general size of the building in the field, they do not represent all the architectural detailing proposed, including third-story step backs. Note that the poles on the southern elevation (Nevada Street side) did not include the "jog" in the southern end of the building which is set back 40 feet for approximately half the length of the façade. The story poles were visible from adjacent properties (including Irby Ranch to the west and the commercial properties to the east). Figure 4 provides a photograph of one vantage point from Irby Ranch looking east toward the subject property. Note, the trees planted on the Irby site are relatively immature and are expected to grow, which will provide some additional screening. The mature trees visible in Figure 4 are on the adjacent property toward the east of the Public Storage site.

From Stanley Boulevard directly in front of the property, the proposed office building will be prominent in the foreground with the three-story building in the background behind both the office and an existing one-story storage building, as seen on Sheets A4.3 of Exhibit B and Figure 5 below. Since the Planning Commission workshop, the applicant has removed the orange from the north elevation of the three-story building, helping further reduce its visual prominence from Stanley Blvd. P19-0128/P19-0129 Public Storage Planning Commission 10 of 15 varied articulation across the building faces. The three-story building is further articulated on the third story including a 5-foot upper-story step back along a portion of the north elevation, 10-foot step backs along portions of the east elevation, and 28 to 33-foot step backs along the south elevation. The applicant installed story poles for the three-story building during the workshop (they have since been removed as this site is actively being used) and provided building renderings in Exhibit B and C. Please note, the renderings do not show the full scope of the landscape plan in detail. Additionally, while the story poles were useful to visually display maximum height and P19-0128/P19-0129 Public Storage Planning Commission 9 of 15 This assumes the easement width along the south side of the property will be reduced,which results in a lot area of 250,464- square-feet. The project will have a FAR of greater than 100%if the easement width is not reduced.As such, Exhibit A includes two conditions of approval(#14 and 42)addressing the necessary easement width reductions.
