Hubbard. Summarized the request for the proposed Facade Exception, specifically for the
request to increase the permitted percentage of secondary materials. Noted the current
Planned Development -67 regulations require the inclusion of awnings and canopies in the
secondary material calculations.
Commission: Inquired about elements comprising secondary materials; the secondary material
calculation percentage without awnings and canopies included; the orientation of buildings;
known tenants; and the percentage of buildings with known tenants. Indicated concern for
allowing increased secondary materials for unknown tenants.
David Culbertson (Architect): Stated the proposed request allows the architectural flexibility for
tenants to establish their national branding. Indicated the inclusion of awnings and canopies is
prohibitive to keeping secondary materials within 10% of an elevation, and noted the west facing
elevations necessitate the inclusion of awnings and canopies.
Commission: Commissioners generally expressed support for the proposed Facade Exception
primarily due to scale of the buildings; the limitation caused by canopies and awnings counting
toward the secondary material percentage; the need for awnings and canopies for the west
facing elevations; the need to allow tenants the ability to establish their national branding; and
secondarily, to allow for architectural flexibility.
Motioned by Snyder, seconded by Daniel, to approve the Facade Exception. Motion approved
7-0.
5. Review actions taken by the Town Council and possibly direct Town Staff to
schedule topic(s) for discussion at a future meeting.
Webb: Discussed action taken by Town Council at the June 28, 2016, meeting.
