A
Hello,
everyone
good
evening,
thank
you
all
for
attending
all
right.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
taking
the
time
to
join
us
today,
so
we're
here
today
to
present
the
first
working
draft
of
the
new
form
based
code
for
the
city
of
puna
gorda,
and
we're
really
excited
to
finally
get
to
show
you
everything.
We've
been
working
on
so
far.
A
With
that,
just
what
we're
going
to
be
covering
today,
specifically
I'm
going
to
go
over
very
quickly
through
the
timeline
and
where
we
are
in
the
process
and
then
we'll
go
right
into
the
actual
form
based
code
and
take
a
close
look
at
what
the
regulating
districts
are,
what
the
overlay
districts
are
and
then
the
building
types,
architectural
standards
and
finally,
the
community
benefit
program,
and
then
we'll
have
time
at
the
end
to
do
a
question
and
answer
as
well
all
right.
So
where
are
we
in
the
process?
A
Well,
for
the
quote,
specifically,
we
did
our
kickoff
meeting
in
february
of
this
year.
We
were
here
in
march,
where
we
did
two
code
workshops
where
we
invited
you
all
to
give
us
ideas
and,
and
your
perspective
on
you
know
what
are
the
building
types
you
think
are
appropriate
in
puna
gorda
and
where?
A
What
are
the
types
of
intensity,
you
think
are
appropriate
and
following
those
workshops
in
march,
we
got
right
started
on
the
actual
code.
So,
right
now,
like
I
said
we're
presenting
the
draft
in
progress
code
to
you
all
tomorrow,
we're
also
doing
an
open
house
at
lashley,
marina.
There
will
be
three
times
for
that:
8
a.m
to
10
a.m,
also
from
12
to
2
p.m
and
from
5
to
7.
A
So
if
you're
interested
in
any
topic
that
you
hear
today
or
you
want
to
know
more
or
really
dig
into
some
of
the
details
of
the
code
or
even
just
understand
how
to
use
it,
definitely
stop
by
and
we'll
be
there
to
walk
you
through
it
and
answer
any
questions
you
have
and
then
we're
shooting
to
release
the
public.
The
first
draft
of
the
form
based
code
october
8th
so
definitely
stay
tuned.
For
that
we'll
notify
all
of
you.
A
We
have
your
email,
so
you'll
know
exactly
where
you
can
find
it,
and
all
of
that
is
with
the
goal
of
getting
us
to
the
second
draft
of
the
code.
After
we
get
all
your
feedback
and
input
sometime
between
november
and
december
of
this
year
and
then
getting
into
public
hearings
to
adopt
the
new
code
sometime
in
january
through
march
of
next
year,.
A
All
right,
so
this
is
the
final
phase
and
what
has
been
a
three-phase
process?
We've
been
working
in
puna
gorda
just
about
three
years
now
we
started
with
our
citywide
master
plan
then
started
work
on
the
comprehensive
plan
update.
We
got
through
the
first
draft
of
the
comprehensive
plan
update
to
the
pause
so
that
we
can
focus
on
the
code
and
the
goal
is
really
to
adopt
both
the
updated
comprehensive
plan
and
the
new
code
together
at
once
with
that
we'll
dive
into
the
code,
so
just
to
take
a
step
back.
A
What
do
we
think
about
when
we're
trying
to
update
a
city's
land
development
regulations?
There's
a
lot
of
different
things?
We
have
to
keep
in
mind.
Is
it
easy
to
understand?
Is
it
clear
to
any
property
owner
what's
allowed
on
each
parcel?
Do
the
proposed
development
regulations
reduce
previous
development
rights?
That's
something
we
definitely
don't
want
to
do
so.
We
have
to
make
sure
we're
not
reducing
property
rights
for
any
particular
parcel.
A
So
lots
of
things
that
we're
thinking
about
as
we
get
into
this?
So
we
opted
for
a
form-based
code
for
this
portion
of
unicorda,
which
is
specifically
kind
of
the
traditionally
and
historically
platted
neighborhoods
around
and
in
downtown
puno
gorda
and
the
pros
are
doing
a
form-based
code.
That's
a
very
visual
document.
It's
easy
to
see
it
and
understand
it
without
having
to
read
a
lot
of
text,
and
it
gives
you
a
lot
more
predictability
as
to
the
character
and
quality
of
the
development.
A
I
don't
know
if
we
want
to
keep
it
this
time.
Is
it
better
for
you
all
to
see
it
like
this?
Okay,
so
we'll
keep
it
so
now
the
key
ideas
that
we
were
focused
on
when
looking
at
what
changes
we
were
going
to
implement
in
the
code
were
a
couple
of
things,
one
allowing
for
a
greater
variety
of
housing
types.
A
Your
existing
code
is
limiting
right
now,
and
that
includes
calibrating
density
to
get
the
kinds
of
development
that
were
historically
permitted
in
the
city,
but
have
not
that
currently
are
now
not
permitted
any
longer
and
we'll
go
into
some
of
these
building
types
through
the
presentation
also
establishing
new
land
use
categories
and
we'll
show
you
the
map
of
those
different
areas
and
districts,
establishing
building
types
and
architectural
styles
that
are
permitted
in
specific
areas.
This
is
where
you
can
get
a
lot
more
control
over
the
development
you're
going
to
get.
A
We
wanted
to
clarify
policy
language,
taking
the
policies
we
established
in
the
comprehensive
plan
and
making
sure
they're
being
implemented
in
the
code
and
then
clarifying
some
things,
we're
going
to
be
establishing
some
new
local
registered
historic
districts.
As
a
part
of
this
code
introducing
a
maker
and
interchange,
commercial
overlay
and
revising
and
tweaking
the
actual
numerical
standards
as
they
exist
today,.
A
A
So
what
are
the
types
of
rules
that
you'll
find
within
the
regulating
districts?
The
regulating
districts
are
controlling
things
like
lot
coverage,
so
what
amount
of
a
lot
can
be
covered
by
a
building?
Also
frontage
build
out,
which
is
how
much
linear
footage
along
the
actual
street
has
to
be
covered
by
a
building.
A
Then
we
have
maximum
building
height
and
density
setbacks,
parking
setbacks,
encroachments,
which
means
how
different
elements
within
the
building
can
project
beyond
the
minimum
setback.
Things
like
torches,
which
are
allowed
to
project
a
little
bit
further
out
than
the
entire
building
can
and
then
we
also
have
additional
standards
like
permitted,
building
types
and
architectural
style.
These
are
actually
what
are
going
to
help
ensure
get
the
most
predictable
development
possible.
A
Building
types
specifically
regulate
things
like
the
lot
width,
depth
and
area.
Different
building
types
will
need
different
size
lots,
so
the
type
of
minimum
lot
size
you
may
need
for
a
single
family
detached
house
is
very
different
from
what
you
need
from
a
larger
mixed
use.
Building
like
some
of
the
ones,
you
see
downtown,
also
the
number
of
units
residential
units
that
are
allowed
with
each
building
type,
the
density
and
height
of
each
building
type,
the
specific
location
of
parking.
A
So
we
have
general
parking
setbacks
in
the
regulating
district,
but
certain
building
types
may
have
even
more
specific
rules
as
to
where
the
parking
can
be
and
then
again
going
back
to
the
form-based
standards
that
really
control
what
the
building's
going
to
look
like.
We
have
rules
that
account
for
fenestration,
which
means
the
amount
and
the
transparency
of
windows
and
doors
and
the
permitted
types
of
roofs,
the
different
building
elements,
which
could
be
things
like
balconies
or
chimneys,
and
different
frontage
types
as
well.
These
are
all
things
that
are
permitted
for
specific
building
types.
A
A
So
this
encompass
this
encompasses
the
public
lands
owned
by
the
city,
for
the
primary
purpose
is
providing
recreation
parks
and
open
spaces
that
benefit
the
whole
community,
and
so
these
have
to
be
accessible
by
the
public.
Very
limited
amount
of
buildings
allowed
in
this
district
and
it
really
serves
civic
uses,
and
so
the
allowed
building
types
in
this
specific
regulating
district,
the
only
type,
is
what
we're
calling
the
civic
institutional
building
type.
A
So
we
have
a
specific
building
type
that
covers
a
range
of
different
buildings,
from
civic
buildings,
to
religious
buildings,
to
institutional
buildings,
a
variety
of
scales.
So
this
is
a
building
type.
That's
meant
to
allow
for
many
different
kinds
of
buildings
that
don't
necessarily
fit
a
conventional
role
like
housewood
or
a
duplex
wood.
A
A
A
lot
of
them
are,
but
today
is
the
nr10
zoning
district
for
those
of
you
who
are
familiar
with
the
existing
stunning,
so
the
traditional
residential.
This
is
the
least
intense
area,
besides
parks
and
open
space,
and
it's
meant
to
allow
both
detached
and
attached
residential,
on
narrow,
to
average
size
lots
with
small
to
medium
setbacks.
A
Up
to
two
and
a
half
stories
with
an
elevated
ground
floor,
like
most
residential
is
here
in
florida
and
the
frontage
types
that
we're
requiring
here
include
things
like
stoops,
porticos,
porches
and
those
are
kind
of
the
the
required
furnaces.
You
have
a
menu
of
frontages
you're
allowed
to
use,
but
you
have
to
pick
one
essentially
to
front
the
building.
A
So
the
building
types
that
are
allowed
in
the
traditional
residential
district
are
the
house,
the
accessory
cottage,
which
is
only
allowed
in
conjunction
with
the
house
and
the
row
house,
and
the
live
work.
So
you
can
only
put
your
accessory
cottage
in
a
couple
of
other
building
types
and
you
have
the
cottage
court,
which
is
a
collection
of
small
bungalows
or
cottages
on
one
lot
facing
a
central
shared
space
and
then
the
duplex.
A
So
it
really
occurs
along
the
borders
of
the
traditional
residential
areas,
still
has
detached
and
attached
residential
narrow
to
average
lot
widths
small
to
medium
setbacks,
but
it
does
allow
one
additional
space.
Now,
instead
of
two
enough
squares,
you
can
go
up
to
three
and
a
half
and
again
this
is
actually
set
in
numerical
height
standards
too,
but
just
as
a
overview,
and
it
has
the
same
kind
of
frontages
that
are
allowed
in
the
traditional
resolution.
A
Now
the
next
regulating
district
is
what
we
call
the
neighborhood
transition,
so
this
one
is
a
district
that
is
transitioning
between
purely
residential
neighborhoods
and
mixed-use
neighborhoods.
So
along
the
edges
of
areas
like
the
downtown
core
or
the
village
center.
You
have
these
transitional
areas
where
the
scale
of
the
buildings
is
meant
to
match
the
residential
neighborhoods,
but
we're
allowing
a
couple
more
mixed-use
types.
A
A
The
main
street
shop
front,
which
is
very
similar
to
the
building
types
along
marion
near
main
street,
the
neighborhood
shop
front,
which
is
a
commercial
building
that
looks
like
a
home.
You
guys
have
a
lot
of
great
examples
of
these
in
town
of
homes
that
were
converted
to
restaurants
or
a
cafe
or
a
boutique.
A
You
know
pizza
gourd
as
an
example.
Just
we
really
like
that
type,
it's
very
unique
to
puna
gorda,
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
kind
of
development
is
allowed
and
then
finally,
the
small
footprint
mixed
use.
So
this
is
a
two
to
three
story:
building
that
has
ground
floor
of
commercial
retail
and
then
upper
floors
which
can
be
office
or
apartments.
A
It
does
allow
for
some
side
yard
parking,
unlike
a
lot
of
the
other
districts,
we've
talked
about,
and
we
had
to
make
some
exceptions
for
this
district
and
the
next
one
to
you
know
be
flexible
about
where
the
parking
can
be
given
the
uses
that
we
find
in
this
district.
Still,
the
height
is
limited
to
three
stories
like
a
lot
of
the
surrounding
areas
and
it's
mixed
use
and
allows
a
lot
of
different
builds.
A
So,
in
addition
to
the
residential
types
that
we
just
described,
we're
adding
on
two
special
buildings,
one
is
the
loft
which
could
be
an
office.
It
could
be
offices,
it
could
be
commercial
or
it
could
be
residential
and
a
warehouse
type
because
there's
already
a
lot
of
warehouses
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you're
still
able
to
do
a
warehouse
we
may
require.
A
A
All
right,
moving
on
to
the
flex
commercial
district,
this
one!
It
follows
your
highway
commercial
zoning
right
now.
So
it's
a
lot
of
the
more
suburban
strip
commercial
that
you
find
along
us,
41
north
of
airport
road,
and
this
one
is
pretty
unique
from
the
other
ones.
We
wanted
to
give
this
district
the
most
flexibility
possible,
so
buildings
are
primarily
detached
buildings,
medium
to
large
footprint.
A
Again,
like
the
maker
village,
we
are
allowing
side
yard
parking,
which
means
parking,
that's
next
to
the
building,
instead
of
behind
it
and
a
little
bit
more
height
the
opportunity
to
get
more
height
in
this
district
as
well
up
to
five
stories,
but
only
with
community
benefits
and
you'll
notice
me
saying
the
opportunity
to
get
more
height
for
this
district
and
the
next
one.
There
are
three
districts
that
allow
the
option
to
get
additional
higher
density
through
the
provision
of
community
benefits
and
we'll
explain
more
details
about
that
program
at
the
end.
A
A
Those
are
types
that
are
very
difficult,
if
not
impossible,
to
melt
in
most
neighborhoods
in
puna
gorda
today,
because
of
the
density
so
and
yet
they're
really
important
to
getting
a
greater
variety
and
mix
of
housing
types
in
the
city
at
a
variety
of
price
points
too.
So
we
want
to
encourage
people
to
be
able
to
do
that
so
for
developers
in
this
area
who
want
to
build
any
of
those
types
of
housing,
then
we
would
require
them
to
follow
the
building
type
standards.
A
Now,
just
because
the
building
type
standards
are
not
required
doesn't
mean
they
can
build
whatever
they
want
here.
So
they
still
have
to
follow
the
general
building
design
standards
as
a
part
of
our
architectural
provisions
and
the
frontage
standards.
Frontage
standards
which
I'll
go
into
more
detail
later,
basically
outline
the
types
of
fronts
that
the
building
can
have
facing
the
sidewalk
or
the
street,
whether
it's
requiring
awnings
or
some
kind
of
canopy
or
a
storefront,
with
some
amount
of
glass
to
allow
light
to
shine
through
onto
the
sidewalk
things
like
that.
A
So
this
is
a
higher
intensity
from
some
of
the
other
districts
we've
seen
so
far.
It's
meant
to
allow
compact
mixed-use
development
that
creates
really
walkable
vibrant
neighborhoods,
much
more
urban.
So
here
we
have
in
small
small
setbacks
or
no
setbacks.
So
that
means
the
building
can
come
all
the
way
up
to
the
sidewalk,
which
gives
you
a
much
more
urban
environment
like
what
you
have
in
downtown
already.
A
A
So,
in
addition
to
all
of
the
housing
types
we've
already
discussed,
there
is
another
special
building
that
we're
going
to
add
on
for
the
village
center
and
that's
the
liner
building.
That's
because
the
village
center,
along
with
the
downtown
core,
is
the
only
district
where
you
can
build
structured
parking
and
so
along
with
structured
parking.
We
know
that
we
want
to
hide
parking
as
much
as
possible
for
good
urban
design,
and
so
we
require
something
called
the
liner
building
and
that's
a
much
shallower
footprint
building.
A
A
All
right,
and
in
addition
to
that,
we've
added
one
more
building
type,
which
is
the
medium
footprint
mixed
use.
This
is
actually
the
largest
building
type
that
we
have
so,
unlike
the
small
footprint,
it
can
be
a
little
bit
bigger
and
it
can
go
a
little
bit
taller.
That's
really
the
only
difference.
A
So
what
are
these
overlays?
All
that
an
overlay
district
is,
is
it's
a
special
area
that
has
unique
rules
that
may
supersede
the
regulating
district
standards
for
specific
things?
So,
where
we've
drawn
an
overlay,
they
will
have
rules,
for
example
the
permitted
building
types
or
permitted
architectural
styles
that
apply
or
that
supersede
that
the
rules
of
the
underlying
regulating
district,
another
thing
that
they
might
have
more
control
over
is
maximum
building
height
and
I'll.
Explain
that
now
here
is
just
a
more
zoomed
in
map
that
shows
the
actual
overlay
districts.
A
So
again
we
have
four
new
local
historic
districts
that
will
really
help
protect
all
of
the
amazing
historic
buildings
you
already
have
and
in
those
specifically
we're
going
to
be
controlling
the
architectural
styles
very
carefully
and
then
there's
the
medical
overlay
district,
which
is
around
the
hospital
okay.
So
what
is
different
about
the
actual
historic
districts?
A
Well
in
the
downtown
historic
district,
we're
limiting
the
actual
architectural
styles
that
are
allowed
to
the
ones
you
see
on
this
list.
So
the
permitted
architectural
styles
for
the
underlying
district
has
a
much
larger
list
or
a
larger
list.
But
if
you're
in
the
downtown
historic
district,
you're
limited
to
these
architectural
styles-
and
they
were
selected
based
on
the
existing
historic
design
guidelines
that
from
the
gorda
has
with
some
tweaks
to
really
foster
the
kinds
of
buildings
that
historically
have
been
constructed.
There.
A
We
know
that
there's
certain
streets
where
we
want
to
keep
the
building
heights
lower
on
purpose,
for
example,
along
marion
along
taylor
and
sullivan,
there's
some
really
nice
commercial
retail
buildings
that
are
only
one
in
two
stores.
So
by
creating
this
overlay,
we're
ensuring
that
whatever
is
built
directly
across
the
street,
is
going
to
match
that
scale.
A
Next,
we
have
the
grace
street
mid-century,
modern,
historic
district.
Puna
gorda
has
a
really
unique
cluster
of
mid-century
homes,
from
the
50s
and
60s
and
along
grey
street,
and
along
and
street
they're
pretty
much
all
they're
intact.
So
that's
what
you're
looking
for
when
you
create
a
local
historic
district.
A
Finally,
for
the
historic
overlays,
we
have
the
neighborhood
conservation
district,
so,
like
the
downtown
historic
district,
this
one
is
going
to
limit
the
number
of
architectural
styles
that
are
permitted.
This
is
the
exact
same
list
I'll
add
as
the
downtown
historic
district.
We
want
to
make
sure
the
historic
areas,
both
west
and
east
of
41
have
the
same
architectural
styles
and
really
create
an
overall
greater
downtown
that
you
know
feels
cohesive
in
terms
of
the
types
of
buildings
and
style
buildings
that
get
built.
A
And,
lastly,
we
have
the
medical
overlay.
So
all
of
the
other
overlays
we
looked
at
really
kind
of
reduce
or
restrict
either
the
number
of
architectural
styles
or
the
building
height
that's
allowed.
The
medical
overlay
does
the
opposite,
so
we
want
to
encourage
medical
related
and
hospital
uses
in
the
medical
overlay.
A
Finally,
it's
the
architectural
provisions
and
these
are
so
important
to
really
getting
predictable
development,
and
there
are
three
kinds
of
architectural
provisions:
there's
general
building
design
standards
which
apply
to
all
buildings
in
any
district.
Then
there
are
frontage
standards.
These
define
different
types
of
building,
frontages
and
different
building
types
and
regulating
districts
will
permit
different
types
of
frontages.
And
finally,
we
have
architectural
styles
and
we'll
go
through
all
of
them
in
just
a
second.
A
I
just
wanted
to
show
you
all
an
example
of
some
of
the
pages
from
our
general
building
styles.
What
are
we
controlling
for
through
these
standards?
We're
controlling
for
the
sad
composition,
which
I
know
is
a
fancy
word.
It
just
means
what
is
the
rhythm
of
the
doors
and
windows?
Do
they
make
sense?
Are
they
logical?
A
Do
they
create
a
building,
that's
nice
to
look
at,
and
that
fits
with
what
you
historically
have
here?
Also
the
transparency
and
number
of
window
openings,
the
entrances
and
access
into
the
buildings?
Where
do
they
have
to
be
located
the
different
roof
types
that
are
allowed
and
specifically
the
roof
pitch
where
you
can
have
garages
and
accessory
structures?
What
those
could
look
like
and
specific,
exterior
architectural
elements,
things
like
moldings
and
columns
and
bay
windows
and
balconies?
How
big
can
they
be?
How
many
can
you
have?
A
A
So
you
can
see
the
terrace
I'll
point
to
it.
Here:
apologies
for
those
online,
but
it's
the
bottom
right
corner.
This
is
a
frontage
type
that
allows
you
to
have
good
access
into
a
retail
store
or
restaurant
with
room
for
seating,
even
though
the
base
flood
elevation
because
of
the
fema
requirements
has
been
elevated.
A
So
these
are
all
the
furnished
types
that
are
allowed.
We
have
galleries,
arcades,
storefronts
lobby
entrances
lots
of
different
shading
devices
from
awnings
to
canopies,
to
balconies
that
shade
the
entrance
door,
four
courts,
which
actually
create
a
little
courtyard
terraces,
like
I
just
mentioned,
and
then
a
lot
for
residential
buildings
like
verticals,
stoops,
three
different
kinds
of
porches
and
again
entry
count,
canopies
and
balconies
as
well.
A
Finally,
we
have
architectural
styles,
so
these
define
standards
and
rules
for
materials,
roof
types
window
and
door
types,
fortunately
details
and
ornamentation.
I
know
this
list
looks
similar
to
the
types
of
things
we
were
regulating
in
the
general
building
design
standards
and
that's
true.
They
are
similar,
but
they
go
into
more
specifics
about
what's
appropriate
for
your
style
of
your
house
or
building.
A
So
while
there
are
requirements
in
general
for
how
many
windows
or
how
much
fenestration
or
transparency
there
needs
to
be,
the
architectural
styles
will
tell
you
exactly
what
kind
of
window
is
appropriate,
whether
it's
casement
double
hung,
single
home,
etc?
For
that
specific
architectural
style,
as
well
as
the
kinds
of
ornamentation
you
might
find
on
the
balcony
or
along
the
porch,
that's
appropriate
for
that
style
and
I'll
quickly
go
through
the
styles,
so
we
are
permitting
a
florida
wood
frame
vernacular.
A
A
Okay,
so
now
I'm
just
going
to
talk
about
that
community
benefit
program
that
I
discussed
so
in
order
to
achieve
some
of
the
goals
that
we
established
in
the
comprehensive
plan
and
through
the
citywide
master
plan,
including
compact
in-field
development,
that
not
only
helps
to
revitalize
the
downtown
and
some
of
the
adjacent
neighborhoods,
but
it
also
will
help
preserve
some
buildings
that
used
to
get
built
when
the
density
was
actually
higher
than
what
it
is
today.
But
it'll
also
give
puna
guardian
opportunity
to
build
certain
housing
types
that
just
aren't
permitted
today.
A
A
Then
we
have
what's
called
the
missing
middle
density.
This
is
permitted
by
right
for
specific,
missing
middle
housing
types
in
any
area
of
the
form-based
code,
except
for
the
traditional
residential
with
a
maximum
density
of
30
dwelling
units
to
the
acre.
So
the
building
types
that
allow
this
extra
density
are
live,
work
row,
houses,
triplex
and
fourplexes,
multiplex,
courtyard
apartment,
small
footprint,
footprint,
mixed
use
and
loft
buildings.
So
again
traditional
residential
neighborhoods.
A
If
you
remember
way
back
it's
one
of
the
first
regulating
districts,
we
saw
on
the
light
yellow
that
covers
a
lot
of
the
nr10
today.
Those
are
excluded
from
this,
because
the
only
building
types
allowed
there
are
houses
accessory
cottages,
cottage
courts
and
duplexes,
which
have
a
lower
density
than
these.
A
So
here
you
can
see
that
again
and
this
chart
has
all
of
the
actual
base
missing
middle
and
maximum
intensity
numbers.
There's
a
lot
to
look
at
here,
but
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
again
only
those
three
regulating
districts,
the
downtown
core
village
center
and
flex
commercial
quarter-
would
allow
the
maximum
possible,
through
the
community
benefit
program.
A
Okay,
no
there.
It
is
so
you're
creating
a
point
system
and
certain
benefits
will
accrue
certain
points
so
just
show
you
an
example
of
that
for
public
open
space,
a
developer
can
achieve
up
to
10
points
by
providing
the
greater
of
15
of
the
overall
site
area
or
three
thousand
square
feet:
public
open
space.
A
A
So
just
as
a
summary,
how
do
you
use
this
code?
We
haven't
released
it
yet,
but
we'll
be
releasing
it
soon
and
as
a
kind
of
summary
of
everything
we've
talked
about
so
step
one.
Where
is
my
property?
You
have
to
find
where
the
your
specific
property,
your
house
or
your
business
is
within
the
regulating
district
find
out
which
district
applies
and,
if
there's
any
overlay.
That
also
applies
to
that
property.
A
Step
two
is
to
understand:
what's
permitted
there,
so
what
are
those
development
standards
within
the
regulating
districts
and
then
what
are
the
actual
building
types
and
architectural
styles
that
are
permitted
for
my
regulating
district
and
overlay
if
I'm
within
an
overlay?
And
lastly,
how
should
my
building
look
when
I'm
ready
to
renovate
or
build
from
scratch?
