Design Review Board
ATTENTION:
Due to the provision of the Governor’s Executive Orders N-25-20 and N-29-20 to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the City of Santa Rosa has postponed all in-person public meetings until further notice. However, the City is conducting virtual public meetings with streaming video and telephone options. Thank you for your understanding as the City continues to take measures to protect the health and safety of our community.
For more information about the City of Santa Rosa’s response to the coronavirus, visit srcity.org/PreventTheSpread.
The seven-member Design Review Board serves as custodian of the City’s design policies. The Board reviews both public and private development proposals to ensure that Santa Rosa remains attractive and maintains a "sense of place" which the General Plan sets forth as "unique to Santa Rosa."
The Design Review Board reviews design proposals in light of adopted design review policies set forth in the City’s Design Review Guidelines. The Board reviews development proposals that have neighborhood compatibility issues and major developments that may have significance to the City’s aesthetic character. For more information, see the Design Review page.
