8-13B-15: DESIGN STANDARDS FOR STRUCTURES AND SITE IMPROVEMENTS:

   A.   All structures and site improvements within Cartwright Ranch shall be consistent with Cartwright Ranch Comprehensive Plan objectives CR 8.3 and CR 12.2, and the following standards:

      1.   The visual bulk of hillside residential development should be reduced so structures do not standout prominently when seen from a distance.

      2.   Building form should conform to site topography and not overshadow natural site features.

      3.   Step structures with slope and cut into hillsides should be utilized to reduce visual bulk.

      4.   Building height should be minimized on highly visible ridge areas by avoiding multi-story houses that "skyline" on ridges and by locating residential buildings so as not to impact views near ridges.

      5.   No adjacent single-family detached home will be permitted to have the same plan, elevation, or color.

      6.   Homes in village lots shall provide rear entry garages where access is provided.

      7.   Wood shake roofs are prohibited.

      8.   On view lots, building materials and color schemes should blend with the natural landscape of earth tones and grassland vegetation but minimize fuel potential for wildfires.

      9.   Buildings, accessory structures, fences, etc., shall be oriented to minimize impact on views and adjacent uses.

      10.   Mechanical equipment on roofs, aboveground transformers, satellite dishes, active solar panels, utility equipment and loading, service and storage areas shall be screened from view from the streets, pathways, public areas, and adjacent uses.

      11.   Trash enclosures and maintenance structures shall be designed to be compatible in style, materials and colors with the main building and shall be of masonry type construction.
