The City Planner has completed a review of your application for a Consistency Determination, (APN:
223-050-72-00), which is a modification to the architectural design of Building 11 within the La Costa

theme of the center to suit the proposed tenant.
• Minor building position change to widen the drive thru lane by two feet.

of the west building elevation towards the south end of the west elevation
• Decrease the height of the main flat architectural roof parapet element by five feet
(from 25 feet to 20 feet).
• The elimination of a 43 foot tall tower element. The building now incorporates three
lower tiled roof tower elements on three of the four building elevations.
• Decrease the main building store front entry feature height from 33 feet to 27 feet 4
inches.
