~ f. PUD-81-30-69D. Simature Pronerties and Hacienda Marketinl! & Sales Cornoration Application for design review approval for a two-story, 48,000 square foot office building located at 4670 Willow Road (Suite 30B, Hacienda). Zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - I/C-O (Industrial/Commercial-Office) MOIPD (Mixed Office, Research and Development/Light Manufacturing Planning) District. Mr. Iserson presented the staff report for the design review approval for a two-story, 48,000 sq. ft. office building located at 4670 Willow Road. This will be an office building for Signature Properties and other leased tenant space. This is located directly across the street from the Boehringer Mannheirn building presently under construction. The building is designed in a U-shaped configuration facing toward Willow Street. There would be an interior courtyard; the building would be surrounded by parking and landscaping. The architecture is quite attractive, with low gabled roofs with eaves supported by brackets. There is a main entry tower; earth tone colors are used on the building and there are use of horizontal reveals and bronze tinted windows. At the rear of the building, there are two roll-up doors to be used for delivery of materials for Signature Properties. About 32 % of the site will be landscaped; this is in compliance with the Hacienda Design Guidelines. There is freestanding monument sign proposed as well as two tenant and one address sign on the building. Staff has determined that this project meets or exceeds all of the Hacienda Development standards, the site is well designed, and it will function properly for the intended use. One issue is the separation of the driveway to the south with the Pacific Telesis driveway. There is requirement to have driveways on adjacent properties separated by 42 feet. However, the Pacific Telesis driveway was constructed only five feet from the property line. The applicant is proposing to locate the driveway 26 feet from the common property line. Staff has determined that to be acceptable and will not create traffic conflicts due to the limited amount of traffic entering and leaving the Pacific Telesis site and there is a limited amount of traffic on Willow Road. The monument sign will be located between the two driveways. Details of the signage will be approved by staff at a later date. The developer is being encouraged to work with the Public Arts Commission. The developer is not, at this time, willing to have public art on the project, though they note they have a courtyard and a fountain. Staff noted the addition of Condition 72 in staff memo dated February 12, 1997. Staff recommends approval of this Case PUD-81-30-69D.
