| | PLEASE PROVIDE RESPONSES TO THE COMMENTS IN WRITING |
| | |
| | 1) THE CITYPLACE MASTER DESIGN GUIDELINES REQUIRE THAT |
| | THE BUILDING DESIGN CHARACTER IS BASED ON THE |
| | HISTORICAL MEDITERRANEAN STYLE. THE PLANNING STAFF HAS |
| | REVIEWED THE PROPOSED EXTERIOR RENOVATIONS AND DOES NOT |
| | FIND THAT THE FOLLOWING ITEMS COMPLY WITH THE MASTER |
| | DESIGN GUIDELINES: |
| | |
| | A. THE MASTER DESIGN GUIDELINES REQUIRE THAT PRIMARY |
| | BUILDING MATERIALS BE LIGHT-COLORED STUCCO. THE |
| | PROPOSED GIBRALTAR COLOR IS DARK, WHICH IS NOT |
| | CONSISTENT WITH THE GUIDELINES, OR THE EXISTING |
| | CONDITION OF THE REMAINDER OF THE BUILDING. THERE IS A |
| | LIGHT COLOR GRAY USED ON THE ENTRANCE TO THE |
| | RESIDENTIAL PORTION OF THE BUILDING, WHICH DOES COMPLY |
| | WITH THE GUIDELINES. |
| | B. THE COLOR RENDERING PROVIDED WITH THE PERMIT SHOWS |
| | BRICK CLADDING AT THE ALLEY ENTRANCE. THIS BRICK DOES |
| | NOT COMPLY WITH THE HISTORICAL MEDITERRANEAN STYLE. |
| | STAFF DID NOT SEE THIS ON THE PARTIAL EAST ELEVATION, |
| | SO PLEASE EXPLAIN THE DISCREPANCY. |
| | |
| | 2) STAFF HAS THE FOLLOWING CONCERNS REGARDING THE VINES |
| | PROPOSED TO BE GROWN ON THE FACADE: |
| | |
| | A. THIS TYPE OF WALL TREATMENT IS NOT LOCATED ELSEWHERE |
| | WITHIN CITYPLACE AND IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN THE |
| | GUIDELINES. |
| | B. THE CITY'S LANDSCAPE PLANNER IS CONCERNED THAT THE |
| | PROPOSED VINES WILL REQUIRE EXCESSIVE MAINTENANCE. HE |
| | SUGGESTS USING ITALIAN CYPRESS IN FRONT OF THE COLUMNS. |
| | ITALIAN CYPRESS IS LOW MAINTENANCE AND ITS USE IN FRONT |
| | OF THE FACADE WILL CREATE THE DEPTH AND SHADOWS THAT |
| | THE GUIDELINES REQUIRE. |
