A.0 Discuss Items from Regular City Council Meeting
There were no questions from Council.
A.1 Presentation and Discussion on proposed revisions to Article V, Division 4 of the
Zoning Ordinance regarding Masonry and Architecture Requirements for
Commercial Properties
Senior Planner Clayton Comstock informed Council staff would be bringing forward an
item that will allow the City to address masonry and architecture requirements. The
proposed revision is designed to meet the following objectives: (1) reduce the 10,000
square foot threshold to 1,400 square feet; (2) allow greater flexibility in the masonry
percentages by reintroducing stucco and reinforced exterior insulation and finishing
system (EIFS); (3) restructure options available to architects; and (4) introduce options
based on basic LEED core concepts. Staff is proposing to redefine façade wall to
extend on side and to apply to rear facades of pad sites. Mr. Comstock advised
Council the approach to provide varied options—three categories—was preferred by a
panel of architects. The three categories of options are articulation, ornamentation and
conservation. Within each category, it is proposed that an applicant can choose 3 of 7
options within the articulation category; 3 of 13 options within the ornamentation
category; and 3 of 7 options within the conservation category. Mr. Comstock advised
Council that staff is seeking their direction to move forward with the proposed revision.
There were no questions from Council. Staff was directed to continue with the
proposed revision. Mr. Comstock advised that an item would be placed on the August
11, 2014 City Council meeting to consider the amendment.
