Except in specific situations noted above, these standards shall apply equally to all projects in the Old Town design district, including the West Valley View area. Applicants seeking a variance from these standards must demonstrate to the review body that compliance would result in an unnecessary and unavoidable hardship and that there is demonstrable evidence the alternative design accomplishes the purpose of the Old Town design district in a manner that is equal or superior to a proposal designed under the standards herein. Variances from the standards will not be allowed unless such hardship is adequately demonstrated and proven by the applicant. The variance process is provided in Chapter 18.160 TMC.

The Old Town design standards shall supersede the applicable standards in Chapter 18.95 TMC when applied to new construction in the Old Town design district. [Ord. 851 § 1; Ord. 817 § 8-3K.160, 2006.]
