Commissioner Anderson asked if the developer has looked at the medical zoning area near the VA <br />clinic as a possible location. He explained that he is trying to envision why all these uses would <br />be in one spot. <br />Planning Manager Larson replied that the intent is that these buildings and structures work together <br />as the clinic will have a strong sports medicine component, noting that the physicians would take <br />their clients to the dome for their exercises. He stated that if approved, the Commission would see <br />the actual plans for the project come forward in the normal planning process. <br />Citizen Input <br />Reese Sudtelgte, ISG, spoke in representation of the applicant and stated that they are still working <br />on options and iterations for the site. He stated that they are excited to place the facility in this <br />location and are looking at the three uses together. He welcomed any questions the Commission <br />may have. <br />Motion by Commissioner Peters, seconded by Commissioner Walker, to close the public hearing. <br />Motion Carried.

He clarified that the question of use would be the <br />dome and whether that would be classified as a health club, in addition to the architectural <br />standards within the COR. Commissioner VanScoy commented that he understands that the intent <br />would be for the building to look similar to the industrial buildings adjacent to the site. Planning <br />Manager Larson confirmed that this scale would fit better with the industrial buildings rather than <br />the smaller building envisioned for the COR.
