Article 6: Development Review Standards

Part 1: Land Division Standards
Not applicable

Part 2: Site Plan Design Standards
Sec. 6.2.1 Applicability
 These standards shall be satisfied for the approval of all development subject to the
 provisions of this ordinance found in Article 3, Section 3.4.2(1) – Site Plan Review.

Sec. 6.2.2 Review Standards
 (a) Protection of Important Natural Features:
 The landscape, existing terrain and any significant trees and vegetation shall be preserved
 in their natural state insofar as practicable in keeping with the objectives of the underlying
 zoning district. Development and site disturbance shall preserve watercourses, wetlands,
 steep slopes, flood-prone areas, rock outcroppings, wildlife habitat and travel corridors,
 specimen trees and contiguous stands of forest, and other sensitive ecological and geological
 areas insofar as practicable in keeping with the objectives of the underlying zoning district.
 Site plans shall provide suitable buffers from any proposed site improvements, and maintain
 continuity and contiguousness of greenspace while allowing reasonable development in
 support of the overall intent of the zoning district. Where any natural features are proposed
 to be removed or the topography altered, special attention shall be given to replace or
 mitigate the loss of such features. Any development occurring on parcels containing
 significant natural areas identified in the city’s Open Space Protection Plan shall avoid
 disturbance to these natural areas and establish appropriate buffers that protect their
 natural functions.
 The property appears to be developed with plantings and mature trees. No changes to
 landscaping have been identified on the plans provided.
  (b) Topographical Alterations:

ZP-26-105 pg. 2 of 10

 Page 28 of 36
 Alteration to the natural contour of the site shall minimize grading, cut, and fill, and shall
 take necessary measures to protect against erosion and future instability. Any grade changes
 shall be in keeping with the general appearance of neighboring developed areas. In areas
 where more intense levels of development are encouraged, development should seek to take
 advantage of topographical changes to hide and/or blend new construction into the
 landscape. Proposed design and construction details for any cut and fill, or retaining walls
 over 3-feet in height, or any height along the lakeshore, shall be subject to review and
 approval by the city engineer before receiving approval of the site plan.
 Not Applicable.
 (c) Protection of Important Public Views:
 Distant terminal views of Lake Champlain and the mountains to the east and west, and
 important public and cultural landmarks, framed by public rights-of-way or viewed from
 public spaces shall be maintained through sensitive siting and design to the extent
 practicable. This shall not be construed to include views from exclusively private property.
 Not applicable.
  (d) Protection of Important Cultural Resources:
 Burlington’s architectural and cultural heritage shall be protected through sensitive and
 respectful redevelopment, rehabilitation, and infill. Archeological sites likely to yield
 information important to the city’s or the region’s pre-history or history shall be evaluated,
 documented, and avoided whenever feasible. Where the proposed development involves sites
 listed or eligible for listing on a state or national register of historic places, the applicant
 shall meet the applicable development and design standards pursuant to Sec. 5.4.8(b).
 The historical sites and structures survey notes that significant characteristics of the structure
 include the large picture window and casement windows, and the prominent front-facing
 gable. The gable recalls the traditional designs of the Colonial Revival and Minimal
 Traditional structures of the neighborhood. This merging of modern and historic elements
 characterizes the Prospect Park development. The picture and casement windows are
 proposed to remain, while the gable entryway is proposed to transition to a shed style
 roofline.
  (e) Supporting the Use of Renewable Energy Resources:
 Where feasible, the site plan should be so designed as to take advantage of the site’s inherent
 potential to utilize sources of renewable energy including direct sunlight, wind, or running
 water. The site plan should also incorporate site planning and landscaping decisions
 intended to minimize energy demand such as siting buildings to maximize solar access or the
 use of deciduous and coniferous trees to create shade and windbreak.
 Buildings should, where appropriate within the context of the neighborhood development
 pattern, maximize their solar exposure by being oriented to maximize natural light and heat
 gain during winter months, and to minimize casting shadows into ground floor living space
 of a building on an adjacent property.
 Nothing within the application will preclude the use of wind, solar, geothermal, or other
 renewable energy resource.

 Page 29 of 36
 Where a proposed development involves a known or suspected brownfield, the site plan shall
 indicate areas of known or suspected contamination, and the applicant shall identify
 completed or planned remediation necessary to support the intended use(s).

 The parcel is not listed on DEC’s Brownfield Sites. Not applicable.
  (g) Provide for nature's events:
 Special attention shall be accorded to stormwater runoff so that neighboring properties
 and/or the public stormwater drainage system are not adversely affected. All development
 and site disturbance shall follow applicable city and state erosion and stormwater
 management guidelines in accordance with the requirements of Art 5, Sec 5.5.3.
 Proposed stormwater infiltration areas are identified on the proposed plan. An Erosion
 Prevention and Sediment Control plan has not been submitted, but one is required.
 Design features which address the effects of rain, snow, and ice at building entrances, and
 to provisions for snow and ice removal or storage from circulation areas shall also be
 incorporated.
 The proposed change to the front entrance will provide more protection from inclement
 weather than the existing entryway. No changes to the parking area are proposed, it does not
 appear that there will be any adverse effects on snow storage on the property.
  (h) Building Location and Orientation:
 No changes to the building location or orientation are proposed. Not applicable.
  (i) Vehicular Access:
 Curb cuts shall be arranged and limited in number to reduce congestion and improve traffic
 safety. A secondary access point from side roads is encouraged where possible to improve
 traffic flow and safety along major streets. The width and radius of curb cuts should be kept
 to the minimum width necessary, and sight triangles and sufficient turnarounds for vehicles
 shall be provided to reduce the potential for accidents at points of egress.
 There are no proposed changes to the curb cut or parking lot. Not Applicable.
  (j) Pedestrian Access:
 Pedestrians shall be provided one or more direct and unobstructed paths between a public
 sidewalk and the primary building entrance. Well defined pedestrian routes shall be provided
 through parking areas to primary building access points and be designed to provide a
 physical separation between vehicles and pedestrians in a manner that minimizes conflicts
 and improves safety. Where sidewalks and driveways meet, the sidewalk shall be clearly
 marked by differentiated ground materials and/or pavement markings.
 The submitted site plan shows the proposed show there will be a walkway extension to
 provide a clear path from the driveway to the front entrance.
  (k) Accessibility for the Handicapped:
 Not applicable.
 (l) Parking and Circulation:

  (m) Landscaping, Fences and Retaining Walls:
 Landscaping shall be used to beautify the development site and to provide specific functions
 and benefits to the uses and buildings on the site. These include but are not limited to
 stormwater retention and erosion control, winter windbreaks and summer shade,
 recreational and habitat corridors, buffers and screening of parking areas, and creating
 privacy for and from adjacent property.
 Existing trees shall be retained and incorporated into a landscape plan to the extent possible,
 and existing trees to be retained shall be protected during construction in accordance with
 specifications provided by the city arborist. Contiguous green space, both within the site and
 with adjacent properties, should be provided on a site whenever possible and be designed to
 provide wildlife travel corridors and habitat preservation, as well as enabling recreational
 access. If open space is intended to be publicly accessible, it shall be designed to maximize
 accessibility for all individuals including the disabled, encourage social interaction, and
 facilitate ease of maintenance. Along the street edge, landscaping shall be used to provide a
 visual buffer into parking areas from the public street and reinforce the streetscape.
 The selection of plant materials and planting sites should create a sustainable landscape,
 and consideration shall be given to factors such as hardiness, salt tolerance, disease
 resistance, invasiveness, root and canopy spread, underground and overhead utilities, soil
 conditions, and microclimates. The use of native plant materials is encouraged, and the use
 of plants considered invasive by VT Agency of Agriculture shall be prohibited. For more
 information on sustainable landscapes, applicants are encouraged to consult Planting
 Sustainable Landscapes: A Guide for Plan Reviewers prepared for the Vermont Department
 of Forests Parks and Recreation by the Vermont Chapter of the American Society of
 Landscape Architects.
 New or replacement street trees shall be provided consistent with the city’s Street Tree
 Master Plan. All proposed street trees shall be selected and planted in accordance with
 specifications provided by the city arborist.
 Fences may be placed within the required setback along a property line, but shall be setback
 sufficiently to provide for the maintenance of both sides of the fence without entering onto
 the adjacent property and shall present a finished side to the adjoining property and public
 street. Fences placed within a clear sight triangle shall adhere to the standards of Sec. 5.2.6
 (c). Styles, materials, and dimensions of the proposed fence shall be compatible with the
 context of the neighborhood and the use of the property.
 Retaining walls greater than 5 feet tall shall incorporate textured surfaces, terracing, and/or
 vegetation to avoid long monotonous unarticulated expanses and to minimize adverse visual
 impacts to neighboring properties. As with fences, retaining wall styles, materials, and
 dimensions shall be compatible with the context of the neighborhood and use of the property

 No landscaping plan has been provided. The property appears to be vegetated with mature
 trees and other plantings.
  (n) Public Plazas and Open Space:
 Not applicable.
  (o) Outdoor Lighting:


ZP-26-105 pg. 5 of 10

 Page 31 of 36
 Where exterior lighting is proposed the applicant shall meet the lighting performance
 standards as per Sec 5.5.2.

 The application does not identify any proposed light fixtures. If any light fixtures are
 proposed, the applicant will need to provide fixture cut sheets and/or illumination levels.
 (p) Integrate infrastructure into the design:
 Exterior storage areas, machinery and equipment installations, service and loading areas,
 utility meters and structures, mailboxes, and similar accessory structures shall utilize
 setbacks, plantings, enclosures and other mitigation or screening methods to minimize their
 auditory and visual impact on the public street and neighboring properties to the extent
 practicable.
 Utility and service enclosures and screening shall be coordinated with the design of the
 principal building, and should be grouped in a service court away from public view. On-site
 utilities shall be place underground whenever practicable. Trash and recycling bins and
 dumpsters shall be located, within preferably, or behind buildings, enclosed on all four (4)
 sides to prevent blowing trash, and screened from public view.
 Any development involving the installation of machinery or equipment which emits heat,
 vapor, fumes, vibration, or noise shall minimize, insofar as practicable, any adverse impact
 on neighboring properties and the environment pursuant to the requirements of Article 5,
 Part 5 Performance Standards.
 The application does not identify any changes to the building infrastructure. If any changes
 are proposed, the applicant will need to provide more information.


PART 3: Architectural Design Standards
Sec. 6.3.1 Applicability.
 These standards are enacted and shall be satisfied for the approval of all development subject
 to the provisions of this ordinance found in Article 3, Section 3.4.2(b) – Design Review.
Sec. 6.3.2 Review Standards
 (a) Relate development to its environment:
 Proposed buildings and additions shall be appropriately scaled and proportioned for
 their function and with respect to the purpose of the zoning district. They should
 integrate harmoniously into the topography, and to the use, scale, and architectural
 details of existing buildings in the vicinity; however, such consideration shall not
 require building height to be more limited than otherwise allowed within an
 applicable zoning district or overlay zone per Article 4.
 The following shall be considered:
 1. Massing, Height and Scale:
 While architectural styles or materials may vary within a streetscape, proposed
 development should maintain an overall scale similar to that of surrounding
 buildings, or provide a sensitive transition, where appropriate, to development of a
 dissimilar scale.
 In low and medium residential districts, the height and massing of existing residential
 buildings should be carefully considered when evaluating the compatibility of
 additions and infill development; however, no modifications by the DRB shall be
ZP-26-105 pg. 6 of 10

 Page 32 of 36
 made to projects which otherwise limit the allowable Principal Structure footprint,
 height, and number of units per building otherwise permitted by Tables 4.4.5-1 and
 4.4.5-2.
 Buildings should maintain consistent massing and perceived building height at the
 street level, regardless of the overall bulk or height of the building. Buildings should
 maintain a relationship to the human scale through the use of architectural elements,
 variations of proportions and materials, and surface articulations. Large expanses
 of undifferentiated building wall along the public street or sidewalk shall be avoided.
 The apparent mass and scale of buildings shall be broken into smaller parts by
 articulating separate volumes reflecting existing patterns in the streetscape, and
 should be proportioned to appear more vertical than horizontal in order to avoid
 monotonous repetition. (See also (d) Provide an active and inviting street edge
 below.)

 The proposed change to the entryway will not result in a change to the building scale, or
 maximum height. It appears to simply be an aesthetic choice to alter the front entryway
 roofline.

 2. Roofs and Rooflines.
 New buildings should incorporate predominant roof forms and pitches within the
 existing neighborhood and appropriate to the context. Large expanses of
 undifferentiated roof forms shall be avoided. This can be achieved by incorporating
 dormers or some variation in the roof form to lessen the impact of the massing against
 the sky. While flat roofs can be a reasonable architectural solution, pitched roof
 forms and architectural elements that enhance the city’s skyline are strongly
 encouraged. Roof eaves, parapets, and cornices should be articulated as an
 architectural detail. Roof-top mechanicals shall be screened from view from the
 public street, and should be incorporated into and hidden within the roof structure
 whenever possible.
 Solar panels, light colored ballast or roof membranes, split roof clerestories, planted
 or “green” roof technologies (with a clearly articulated maintenance plan) and
 “gray water” collection are encouraged. Active rooftop uses are also encouraged
 to add to the visual complexity and activity of the city’s skyline, and afford public
 access to otherwise unseen views of the city and surrounding landscape.

 The proposed alteration will not drastically change the roofline, but the entryway will
 transition from a traditional gable to a rotated shed roof. While there isn’t this exact type of
 entryway in the neighborhood, neighboring buildings feature similar shed style rooflines,
 and a shed dormer.

 3. Building Openings
 Principal entrances shall be clearly defined and readily identifiable from a public
 street whether by a door, a canopy, porch, or other prominent architectural or
 landscape features. People with physical challenges should be able to use the same
 entrance as everyone-else and shall be provided an “accessible route” to the
 building. Attention shall also be accorded to design features which provide
 protection from the affects of rain, snow, and ice at building entrances, and to
 provisions for snow and ice removal or storage.
ZP-26-105 pg. 7 of 10

 Page 33 of 36
 Window openings shall maintain consistent patterns and proportions appropriate to
 the use. The window pattern should add variety and interest to the architecture, and
 be proportioned to appear more vertical than horizontal.
 Buildings placed on a side or rear property line where no setback is required shall
 contain neither doors nor windows along such façade so as not to restrict future
 development or re-development options of the adjacent property due to fire safety
 code restrictions. Otherwise they should be setback a minimum of 5-feet.
 The proposed front entrance will have a greater degree of protection from the elements than
 the current entrance. No changes to the number, location, or size of the window or entrances
 are proposed.
 (b) Protection of Important Architectural Resources:
 See 6.2.2 (d) above.
 (c) Protection of Important Public Views:
 There are no protected public views here. Not applicable.
  (d) Provide an active and inviting street edge:
 Building facades shall be varied along the street edge by the integration of
 architectural features, building materials, or physical step-backs of the façade along
 its length. Large expanses of undifferentiated building wall shall be avoided. This
 may be accomplished by incorporating fenestration patterns, bays, horizontal and
 vertical façade articulations, the rhythm of openings and prominent architectural
 features such as porches, patios, bays, articulated bases, stepping back an elevation
 relative to surrounding structures, and other street level details. The use of
 traditional facade components such as parapet caps, cornices, storefronts, awnings,
 canopies, transoms, kick plates, and recessed entries are highly encouraged. In areas
 where high volumes of pedestrian traffic are desired, the use of architectural recesses
 and articulations at the street-level are particularly important in order to facilitate
 the flow of pedestrian traffic

 The proposed change to the front entryway will not drastically alter the appearance from the
 street. A small section of the roofline will change, and the reduction in size and height of the
 front deck/porch will appear more inviting from the street edge.
 (e) Quality of materials:
 All development shall maximize the use of highly durable building materials that
 extend the life cycle of the building, and reduce maintenance, waste, and
 environmental impacts. Such materials are particularly important in certain highly
 trafficked locations such as along major streets, sidewalks, loading areas, and
 driveways. Efforts to incorporate the use of recycled content materials and building
 materials and products that are extracted and/or manufactured within the region are
 highly encouraged.
 Owners of historic structures are encouraged to consult with an architectural
 historian in order to determine the most appropriate repair, restoration or
 replacement of historic building materials as outlined by the requirements of Art 5,
 Sec. 5.4.8

ZP-26-105 pg. 8 of 10

 Page 34 of 36
 Exterior finish material information has been provided. The materials such as painted Cyprus
 siding, and timbertech decking and stairs appear to be acceptably durable.
 (f) Reduce energy utilization:
 All new construction shall meet the Guidelines for Energy Efficient Construction
 pursuant to the requirements of Article VI. Energy Conservation, Section 8 of the City
 of Burlington Code of Ordinances.
 Windows and doors will be required to meet Residential Building Energy Standards (RBES).
  (g) Make advertising features complementary to the site:
 Not applicable.
  (h) Integrate infrastructure into the building design:
 Exterior machinery and equipment installations, service and loading areas, utility
 meters and structures, mailboxes, and similar accessory features shall utilize
 setbacks, plantings, enclosures and other mitigation or screening methods to
 minimize their auditory and visual impact on the public street and neighboring
 properties.

 Rooftop mechanicals, including heating and cooling devices and elevator
 equipment, should be incorporated into the structure’s design, and shall be
 arranged to minimize their visibility from the street level. Such features, in
 excess of one foot in height, shall be either enclosed within the roof structure,
 outer building walls, or parapets, or designed so that they are integrated into the
 overall design and materials of the building. Where such rooftop features do not
 exceed ten percent (10%) of the total roof area, they may be considered
 “ornamental and symbolic features” pursuant to Sec. 5.2.7 for the purposes of
 measuring building height.

 Any development involving the installation of machinery or equipment which
 emits heat, vapor, fumes, vibration, or noise shall minimize any adverse impact on
 neighboring properties and the environment pursuant to the requirements of
 Article 5, Part 5 Performance Standards.

 No building infrastructure has been identified on the submitted plans. If any is proposed they
 will need to be depicted on elevations and site plans.
 (i) Make spaces secure and safe:
 Spaces shall be designed to facilitate building evacuation, accessibility by fire, police
 or other emergency personnel and equipment, and, to the extent feasible, provide for
 adequate and secure visibility for persons using and observing such spaces. Building
 entrances/entry points shall be visible and adequately lit, and intercom systems for
 multi-family housing should be incorporated where possible, to maximize personal
 safety.
 The application materials do not identify any proposed outdoor lighting fixtures. If any are
 proposed more information will need to be provided.
