PUD-136, Mall Residential Project Planning Commission 29 of 34 Architecture and Design The building has significant detailing and articulation, and the form/shape of the building is visually interesting. The materials and colors are attractive and will blend in well with the surrounding developments based on similar finish schemes found on other existing development in the vicinity. The height of the building (approximately 65 feet tall to the top of the parapet) would be less than or commensurate with other existing buildings in the vicinity. Table 5 lists the height and number of stories of the building and compares it with other similarly sized buildings in the vicinity. Overall, staff supports the architectural design, massing and detailing of the building.

Scenic Highway Plan for Interstate 680 In 1985 the City adopted the Scenic Highway Plan for Interstate 680 in the City of Pleasanton which contains policies for new residential and commercial development on parcels immediately adjacent to the I-680 corridor. The project was analyzed for conformance to the applicable policies and found to be consistent with the plan . For example, the building would be located at least approximately 100 ft. from the I-680 CalTrans right-of-way (approximately 1,200 ft. is proposed), the building would not conflict with views from the highway due to existing screening provided by the adjacent office buildings, residential uses and landscaping would remain, and new perimeter landscaping associated with the proposed project. Signage Wall-mounted signage has been shown conceptually on the east side of the building, but no sign details have been provided at this time. Staff finds the general location and size of the sign to be acceptable. Staff anticipates additional wall-mounted signage, ground-mounted project identification and directional monument signs would also be proposed . A condition has been included that requires the applicant to submit a comprehensive sign program for the project which will be subject to the review and approval by the Director of Community Development.
