2026-10-28 - Planning Commission

Staff flagged right-of-way vehicle drop-offs (encroachment permit denied), glass and EIFS durable-material reductions, and active ground-floor uses lacking sidewalk access. The applicant cited security screening and a high water table; removing the pull-outs would shift buildings 35-40 feet north and cut open space from one acre to about half an acre. Commissioners asked for more activation options. Development agreement changes would go to the City Council.
