Come Review and Discuss the Draft Design Guidelines and
Standards Code

Property owners, stakeholders and interested parties are invited to attend our fourth community forum for the Rockwood Design Standards project. This forum is intended to review and discuss the draft Design Guidelines and Standards Code.
