Planning & Zoning Board June 13, 2001 Page 30 block on the office portion of the building shall be either smooth burnished concrete block or rock -face block. Staff stated this originated in a request by the Planning & Zoning Board to revisit the building elevation along the freeway. Because this was a very visible location, the P & Z asked for some additional attention to aesthetics. In response, the applicant then submitted a revised south elevation that included a custom "cattail" pattern in the concrete panels. Though the P & Z did not see the new pattern, the revision was included in the project review by the City Council and was specified in the condition of approval listed above. Staff indicated North American Compsites had asked that this condition be deleted because of the cost of the custom design. Instead, they had submitted a design that included a four -foot blue stripe across the top of the precast concrete panels. The panels had a raked finish, just like the original submittal. In addition, the design of the building had been reviewed somewhat. The office portion exterior would still be decorative concrete block. However, the standing seam metal roof on both portions of the building had changed in the new design. Instead, the new proposed design had a flat roof for the warehouse portion. The office portion also had a flat roof, but the east elevation incorporated a peaked facade. Staff stated the footprint of the new design increased the footp t by about 500 sf, about a 2% change. Staff considered this a relatively minor change. Staff indicated because the cattail design was a con • 'on oapprovaf it would require action by the City Council to change it Staff discussed the req ith the City Council at the June 6 worksession.
