Denial (5-2) with Commissions McCaffrey, Kittrell, Halsey, Borchgardt
and Reese voting in favor of denial. Commissioners Milosevich and Foreman opposed.
Denial is recommended, based on:
This project does not adhere to the stated purpose and intent, or the regulations, of the Highway
Commercial District.
The industrial nature of this project, in terms of uses and choice of building materials and design,
including the lack of specificity to the ratio of assembly/warehouse/office, is in direct conflict to the
efforts of the City to encourage commercial/office/hotel and similar freeway oriented uses along S.H.
121.
The negative impact that this development (proximity of loading areas and lack of screening) will have
on Forest Hill Drive and the residential areas beyond.
The deficits in the proposed landscaping and screening, lack of commitment about site, parking lot and
building lighting.

2004. On February 24th, Council voted to continue this Public Hearing to its meeting on April 13, 2004.
NOTE: A 3/4 vote of Council is needed to overturn the Commission's recommendation of denial.
See attached letter of appeal dated December 22, 2003, from Demian Salmon, Dan Anderson & Stacy Standridge.
