Staff believed that the applicant had responded in the direction of the Planning Commission from the work sessions and had improved the design significantly as a result. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the application subject to the conditions of the staff report. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Noushin Murphy, project architect, noted that the inclusion of a roof on the trash enclosure was new to her team. Mr. Iserson advised that the roof was a standard condition of the Urban Clean Water Run-off Ordinance. Ms. Murphy advised that it would limit the functionality of the trash enclosure. Mr. Iserson advised that staff would be able to work with the applicant on that item. Commissioner Maas noted that staff preferred sign option no. 3, and the applicant preferred option no 1. She suggested that staff and the applicant come to an agreement. Commissioner Sullivan thanked the applicant for working with the Commission and believed the project would be very attractive. He preferred sign option no 3 but did not wish to have excessive light pollution emanating from the sign. Mr. Iserson advised that the sign plan specified two fixtures per sign, which would not generate a lot of illumination. He noted that a condition could be added that the applicant ensure that the sign lighting not be too bright. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Commissioner Maas moved to approve PDR-394 as conditioned in the staff report, using Option No. 3 with hanging signs and with the modification of Condition No. 3 that the external lighting not be excessively bright and not produce glare. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion. ROLL CALL VOTE AYES: Commissioners Fox, Kameny, Maas, Roberts, and Sullivan. NOES: None. ABSTAIN: None. ABSENT: Commissioner Arkin. Resolution No. PC-2004-43 was entered and adopted as motioned. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES July 14, 2004 Page 7 of 24
