Design Review Committee

The Design Review Committee is established to uphold community aesthetics. Recognizing that the inclusion of specific aesthetic development standards is impracticable due to the variable nature of architectural concepts, construction materials and aesthetic goals from one time period to another and from one neighborhood to another, it is in the public interest to establish an authority for project review. Among the key responsibilities of the Committee is evaluation of building modifications in the City's historic districts in support of the historic preservation goals and policies of the General Plan, and to ensure conformance with federal and local standards.
