INTER-AGENCY UPDATES: NONE
COMMISSION ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Commissioner Wimberly stated there are projects being built in the City where the massing is
significantly different than what they saw during the approval process and would like to see 3D
modeling or virtual tours for projects in the future.
Candyce Burnett, City Planner, responded to Commissioner Wimberly by asking for clarification
if he was looking for a formal policy change or for staff to require it as part of the formal
application process for projects.
Commissioner Wimberly replied he would like to see the adoption of a new policy and staff to
make recommendations to the developers to provide additional materials so the Commission
can see how projects will look when built-out due to future projects being primarily in-fill
developments.
Commissioner Munoz asked for clarification from staff if this would become a requirement of
the developer or of staff.
Ms. Burnett stated additional requirements that have been requested by the Planning
Commission can be added to the development checklist for new projects and a new policy of
the Commission can be created requiring other items be provided by the developer as part of
the Design Review package. She further stated that staff can bring back a policy to consider as
a Director’s item.
Commissioner Munoz requested that staff bring back parameters as to what types of projects
would require additional materials.
Ms. Burnett said staff can look at the intensity of the project, such as larger residential
developments exceeding a certain unit count or number of stories, that would require 3D
renderings or a virtual tour and make recommendations using these specific guidelines.
