Design guidelines
Design guidelines are written to give design guidance to developers, and to provide planning agencies with criteria for evaluating proposed developments and changes. They are usually written to address specific historic and conservation districts, and may supplement or replace more general community-wide design standards that are contained in the community's development code.
