§ 4-162. Review by design review commission.  


Latest version.
  • All plans and specifications so submitted with an application for a building permit shall be reviewed by the design review commission of the City of Southaven, Mississippi. The purpose of this review will be to ascertain whether or not the proposed structure or alteration is excessively similar or dissimilar to any other structure either then existing or for which a permit has been issued within one thousand (1,000) feet of the proposed site as measured from each lot line of the facility excluding streets, alleys and public rights-of-way. If the design review commission determines such structure or alteration is excessively similar or dissimilar and makes a specific finding that the structure or alteration as proposed would provoke one or more of the harmful effects as set forth in the preface to Ordinance No. 44 and that their finding is not based on personal preferences to taste, choice, architectural style or design, then the application for a building permit shall be denied.

(Ord. No. 44, § 3, 4-19-88; Ord. of 5-21-96, § II)
