Brookline has required design review by the Planning Board for major
projects and for anything along five major streets -- altho there are no
design guidelines and there are certain limits in application.

Excluding LHDs and Neighborhood Conservation districts, I'd be
interested in knowing of any place that has design review, what its
limits are, and how it is implemented.  E.g. I think Newburyport has
some sort of design review through its redevelopment authority, altho I
don't know more than that -- and, of course, there is the BRA in Boston.


And are there places with separate design review boards?
