The Design Commission is an advisory body that provides recommendations to the City Council. The Design Commission reviews a variety of projects and policies and uses the Urban Design Guidelines document as their guiding document. Why do you have to present your project? Your project most likely fits under the Downtown Density Bonus Program typology or the City of Austin project typology. These projects are compelled to be reviewed by the Design Commission per City Code or Resolution. Please see the Guiding Policy page to find all the guiding code or policy for projects that must be reviewed by Design Commission.
