Subdivision I. In General
Sec 64-1100 — Purpose and intent.
The mayor and city council hereby declares it to be the purpose and intent of this division to recognize that

preserve and encourage this aesthetic that includes, but is not limited to, landscaping, buildings, and
parking,
mom A site's natural assets and its relationship to its immediate surroundings should have a significant influence
on the design. The Deerfield Plan is based on the physiographic features of the land, and each individual
development parcel or project within the Deerfield Plan should realize this point and incorporate existing site
WMA specific characteristics such as vegetation, topography, hydrology and views.
12
Topography, vegetation and hydrology are closely interrelated and have a direct effect on each other.

review all plans for development except detached single-family residential in the Deerfield Area for
compliance with the standards herein prior to the approval of a land disturbance permit, building permit or
demolition permit for both residential and nonresidential structures. The design review board shall only make
recommendations to the board of zoning appeals for primary variances.
