r- Commission whether or not the applicant is making a good faith effort. Chairperson Maas voiced support for Commissioner Sullivan's suggestion. Chairperson Maas asked the other Commissioners if they would be willing to direct the applicant to work with staff on more muted colors. Commissioner Roberts stated that she would like to see another option on the colors. Commissioner Sullivan noted that the Commission did not have an opportunity to review the colors until this evening. Discussion ensued regarding the timing and possible options for rescheduling this item so that the applicant would have the opportunity to prepare and present new color schemes. Commissioner Harvey stated that he would like to see the context of the colors with the surrounding buildings. Chairperson Maas noted that she would also like to see a rendering of the proposed fire station. Commissioner Sullivan stated that he would want these materials prior to the meeting to allow the opportunity for the Commissioners who want to visit the site to have this information. Commissioner Sullivan stated that he would be comfortable with placing a condition on the project requiring the architect to attend the April 24 workshop and directing staff to help educate the applicant. He further stated that he would be satisfied if there is an effort on behalf of the applicant to put forth a best effort, and in staff's opinion the applicant has done everything to make that good faith effort. He also suggested that the Planning Commission prioritize some issues on which they feel the applicant should focus, such as having a portion or the entire roof PV-ready. - Commissioner Arkin stated that he would like to know what it would take to have the building LEED certified. He advised that he would like to see an analysis of the cost. Chairperson Maas noted that LEED certification is not currently a requirement of the City. Ms Maier commented that staff is trying to come up with thresholds for compliance in the ordinance. Chairperson Maas noted that the proposed ordinance does not apply to this application. Commissioner Sullivan suggested that staff could mark the scorecard indicating what would need to be done to certify the building and those items could be reviewed with the applicant. Commissioner Roberts stated that it would be interesting to compare this building to the rating of the Peri dot building. Ms. Kline reviewed other approaches and timing for responding to the items that the Planning Commission has brought forward, noting that the item could probably be rescheduled for the first meeting in April. Chairperson Maas stated that she would hate to delay a project because of something that is not an ordinance. She noted that she does not have a problem with continuing this matter to the next meeting so that some alternative colors could be provided, visuals and photographs could be prepared, and staff could have the opportunity to discuss with the applicant what they can and will do with regard to the green building requirements. r- PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES March 13, 2002 Page 6
