<br />the addition of development standards for perimeter fencing,
<br />the development standards for the SD-58 District remain
<br />unchanged with proposed the SD-58 amendment. Additionally,
<br />no change in density or building height is proposed for SD-58.
<br />The proposed buildings would be consistent with or shorter
<br />than the heights of the existing buildings. Overall, the scale
