Current through June 14, 2024
A. The following
							Site Design Standards are intended for use by those developing or modifying
							sites, parcels and/or premises located within the Park. Site Design Standards
							are a method and means of ensuring high quality development within the
							individual parcel while accomplishing the desired goals for the entire Park.
							Development should be located to preserve the natural features of the site and
							to avoid areas of environmental sensitivity.
B. The architectural design of new buildings
							in the Park is important in maintaining and enhancing the curb appeal,
							providing an aesthetically pleasing built environment, and establishing a sense
							of place. Buildings that are visible from Post Road, residential neighborhoods,
							and/or from major streets are particularly important in establishing the visual
							character in the Park. "Building Design Standards" are found in the Guidance
							Document. The Building Design Standards shall be incorporated into all
							Development Plans to the maximum extent practicable.
1. Setbacks and Height
a. Dimensional Regulations: Table 4 below
