10.7.2 General. The Planning Board shall follow the Canton Center Design Principles
10.7.2 General. The Planning Board shall follow the Canton Center Design Principles contained in this Section 10.7 and any applicable regulatory policies or guidelines that may be adopted. The Planning Board shall keep in mind that the design of buildings is determined by (1) the nature of the site, (2) the nature of the materials used, (3) the nature of the building itself and (4) the nature of the architect. Each building is more than a separate structure: it is part of the Canton Center Townscape. The proper use of scale and proportion has the unique capacity to unite the different parts of the Canton Center so that each building preserves its own identity, and yet each building blends into the whole. The expression of tradition and culture through the scale and proportions of buildings and the spaces between buildings defines the Canton Center Townscape.
