City Council Meeting Minutes December 1, 2015 Page 7 of 20 Dillard explained they will cater to all ages by providing a climbing school, programs, summer camps, climbing, crafts for children, fitness classes and a yoga studio. Council member Stolzmann asked if the CTC Owners Association has their own process to approve or deny the design. Planner I Trice explained they do have their own processes. She noted the logo was not a part of the original submittal and therefore the CTC Ownership Association would have to review this again.
