Re: Supplemental Staff Report -El Dorado Plaza (Application Nos. V-2013-041 (A-D) and V-2013-042)
SUMMARY
On March 19, 2014, the Town Council voted to defer the El Dorado Plaza project proposed by Destiny Buildings, LLC. Subsequent to the Town Council meeting, the applicant has worked with staff to reduce the variances requested. After working with staff, the applicant was able to revise the building elevations to eliminate Variance Request #5 (Application No. V-2013-042), Sec. 3-80(F) relating to the minimum percentage of doors and windows on the first floor and prohibition of faux or display casements in lieu of exterior window treatments. There have been no changes to the sign variances #1 thru #4 requested. Therefore, the staff analysis and recommendation provided in my report, dated March 19, 2014, for Variance Requests #1 thru #4 (Application Nos. V-2013-041 (A-D)) listed below remain unchanged.
