Staff Planner Lauren Hovde presented the staff report stating that Section 7.9.B.3 "Building
Material" limits the use of wood siding to 30% of any facade. The applicant requested to
utilize wood grain screen on 49% of the east facade of a laboratory building located within

motion, which passed unopposed. (4-0)
