6.4.2 Design Checklist A Design Checklist has been prepared to allow for the review of development and design proposals and applications in reference to the recommendations of this document. The purpose of the checklist is to facilitate the quick evaluation of designs to determine if a project conforms to the recommendations of these guidelines. It is recommended that designers evaluate their projects in advance of a submission to the Town and identify any non-compliance on the checklist to be submitted with the application. This will assist Town Staff with their evaluation and add transparency to the review process. A digital copy of the checklist should be made available on the Town’s website. Please refer to the Design Checklist on the following pages of this document for more information.

6.4.1 Building Information Package A building information package should be developed for businesses and land owners looking to redevelop or renovate their existing properties. The information package should include: • A summary of the urban design guidelines including the design checklist (as outlined in section 6.4.2). • An overview of the downtown vision and the community’s long term goals for redevelopment. • An overview of the Town’s roles in implementing the guidelines including a clear overview of the review process. • An overview of the tools available to business and land owners, including design assistance, façade improvements loans, way finding, etc.

Murals are encouraged to beautify existing blank walls.

The Town should predetermine a style of character of blank facade improvements.
