Commission approves exception to rooftop HVAC screening for Encore Wire expansion
Summary
The commission approved a design exception permitting rooftop HVAC equipment to remain visible at an Encore Wire industrial expansion (Airport/Industrial area), finding the industrial context and prior Encore phases made screening unnecessary; the motion passed unanimously.
Araceli, the city's planner, explained Encore Wire is requesting a design exception to remove rooftop HVAC-screening requirements for a light-industrial expansion at the northeast corner of Airport and Industrial. Staff recommended approval, saying the expansion sits in an industrial area where similar exceptions have been granted.
Antonio Williamson, the project's engineer, told the commission Encore has taken similar design approaches in earlier phases and that the rooftop equipment would match the facility's existing service-center design. When asked about wall height on the airport-facing side, Williamson said it was "37 and change" feet.
After brief questions from commissioners about sight lines, Commissioner Lebo moved to close the hearing and approve the exception; Commissioner McWilliams seconded and the vote was unanimous, 6–0. The approval allows the applicant to proceed with the site plan subject to standard permitting and any required civil reviews.
