MANAGE FOR CHANGE <br />Architectural Standards <br />A key component of the policy discussion for The COR has been architectural design standards. The <br />Planning Commission believes several recent projects fell short of community expectations. While <br />originally intended to be part of Phase I of The COR Development Plan Update, the Planning Commission <br />continues to refine these recommendations and will continue throughout Phase II and Phase III to bring <br />a quality recommendation forward with a full Plan Amendment. <br />The standards below are not an exhaustive list of current design requirements, yet a focus on key topics <br />that have been raised for future discussion. Upon final amendment, the City will prepare a side -by -side <br />comparison of all existing and proposed design requirements. The final version of this Interim <br />Development Plan will also include drawings/illustrations to illustrate the narrative being discussed. <br />Planning Commission Recommendation: <br />In the interim, the Planning Commission shall serve as <br />an ad -hoc architectural review committee. Projects shall <br />complete an architectural review prior to official Site <br />Plan Review. The Planning Commission reserves the <br />right to establish an ad -hoc sub -committee to serve as <br />this Architectural Review Committee. The Planning <br />Commission recommends that the City supplement the <br />Development Review Team with the services of a <br />licensed architect to help develop updated design <br />standards and review development proposals. This will <br />add value to the process, hopefully streamline review, <br />It is our mission to work together to responsibly grow our community, and to provide quality, cost-ef,Jective and efficient government services. <br />The COR Interim Development Plan Page 17 of 20 <br />
