She reviewed the Land Use Map describing the site within the Staples Ranch Specific Plan area, stating that the applicant proposes to develop approximately 20 of the auto mall site's 30 acres. The project site would consist of a vehicle staging area, customer and employee parking area, and the sales and display area. Three buildings, which would house sales a presentation, final quality control, and the carwash and service building are also proposed. Ms. Bonn reviewed the landscape plan, which proposes a variety of tree, shrubs and groundcover throughout various planter and bio retention areas. She discussed the fencing and walls plan, noting those that would be more visible to the general public. She presented several renderings of various project components from select elevations, noting features such as a standing seam room and gable elements, and referred the Council to the materials board for actual examples. She discussed the proposed signage, which include a freeway oriented pylon sign as well as a sign at the entry to the project site. She presented day and nighttime views of each, noting lettering and illumination styles. She also noted that in order to allow for future auto dealers to have freeway oriented identification, additional pylon cabinets with the same measurements as the applicants would be allowed. Ms. Bonn stated that based on the considerations and analysis provided in the staff report, staff supports and is recommending approval of the project subject to conditions. Councilmember Brown referred to the renderings depicting the car wash and asked staff to clarify the square footage. Ms. Bonn stated the carwash would be 3,930 square feet. Councilmember Brown asked how staff intends to ensure that customers do not test drive vehicles through adjacent neighborhoods. Ms. Bonn directed her attention to the condition of approval which prohibits test driving on residential streets. She also said the applicant has assured staff that is not part of their normal business practice. City Counbil Minutes Page 12 of 20 May 6,2014
