<br />The proposed building designs were peer-reviewed by Larry Cannon. His comments <br />are attached. Mr. Cannon supports the proposed building designs as now proposed <br />with minimal changes, which are referenced in the conditions of approval. The <br />Planning Commission required the applicant to include the following additional <br />comments specified in the Planning Commission staff report: <br /> <br />. Home Depot: <br />Extend the roof over Home Depot's main entrance backward in order to increase <br />its visual mass, matching the scale of the roof over the porte cochere. <br /> <br />. Sheet A4: <br />Delete the roof elements over the "bistro cafe" and the "bakery pastries" <br />storefronts. <br /> <br />. Sheet A9: <br />Eliminate the break in the hedge between the Longs Drugs drive-through facing <br />Stanley Boulevard. <br /> <br />The following staff recommendations were also required by the Commission: <br /> <br />· Only smooth-side hardiplank horizontal siding shall be used on the buildings. <br /> <br />· An alternate building wall fixture, consistent with the building design, shall be <br />used instead of the proposed "Gardo" wall fixture. <br /> <br />The DVD animation for the proposed development provides an excellent view of the <br />building massing and detailing which may not be completely conveyed with the two- <br />dimensional building elevations. <br /> <br />Staff believes that the project has been very well designed, and that with the above- <br />stated changes will be an attractive commercial center at this gateway location. <br /> <br />CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS <br />The City Council must make the conditional use permit findings in the attached Planning <br />Commission staff report prior to granting the conditional use permit for Home Depot. <br /> <br />PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN MODIFICATION FINDINGS <br />The Pleasanton Municipal Code sets forth the purposes of the Planned Unit <br />Development (PUD) District and the considerations to be addressed in reviewing a PUD <br />development plan proposal. These findings also apply to development plan <br />modifications. The City Council must make the findings in the attached Planning <br />Commission staff report that the proposed PUD development plan modification <br />conforms to the purposes of the PUD District before making its action. <br /> <br />Page 18 of 21 <br />
