That second example isn't so bad.

This should all be addressed, a X said, with form-based codes. The problem in the first example isn't the fact that it is tall-- the problem is that it doesn't blend well with the form of the original building. If it were a two-story brick pop-up that fit cleanly onto the original house, I wouldn't have a complaint.

The thing is that the specifications should be clear, allowing an architect and contractor to draw up the plans for a pop-up using the guidelines in a "by right" manner, and get started on them.

The purpose of a review board should be to make sure the guidelines are being followed, not to offer their own architectural input or that of "the community."
