The Bureau of Planning & Sustainability (BPS) requests a work session to discuss results of their exploration in adding prescriptive design standards to Zoning Code Chapter 33.420 in support of the Montgomery Park Area Plan Character Statement. BPS staff has determined that adding more standards to that chapter would not provide additional benefits outside of what is already written in the design standards in Chapter 33.420, in the plan district standards, and in the Public Benefits Agreement. BPS staff would like to discuss revising the Design Commission’s recommendation on the Montgomery Park Character Statement to City Council to remove the sentence which requests that City Council direct BPS staff to develop prescriptive design standards that relate to the goals of the Character Statement.
