Effective elevation design plans replace theseA large area within each parcel is often dedicated tovehicular parking and circulation needs. In preparing anelevation design plan, present and proposed drivewayand parking requirements must be considered. Toaccommodate new architectural and landscape screening,alternatives to existing driveway and parking layouts maybe appropriate. Many historic parcels in Coastal Mississippifeature driveways with side yard alignments in closeproximity to the building. Depending upon the extentof elevation proposed and existing side-yard depth, anapplicant may find that the configuration of an existingdriveway and parking may be affected.Whether a limitedKEY PRESERVATION GOAL:or significant• Minimize changes toelevation change parking and circulationis proposedthat affect historic setting.for an historicproperty, the existing circulation features may requirereconfiguration to provide improved entrance stairsystems, terrain modification, or landscape screening.Should the elevation design include a new unoccupiedsub-storey, the applicant should evaluate measures tomitigate the potentially significant visual and historicimpacts associated with an increase in the first floorelevation.
