Architectural Review
An application for architectural review is required before commercial, industrial or public buildings or structures are erected, constructed, altered, remodeled or repainted a color different than that existing on the street, area or site. (Mandan Municipal Code - Chapter 111- Regulation of Building Construction).
The review process assures projects provide a desirable environment for their occupants, are compatible with the character of adjacent and surrounding developments, and are aesthetically of good composition, materials, textures and colors.
The Mandan Architectural Review Commission meets the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at 1 p.m. at City Hall. Applications for building projects must submitted to the Building Inspection Department no later than noon on the Wednesday prior to the scheduled meeting at which consideration is desired.
