Title
Design and Technical Standards for the Eastside CRA District (B)
Explanation
In October 2003, the CRA adopted Design and Technical Standards for three of the four CRA districts. The goal of the standards was to make available the streetscape information for developers in each district to insure that the numerous groups working within the district all understand the expectations for consistent streetscaping, and do not have to reinvent plans, materials, components, etc. for each project's streetscape. Various City departments and developers use the Standards as a reference tool during new development and streetscaping projects. The Design and Technical Standards help to simplify the streetscaping process by standardizing a number of items, so that more time can be focused on those items that are specific challenges to the project.
When the original documents were adopted, the Eastside CRA was new and no standards were created. Over the past several months the Eastside Redevelopment Advisory Board has worked on design and technical standards for their district and is now ready to recommend the standards. The Standards follow the same format and content as the adopted Standards for the other districts.
