The county manager shall develop and make available a design manual which shall contain specific design and construction standards. Such standards shall be in accordance with the general performance standards contained in this article, and shall reflect, where applicable, generally accepted design and construction practices and techniques. The design manual shall contain sufficient flexibility in the application of specific standards so as to permit modifications of the standards where such modifications have been determined to be equal to or more appropriate to safe, orderly, and visually harmonious development due to particular conditions of a development site, and that such modifications continue to be in conformance with the general performance standards contained in this article. The design manual is on file in the county planning department.
