To date, staff has not received any comments.

Staff also suggests the site design, building design, and massing are appropriate for the site and the Design Review criteria can be met. Staff requests the Council review the proposal and hear all public testimony on the project. Staff recommends the Council: 1. Adopt the attached resolution (Attachment 1), making the criteria for PMC Section 18.20 (Design Review), approving the appeal and application P20-1053, subject to the attached conditions of approval. 2. Approve the attached in -lieu parking agreement (Attachment 2), approving an in - lieu fee for one parking space. Alternatively, the Council cannot support the in -lieu parking agreement and can deny the application, adopting the denial resolution (Attachment 7). Page 8 of 9
