DESIGN REVIEW BOARD PROCESS
With the recent influx of Design Review applications, resulting in longer Design Review Board
(DRB) agendas, the Administration has taken steps to prevent the overly long meetings which
sometimes have lasted up until 2:00 A.M. In this regard, monthly agendas which are deemed by
staff to be lengthy have been divided into two (2) meetings; this has been very effective in terms of
allowing Board meetings to conclude at a reasonable time, as well as being a preventive measure to
ensure that Board members do not become exhausted, possibly affecting their decisions.
The February and March agendas of the DRB were divided into two (2) meetings; the April land
May agendas of the Board, while somewhat lengthy, will each be able to be accommodated by one
(1) meeting, hopefully ending at a reasonable hour. It is anticipated that once all of the non-
contbrming projects submitted last December get through the DRB process, the monthly agendas
2?;fd will return to a more manageable size.
