Establishing a design review board
Some residents would like the city to establish a design review board to maintain high standards for building designs within the city. Such a board could be established as an advisory body to offer advice from knowledgeable professionals or, at the other end of the spectrum, as a regulatory authority that would review and approve permits.
Half (51 percent) of the people interviewed would support a design review board, as long as it had no regulatory authority.
Fifteen percent of the people interviewed would support this type of board whether or not it had regulatory authority.
Five percent would support the board’s formation only if it had some regulatory authority.
One in five (21 percent) voters oppose the idea of any design review board, regardless of the authority the board was given.
