The purpose and intent of the design review committee is to preserve and enhance, for the citizens and tourist of Solvang, the historical Danish and northern European architectural styles, historic assets and character of the town's commercial centers; to promote safe, functional and attractive development of business and commercial areas; to unify commercial (and industrial) properties; to protect and preserve the unique and cultural features within Solvang; and to protect commercial and residential property values by enhancing the city's appearance.  It is desirable that over time, as commercial and industrial development continues to seek out opportunities to advertise and promote goods and services, the design review committee help to preserve the city's streetscape and the inherent qualities of a livable community.
