Established Neighborhoods. Premise: Established neighborhoods often meet the design standards for safety that are described on the previous pages: homes are oriented to the street for natural surveillance, there is a clear transition from public to private, vehicular access is from the alley, and there is an already established sense of individual territory and neighborhood responsibility. Design Intent: Design new infill development to complement and enhance the existing neighborhood; it should in no way detract from the desirable characteristics of the neighborhood. This new construction will usually be in neighborhoods with a mix of older single family homes and small multiple family buildings. The designer of a project in these areas should review the guidelines of this section for important design elements that will promote compatibility with the established context in these neighborhoods. • Consider design elements of surrounding buildings to promote compatibility and complement character in existing neighborhoods. • Use similar building proportions and building articulation. • Use similar roof forms and pitch. • Maintain similar relationship to the street for entryways and setbacks. • Use similar architectural details or features such as bay windows, dormers, porches, finish materials, and other elements. • Review the Guidelines for the Rucker Grand Historic Overlay District. 4:?
