require the missing parking spaces to be held in a “landscape reserve” in case the need arises. If the applicant wishes to address parking needs through a CUP, they would need to apply for one and go through the public hearing process. Landscaping City code requires one tree per 3,000 sf of the site area. At 1.4 acres, the site would require 20 trees. The sketch appears to show 4 trees along the boulevard. At least 16 additional trees would be required on the site to meet city code. There appears to be room around the perimeter of the site. The code’s shrub requirement is one shrub for every 10 feet of building and parking area perimeter. The building’s perimeter is 432 ft, plus the parking area’s perimeter of 170 ft (excludes perimeter adjacent to building and perimeter of drive and loading areas). This brings the total perimeter to 602 lineal feet, for a planting requirement of 60 shrubs. The sketch currently shows 21 shrubs. An additional 39 shrubs would be required. There are plenty of spaces for these plantings. The requirement of 10% of any lot being green space appears to be met. The requirement of 3% of the surface area of land within a parking area appears to be met with the landscaped areas adjacent to the parking lot. Setbacks Setbacks and other minimums for lot and building size appear to be met by the proposed building and its location on the lot. Architecture The architecture depicted could, perhaps use some "contrasting architectural features" as described in code, and the wall materials are on this agenda for review. Staff is requesting the Commission review the concept sketch and provide feedback to the applicant so they can make final revisions and submit a formal Site Plan Review application and, if necessary, a Conditional Use Permit application.
