Current Activities
Last fall, the City Council tasked the Planning Agency to work with City planning staff to review design guidelines for the Downtown Neighborhood. The goal is to fashion a document that blends a sense of public vision with concrete and easily understood guidelines for designers and developers as they evaluate, plan, and implement development projects in the downtown waterfront core. This document is but one part of an overall revitalization strategy for the Downtown, but it is an important one since it will affect the pattern and the "look and feel" of the new environment we shall see and experience in the future.
This effort builds upon several years of discussion within the Council and represents its efforts to bring the widest possible array of stakeholders into the process. As part of the guideline review, several public outreach gatherings will be scheduled by the Agency in the near future. In the meantime, the Agency has set up an email account planning_agency@desmoineswa.gov, and public comments are encouraged.
