Council approves minor site plan amendment allowing exterior changes for Lot 607 (Sephora)
Summary
The council unanimously approved a major site plan amendment to reconcile an exterior tenant change for Lot 607 (proposed Sephora) after staff found exterior materials did not match the approved plan.
The City Council unanimously approved a major site plan amendment Sept. 16 for Lot 607 in the Saratoga Springs commercial plat F to accommodate tenant exterior changes associated with a proposed Sephora location.
Planning staff told the council the amendment was required after a tenant‑improvement permit review showed the building exterior did not match the previously approved elevations. Staff characterized the change as minor, noting that the material percentages changed only a few points (white “moonlight” EFS from 25% to 22% and black increased from 2% to 6%), and that the planning commission had recommended approval.
Council members asked whether the revised grade or pending ordinance changes would create a visible grade difference between nonresidential and nearby residential properties; staff confirmed the lot is not adjacent to any residential zone. After brief questions, the council moved to approve the major site plan amendment “with any staff findings and conditions.” Vote: Wadman — Aye; Karn — Aye; Wilden — Aye; Palmer — Aye; Barton — Aye. Motion passed unanimously.
Thomas Linehart of Westlake Partners LLC was identified in the staff report as the applicant for Lot 607.
