When considering the required findings set forth in Section 5-146, the ARB and, where applicable, the Professional Review Panel shall, to the extent they are relevant to the application at issue, examine the following factors:

A. The design for the proposed structure recognizing that the design and style should be in general conformity with the style and design of surrounding structures but giving due consideration for appropriate diversity and individual taste;

B. The building materials for the proposed structure recognizing that the exterior facade of a structure, including siding, roofing material, stone and brick, should be in keeping with the surrounding properties’ quality, construction and design so that the proposed structure does not adversely affect the property values of adjoining properties;

C. The height of the proposed structure recognizing that while the proposed structure may be within allowable height limitations, the height of the structure should bear a reasonable relationship to the neighborhood in which it is located but giving due consideration to allow for reasonable and appropriate development in the neighborhood;

D. The location of the proposed structure on the lot recognizing that the City contains many uniquely shaped lots that on occasion may require relocation of the proposed structure to ensure proper relationship of a proposed structure to structures on adjoining lots;

E. The overall size of the proposed structure recognizing that while a proposed structure may be within allowable setback limitations and may meet minimum or maximum size or lot coverage requirements, the proposed structure may be too massive, too small or otherwise disproportionate for the lot or overall neighborhood in which it is proposed even after allowing for reasonable and appropriate development in the neighborhood;

F. The proposed lot coverage, though equal to or less than the applicable maximum lot coverage percentage set forth in Section 5-123, is not appropriate at the proposed location, in light of all the factors to be examined.

G. Other factors the ARB and/or the Professional Review Panel is required to consider under these Zoning Regulations together with such other factors the ARB and/or the Professional Review Panel deems appropriate for consideration under the circumstances. [Ord. 1421, 05-11-15.]
