Aesthetic controls represent a specific instance of a general problem faced by planners: balancing the interests of an individual (in altering the physical environment they inhabit) against the interests of the collective (in preserving the visual quality of cities). In this article, the authors discuss the use of aesthetic controls in the United States and review the case for and against restricting architectural expression. The authors then examine two questions: (1) What is the rationale for protecting such expression and (2) to what extent is this protection warranted. They find two very strong but conflicting interests: one in controlling design expression and the other in not doing so. How might this conflict be resolved? The authors propose a middle ground that is characterized by four criteria: (1) a clearly articulated and demonstrable public interest, (2) demonstrable links to the stated intent, (3) application early in the design or decision process, and (4) allowing and encouraging a variety of acceptable decisions. |
