Planning Commission Minutes — August 10, 2006 Page 4 the PUD amendment is proposing one. The building will increase from 19,572 square feet to 20,109, which is an increase of 600 feet. The patio area was lost but there is revised architecture that added glass to all three sides of the building and staff will continue to work with the applicant on the architecture. The applicant is asking for allowance of a 24 foot front yard set back on the north elevation of the building. Staff will also continue to work with the applicant on the location of the trash enclosures. The Planner stated that the revisions were generally consistent with the PUD plan and recommended approval.
