City of Orlando ify allowable window locations for two-story structures. Project Planner Elisabeth Dang, AICP Staff’s Recommendation: Approval of the request. Updated: July 28, 2015 A NALYSIS Accessory structures are common in residential zoning districts and include fences, decks, pools, and accessory buildings such as sheds, garages and accessory cottage dwellings (mother-in-law apartments). Accessory buildings are typically detached from the principal structure and have a smaller rear yard setback than the principal structure. Breezeway Requirements In some cases, an accessory building is connected to the principal building by a breezeway. The code requires breezeways to be open air in order to ensure that the accessory building does not become part of the principal structure. Doing so would effectively create a single larger building that may have a nonconforming rear setback. Setbacks and building separation requirements are intended to limit the bulk and mass of buildings on a lot. The purpose of this amendment is to clarify the breezeway requirements to ensure that the principal and accessory buildings remain separate, distinct structures with light and air able to pass between them. The proposed amendment prohibits asking for a variance to enclose a breezeway. Distance Between Buildings The current code states that an accessory building must be 5 feet from the principal building. The proposed code amendment contin- ues to allow a 5 foot separation for single story buildings, but adds a 10 foot separation for two-story accessory buildings. The addi- tional bulk of a two story accessory building means that additional space is needed to better differentiate it from the principal struc- ture. The proposed code amendment also clarifies that distance is measured from building wall to building wall, and that eaves may overhang the building wall so long as the distance between eaves is at least 3 feet. This issue is discussed in a Zoning Official Inter- pretation (LDC2006-00404 as revised on 9/12/2013) and this code amendment will supersede the interpretation. Page 2 LDC2015-00253—Accessory Structures Window Location For an accessory building, the current code places limitations on second story windows that face the rear yard. The proposed code amendment places the same limitations on second story windows that face an interior side yard (not facing a corner) unless the build- ing meets the principal structure rear yard setback or is at least 15 feet from the side property line. The purpose of this requirement is to reduce views into neighboring back yards and improve privacy for those neighbors. Setbacks for Two-Story Buildings Zoning Official Interpretation #LDC2014-00390 clarifies that the setback for a two story building (greater than 12 feet tall) applies for any multi-level structure in which portions are two stories, and for a building that has habitable rooftop space. This code amend- ment codifies the interpretation. Setbacks from Wetlands and Water Bodies The code requires a 50 foot setback for principal structures from wetlands and water bodies. Accessory structures have no setbacks other than the typical rear lot line requirements. However, in some cases, the rear lot line extends past the normal high water eleva- tion or wetland boundary. The proposed code amendment includes a 15 foot setback from the normal high water elevation or wetland boundary and a 12 foot height limit for accessory buildings. Pools, decks, fences and other accessory structures are not subject to this setback because they do not have the bulk and mass of an accessory building. A draft code amendment is attached, subject to final review and approval by the City Attorney’s Office. FINDINGS In review of the proposed LDC amendment it is found that: 1. The proposed Land Development Code amendment is consistent with the State Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 187, Florida Stat- utes). 2. The proposed Land Development Code amendment is consistent with the East Central Florida Strategic Regional Policy Plan. 3. The proposed Land Development Code amendment is consistent with the provisions of Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes. 4. The proposed Land Development Code amendment is consistent with the objectives and policies of the City’s adopted Growth Management Plan (GMP). RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendment to the Orlando Land Development Code. 5A. - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Sec. 58.900. - Building Permit Required. No accessory use or structure shall be developed without a Building Permit having been issued in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 65, Part 2C. Shall Follow Principal Use.

The current breezeway configuration was created in the early 1990s by demolishing a portion of the adjacent structure, the Nisqually Room and enlarging a small, existing breezeway. As a part of the same project, swooping canopies, neon lights, skylights, new paving, aluminum wall cladding, and ticket and concession spaces were constructed. Over the years, the breezeway space has deteriorated and the 1990s improvements have become worn and dated.

  • THE GILDED GARDEN Historic Ornament in the Landscape at Montgomery Place
    DED GA GIL RD E E H N T Historic Ornament in the Landscape at Montgomery Place May 25 – October 31, 2019 1 THE GILDED GARDEN Historic Ornament in the Landscape at Montgomery Place In 1841, the renowned American architect Alexander Jackson Davis (1803–92) was hired to redesign the Mansion House at Montgomery Place, as well as consult on the surrounding grounds. Between 1841 and 1844, Davis introduced the property owners Louise Livingston, her daughter Cora, and son-in-law Thomas Barton to Exhibition produced in partnership with and curated by landscape designer, editor, and writer Andrew Jackson Downing (1815–52), the Barbara Israel and her staff from Barbara Israel Garden Antiques seminal figure now regarded by historians as the father of American landscape architecture. Downing had learned practical planting know-how at his family’s nursery, but he was more than an expert on botanical species. He was also a Funding provided by the A. C. Israel Foundation and tastemaker of the highest order who did more to influence the way Americans Plymouth Hill Foundation designed their properties than anyone else before or since. Raised in Newburgh, Downing was intensely devoted to the Hudson Valley region and was dedicated to his family’s nursery business there. In the 1830s, Downing began to make a name for himself as a writer, and contributed multiple articles on horticulture to various periodicals. Downing’s enormously influential work,A Treatise on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening, Adapted to North America was published in 1841. It contained descriptions of the proper use of ornament, the importance of coherent design, use of native trees and plants, and his most important principle—that, when it came to designing a landscape, nature should be elevated and interpreted, not slavishly copied.

  • Architectural Styles/Types
    Architectural Findings Summary of Architectural Trends 1940‐70 National architectural trends are evident within the survey area. The breakdown of mid‐20th‐ century styles and building types in the Architectural Findings section gives more detail about the Dayton metropolitan area’s built environment and its place within national architectural developments. In American Architecture: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, Cyril Harris defines Modern architecture as “A loosely applied term, used since the late 19th century, for buildings, in any of number of styles, in which emphasis in design is placed on functionalism, rationalism, and up‐to‐date methods of construction; in contrast with architectural styles based on historical precedents and traditional ways of building. Often includes Art Deco, Art Moderne, Bauhaus, Contemporary style, International Style, Organic architecture, and Streamline Moderne.” (Harris 217) The debate over traditional styles versus those without historic precedent had been occurring within the architectural community since the late 19th century when Louis Sullivan declared that form should follow function and Frank Lloyd Wright argued for a purely American expression of design that eschewed European influence. In 1940, as America was about to enter the middle decades of the 20th century, architects battled over the merits of traditional versus modern design. Both the traditional Period Revival, or conservative styles, and the early 20th‐century Modern styles lingered into the 1940s. Period revival styles, popular for decades, could still be found on commercial, governmental, institutional, and residential buildings. Among these styles were the Colonial Revival and its multiple variations, the Tudor Revival, and the Neo‐Classical Revival. As the century progressed, the Colonial Revival in particular would remain popular, used as ornament for Cape Cod and Ranch houses, apartment buildings, and commercial buildings.

The Architectural Patterns include: • Massing, Scale & Proportion • Edge Patterns • Variable Setbacks & Yard Articulation • Garages & Accessory Buildings • Roof Form & Configuration • Building Exterior Treatment • Materials & Color Massing, Scale and Proportion Roof Form and Configuration Variable Setbacks & Yard Articulation Edge Patterns Building Exterior Treatment / Materials & Colors Floor Plans Garages & Accessory Structures Laguna Ridge Elk Grove, California C.1 Section C - Residential Architectural Patterns LAGUNA RIDGE LAGUNA RIDGE Design Guidelines Design Guidelines C.2 Massing, Scale and Proportion he massing of the home shall be organized as a whole, and not appear as a mixture of unrelated forms. TMassing of the forms are to be established by characteristics of the architectural style. The features and elements of design that contribute to the fabric of Laguna Ridge should at all times respond to human scale. Proportions and placement of each home’s architectural elements must be appropriately applied so as not to overwhelm the massing and scale of the home, homesite and neighborhood. The following techniques are appropriate means to achieve proper massing, scale and proportion: • Mixture of one and two story components within a two story home • Varied setbacks
