An overlay district, known as the Neighborhood Character Preservation Overlay District, is hereby created within the RS single-family residential Gulf Stream Core district containing all properties between Polo Drive on the west and Gulfstream Road on the east, from Golfview Drive on the south to Old School Road on the north. This overlay district is designed to preserve the neighborhood character of the Gulf Stream Core district, which contains one-story and a few partial two-story houses which fit comfortably on medium-sized lots and its elegant, yet understated, village feel. In order to preserve this village feel, the Neighborhood Character Preservation Overlay District provides incentives for one-story houses while reducing the massing impact of two-story houses for those property owners who prefer to construct two-story houses.
