RE: Staff Report
P &Z Meeting, September 19, 2002
Following this coversheet is a copy of the Staff Report that was prepared for the following
project. Please keep in mind that staff's responsibility is to provide the Planning & Zoning
Commission with all pertinent facts of a development case, but that staff is not acting as an
advocate for the applicants. Therefore, it is in the applicant's best interest to send a
representative to the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to speak on behalf of the
proposal.
This item is scheduled for the Thursday, September 19, 2002 Planning & Zoning
Commission Meeting. This meeting will begin at 7:00 P.M. in City Hall Council
Chambers. I have included a copy of the agenda for this meeting. Please contact our
office at (979)764 -3570 if you should have any questions. Thanks.

attention.
The second issue for consideration regards a color change made to the building facade.
The owners of this shopping center have recently repainted the awning burgundy from
green. This item has not been reviewed by the DRB.
