Professional Review Panel
The City Council approved changes to the City’s zoning ordinances regarding the Architectural Review Board. The ordinance revision creates a Professional Review Panel that will review Substantial Construction projects (other than pools and sport courts) and make a staff recommendation to the ARB on whether the ARB should approve, approve with stipulations, or deny the project. The ARB must agree with the Panel’s recommendation or provide sufficient justification for not following the recommendation. The Professional Review Panel will consist of the City Architect, City Administrator, City Planner, and two other consulting professional architects/ designers. The submittal deadline for Substantial Construction (other than pools and sport courts) is seven (7) weeks before the ARB meeting date. The meeting with the Professional Review Panel will be scheduled once an official submittal of the project has been made and will take place before the ARB hearing of the project which usually takes place 5-6 weeks after the official submittal of the project. There is a non-refundable fee of $2,000 that must be paid when the project is submitted to City Hall. The fee to appear before the Professional Review Panel will not be applied toward the building permit fee. The meeting with the Professional Review Panel does not take the place of the Pre-Application Conference required for new homes. The ARB meeting will remain the public hearing where neighbors and interested parties are allowed to comment and an approval or denial of the project is made. The following architects have been chosen to be part of the Professional Review Panel. Mary Sullivan DeacyMary is the principal of Summit Architecture which was founded in 2004.
