Chair Wynn offered ten-minute recess. DRAFT Minutes – Architectural Review Commission for August 1, 2016 Page 7 COMMISSION DELIBERATION AND DISCUSSION Chair Wynn reiterated the Commission consensus, noting that it was premature for direction for landscaping, without adequate information. The Commission provided added direction which suggested conducting analyses with a broader perspective beyond tree removal and would specifically address the area’s habitat, biology, its view sheds, wildlife corridor, and the proposed green screen wall in an area without planters. Chair Wynn suggested that any changes to the development would return to a Cultural Heritage Committee Meeting and allow for recommendations prior to any review by the Commission. The Commission discussed the general material palette, whether materials and combinations were appropriate, and their overall relation to the compatibility with the Sandford House. Commissioner Root provided direction in regards to the Applicants, considering the durability and maintainability of the presented selected materials. On a Motion by Commissioner Soll, Seconded by Commissioner Root, the Commission voted unanimously to conduct the Hearing past 9:00 P.M. Chair Wynn provided direction in regards to reducing the bedroom count and building height, especially closest to Luneta Drive. The Commission discussed the articulation of north wall requiring variation beyond the smooth stucco between windows, wider walkways for increased room for pedestrian circulation, and maintaining the symbiosis created when the lower buildings are subservient to the Sandford House. Applicant Jess indicated he received all informational direction and required no further clarification. By consensus, the Commission provided no formal action and feedback to staff and Applicant through previously mentioned deliberations and discussion. COMMENT & DISCUSSION Commissioners Andreen and Root commented respectively on the Hearing process being less than ideal at certain points, but that it was ultimately invaluable, balanced, collaborative, and well- conducted by Chair Wynn.

SITE DATA Applicant San Luis Obispo Non-Profit Housing Corporation Complete Date August 3, 2016 Zoning R-3-SP General Plan Medium-High Density Residential within the Margarita Area Specific Plan Site Area 1.39 acres (60,548 s.f.) Environmental Status Mitigated Negative Declaration ER-120-13 City Council Resolution No. 10512 (2014 Series) SUMMARY The applicant, Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo (HASLO), is proposing to construct a new affordable housing project to provide the required affordable housing for the Serra Meadow Development (Tract #2342 & #2353). The project consists of four new buildings ranging between two and three stories that include 36 residential units (one unit dedicated for caretakers quarters), within the Margarita Area Specific Plan. The project has been designed to be consistent with the Community Design Guidelines (CDG) and the Margarita Area Specific Plan (MASP). The applicant is requesting a street yard setback reduction of 5-feet for a portion of one of the buildings along Violet Street, where a street yard setback of 15-feet is normally required, no other exceptions are requested as part of this application. Meeting Date: September 12, 2016 Item Number: 1 ARC1 - 1 ARCH-3370-2016 3175 Violet Street Page 2 1.0 COMMISSION’S PURVIEW The ARC’s role is to review the project in terms of its consistency with the Margarita Area Specific Plan (MASP), Community Design Guidelines (CDG) and applicable City policies and standards. 2.0 PROJECT INFORMATION 2.1 Site Information/Setting: Site Size 60,548 sq. ft.

Zoning Regulations Chapter 17.16.040K ARC1 - 2 ARCH-3370-2016 3175 Violet Street Page 3 3.0 BACKGROUND The project site is part of the Serra Meadows development, approved by the City Council on April 15, 2014 which included Condition #48 dedicating Lot 108 to fulfill the affordable housing requirement of the development of Tract 2342 and Tract 2353 (Attachment 5, City Council Resolution No. 10512 (2014 Series). The project site was conceptually reviewed by the ARC, on March 21, 2016, where the ARC considered several discussion items related to the project design, including the following (Attachment 4, Conceptual Review & Minutes); 1. Concerns for the reduced setbacks for the three-story structures along the front yard and side yard. 2. Concerns related to the maximum height of the structures as related to the building design. 3. Concerns related to the proposed parking lot for compliance with Site Planning & Other Design Details for Parking Facilities. After the ARC conceptual review on March 21, 2016 the applicant revised the project to comply with the maximum height requirements and limit the request for a setback reduction for only a small portion of Building 3 along Violet Street (Attachment 3 Project Plans). The applicant increased the amount of parking on site by seven parking spaces above the minimum requirement. The project design has been revised to preserve privacy and reduce concerns related to direct overlook toward the adjacent lower density residences by;  Eliminating balconies along Violet & Plum Streets  Providing additional landscaping along Violet and Plum Street for slope retention and screening  Providing greater setbacks along Plum Street  Variations in building heights from two to three stories for structures along the street frontage 4.0 PROJECT ANALYSIS The proposed development must be consistent with the requirements of the General Plan, Zoning Regulations, and applicable design standards of the Margarita Area Specific Plan (MASP) and Community Design Guidelines (CDG). Staff has evaluated the project’s consistency with relevant requirements and has found it to be in substantial compliance, as discussed in this analysis. 4.1 Consistency with the MASP and CDG The intent of the development standards identified in the MASP are to implement the Specific Plan’s vision of pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods consisting of a mix of land uses and a variety of housing types. The MASP identifies the Spanish architectural style as appropriate for all land uses within the Margarita Area and encourages flexibility in design with an emphases on details and construction materials leading to environmentally superior projects, including higher density and increased affordability. Site Plan: The CDG state that site planning should create a pleasant, comfortable, safe, and distinct place for residents. New development should respect the privacy of adjacent residential uses through appropriate building orientation and structure height (CDG, Chapter 5.4A). Multi-family housing should create a pleasant comfortable place for residences without the project “turning its back” on the surrounding neighborhood. ARC1 - 3 ARCH-3370-2016 3175 Violet Street Page 4 The proposed layout of the project site provides for efficient use of the available site area and existing topography by maximizing the number of residential units for the site, concealing required parking behind structures. The site plan provides outdoor courtyard space and adequate landscaping between the structures and parking areas. The site provides sufficient access and internal circulation for vehicles and pedestrians. The project’s parking area is not a dominant visual element of the site and is screened by buildings that are oriented toward the street providing private outdoor space interior to the project site for the residential units that respect the privacy of the adjacent lower density residential structures. The buildings along the Plum Street frontage have also been oriented with greater setbacks than what is required. Building Design: The CDG state that multi-family housing should be derived from architectural styles in the surrounding neighborhood, and should be designed to ensure that the height and bulk of higher density projects do not impact adjacent lower density residential areas (CDG, Chapter 5.4C). Structures with greater heights may require additional setbacks along the street frontage so they do not visually dominate the neighborhood. A structure with three or more attached units should incorporate significant wall and roof articulation to reduce apparent scale. The project has been designed with a Spanish architectural style that is consistent with the MASP that include features such as; stucco walls, low slope roof, mission tile, recessed exterior window faces, and arched openings. The structures demonstrate consistent use of colors, materials, and detailing throughout all elevations of the building. The design utilizes vertical wall articulation, offsets, and recessed windows to relieve the form and mass of the building. All elevations are visually interesting and receive interesting architectural treatments that enhance views of the structures from all views on and off site. The maximum height of each building within the project ranges between 25 feet and 35 feet, where 35 feet is the maximum height allowed for the R-3-SP zone. The buildings along the street frontage have been designed with building height variations between two and three stories and oriented in such a way that the portions of the structure with a larger mass have been provided with a greater setback from the street to reduce the visual dominance of the structures within the neighborhood. ARC1 - 4 ARCH-3370-2016 3175 Violet Street Page 5 4.2 Consistency with the Zoning Regulations and MASP Density: The applicant is requesting a density bonus of 35 percent consistent with Zoning Regulations Chapter 17.90 Affordable Housing Incentives. The site, zoned R-3-SP, has an allowed density of 27.8 units based on the site’s net acreage (20 units per acre). The applicant is proposing to utilize a density bonus that would increase the total number of density units to 37.53 (27 units per acre). The MASP limits the locations of density bonuses within Residential Development Areas due to the need of consistency with the County Airport Land Use Plan; density bonuses are only available in the areas identified in Figure 5 of the MASP. On April 20, 2016 the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) held a pre-application review and unanimously determined that the proposed density bonus for the project site was consistent with the ALUP. (http://slocounty.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=2296&meta_id=318015) Setbacks: The MASP Table 3-B requires a 15-foot setback for the front yard in the Medium-High Density Residential Zone (R-3-SP). The applicant is requesting to reduce the required street yard along Violet Street for a portion of Building 3 to 10-feet where 15-feet is normally required, due to topographic constraints on the project site. Zoning Regulations Section 17.16.20E states that the director may allow street yards to be reduced to 10-feet for structures, the intent of street yards is to help determine the pattern of building masses and open areas within neighborhoods and provide landscape beauty, air circulation, views and exposure to sunlight. The proposed setback reduction for Building 3 will not alter the overall character of the neighborhood or the streets appearance because the reduction is for a minor portion of the structure surrounded by open landscaping and will not deprive any adjacent property of views or reasonable solar access. Parking: The Zoning Regulations Section 17.16.060K (Low-income housing parking) provides alternative parking requirements for a project that provides exclusively very low or low-income housing based on one car and one bicycle space per dwelling unit. Section 17.90.040K also provides the opportunity for the parking requirements to be met by tandem parking. Total required parking for the project includes 36 vehicle parking spaces and 36 bicycle spaces, the project provides 44 vehicle parking spaces on site, and 36 bicycle parking spaces. 5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW On October 12, 2004, the City Council certified the Final Program EIR for the Margarita Area Specific Plan through Council Resolution 9615 (2004 Series). On April 15, 2014, the City Council adopted the Tiered Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (ER-120-13) which addressed the changes and revisions to Tract #2342 & #2353. The City Council Resolution No. 10512 (2014 Series) incorporates all revised mitigation measures and supersedes in their entirety the previously approved mitigation measures approved by Council Resolution No. 9777 (2006 Series). The City Council Resolution No. 10512 includes Condition #48 which requires that Lot 108 of Tract #2353 is to be dedicated for affordable housing to provide for the required affordable units for both Tract #2342 & #2353. The project is consistent with the adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration, all mitigation measures adopted as part of the MASP EIR and Subsequent Tiered MND that are applicable to the proposed project are carried forward and applied to the proposed project to effectively mitigate the impacts that were previously identified.

WHEREAS, notices of said public hearing were made at the time and in the manner required by law; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Architectural Review Commission of the Attachment 1 ARC1 - 7 Resolution No. ARC-XXXX-16 3175 Violet Street, ARCH-3370-2016 Page 2 City of San Luis Obispo as follows: SECTION 1. Findings. The Architectural Review Commission hereby grants final approval to the project (ARCH-3370-2016), based on the following findings: 1. The project will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of persons living or working at the site or in the vicinity because the project will be compatible with site constraints and the scale and character of the neighborhood. 2. The project is consistent with the Housing Element because the project provides a variety of residential types, sizes, and styles of dwellings (HE 5.4). The project supports Housing Element Policies related to inclusion and expansion of affordable housing units within the City (HE 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 7.1, 7.2, and 8.1) 3. The project is consistent with the Conservation and Open Space Element policy 4.4.3 because the project promotes higher-density, compact housing to achieve more efficient use of public facilities and services and to improve the City’s jobs/housing balance. 4. The project is consistent with the Margarita Area Specific Plan because the project site is one of two sites dedicated to provide a minimum of 40 affordable dwellings within the housing tracts of the western enclave of the Margarita Area (Tract 2343, 2353, & 2428). 5. The design of the project is consistent with the Community Design standards of the Margarita Area Specific Plan and has been designed in accordance with the Spanish architectural style which is an appropriate architectural style for all land use types within the Margarita Area. The project design incorporates articulation, massing, and a mix of color/finish materials that are compatible with the neighborhood and complementary to other development within the immediate vicinity. Density Bonus 6. The proposed project will provide quality affordable housing consistent with the intent of Chapter 17.90 of the Municipal Code, and the requested density bonus and reduction to site development standards is necessary to facilitate the production of affordable housing units. 7. The Margarita Area Specific Plan limits the locations of density bonuses within Residential Development Areas due to the need of consistency with the County Airport Land Use Plan, density bonuses are only available in the areas identified in Figure 5 of the Plan. On April 20, 2016 the Airport Land Use Commission held a pre-application review and unanimously determined that the proposed density bonus for the project site was consistent with the Airport Land Use Plan. The proposed density bonus of 35 percent is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element 2.4.2 for providing density bonuses on a receiving site within an expansion area. Attachment 1 ARC1 - 8 Resolution No. ARC-XXXX-16 3175 Violet Street, ARCH-3370-2016 Page 3 Building Height, Mass and Scale 8. The proposed height, mass and scale of the project will not negatively alter the overall character of the neighborhood or the streets appearance because the site is physically suited for the proposed type of development allowed in the R-3-SP zone. The project is consistent with the Community Design Guidelines because the development is designed in a manner that does not deprive reasonable solar access to adjacent properties by providing greater setbacks than what is required for majority of the buildings mass along the street frontage that also incorporates vertical and horizontal wall plan offsets that provide high-quality and aesthetically pleasing architectural design. 9. The proposed height, mass and scale of the project is necessary to provide additional dwelling units to be dedicated affordable for “low & very low” income households. Setback Exception 10. The setback reduction will not constitute a grant of special privilege of an entitlement inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity as the setback reduction is consistent with the development pattern of adjacent properties with the similar zoning which allow 10-foot street yard setbacks for front porches. 11. Granting of the five foot setback reduction for Building 3 will not alter the overall character of the neighborhood or the streets appearance because the proposal is minor and the setback reduction will allow reasonable development of the project site. 12. The project will not deprive adjacent properties of reasonable solar access because the portion of the structure requiring a setback reduction will cast no greater shadow as the highest point of the structure is setback from the property line of the closest adjacent structure greater than what is required by the setback/height requirements of the Margarita Area Specific Plan. No useful purpose would be realized by requiring full setbacks because no significant fire protection, emergency access, privacy or security impacts are anticipated. SECTION 2. Environmental Review. On October 12, 2004, the City Council certified the Final Program EIR for the Margarita Area Specific Plan through Council Resolution 9615 (2004 Series). On April 15, 2014 the City Council adopted the Tiered Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (ER-120-13) which addressed the changes and revisions to Tract #2342 & #2353. The City Council Resolution No. 10512 (2014 Series) incorporates all revised mitigation measures and supersedes in their entirety the previously approved mitigation measures approved by Council Resolution No. 9777 (2006 Series). The City Council Resolution No. 10512 includes Condition #48 which requires that Lot 108 of Tract #2353 is to be dedicated for affordable housing to provide for the required affordable units for both Tract #2342 & #2353. The project is consistent with the adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration, all mitigation measures adopted as part of the MASP EIR and Subsequent Tiered MND that are applicable to the proposed project are carried forward and applied to the proposed project to effectively mitigate the impacts that were previously identified.

Meeting Date: March 21, 2016 Item Number: 2 Attachment 4 ARC1 - 39 ARCH-2663-2016 (Conceptual) 408 Prado Road Page 2 1.0 COMMISSION’S PURVIEW The purpose of conceptual review before the ARC is to offer feedback to the applicant as to whether the project design is headed in the right direction before plans are further refined for final review. The ARC’s role is to review the project in terms of its consistency with the Community Design Guidelines, Margarita Area Specific Plan, and applicable City standards. 2.0 PROJECT ANALYSIS Staff has used the Community Design Guidelines (CDG), Margarita Area Specific Plan (MASP) and Zoning Regulations to review the proposed project and created a set of draft directional items (Section 6.0) to be used as a basis for discussion about the project. The following highlights key elements of the site and building design that the ARC should discuss and provide direction to staff and the applicant. ARC Discussion Items: The ARC should consider the following concerns: 1. Site Planning: CDG Chapter 5.4A states that site planning for multi-family housing should create a pleasant comfortable place for residences without the project “turning its back” on the surrounding neighborhood. ARC Directional Item #1: The ARC should consider the project’s site plan for compliance with Residential Design Guidelines for Multi-Family Housing Design (CDG 5.4 A). 2. Building Design. The project is surrounded by single family neighborhoods, and CDG 5.4C states that care in design should ensure that the height and bulk of higher density projects do not impact adjacent lower density residential areas. Structures with greater heights may require additional setbacks along the street frontage so they do not shade adjacent properties or visually dominate the neighborhood. A structure with three or more attached units should incorporate significant wall and roof articulation to reduce apparent scale. ARC Directional Item #2: The ARC should consider the project design’s compliance with Residential Design Guidelines for Multi-Family Project Architecture. (CDG 5.4 C) 3. Setbacks. The MASP Table 3-B requires a setback for the side yard consistent with the R-2 zone and a 15 foot setback for the front yard in the Medium Density Residential Zone (R-3- SP). The project proposes a 10 foot setback along the front yard for portions of the project design. The applicant is also requesting a side yard reduction of 10 feet along one of the side yards. ARC Directional Item #3: The ARC should discuss concerns for the reduced setbacks for the three story structure along the front yard and side yard. (MASP Table 3-B & Zoning Regulations Table 3) 4. Building Height. The maximum building height is determined by the Zoning Regulations (Table 5.5 Maximum Height by Zone) for the R-3 zone at 35 feet. The applicant is requesting a height exception of approximately 3 feet for two of the proposed buildings on Attachment 4 ARC1 - 40 ARCH-2663-2016 (Conceptual) 408 Prado Road Page 3 the south side of the property, due to the average natural slope of the property. ARC Directional Item #4: The ARC should discuss concerns related to the maximum height of the structures as it relates to the building design. 5. Parking. Long, monotonous parking drives and large undivided parking lots are discouraged. The length of a parking court should not exceed the width of eight adjoining stalls. Large scale multi-family projects should have internal streets designed as if they were pleasant public streets, with comprehensive streetscapes including sidewalks, and planting strips between curb and sidewalk with canopy trees. Planters shall be placed after each six parking spaces in any row, and at the ends of each row of parking spaces. ARC Directional Item #5: The ARC should consider the proposed parking lot for compliance with Site Planning & Other Design Details for Parking Facilities. (CDG 6.3 C, D, & E) 3.0 AFFORDABLE HOUSING The applicant is requesting a density bonus of 35% consistent with Zoning Regulations Chapter 17.90 Affordable Housing Incentives. The MASP limits the locations of density bonuses within Residential Development Areas due to the need of consistency with the County Airport Land Use Plan, density bonuses are only available in the areas identified in Figure 5. The Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) is currently updating the Airport Land Use Plan. The proposed project has been scheduled for a pre-application review to determine if the proposed location is appropriate for density bonus in accordance with the updated plan. The applicant has requested the proposed exceptions for setbacks and maximum building height though the City’s affordable housing incentive program. All proposed incentives shall be considered by the City Council consistent with Chapter 17.90. 4.0 OTHER DEPARTMENT COMMENTS Information needs and comments from the other departments were provided to the applicant team separately. 5.0 ALTERNATIVES & RECOMMENDATION 4.1. Continue the project with direction to the applicant and staff on pertinent issues. 4.2. Deny the project based on findings of inconsistency with the Community Design Guidelines. 6.0 DIRECTIONAL ITEMS Continue the project to a date uncertain with the following directional items and application requirements (Attachment 1): Attachment 4 ARC1 - 41 ARCH-2663-2016 (Conceptual) 408 Prado Road Page 4 Directional Items 1. The ARC should consider the project’s site plan for compliance with Residential Design Guidelines for Multi-Family Housing Design. 2. The ARC should consider the project design’s compliance with Residential Design Guidelines for Multi-Family Project Architecture. 3. The ARC should discuss concerns for the reduced setbacks for the three story structure along the front yard and side yard. 4. The ARC should discuss concerns related to the maximum height of the structures as related to the building design. 5. The ARC should consider the proposed parking lot for compliance with Site Planning & Other Design Details for Parking Facilities. 8.0 ATTACHMENTS 1. Application requirements and code requirements 2.

PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS None. Attachment 4 ARC1 - 43 Minutes Architectural Review Commission Meeting of March 21, 2016 Page 2 PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. 2223 Monterey Street. ARCH-2363-2015; Review of hotel project with 55 rooms and a recreational vehicle park with 23 RV/Airstream trailer spaces with associated parking and site improvements on the Master List Historic Motel Inn property. Project includes a 10% parking reduction request and a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact which will be reviewed by the Planning Commission; C-T-S zone; Motel Inn, L.P., applicant. Deputy Director Davidson introduced Associate Planner Carloni to provide the Staff Report presentation of the Motel Inn project. Applicant Representative, Damian Davis of Studio Design Group Architects, commended Staff for their explanation of project’s evolution; explained design feature decision to shift seven hotel doors towards, and six doors away from, creekside. COMMISSION DISCUSSION In response to Commissioner Andreen’s inquiries, Associate Planner Carloni indicated he was unaware of any plans for screens on entrance doors for ventilation; indicated that doors were strictly planned to be oriented differently and would not substantially impact traffic flow from the walkway; recognized that entrances per Ordinance 1130 considerations were a functional issue for Planning Commission (PC) than design issue in ARC purview but reminded that Staff was looking for feedback to inform PC’s decision. In response to Commissioner Root’s inquiry, Associate Planner Carloni stated that the discrepancy between Planning Division’s Condition 4 of Resolution and the Project Statistics Table per Maximum Height of Structure will be updated to match the “as conditioned with project.” In response to Commissioner Root’s second inquiry, Applicant Representative Davis indicated that Public Art question had not been addressed, that Applicant would pay the in-lieu fees and would also remain open to further consideration. PUBLIC COMMENTS Vice Chair Ehdaie mentioned that one piece of correspondence had been received by Staff from David and Sandy Garth, residents on San Luis Drive, in support of the project. Cliff Branch, San Luis Obispo, shared views that the site has been vacant for an inordinate amount of time, voicing support of the proposed project. Attachment 4 ARC1 - 44 Minutes Architectural Review Commission Meeting of March 21, 2016 Page 3 COMMISSION DISCUSSION In response to Commissioner Root and Commissioner Nemcik’s inquiries, Associate Planner Carloni displayed PowerPoint site plan comparisons which incorporate new creek views and indicate different side-loaded entrances for guests; pointed out that side entrances still exist in the new plan and half of them have been shifted toward creek. Commissioner Andreen initially opined that because additional openings had been newly created, the project was no longer in technical compliance with the ordinance that protects adjacent creek neighbors from noise, none of the properly noticed neighbors were on hand to voice concerns, voiced that she could support design change. Commissioner Root suggested that any potential noise concerns are driven less by the orientation of the doorways than by the number of occupied rooms; indicated he was pleased with the new iteration. In response to Commissioner Nemcik’s inquiry, Applicant Representative Davis established that the placement of entrances on different building faces was important as guest and unit privacy was compromised in the plans calling for side-by-side doors ten (10) feet apart. Commissioner Andreen motioned to approve the Cultural Heritage Committee’s finding of consistency with the historic preservation of the project, the recommendation to the Planning Commission that they adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and adopt the ordinance that the project is consistent with Community Design Guidelines and Ordinance 1130. Commissioner Soll recommended the addition of highlighted consideration, per ARC concern, of both the balcony attached to Suites 41 & 42 and the RV site’s picnic tables; Commissioner Andreen accepted recommendation as part of the Motion. ACTION: MOTION BY COMMISSIONER ANDREEN, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SOLL, the Commission approved the Cultural Heritage Committee’s finding of consistency with historic preservation; approved making the recommendation to the Planning Commission that they adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration, Ordinance 1130 and the ordinance indicating project is consistent with Community Design Guidelines; approved the additional recommendation to Planning Commission to place emphasis on consideration of both the balcony attached to suites 41 & 42 and recreational vehicle site’s picnic tables. Motion passed 5:0:0:2 on the following roll call vote: AYES: Andreen, Soll, Root, Nemcik, Ehdaie NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Curtis, Wynn Attachment 4 ARC1 - 45 Minutes Architectural Review Commission Meeting of March 21, 2016 Page 4 2. 408 Prado Road. ARCH-2663-2016; Conceptual architectural review of 36 affordable housing units on Lot 108 within Serra Meadows; R-3-SP zone; San Luis Obispo Non-Profit, applicant. Assistant Planner Bell provided an overview of staff’s recommendation and indicated ARC’s purview was to review project for consistency with the Community Design Guidelines in the Margarita Area Specific Plan; provided PowerPoint slides displaying a contextual map of the project, documentation of the project description, and an outline of five (5) directional items of potential concern as they pertain to guideline compliance, reduced setbacks, maximum height of structures and design details for parking facilities. Scott Smith, Executive Director of Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo (HASLO) provided updates on other HASLO projects that had previously appeared in front of Commission and introduced Architect Scott Martin to make presentation. Project Architect Scott Martin, RRM Design Group, provided documentation guiding the workforce housing project; showed graphics of the site plan and discussed request for slight height increase for lowest building on hill; disclosed project is requesting more density than what is allowed in Airport Land Use Plan. COMMISSION DISCUSSION Commissioner Andreen shared concern that the R-3 development may not effectively function as part of Serra Meadows if impenetrable to neighbors; Architect Martin indicated Applicant would seek as many pedestrian penetrations into the site as possible. In response to Commissioner Nemcik’s inquiry, Architect Martin explained that side yard exceptions are being requested due to a need for deepened footing where dramatic grading has occurred; Planner Bell responded that the request, within affordable incentive allowances, is for a five (5) foot reduction providing for a ten (10) foot yard all around property along street front. In response to Commissioner Root’s inquiries, Architect Martin suggested a bus stop internal to and on western edge of site and mentioned that a major pedestrian connection would be walking distance down Violet; endorsed the interior street concept as a better alternative to placing a parking lot next to residential homes; confirmed that the 12% grade of driveway is steep, but that 15% is maximum for emergency services, so maintained that project envisions same corner to be primary access. In response to Acting Chair Ehdaie’s inquiries, Architect Martin responded that project’s idea of prominently framing primary entry with buildings that provide community space and public functions would serve as a de facto neighborhood meeting spot identifier; detailed goal of creating senses of ownership through delicate balance in and resident progression through public, semi-public and private spaces. Attachment 4 ARC1 - 46 Minutes Architectural Review Commission Meeting of March 21, 2016 Page 5 In response to Commissioner Soll’s inquiries, Architect Martin pointed out that residential access points are through front doors; indicated project is heavily considering solar possibilities, stated that parking area allows for two-way traffic and both plazas are intended for community gathering spaces. In response to Commissioner Andreen’s inquiry, Architect Martin shared that Applicant has planned for open parking; fielded Commissioner Andreen’s encouragement to research storage space outside units as valid feedback while pointing out area on site plan that shows potential for bicycle parking. In response to Commissioner Nemcik’s inquiry, Architect Martin noted that Applicant has considered pavers and colored concrete for parking paving differentiation material, but remains open to suggestion. In response to Commissioner Andreen’s inquiry, Architect Martin responded that the anticipation is for residential children to feed regional park system and linear parks along Margarita, envisioning site as a natural setting and as part of a developing neighborhood as opposed to a stand-alone project implementing a controlled, over- articulated recreational area. Commissioner Andreen opined that kids require hard surface in safe environment beyond the parking area. In response to Acting Chair Ehdaie’s inquiry regarding the breaking down of parking into smaller lots embedded with the buildings, Architect Martin reported that the alternative was the park-along-street concept; indicated that breaking up parking means more circulation, more asphalt, less landscape, and less building. PUBLIC COMMENTS Robert DeVries, San Luis Obispo, commented as a pilot that site is directly under departure area for northern air traffic and, being at highest elevation, will be in receipt of most noise, so suggested increased building insulation; reported that there is no designated place for children to play in area and the park pictured in presentation is a clearance area high in grass and under PG&E high-tension wires. Cliff Branch, San Luis Obispo, spoke as longtime developer in the County and disclosed he has family with non-refundable deposit invested in property proximal to project site; informed that 12% slope is in straight line with Aster that will need to be carved out of area; voiced concern that with a 10-foot setback and three-story building, attention is needed to view angles on homes yet to be built; commented that the most prominent site in area is scheduled for highest-density housing which generates multiple issues. Annie Shanks, San Luis Obispo, spoke as resident of Serra Meadows; voiced struggle with concept of affordable housing and its relationship to structure planned for top of hill, three stories seeming inordinately high for the site; questioned whether “affordable housing” indicated homes for sale or for rent and wondered if residents within would be part of Serra Meadows HOA. Attachment 4 ARC1 - 47 Minutes Architectural Review Commission Meeting of March 21, 2016 Page 6 COMMISSION DISCUSSION HASLO Executive Director Smith stated that the units are planned as rentals, citing that it is much more difficult to market housing for sale to the $35K-$45K annual income range. Acting Chair Ehdaie and Commissioner Andreen requested qualification on Public Comment’s HOA question; HASLO Executive Director Smith stated that HASLO would retain ownership and management of HOA membership via the functioning of an employee who will live onsite and report on it to HASLO directly. Deputy Director Davidson informed that the affordable housing parking requirement and the zoning ordinance for affordable housing are written as basically one space per two- bedroom unit; suggested Commission discuss each of the five (5) Directional Items in roundtable fashion along with additional comments not already broached. Commissioner Soll spoke favorably on the courtyard area and commented that further landscaping would be important to reduce massing of building from perspective of neighborhood below. Commissioner Nemcik suggested Applicant consider angled parking and one-way directional as means of not having to request exception. Per maximum height of structures as it relates to building design, Commissioner Andreen indicated she would reject request for additional three (3) feet out of hand but it would still be more important to consider how added dimension would impact appearance from neighborhood’s perspective; Assistant Planner Bell responded to Acting Chair Ehdaie’s question by stating that these types of exception requests are different from standard exceptions insofar as they work as incentives in affordable housing scenarios. Assistant Planner Bell explained that the building requesting the three feet is the same as the adjacent one in terms of style and layout but its measurements are altered from maximum height based on where it’s located on slope; Commissioners Root, Nemcik and Ehdaie indicated they would favor granting this exception; Vice Chair Ehdaie indicated support of the height exception, while reminding the Applicant that increasing the setback as much as possible to alleviate the overlook issue would be optimal. Per the proposed parking lot for compliance with site planning: Commissioner Root shared opinion that the use of alternative paving, surrounding landscaping and circulation warrants the design in this direction while insisting on criteria of planters every six spaces would not make it work as well; Commissioner Nemcik shared belief that insufficient parking issue needs to be addressed; Commissioner Andreen indicated that it is more important to maximize parking and the strict enforcement of every sixth planter rule would infringe on it; Commissioner Soll commended alternative paving; Attachment 4 ARC1 - 48 Minutes Architectural Review Commission Meeting of March 21, 2016 Page 7 Acting Chair Ehdaie shared opinion that the parking design works in terms of balance between maximizing affordable housing with its allowable parking. Commissioner Andreen voiced strong endorsement for Applicant to place more emphasis on consideration of children living in neighborhoods that support young families and make provisions for places for them to play safely. AGENDA FORECAST Deputy Director Davidson provided the schedule itinerary for April: April 4th: Oath of Office for the re-appointed Commissioner Nemcik; Election of Chair and Vice-Chair; BMW dealership re-location to Calle Joaquin; re-design of four (4) single-family residences at 323 Grand; back deck of SLO Brew’s new location on Higuera April 18th: 71 Palomar; two commercial-industrial buildings on Via Esteban and at 179 Cross ADJOURNMENT Vice Chair Ehdaie adjourned the meeting at 7:10 p.m. Respectfully submitted by, Brad T. Opstad Recording Secretary Attachment 4 ARC1 - 49 RESOLUTION NO. 10512 (2014 Series) A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO APPROVING A REVISED VESTING TENTATIVE MAP AND MODIFICATIONS TO CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 2353 MOD /TR/ER 120 -13; 408 PRADO ROAD) WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, on March 12, 2014, pursuant to a proceeding instituted under application MOD /TR/ER 120 -13, Mangano Homes Inc., applicant, for the purpose of considering a request for a revised tentative map and to amend conditions of approval for Vesting Tentative Tract Map 2353 for an approximately 30 -acre site located on the north side of Prado Road, east of South Higuera Street; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve the revised tentative tract map and proposed modified conditions of Vesting Tentative Tract Map 2353, as well as the Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impact; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, on April 15, 2014, for the purpose of considering the proposed revised map and modified conditions of Vesting Tentative Tract Map 2353 originally approved through City Council Resolution No. 9777 (2006 Series); and WHEREAS, notices of said public hearings were made at the time and in the manner required by law; and WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impact as prepared by staff and reviewed by the Planning Commission; and WHEREAS, the Council has duly considered all evidence, including the record of the Planning Commission hearing and action, testimony of interested parties, and the evaluation and recommendations by staff, presented at said hearing. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo as follows: SECTION 1. Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the City Council makes the following findings in support of the request to revise the tentative tract map and modify conditions of approval for Vesting Tentative Tract Map 2353: 1. The proposed condition modifications are reasonably necessary to allow for the construction of Prado Road improvements to serve the Western Enclave Development in the Margarita Area Specific Plan given financing considerations and projected traffic levels. R 10512 Attachment 5 ARC1 - 50 Resolution No. 10512 (2014 Series) Page 2 2. The design of the revised vesting tentative tract map is consistent with the General Plan because the proposed subdivision respects existing site constraints (slope, creeks, wetlands, significant trees), improves drainage conditions, will incrementally add to the City's residential housing inventory, result in parcels that meet density standards, and will be consistent with the density and lot sizes established by the Margarita Area Specific Plan. 3. The site is physically suited for the proposed type of development allowed in the R -1 -SP, R- 2-SP, and O -SP zones. 4. The design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements for access through (or use of property within) the proposed subdivision. 5. The City Council finds that the project will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment as documented in the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the project with incorporation of the mitigation measures and monitoring program being incorporated into the project, as listed herein in Section 2. The proposed modifications to conditions do not conflict with approved mitigation measures and are consistent with previous environmental studies for the extension of Prado Road. 6. Several Environmental Impact Reports have been certified that included the Prado Road extension, including the 1994 Land Use and Circulation Elements, the 2000 Amendment to the Circulation Element, and the Airport and Margarita Specific Plans. These EIRs have analyzed the impacts associated with adding the road to the circulation system and Circulation Element and its current alignment. Project specific impacts were addressed in each environmental document prepared for Vesting Tract Maps. SECTION 2. Environmental Review. The City Council adopted the project's Mitigated Negative Declaration on March 7, 2006, which incorporated mitigation measures and monitoring programs into the project. In addition, the Tiered Initial Study and Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the current revisions request (ER- 120 -13) brings forth additional mitigation measures for impacts related to traffic. The following mitigation measures will supersede in their entirety the previously approved mitigation measures approved by Council Resolution No. 9777 (2006 Series). The following mitigation measures incorporate the originally approved mitigation measures that are still applicable to this project along with the changes necessitated by the proposed revisions to the project. Mitigation Measures: Reduction of Light and Glare 1. In order for MASP /AASP EIR Mitigation Measure LU -7.1 as implemented by the MASP to be carried through to lot- specific development stage, a lighting plan that demonstrates compliance with Community Design Section 3.3 Lighting requirements of the MASP shall be submitted with other required plans for both the residential and commercial components of the project to the review and approval of the Architectural Review Commission (ARC). The lighting plan shall propose specific measures to limit the amount of light trespass Attachment 5 ARC1 - 51 Resolution No. 10512 (2014 Series) Page 3 associated with development within the project area including shielding and /or directional lighting methods to ensure that spillover light does not exceed 0.5 foot - candles at adjacent property lines. Monitoring Program: The ARC will review development plans for both the residential and commercial components of the project. City staff, including Planning and other departments, will review plans to assure that all of the ARC's requirements related to lighting and compliant with the MASP provisions have been incorporated into working drawings. City building inspectors will be responsible for assuring that all lighting is installed pursuant to the approved lighting plan. Preparation and Implementation of "Comprehensive Biological Mitigation Program" 2. Mitigation for wetland impacts. Mitigation for wetland impacts will be through a combination of on- and off -site mitigation, approved by the City, the DFW and the Army Corps of Engineers. Further, in compliance with the MASP /AASP EIR, the adjacent VTM 2342 proposes the creation of Lot 64 in an area designated by the MASP for "Open Space - Riparian" for the express purposes of achieving some of the necessary wetlands replacement mitigation area, as well as preservation of related biological habitat benefits. 3. Mitigation for Impacts to Sensitive Species. None of these species are expected to be difficult to establish. City staff will work with the project sponsors in developing the details of the effort. Congdon Tarplant. Create compensating habitat in a suitable off -site location approved by the City. 4. Mitigation for Impacts to Other Nesting Birds. Undertake surveys prior to initiation of construction activities; avoid construction activities within 100 feet of active nest sites, or within 300 feet for raptor nests, until after young have fledged. 5. Off Site Mitigation for Wetland Impacts. A further component of the biological mitigation program is the applicant's proposal to acquire (by fee, easement, or eminent domain) lands outside the bounds of the Western Enclave (designated by the MASP as "Open Space Riparian" lands). The targeted property (lying south of Prado Road and owned by Prado Park LLC) is a low lying area that already naturally collects some area run -off and provides valuable habitat for certain special concern and R - T -E (rare, threatened, and endangered) species, and thus is beneficial to retain in its natural state. Pre - development run -off has resulted in seasonal flooding of Prado Road due to the currently deficient collection/distribution system to this natural drainage area south of Prado Road. The Western Enclave applicants propose to acquire this off -site property designated for open space use by the MASP and utilize it beneficially for biological mitigation as well as a detention basin for pre- and post - Western Enclave development generated run -off. It is proposed that this basin be enhanced to accommodate the greater project - generated and pre - project run -off flows, and to increase its habitat value in the long term. The basin is proposed to be held and maintained by a Home Owners Association (HOA) established initially for the Western Enclave area, and perhaps ultimately for the entire MASP as stipulated be done by the MASP. Attachment 5 ARC1 - 52 Resolution No. 10512 (2014 Series) Page 4 Monitoring Program: Prior to approval of the final map, the applicant shall contact the City Natural Resource Manager for review and approval of the final lot and street design to assure that on -site natural resources are protected and preserved to the greatest extent required by the mitigation measures and consistent with requirements of the MASP and MASP I AASP EIR. Said design shall also be consistent with approvals required subsequent to this Tentative Map from State Dept. of Fish and Game and Army Corps of Engineers. Prior to any site preparation or construction activities, the applicant shall also initiate and complete for approval by the City pre- construction surveys for nesting birds and adhere to performance standard specified in the mitigation. Provisions for required off -site mitigation shall be coordinated with and approved by the City Natural Resource Manager prior to recordation of the Final Map. Periodic field inspections by City Staff during construction will be necessary to assure site development conforms to mitigation measures and conditions of approval. Preparation of Phase II Archaeological Subsurface Survey 6. In order to achieve complete mitigation for the archaeological resource found on the subject site, this survey is required if the site cannot be avoided. The Phase II survey is to determine if significance criteria of CEQA and /or NRHP are met. The survey must be completed and results submitted to City for determination whether mitigation measures below, as specified in EIR, are needed. 1) A data recovery program consisting of archaeological excavation to retrieve the important data from the archaeological site; 2) Development and implementation of public interpretation plans for both prehistoric and historic sites; 3) Preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, or reconstruction of' historic structures according to the Secretary of Interior Standards for Treatment of Historic Properties; 4) Construction of new structures in a manner consistent with the historic character of the region; and 5) Treatment of historic landscapes according to the Secretary of Interior Standards for Treatment of Historic Landscapes. If the project involves a federal agency, and is therefore subject to a MOA, the inventory, evaluation, and treatment processes will be coordinated with that federal agency to ensure that the work conducted will also comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Preparation and Implementation of a "Construction- Related Hazardous Materials Management Plan" 7. As stipulated in the MASP / AASP EIR, this would be a plan identifying, when they are known, site /development - specific construction activities that will involve the hazardous materials. The plan shall be prepared before construction activities begin that involve hazardous materials and shall discuss proper handling and disposal of materials used or Attachment 5 ARC1 - 53 Resolution No. 10512 (2014 Series) Page 5 produced onsite, such as petroleum products, concrete, and sanitary waste. The plan will also outline a specific protocol to identify health risks associated with the presence of chemical compounds in the soil and /or groundwater and identify specific protective measures to be followed by the workers entering the work area. If the presence of hazardous materials is suspected or encountered during construction- related activities, the project proponent will cause Mitigation Measure HAZ -1.2 to be activated. Mitigation Measure HAZ -1.2 states: The project proponent will complete a Phase I environmental site assessment for each proposed public facility (e.g. streets and buried infrastructure). If Phase 1 site assessments indicate a potential for soil and/or groundwater contamination within or adjacent to the road or utility alignments, a Phase H site assessment will be completed. The following Phase H environmental site assessments will be prepared specific to soil and/or groundwater contamination. a. Soil Contamination. For soil contamination, the Phase II site assessment will include soil sampling and analysis for anticipated contaminating substances. If soil contamination is exposed during construction, the San Luis Obispo Fire Department (SLOFD) will be notified and a work plan to characterize and possibly remove contaminated. soil will be prepared, submitted and approved. b. Groundwater Contamination. For groundwater contamination, the Phase H assessment may include monitoring well installation, groundwater sampling, and analysis for anticipated contaminating substances. If groundwater contaminated by potentially hazardous materials is expected to be extracted during dewatering, the SLOFD and the Central Coast RWQCB will be notified. A contingency plan to dispose of contaminated groundwater will be developed in agreement with the SLOFD and Central Coast RWQCB. " Monitoring Program: The "Construction- Related Hazardous Materials Management Plan" will be required to be submitted to the City Community Development Department and Fire Department for review prior to commencement of any site preparation or construction work involving hazardous materials. No site preparation or construction work may commence before said plan has been approved by the City. Any site work commenced without City approval of said Plan will be subject to "Stop Work" (cease and desist) orders as may be issued under the authority of the City Fire Department. Preparation and Implementation of an "Operations- Related Hazardous Materials Management Plan" 8. As stipulated in the MASP/ AASP EIR, this would be a plan prepared by a project proponent identifying hazardous materials management practices as might be required by state and local laws and regulations regarding delivery, use, manufacture, and storage of any such regulated materials might be present On site for any operations- related activities. This plan would identify the proper handling and disposal of materials uses or produced onsite, such as petroleum products, concrete, and sanitary waste. By the filing of said Plan, the City Fire Attachment 5 ARC1 - 54 Resolution No. 10512 (2014 Series) Page 6 Department will be on notice to provide regular and routine fire and life - safety inspections to determine compliance with applicable health and safety codes. Monitoring Program: The "Operations- Related Hazardous Materials Management Plan" will be required to be submitted by a project proponent to the City Community Development Department and City Fire Department for review prior to the establishment of any operations - related activities. Air Quality 9. AQ -1 Fugitive Dust Control Measures. The proposed project shall implement the following dust control measures so as to reduce PM 10 emissions in accordance with SLOAPCD requirements. a) Reduce the amount of the disturbed area where possible; b) Use of water trucks or sprinkler systems in sufficient quantities to prevent airborne dust from leaving the site.

PROJECT ADDRESS: 2102 Broad St BY: Walter Oetzell, Assistant Planner Phone: 781-7593 E-mail: woetzell@slocity.org FILE NUMBER: ARCH-2764-2016 FROM: Tyler Corey, Principal Planner RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Draft Resolution (Attachment 1) approving the project, based on findings, and subject to conditions. SITE DATA Applicant Sam Clemons Representative Keith Hall Submittal Date July 27, 2016 General Plan Neighborhood Commercial Area Plan South Broad Street Area Plan Zoning Neighborhood Commercial (C-N) Environmental Status Categorically Exempt (CEQA Guidelines §15303 – New Construction of Small Structures) SUMMARY The applicant has submitted a request for modification of architectural review application ARCMI 29-13, which permitted the construction of a two-story addition to a single-family dwelling at 2102 Broad Street. That application, along with an Administrative Use Permit for the addition, was approved in June 2012, subject to several conditions (see Figure 1 and Attachment 4). The new addition stands partially completed on the site at this time. ARC2 - 1 ARCH-2764-2016 (2102 Broad) Page 2 As construction of the addition progressed, the applicant found it infeasible to retain the original dwelling and demolished it. A new design was submitted, replacing the demolished original dwelling with new construction, and adding a third floor to the new building (Figure 2). The Commission reviewed the project plans on June 20th, 2016, (Attachment 5) and continued consideration of the item to a future date, providing direction about modifications to the project design to address inconsistencies with development standards and design guidelines: 1. Reduce building height 2. Reduce the height of privacy walls and provide additional visual interest 3. Reduce the use of metal siding as an exterior material. 4. Herald the entry. 1.0 COMMISSION’S PURVIEW The Commission’s role is to review the revised project plans prepared by the applicant in response to the Commission’s direction, and to evaluate the project’s consistency with the City’s General Plan, Zoning Regulations and Community Design Guidelines. 2.0 SITE AND PROJECT INFORMATION The project site is on the east side of Broad Street, about 150 feet south of Chorro Street, in a Neighborhood Commercial (C-N) Zone, on a Nonconforming Lot (due to substandard area and width). It was previously developed with a single-family dwelling, now demolished, and a replacement dwelling is under construction. There are no significant natural features on the site. The proposed project replaces the original (demolished) dwelling and adds a third story to the building, resulting in a three-story single-family residence. More detailed information about the Figure 1: Original design (ARCMI 29-13) approved June, 2012 Figure 2: Modified design, reviewed by ARC June 20, 2016 ARC2 - 2 ARCH-2764-2016 (2102 Broad) Page 3 site, setting, and project design is provided in the June 20th, 2016 staff report prepared for the project (Attachment 5). 3.0 PROJECT EVALUATION 3.1 Changes in response to direction Plans for this project were reviewed for consistency with the General Plan, development standards in the City’s Zoning Regulations, and the City’s Community Design Guidelines (see June 20th ARC Agenda Report, Attachment 5). The overall project design remains the same, with changes made in response to the directional items provided to the applicant by the ARC to address inconsistencies with several standards and guidelines. This report discusses and evaluates those changes in Section 4.0 (Response to Directional Items) below. 3.2 Changes to northerly wall surface A significant change has been made in the detailing of the northerly building wall surface. Semi- open balcony railing on the second level and clear glass railing on the third level have been replaced with solid wall railing and an extensive application of horizontal redwood slats across three wall surfaces. At the building corners, the slats extend from the second level up to the third level, creating a box form around these wall surfaces (see Figure 4). Figure 4: North building elevation: before (left); modified (right) Figure 3: Current design, revised in response to ARC direction ARC2 - 3 ARCH-2764-2016 (2102 Broad) Page 4 As depicted in the character renderings, the overall effect appears rather heavy, particularly at the corners, and monotonous in its extent along the entire wall surface. Community Design Guidelines address the articulation of building elevations: The City encourages well-articulated, but not cluttered building elevations. Large roof and wall planes unrelieved by shadow or texture interest are generally not acceptable. However, too many elevation details can overwhelm, and appear awkward, gaudy, and/or chaotic. (§ 2.2 (B)) A condition of approval is suggested (Condition 2) in the draft resolution (Attachment 1), requiring that the use of redwood slats on these elevations be substantially reduced and limited to sparing use as an accent material and for required deck or balcony railing where necessary, and that the columns they form at the building corners be eliminated. 4.0 RESPONSE TO DIRECTIONAL ITEMS Directional Item 1: Reduce building height In its previous design, the building was 38 feet in height, exceeding the maximum 35-foot height limit for the C-N Zone. The Commission provided direction on reducing building height: Reduce the height of the building to comply with the building height limit applicable to the C-N Zone, and to achieve consistency with the scale and height of adjacent buildings and those in the immediate neighborhood. If the third floor is retained, modify its design and its relationship to the building's lower levels to better integrate it into the form and character of the building. The maximum height of the building has been lowered to 35 feet, the maximum building height permitted in the C-N Zone (Zoning §17.16.040, Table 5.5). The third floor has been retained and integrated into the overall form and character of the building by carrying the stucco wall and overhang up through the third floor (see Figure 5). While the resulting form will be somewhat larger than adjacent structures and others currently existing in the vicinity, the Commission noted in its June 20th discussion that the building is consistent with the height and scale expected of new development in the area, particularly within the Railroad District area to the east. As an example, the Junction, a recently approved mixed- use project 225 feet to the east of the site, is three stories and 35 feet in height. Figure 5: South elevation ARC2 - 4 ARCH-2764-2016 (2102 Broad) Page 5 Directional Item 2: Reduce the height of privacy walls and provide additional visual interest A 10-foot high solid, unrelieved block privacy wall extends around the southerly and easterly boundaries of the site, in excess of the 6-foot height limit for walls and fences within Other Yards (Zoning § 17.16.050 (B) (2)). The Commission provided direction on the height of the wall and the need for additional visual interest: Reduce the height of the block privacy wall to conform to the maximum height limits described in Zoning Regulations § 17.16.050 (A). Between the dwelling and car wash, the wall may be taller, not to exceed 10 feet in height, to provide additional screening for noise reduction and privacy. The height of the “10’ Block Privacy Wall” has not been lowered (see Site Plan, Sheet AR-0.1, Note N32 04 A3). The wall still exceeds the 6-foot height limit for walls and fences within Other Yards. No additional visual interest has been provided. Two conditions of approval (Conditions 3 and 4) have been included in the draft resolution (Attachment 1) to address this concern. They call for elimination of the non-conforming sections of the wall (in excess of 6 feet in height), except where the dwelling is adjacent to the car wash, where the wall may be 10 feet high to provide additional screening for noise reduction and privacy. They also require that design elements, such as texture variations, shallow pilasters, or offsets be employed to provide visual interest to the wall. Directional Item 3: Reduce the use of metal siding as an exterior material. The previous project design included extensive use of patterned metal siding on the southerly building wall, which did not enhance compatibility, continuity, or harmony with the qualities of the surrounding neighborhood, where wood and plaster are the predominant materials. Direction was provided on the use of metal siding: Substantially reduce the use of the patterned metal siding on building walls, using it sparingly as an accent material that is complementary to the wood and plaster surfaces, and not as a primary surface material. Wood and masonry materials that enhance the compatibility, continuity, and harmony between the project and the surrounding neighborhood are encouraged, for consistency. Patterned metal siding has been entirely removed from the design of the building walls. Smooth stucco now extends the full height of the building, with redwood screening providing a complementary accent. Directional Item 4: Herald the entry The entry, as proposed, was found to be too subtle, and not consistent with design guidance encouraging a clearly visible entry providing a transition between the streetscape and a project’s indoor private spaces. Direction was provided on improving the entry area: Design the entry to the building to draw attention to, and highlight, the entry area, and to provide a transition into the interior of the site, consistent with Community Design Guidelines § 5.5 (A.3). ARC2 - 5 ARCH-2764-2016 (2102 Broad) Page 6 Character renderings of the revised project design depict a semi-open horizontally-oriented wood fence section composed of spaced redwood slats at the building entry, with a wood entry door recessed into the entry space (see Figure 6). This modified design draws attention to this area, and it “reads” much more clearly as a point of entry to the building, while providing the desired privacy and noise attenuation. It also ties the entry into the overall design by echoing the pattern of the wood screen on the south building wall. 5.0 CONCLUSION Changes made to the design of the project have addressed all of the Commission’s directional items, apart from direction regarding the block wall, which is addressed by suggested conditions of project approval. Similarly, a condition of approval is suggested to address the use of redwood slat detailing on the northerly building elevations. With those changes and conditions, staff finds that the project conforms to applicable development standards and is consistent with the City’s Community Design Guidelines, as set out in the attached draft resolution. 6.0 CONCURRENCES Project plans have been reviewed by the Building & Safety Division, and the Fire, Public Works, and Utilities Departments. Comments from these departments have been incorporated into the draft resolution as conditions of approval and code compliance notes. 7.0 ALTERNATIVES 7.1 Deny the project based on findings of inconsistency with the City’s General Plan, Zoning Regulations, or Community Design Guidelines. 7.2 Continue the project to a date uncertain with the directional items 8.0 ATTACHMENTS 1.

Findings. The Architectural Review Commission hereby grants final approval to application ARCH-2764-2016, modifying application ARCMI 29-13, based on the following findings: 1. As conditioned, the project is consistent with the policies of the City’s General Plan applicable to development in the Neighborhood Commercial area. The proposed dwelling replaces an existing dwelling on the site. It has been designed to be compatible with the character of the neighborhood, as required by Policy 2.3.9 (Compatible Development) of the Land Use Element of the City’s General Plan, to conform to applicable development standards, and to be consistent with the City’s Community Design Guidelines. An exception allowing greater height for a portion of the proposed block wall enhances compatibility ATTACHMENT 1 ARC2 - 7 Resolution No. ARC ####-16 Page 2 2102 Broad; ARCH-2764-2016 between the proposed dwelling and the adjacent car wash by providing privacy for the occupants, and noise and visual separation, while avoiding an undesirable barrier wall that would isolate the project, as directed by Policy 2.3.11 (Residential Project Objections) of the Land Use Element. 2. As conditioned, the project conforms to the standards and limitations set forth in the City’s Zoning Regulations. The density of development is within the allowable limit, the structure is set back from property lines to provide adequate separation, air circulation, and solar exposure, and required parking is provided in an appropriate location on the site and in conformance to minimum dimensions. 3. As conditioned, the project design is consistent with the City’s Community Design Guidelines (CDG) applicable to residential development. At three stories in height, and using smooth stucco and wood as predominant surface materials, it has been designed to be compatible in scale and character with existing adjacent buildings and those in the immediate neighborhood (CDG § 5.3 (A)), and is also compatible with the scale of development in the Railroad District area adjacent, to the east, of the site. 4. As conditioned, an exception to height standards for fences and walls (Zoning Regulations § 17.16.050 (F)) is appropriate. Additional wall height is necessary for a portion of the proposed block privacy wall, to provide privacy and noise separation between the proposed dwelling and the adjacent existing car wash (Condition 3). No public purpose would be served by strict compliance with the fence and wall height limits, as the exception allows a minor 4-foot increase in wall height over a limited portion of the privacy wall. There is also a landscape planter area on the car wash side of the wall that provides for partial screening of the wall by landscaping. 5. The project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It involves construction of a single-family residence, a small structure, as described in CEQA Guidelines § 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures). SECTION 2. Action. The Architectural Review Commission hereby grants final approval to application ARCH-2764-2016, with incorporation of the following conditions and code compliance notes: Conditions Planning 1. Conformance to approved plans. Final project design and construction drawings submitted for a building permit shall be in substantial compliance with the project plans approved by the ARC.

Reference shall be made in the margin of listed items as to where in plans ATTACHMENT 1 ARC2 - 8 Resolution No. ARC ####-16 Page 3 2102 Broad; ARCH-2764-2016 requirements are addressed. Any change to approved design, colors, materials, landscaping, or other conditions of approval must be approved by the Director or Architectural Review Commission, as deemed appropriate. 2. Redwood slats on building elevations. The north, west, and east building elevations shall be modified by substantially reducing the use of redwood slats to avoid overwhelming the wall surfaces. Use of the redwood slats shall be limited in their application as an accent material that is complementary to the building’s cement plaster surfaces and wood accent details, and for required deck or balcony railing where necessary, subject to the approval of the Community Development Director. The columns formed at the building corners by the redwood slats shall be eliminated. 3. Privacy wall – Height. The proposed block privacy wall shall be limited to 6 feet in height, in conformance with Zoning Regulations § 17.16.050, except for the portion of the wall between the proposed dwelling and the adjacent car wash. 4. Privacy wall – Visual interest. The proposed block privacy wall shall provide additional visual interest, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director, by incorporation of appropriate decorative techniques or features, such as texture variations or additional articulation using shallow pilasters or offsets.

Box 391 San Luis Obispo, CA 93403-0391 ATTACHMENT 4 ARC2 - 24 June 22, 2012 Sam Clemons 2102 Broad Street San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 Subject: ARCMI 29-12 (2102 Broad Street) Review of two-story addition to the front of an existing single-story, single-family residence Dear Mr. Clemons: On June 22, 2012, I reviewed your plans to construct a two-story addition to the front of an existing single-story residence located at 2102 Broad Street in the Neighborhood Commercial (C-N) zone. The project proposes construction of a 1,615 square-foot, two-story addition to the front of the existing 607 square-foot, one-bedroom single-family residence. The façade of the existing single-family residence will be reconstructed to match the contemporary style of the proposed addition, creating one integral residence. After reviewing the plans, I determined that the project is minor and will not require review by the Architectural Review Commission (ARC). Your plans are approved, based on findings and subject to the following conditions: Findings 1. The project will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of persons living or working at the site or in the vicinity because the residence is an established use at the subject location and the proposed addition is compatible with site constraints and the scale and character of the neighborhood. 2. The proposed addition is consistent with General Plan policies for compatible development because it is in scale and character with the neighborhood and respects the privacy and solar access of neighboring buildings (LUE 2.2.10). 3. As conditioned, the project is consistent with the Community Design Guidelines because the proposed residence is compatible in scale, siting, detailing, color, and overall character with adjacent buildings in the neighborhood.

The project is consistent with the Community Design Guidelines because it is an integral addition with all sides of the residence using the same materials and design details. 5. The project is consistent with the City’s Zoning Regulations because it meets density and property development standards for the C-N zone. 6. The project is exempt from environmental review under Class 32 (Section 15332), Infill Development Projects, of the CEQA Guidelines. Conditions 1. The project shall comply with conditions of approval established by Use Permit A 29-12. 2. A building plan check submittal that is in full conformance with submitted project plans and the following conditions of approval shall be submitted for review and approval of the Community Development Department. 3. The proposed primary and secondary colors shall be lightened to maintain compatibility with neighboring structures. Plans submitted for a building permit shall include a primary and secondary exterior color sample for review and approval of the Community Development Department. 4. Plans submitted for a building permit shall call out the colors and materials of all proposed building surfaces and other improvements on elevation drawings. Colors and materials shall be as shown on the colors and materials board submitted with the Minor or Incidental Architectural Review application, except as provided in condition #3 above. 5. Plans submitted for a building permit shall include a complete landscaping plan and/or provide details of existing landscaping. All planting shown on the approved landscaping plan shall be installed prior to the release of occupancy. 6. Any proposed exterior lighting shall be shown on plans submitted for a building permit and shall be downward-facing, fully recessed, and shielded to avoid light trespass and adverse impacts to visibility of the night sky consistent with Chapter 17.23 of the Zoning Regulations. My decision is final unless appealed to the Architectural Review Commission within 10 calendar days of the date of this letter. Any person aggrieved by the decision may file an appeal. Appeal forms are available in the Community Development Department . The fee for filing an appeal is $261 and must accompany the appeal documentation. Appeals will be scheduled for the first available Architectural Review Commission meeting date. If an appeal is filed, you will be notified by mail of the date and time of the hearing.

Box 1810 San Luis Obispo, CA 93406 ATTACHMENT 4 ARC2 - 27 Meeting Date: June 20, 2016 Item Number: 3 ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT SUBJECT: Review of the modification of an approved plan (ARCMI 29-12) for construction of an addition to a single-family dwelling, to replace the demolished portion of the dwelling with new construction and add a third floor. PROJECT ADDRESS: 2102 Broad St BY: Walter Oetzell, Assistant Planner Phone: 781-7593 E-mail: woetzell@slocity.org FILE NUMBER: ARCH-2764-2016 FROM: Tyler Corey, Principal Planner RECOMMENDATION Provide direction to the applicant on the height and scale of the proposed new residence and continue consideration of the project to a date uncertain. SITE DATA Applicant Sam Clemons Representative Keith Hall Submittal Date May 13, 2016 Complete Date May 13, 2016 General Plan Neighborhood Commercial Specific Plan South Broad Zoning Neighborhood Commercial (C-N) Environmental Status Categorically Exempt (CEQA Guidelines §15303 – New Construction of Small Structures) SUMMARY The applicant has submitted a request for modification of architectural review application ARCMI 29-13, which permitted the construction of a two-story addition to a single-family dwelling at 2102 Broad Street. That application, along with an Administrative Use Permit for the addition, was approved in June 2012, subject to several conditions (see Attachment 3). As construction of the addition progressed, the applicant found it infeasible to retain the original portion of the dwelling and it has been subsequently demolished. The approved addition stands ATTACHMENT 5 ARC2 - 28 ARCH-2764-2016 (2102 Broad) Page 2 partially completed on the site at this time. The modified design replaces the demolished original portion of the dwelling with new construction, and adds a third floor to the building. 1.0 COMMISSION’S PURVIEW The Commission’s role is to review the revised project for consistency with the City’s General Plan, Zoning Regulations and Community Design Guidelines. 2.0 SITE INFORMATION/SETTING The project site is on the east side of Broad Street, about 150 feet south of Chorro Street, in a Neighborhood Commercial (C-N) Zone. The subject parcel is a Nonconforming Lot, as it does not meet minimum area or width requirements for the Neighborhood Commercial (C-N) Zone (see Table 1: Site Information). It was previously developed with a single-family dwelling, which has been demolished, and a replacement dwelling is under construction. There are no significant natural features, apart from landscape planters along the street frontage. The site is within a wedge-shaped portion of the block between Broad and Santa Barbara, which comes to a point at the intersection of those streets. The surrounding area is characterized by a mix of residential and commercial uses. North of the site, along Broad, are single- and multi- family residential structures, many of which accommodate commercial uses. Adjacent to the project, for example, is a building with a chiropractor office and two dwellings. South and west of the site, the character is more strongly commercial, including a car wash, restaurants, and a liquor store and cocktail lounge, and retail shops. To the east of the site is the back side of appliance and furnishing stores (Pacific Energy Co. and Brooks Woodcraft) along Santa Barbara Avenue, within the Railroad Historic District. 3.0 PROJECT INFORMATION 3.1 Project Description The proposed project replaces the original, demolished, portion of a recently-expanded single- family dwelling, and adds a third story to the building, resulting in a three-story single-family residence. The living room, dining room, and kitchen have been relocated to the new third floor, with a new bathroom. A large master bedroom, with a new master dressing room, master Table 1: Site Information Site Area ± 4,830 sq. ft. (6,000 sq. ft. minimum in C-N) Site Width ± 55 ft.

The den has been relocated to the second floor. At the ground level, the garage is expanded to provide two additional parking spaces (for three spaces in total), and a new entertainment room, exercise room, and garage storage room have been added. The original design of the approved addition, which is already under construction, alternated smooth-troweled cement plaster with cedar wood screen wall surfaces. The cement plaster has been retained on the lower levels, except along the second-floor parapet and building wall of the south building elevation, which are proposed to be covered in black metal siding.1 Cedar wood screen walls have been eliminated. Redwood is used as a contrasting accent feature, and the new third floor is sided entirely in redwood slats with mahogany stain, over smooth cement board. A sloped standing seam metal roof with attached photovoltaic panels tops the structure. A 10-foot block privacy wall will be extended around the southern and eastern borders of the property. 4.0 PROJECT EVALUATION Plans for this project have been reviewed for consistency with the General Plan , development standards in the City’s Zoning Regulations, and with guidance provided in the City’s Community Design Guidelines. As proposed, the project is not fully consistent with applicable standards and guidelines, and inconsistencies are identified and discussed in this report. Items of note include the proposed site walls, exterior surface materials and detailing, and the height and scale of the structure. Staff recommends that the Commission provide direction to the applicant on the application of design standards and guidelines to the proposed project and continue review of the project to a date uncertain. Staff has developed several directional items to guide the Commission’s review of the project. 1 Character renderings of the project suggest the parapet and south walls are finished with smooth plaster, however, the project Color Board specifies metal siding for these surfaces. Figure 1: Original design of addition left; New (proposed) design right ATTACHMENT 5 ARC2 - 30 ARCH-2764-2016 (2102 Broad) Page 4 3.1 Development Standards The proposed project is consistent with most development standards with the exception of wall and building height limits, as discussed below. According to density calculations described in Zoning Regulations § 17.16.010, the site supports a maximum residential density of 1.33 density units. Project plans depict two bedrooms within the expanded dwelling, with a density unit value of 1.00, within the allowed density for the site. Adequate yards are provided, and building coverage is within maximum limits for the C-N Zone. Three parking spaces are provided, where only 2 are required, and all are covered within a garage.

The building rises to just over 38 feet in height. This exceeds the maximum 35-foot height limit in the C-N Zone. The roof includes building-integrated photovoltaic panels (Figure 3). Zoning Regulations allow components of a solar energy system to extend not more than 10 feet above the maximum building height (§ 17.16.040). Solar panels are integrated into the building roof, which is supported by building walls that extend beyond the maximum building height (by about a foot) where they meet the bottom of the roof. This design does not meet the intent of allowing additional height for solar energy systems. Figure 2: Roof line at top of building, exceeds height limit ATTACHMENT 5 ARC2 - 31 ARCH-2764-2016 (2102 Broad) Page 5 The allowance was not intended to permit additional building height when a roof includes building-integrated solar panels. The height of the building, including the roof, must be reduced to comply with the maximum height limit (35 feet) for the C-N Zone. As discussed below, further reduction in height is also necessary for consistency with Community Design Guidelines related to building scale, massing and neighborhood compatibility. Walls. The project includes 10-foot tall block walls (Figure 4) enclosing the area in front of the entertainment room on the west side of the building, and extending along the southerly and easterly property lines. Project renderings suggest that these will be plastered, and have the appearance of being integrated into the building form. If walls are attached to a building, they are not allowed to encroach into required yards (Zoning Regulations § 17.16.050 (C) (2)). Within required yards, they are subject to height limitations set forth in Zoning Regulations Chapter § 17.16. Wall height is measured from the adjacent grade along the lower side, at the base of the wall. Fences or walls may be located on a retaining wall, in which case their combined height is not to exceed 9 feet (Zoning § 17.16.050 (E.2)). A screening wall exists along the southerly border of the property, adjacent to the Sunset Car Wash (Figure 5). Taller screening is appropriate at this boundary, given its location at the border of a commercial zone. However, special attention should be paid to the design and materials used for screening, to achieve a result that provides adequate noise reduction and privacy without creating a towering effect over the neighboring property. The height of the block wall should be lowered so that the combined height of the retaining wall and the block wall does not exceed 9 feet from the lower side, consistent with wall height limits. Figure 3: Solar Panels Figure 4: Block walls Figure 5: Wall along southerly boundary ATTACHMENT 5 ARC2 - 32 ARCH-2764-2016 (2102 Broad) Page 6 Additional height to enhance screening between the dwelling and the neighboring car wash is appropriate. A Fence Height Exception (FEX 77-09) was granted in 2009 to allow a tall wood fence, not to exceed 9.5 feet in height, along the boundary with the car wash, for noise reduction and privacy. Similarly, taller screening in this area should be allowed, but that portion above 6 feet from grade should be limited to a material that appears less permanent in nature than concrete block, such as wood, in combination with landscaping (for example, screening hedges on the interior side of the wall). 3.2 Community Design Guidelines The City’s Community Design Guidelines (CDG) provide guidance for residential project design. The building proposed for this project exhibits an interesting architectural character using quality materials, but there are several elements of the project that are inconsistent with applicable guidelines. These inconsistencies are especially apparent in the height of the building, it relation to the street and surroundings, and details related to exterior finish materials. These inconsistencies are discussed below, along with directional items to address them. New single-family homes on infill lots are to comply with certain standards for Infill Development: Infill development should be compatible in scale, siting, detailing, and overall character with adjacent buildings and those in the immediate neighborhood. This is crucial when a new or remodeled house is proposed to be larger than others in the neighborhood. When new homes are developed adjacent to older ones, the height and bulk of the new construction can have a negative impact on adjacent, smaller scale buildings. (CDG § 5.3 (A.1)). Scale and height. As discussed above, the proposed building rises three stories, to just over 38 feet in height, exceeding the maximum height limit in the C-N Zone. Surrounding buildings are an eclectic mix of residential and commercial structures one and two stories in height. For reference, the nearby City Fire Station No. 1 rises to 35 feet at its highest point, but the majority of the building mass is between 18 and 24 feet in height. Figure 6: Addition under construction, in context ATTACHMENT 5 ARC2 - 33 ARCH-2764-2016 (2102 Broad) Page 7 The addition that was approved for this site, which is currently under construction and shown in Figure 5 above, is 25.5 feet in height. This height is consistent with that of taller apartment and commercial buildings in the neighborhood. (Figure 6). The building is now already prominently visible over surrounding structures from other vantage points at higher elevations of the City (e.g. at Rachel and Florence, due east of the site, across the railroad tracks, see Figure 7). An additional story would cause the building to be overly-prominent and out of scale and character with the site and surrounding development. Fences and Walls. In addition to being unusually tall, the proposed block privacy wall (Figure 8) extends along the southern and eastern site boundary without break or relief. Design guidelines suggest offsets and landscaping to avoid a monotonous effect: Long, monotonous fences or walls should be avoided. Fences and walls should be offset at least every 10 feet. Landscaping should be installed in offset areas where appropriate. Landscaping along fences and walls should be coordinated with the street tree planting scheme. (CDG § 6.1 (B.3)) The design of the proposed privacy screening should be modified for greater consistency with this guideline. Exterior Finish Materials. Community Design Guidelines provide guidance on exterior finish materials: The thoughtful selection of building materials can enhance desired neighborhood qualities such as compatibility, continuity, and harmony. The design of infill residential structures should incorporate an appropriate mixture of the predominant materials found in the neighborhood. Common materials in San Luis Obispo are smooth, troweled, or sand-finished stucco, wood, horizontal clapboard siding, shingles, brick, and stone. (CDG § 5.3 (E)) Figure 7: Addition (2 stories) under construction (seen from Rachel and Florence) Figure 8: Block walls ATTACHMENT 5 ARC2 - 34 ARCH-2764-2016 (2102 Broad) Page 8 The original design of the approved addition alternated smooth-troweled cement plaster with cedar wood screen wall surfaces. Plaster and wood are also the primary materials used in the new design. However, the southerly building wall and the parapet feature along the top of the second level is proposed to be finished with metal siding (Figure 9), with a horizontal pattern, rather than the original cement plaster. Wood and plaster are common materials used for residential development in the vicinity of the site, but horizontal metal siding is not. While metal is found in a handful of more industrial buildings in the Railroad District to the north and east, masonry and wood predominate on commercial and residential structures in the vicinity of the site. The use of metal siding on this building would not enhance compatibility, continuity, or harmony with the qualities of the surrounding neighborhood, and should be eliminated for greater consistency with design guidelines for exterior materials. The horizontal orientation of the metal siding also lends a strong patterning to the south building elevation that is considerably more active than the subdued plaster surface of the original design. The City encourages well-articulated, but not cluttered building elevations. Large roof and wall planes unrelieved by shadow or texture interest are generally not acceptable. However, too many elevation details can overwhelm, and appear awkward, gaudy, and/or chaotic. (CDG § 2.2 (B)) Repetition of this horizontal pattern by the wood balcony railings, redwood wood screen, and horizontal wood siding on the upper-floors provides an amount of relief and visual interest on this elevation that may be overly exuberant (Figure 10). Figure 9: Metal siding Figure 10: Exuberant horizontal patterning (South Elevation) ATTACHMENT 5 ARC2 - 35 ARCH-2764-2016 (2102 Broad) Page 9 Entries. Entries are an important element of the design residential development: All houses should have their primary entrance facing and clearly visible from the street, with a front porch or verandah encouraged to provide a transition between the public space of the streetscape and the indoor private space of the house. (CDG § 5.5 (A.3) The main entry to the dwelling is on the south wall of the building, behind the privacy wall. A wood gate is the only clue to the presence of the entry. A trellis, arbor, or other site feature, along with landscaping, should be employed to draw attention to, and highlight, the entry area, and to provide a transition into the interior of the site. 5.0 DIRECTIONAL ITEMS Directional Item 1: Reduce building height Reduce the height of the building by eliminating the third floor to comply with the building height limit applicable to the C-N Zone, and to achieve consistency with the scale and height of adjacent buildings and those in the immediate neighborhood. The proposed building height does not conform to height limitations in Zoning Regulations and at three stories is not consistent with Community Design Guidelines related to compatible building scale and massing. Directional Item 2: Reduce the height of privacy walls and incorporate aesthetically pleasing materials. Reduce the height of the block privacy wall to conform to the maximum height limits described in Zoning Regulations § 17.16.050 (A). The limit is 6 feet high in an “Other Yard.” Where the wall is located on top of a retaining wall, the combined height of the block wall and the retaining wall may not exceed 9 feet, as measured from adjacent grade on the lower side of the retaining wall, in conformance with Zoning Regulations § 17.16.050 (E). Between the dwelling and car wash, additional screening may be incorporated into the privacy wall design, for noise reduction and privacy, consistent with the prior fence height exception granted for the property. Limit the height of any additional screening so that the wall and additional screening together do not exceed 9.5 feet in height, as measured from adjacent grade along the lower side of the wall, at its base (on the subject site). For any additional screening provided (above a 6-foot height), use materials with a less permanent appearance, such as wood. Landscaping that provides a naturalistic detail (for example, hedges and trees) is also appropriate for noise reduction and privacy. Maintain landscaping between the block wall and the top of the existing car wash screening wall. Offset fences and walls at least every 10 feet and use landscaping in offset areas where appropriate, consistent with Community Design Guidelines § 6.1 (B.3). Figure 11: Subtle building entry ATTACHMENT 5 ARC2 - 36 ARCH-2764-2016 (2102 Broad) Page 10 Directional Item 3: Eliminate metal siding Eliminate the use of patterned metal siding on this building. Wood and masonry materials that enhance the compatibility, continuity, and harmony between the project and the surrounding neighborhood are encouraged, for consistency with Community Design Guidelines § 5.3 (E). Directional Item 4: Entries Employ landscaping and appropriate site features, such as trellises or arbors, to draw attention to, and highlight, the entry area, and to provide a transition into the interior of the site, consistent with Community Design Guidelines § 5.5 (A.3). 5.0 ATTACHMENTS 1.
