§§3.1 (B)(4)
Form and Mass
The Commission should discuss if the revised storefront design
continues to provide a sense of human scale and proportion with
pedestrian oriented features. One storefront entry is eliminated from the
original design and replaced with a portico element to retain the wall
articulation and visual interest it provided. A new portico element at the
El Mercado service entry provides additional articulation to that
elevation, consistent with a similar feature at the other end of the
building (at the Sprouts market).
§3.2 (D)(2)
Exterior Wall Materials
Predominant exterior building materials must be of high quality (e.g.
brick, tinted/textured stucco, and tile accents). Concrete masonry units
may be appropriate in limited areas as building accents.
The revised design uses the same approved stucco EIFS material as the
predominant exterior material, in a similar color palette, and continues
the limited use of CMU along the base as building accent. A modular
brick material is now used for the storefront entry.
§3.2 (D)(7)
Design Continuity
The approved design incorporated a consistent color palette and use of
storefront entries, windows, wall offsets, and projecting wall features to
visually unify the buildings without creating monotony. The revised
design continues to use the same color palette, with the addition of a
limited amount of modular brick material that is red in color. It provides
a new portico feature as a projecting wall element in place of the deleted
entry, to retain articulation of the wall surface at this location for variety
and visual interest.
