DOWNTOWN DESIGN REVIEW BOARD (DDRB)
DDRB Guidelines
The Downtown Design Review Board was established to make recommendations about changes to structures and objects in the downtown district when staff of the Community Development Department cannot resolve problems.
There are 3 – 6 members of this Board who serve three-year terms and must reside in Erie County (three being city residents) and their meetings are scheduled on an as-needed basis. More specifically, some members must have expertise in certain areas such as architecture, planning, law, history, design or art.
The Downtown Design Review District boundaries are Sandusky Bay on the north, Hancock Street on the east, Washington Street on the south and Decatur Street on the west. All properties within such boundaries and all properties fronting on the opposite side of Washington, Decatur and Hancock Streets are subject to the regulations of this Board.
