[quote=Anonymous]One way to protect the scale and character of a neighborhood from McMansionization is by seeking a special zonng overlay. (A friend calls it "Zuckermanization" after the builder Zuckerman Bros. that tries to stuff Potomac-style spec houses to replace tear-downs on modest-sized DC lots.) There are a number of them scattered around DC, and the comprehensive plan encouraged more of them. An overlay would address issues like height, size and scale, particularly where an historic district is not (or no longer) feasible. [/quote]
