The Applicant previously requested flexibility from the 75% desirable materials requirement on the south building elevation where there is an existing tall parapet wall above an existing overhang. The Applicant states that there is a concern about this parapet wall's ability to accept additional weight from desirable materials such as brick masonry, tile masonry, or natural stone. The approved south elevation includes metal panels used on the existing parapet wall and the materials for the elevation would consist of 63% desirable materials and 37% accent materials. This flexibility was granted as part of the previous PUD. With the PUD Amendment, the Applicant requests flexibility from the 75% desirable materials requirements on the west and north building elevation that were approved in the PUD. The Applicant is proposing to paint the existing concrete block exterior materials with paint on these elevations in lieu of the approved brick veneer, resulting in a reduction in preferred materials. The Applicant has noted that these locations are less visible to the public and the proposed paint would be a color similar to the brick veneer installed on the other elevations. The Applicant has stated by allowing this flexibility, they can ensure the project remains within budget while still delivering a visually appealing and functional event center. The existing west elevation and its visibility to the public are shown in Attachment F. If these flexibilities in building materials are granted, the Applicant will have met the 75% threshold with desired materials on two elevations based on the calculated use of brick veneer and transparent glass. The Applicant states that the exterior would equal 61% desirable materials and 39% accent materials for the building as a whole. The Applicant has stated in their narrative that the portions of the building visible to the public (east and south elevations) exterior finishes would equal 86% desirable materials and 14% accent materials.
