  3. Procedures Overview • 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

  4. Procedures: Overlay District • Placed “on top” of existing zoning • Adds new standards to specific locations • Usually used downtown, corridors, interchanges • Actions • Amend zoning ordinance to adopt overlay requirements • Amend zoning map (rezone property) to place overlay on existing districts

  5. 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 NZIC Phase 1 Plan

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. 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)

  9. 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?

  10. Next Steps • Steve – how did you decide to break-up the substantive standards? Please describe here
