Exterior Design Review Guidelines for One or Two Family
Dwellings |
* Excerpt from Village Code Section 330-2 |
*Exterior
design
review:
The purpose of this article is to preserve and promote the character and
appearance of the
Village
of Rockville Centre
through
exterior
design
review. Buildings and structures that are visually offensive
or inappropriate due to poor exterior design quality mar the
appearance of the Village, impair the use, enjoyment and
desirability and reduce the values of properties. In addition, such
buildings and structures are detrimental to the character of the
neighborhoods and prevent the most appropriate development and
utilization of land, and therefore adversely affect the functioning,
economic stability, prosperity, health, safety and general welfare
of the entire community. The purpose also is to ensure that the
aesthetic quality of such design conforms to the character of the
neighborhood. |
