• The architectural theme of the proposed development is a combination of Arts and Crafts and Main Street, Pleasanton design elements, such as reclaimed timber, wood siding, prairie -style and gooseneck lamps, brick and limestone masonry, black and champagne - colored aluminum door /window frames, and green metal roof areas. • Building colors are predominantly earth tones with a variety of body and trim colors. • Common design elements of materials, design details, and forms visually link the individual buildings while at the same time achieving the individual buildings' design identity • The building designs provide significant articulation and variation of building heights, volumes, and massing. • The buildings are designed with four -sided architectural design massing and detailing on all building sides, and with design details and elements that establish a "pedestrian scale" to the overall building designs. Large -size building material and color boards will be presented to the Planning Commission at the Planning Commission hearing. The Planning Commission requested a comparison of the proposed Safeway building floor area — 58,000 square feet — to comparable Safeway stores in the Tri- Valley area. Table 3, below, provides the building floor areas for five Safeway grocery stores in Pleasanton, Dublin, Livermore, and San Ramon.
