The applicant had indicated that this is a new prototype building. Staff did not support the request because of a possible precedent that it would set. Commissioner Smith asked if it was a material similar to a previous case.City Planner Ensey said that this material is more of a hardy plank as compared to ephus in the previous case. Commissioner Stockham questioned whether or not the ordinance applied to only the front of the building. City Planner Ensey said it applies to all sides visible from a right-of-way, which in this case would be all four sides. The Commissioner then asked for clarification as to if each side had to be 50% or if it was just the total. City Planner Ensey said in his opinion the ordinance is about spreading it out on all sides, but it does not have to be exactly even.
