                   DECISION MAKING

                   Every project is unique and requires some decisions to be
                   made on a case-by-case basis. While some provisions of the
                   guidelines include quantitative standards, most require qualitative
                   interpretation. If the Applicant chooses to deviate from a design
                   guideline in order to achieve an attractive, unique design,
                   such a request will be given consideration from the Zoning
                   Administrator. The Zoning Administrator has the latitude to
                   interpret the guidelines and to permit flexibility so long as the
                   proposed project meets the intent of the guidelines herein.
