 I don't think they design rules this way, but if by some miracle you manage to comply with every single rule, you wouldn't have to go in front of them. But that's not how they design it because they would like to know what you were building in their city. Sure. At that point, once you establish what that looks like, you go to your architect, they design you something that looks relatively similar. I've seen people design dissimilar things in neighborhoods. That's usually not appreciated.
