<hr /> <p><strong>Visual Resource Analysis for Proposed Developments in Scenic Areas</strong></p> <p><em>Context: This section offers guidelines for analyzing the visual impact of new developments within designated scenic areas.</em></p> <p>When a new development or land use is proposed within the Scenic Resource Overlay (SRO), it must undergo a thorough visual analysis. The application for this development must include:</p> <ul> <li>A narrative detailing the visual implications.</li> <li>Simulated photos or other visual representations showcasing the potential look of the development.</li> <li>A clear demarcation of the SRO boundaries.</li> <li>A comparison of potential visual impacts based on different design possibilities.</li> <li>A clear plan showcasing how the design aligns with the established standards of this segment.</li> </ul> <hr /> <p><strong>Understanding the Visual Impact on Scenic Corridors and Viewpoints</strong></p> <p><em>Context: This section emphasizes the need to evaluate how the proposed development might affect the surrounding scenic vistas.</em></p> <p>The visual resource analysis should make clear the visual effects of the new development on the neighboring scenic paths and viewpoints. Specifically, it should:</p> <ul> <li>Use accurate perspective illustrations to show which parts of the development will be visible from various locations on the scenic route or from vital viewing spots.</li> <li>If needed, provide multiple perspective visuals to portray how the development appears as one moves along the scenic path.</li> </ul> <hr /> <p><strong>Blending Development with Natural Settings</strong></p> <p><em>Context: This segment provides guidelines for ensuring that visible developments are harmoniously integrated into their natural surroundings.</em></p> <p>If the proposed development is visible from any designated path or viewpoint, the analysis must:</p> <ul> <li>Present, in the right perspective, the steps being taken to integrate the development seamlessly into its environment.</li> <li>Focus on the entire visual frame when viewing the structure from a specific vantage point. This encompasses the natural landscape, current vegetation, and nearby buildings.</li> <li>Ensure that certain features of the development, such as the building's size and shape, architectural details, materials used, colors, and proposed greenery for concealment, are in harmony with the surroundings.</li> </ul> <hr />
