The objective design standards discussion was led by Opticos Design, Inc., the consultant selected to prepare objective design standards for the DPP.
Staff Recommendation - Staff recommended the Planning Commission and Downtown Subcommittee offer a recommendation to the City Council regarding maximum density and height requirements for the purposes of the Program EIR project description.
