The Planning Board shall establish guidelines to be known as Design Guidelines for the District which shall be submitted by the Planning Board to the Board of Commissioners for its approval. Any amendments or supplements thereto proposed by the Planning Board shall also be submitted to the Board of Commissioners for its approval. The Design Guidelines may be used in the review of all development applications and applications for Certificates of Appropriateness in the District. The Design Guidelines establish "suggested" or "preferred" means of maintaining the visual sense of the past within the District. However, the Design Guidelines are not "requirements" but are to be liberally construed to provide the Planning Board with the flexibility to address the specific circumstances of a particular applicant while achieving the purposes of this section.

[Amendments: Ordinance No. 2017-12, adopted September 12, 2017]

Editor's Note: The Design Guidelines may be found on file in the Borough Offices.
