Project Planner: Steve Stafford Staff Report This was a Conceptual Review, so no vote was taken. The following comments were made by the Board: • Property boundaries shown on site plan do not appear to be accurate; need a site survey and show all easements on site plan • Show required bio-retention on landscape plans • Site is a ‘gateway’ site to Terra Linda; need more landscaping, particularly along the Freitas Pkwy frontage • Relocate mini-mart bldg. further south, away from the Freitas Pkwy frontage • Relocate the new trash enclosure from the south bldg. elevation to the north bldg. elevation and connect to mini-mart • Eliminate up to two (2) proposed parking spaces on south bldg. elevation and request a Parking Modification • Expand landscape planter islands along the south and east property boundaries • Provide reduced (20-30 foot candles) lighting levels under fuel canopy; flush-mountg fixtures • Do not illuminate fuel canopy fascia with LED • Use light fixtures with reduced 3000 Kelvin lighting rather than 5000 Kelvin • Match the same high-quality exterior materials on the new trash enclosure as the new mini-mart bldg. • Overall bldg. architecture needs improvement such as additional forms, materials, fenestration, particularly along the Freitas Pkwy frontage. Take a look at the Rite-Aid bldg. as an example. • Planting palette is very good.
