The first floor of the office building would feature storefront glass with interior and exterior aluminum columns. The upper floors would feature a glass curtain wall system with horizontal and vertical aluminum panels visible behind the glazing and aluminum mullions. At the top of each floor, an approximately 2-foot-tall portion of the glazing would have a fritted pattern (i.e., small silkscreened dots). Wood accent panels would be located on the western and eastern sides of the building where the building walls join at right angles. A sloping parapet with a simple aluminum band would finish the top of the walls. Roof equipment would be screened by rectangular-shaped, aluminum-paneled screen walls. A color/materials board will be available for the Commission to review at the public hearing. While staff found the previously-approved office building design to be visually appealing, staff believes the new office building to be equally appealing and staff supports the overall design of the new office building. The form/shape of the building is visually interesting and the materials and colors are attractive and will be compatible with surrounding developments. Staff believes its height would be compatible with the surrounding buildings. Table 2 lists the height and number of stories of the approved office building, proposed office building, and some of the taller buildings in the area.

Because the site has PUD zoning, parking requirements are determined on a case-by-case basis. The proposed parking ratio is approximately one space per 304 gross square feet. This is slightly less than the Municipal Code's office parking requirement in non-PUD zones of one space per 300 gross square feet. Given the extremely close proximity to the BART station and a bus stop and the various measures the applicant will implement through a Traffic Demand PUD-104-1M/PUD-81-22-15M, 6110/6120-6160 Stoneridge Mall Road Planning Commission Page 8 of 17
