Design Review Board
The newly created Urbana Design Review Board will serve a critical role in reviewing the design of proposed developments in specified design review overlay districts. The City currently has two such districts: the Lincoln-Busey Corridor (a one-block wide corridor between Illinois Street and Pennsylvania Avenue) and the East Urbana District (the northwest portion of the Historic East Urbana Neighborhood). The Board will evaluate projects using design guidelines to determine the overall compatibility of the proposal with the character of the neighborhood.
Regular Meetings shall be held the second Thursday following the first City Council meeting of each month.
