The City of Claremont is seeking proposals from qualified planning, architecture, or urban design firms to develop Objective Design Standards (ODS) for multi-family and mixed-use residential development. The ODS will replace or supplement existing discretionary design guidelines and will be used to streamline housing approvals under applicable state laws such as SB 35, SB 330, and the Housing Accountability Act.
Claremont has a well-established architectural identity, including historic residential neighborhoods and a pedestrian-friendly Village core. The City intends for the ODS to uphold this character while ensuring consistency, clarity, and compliance with housing production mandates.
