Building Height - Meets Requirements <br /> The maximum height for buildings in the B-1 Limited Business District is 35 feet The <br /> proposed building height for the Welcome Center is 17 feet 5.5 inches to the peak of the <br /> structure. <br /> 4. Landscape Lot Area - Meets requiremenls wilh conditions . <br /> While this proposal will increase the cosmetic appeal of the structure and potentially reduce <br /> congestion during special events, it will result in the loss of several trees near the road. The <br /> B-1 Zonc requires 25 percent landscaped area. The relatively minor alterations in this project <br /> are unlikely to affect the landscaping requirement for the entire campus.

Specific details and applications for <br /> these signs have not been submitted. This evaluation does not include a recommendation <br /> regarding these potentia] signs.
