What is a Design Guideline?
The simple answer can be found in the city’s Unified Development Code.
Design Guidelines: A set of design parameters for development which apply within a design
district, sub-district, or overlay zone. The guidelines are adopted public statements of intent
and are used to evaluate the acceptability of a project’s design. (Spokane Municipal Code
17A.020.040.L)
In practice, since design review is an advisory process only, the adopted Design
Guidelines help guide conversations that Urban Design staff and the Design Review
Board have with a design review applicant.
… ensure that projects subject to design review under the Spokane Municipal Code are
consistent with adopted design guidelines and help implement the City’s comprehensive
plan. (Spokane Municipal Code 04.13.015.B)
The guidelines help ensure that these conversations, and the advice rendered, stays
focused on the community’s set of aesthetic expectations for the public realm elements
of a project or plan.
