The Development Review Board consists of a three member subset of the Planning Commission and are appointed by the Planning Commission to provide advice on new development projects and some exterior changes to existing buildings. Applications are evaluated based on our General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Design Guidelines, policies and criteria, with the goal of having new projects harmonize with the natural environment and surrounding area. The Board is advisory, with final permit decisions made by the Planning Division staff, Zoning Administrator, Planning Commission or City Council, depending on the complexity of the project. The Design Review Board welcomes input from members of the public on design issues. Meetings are held monthly, usually on the second Monday of the month immediately following the Planning Commission meetings which begin at 7:00 pm in the City Council chambers.
