Staff invites BZAP to workshop on draft commercial design guidelines
Summary
Planning staff said the final edits to the city’s commercial design guidelines are nearly complete and invited BZAP, ARB and other commissions to a workshop in late September or early October to provide input; staff also flagged a possible 2027 program to phase out nonconforming signs.
City planning staff told the Board of Zoning and Planning that the commercial design-guidelines update is in final edits and that the board should expect an invitation to a review workshop later this fall.
“We are on the last the last edits for the commercial design guidelines. You all will see from me an invite probably the end of September, I'm hoping, or early October for a, sort of a workshop with BZAP, ARB, TPGC, Dream Public Garden Commission, and then a few other...,” staff said. Staff said the board’s input will be sought before a recommendation to city council because the document is a planning strategy. In discussion members and staff also raised the possibility of a future program to incentivize voluntary removal or replacement of existing nonconforming pole and ground-mounted signs over time.
Staff asked board members to be on the lookout for the workshop invitation and said staff will bring updates and a preferred timeline once the steering-committee edits are complete.
