Bulk trash receptacles, outdoor storage, loading docks, and other accessory uses (like areas and structures) shall be located or screened so that they are not visible from the street.

Mechanical equipment shall only be located in the side or rear yards, or on the roof, and shall be buffered or screened with natural or man-made barriers, such as shrubbery, or fencing or architectural features.

When there is a two-story wall that is greater than forty (40') feet in length, a one-foot change in the plane is required at any point in the wall. Such change can be achieved by using bay or bow windows, roof lines, columns, porches, varying horizontal elevations, recesses, bump outs, or by stepping back the height in tiers, or other structural or architectural relief.

For townhouse or similar residential structures, there shall be a two (2') foot change in the plane between every two units or every forty (40') feet, whichever is less.

No two contiguous homes shall have identical facades.

Additions to existing buildings shall be designed with a style, materials, colors, and details that are compatible with the existing structure.

Building eaves may extend no farther than 15 inches beyond the required setback line; otherwise, variance relief shall be required. This building eave exception shall not apply in any instance where its application would cause the building eave to encroach beyond a property line or into a public right-of-way.

In order to contribute to the goals of orderly design, aesthetics, and pedestrian compatibility, the façade of a building or structure, as indicated by front entry, shall face the street. On corner lots, the façade shall face the primary or wider street.
