Commissioner Sullivan amended his motion to include that a detailed report be brought I""- back to the Planning Commission describing what was covered in the workshop, the elements that were discussed, and what the final score card looks like for the best effort basis and that the Planning Commission would be able to judge the scorecard. He also added a provision that the language in the final LEED scorecard agreed to by the applicant would be more of a commitment. Commissioner Roberts seconded the amended motion. Ms. Seto asked if the Planning Commission is planning to defer approval of the project until after they review the colors in two weeks. She advised that the Planning Commission does not need to make a formal motion if they wish to provide direction and take action on the colors and design review at the next meeting. She noted that they will need to reach a consensus about how to handle the green building issues, but that could be done at the next meeting. She further noted that based on the information that staff is able to provide them on the comparison of this project and the Peridot building they may be more comfortable with the applicant's attempt to comply with the green building condition, or they may wish to hold a public hearing versus receiving an informational report. Ms. Kline confirmed that the Planning Commission is directing the applicant to provide three alternative color schemes with muted colors (or possibly earth tones) that are compatible with surrounding buildings. The Commission also requested that staff provide photographs of the existing surrounding buildings, as well as a comparison of the Peridot building LEED score and the score ofthe proposed building, with a summary.
