was based on direction received from the Council at a study session held on June 9. Specific
discussion was held requiring that townhomes include a two -stall garage not less than 400 square
feet, incorporating banding into the exterior design, and requiring windows, offsets and roof
articulation affect a minimum of 20% of the fagade.
