Moline asks about Building D and waivers. Where will the monument sign be located? McCartney says Building D is the southern -most building on South Street, intersection of Cannon and South. The monument sign will be located at Building E. Moline asks how do you move or change some of the uses in the future if warranted? Is the PUD revisited to convert some commercial to residential or to move commercial or office into something that was previously residential? McCartney answers if there is an impact on parking and additional parking elements. Otherwise, use is permitted by right. PUD does not establish the uses; it establishes the development. If they are asking to reduce the retail and allow for residential, then an SRU is necessary. Rice asks about McClure's letter submittal. He states that there are 135 residential units in Phase 2 and approximately 31,000 SF of commercial /office. McClure's letter speaks in terms of 113 residential units and 26,000 SF of commercial.
