Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration. Project Proposal: The applicant proposes adding a 16,616 square foot single-story addition along the west elevation of an existing 76,405 square foot two-story office building. The addition will architecturally match the existing building and the entire building will be painted a new color scheme. The 9.73-acre project site is currently developed with four buildings totaling 274,110 square feet and 933 parking spaces. There will be 882 parking spaces remaining with the proposed Site Plan changes, which includes realigning one of the 9th Street drive entrances, leaving 175 parking spaces in excess of the minimum requirement. The parking lot landscaping adjacent to the addition will be enhanced with new tree planters to meet current Development Code standards. A wrought iron fence with decorative pilasters will be constructed around a portion of the parking lot in front (south) of the existing building to meet the security needs of the future tenant of the building. Staff Comments: The applicant has made all the changes recommended by staff, and the project meets all related Development Code requirements. The addition is designed to match the existing building, and the new parking lot landscaping will enhance the project as seen from 9th Street. The relocated vehicle entrance brings it into alignment with the existing public street to the south for improved vehicle safety. The proposed project, along with façade changes recently approved by the City for the other large building on the site, will modernize and greatly enhance the overall project. Maior Issues: None. Secondary Issues: None. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee approve the project as presented and forward it to the Planning Commission for final approval.
