As discussed at the May 29, 2014 City Council Study Session, all new buildings will go through a public review process that will include a neighborhood notification. Significant modifications to existing buildings will also go through a public review process. The review will include analysis of the project to confirm it complies with the development standards and design guidelines found within the Transit Corridors Plan, as well as environmental review.

The type of public review process will depend on the size and scope of the project. Every new building would require at least one public meeting with neighborhood notification. Larger projects could require several levels of review including Architectural Review Committee, Planning Commission, and City Council.  Agendas and additional information will be posted on the City’s website. The public is encouraged to attend and participate in these meetings. Development projects are often modified during the public review process as a result of resident feedback. Planning Commission Meetings and City Council Meetings are also televised on local Cable Channel 1 and available online after the meeting.  

Only if the proposed project is approved and reviewed for compliance with the Building Code can the applicant move forward with the process of construction. City staff will perform inspections to ensure the project is constructed according to the approved plans.
