Goal 3.5 of the Urban <br />Design Element Policy Plan is to encourage residential <br />alterations that are consistent with the adjacent uses and <br />responsive to the street classification of the neighborhood. <br />Once the overall height is lowered, the style and design of <br />the existing wall at 510 West Aurora Avenue will be <br />consistent in both style and design of the other existing <br />fences in the neighborhood. <br />D.
