an ideal spot to create a mixed-use project and change the scale of Owens Drive to <br /> make it more inviting and more pedestrian. <br /> Mr. Thatch stated that what they have achieved and are doing on the site is creating <br /> connections back to the center, to the office park, to the retail, and the creek. He added <br /> that the 1.5-mile trail surrounding the whole site will also make connections to the parks <br /> and the paseos and will enhance the project. He indicated that creating the corner <br /> plaza can engage more pedestrian activities so that it is more people-activated on that <br /> edge. He continued that coming down the street, they created the architecture that <br /> brings the entries closer to the street to make it more interesting as well as an <br /> interesting drive street line that relates back to the center and makes the connection to <br /> the corporate center. <br /> Mr. Thatch stated that they have the taller building, the podium building, farther down, <br /> which is set a little bit farther back. He added that they have also created a plaza and <br /> garden areas in front of those units as well as stoops and front porches to activate it and <br /> bring people to the street and create a more pedestrian environment in the architecture <br /> and the character of the land plan. With respect to the retail area, he indicated that they <br /> have broken the buildings in order to create this energy and connection back to the <br /> center of the project, the residence, the retail, the office building, and the plaza area out <br /> there. <br /> Mr. Thatch stated that their buildings around the retail have three- and four-sided <br /> architecture with entries on both sides from the parking lot and the street, making it a <br /> very engaging building to the street and to the neighborhood. He added that they are <br /> working with the trees and some of the landscape elements from Bishcp Ranch, but this <br /> will be a little bit smaller than before in order to create the plaza behind it for a little <br /> more security away from the street while still being able to activate it to have a pleasant <br /> place for people to sit and see things going by. He continued that the architecture is <br /> more contemporary in nature, and the retail area is eclectic with a residential mix to it. <br /> Mr. Thatch stated that the main entry into the residential in the middle block off of <br /> Owens Drive presents some character with a variety of different scales and some strong <br /> geometric forms. He noted that some roof forms are more residential in character with <br /> a lot of up-and-down movement in architecture, and the windows utilizes a lot of glazing <br /> that will bring a lot of light, creating contemporary floor plans. <br /> Mr. Thatch stated that the project will include a very nice clubhouse and lounge for <br /> multipurpose use of residents for yoga, recreation, and a bike shop with all the tools <br /> where people can work on their bikes. He added that the area also has connections to <br /> bike trails, along with a pool that is big enough for laps, and a business leasing and <br /> conference center which can be used by residents who will hopefully choose to work at <br /> home. He noted that along with this synergy of a village center is the creation of a <br /> pavilion building and lounge that is part of the podium, an outdoor living room and <br /> kitchen area, and an outdoor pavilion that will be a really nice entertainment and <br /> recreation area for residents. <br /> EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, October 10, 2012 Page 3 of 11 <br />
