Any lot or parcel located within the SBW overlay zone, as shown on the official zoning map, depicted within the Legacy Parkway scenic byways master plan corridor map no. 2, or adjacent to and, if deemed applicable, is substantially visible from view of Legacy Parkway, shall be subject to the standards and regulations of this chapter. The SBW is in an overlay zone. Such standards and regulations are intended to be in addition to the existing standards and regulations of the underlying zone of the property and other applicable regulations of this title.
A. Design Standards And Guidelines: This chapter establishes three (3) kinds of design criteria: design theme, design standards and design guidelines.
1. "Design theme" establishes the expected shoreland motif or contextual relationship of the built environment to the natural shoreland environment through the use of principles. These principles are not prioritized, but all are to be reinforced through the implementation of design standards and guidelines that are to be applied in planning the site layout and buildings of all developments in the SBW overlay zone.
2. "Design standards" are required in addition to other standards set forth in this title and are indicated by the verb "shall". In the event of conflict between the standards of this chapter and other applicable provisions of this title, the interpretation and provisions of this chapter shall govern.
3. "Design guidelines" indicate additional actions that are to be taken to enhance the development design and achieve greater compatibility of development in the SBW overlay zone. Guidelines thus use the verb "should", signifying that the guidelines are desirable objectives to be achieved but may not be mandatory or possible for every given development situation.
