2. Addit ions to histor ic bui ld ings should be complementary and not detract f rom the bui ld ing’s essent ia l character

3. New construct ion should be compat ib le with adjacent histor ic d istr icts and bui ld ings

1. Ground F loors should contr ibute to a l ive ly , pedestr ian-scaled environment at the street level . Retai l , restaurants, personal serv ices, cultural fac i l i t ies , and s imi lar uses are appropr iate

2. Vert ica l ly mixed-use bui ld ings are encouraged

3. Bui ld ings should be or iented to the street on which they front

4. Setbacks should be within 10 feet of the front property l ine in order to re inforce the tradit ional pedestr ian character of the commercia l corr idors

5. A high degree of transparency should be incorporated into ground f loor spaces

6. Parking should be located to the rear of bui ld ings or in structures that are screened from street v iew by commercia l /mixed-use architecture. Serv ice and loading zones should be screened from the publ ic r ight-of-way

1. New s ingle- and two-fami ly housing should be compat ib le with the tradit ional architecture of the neighborhood. This would inc lude height and width, bui ld ing mater ia ls , f ront porches, roof pitch, setbacks, and the proport ions, width and spacing of window and door openings
