<br /> <br /> <br />Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />During the discussions, Council asked staff to review spandrel glass and determine if it could be <br />illuminated to appear as an active storefront when viewed from an adjacent public street. Upon <br />review it was determined that spandrel glass should not be illuminated. Unlike typical window <br />glass, which is meant to be transparent, spandrel glass is designed to be opaque in order to help <br />hide features between the floors of a building, including vents, wires, slab ends and mechanical <br />equipment. If the intent is to have the space to look occupied by illumination, spandrel glass <br />should not be used. <br /> <br />Following a discussion, Council and staff concurred that the existing ordinance shall not be <br />amended and that the existing language in subsection A and shown below provides the city the <br />authority to wave the transparency requirements when privacy concerns are warranted otherwise <br />all windows shall consist of transparent glass. <br /> <br />“Fifty percent (50%) of all first level building façades that front a public street <br />shall be comprised of transparent windows or doors in order to allow views of <br />interior uses and activities. Transparency requirement may be waived by the City <br />where privacy concerns warrant.” <br /> <br />Next Steps <br /> <br />Based on the direction provided by the City Council, staff will bring this item to the January or <br />February Planning Commission for review. <br /> <br />Budget Impact <br /> <br />NA <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />A. 1325.05 Design Standards Subd 8.
