Policy & Design Guidelines – Additions, page 36
Additions to existing structures in Local Historic Districts have a responsibility to complement the original structure.
Additions should reflect the design, scale and architectural style of the original structure. The following guidelines are
intended to encourage addition designs that are compatible with the existing structure, while not fully mimicking the
original design.
2. Additions must respect the original character of the property, but must be distinguishable from the original
construction.
3. All additions to the front or side of existing properties must be of a design that is sensitive to the character and massing
of the existing structure.
4. Additions to the front or side of existing structures that are substantially visible from a street must go before the full
Commission.
Staff Analysis - The Commission will determine if the proposal meets the guidelines for additions.
