What is the purpose of the DDAB review?

The purpose of the DDAB review is to identify design issues and provide recommendations and advice to the applicant on their design proposal relative to the  Downtown Urban Design Guidelines (3.13 MB). DDAB design review is a one-time review process. However, an applicant may return voluntarily for design critiques as often as necessary.

Am I required to go before DDAB?

Project review is mandatory. However, compliance with design recommendations that result from the DDAB review is voluntary.

What results from my meeting with DDAB?

Upon completion of a DDAB review, staff notifies Planning & Development Services (P&DS) that the applicant has fulfilled the mandatory design review. In the case of projects requiring a site review, DDAB submits recommendations to P&DS that are incorporated in a staff memorandum for further review (including approval or denial) by P&DS staff, Planning Board or City Council, depending upon the nature of the application.

When do I have to turn in my application and materials?

Applications and materials must be received no later than the last Wednesday of every month. When you turn in your application, we ask that you submit 10 sets of plans. Please supply us with sufficient detail. In practice, this means a fully detailed set of elevations. If your project is not fully developed and not seeking final board approval, provide us with as much detail as possible.
