The proposed French country inspired hpme is located within a variety of older styles neighborhood. The steep roof pitch, dormers, cement plaster are all consistent with this style and it should blend well on this block without changing the character of the neighborhood. 3. How ivill the proposed project be consistent with the residentia[ design guidelines adopted by t{:e city (C.S. 25.57)? The proposed single-family residence with detached garage is consistent with City Design Review Guidelines, and it complies with all zoning requirements, except for the height (Special permit) where it's minimal above the 30 feet height limit, which is also allowed under the special permit. 4.
