Case: Briggs Professional Suites, 26-1921  
5.A  
Boardmember Miltimore moved; seconded by Boardmember Rush to  
recommend approval of the Concept Design Review with the following  
conditions:  
1. Provide architectural renderings of the solid waste enclosure at the time of  
building permit, showing consistency with materials and detailing of the main  
structure.  
2. Screen building-mounted and freestanding utility and other equipment by  
painting building-mounted equipment to match the building, adding  
landscaping, or through other methods to minimize visibility. This condition  
will be assessed by staff at the time of engineering and building permit review.  
3. Provide renderings of landscaping along the east and west frontages at  
maturity to ensure plantings will adequately screen the parking lot. Staff may  
require revisions to the plan to add taller plants or a screening wall.  
4. Show and call out elements to meet Briggs façade requirements on page 16  
(window and entry treatments, building element details, and building materials  
and other elements; six elements per façade) in architectural plans. This  
condition will be assessed by staff at the time of building permit review.
