The following issues will be considered in reviewing and evaluating requested changes in addition to standard review criteria. The intent of this list is not to be exhaustive, but simply to highlight key issues that should be considered:
(A) While all building elevations are important, the most important is the one seen from the street. The design and width of the front elevation will be comparable with but not necessarily equal to the previous approval, so that any change in unit size will not substantially impact the width of the house as viewed from the street.
(B) The quality of building materials utilized shall be at least comparable to the previously approved product(s). Additionally, the architectural form of the home shall not be significantly simplified, unless it can be found that the proposed form is desirable for the style of house proposed.
(C) The proposed architecture should be compatible with the previously approved project. If the new architecture and/or home design is significantly different from the previously approved project, then the new homes should be grouped into neighborhoods distinct and separate from the existing homes.
(D) If the proposed units are larger than the previously approved project, then the issue of building mass (i.e., the amount of total building square footage as compared to the size of the parcel) shall be considered.
