Public Project Review

Technical Advisory & Project Review (TAPR) Committee

One of the primary obligations of the Community Appearance Commission is to review upon request all projects funded by the city and county government, as well as any privately developed property. The Technical Advisory and Project Review (TAPR) Committee represents the public’s interests in setting high standards of quality appearance for public development in our community. After reviewing local government development plans, the TAPR committee makes recommendations to enhance the visual quality and aesthetic character of each project. Schools, offices, landscape plans, parking decks, road enhancements, fire stations, parks, and signage are representative of the plans reviewed.

The Commission has prepared a brochure entitled Public Project Review to guide public officials and designers through the review process. This publication also includes the design criteria that the committee uses to review projects. Each year a calendar is released with the dates of submittal deadlines and TAPR meetings.
