because I'm sure after 20 iterations pretty much every combination has being <br />considered. So, that's my overriding concern. I don't know how your proposed tenant <br />would react, but you might want to consider not doing the drive -thru and having a better <br />project as a result. I do agree with staff in that I do tend to prefer a building closer to the <br />street, but like David, I'm not hard and fast on that if it's an appropriate use. <br />Commissioner Balch: I want to pick up on that because in terms of the site layout, you <br />know, if I could comment, I would actually be supportive of that idea with the building, <br />and I'm sure staff could advocate against me right now, but I'd be generally supportive <br />of the idea of not having a building on the street at this location if it made the building <br />and entire site layout work a little bit better. And, I don't know if an L where you can <br />drive in front along the parallel to Owens is the answer. I'm not trying to design from the <br />dais, but the concept of building on the street and how that would work, I'd be open to <br />that idea. <br />Commissioner Brown: One comment is three drive - thru's in very popular businesses; In- <br />N -Out, Chick -Fil -A and I don't want to presuppose what this one is although I can <br />guess, in such close proximity competing with each other is fraught with problems, so <br />given that the other two are approved and we can't change that, but approving a third in <br />this small proximity is going to be pretty trafficked complex. <br />Chair Ritter: I concur with pretty much everybody here. I think taking, as Commissioner <br />O'Connor said, a two -lane queue and making A -2 smaller —I still think that could be an <br />option. I know Starbucks has done that. Also moving A -1 and A -2 and B all along the <br />Owens Drive side and making the parking behind it so that the drive -thru could be going <br />along Owens Drive may be an option but I'm not going to design from up here but I'd <br />say you've got to at least have 12 or 13 spots in there just because all of the traffic from <br />the current drive - thru's in that area. <br />B. Does the Planning Commission support the proposed building architecture, <br />exterior finishes, and color palette including staffs recommendation on the north <br />elevation on Building A? <br />Commissioner Brown: Yes. <br />Commissioner Balch: Yes, except for the name "Owens Court." And if it is that, it won't <br />get my vote. I'll just say it straight —I don't want it called Owens Court. The court is <br />misleading as to the location on the street. <br />Commissioner Nagler: Yes. <br />Commissioner Allen: Yes with two additional minor changes. One is on Building B. I <br />don't know if there's a photo we can put up of Building B but there was a large, dark wall <br />in the middle of Building B that looked a little bit wide in my opinion. Others can vet on <br />that. Yes. <br />Commissioner O'Connor: Oh the west elevation. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, September 28, 2016 Page 26 of 32 <br />
