The office portion exterior will be decorative concrete block, either smooth burnished concrete block or rock -faced block. The roof will be standing seam metal on both portions of the building. The building materials as submitted by the applicant are included in staff's recommended conditions of approval. The P &Z requested the applicant to revisit the building elevation along the freeway. Because this is a very visible location, the Board asked for some additional attention to aesthetics. The applicant submitted a revised south elevation that includes a custom "cattail" pattern in the concrete panels. The office entry and loading docks are on the east side of the building. An automatic gate will separate the front parking area from the loading area. A six -foot chain link fence will surround the rear parking and loading area. The trash area will be screened with masonry to match the office exterior. • Lighting Cut -sheet pictures of proposed light fixtures show shoebox or hooded fixtures. The original submittal included one unacceptable fixture that was not completely hooded. That fixture was replaced and all fixtures are now acceptable. The lighting photometric plan indicates that lighting will meet City maximum of 1 foot candle at the center line of a public street. • Signage Signage is governed by the City's sign ordinance and permits are required for all signs. All signs will be reviewed with the sign permit applications. • Landscaping The subinitted landscaping plan is extensive and includes numerous native plants. The applicant submitted a revised plan to respond to the City Environmental Specialist's direction. The Environmental Specialist has approved the revised plan, and recommends that the applicant submit a copy of a maintenance agreement for the native plantings.
