OLD BUSINESS: Design Standards, Downtown Overlay District
Monica gave a power point presentation on the Design Standards for the Downtown Overlay District.
Monica stated that because of some distinctive differences between the downtown business district and
the SE Fourth Street business district she decided it would be better to have separate Chapters for each
district. LMC Chapter 17.25 will be the Downtown Overlay District and LMC Chapter 17.26 will be S.E.4th
Overlay District.
Monica has most of Chapter 17.26 completed for the SE 4th Street overlay district but is waiting to
receive information on covenants for the Ace Hardware building.Tonight she will present only the LMC
Chapter 17.25 for the Downtown Overlay District.
