At the time of the case writing,the first round of review from City Staff has not been fully conducted. Comments include suggested revisions to the lighting plan to incorporate building-mounted systems, and reduce the pole height to limit light distribution to neighboring properties. A few minor details need to be included such as parking stall dimensions to verify compliance with City Code, and details for the trash enclosure. Two comments were added that will require further discussion with the applicants about a potential fence on the east property line, and potential relocation of the playground areas from the east to the west side of the building to limit noise for neighboring parcels. As mentioned above, Staff review comments are attached to this case. Public Correspondence The Applicant met with adjacent neighbors to the east to discuss the proposed day care center.
