ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
Six alternative standards were previously granted related to the primary pedestrian street and other site features due to significant easement constraints. The two alternative standards requested now are not related to the easement constraints but are due to a new prototype elevation and layout design for Spec’s Wine, Spirits & Finer Foods (Spec’s). The two following alternative standards are requested: a) to replace the required 40% ground floor windows along the primary pedestrian street with 12% windows and utilizing a second brick color to mimic the pattern and rhythm of windows and install a mural on the south wall; and b) to reduce the 75% canopy coverage along the primary pedestrian street to 18%. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended unanimous (6-0) approval on July 2, 2024.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the alternative standards as set forth in the caption above.
