Direct planning staff to seek proposals for new citywide design standards
In Plain English
The city currently lacks formal design standards that guide how new buildings and developments should look. Planning staff will ask consulting firms to submit proposals for creating these standards. If approved, the standards would establish rules for building materials, colors, landscaping, and architectural styles throughout the city.
