What is Discretionary Review (DR)?
Discretionary Review (DR) is the Planning Commission’s authority to review projects that comply with the Planning Code and take action if it is found that the case demonstrates an exceptional and extraordinary circumstance. Currently anyone can file a DR Application on any building permit, and have that project brought before the Planning Commission for a public hearing and review. Conceptually, DR is a second look – with the opportunity for public participation – at building permit applications that have already been determined to comply with Planning Code standards and applicable design standards. The idea is that additional scrutiny by the Planning Commission might be necessary in some cases to judge whether the design guidelines were interpreted correctly or whether there are circumstances unique to a case that warrant further modifications of the proposed project, beyond the standards of the Code and applicable design guidelines.
