19.02.070 Design review.
The planning director may engage the services of a licensed architect, or other licensed design professional when the director deems it appropriate and in the public interest, to provide recommendations in connection with the review of any project that:
A. Is subject to any design standard or guideline established in this title; or
B. Involves discretionary design-related decisions, such as a modification of design standards, authorized in this title. Recommendations of the architect or design professional shall be advisory only, and shall not otherwise limit the director’s authority to require changes in any project design to meet the design requirements of this title or the director’s discretion to approve or deny requested modifications or apply discretionary design criteria.
