. . . , , Page 4 August 27, 2002 Planning Case #02-20 While the overall site plan has not changed a great deal, the original design of the building has changed significantly with the expansion of the partial second story to a full two story. In particular, the Commission will note the following: o Since the second story is no longer setback, the entrance canopy has been reduced in height, size, and design, o A deck area has been added at each comer. o The building materials are proposed to remain the same, Stone or brick would be utilized or the base and columns while stucco would be the primary material. For reference, the Neighborhood Business District requires the following with regard to building design: o Accomplishing the stated purpose of the NB District requires particular concern for the design of buildings, site features (such as landscaping, lighting, and signage) and site design, The arrangement, geometry, massing, materials and colors shall be responsive to existing buildings, site features and site design on adjoining sites in the district. o Sloped Roofs shall be utilized on all principal and accessory structures, Roofing materials and design shall be consistent with those found in the adjacent residential neighborhoods, o Exterior Materials shall include only face brick, stone, glass, or natural wood products. All walls shall be treated with the same exterior materials. As discussed during the original approval, stucco is not one of the allowable building materials within the Neighborhood Business District. At the time, it was pointed out that brick or stone could not be used as the primary building material because it would be difficult to support it structurally on the partial second story, Since the building is now being proposed as a full two story, the Commission may want to evaluate whether brick or stone would be more appropriate as the primary building material.
