The purpose of the study session was to hold discussion and receive input on staf'f's
proposed changes to the Manual.
The Commission was in agreement with the proposed changes. There were some
suggestions that more articulation for a longer fagade or a building set back from the
street could be required. Perhaps facade articulation should be 20% of the required
setback but not less than a foot.
