Section 2: Permitted Uses, Deviation from Requirements of the Underlying Zone District. A. Permitted Uses. All properties located within the Historic Overlay Zone shall be permitted to have the same uses as permitted in the underlying zoning district, subject to the requirements of the underlying zoning district, except where this Ordinance specifies exceptions to the requirements of the underlying zoning district. B. Deviation from Requirements of the Underlying Zone District. An applicant may propose, and (after review and recommendation by the Historical Commission) the Planning Director may allow an applicant to deviate from certain development standards set forth in the City's Zoning Code ("Development Standards") and in the Neighborhood Conservation Guidelines and Historic Overlay Zone Standards, provided the proposal satisfies the evaluation criteria of this subsection. This process differs from the variance procedure in that rather than approval being based upon unusual circumstances or a physical hardship, it is based upon the quality of the proposed design. This alternative process is intended to promote well-designed and innovative housing which may not strictly comply with the established standards and guidelines, but which meets the intent of the Standards and Guidelines. In evaluating such a proposal, the Planning Director, using the Historical Commission's recommendation as a guide, shall determine if the alternative design provides equivalent or superior results than compliance with the established standards and guidelines. 1. What can be changed: a. Historic Overlay Zone Guidelines b.Building setbacks c. Accessory Building Height d. Roof pitch e. Building Height by no more than 10% 2. What cannot be changed. a. Number of off street parking spaces b. Uses permitted by the zone in which the property is located c. Regulations for nonconforming uses d. Standards for ESA's e. Shoreline Regulations 3. Basis for deviation (See Neighborhood Conservation Guidelines for further criteria.) The applicant, if requesting a deviation from either a multi-family or single-family development, shall provide plans and a written narrative describing the deviation request to the Historical Commission for review. The plans and narrative will provide the Historical Commission with sufficient detail to determine if the proposed development shall provide a project equivalent or superior to what would result from compliance with the Development Standards and/or the Neighborhood Conservation Guidelines and Historic Overlay Zone Standards. The Historical Commission shall make its recommendation to the Planning Director based on the following criteria. 30
