It is not the intent of this chapter to discourage new construction or other development, nor to limit it to any one period of architectural style, but to preserve the integrity of the historic buildings and to ensure the compatibility of any new work constructed in the historic district. In making its decisions, the Board shall consider the effects of proposed alterations or construction on both the individual structure involved and on the neighborhood surrounding the structure. The Board shall also consider the Madison Design Review Guidelines, contained in Appendix A, specifically pages 35-139. The Board may amend the Guidelines from time to time subject to approval by the Common Council.
