AGENDA ITEM 7 E STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser C. C. MEETING DATE: June 25, 2001 TOPIC: Resolution 01-85 Revised Building Design and Site Plan Condition of Approval North American Composites, 330 Apollo Drive ACTION REQUIRED: 3/5 BACKGROUND The City Council approved a minor subdivision and site and building plan for North American Composites on November 13, 2000. One of the conditions of approval was: 4. The precast concrete panels will be Fabcon Wide Rack 3/8" grooves at 3" O.C. with smooth concrete cattail design, or similar design. Decorative concrete block on the office portion of the building shall be either smooth burnished concrete block or rock -face block. This originated in a request by the Planning & Zoning Board to revisit -the building elevation along the freeway. Because this is a very visible location, the P & Z asked for some additional attention to aesthetics. In response, the applicant then submitted a revised south elevation that includes a custom "cattail" pattern in the concrete panels. Though the P & Z did not see the new pattern, the revision was included in the project review by the City Council and was specified in the condition of approval listed above. North American Composites has asked that this condition be deleted because of the cost of the custom design. Instead, they have submitted a design that includes a four -foot blue stripe across the top of the precast concrete panels. The panels have a raked finish, just like the original submittal. In addition, the design of the building has been revised somewhat. The office portion exterior will still be decorative concrete block. However, the standing seam metal roof on both portions of the building has been changed in the new design. Instead, the new proposed design has a flat roof for the warehouse portion. The office portion also has a flat roof, but the east elevation incorporates a peaked facade. • The footprint of the new design increases the footprint by about 500 sf, about a 2% change. Staff considers this a relatively minor change.
