Architectural Review Board

The Architectural Review Board (ARB) consists of five members appointed by the mayor and city council. Members review proposed external changes to property in the city.  Its approval is a pre-requisite to the issuance of most building permits.  Appeals from its decisions go to the council.

Current ARB Members:

• Katie Luka, Chair
• Paul Hartley
• Doe Loftus
• Erin Lowery
• Ross Van Eaton

The Architectural Review Board (ARB) considers aesthetic elements to ensure that what is done with the exterior of Mission Woods property fits within the range of mission with standards of diversity. The ARB process intends to ensure that one resident will not do anything to his or her property that will noticeably upset many in the neighborhood or that will be noticeably out of keeping with general neighborhood conditions. The ARB process is not intended to impose tight uniformity among all properties. Virtually everything that a neighbor can see on your property is possibly subject to ARB jurisdiction. This is true regardless of whether zoning rules are met or any permit is required. ARB requirements can be more restrictive than zoning codes.
