Dear Council Members:
The attached bill amends the Design Review provisions of the
Municipal Code in two respects. First, it designates the
Studebaker Corridor as a Development Design Area. This will bring
all projects affecting exterior work in the Studebaker Corridor
under the oversight of the Design Review Committee.
The second change is to expand the Design Review Committee from
seven members to nine.
These changes are requested in order to insure a high level of
design and construction within the redevelopment area in order to
protect the public investment that is being made.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this bill.
Sincerely,
Ann E. Kolata
