The purpose of the Downtown Design & Exterior Maintenance Code is to preserve and enhance the economic vitality and viability of Downtown Zanesville. In doing so, the Downtown Design & Exterior Maintenance Code provides for the further implementation in the economic enhancement strategies of the Downtown Zanesville Master Plan 1995, prepared by HyettPalma, Inc. The Code makes exterior maintenance and building method recommendations based on those strategies. It also encourages the establishment of an open dialogue between the Downtown Design Review Board and the developer during the planning stages of the project. The Downtown Design Review Board should work with applicants in a cooperative manner to encourage quality oriented development, while remaining sensitive to the needs and wishes of the applicant.
