Ms. Sen answered that staff currently does not have that information as these towers are shown only conceptually on the plans.

Ms. Sen confirmed that the garage would be available for the entertainment center as well as the future residents. She added that there is currently one owner and one developer of the site, however, they will move in the future toward an agreement when the residents move in or the property is separately platted. Commissioner Buffington asked whether there would be any security measures in the garage when the future residential component is added to the development. Ms. Sen explained that staff is not aware of any security measures being added at this time; however, she thought there would possibly be some kind of cameras or sensors in the garage. She added that the Commission would have a chance to look at this again when the site plan for the residential development is submitted for review and approval. 6
