§ 27-37. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • Zoning is the single most powerful legal enforcement of an overall urban concept, but alone it does not create beauty, aesthetic order or amenity. The purpose of this board is, therefore, to apply this Code and the comprehensive plan to preserve various elements of urban beauty and to require that new projects enhance existing values. Preservation of special local characteristics of site, aesthetic tradition, natural beauty, and redevelopment potential should be a high priority. The natural beauty of the beaches, the ocean, and the Intracoastal Waterway, for example, should only be enhanced. This board should act to promote the best interest of the community, in the effort to achieve these goals.
