(a) Appearance. Construction of a new structure, or an addition to an existing structure, shall have the appearance of a residential dwelling and shall be designed to a residential scale and proportion through the use of construction materials and other design elements, as determined by the Planning and Design Commission. The following examples, which are not intended to be an exhaustive list, illustrate architectural features which define a residential dwelling for the purposes of construction within this district:
(1) Natural construction materials consistent with quality residential construction, such as brick and stone.
(2) Roof lines with vertical elements such as chimneys, dormers, and gables to reduce the visual mass of the roof.
(3) Windows with mullions, double-paned, and of residential quality.
(4) Six-paneled doors, preferably wood and not glass.
(5) Features such as porches, entryways, and residential-style landscaping.
(b) Traffic. Any and all buildings used for non-residential purposes shall front onto or have access from a collector or arterial street.
(c) Storage. Storage of any materials and equipment shall be within an enclosed building.
(d) Nuisance. Non-residential buildings and other structures shall be constructed and/or located, and outdoor uses shall be limited, so as to minimize the possibility that noise, smoke, electrical interference, odor, glare, or any other substance or effect directly related to or resulting from a permitted use, will create a nuisance condition upon adjacent or nearby residential properties. For purposes of this provision, a nuisance condition exists when noise, odor, lighting or such other substance or effect directly related to or resulting from a permitted use endangers another's life or health, or unreasonably limits or interferes with another's quiet and peaceful enjoyment of his or her property.
