DRB Bylaws

Members of the Design Review Board assess proposed development projects to determine whether they conform to the policies of the City's General Plan, Certified Local Coastal Program, Zoning Standards, and Design Review Criteria specified in the Municipal Code Section 25.05.040(H). The Design Review Board (also called the Board of Adjustment) plays a large role in protecting the village atmosphere of the City. Members of the Design Review Board serve two-year terms.

The Design Review Board generally convenes on the second and fourth Thursday of each month at 5:00 p.m.
