Second -story residential fagades may not extend to the front
face of garage bays without additional facade modulation or
additional material types and architectural accents.
Building fagades and structures, including detached garages and
carports, with a projection depth towards the front property
line of more than 30% the primary facade width are not allowed.
Residential buildings with attached units must articulate the
R3.2D design to differentiate facades of individual units or groups of
units. Must consistently incorporate any two of the following:
modulation, material, or color variation.
Design accessory structures to be compatible with residential build -
Goal ings. Accessory structures include, but are not limited to, sheltered
V R3.30 mailboxes, storage areas, maintenance and recreational facilities,
detached garages and carports, and secondary dwellings.
