Certain proposals for construction, exterior alterations, building demolitions or signs in the City of Cleveland must undergo a process known as "design review." The City established this process as a policy to ensure that any visual changes to buildings or open spaces will enhance the architectural character of the Downtown or other special planning areas in the City, such as Urban Renewal Plan areas, Community Development Plan areas, Neighborhood Commercial Districts and the Public Land Protective District.
