JPEG is the wrong way to go. Anytime you export to a raster image, you are going to loose quility. The best bet for exporting to a file that you can share is .dwf or .pdf. .dwf is an Autodesk file type that Revit is ready to use. The problem is that you have to convince the recipiant to download and use the .dwf viewer. .pdf is much more common and accepted, but you need a third party .pdf writer in order to plot to this format. I use .pdf Xchange. They offer a free version that includes a plot stamp saying it is a trial version. The pro version only cost $50 U.S.. AutoCAD has a .pdf writer built in. I would think it is only a matter of time before Revit includes its own .pdf writer, as well.
Ask the Planning dept. if they will except .dwf. They may already use it.
Hope this helps

p.s. to export to a .dwf go to the File menu and down to Export DWF then choose 2D DWF, and select the sheets that you want to export. FYI 3D DWF exports a model that others can look at for free.

Is your sheet A3 3d or 2d? If it's 2d, you don't happen to have a pdf printer driver do you? If it's 3d, do yu have another program such as ADT with Viz or 3ds max?
This is what I'm thinking. If you have a sheet and you're trying to get quality out of it, you're jpeg to accomodate is going to be a huge file. A pdf file will be maybe 200 kb max and you will have unsurpassed quality. A 3d drawing you can get super quality from max compared to the renderer in Revit and have a reasonable size jpeg to boot (maybe 2 mb's)
Are you giving them the file? Or sheets?
Edit: Hehe posting at the same time. I agree totally with ArchWestCY. There are free pdf drivers out there. You have to look for them. I used to use FoxIt pdf editor before I got Acrobat Pro. You might be able to get a trial download from adobe without any stamping. Might want to check them out first.
