Schedule Update and Expectations Niven noted that a lot of correspondence on these proposed actions has been received by staff, and at this point, everything that has been received has been forwarded to the Commission.
Niven said neither Sloman nor I were here in 1987 when the Master Site Plan was approved, and in fact we have been surprised by a lot of the details we have found in this permit.
If the building is more than 150,000 square feet and is part of an approved Land Plan, it will come to the Commission for input but the Council will be the decision maker.
He said if the Commission doesn’t feel comfortable with this process, or can’t come to a consensus, that can also be forwarded as part of the Commission’s recommendation to Council.
The Commission agreed to continue this discussion at the next meeting.
