The seven member Design Review Board serves as custodian of the City's design policies. The Board reviews both public and private development proposals to ensure that Santa Rosa remains attractive and maintains a "sense of place" which the General Plan sets forth as "unique to Santa Rosa." The Design Review Board reviews design proposals in light of adopted design review policies set forth in the City's Design Review Guidelines. The Board reviews development proposals that have neighborhood compatibility issues and major developments that may have significance to the City's aesthetic character. For more information, see the Design Review brochure.
The Design Review Board meets on the 3rd Thursdays of each month in Room 7, Conference Room, City Hall, 100 Santa Rosa Avenue, Santa Rosa. Please note that the start time of each meeting varies. For additional information, please contact the Design Review Board Secretary, Patti Pacheco-Gregg at (707) 543-3232.
