He <br /> explained that there are two specific areas of the current plan which staff would <br /> recommend revisions. Gaffron encouraged the Planning Commission to reach a <br /> conclusion on the Comp Plan Amendment, review any rezoning concerns or stipulations <br /> they wish to place on the PUD, and spend time reviewing the development aspects of the <br /> site, providing staff with any concerns to be addressed regarding building design and <br /> styling, landscaping, lighting, signage, etc. <br /> PAGE 2 of 19 <br />
