the Council makes in regards to the color. Once the color is determined, the applicants will request occupancy and staff will have to determine whether the Nelsons meet the conditions for occupancy. Ms. Michelotti understood that occupancy was being held up until the issue of the color was resolved. Ms. Acosta said that is correct. Another issue that also was impacting occupancy was the application of the stone to the building elevations. Ms. Michelotti understood the application of the stone was going to be done sometime in the future. Mr. Nelson said the conditions of approval dated July 1996 state that one year after occupancy the exterior of the house must be completed. He explained that stone is not within his budget and that he might have to apply the rock himself. Therefore he wanted to move into the basement and have up to one year to complete the stone work. Everything else is complete on the exterior of the house except the pouring of the front porch that goes to the upper front door. He said the stonework was not included as a condition for occupancy. Mayor Tarver asked what the process is for approval of color? What does it mean if the plans say equivalent to a certain color. Mr. Swift said every manufacturer uses different names for colors. The City uses a general color board from a particular manufacturer and "Santa Fe" is the color that is identified on the board. A different manufacturer may show "Santa Fe" differently. If the applicant wanted to use a different manufacturer, the applicant needs to submit a paint chip that is equivalent to "Sante Fe" on the City 's color board and then staff would need to determine if it is okay. Mr. Nelson said he submitted a single sandstone color. The City planner suggested a darker color. He had a special color sample made and submitted it to the City one week before the stucco was scheduled to be applied. But the company he hired to apply the stucco started early. He was told by the Planning Department that the color could not be approved as submitted. The Planning Department suggestion applying a triple mix sandstone color. The stucco company said if a triple mix was applied it would create a much brighter color. He felt the current color was similar to the adobe color. Ms. Ayala asked how many different colors were submitted for approval. Mr. Nelson said a color board for Sante Fe was considered during the issuance of the building permit. He said he was not happy with this color. When as-built drawings were Pleasanton City Council 8 01/05/99 Minutes
