MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JULY 24, 1996 Fahey f.elt architectural elements would be addressed on a case--by-case basis. The architectural guidelines give the City the ability to coordinate development in the Rice Street/Little Canada Road area. However, development will still be different and will reflect individual taste. Pedersen stated that he would agree the reference to French-Canadian theme should be eliminated from the B-3 architectural guidelines. The City Planner noted that the biggest difference is in the Rice Street/Little Canada Road area, where buildings will be pulled to the street giving the area a downtown feel. In the remaining B-3 areas, buildings will be pulled back for a suburban look. The streetscape will look quite different between these two areas. Morelan asked if this document got the City where it wanted to be. The Planner felt the City will accomplish what it wants to with the guidelines as proposed. Mr. LaValle introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION N0. 96-7-177 - ADOPTING THE ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES FOR THE CITY~S B-3 DISTRICTS AS RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION The foregoinq resolution was duly seconded by Fahey.
