Ms. Decker presented the staff report and described the scope of this application. She displayed the site plan, grading plan, and landscaping plan on the overhead. screen. She noted that the applicant worked closely with the Fire Safety Department to ensure that the adequate radii within the site and drive-through were made available so that it could be easily traveled. StafF included a condition to either have an Opticon or K_rlox Box placed on the site for access. Staff recommended that the Planning Commission approve this project subject to the conditions of approval listed on Exhibit B and make the appropriate findings within the staff report. In response to an inquiry by Comtriissioner Roberts regarding whether the doors would be visible from off-site, Ms. Decker replied that she did not believe they would be visible; whatever color the doors will be, they will stand out for a person on the site. There will be no chance to mistake where the storage is. She added that other door colors could be considered and that a color palette was available. Ms. Nerland noted that staff proposed that the first sentence in Condition 26 be revised to state, "The subject building shall not be converted to another use without the prior approval of the City Traffic Engineer and Planning Director," deleting the phrase "including a permitted use." THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Doug French, applicant, 770 San Ramon Valley Boulevard, Danville, noted that he represented both the builder (G'ubix Constructions and the future owner All-Safe Self= Storage. He thanked staff for their thorough work and reviewed the background of this proj ect_ He described the accessibility of the building with respect to the grading plans and noted that because of the grading, there would be no stairs or elevators. Both levels would be accessible by cars. Mr_ French noted that the color of the blue doors became more purple through the color copying processing. _ He noted that teal was their second choice, and they would prefer to leave the Seattle Blue as part of the project. He noted that darker color had held up well in other projects, such as a 12-year-old project in Dublin, and that it was a commonly used corporate color. Mr_ French noted that with respect to Condition 27, which was recently added, he hoped that there were no plans to put a median on Sunol Boulevard. If that were to occur, he hoped to be able to discuss those plans. He noted that Condition 80 states that prior to issuance of the building permit, the developer must pay the City the development's prorated share of cost associated with the underground utility lines on Sunol Boulevard. 1-Ie requested that be deferred for a year after occupancy because the work would not be completed in the near-term. He added that 600 linear feet of undergrounding must occur continuously before the project may be done. Kevin Caose, 871 Sycamore Road, noted that he would not see this project, but would be affected by the traffic. He was concerned about the blind corner on Sonoma Drive.
