O'Brien replied that there are ways to screen it from being viewed from above and they should be concerned with all views. Schiferl also inquired why the energy efficiency construction materials were not included with this draft. Carlson replied that he pulled out the key land use and development pieces from the guidelines, but could add the energy efficiency to this if the Commission would like it. He would also like to see the service loading, docks, recycling and trash containers that was in the design guidelines to also be added to this draft. Zisla stated that they may want to reword the franchise sign language. Schiferl inquired if Rick Wriskey, City Forester, would be going over all landscaping plans. Fernelius replied that was correct. O'Brien requested that drivit be eliminated from the secondary construction materials. He stated that it is a poor choice of use with wood and metal stud construction. O'Keefe asked why town houses are held to half the amount of primary construction material than the offices. Carlson replied that is because they have different design standard, but the Commission could change that if they would like.

Public Hearing: Zoning Code Amendments to Section 7-220 (1) and Section 7-230 (8) Planned Developments In response to the development proposal of the residential component on the west side of Old Highway 8 located within the Northwest Quadrant, the City Attorney has prepared minor amendment language to Section 7-220 (1) and Section 7-230 (8) of the PUD ordinance. While the project includes a re-zoning to R3A, Multi-Family Residential, a Planned Unit Development must also be processed to allow some variance from setback standards, which are justified under the NWQ Design Guidelines. The City Attorney has drafted the attached code amendment. Assuming a favorable Planning Commission recommendation, it would be forwarded to the City Council for review and adoption at their February 28, 2006 meeting, in conjunction with the preliminary PUD for the housing portion of the Northwest Quadrant. The preliminary PUD for the Northwest Quadrant can only be approved by the Council after, or in conjunction with this ordinance amendment, but not before.
