3. The plan set needs to include permanent and temporary drainage courses and structures.
4. Address all visual clearance and sight distance triangle areas per Section 3.2.1(L) of the Land Use
Code, they have not been shown.
5. The following comments apply to the architectural design of the buildings:
a. Section 3.5.1(A)-(H) requires a building to achieve compatible design characteristics. To
improve the architectural massing and scale of the structures, revisions to the submitted
elevation are needed and/or clarified. Please see the attached redlined architectural
elevations.
b. Section 3.5.1(F)(3)(c) requires that windows must be placed to visually establish human scale
and proportion and must be individually defined with detail elements such as frames, sills and
lintels. It appears that the window types and placements that you have proposed may not
meet these requirements (see redlined Architectural Elevations).
c. The doors do not have sufficient aesthetic articulation. Please incorporate the door into the
fagade treatment elements including such details as whether they are glass, wood and/or
metal.
d. Please note all color schemes on elevation plan sheet with color chips.
e. Please note all typical building materials on the proposed elevations.
6. Per LUC Section 3.2.1(D)(2) street trees shall be placed at thirty-foot to forty -foot spacing intervals
three (3) to seven (7) feet behind the sidewalk adjacent to Mason Street. The trees shall be placed
at least eight (8) feet away from the edges of driveways and alleys, and forty feet (shade
trees)/fifteen feet (omamental trees) (LUC 3.2.1(K) from any street light.
7. Provide a detail (including color scheme) for all fence designs, all fences and walls need to meet
LUC Section 3.8.11.
8. Section 3.5.1(J) (2)&(3) require that utility meters, HVAC equipment, vaults, irrigation boxes,
transformers, and other utility service functions (such as conduits, and vents) shall be located and
screened so that the visual and acoustic impacts of these functions are fully contained and out of
view of the adjacent properties and public streets. Please provide a sketch of the building
complete with all of the utility elements and the proposed screening so it can be determined
whether or not these requirements are being met. There is currently not enough information
provided to make this determination.
9. The 12 feet wide easement for future transit corridor connection seems to have been de-
emphasized and needs to be enhanced with a concrete pathway designed and improved to City
standards. This walkway is a very important link to the surrounding area, and must meet all access
and circulation provisions of the Land Use Code (see Transportation Planning comments).
10. The proposed plan does not comply with Land Use Code Section 3.2.2(C)(1)Safety Considerations
(a) and (b) requiring pedestrian separation from vehicles and bicycles to the maximum extent
feasible. The functional integrity of the walkway needs to be enhanced.' Per Sections 3.2.2(A) —
(F) the proposed project development plan has not sufficiently demonstrated an interrelation of
pedestrian, vehicular and bicycle circulation ways and how the developments plan contribute to a
cohesive, continuous and functional link within the surrounding area and integration of
pedestrian/vehicular separation through the parking lot from the north entrance (see Transportation
Planning comments).
11. Provide a detailed lighting plan (spec. sheet for all lighting fixtures) insuring that all lighting
apparatuses are,shielded down meeting meets Sections 3.2.2 and 3.2A(A) — (D).
