CITY OF CENTERVILLEREQUEST FOR ACTION Agenda Item # Department: RequestedMeetingDate: September 3, 2024 Planning and Zoning VII.1 TITLE OF ISSUE: Proposed Building Materials Review - Texturewall Panel System BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: City Code Chapter 156.040 (P) states: "Industrial exterior building materials. Industrial buildings are required to be constructed of brick, decorative block or approved textured masonry product. Pole barn type buildings are not allowed." Over the past 20 years or more, tip-up style masonry panels have been widely used and accepted as an "approved masonry product". The product being proposed (Texturewall) looks and functions much like masonry tip-up panels except they are constructed of steel, with a hard aggregate-fiber-reinforced polymer finish. The purpose of the city code is two-fold: aesthetics and enduring taxable value. Traditional metal pole buildings or the use of metal exteriors often leads to lower taxable value and a decline in value over time. Staff has reviewed these panels and consulted with our city appraisers and conclude that the panels will look similar to and hold value as much as their masonry tip-up panel counterparts. Approval is recommended by staff. COST AND SOURCE(S) OF FUNDING: N/A REQUESTED ACTION: Motion to approve Texturewall and similar products as acceptable exterior materials for industrial buildings.
