The project has been designed to be consistent with the Community Design Guidelines (CDG) and is requesting a 20% mixed-use parking reduction, no other exceptions have been requested as part of this application. ARC1 - 1 DD ARCH-0652-2017 435 Marsh Street Page 2 1.0 COMMISSION’S PURVIEW The ARC’s role is to review the project in terms of its consistency with the General Plan, Zoning Regulations, Community Design Guidelines, and other applicable policy documents. 2.0 PROJECT INFORMATION Site Information/Setting Site Size ~0.31 acres Present Use & Development Retail Commercial, formally occupied by Landis Auto Service Topography Relatively Flat Access Marsh Street & Carmel Street Surrounding Use/Zoning North: C-R (Offices and Restaurant) South: R-4 (Multi-family & Single Family Residences) East: C-R (Offices) West: C-R (Car Wash and Auto Repair) Project Description A summary of significant project features includes the following (Attachment 2, Reduced Project Plans): 1. Site Plan: New four-story mixed-use building (22,434 sq. ft.), with parking garages interior to the site. • Eight residential units • Two commercial/retail tenant spaces (1,100 sq. ft.) • Ficas tree removal • 20% mixed-use parking reduction 2.

Applicant’s project plans 2. City Zoning Regulations ARC1 - 2 ARCH-0652-2017 435 Marsh Street Page 3 3.0 PROJECT ANALYSIS The proposed improvements must conform to the standards and limitations of the Zoning Regulations and Engineering Standards, and be consistent with applicable CDG. Staff has evaluated the project against relevant standards and guidelines and found it to be in substantial compliance, as discussed in this analysis. Consistency with the Community Design Guidelines The CDG establish the intent of the development objectives for commercial projects that consider San Luis Obispo’s small town scale and demonstrate sensitivity to the design context of the surrounding area. The CDG establish the intent of the development standards for infill development projects to be compatible in scale, siting, detailing, and overall character with adjacent buildings and those in the immediate neighborhood. 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 5.4A). New development should provide a transition between the street and the project through definition of the building entries, walkways and landscaping (CDG 2.1D). The project orients the commercial uses along Marsh Street and provides residential units on the upper levels. The applicant has proposed to provide majority of the residential parking within the individual garages and parking for the commercial uses on the ground level accessed from Carmel Street. The project would consolidate the existing driveways on both Marsh and Carmel Streets to one driveway on Carmel Street. The project’s parking area is not a dominant visual element of the site and is screened by a structure that is oriented toward the major street frontage. Building Design: A building’s design should provide a sense of human scale and proportion. Horizontal and vertical wall articulation should be expressed through the use of wall offsets, recessed windows and entries, awnings, full roofs with overhangs, second floor setbacks, or covered arcades. (CDG 3.2). Designs should demonstrate a consistent use of colors, materials, and detailing throughout all elevations of the building. Elevations which do not directly face a street should not be ignored or receive only minimal architectural treatment (CDG 3.1.B.3). The structure demonstrates 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. The project includes pedestrian-scale features including storefront windows, planter boxes, light fixtures, and balconies. All elevations are visually interesting and receive interesting architectural treatments that enhance views of the structures from all views on and off site1. 1 Community Design Guidelines Chapter 5, Section 5.4 C.1: Façade and roof articulation. A structure with three or more attached units should incorporate wall and roof articulation to reduce apparent scale. Changes in wall planes and roof heights, and the inclusion of elements such as balconies, porches, arcade, dormers, and cross gables can avoid the barracks-like quality of long flat walls and roofs. ARC1 - 3 ARCH-0652-2017 435 Marsh Street Page 4 Street Trees: The applicant has requested removal of one large ficus street tree, located on Marsh Street, to “reinforce the architectural rhythm of the primary building façade,” and to provide a consistent urban landscape with the planting of six new street trees (two along Marsh Street and four along Carmel Street). The City Arborist recommended that the ficus tree remain, due to its healthy condition, and this species’ ability to withstand heavy pruning. The City Arborist has reviewed the project plans and recommends Conditions No. 33 and 34 which require that the project construction plans address any necessary foundation design to accommodate the root system of the tree, and coordination regarding tree protection and trimming practices. ARC Discussion Item #1: Based on the City Arborist’s review of the project and tree removal request, it is Staff’s recommendation to retain the existing ficus street tree. The ARC should discuss 1) the applicant’s request to remove the ficus tree and the City Arborist’s recommendation to retain the tree and 2) proposed Conditions No. 32 and 33 (Attachment 1). If the ARC disagrees with the City Arborist’s recommendation and approves removal of the ficus street tree, the Tree Committee will consider the applicant’s request pursuant to the Tree Ordinance2. Trash Enclosure: The CDG state that required trash enclosures should be located away from public streets and primary building entrances so that their use does not interfere with on-site parking or circulation areas, and adjacent uses. The trash enclosure has been located along Carmel Street adjacent to the driveway. Condition No. 4 requires design improvements to the trash enclosure as viewed from the public right-of-way by requiring the enclosure to be designed with high quality materials to match the architecture of the project3. Consistency with the Zoning Regulations The project design complies with building setbacks, lot coverage, density, and building height requirements for the Commercial Retail (C-R) zone (see Section 2.0 Project Statistics). The Zoning Regulations 17.08.72 Mixed Use Projects state that the design of mixed use projects shall consider potential impacts on adjacent properties and designed compatible with the adjacent and surrounding residential neighborhood. Parking: The project requires 26 vehicle parking spaces (20 spaces for eight residential units and 6 spaces for 1,100 square feet of commercial space – based on a request for a more intensive use requirement of 1/200 rather than 1/300). The applicant is requesting a 20% parking reduction, resulting in the provision of 21 vehicle spaces onsite. The project qualifies for a parking reduction of 20% because the project includes commercial and residential uses and it is 2 Tree Ordinance Section 12.24.090.E.2.c: If architectural review is required for the development, the architectural review commission shall approve or deny the application: (1) If the city arborist has recommended denying the application and the architectural review commission has approved the appli cation, the tree committee shall review the architectural review commission’s decision. 3 Community Design Guidelines Chapter 6.1F.3 Miscellaneous Design Details. If space constraints or excessive site slope mandate that a trash/recycling enclosure be installed in a street yard, then it should be: located so it gates do not face the street; finished with high quality materials to match the architecture of the project buildings; and utilize surrounding landscaping to further screen and enhance its appearance. Screening techniques such as trailing vines on walls, berming along side and rear walls, and overhead trellises are all encouraged. ARC1 - 4 ARCH-0652-2017 435 Marsh Street Page 5 anticipated that the times of peak parking demand would not coincide4, parking is adequate for the proposed project and all uses on-site. Condition No. 6 includes a requirement that the property owner must submit a running total of the site’s parking requirements and hours of operation with the submittal of any building permit for tenant improvements, and/or each business license. 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The project is categorically exempt under Class 32, In -Fill Development Projects; Section 15332 of the State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, because the project is consistent with General Plan policies for the land use designation and is consistent with the applicable zoning designation and regulations. The project site occurs on a property of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses that has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species as the site is located on a developed property and is served by required utilities and public services. The project has been reviewed by the City Public Works Department, Transportation Division, and no significant traffic impacts were identified, based on the size and location of the project. 5.0 OTHER DEPARTMENT COMMENTS Comments from the other City departments have been incorporated into the Draft Resolution as conditions of approval. 6.0 ALTERNATIVES 6.1. Continue the project with direction to the applicant and staff on pertinent issues. 6.2. Deny the project based on findings of inconsistency with the General Plan, Zoning Regulations, Community Design Guidelines, or other policy document. 7.0 ATTACHMENTS 1. Draft Resolution 2. Reduced Project Plans Available at the Community Development Department: Project Plans Available at ARC Hearing: Colors and Materials Board 4 Zoning Regulations Sections 17.16.060.B and C: Where two or more uses share common parking areas, the total number of parking spaces required may be reduced by up to 10% with approval of an administrative use permit and by approving an administrative use permit, the Director may reduce the parking requirement for projects sharing parking by up to 20%, in addition to the sh ared parking reduction, for a total maximum parking reduction of 30%, upon finding that the times of maximum parking demand from various uses will not coincide.

The proposed project is consistent with Land Use Element policies 2.3.6 (Housing & Businesses) and 3.8.5 (Mixed Uses), because the project provides residential dwellings within a commercial district that is appropriate and compatible with the existing neighborhood. 4. The project is consistent with the Housing Element because the project provides a variety of Attachment 1 ARC1 - 6 Resolution No. ARC-XXXX-17 435 Marsh, 1210 & 1218 Carmel Streets, ARCH-0652-2017 Page 2 residential types, sizes, and style of dwellings (HE Goal 5), and encourages the development of housing above ground-level commercial uses (HE 5.3). 5. As conditioned, the project design is consistent with the Community Design Guidelines by providing a variety of architectural treatments that add visual interest and articulation to the building design that complements the design and scale of the existing structures in the surrounding neighborhood (CDG, Chapter 5.4). 6. As conditioned, the project design is consistent with the Community Design Guidelines by providing a variety of architectural treatments that add visual interest and articulation to the building design that complements the design and scale of the existing structures on-site, and by providing clearly defined customer entrances. 7. As conditioned, the project is consistent with the Zoning Regulations for Mixed-Use Projects (Section 17.08.072), since the proposed building design complies with design and performance standards for mixed-use development and is consistent with all property development standards including height, coverage, and setbacks for the Commercial Retail (C-R) zone. 8. The proposed project complies with San Luis Obispo Municipal Code Section 17.16.060 A., Parking Space Requirements, in that it satisfies the intent of that section which is "...to minimize the area devoted exclusively to parking and drives when typical demands may be satisfied more efficiently by shared facilities." Moreover, the project satisfies the requirement for a mixed-use parking reduction in accordance with the provisions of Section 17.16.060 C., because the times of maximum parking demand from the proposed uses will not coincide. 9. The proposed parking reduction will be safe, and will not be detrimental to the surrounding area or cause a decline in quality of life because the project is located proxi mate to adjacent uses such as retail, restaurants, offices, employment, and auto services, which are in close proximity to a transit stop allowing for alternative modes of transportation such as walking, biking, or taking public transportation. SECTION 2. Environmental Review. The project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it consists of the redevelopment of the project site consistent with policies and standards applicable to development within a General Retail area, on a site less than five acres in size, with no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species, as described in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 (Infill Development). The site is within City limits and is served by City utilities and public services. Based on the location, size, and area and quantity of commercial and residential components of the development, approval of the project will not result in any significant effects related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. SECTION 3. Action. The project conditions of approval do not include mandatory code requirements. Code compliance will be verified during the plan check process, which may include Attachment 1 ARC1 - 7 Resolution No. ARC-XXXX-17 435 Marsh, 1210 & 1218 Carmel Streets, ARCH-0652-2017 Page 3 additional requirements applicable to the project.

PROJECT ADDRESS: 1135 Santa Rosa St. BY: Walter Oetzell, Assistant Planner Phone: 781-7593 E-mail: woetzell@slocity.org FILE NUMBER: ARCH-0722-2017 FROM: Doug Davidson, Deputy Director RECOMMENDATION Adopt the draft resolution denying the requested changes to approved building colors and design, based on findings of inconsistency with applicable General Plan policies and Community Design Guidelines. SITE DATA Applicant 33 Tons, LLC Representative Ben Kulick, Stalwork, Inc. Submittal Date June 12, 2017 General Plan General Retail Zoning Downtown-Commercial (C-D) Environmental Status Categorically Exempt (CEQA Guidelines §15301. Existing Facilities) SUMMARY The applicant, 33 Tons, LLC, has submitted a request to modify the application ARCH-0846-2015, under which the remodeling and expansion of a commercial building at 1135 Santa Rosa was approved. The modifications requested are: a change in the building’s approved colors; and elimination of a cut-tile bulkhead feature that was proposed along the bottom of wall surfaces along the Marsh Street side of the building (see Attachment 3). ARC2 - 1 dd ARCH-0722-2017 (1135 Santa Rosa) Page 2 The project was first reviewed by the Commission on May 18, 2015, and approved on July 6, 2015,1 subject to several conditions including the following: Final project design and construction drawings submitted for a building permit shall be in substantial compliance with the project plans approved by the ARC. […]. 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. (Condition 1). In completing the project, the approved design and colors were changed without approval, contrary to the terms of Condition 1 of project approval. The building color was changed to a single shade of grey which did not match the color scheme approved by the Commission , and a cut-tile bulkhead feature on the Marsh Street side of the building was not installed (see Figure 1). A Notice of Violation (Attachment 5) was sent to the property owner on May 19, 2017 as a courtesy warning, seeking voluntary correction of the observed violations. The applicant requested that the Commission consider approval of the proposed modifications to the approved design and colors, in order to allow retention of the single-color scheme and elimination of the cut-tile bulkhead feature. On July 10, 2017, the Commission reviewed the proposed changes and continued consideration of the request to a future date (Attachment 4). Direction was provided to the applicant to work with staff toward a solution that would be more consistent with approved colors and design, using appropriate base and accent colors to provide differentiation and articulation of building forms that would reduce the perceived massiveness of the building, to maintaining and a human-scale element for variety and interest along the Marsh Street frontage. In response to this direction, the applicant has concluded that no such solution can be reached, stating in subsequent communication (Attachment 7) that, among other points, the building is, on the whole, consistent with applicable Community Design Guidelines, and that no applicable guideline requires or suggests multiple colors for buildings, or covers articulation and detail of wall surfaces. 1 Minutes of prior meetings are provided in Attachment 4 (Project Approvals). Prior Agenda Reports are available in the Architectural Review Commission Document Archive on the City’s website: www.slocity.org/government/advisory-bodies/agendas-and-minutes/architectural-review-commission/ Figure 1: Remodeled building, as completed ARC2 - 2 ARCH-0722-2017 (1135 Santa Rosa) Page 3 1.0 COMMISSION’S PURVIEW The Commission’s role is to review the proposed changes to the approved design and colors for consistency with the City’s Community Design Guidelines and with conditions of project approval, and decide whether the modifications may be approved. 2.0 SITE LOCATION AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION The site is located at the northwest corner of Marsh and Santa Rosa Streets at the edge of the Downtown-Commercial (C-D) Zone, across the street from Cheng Park, a small “pocket park,” with office and commercial buildings in the vicinity. The site was developed with a two-story commercial building originall y constructed in 1982 as a bank branch. The remodeling project, reviewed and approved under application ARCH-0846-2015, and completed in April, 2017, expanded the building within the existing building footprint, transforming it into a more rectangular, contemporary design (see Figure 2), and adding two residential units on a new third floor. The approved project has a two-color scheme consisting of alternating lighter and darker shades of grey, and a cut-tile bulkhead on the south elevation, along a portion of the Marsh Street frontage. 3.0 EVALUATION OF CHANGES Evaluation of this request is focused on determining whether the proposed changes in design and colors are consistent with the City’s Community Design Guidelines. Applicable design guidance for projects downtown is provided in Chapter 2 (General Design Principles) and Chapter 4 (Downtown Design Guidelines) of the document. 3.1 Colors and building design As mentioned in the Project Description above, the approved color scheme employs two complementary shades of grey as the primary building colors: a lighter shade called “Oyster Figure 2: Rendering of project, depicting approved color scheme ARC2 - 3 ARCH-0722-2017 (1135 Santa Rosa) Page 4 Haze” and a darker shade named “City Loft” (see Figure 3). These complementary colors provide differentiation and articulation of the building’s component forms that lessened the perceived massiveness of the building as a whole. The project was instead completed using a single color, a darker shade of grey described as “Custom Merlex Blend.” Its application as a single-color scheme results in a monolithic appearance that lacks the contrast, relief, and visual interest evident in the approved two-color scheme. Wood wall surfaces and window glass area on building elevations seen from Santa Rosa and Higuera provide a measure of contrast and visual interest, but the building exhibits a notably heavier, more massive appearance when viewed from Marsh Street, at the southwest corner of the building (Figure 3). The articulation of building forms provided by the contrasting shades of the approved colors is lost, which affects the balance and rhythm among these forms. General Plan policies set expectations for the quality and design of new development in the City,2 which are set out in greater detail in the City’s Community Design Guidelines. Guidance on balance, articulation, and massing, is provided in Chapter 2 of Community Design Guidelines: Keep building elements in proportion. Proportion, continuity, harmony, simplicity, rhythm and balance should prevail in building design. Building elements should be balanced and in proportion to one another. (§ 2.2 (A)) Strive for interest, not clutter. 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… (§ 2.2 (B)) Pay attention to details. Attention to detailing, and emphasis on vertical and horizontal articulation, are encouraged as tools to visually reduce the apparent mass of a building. (§ 2.2 (C)) 2 See Land Use Element Polices 12.3 and 4.20.6 Figure 3: Approved color scheme (left); color, as completed (right) ARC2 - 4 ARCH-0722-2017 (1135 Santa Rosa) Page 5 Specific guidelines for development downtown are provided in Chapter 4, including guidance on careful attention to finish materials to enrich a building’s character and avoid monotony: Finish materials. The exterior materials of downtown buildings involve several aspects including color, texture, and materials. (§ 4 (D) (1)) 3.2 Bulkhead Approved project plans included a cut-stone bulkhead feature along the Marsh Street side of the building (Figure 4), and this feature was not installed on the completed building. The applicant requests that the Commission approve the elimination of this feature, describing it as contrary to the honest use of materials; as a “stuck-on” treatment not fitting with the style of the building, and mimicking a flood control feature not required on this site (see item 2, Attachment 3). Design guidelines identify bulkheads as a desirable element of a commercial building façade, particularly in the downtown area, that should be prominent and visible.3 They are described as a base from which windows rise, and are common elements on downtown buildings, including several in the surrounding area. A suitable decorative element incorporated into the wall surface, consistent with the building’s contemporary style, and consistent with guidelines for honest use of authentic materials and treatments4 would provide variation and visual interest, as encouraged by Community Design Guidelines: Wall surfaces. Wall surfaces, particularly at the street level, should be varied and interesting, rather than unbroken and monolithic, because blank walls discourage pedestrian traffic. This can be achieved in a number of ways including: […] Constructing the facade with small human scale materials such as brick or decorative tile along bulkheads… (§ 4.2 (C) (5)) 3 See Community Design Guidelines § 4.2(C)(7) 4 See Community Design Guidelines § § 1.4(A)(1) & 2.2(D) Figure 4: Bulkhead feature, as approved (left); missing on completion (right) ARC2 - 5 ARCH-0722-2017 (1135 Santa Rosa) Page 6 4.0 CONCLUSION Changes proposed by the applicant to the approved colors and building design are not consistent with applicable Community Design Guidelines. The modified color scheme results in a building that is perceptibly heavier and more massive, as seen approaching it along Marsh Street. Its monolithic appearance has lost the balance and rhythm between building forms that the approved colors provided. Omission of the cut-tile bulkhead eliminates a small human scale, pedestrian- oriented, element that is a common, and encouraged, element on buildings within the downtown area. It is recommended that the Commission deny the request for changes to approved colors and project design. 5.0 ALTERNATIVE 5.1 Approve the requested modifications to color and project design, based on findings of consistency with the City’s Community Design Guidelines. 6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This application is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It involves minor alteration of an existing structure, as described in CEQA Guidelines § 15301 (Existing Facilities). 7.0 ATTACHMENTS 1. Draft Resolution 2. Vicinity Map 3.

Findings. The Architectural Review Commission hereby denies application ARCH-2764-2016, based on the following findings: 1. The requested changes to approved colors and project design are not consistent with the policies of the City’s General Plan that call for projects to meet the City’s expectation for the quality and design of new development as (Land Use Element Policy 12.3), and for street facades that include architectural details which can be appreciated by people on the sidewalks (Land Use Element Policy 4.20.6). The proposed new monochromatic building color scheme ATTACHMENT 1 ARC2 - 7 results in a building that is perceptibly heavier and more massive, as seen approaching it along Marsh Street, losing the balance and rhythm among building forms that the approved color scheme provides, contrary to the intent of Community Design Guidelines used in the review of proposed development projects. Elimination of the cut-tile bulkhead feature along the Marsh Street façade removes from the project design an architectural detail that is encouraged for sidewalk appeal (Land Use Element Policy 4.20.6) and by Community Design Guidelines. 2. The requested modifications are not consistent with the City’s Community Design Guidelines. The proposed new monochromatic building color scheme results in the loss of articulation and of balance and rhythm between building forms that the approved color scheme provided, causing the building to appear perceptibly heavier and more massive, as seen approaching it along Marsh Street. The resulting appearance does not exhibit the harmony, rhythm, and balance sought by guidance provided in § 2.2 (A), the articulation encouraged by § 2.2 (B), or the attention to detail and emphasis on articulation to visually reduce the apparent mass of a building called for in § 2.2 (C). The proposed elimination of the cut-tile bulkhead removes a small human-scale element that provides variation and interest to the wall surface at the Marsh Street level, contrary to the intent of § 4.2 (C) (5) encouraging such variation and interest. 3. The project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It involves minor alteration of an existing structure, as described in CEQA Guidelines § 15301 (Existing Facilities). SECTION 2. Action. The Architectural Review Commission hereby denies application ARCH-2764-2016, a request to modify application ARCH-0846-2015. On motion by Commissioner , seconded by Commissioner , and on the following roll call vote: AYES: NOES: REFRAIN: ABSENT: The foregoing resolution was passed and adopted this 11th day of September, 2017. _____________________________ Doug Davidson, Secretary Architectural Review Commission ATTACHMENT 1 ARC2 - 8 C-D O O C-R C-D C-D O C-R O C-D-H C-D C-D PF MARSH HIGUE R A S A N T A R O S A O S O S PACIF I C VICINITY MAP ARCH-0722-20171135 Santa Rosa ¯ ATTACHMENT 2 ARC2 - 9     Architectural Review Commission  Request for Modification  1135 Santa Rosa  Summary of Requests for Modification    1) Resolution No. ARC‐1013‐15   Corrective Action: Obtain approval from the Community Development Director or Architectural Review  Commission for the change of colors on the building    Approval Request:  The building color accurately reflects the color and style of neighboring properties and is the approximate  same color saturation as the ARC approved color. Architectural colors should be selected and appropriate  for the design intent, architecture, and time period of construction. Building colors that do no prove  successful are easily modified in the future. 1135 Santa Rosa is innovative and fully compatible with the  surrounding buildings. See complete package, presentation, and support.    2) Resolution No. ARC‐1013‐15   Corrective Action: Obtain approval from the Community Development Director or Architectural Review  Commission for the change in material [Bulk Head Removal]    Approval Request:  Modify ARC conditions to eliminate the bulkhead on the Marsh street elevation.    Justification:  1) Per Guidelines: “Materials should be used honestly.” A bulkhead is for flood control. This building  is not in a FEMA flood zone.  2) Per Guidelines: “Materials should be used honestly.” Applying a bulkhead to one elevation does  not serve the purpose of flood control.  3) Per Guidelines: “Artificial or decorative façade treatments, where one or more unrelated  materials appear stuck on to a building should be avoided.” This material is stuck on and is an  unrelated material.  4) The bulkhead is does not fit with the architectural style of the building and this feature is not a  historic feature of San Luis Obispo, but a recently applied element to new buildings per flood  control to serve a SPECIFIC purpose not required on this building. This element is a FEMA  requirement not required in anyway on this building. This feature is not historic nor is this  building in a historic zone.    3) Resolution No. ARC‐1013‐15  Corrective Action: Obtain approval from the Community Development Director or Architectural Review  Commission for the visible rooftop equipment or modify the placement of roof‐mounted equipment so that  it is not visible, or provide screening to conceal the equipment from view of public streets, and neighboring  properties, consistent with Community Design Guidelines § 6.1 (D).    Approval Request:  No modification requested. Mechanical screening is being installed.  ATTACHMENT 3 ARC2 - 10 SAN LUIS OBISPO ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMISSION MINUTES July 6, 2015 ROLL CALL: Present: Commissioners Patricia Andreen, Ken Curtis, Amy Nemcik, Allen Root, Angela Soll, Vice-Chair Suzan Ehdaie, and Chairperson Greg Wynn Absent: None Staff: Senior Planner Phil Dunsmore, Assistant Planner Walter Oetzell, and Recording Secretary Erica Inderlied ACCEPTANCE OF THE AGENDA: The agenda was accepted as presented.

Maintain the distinction between the first and upper floors by having a more transparent ground  floor. On upper floors, consider using windows or other architectural features that will reinforce  the typical rhythm of upper story windows found on traditional commercial buildings and  provide architectural interest on all four sides of the building; NOT APPLICABLE  b. Use roof overhangs, cornices, dentals, moldings, awnings, and other decorative features to  decrease the vertical appearance of the walls; NOT APPLICABLE  c. Use recesses and projections to visually divide building surfaces into smaller scale elements; NOT  APPLICABLE  d. Use color to visually reduce the size, bulk and scale of the building; NOT APPLICABLE‐ Please  make it very clear to ARC this section is 100% not applicable.  e. Consider the quality of natural and reflected light in public spaces within and around the project  site and choose materials and colors to enhance lighting effects with respect to available solar  exposure. NOT APPLICABLE  3) Overall character. In general, buildings should have either flat or stepped rooflines with parapets, AND  ESSENTIALLY FLAT FACADES. (This was been referenced in every ARC meeting on this project, downtown  buildings are actually REQUIRED to be boxes with flat facades, please make this clear. By guideline  buildings should be zero set back on all sides)  4) Dividing the facade into a series of display windows with smaller panes of glass;  5) Providing traditional recessed entries; and  6) Storefront windows should not begin at the level of the sidewalk, but should sit above a base, commonly  called a “bulkhead,” of 18 to 36 inches in height (NO STOREFRONT ON MARSH) (ARC had us lower the  windows, rendering a bulkhead inappropriate, including against guideline)  7) Finish materials. The exterior materials of downtown buildings involve several aspects including color,  texture, and materials. Materials with integral color such as smooth troweled plaster, tile, stone, and  brick are encouraged  8) Exterior plaster (smooth troweled preferred).  (This finish has been continuously and repeatedly  criticized by the ARC. Smooth Trowel is the only material in section 4 listed as preferred. Please correct  ARC on the guidelines and stress the importance of removing their personal opinions.)  9) Cut stone, rusticated block (cast stone), and precast concrete  10) Clear glass windows  ATTACHMENT 7 ARC2 - 35 3 11) The following exterior finish materials are considered inappropriate in the downtown and are  discouraged:  Mirrored glass and heavily tinted glass  Windows with false divisions (i.e., a window  where the glass continues uninterrupted behind a surface mounted mullion)  Vinyl and aluminum siding   Painted or baked enamel metal awnings  Rough “Spanish lace” stucco finish  Plywood siding   Corrugated sheet metal  Corrugated fiberglass  Split face concrete block  Exposed concrete block  without integral color.   12) Windows. Windows that allow pedestrians to see the activities within the ground floors of downtown  buildings are important in maintaining the pedestrian orientation of the downtown. Ground floor  windows adjacent to sidewalks encourage pedestrians to linger, while extensive blank walls do not.  13) Awnings. Awnings should be retained and/or incorporated where feasible and compatible with the  storefront.  14) Other details. A number of other details should be incorporated into exterior building design to add a  degree of visual richness and interest while meeting functional needs. These details include such items as: a. Light fixtures, wall mounted  b. Balconies, rails, finials, corbels, plaques, etc.  c. Crafted artworks.      In our review of the meeting I don’t believe a single design element was referenced to the appropriate guideline  nor was a specific guideline by chapter and letter referenced in the meeting. Specific wording from the guidelines  WAS referenced and ALL from the wrong chapter. This project is not in a historical zone and those design  parameters are completely irrelevant as well. This requires correction and training for your commission by city  staff and the chairperson.    There is absolutely NO guideline requiring or suggesting multi‐color buildings. Actually quite the contrary. What  the ARC “thinks” looks better has absolutely nothing to do with the application of the guidelines. ARC should be  corrected on this and refer to the guideline. There is not a SINGLE reference in a section that governs this building  in reference to multiple colors. NOT ONE.    Additionally the majority focus of the meeting was on a zero set back side of the building. This should be a solid  uninterrupted wall by GUIDELINE. Any articulation or detail what so ever is actually outside of guideline. This  elevation is not in public view by rule, it borders another zero set back property. Please clarify this with the  committee. Asking for color or thinking this wall surface lacks articulation or detail is not in ARC privy and the  standard is a flat continuous wall.    I have attached a design matrix to exhibit the building meeting not some, but every single applicable guideline.  This is the process ARC should review, not personal preferences. Also attached is a downtown map that clearly  shows the uniqueness of this building site. You will NOTE not one criteria is color. This is because this is not a  guideline.    I respectfully request you call another ARC meeting and approve the project “as‐is” in light of the committee’s  misapplication of standards.    I was also disappointed that the ARC requests renderings and photos of neighboring properties on a routine basis. I  supplied photos at the hearing. As you may or may not be aware, your committee did not look at them. I believe  this is disrespectful to the applicant. This comment was made to me by most of the audience members. I surely  noticed as well.    Thank you Greg.    STALWORK, INC.   CONSTRUCTION + DESIGN  ATTACHMENT 7 ARC2 - 36 4 License #948012    P.O. Box 391  San Luis Obispo, California 93406  O   805.542.0033  F    805.542.0837  ben@stalwork.com  www.stalwork.com      ATTACHMENT 7 ARC2 - 37 1135 Santa Rosa - R e m o d e l + A d d i t i o n 6 / 5 / 2 0 1 5 Community Design G u i d e l i n e s M a t r i x SECTION GUIDELINE Y E S N O N O T E S 4.2.AStreet orientation.
