THe Guild was requested by the 19th RA to produce the covenants to be applied to the renewed sim Locus Amoenus ... here are the proposed covenants ....
LOCUS AMOENUS (Sim-wide covenant, DRAFT)
Locus Amoenus is inspired by and modeled after rural Tuscany reference images located here: with a large area of surrounding countryside.
Building style that is consistent with those of rural, timeless, pre-modern Tuscany; from post-Roman (this means Roman builds can exist, but would be ‘old’ rather than new) up to and including pre-WW1 (1914).
All vending machines in the commercial areas will be inside of buildings, preserving the look of the building (not filling up exterior archways). All exterior signage must be consistent with the theme. Any permanent posters on the exteriors must be consistent in size and style with the sim theme.
Harbour area (fishing village) parcels are restricted to the original buildings (pre-fabs) created for them, or rebuilds as approved by the Chancellor.
It is a double-prim sim, which means that a 512 m2 parcel has 234 prims allotted instead of the usual 117.
Locus Amoenus has zones which are used to define the expected appearance of builds and/or different administration of land.
The Zones are: H (Harbour and beachfront), F (Fishing village) and C (Countryside). Plots are identified by a string P.X, corresponding to the number of the plot. Terraforming is allowed within a distance of +2/-2 meters.
All the buildings exteriors must be built in pre-industrial materials, namely:
Structural elements can be stone, wood, terracotta, clay, brick or marble
Roofing elements are terracotta, slate and wood.
Flooring elements can be terracotta, marble, stone, brick, mosaic tile or wood
Wall elements can be stone, clay, brick, terracotta, stucco or wood.
Door and window elements can be wood or metals. Large panes of glass must be partitioned by appropriate framing.
Buildings will have no full bright components. Glow is kept to a minimum and used for subtle effects only.
Typologies
Zone H: (Harbour and beachfront). Commercial and residential. Buildings in this zone should resemble styles found in central Italy. Structures may be no taller than 20 meters.
Zone C: (Countryside). Residential only. Commercial activity is prohibited. Structures may be no taller than 20m. Buildings in this zone should resemble styles found in rural central Italy. 20% of the plot of land will be open space, forested, pond, garden or agriculture. There must be a minimum of 3 trees per 1024m2 of plot area.
Zone F: (Fishing Village). Mixed commercial and residential, small in scale, restricted to the original buildings (pre-fabs) created for them, or rebuilds as specifically approved by the Chancellor.
Skyboxes begin at 1000 meters and up to remove visual pollution from the ground for those with long draw distances.
I'm sure there'll be comments
