Policy Would Broaden Review of Construction Projects
The Planning Commission will consider a proposed policy to require administrative design review of certain projects that are now exempt at its Wednesday, Jan. 18, meeting.
The policy is intended to provide a process where neighbors can comment on improvements that potentially impact adjacent property owners. The policy would impose Administrative Design Review for projects with a change in exterior materials that would cause a style change and new or relocated windows.
The new policy will result in a change in the way the Community Development Department currently processes development applications for exterior façade remodels, re-roof permits and new or relocated windows.
The policy requires City Council review as well.
