C. Are the proposed building colors and materials acceptable? The Commission felt that using different colors for each site was appropriate. They agreed with the applicant that the colors of Site 1 complemented the adjacent office buildings and the colors of Site 2 complemented the adjacent residential development. The Commission requested that larger color chips/samples be provided to help determine the actual colors since the plans are computer generated colors and don't truly represent the colors. D. Is the positioning of the buildings acceptable? The Commission was supportive of the positioning of the buildings for both sites. One Commissioner noted that the corner of Willow Road and Owens Drive (Site 1) was well designed and liked the positioning of the garages and how they are not exposed to the to the streets. E. Is the size of the public park on Site 2 acceptable (.55-acres)? The Commission felt the park size was acceptable, although they wished it could have been larger. Some expressed how it would be nice to expand the park onto the adjacent Shaklee property someday to make a larger park. F. What information would the Planning Commission wish to see to assist its decision on the proposals? The Commission requested more viewscapes and detailed visuals to the greatest extent possible and additional detail work on the entryways for both sites when the application returns for a formal recommendation. The request was made to also have feedback from the Pleasanton Police Department indicating that the plans for Site 1 were reviewed and confirmation from the applicant that there will be on-site management security for both sites. One Commissioner requested specific details on the connection to the Iron Horse Trail to the two sites and whether there will be gates or if it will be open and the type of access across the parking lots to the trail. The request was made that the tot lot amenities, with their locations noted, and the view across the tot lots be incorporated into the plans when the application returns to the Commission for a formal recommendation. One Commissioner requested that bike parking or locker details be included in the plans to see what they look like and how they are accessed. The request was also made to have confirmation that the projects conform to the Pleasanton Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. Since the Planning Commission work session, the applicant has made revisions to the plans to address the Commissions comments. Those revisions are reflected in the plans in Attachment 1, Exhibit B-1 and Attachment 2, Exhibit B-2 and are discussed in the Hacienda TOD Standards and Guidelines section of this report.
