She asked the appearance of fairness questions. There were no disclosures, <br />and no objections to any oftheCommissioners hearing the project. <br />Staff asked the applicants, Jeff Phinney and Lisa Klein to introduce themselves. <br />Staff provided an overview of the site, existing development, and criteria for the Design Review, <br />Conditional Use Permit and Variance request. Staff noted that the Conditional Use Permit and the <br />Variance are normally heard by the Hearing Examiner. However, Municipal Code Title 18 allows <br />for consolidation of the permit requests. Therefore, the Board of Architectural Review heard and <br />made the decision for all three requests. <br />There are changes to the site plan alternative on the north side of the campus, next to the relocated <br />fire lane. The proposed site plan alternative will be constructed later if funding and needs allow. At <br />staff's recommendation the applicant submitted the site plan alternative simultaneously with their <br />application. The Municipal Code does not allow changes to the Conditional Use Permit without <br />another public hearing. Therefore, staff said in the essence of time and money it would be nice if <br />the Commission reviewed the site plan and the site plan alternative and consider both. <br />Jeff Phinney, the Architect for the applicant, addressed questions for the Commission. <br />11 <br />
