Architectural or design standards may be required on large projects or developments which could have a significant effect on the small rural agricultural character of Bear River City. These standards will be developed on a case by case basis by the City or its design review committee (as outlined in chapter 3 of this code) which will result in compatible building design and materials within the development and the respective zone. Guidelines should include consistency of roof pitch, roofing materials, siding materials, colors, porch details, window types and similar provisions. These guidelines should also be compatible with adjacent developments. Buildings should be designed to blend and harmonize with the existing environment rather than compete with it.
Development approval may be delayed a reasonable period of time while these standards are developed by the City.
