As part of the development review process overseen by the Zoning Administrator, the Development Review Committee (DRC) provides design review feedback to City staff and applicants. The DRC is lead by the Deputy Zoning Administrator with participation by two consulting professional architects. The duties of the DRC are to review and provide design input on the architectural and site design of new development and major improvement projects that are subject to a Planning permit. Typical types of projects referred to the DRC include applications for new commercial, mixed-use, or multi-family residential development/redevelopment, and projects with major building facade and/or site modifications.
