• Design standards must be adopted• Procedures are individual to local community• 3 basic ways to adopt– Overlay district– Zone district– New section of zoning ordinance
• Need method to review project design• Need method to allow for creative design or
complex projects

Procedures: Existing Zoning District
• Useful where there is site-specific zoning, e.g., highway commercial
• Design requirements in that district only– Can adopt in more than one district
• Actions– Amend zoning ordinance text to
adopt design standards

Procedures: New Section of Ordinance• Design Standards incorporated into
zoning ordinance, similar to parking and signs
• Can be made applicable to:– Uses (commercial, multifamily)– Locations (should be mapped)– Zone districts (any or all)
• Actions– Amend zoning ordinance text to
adopt design standards

Procedures
• Site Plan Review– Goal: process to review design– How it Works
• Applicant submits site plan• Staff reviews and approves
• Alternative Compliance– Goal: process to consider non-traditional design– How it Works
• Applicant submits site plan• Staff reviews and planning commission approves

Committee Questions
• Should the design standards only be applicable to new development?
• If we address redevelopment, what will trigger the application of the standards (usually a combination of size, % increase in size, and/or change in assessed valuation)

Committee Questions
• Is there any reason to draft standards for single-family detached development?
• Are there communities that do not have either the resources or the ability to undertake design review? If so, how can we help?
• Should there be an advisory body to help with interpretation of the standards?
