She noted that perhaps <br />there would be a limitation on the number of LED lights that could be placed on a building. <br />Commissioner VanScoy stated that it seems that this ordinance focuses on safety, involving both <br />a maximum and minimum but also recognized that there is an issue of aesthetics that would be <br />limited in terms of regulation. <br />Commissioner Hunt stated that he also liked LED lighting and also suggested perhaps including a <br />maximum allowed to prevent something from going over the line. <br />Planning Manager Larson noted that he could explore that idea. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked if the parking areas mentioned would include parking <br />garages/ramps. <br />Planning Manager Larson replied that he would look into that. <br />8.
