Planning Division
Site Planning Issues
1) The applicant proposed alternative entry paving designs for the primary
entrance from 4th Street. The Committee preferred the Alternative"A."
Alternative"A" incorporates pavers and scored concrete a pattern that
is carried up the entire length of the entrance way to the front entrance
to the building.
The alternative allows the parking in the north portion of the entry aisle
to remain; however, the walkway, that would not only serve the
handicap parking stalls, but also directs customers from the southern

portion of the parking lot to the building entrance, is also identified with
a paver, with numerous tree well pockets. The Committee preferred to
define the walkway using bollards, rather than wheel stops. Final
design shall be reviewed and approved by the Design Review
Committee.
Building Design Issues
1) The Committee accepted the proposed large split-face block material
as described by the architect and referred to as "Cathedral Stone."
However, the Committee wanted the use of the material expanded to
include all large columns along all elevations of the building. The
Committee also indicated that the north and west elevations of the
building require additional architectural definition. Final elevations shall
be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Committee.
2) The loading dock area shall be screened or buffered from public viewto
the satisfaction of the Design Review Committee.
3) Screening of the roof-mounted equipment from public view is required
and shall be provided to the satisfaction of the Design Review
Committee.
4) The support columns and canopy at the gas station shall use the same
materials as the primary building and characterize the same building
theme to the satisfaction of the Design Review Committee.
5) The architect shall supply a sample of all proposed building materials
and colors for review and approval by the Design Review Committee.
6) All roll-up and man doors shall be painted to match the adjacent
building color.
Landscapelssues
1) All landscape planters and tree wells shall be separated from the paved
surface with a curb. All transformers, water valves, and similar items
shall be placed within appropriate landscape areas and screened with
shrubbery.
2) Landscaping shall be placed along the north elevation of the building
(5-foot minimum width) and at the northwest comer of the building.
3) The automobiles and fuel dispensing pumps at the gas station shall be
screened from view from 4th Street. The screening may be
accomplished through a combination of retaining and/or low screen
walls and berming. Landscaping alone is not an adequate screening
measure. The screening shall be illustrated through the use of a cross-
section to the satisfaction of the Design Review Committee.

Environmental Mitigation
Air Quality
1) The site contractor shall select the construction equipment used on-site
based on low-emission factors and high-energy efficiency. The
construction contractor shall ensure that Construction-Grading Plans
include a statement that all construction equipment will be tuned and
maintained in accordance with manufacturer's specifications. This will

equipment in-lieu of gasoline-powered engines where feasible. This
reduction in NOx and PM10 emissions is not quantifiable.

4) The construction contractor shall use low VOC asphalt and
architectural coatings. This will result in a 5 percent decrease in ROG
emissions during paving and painting activities.
5) The contractor shall water exposed ground surfaces a minimum of
twice daily to suppress fugitive dust. This will result in a 70 percent
decrease in PM10 emissions.
6) The contractor shall water unpaved access roads, and paved roads
where they join unpaved roads, a minimum of twice daily to minimize
dust entrainment. This will decrease PM10 emissions by 3 percent.
7) The contractor shall set and enforce a maximum speed limit below 15
miles per hour on all unpaved portions of the site. This will reduce
PM10 emissions by up to 70 percent.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom
and when compliance will be reported.
3. The MMP has been designed to provide focused, yet flexible guidelines. As monitoring
progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon
recommendations by those responsible for the program.
Program Management- The MMP will be in place through all phases of the project. The project
planner, assigned by the City Planner, shall coordinate enforcement of the MMP. The project
planner oversees the MMP and reviews the Reporting Forms to ensure they are filled out correctly
