Design Guidelines are criteria and standards that the Design/Development Review Commission must consider in determining the appropriateness of proposed work within a historic district. The goal of these guidelines and of the district is to maintain this relationship, not to require restoration to a certain historical period. This task must be accomplished with an appreciation of the diversity of the area, which is critical to its character. Because of this diversity, these guidelines must be administered in a flexible manner so that the historic integrity and feel can be maintained with minimal technical restrictions.
