BACKGROUND: On August 25, 1993, the Planning Commission reviewed the revised elevations for Buildings X and Y. The Con~nission found Building Y acceptable but felt Building X needed refinement. The Commission then approved Building Y with the condition that Building X be subject to further review. Attached for the Commission's reference are copies of the approval letter with the conditions of approval for Development Review 93-13 and the draft minutes of the meeting for August 25, 1993. The applicant has refined the elevations of Building X by adding plaster trim with scored lines to resemble pre-cast concrete trim around the arches at the north and south sides of the building. Two smaller pre-cast concrete medallions were added to the north elevation. STAFF COMMENTS: Staff reviewed the revised elevations and determined that the applicant has improved them per the Co~ission's direction. However, staff feels that the elevations can be further enhanced by the following treatment: The proposed plaster trim with scored lines around the arches at the north and south elevations should be changed to pre-cast concrete material. 2. Pre-cast concrete trim should be added to the east and west sides of the south gable entry. 3. Pre-cast concrete trim should be added to the arch at the east elevation. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission review the revised elevation. If the Commission finds it to be acceptable and concurs with staff's recommendation, then approval of Building X through minute action would be appropriate.

Nancy Fong, Senior Planner, presented the staff report. Tom Bond, Architects Pacifica, architect for Western Properties, described to the Commission the changes he had made to buildings X and Y. Commissioner Vallette stated that both buildings need to have additional architectural embellishments such as stone treatment around arches, windows, etc., similar to the approved elevations. Commissioner Tolstoy remarked that the west elevation of building X still looked like the back side of a building. Commissioner Melcher felt that this west elevation was accep%able. Chairman McNiel agreed with Commissioner Tolstoy's comment on the west elevation. Commissioner Melcher questioned whether the proposed location of the trash enclosure area is appropriate so close to Foothill Boulevard. Mike Lasley, Western Properties, stated the locations is shown on the original approved plans. D AFT FOR DISCUSSION PurPOSES ONLY Commissioner Tolstoy asked if the parking next to the trash enclosure will be for loading and unloading. Mike Lasley indicated that they can stripe the parking spaces next to the trash enclosure area as a loading space. Brad Buller, City Planner, suggested the Commission make a decision on Buildings X and Y. He suggested the Commission could come to a consensus to approve Building Y and to bring Building X back for another workshop. He pointed OUt that the Commission should provide direction to staff and the applicant regarding whether the proposed sign location for Leaps and Bounds at the south elevation of building Y is acceptable. He observed the approved sign program allows the sign to be located at the facia instead of the parapet wall. The consensus of the Commission was that the elevation for Building Y is acceptable. The majority of the Commission felt that the elevation for Building X needs improvement. Motion: Moved by Melcher, seconded by Vallette, carried 4-0-1 with Chitiea absent, to approve the revised elevations of Building Y; to direct the applicant to revise and resubmit Building X for Commission review at a future workshop; to find the sign location on the parapet wall of the south elevation of Building Y acceptable, so long as there is only one tenant, however, sign placement to revert to the facia (lower sign band area) consistent with the approved sign program when two or more tenants occupy the building; and to provide that all secondary issues identified in the August 11, 1993, staff report be approved by the City Planner.
