The first component was lighting in residential areas and the impact it has on residential properties and the second was living walls impacting the view into lakes. The Planning Commission at its last meeting broke the text amendment into two pieces. The lighting issue will continue to be reviewed by the Planning Commission. Before the Council tonight is the living wall component. Page 17 of 24
