I BACKGROUND In addition to being below the median of Planning review fees and currently not charging for certain development review services, the City of San Bernardino can provide additional services for a fee. One of these additional services is professional design review for a prDposed project's building/architectural elevations. The Development Review Committee needs to have trained professionals to provide the evaluation and input on improving the architectural design aspect of a proposed project. The design review will fund this type of review. The developer would pay for a professional design review of his/her project's architectural design/appearance. The city in turn would have a private consulting firm do the architectural design review. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommendation is to authorize the Mayor to execute an agreement with Urban Design Studio for purpose of providing architectural design services to the City. M&CCAGENDA: DESIGN .
