First Montrose Commons – Setting

Setting

The setting of a house – how it is located on and sized to fit a lot – should also be compatible with the rest of the historic district. Most homes in First Montrose Commons are one or two stories in height. The distance between the house and the street (“setback”) varies. Garages or carports are detached, located behind the house at the rear half of the lot, and accessed via driveways.

When considering a building project within the First Montrose Commons Historic District, please refer to this chart. It shows which setting-related elements are compatible and which are not. Definitions of common terms can be found in the glossary.
