City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />June 12, 2018 <br />Page 5 of 6 <br />systems. We can require the architecture keep the mechanical systems from view for <br />commercial buildings. <br />Mayor Muckle brought up the questions individually: <br />1. Is Council supportive of the heights envisioned by the South Boulder Road Small <br />Area Plan and McCaslin Small Area Plan Height Plans? <br />Mayor Muckle stated the general consensus tonight was that the Council wants to allow <br />enough height to get three stories. <br />2. Should a Special Review Use be required for two and three story buildings where <br />specified under the South Boulder Road Small Area Plan or should more <br />consistency in process be provided between commercial areas? <br />Council is willing have staff draft recommendations on what processes to use in what <br />locations. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Lipton would like to see as much certainty baked in the process as <br />possible to reduce risk and uncertainty. <br />3. For properties zoned AO and within the South Boulder Road Small Area Plan, <br />should a Code Amendment also be processed which would allow for taller <br />buildings in accordance with the vision set forth in the Building Height Plan? <br />Council asked staff to draft recommendations for Council to consider. <br />4. For the properties zoned BO in the McCaslin Blvd. Small Area Plan, should 40- <br />foot tall buildings continue to be permitted where the height plan limits buildings <br />to a maximum of 2-stories? <br />Councilmember Stolzmann stated we should treat these areas similarly to surrounding <br />properties with similar rules. Mayor Muckle agreed. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Lipton stated there is a lot of elevation variation in the McCaslin <br />Boulevard area that should be considered in the guidelines. <br />5. Should the maximum height permitted for three -stories be increased from 35 feet <br />to 45 feet, including parapets or to some other specific height standard? <br />6. Where increased height is permitted, should additional architectural standards <br />such as setbacks on the third level or additional architectural features be <br />required? <br />Staff stated they got enough input on all the questions. <br />15 <br />
