Chapter 17.24 — ARCHITECTURAL REGULATIONS

The purpose of this Chapter is to ensure that the City of Jackson's goals for attaining high quality development that is sensitive to the City's unique character are met. Architectural regulations have been developed which will be used during the review of land use permit applications as additional criteria for project review.

The City Council shall adopt by resolution architectural regulations to be utilized in decision making by the appropriate review authority as specified in Chapter 17.70 , Application, Processing, and Fees, and the architectural regulations. The architectural regulations shall include criteria for all aspects of structure and site design. The architectural regulations shall be made available to assist property owners, architects, contractors, and realtors in complying with this Chapter.

• A. The provisions of this Chapter apply to all projects (additions, remodeling, relocation, or new construction) in the City of Jackson. The design elements of each project (including site design, architecture, landscaping, signs, parking design) will be reviewed on a comprehensive basis. Design guidelines and standards in other Chapters of this Development Code dealing with signs, landscaping, and parking shall also be addressed whenever applicable.

• B. The review authority may interpret the architectural regulations with some flexibility in their application to specific projects, as not all design criteria may be workable/appropriate for each project. In some circumstances, one standard may be relaxed to facilitate compliance with another standard determined by the review authority.
