Today’s Thought….
“We shape our buildings; thereafter, they shape us.”
Winston Churchill

Land Use Plan (1977)
To guide further commercial development along US 19 and to improve the appearance of existing as well as future development along this path
![Page 7: PUBLIC WORKSHOP III THURSDAY APRIL, 22 2010 MAGGIE VALLEY TOWN HALL Town of Maggie Valley Appearance Standards & Design Review](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051019/56649ea35503460f94ba806b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Driving Miss Maggie (Comprehensive Plan 2004)
Need to create an image for Maggie Valley
Develop architectural review standards…require architectural conformity for commercial buildings as a minimum
Preserve mountain architectural heritage
Revise landscape ordinance for commercial districts

Land Use Plan (2007)
Short Term Goal Add basic aesthetic/appearance or
design standards into the ordinance. The Town should decide if there is a specific set of appearance characteristics that they would like to see for non-residential development. A broad set of guidelines could be included in the ordinance to move toward a specific “look.”

Why Now?
Bad Economy, Good Timing?Existing businesses have already
embraced proposed theme conceptsThe Town has embraced the vision
design criteria i.e. the Police Department, Festival Ground Stage and ABC Store
Protects, Encourages and EnhancesTown Pride

MOUNTAIN VERNACULAR IS NOT A STYLE OF ARCHITECTURE. IT CANNOT BE DEFINED IN SIMPLE TERMS OR ACHIEVED BY FOLLOWING A CERTAIN SET
OF STRICT DESIGN REQUIREMENTS. MOUNTAIN VERNACULAR IS AS MUCH OF A PROCESS AS IT IS AN
END PRODUCT. IT IS ALSO A PHILOSOPHY ABOUT DESIGN, A PHILOSOPHY THAT PUTS AND EMPHASIS ON THOROUGH CONSIDERATION OF ALL ELEMENTS
OF THE PROJECT. RATHER THAN AN ATTEMPT TO STIFLE GOOD DESIGN IT IS MEANT TO INSPIRE THE
HIGHEST QUALITY DESIGN

Color Building Height
Perceived to be overly bureaucratic for minor color change
Planning Director now has limited approval authority if color is a recognized earth tone
If Planning Director is uncomfortable with color choice then formal CUP process will begin (pp 10-11)
Previously capped at 45 feet although “inferred” floodplain exceptions
Now explicitly cites 55 feet maximum building height if located in floodplain (p. 8)
Changes Since October 6 , 2009
