Part of my job as Urban Designer invloves reviewing the design of houses in the Coastal Zone. Our jurisdiction does not have a Design Review Board. I am an in-house design reviewer. Often, I will take the drawing submitted and make minor revisions which I think helps the design and better fits in the neighborhood.
I offer the suggested revisions for discussion with the designer and the owner. Being a full-time staff member, I am available for meeting with the project planners, the designers and architects and the general public.
