Design Concepts | ENVISION FRANKLIN 63 USES Primary Single-Family Residential, Duplexes, and Institutional (See Special Consideration) Secondary Multiplexes, Townhouses, and Accessory Dwellings If a proposed development includes townhouses or multiplex dwelling units, the townhouse and multiplex dwelling units should not exceed 50 percent of the total dwelling unit count of a development. FORM Building Placement Buildings and their main entrances should be oriented toward the street. Double frontage, reverse frontage, and flag lots are discouraged. Front-yard setbacks should be consistent along each block, but may vary between neighborhoods or between sections of neighborhoods. Side- and rear-yard setbacks of new buildings should be designed to maintain privacy for both new and existing neighboring properties. Building setbacks internal to a development may differ from the established setbacks in the area. Cottage court designs, where several cottages front a common open space, are also appropriate as a part of the overall development. Building Character New buildings along established streets should be designed to be compatible with the existing character along the street. A diverse mix of housing types and sizes are encouraged for new and infill developments. Dwellings within new developments should provide a mix of architectural styles and building materials that enhance the City’s character. Architecture should contain a rich blending of designs that complement each other yet not be overly repetitive. Accessory dwellings should fit in contextually to the principal dwelling. If designed with garages, duplexes, multiplexes, and townhouses should have rear-loaded garages accessed by alleys. MIXED RESIDENTIAL © OPTICOS DESIGN, INC
