5. Public Hearing on Landscaping, Architecture, and Screening.
Chair Syme closed the Public Meeting and entered a Public Hearing by consensus.
Mr. Morris reviewed the new Ordinance on Architecture, Landscaping and Screening Re-Enacted. This ordinance originated after a meeting last year where Mr. Syme asked staff to update the front facing building architecture standards so that building fronts were required to face streets. Staff noted that the entire ordinance has been updated and include the comments from Mr. Syme on the building fronting streets. Some inconsistencies were removed and other technical changes were made to support architecture design, landscaping standards, and fencing.
No public comment was offered.
Chair Syme closed the Public Hearing and re-opened the Public Meeting by consensus.
