The applicant is requesting an exemption from the above-noted standards due to the type of
structure proposed and the intent to re-purpose a shipping/storage container. Modifications to
the structure are proposed consisting of awnings, windows and a glass overhead door; however,
the applicant wishes to retain the general character of the structure with minimal changes as
they feel re-purposing the structure as a library is the social and environmental thing to do.
Different applications of paint colors will be used to give interest to the structure; specific
colors will be defined at a later date through a subsequent modification to this approval.

Rather than changes to the structure to be more pedestrian oriented, several benches are
proposed as well as concrete planters in the plaza area around the library.
Staff feels the design of the proposed structure and site is creative and unique, while re-
purposing an existing structure for a greater use, and finds the proposed design meets the intent
of the Architectural Standards Manual.
The site is located at 5155 S. Howry Lane.
