Design guidelines for wieldier discretionary review: evidence from Portland
The use of design guidelines in development control continues to be popular, especially when regulators seek to limit the scope of discretionary latitude. However, the question of how a guidelines framework can be designed to suit the time-constrained and deliberative nature of review hearings remains unaddressed. Using evidence from Portland, this study concludes that boards and staff work around these difficulties by using guidelines in combination, and in so doing almost always undermine their intent. The paper suggests how predefined roadmaps to articulate and combine guideline use can make the process wieldier.
