Costco site plan design exception
The Costco planned at 3650 W. University Drive needs a design exception to its site plan. This could affect the store's layout, landscaping, or appearance along a major corridor.

Costco's request exposed a gap in the city's landscape rules: turf and rock already exist on the site, and the code limits non-living material to 50%. Staff said upcoming UDC updates would allow more xeriscaping but prohibit artificial materials.
