Ms. Clark said enhancements are for the rear of the building for wainscoting to be provided on all sides and the back of building, that additional trellises be provided similar to those on the back side to enhance the plain elevation. The rear elevation or western side of the 7-Eleven is just paint. Commissioners suggested the veneer be put on all sides, except the west side, and discussed the circulation and what could be seen of the 7-Eleven and the carwash. Ms. Clark said generally staff would recommend having three-sided architecture to be consistent throughout. Commissioner Balch said he was supportive of the stone veneer going all the way around and thinks the west side could be lighter in requirement than a standard four-sided architecture for the main building. For the carwash, he did not believe any enhancements to the west side are required. Chair Allen agreed. Commissioner O'Connor said he would like the east side of the carwash to have stone veneer. Commissioner Brown said he did not want every 7-Eleven to look the same in the City. Chair Allen summarized that the Commission was agreeable with this but was also open to staff pushing added elements that could further enhance the look. Commissioner Brown noted the Commission pretty much conducted a full review and he suggested the applicant as being able to fast track the project. He thanked the applicant for their presentation and believes the property will be much better than it currently exists; it will also significantly improve the situation for the church. Brad Hirst asked if he could clarify some of the points. He referred to improving the Hopyard Road or west side of the carwash and said he had originally made a suggestion to do a colorful mural on Pleasanton's history, but staff did not like this, and they dropped it. They can go back to that attraction or they can do some trellis work or Spandrel that looks like glass. He said in the scheme of things, it is not a large expense, but they can add a lot of color or make it look like the exteriors of the 7-Eleven building. Chair Allen said she did not want a mural. She did not like the carwash sign of red and white because it stood out. She asked to see quality, stone veneer, possibly glass, but something aside from a mural or making it look cheap. Commissioner Balch said he would not support the glass and said stone veneer would be acceptable along with a trellis with attractive landscaping that is established starting with a five-gallon pot versus a one-gallon pot. Mr. Hirst asked about the EV charging station.

Chair Allen also noted that staff has made recommendations of enhancements they would like to see, and she confirmed the Commission was in support of those. She asked staff to recap the elements for recommendation. Planning Commission Minutes Page 12 of 15 April 10, 2019 ing space in the corner.

He said people who worship in the church do park and walk through the area and they will continue to do this unless they cannot any longer.
