Overview: In response to a Council request, staff and design consultant Tony Sease have conducted a more detailed review of the Blue Hill building massing standards as a follow-up to the text amendment adopted by Council in June of 2018. In this work session, Mr. Sease will present seven potential options for further addressing the massing issue, and focus on four recommended options for Council consideration.
|
|
Recommendation(s): |
That the Council receive the presentation and provide feedback on the options presented.
Decision Points:
• Do these standards meet the Council’s interests for approved building massing?
• Is more information or study needed before initiating a text amendment process?
Fiscal Impact/Resources: Project involves limited staff time and a contract of up to $21,090 for work by design consultant.
