The design criteria set forth in this section are intended to provide considerable latitude and freedom to encourage variety in the arrangement of the bulk and shape of buildings, open space and landscape features. The dwelling units may be arranged in various groups, courts, or sequences with open spaces organized and related to dwellings so as to provide privacy as well as usefulness, and to provide a unified composition of buildings and space. Although latitude in design is provided and encouraged, the following minimum design conditions shall be met.
