<br />AITACHMENT 4 <br /> <br />PDR-507, City of Pleasanton <br />Application for design review approval for the Firehouse Arts Center to renovate the <br />existing historical 1929 Firehouse Station No. 1 located at 4444 Railroad Avenue. Zoning <br />for the property is C-C (Central Commercial) District. <br /> <br />Ms. Decker summarized the staff report and reviewed the history and scope of this project. <br /> <br />In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Arkin, Ms. Decker confirmed this would be the last <br />time this item would be seen by the Planning Commission. The City Council requested that the <br />Planning Commission review and consider the project and forward the Commission's comments <br />to the Council. This item is anticipated to go to the Council in March. <br /> <br />Chairperson Arkin noted that he was generally excited about the project and expressed concern <br />about the quality of documentation before the Commission. He noted that the Commission <br />normally saw material boards and more detailed visuals. <br /> <br />Ms. Decker noted that the project was similar to the Delucchi restroom project, which had also <br />been reviewed by the City Council prior to being heard before the Planning Commission. She <br />noted that the project has been ongoing since 2003, and the process developed included comiI1g <br />before the City Council for discussions related to the budget. Council has indicated support of <br />this project and directed staffto bring it before the Planning Commission for review and <br />comment. <br /> <br />Commissioner Blank suggested that the Commission's comments include the fact that it felt the <br />presentation materials were insufficient to make a real analysis. Council could then request <br />visual analyses, site plans, and other visuals. <br /> <br />Commissioner Fox suggested that the Commission suggest that the plan be peer reviewed by <br />Larry Cannon. <br /> <br />Mr. Roush noted that those comments could be added and that this was a work in progress. <br /> <br />Ms. Decker introduced the primary coordinator ofthe project, Mr. Andy Jorgensen, the City's <br />Civic Arts Manager, and Mr. Ed Nolan of the consultant group ELS Architecture and Urban <br />Design of Berkeley, who proceeded to describe an overview of the proposed project's scope, <br />program elements, and architecture. <br /> <br />Mr. Noland summarized the background of this project and displayed the project details and <br />layout. He noted that the Fire Department's representative on the Task Force expressed a strong <br />interest in finding a way to display historic firehouse artifacts throughout the project; he noted <br />that two display cases would be used for that purpose. He added that nooks and crannies <br />throughout the project would also be used for those displays. He displayed the elevations from <br />each point of view. He noted that a canopy would be located at the front entrance so people <br />could stay out of inclement weather while waiting to buy tickets. He noted that all of the <br />classroom windows would have a northern exposure. <br /> <br />EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES, February 8, 2006 <br /> <br />Page 10f8 <br />
