He also asked if they were smaller than regular parking spaces. Ritchie stated that they were proposing two such parking spaces and that they were the same size. Break at 9:06. Reconvened at 9:13 p.m. Brauneis stated that they would be moving the fourth agenda item on a marijuana ordinance to the next meeting of the Planning Commission due to the lateness of the hour. Ritchie read staff's proposed language regarding the note amendment for on -street parking: "Prior to City Council, the applicant shall amend the note related to on -street parking to restrict that any users of the building shall not park on street." Brauneis asked if there were concerns with that language. Hsu asked about the parking waiver request. Ritchie replied that staff did not have additional comments for that, but the Commission could address the waiver. Brauneis closed the public comment period and asked for commissioner comments. Howe stated that he commended the efforts of Oz Architecture for trying something new in the CTC and he appreciated the sustainability efforts. He was in favor of the proposal. Ritchie asked the commissioners to approve the materials on the board or the alternative materials. Howe stated that the materials seemed reasonable and well -tested for the situation. Hoefner stated he was happy with both sets of materials and supported staff's assessment that the metal did not require a waiver. He was comfortable with the parking arrangement, as well. He asked the Association to speak up if parking became an issue. He finished by saying that the applicant presentation had helped him to understand and envision the project. Moline agreed with Commissioners Hoefner and Howe. Rice agreed and added that the bent against having steel buildings was rooted in feelings about industrial buildings and there has been a revolution in materials. The materials presented were beautiful and were compliant with the Design Guidelines. He echoed prior comments and added that the building was an investment in the community. 16
