My understanding, and the reccomendation of the ULI study, is that the city "should" set design standards, and have a design review committee in place for the different neighborhoods. This would assure that the design standards would be followed.
Also, the city is going to need to provide incentives for development, as construction cost and financing make it difficult to actually develop the properties in question at an affordable price to the consumer.
