General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects the site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design and landscaping; does not adversely affect the character of the surrounding landscape or townscape; and does not adversely affect amenity of local residents or locality character.
