BACKGROUND Development Plan #993001 was approved on January 25, 2000 by the Board of Supervisors. Condition of Approval #6 required the detailed elevations and architectural design of the buildings; pedestrian and bicycle circulation system, consistent with the design approved by the Board; building roofing materials; and sign program to be submitted for final review and approval of the Board of Supervisors. The applicant reviewed the detailed plans with staff on July 25, 2000. Staff recommended modifications including adding more definition to the parapet element of the building, eliminating palm trees from the landscape plan, and changing the exterior color of the building to a darker color, more consistent with the renderings shown to the Board on January 25, 2000. The applicant also presented the detailed plans to the representatives of the Walden District Improvement Association, Fox Creek Residential Association, and the Madison Owners Association (the same group involved in the design review process required by Condition of Approval #4). The revised plans were presented to staff and representatives of the neighborhood on August 8, 2000. The modifications included limestone-like building exterior in richer colors, revised elevations for the top of the building, and a revised landscape plan. Staff and the neighborhood representatives were satisfied with the changes made. Staff is recommending the landscape plan be modified to reduce the number of trees at the rear property line adjacent to the proposed Amerisuites Hotel. This modification would open up the pedestrian connection to the entrance of the hotel and the proposed fountain on that site. No agreement of the canopy over the main entrance was reached. Two designs were presented, however staff recommends that this detail be considered at a later date, to allow time for the architect to work with staff and the neighborhood representatives on the detailed design. In addition, the sign program has not yet been developed. It is subject to Board approval when it is submitted. Staff proposes bringing the canopy detail and the sign program to the Board of Supervisors for final approval together, when these items are submitted. The applicant requested approval of the final plans, minus the sign program and the canopy detail, so that materials can be ordered for construction. No building permits will be issued until these detailed plans are approved by the Board of Supervisors. D.2 AUGUST 15, 2000 The Board approved this matter. A copy of the Project Information and the Renderings of SSR Realty are in the Clerk's file cabinets at the hack of the room.
