Common use of Design Review Process Clause in Contracts

Design Review Process. (i) Recognizing the importance of the visual impact of the WWTP, and respecting the Development Permit requirements of the Township’s Official Community Plan, the CRD agrees to involve the City of Victoria, along with the Township, in a collaborative design review process involving the three (3) shortlisted proponent teams relating to the exterior design and finish of the WWTP, with the intent that such discussions will result in concurrence among the CRD, the Township’s staff and the City of Victoria. It is intended to hold the collaborative design review process during October and November 2013, in advance of the final submissions from the proponent teams. (ii) As the design review process will take place during the competitive RFP process, participants including those from the Township shall sign a confidentiality agreement prior to participating in the design review process. The parties acknowledge that such agreement cannot be applicable to the exercise of the Township’s statutory powers in relation to the required development permit(s). (iii) The CRD recognizes that the Project Lands are designated a development permit area in accordance with the Local Government Act and therefore the final decision on design and permit issuance rests with the Township’s Council (subject however to appeals, judicial review and the authority of the Minister of Environment under the Environmental Management Act). The CRD will bring forward the final design as part of its development permit application for consideration by Township Council, but is free to seek input from Council in advance.
