§ 46-103. Findings and modifications.

The architectural board shall not approve any application unless it finds that the purposes set forth in sections 42-1, 46-96, 46-100 and the guidelines in section 46-101 have been reasonably met. In certain situations, the architectural board may allow modifications or grant exceptions to the building height in accordance with section 46-925(a) and to the guidelines set forth in section 46-101 on the basis of compelling architectural merit, or where the strict application or adherence to established guidelines may be impractical or impossible due to site conditions or other circumstances beyond the control of the applicant.
