The Design Review Board (DRB) is authorized via BIMC 2.14.040. That section does not address residency for DRB members, which is similar to several, but not all, other City commissions, committees, and boards appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council. A notable exception is the Planning Commission. Pursuant to BIMC 2.14.020.C.1., Planning Commissioners "shall be residents of the city." Additionally, Utility Advisory Committee members "shall be residents of the city." See BIMC 2.33.010.A.
Up for discussion is whether the City Council desires to have a residency requirement for DRB members.
