The Development and Review is the official reviewing body for the CapitolRiver Council (District 17). The primary purpose of the committee is to monitor, evaluate and recommend action in regard to significant activity that could have a physical, economic and/or social impact on the district 17 community and/or its environment. This will include not only activities that have been referred or brought to the attention of the district council, but also proposed action that becomes apparent from committee interaction with other agencies and organizations or through other sources. All types of development, and specifically those developments that use government funding or permits are required by city ordinance to be reviewed by this committee. Occasionally, this committee reviews issues outside District 17 boundaries but effecting downtown.

Accomplishments:

• Review and/or approval of residential and commercial building projects including business ventures which affect the Downtown.
• The Farmer's Market expansion.
• Downtown aesthetics including signage, parks and skyways.
• Review current downtown developments
• Provide relevant neighborhood information to potential developers
• Reinforce City policies, ordinances and guidelines as it relates to proposed developments
• Advocate on behalf of our downtown constituency for revisions to city policies, ordinances and guidelines
• Review and recommend action on zoning issues and variances
