The applicants have indicated that Peet's Coffee and Tea (without a drive - through) would occupy an approximately 1,786- square- foot tenant space in the building. The tenant for the remaining 744 - square -foot space has not been determined at this time. The new building would be sited towards the street with parking located on the west side and rear of the building. The building would be set back a minimum of 8 feet from the front property line (with a minimum setback of 29 feet from the face of curb along Valley Avenue), a minimum of 40 feet from the western property line, and a minimum of 5 feet 5'/2 inches from the rear property line. A roofed trash enclosure would be located near the northwestern corner of the site. The building would generally match the design and materials of the existing Hopyard Village Shopping Center buildings: stucco walls with wood trim, covered walkways, and a mansard - style tile roof. Two tower elements would be added to provide interest and focal points for the building entries. Building colors would primarily match the Hopyard Village Shopping Center buildings: tan - colored body, brown - colored trim, forest green - colored gutters, light -green colored eaves and rafter tails, bronze- tinted windows, and a terra cotta - colored S -tile concrete roof. A color /materials board will be available at the hearing. The building would measure 22'/2 -feet high, as measured from the grade to the top of the upper parapet and 32 -feet high, as measured to the top of the tallest tower. The trash enclosure would measure 8'/2 -feet tall and would match the building colors and materials. Proposed vehicular access to the site would be provided by the existing driveway at the western end of the site, which is a shared driveway with the Hopyard Village Shopping Center. The easternmost driveway would be removed. A total of 11 off- street parking spaces are proposed for the site, comprised of eight standard -sized spaces (including one handicap accessible space) and three compact -sized spaces. Reciprocal parking agreements would be created to allow shared parking between the proposed commercial building and the Hopyard Village Shopping Center. There are 14 existing trees on or near the property, three of which are defined as "IIeritage Trees" by the Municipal Code. The applicants are proposing to retain all of the existing trees on the site. The existing shrubs and groundcover would be removed and replaced with new ornamental landscaping. Page - 3
