Downtown Design Guidelines

The Puyallup City Council adopted Design Guidelines for downtown Puyallup. These Guidelines, along with the Puyallup Zoning Code, shape the form of structures and sites in the Central Business District (CBD) and CBD-Core zones in downtown Puyallup. The Design Guidelines present a clear set of objectives for improving pedestrian areas and the quality and diversity of building design in downtown Puyallup. Projects subject to these Guidelines are reviewed either administratively by City staff, or by the Puyallup Design Review Board.
