Architectural style <br />All architecture needs to consider compatibility with the surrounding context. Ultimately, <br />choosing which architectural style to use is a matter of choice. In choosing an architectural style <br />it is not necessary to achieve an exact replication of the style with all of its characterlstic details <br />and decoration. Rather, the goal should be to Incorporate the most distinctive character defining <br />features of the style. <br />AFFROMATE WILL <br />- <br />�r-� <br />paitamt d Yull/Fp N �FirlrW <br />INAFFROFMATE INFILL <br />a <br />� N broken b Nry� oYRVu�M builllnp <br />New builders should become familiar with the various architectural styles in the neighborhood <br />and particularly with those in the immediate vicinity of their property. Height and scale of <br />existing homes should be considered. Height and scale are important considerations because <br />new infill buildings are sometimes taller than one story and their height and bulk can impose on <br />adjacent structures. The height of new buildings should be considered within the context of their <br />surroundings. Buildings with greater height should consider setbacks at the second story to <br />reduce impacts on adjacent single -story structures. <br />Elevations <br />All building elevations should be architecturally detailed. Elevations that do not directly face a <br />street should not be ignored, nor should they receive only minimal architectural treatment. <br />Porches <br />Front porches are commonly found architectural features on most residences in Heninger Park. <br />The incorporation of porches on new houses is encouraged for both practical and aesthetic <br />value. These elements should be integrated to break up large front facades and add human <br />scale. <br />Garages <br />Garages should be detached and constructed near the rear property of new homes. Offsetting <br />the garage behind the front facade of the house, providing a side entry garage, or accessing the <br />garage from the side or rear of the lot Is also appropriate. If the streetscape is such that all <br />garages are detached and set back, the new garage should follow the same siting criteria. <br />55 <br />Resolution No. 2006-022 <br />Page 61 of 71 <br />
