DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE - AUTHORITY llO-lO 7/8/86 1 of 1
ADOPI~BY RESOLUTION NO, I1qTl~):
BACKGROUND
The City Council, by Ordinance 1771, established a Design Review Committee on
October 25, 1977. The Committee was to review site plans and architectural
drawings for the establishment, creation, expansion or allocation of certain
residential, commercial and industrial uses with the City.
PURPOSE
On January 29, 1986, following a joint tour of the City with members of the
Planning Commission and Design Review Committee, the City Council indicated
that they wished to clarify the role of the Design Review Committee with
respect to residential density and project design.
POLICY
1. The maximum numerical density specified for any zoning classification is
not automatically assured for projects which are subject to design review
control.
2. Based on planning and design principles contained in the City's design
manuals, actions of the Design Review Committee as they affect such items
as parking, open space, building, bulk, height and setback, physical
terrain and general site layout and configuration, may necessitate a
reduction in the maximum density specified by the underlying zone.
