finds that there exists in this City conditions which
promote disharmony and reduce land and property valuesj and that the
lack of appro-priate standards for the design of new

contributes to these conditionsi and it further finds desirable
the provision of such standards for the protection and
enhancement of land and property values, for the promotion of
health, safety and general welfare in the

of architectural and site plan approval shall be to promote

welfarei to maintain the character and integrity of
neighborhoods by promoting high standards of development in harmony
therewithi to prevent the adverse effects of the erection,
addition or alterations to buildings, structures, signs, lighting
or landscaping by giving proper attention to siting, or
to unsightly, inappropriate or offensive appearance; and, to
determine compliance with this chapter, ordinances relating to
zoning and other
pertinent ordinances. (Ord. 4-74)17.96.030 Adoption of

declares its intent that this chapter shall be the enabling act
under which administrative rules, regulations and guidelines may
be formulated, adopted, amended, enforced and repealed with
the same force and effectiveness as if such administrative
rules,regulations and guidelines were set forth in this
chapterj the reason being that architectural concepts,
construction materials and aesthetic standards may vary from one
time period to another, from one neighborhood to another and
from one City administration to another so as to make
impracticable the inclusion in this chapter of such administrative
rules,regulations, and guidelines; provided, however, that
