III. DISCUSSION/INFORMATION
A. Downtown Urban Center Design Standards
The Downtown Urban Center Design Standards were originally adopted as part of
the Downtown Urban Center (DUC) zone by the City Council February 2007.
Subsequent amendments have been made to the standards to address the two
projects nearing completion, the One Main Building and Medical Office
Building/Parking Garage.
Now that these two projects have been constructed under the Downtown Urban
Center Design Standards, the Committee and staff discussed what elements of the
existing standards worked with the two projects and what elements did not work and
should be revised.
Staff will begin working on the draft changes to the Design Standards based on the
Committee's discussion and feedback.

There being no further business to come before the Downtown Redevelopment
Committee, Chair Norman adjourned the meeting at 5:15p.m.
