Mayor Johnson stated appearance is more important than material; wood should not have to be required for a Victorian if another material looks the same. The Planning Services Manager continued the presentation. Mayor Johnson inquired whether an ugly aluminum awning could be replaced with the same. The Planning Services Manager responded the ordinance would require that a new aluminum awning matches the existing awning and be consistent with the criteria.
