ORGANIZING PRINCIPLES FOR DESIGN GUIDELINES (08 AUG 24 DRAFT)


1.  ENHANCE, restore, and preserve the forest in all improvement projects: private, public, and otherwise.


2. SUBORDINATE every built structure to the character and continuity of the forest, natural environment, and to the natural features of its own site.


3. FIT every built structure within its neighborhood context.


4. RETAIN and build upon Carmel’s established architectural heritage.


5. DESIGN every built structure with modesty and restraint.


6. DETAIL every property authentically and consistently.
