standards which clearly lay out the goals of the district. This process most typically <br />utilizes a Design Review Board which is established with a particular mission, and reports <br />to the Planning Commission or City Council. Such a review process would extend the <br />review period for development proposals in the design review district. <br />Pros: Architectural design review allows the City to accomplish specific goals <br />and objectives relating to architectural style. To a certain extent, and if <br />done well, it also permits a developer to know what will be expected of a <br />development. <br />Cons: Design review is time consuming and, typically, difficult to administer. <br />Design review boards must have some professional membership or staff <br />assistance to function effectively. <br />Apart from the control method(s) selected, the City must decide how to apply the controls. The <br />chosen controls can be written into the Zoning Ordinance performance standards for any or all of <br />the City's commercial districts, or they may be applied as an overlay to a certain area, regardless <br />of the zoning district lines. This decision would be dependent upon whether the City wishes to <br />regulate across the board, or only in a tightly drawn area. <br />We will be prepared to discuss the issues surrounding architectural control at the upcoming <br />Planning Commission meeting. <br />cc: Kathy Glanzer <br />Page 84 <br />
