SUBJECT: (Re)Appointments to the Design Review Board
MEETING DATE: June 23, 2008
RECOMMENDATION: (Re)appoint up to four members to the Design Review Board for new
terms starting on July 1, 2008.
BACKGROUND: There are four terms on the Design Review Board that will expire on June

applied to fill these new terms that will start on July 1, 2008.

and/or otherwise licensed or certified by their respective professional authorities. They shall

At least one of the professional members shall have a demonstrated expertise in urban design.
The non-professional members shall have an interest in, or knowledge of, architecture, urban
design, or historic preservation. No member shall serve as a member of the City Planning Board
or the Zoning Commission concurrently. The Board is generally advisory to the City Planning
Board, Board of Adjustment, and the City Commission, although it does make the final decisions
on some minor applications.
The Design Review Board currently has five applicants for four vacancies. Please review the
applications to ensure that applicants are qualified to fill one of these positions: landscape
architect, non-professional, architect, and architectural historian.
