§ 23.08.065. Citizens' Participation Program—Purpose.

A.

The purpose of the Citizens' Participation Program is to ensure that applicants for projects requiring the receipt of a Design Review Permit conduct efforts to notify potentially affected parties of proposed developments early in the design phase of a project. The Citizens' Participation Program is also intended to give the applicants and their agents the opportunity to understand and respond to concerns raised about the project's potential impacts on the community.

B.

The Citizens' Participation Program is not intended to produce complete consensus on all applications but to facilitate dialogue among applicants and neighbors early in the development review process. Completion of the Citizen's Participation Program shall not be construed as any prejudgment, commitment, or guarantee that an application for a Design Review Permit will be approved with or without any particular conditions. Approval of a Design Review Permit is at the sole discretion of the Design Review Board or City Council on appeal.
