parking located on the sides and rear of the building. A roofed trash enclosure would be located near the northeastern corner of the site. The building elevations would feature cultured stone first floor walls, fine sand float stucco finish on the second floor walls, divided light windows set in aluminum frames, and cultured stone window sills. The roofline would feature a low, mansard-style roof. A hipped roof entry feature would be located at the main building entrance at the center of the east elevation. Hipped roof elements would be located at the center of the western elevation. Hipped roof towers would be featured at the north and south ends of the building. Building colors include: light and dark tan-colored body with off-white and brown accents; and tan, grey, and brown-colored stone. As shown on the colored elevations, the applicant had originally proposed dark green-colored roof tiles with a shake texture. Prior to the Planning Commission hearing, the applicant requested to use a blend of brownish-colored roof tiles with a smooth texture (please see the color photograph, Attachment #3), which the Commission approved. The building would measure 28 feet 9 inches high at the top of the second floor mansard roof, 31 feet 7 inches high at the top of the hipped roof elements at the center of the west and east elevations, and approximately 34 feet high at the top of the tower elements at the north and south elevations. The three existing driveways off Sunol Boulevard would be removed and two new driveways on Sunol Boulevard would be installed to provide access to the proposed development. At the present time, the long, narrow, 10-foot wide corridor of land connecting to Sycamore Road would remain undeveloped and there would be no access to this development from Sycamore Road. Future access to Sycamore Road might occur for the subject development when the adjacent 336 Sycamore Road property is developed with an office building as allowed by the NSSP. A total of 101 off- street parking spaces are proposed for the site, comprised of 66 standard-sized spaces (including four handicap accessible spaces) and 35 compact-sized spaces. Bicycle racks would be provided near the northwest and southwest corners of the building. Please refer to the attached Planning Commission staff report, dated June 27, 2007, and the proposed plans for additional project information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 27, 2007 to review the subject application. Detailed information on this meeting is provided by the attached excerpts of the Planning Commission minutes. Mr. Kevin Close, 871 Sycamore Road, spoke at the hearing, indicating that vehicles leaving this site would need to make U-turns on Sunol Boulevard if they wanted to travel southbound, which he felt would create traffic safety issues. After hearing all public testimony, the Commission approved the application on a 5-0 vote. The Commission approved the applicant's request to use to use a blend of brownish-colored roof tiles with a smooth texture instead of the dark green-colored roof tiles with a shake texture that are shown on the colored building elevations.
