WHEREAS, the City Council, in its Ordinance No. G25-08, has designated portions of
the Randall Point Executive Center Subdivision and Randall Point Executive Center II
Subdivision as part of the Randall Road/I 90 Area of Special Character (the "Randall Road/I 90

findings and recommendation that the requested special regulations for street graphics be denied;
and

Subdivision and Randall Point Executive Center II Subdivision are consistent with the unique
''' character and unique use of the Randall Road/I 90 Area of Special Character and departures from
