ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. The 2 lots must be consolidated into 1 lot by a lot line adjustment, otherwise, the project does not meet the specific plan’s required 10 foot side yard building setback along the interior lot line. In this project, a building crosses the interior lot line and has no side yard setback where 10 feet is required. The City’s Landscape Manual requires an 8 foot wide landscape strip along the exterior perimeter of all parking lots and a 5 foot wide planter island at the end of all parking lot aisles. (See the marked plan for more details) The Planning Department recommends that all reference to signs be taken of the site plan. The signs are not required to be approved by the Planning Commission as part of the site development plan approval process. The project will be conditioned to require a comprehensive sign program approved by the Planning Director. The proposed project does not comply with the building height standards of the specific plan. The building height limit for the project is a maximum of 30 feet measured from finished arade to the peak of the roof. To visually enhance the project in keeping with the high architectural standards of the area, the Planning Department recommends that some of the building walls and elevations be further enhanced with design elements, including but not limited to articulated wall planes, inset windows, window enhancement, and architectural accent features. The specific plan requires that special attention shall be given to the architectural details of all west facing building elevations (See the marked plans for more specific comments). Engineering: 1.

This requirement will be conditioned to be completed and recorded prior to issuance of a grading permit. Ultimate intersection spacing shall comply with the standards established in the approved Specific Plan for the Car Country expansion (minimum 300 feet apart). 2.
