The results of the sense-of-the-neighborhood poll concerning potential ND-1 Standards are in and reported below. In addition, several property owners shared useful comments and suggestions (especially on the FAR issue) which will be considered as the proposed standards are refined and Picadome’s ND-1 application is developed. We thank all who participated in the poll and look forward to working with everyone as this effort moves forward.
The approval percentages for each standard are as follows:
After 2+ years of neighborhood data collection and discussion to document Picadome’s unique character and determine which, if any, elements of it we want to preserve in the future, it is time to decide!
The PNA ND-1 Committee is holding an informal poll to get a sense of the neighborhood about the proposed ND-1 design standards prior to submission to the Planning Commission for consideration. The Planning Commission will hold a formal vote with ballots mailed to each property owner in the proposed ND-1 district before acting on Picadome’s ND application.

Dear Picadome Property Owners,
After 2+ years of neighborhood data collection and discussion to document Picadome’s unique character and determine which, if any, elements of it we want to preserve in the future, it is time to decide!
The ND-1 Design Standards below will apply only to future renovation, expansion and new construction in Picadome. They are based upon an architectural survey conducted by 19 neighbors of 588 residences on 17 Picadome streets; Property Valuation Administrator’s (PVA) office lot and building records; Google Maps, and various historical documents. The neighborhood information gathered was shared and discussed among Picadome residents during 8 general PNA meetings, 13 small group and street-level meetings, innumerable conversations among neighbors, and online postings for comment.
Picadome residents indicate they want to maintain the neighborhood’s traditional character while encouraging compatible renovation, expansion, and change. The proposed Design Standards are intended to do just that.
PLEASE participate in the next two steps of the Picadome ND-1 process by attending the presentation of the proposed standards and then by voting.
