We are hoping to meet with the Historic Subcommittee as soon as we have satisfied our clients. I have been trying to identify the appropriate front yard setback for our New Construction on the site where the original house burned. Article 2.3.B Average Front Yard Setback (of Subchapter F: Residential Design and Compatibility Standards) allows us to average the 4 structures that are closest to our property on the same side of the road, (some of which are not contributing structures to the Smoot/Terrace Park Local Historic District); while the Design Guidelines for New Construction in the Smoot/Terrace Park HD Design Standards/Preservation Plan allows: '2. Setbacks for new construction of a new principal building shall be consistent with setbacks the district’s contributing houses by taking the average of the existing setbacks of contributing houses on the same block face, or by aligning with the setback of one adjacent contributing house. This may allow setbacks that are shallower than the base zoning.’ Would you please advise me as to which Front Yard setback would take precedent?

We will check in closer to the end of the month. Thanks, Hi y’all, sorry again for the delay. The Smoot/Terrace Park Design Standards control when they conflict with other code provisions.
