Additionally, material treatments are applied to all four sides equally. • Building entrances: building entrances are required to be are clearly defined and visible. The applicant has proposed a building entrance that is the focal point of the building. The building entrance projects further outward than the primary façade and includes additional architectural elements and decorative lighting. • Building materials and design: Buildings are required to be constructed of high- quality materials and a variation of building materials and accent materials are to be used. The applicant is proposing to use two primary materials on the building: engineered wood siding and a cultured stone veneer. Proposed elevations show the cultured stone veneer in natural colors as a horizontal band on the lowest two-and-a-half feet of façade. Above the stone veneer, a medium brown engineered wood siding is proposed in a traditional lap style. The traditional lap style extends the entire vertical distance of the building windows. Above the medium brown engineered wood siding, a dark brown band of engineered wood siding is proposed. The siding in this band is proposed as a “shake” style. Between each horizontal band of material proposed on the building façade is a thin band of white engineered wood siding. The wood banding also frames the windows. An engineered wood siding is proposed in a fourth color, a cream, in a vertical band style, inset into proposed roof dormers on all four building facades. The colored elevations provided by the applicant do not match the material samples provided. As rendered, the materials appear to be lighter shades of browns and creams. Sample material shades were significantly darker. Staff met with the applicant on May 28th to discuss architectural changes. Staff has included a condition that the final building design and material palette be approved by staff prior to issuance of building permit. Fencing Section 90-220 of the City Code requires all exterior play areas for day care facilities to be surrounded by a minimum six- foot-tall fence.

Plans must be revised to comply with the six-foot height minimum for fencing. Lighting The ordinance requires lighting to consist of cut-off fixtures and for light cast on adjacent property and roads not to exceed ½ foot candle measured at the property line or 1-foot candle measured at the street’s centerline. The developer has submitted a lighting plans with a mix of ground-mounted light poles and building lighting. The fixture shown in the northern parking lot island exceeds the ½ foot candle measurement at the north property line. Plans must be revised to show compliance with the ordinance. The applicant must also provide lighting fixture cut sheets and pole details to ensure cut-off fixture requirements are met. The maximum height of parking lot lighting adjacent to residential uses is 20 feet. It appears that the proposed pole lights are 27 feet tall. Staff recommends that all
