For the other two districts, he commented that every effort would be made so that the process would not be terribly affected. Mr. Smith asked if City Council could override decisions made by this Review Board, This was discussed. Atty. Stringer commented that he envisioned Planning and Zoning determining the footprint and layout of a site plan first, then the appearance issues would go to the new Board.
