§ 4-404. Objectives.

The objectives governing development of the Design Manual are:

(1) to provide clear guidance for the design of residential, commercial, and mixed use development throughout the City;

(2) to facilitate the process for design review and approval of structures within the City's development review process;

(3) to ensure that the public realm is as thoroughly considered and articulated as principal structures;

(4) to articulate spatial relationships, provide image, develop sense of place, and improve the aesthetics of the built environment; and

(5) to provide flexibility and encourage creative solutions to meet the intents and purposes of the Design Manual.
