NNECAPA: Architectural Review & Regulations for Planners & Planning Board

Join NNECAPA for the third in their webinar series: Architectural Review & Regulations for Planners & Planning Board

The quality of new buildings has a substantial impact upon the character of our communities. Unfortunately, few professional planners and planning board members are comfortable discussing the design of proposed new structures because: a) they know little about architecture; b) there are limited, if any, provisions in their regulations; and c) they mistakenly assume that architectural review relies mainly upon personal taste. To the contrary, there are timeless principles of good design, rooted in traditional architecture (There is a place for modernist approaches, as well), that you can readily apply to the various components of a building to enhance the appearance of a project.  This presentation will provide the basics for talking about architecture and for crafting and implementing architectural regulations as part of site plan review.  Michael Behrendt, Durham Town Planner
