DESIGN GUIDELINES

The purpose of the Residential Design Guidelines is to encourage and facilitate homeowners and developers to design homes that are compatible with the existing homes around them. These guidelines provide both advice and requirements to help ensure that custom-designed homes incorporate features and details that respond to the exisiting building in their neighborhood. In the same way, they provide those using commercially purchased home plans with guidance on how to modify those plans to make them more compatible with neighboring homes.

The Residential Design Guidelines were adopted August 13, 2025 after a rigorous review by the community, staff, the Planning & Zoning Commission and the Architectural Review Board.
