Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes September 7, 2022

 change. Ms. Finck responded it was an update to the corporate branding.
 Commissioner McDaniel asked about the prior color of the storefront. Ms.
 Finck responded it was previously yellow. Chairman Losurdo asked about
 how the prior yellow color was permitted. Staff responded that the prior
 yellow color was preexisting nonconforming and may have predated the
 Design Standards.

 Commissioner Van Someren stated that the language of the Design
 Standards includes flexibility depending upon the architectural style and
 context of the building and noted the amount of siding for this tenant space
 is minimal. Commissioner Robbins stated the accent color percentage as
 written in the Design Standards is based on the building face and not the
 tenant space. Commissioner Robbins noted the Downtown has started to
 embrace more color and that there needs to be reconsideration of what is
 acceptable for building colors/accent colors.Chairman Losurdo concurred
 with Commissioner Robbins and stated a lot of buildings in the Downtown
 have begun using more color and does not have an issue with the color
 today.

 Commissioner Athanikar and Commissioner Castagnoli voiced support for
 Benefit Cosmetics maintaining the existing color. The Commission found
 the percentage should be calculated based on the entire building and not
 the tenant space.


 A motion was made by Commissioner Robbins, seconded by Commissioner Van
 Someren to concur with the petitioner to overturn the Zoning Administrators
 decision with respect to the façade at 214 S. Main Street and maintain Benefit
 Cosmetics pink storefront.

 Aye: 6- Athanikar, Castagnoli, Losurdo, McDaniel, Robbins, and Van Someren

 Absent: 2- King, and Richelia
