LINCOLN CITY DESIGN STANDARDS-TAKE THE VISUAL PREFERENCE POLL

None

The City of Lincoln City is updating its design standards for commercial and multi-family uses, and we want to hear from you.  Based on images used for the public workshop we held over the summer, the visual preference poll is an easy way to tell us your preferences for future development styles.  We’ll use your responses to find ways to improve existing requirements for new development.

The poll will close on November 2, 2018.  A summary of poll responses will be posted to the City’s website.  If you have any questions, please contact Senior Planner, Debra Nicholson at dnicholson@lincolncity.org.

Check Out Taft Dock

Have you been down to Taft Dock recently.   Go check it out and see the rebuilding in progress.  The work includes reinforcing the poles below the sand line, replacing the decking, bringing it up to ADA standards, etc.  We’re really excited about it.

We’ve also kept the wood that was removed and I plan to see if we can make into art work throughout town.  The first thing I want to do is refurbish a portion of the bench and add it to City hall.
