When a new building is sited adjacent to an existing building(s) or structure(s), the new <br /> building facade should be no more than one story higher than the adjacent building(s) or <br /> structure(s). <br /> Bultding should appear similar <br /> in helght to tradtional <br /> existing structures <br /> i <br /> • The scale of a neighborhood takes precedence over the scale of an individual <br /> structure. <br /> • The prevalent pedestrian scale of Pahoa should be maintained. <br /> • Canopies are strongly recommended to reduce a structure's vertical emphasis and <br /> encourage a pedestrian environment. <br /> • The contextual scale of large, new buildings should be reduced by using vertical <br /> divisions and stepped roof lines or other architectural features that provide a more <br /> compatible appearance. <br /> • Windows, doors, and other architectural details should be used to reduce the <br /> apparent mass of larger structures. <br /> • The mass and facades of large new buildings should be divided into several, <br /> smaller "storefront" to reduce the building's apparent scale <br /> Setback <br /> Definition: The distance between the building and a reference line, usually a sidewalk or <br /> property- line is the setback. <br /> The lack of a setback is a character-defining feature of Pahoa's traditional streetscape. It <br /> creates a solid architectural edge that defines and unifies the street. Pahoa's architectural <br /> character is compromised when vacant lots and parking areas interrupt the continuous <br /> wall of buildings. <br /> Se back <br /> Yes No <br /> 11 � Page <br />
