moving, reconstruction, alteration, major maintenance, or repair
<br />involving a color change conspicuously affecting the external
<br />appearance of any nonhistoric building, structure, or appurtenance
<br />within the primary area must be generally of a design, form,
<br />proportion, mass, configuration, building material, texture, color, and
<br />location on a lot compatible with other buildings in the historic district,
<br />particularly with buildings designated as historic, and with squares and
<br />places to which it is visually related.
<br />36-7-11-17. Visual compatibility factors. — Except as provided in section
<br />20 of this chapter, within the primary area of the historic district, new
<br />buildings and structures, as well as buildings, structures, and
<br />appurtenances that are moved, reconstructed, materially altered,
<br />repaired, or changed in color, must be visually compatible with
<br />buildings, squares, and places to which they are visually related
<br />generally in terms of the following visual compatibility factors:
<br />(1) Height. The height of proposed buildings must be visually
<br />compatible with adjacent buildings.
<br />(2) Proportion of building's front facade. The relationship of the
<br />width of a building to the height of the front elevation must be
<br />visually compatible to buildings, squares, and places to which it is
<br />visually related.
<br />(3) Proportion of openings within the facility. The relationship
<br />of the width of the windows to the height of the windows in a
<br />building must be visually compatible with buildings, squares, and
<br />places to which it is visually related.
<br />(4) Rhythm of solids to voids in front facades. The relationship
<br />of solids to voids in the front facade of a building must be visually
<br />compatible with buildings, squares, and places to which it is
<br />visually related.
<br />(5) Rhythm of spacing of buildings on streets. The relationship
<br />of a building to the open space between it and adjoining buildings
<br />must be visually compatible to the buildings, squares, and places
<br />to which it is visually related.
<br />(6) Rhythm of entrances and porch projections. The relationship
<br />of entrances and porch projections to sidewalks of a building must
<br />be visually compatible to the buildings, squares, and places to
<br />which it is visually related.
<br />(7) Relationship of materials, texture, and color. the relationship
<br />of the materials, texture, and color of the facade of a buildings
<br />must be visually compatible with the predominant materials used
<br />in the buildings to which it is visually related.
<br />(8) Roof shapes. The roof shape if a building must be visually
<br />compatible with the buildings to which it is visually related. _
<br />(9) Walls of continuity. Appurtenances of a building, such as
<br />walls, wrought iron fences, evergreen landscape masses, and
<br />building facades, must form cohesive walls of enclosure along the
<br />street if necessary to ensure visual compatibility of the building to
<br />the buildings, squares, and places to which it is visually related.
