landscape architects and other design professionals in order to maintain
design continuity throughout the development and within the home area;

commission in the subsequent review of building plans as noted in
the plan review and plan disposition procedures.
(Ord. 774 § 1 (E), 1982)
The architectural style shall be rugged rustic motif. Each residential
area should convey its own blend of building forms, textures and site
relationships. There is not one particular style but rather an atmosphere
which should be the result of building designs, sensitively integrated
with the site, the topography and the character of the property.
(Ord. 774 § 1 (E), 1982)
Buildings and other improvements should be appropriate in mass
and scale to the site on which they are placed. The site and its relationship
to other structures, scenic values, climatic orientation, access and
topography should be dominant factors in the design and orientation
of structures on each site.
(Ord. 774 § 1 (E), 1982)
Landscape design and proper use of plant materials can dominate
the total visual image presented by the buildings and building clusters.
Landscape design materials should include native materials. Landscape
design should respect solar access rights and should be utilized for
micro-climatic control around structures and outdoor use areas. The
design of fencing and exterior lighting is an integral part of the
landscape design process.
(Ord. 774 § 1 (E), 1982)
The building and its elements should be unified in textures,
colors and materials to provide an order and coherence, not only with
themselves, but with the surrounding environment of country setting.
Nature provides a strong coherent order without monotony including
symmetrical, asymmetrical, linear and curvilinear forms, and rough
and smooth textures. The design of improvements should complement
this natural site order and present a visual imagery of area identity
and at the same time, a country appearance of randomness in form,
texture and color.
