The City does have downtown design guidelines for the downtown area of the <br /> City, but not the entire City. The EDA discussed this topic of city wide design guidelines for <br /> retail architecture. <br /> The CD Director stated that this is a good idea because then developers will start at the level <br /> of architecture that the City desires and not have to work towards them. Miron agreed. Bever <br /> stated that he thinks this is important especially at the entrances of the City. Granger stated <br /> that the retail architecture in Hugo does set an image for the City. <br /> Miron made a motion, seconded by Granger to recommend to the City Council to create <br /> design guidelines for retail and office buildings for the entire City. <br /> All aye.
