In considering whether to recommend approval or disapproval of an application for a certificate of appropriateness for new construction, additions or alterations in a river improvement overlay district, the historic and design review commission shall be guided by the compatibility standards set forth below. In making recommendations affecting new buildings or structures which will have more than one (1) important facade, such as those which will face both a street and the river or creek, the historic and design review commission shall consider the visual compatibility standards below with respect to each facade.

The application shall be reviewed for conformance to the general rules and principles contained in this chapter and the applicable guidelines. Applications should be approved if in general conformance with the this chapter and the applicable guidelines but denial of an application by the city manager or the city manager's designee may be based on inconsistency or nonconformance with the approved guidelines.
