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: 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 />and is in line with other professional services the City <br />employs in development review. The cost of these <br />services are the responsibility of the Developer. <br />Additional Discussion Points: * The intent of design requirements is to maintain a <br />consistent development look and acknowledge the <br />pride and planning that went into the vision of this <br />development.

Vinyl siding shall not be allowed. <br /> <br /> <br /> is our mission to work together to responsibly grow our community, and to provide quality, cost-effective and efficient government services. <br />It <br /> <br />The COR Interim Development Plan Page 18 of 21 <br /> <br /> <br />
