SPECIAL REVIEW
Simultaneous Phase 1, 2 and 3 review:
Three-phase review for small-scale, less complicated projects will now be considered after Civic Design staff have assessed the project submittal and determined that the team is prepared for all three phases. Project managers will be made aware that they will not necessarily pass all three steps. Project teams will still need to present the project overview, materials samples and construction drawings to the Committee for approval at the meeting. Administrative simultaneous phase 1, 2 and 3 review may be considered by written request for extremely small projects.
Joint Phase 1 and 2 review:
Simultaneous phase 1 and 2 review of projects may be considered. As in the case of a three-phase review, Civic Design staff will assess the project submittal and determine whether the team is prepared for both phases. The project team will also be made aware that they will not necessarily pass both reviews.
Administrative Phase 3 review:
Requests for administrative final design approval will be considered, providing that there are no changes to the previously approved Phase 2 submittal. Project managers should submit a letter stating that there are no changes, or explaining any minor modifications. Final construction drawings must be submitted to Civic Design staff and will be made available to the Committee for review during the regular monthly meeting. Final letters stating the approval of the Phase 3 submittal will be issued after the monthly Civic Design and full Commission meetings. The approval will appear on the consent calendar at the full Commission meeting. Note that the project team will not be required to attend either meeting.
Individual Project Review:
The Civic Design Coordinator may calendar a special Civic Design review meeting for large-scale projects that include complicated large-scale buildings on a campus and/or occupying a prominent public site. Projects that may be eligible for special review include, but are not limited to, hospitals, airports and large corporate developments on City property. Note that these meetings will only be calendared under special circumstances.
