Design Review Board
Purpose
The Design Review Board is responsible for the implementation of the City of Clinton Design Review Ordinance. The Design Review Board is charged with protecting the architectural appearance of the city and as such reviews and approves plans for signs, colors, building construction, façade changes, and demolition in the historic district.
Applicable Law
The authority to create a Board of Architectural Review or a Design Review Board is provided to local governments by the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Enabling Act of 1994.
Applicable Local Code
The Design Review Board receives its local authority from the City of Clinton Design Review Ordinance, which was enacted in 2005 and amended in 2010 and 2015. It is a part of the City of Clinton Zoning Ordinance.
Meeting Dates
The Design Review Board meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:00 pm in the City Council Chambers when there is business to come before the Board. The meeting is cancelled if there is no business to come before the Design Review Board, and additional meetings and work sessions are held as needed.
Membership
State law specifies that a Design Review Board cannot have more than ten members. The City of Clinton Design Review Ordinance establishes a seven member Design Review Board for Clinton. Members are appointed by a majority vote of the City Council of the City of Clinton to two year terms and are limited to two consecutive terms. Individuals who have served two terms may be reappointed for additional terms after a one year absence from the commission.
