He also stated the majority of the items were identified as ‘guidelines’ in the Commercial Development Design Standards and Guidelines. He reminded the Commission that a “guideline” is not a required element while a “standard” is required. Lipton asked what the length of the side of the building is. McMillan stated it is approximately 520’ in length. Lipton asked if staff had worked with the applicant to add architectural relief of the façade.
