Reston Association’s Board of Directors approved process changes to its design review guidelines Thursday night. The changes, under discussion for just under two years, are aimed to expedite application processing and boost efficiency.
Overall, review of cluster standard applications would jump from review by the Design Review Board’s panel to consultation-level review with two DRB members. Additionally, other applications would move from consultation-level review to staff-level review only.
A complete list of the approved changes is available online. No content changes to the design guidelines are in effect as a result of Thursday’s approval.
Anna Varone, RA’s director of covenants administration, said the changes will help “streamline the process to allow quicker processing.” The DRB held a public hearing on the changes in July.
Members can still request appeals of applications, including those now delegated to staff-level review.
