PROJECT PROPOSAL AND DISCUSSION The applicant is proposing is to demolish the existing 67,619-square-foot CTC building and construct an approximately 87,000-square-foot two-story CTC building with associated site improvements on an 8.13-acre lot. The new building would be located towards the southern portion of the site, with parking occupying the majority of the northern part of the site that fronts Santa Rita Road. A proposed outdoor training and storage yard would be located in the east corner of the property, behind the CTC. As noted, the project previously proposed creating a pad for an additional 17,000-square- foot office building on the northern portion of the property, to be developed at a future date. After the December 13, 2017 public hearing, the applicant revised the project to eliminate the future office building from the plans. Staff and the Planning Commission concurred that the building architecture, floor plan, indoor and outdoor operations, outdoor noise mitigation, landscaping, parking, access, and circulation were appropriate and supportable. However, there was not agreement between staff and the Planning Commission on the consistency of the proposed site design/building placement and treatment of the Santa Rita Road frontage, with adjacent land uses and with applicable General Plan policies. These various project areas are discussed briefly below, with additional information included in the attached Planning Commission agenda reports (Attachments 4, 5, and 6). Architecture and Design As shown in Attachment 3 (Exhibit B) and Figure 2, the proposed building would have concrete tilt-up walls with graytone colors and a variety of accent materials and architectural features intended to provide visual relief. The entry focal feature along the west elevation of the building, visible from Santa Rita Road, would include horizontal metal panel accents with dark walnut patterned tiles around the front corner of the building. Two-story stone tile columns with steel canopies between would also be included. The north, south, and east elevations would have foam band trim surrounding painted wall panels and insulated glazing. The majority of the building is proposed to be two stories with a flat roof and parapet as well as a metal panel roof-top equipment screen. The rear portion of the building would include a single-story section with a sloping standing seam metal roof. As conditioned, all heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment will be located within the buildings' roof-equipment wells. Staff and the Planning Commission have concluded that proposed building architecture is attractive and appropriate and the colors and materials are acceptable. Page 5 of 13
