He stated this Board's decisions <br />would be appealable by the Planning Commission and City Council. <br />He stated he would like to the this design review board work in <br />work sessions with developers and City staff. <br /> <br /> Councilmember Mohr stated she felt interaction between this <br />board, the developers and City staff should be early in the <br />process, so that the developer would have input before final <br />planning. <br /> <br /> Councilmember Butler stated he would like to have two current <br />Planning Commissioners serve with the new board, which could be <br />advantageous and improve the Planning Commission. <br /> <br /> After further discussion, it was moved by Councilmember <br />Butler, and seconded by Councilmember Mohr, that Ordinance No. <br />1410 be re-introduced, amending Chapter 18.20 and 18.16 (if <br />necessary) of the Municipal Code with respect to a Design Review <br /> <br /> - 11 - 5-2-89 <br /> <br /> <br />
