The Downtown Design Advisory Board (DDAB) is a City Council appointed board consisting of five Boulder citizens, several of whom have professional experience in the areas of architecture, landscape architecture, urban design and community development.

•    DDAB Application 

As outlined in the  Downtown Urban Design Guidelines (3.13 MB), DDAB is responsible for reviewing all exterior projects and site features with a construction value of $10,000 or more in the Non-historic Area and the Interface Area.

Scheduling a design review with DDAB is mandatory and is the responsibility of the property owner, developer or their representative. In general, a meeting should be scheduled before a formal application is submitted to the city. Locally designated landmark buildings are the only exception to projects requiring DDAB review. These buildings are reviewed by the Landmarks Board (LB). In addition, LB may act in an advisory capacity to DDAB on issues related to projects that are of historic significance but are not officially landmarked.
