Sergio Klotz also provided a description of the Sycamore Garage project and a status update. Discussion held regarding the parking needs of the downtown area. Ms. Nelson commented that the garage will provide needed parking for several buildings and make them more attractive to prospective tenants. Commission suggestions included keeping the building height down as much as possible, enhance the landscaping and lighting, covering the walls with vines to deter graffiti, and making more permanent upgraded improvements to the existing surface parking lot on Broadway.. C F. OBJECTIVE #9 -DEVELOP HISTORIC DISTRICT PROCESS Objective update provided by Charles View. He noted that process guidelines were identified as due by May 2002. The Commission had identified Logan as the next district they wished to review and a survey was due by June 2002. Using the Broadway district as a model, staff will work with the Commission to identify preliminary boundaries and, based on those preliminary boundaries, do a field visit to see what is there. A work/study session will follow to create draft standards and guidelines. Staff will then use the draft to create an action item to be brought to the Commission and then to the Planning Commission and City Council as was done with Broadway. Using the Broadway model for design standards will create guidelines for use by staff and the Planning Commission to evaluate new construction but will not create a new construction review component for the Historic Resources Commission. He advised the Commission that if that was a consideration that they wish to bring back up they should advise staff, as it is not part of what has been modeled. The Commission recessed at 5:40 p.m. for 10 minutes. PUBLIC HEARINGS PROCEDURAL RULES 1.
