WHAT IF ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS EXTEND BEYOND THE BUILDING FRONT?
Where architectural elements project forward of the building front, they will be included in the reviewable area if
they are attached to the building wall. For instance, the porch shown below on the corner lot will be included in
review because it is attached to the contributing main building. However, the stairs shown on the interior lot below
are not reviewable because they are not attached to the building wall.
