October 2, 2012; City Council approved a variance to the tree preservation ordinance to allow approximately 33% of the tree cover. In the original site plan several trees located adjacent to Building ‘A’ were designated to be saved, but upon completion of the final construction plans, it was determined that some of the trees near the foundation of the building, in the detention pond and in the area of the sidewalk along Watermere Drive could not be preserved.

October 12, 2013; the building permit issued for Building ‘A’ June 3, 2014; City Council approved a Zoning Change and Site Plan from “O-1” Office District to “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan District to allow up to an 8,000 square foot ambulatory surgery center in Building ‘A’ as a permitted use, allow up to a 2,000 square foot compounding pharmacy on the site, and to allow the addition of the covered drop off and generator enclosure Building “A”.
