Commissioner Allen agreed with the <br /> suggestion. <br /> Commissioner Brown stated he liked the detail in Building 1 with the courtyard and that it <br /> mirrored the proposed residential reviewed for the mall development. He stated he liked the <br /> revision and suggested it might be better to have three- and four-story buildings but he liked <br /> the height. <br /> Chair Ritter stated he liked that the design removed the dumpsters currently at the entrance to <br /> the Stoneridge Mall area. He suggested waiting to determine setbacks until there were details <br /> on building height and location on the lot, adding that community benefit was more important to <br /> him. He suggested Building 1 be taller than Buildings 2 and 3 because it was further back and <br /> would give the campus more of a park feel. <br /> Planning Commission Minutes Page 6 of 8 November 18, 2020 <br />with the City. <br /> Commissioner Allen asked if the company was planning on keeping all three locations in the <br /> City or if they would consolidate after the opening of the proposed campus.
