(A) A Design Review Commission, hereinafter referred to as the “Commission,” is established to develop specific review procedures for the construction and development of all structures, including accessory structures having an influence upon the appearance and environment of the Town of Collierville, except for single family residential detached homes. Signage is not included in those structures reviewed by the Commission.
(B) It is the purpose of the Commission to ensure that proposed structures conform to proper design standards and the general character of the area in which they are located in order to accomplish the following objectives:
(1) Proper development of the Town and its existing environment in an effort to prevent the harmful effects of improper appearances of buildings erected in the Town and thus to promote the health, safety, comfort, general welfare and prosperity of the community;
(2) Promotion of the community’s attractiveness and functional utility as a place to live and to work;
(3) Conservation of property values and protection for the public investment within the Town;
(4) Maintenance of a balance among land uses through the implementation of appropriate community appearance standards to ensure that new development does not impair existing property values; and
(5) Protection of the special and unique architectural and educational characteristics located in the Town’s older sections.
