Permits development in accordance with land-use zoning that respects site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design and does not adversely affect townscape character. The porch was assessed as compliant due to its replication of existing materials and features, modest protrusion, and lack of harm to the street scene in this residential area.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
