GUIDELINE APPLICATION
Some of the guidelines contained in this document use the word “shall” while others use the word “should.” Regardless of which term is used, each guideline must be addressed by an applicant. The City will expect to see how the design of a project has responded to every one of the guidelines.
The “shall” statements, with such wording, are absolutely mandatory and offer relatively little flexibility unless choices are provided within the statement itself. All projects must include these elements as described. However, guidelines that use the word “should” are meant to be applied with some flexibility. They indicate that the City is open to design features that are equal to, or better than, that stated - so long as the intent is satisfied. The applicant assumes the burden of proof to demonstrate how a proposed design meets this test and determination will be made by the Director. |
