INFORMAL REVIEW OF USE PERMIT APPLICATION ITEM 1) APPLICATION 5-U-88 -- WORTHINGTON CHEVROLET (ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GROUP): Requesting approval of modifications to an existing use permit to adjust the project phasing, modify structure locations, and to alter display area surface treatment. Site located on the north side of Stevens Creek Boulevard, approximately 200 feet east of Stelling Road. 20955 Stevens Creek Boulevard. ENCLOSURES 1. Exhibits A, A-1, B, B-1, B-2, B-3, C, and Info of Application 5-U-88 2. Exhibit A 1st Revision of Application 1-U-87 3. Applicant's letter dated March 14, 1988 COMMENTS: A. This application is a modification of the previously approved 1-U-87 use permit. The approved site plan for 1-U-87 has been enclosed for reference. B. The proposed modifications are described in the applicant's letter. All the landscaping improvements approved previously have been retained. C. Tile pavers were approved for the auto display areas. The applicant now seeks to utilize bomanite paving (stamped concrete) for the Stevens Creek Boulevard display and asphalt for the Stelling Road display. Staff believes that the bomanite should be utilized for the Stelling Road area, also. The bomanite, as opposed to asphalt,.will add desirable surface texture and interest ITEM 2) APPLICATION 7-U-88 -- TANDEM COMPUTERS (KEN KAY ASSOCIATES): Requesting approval of a Use Permit to construct a 40,000 sq. ff. industrial building containing a dual anechoic chamber, laboratories and a one story lobby linking to the existing building on site. The site is located at the northeast corner of Tantau Avenue and Highway 280. ASAC STAFF SUMMARY REPORT PAGE -2- APRIL 11, 1988 INENCLOSURE: 1. Applicant's Letter of 03/30/88 -- Project Description 2. Main Campus Plan - 7-U-88 3. Exhibit A of 3-U-88 (Comparative site plan -- Bldg 55) 4. Comparative Architectural Exhibit -- Building 200 5. Exhibits A, B, B-1, B-2, B-3, C and Info 1-4 of 7-U-88 A. Staff will discuss at the Use Permit level the proposed location of a loading area adjacent to the residences to the east. Noise and handling of potentially hazardous laboratory materials and wastes are of concern. B. The designer has attempted to mitigate the windowless elevations of the new building by adding rounded corners to the parapet and .introducing vertical baffles on the street -facing elevations. Compare exhibit B of 7-U- 88 with the treatment of Building 200 approved by ASAC last year. Note the strong presence of vertical wall dividers and the similar scale/rounding of parapets. C. Staff suggests that the application be expanded to enhance the existing appearance of Building 55. Treatment of the flat roof with similar parapet detailing might define the context of the new facility more clearly, given its proposed linkage with the new lobby element. 0 FORMAL REVIEW ITEM 3) APPLICATION ASAC 51.674.11 -- ALICE MEGRIM Requesting approval of modification to an existing ground sign to reduce overall display area. The sign is located at a commercial center on the northwest corner of N. De Anza Boulevard and Rodriguez Avenue. ASAC Decision Final Unless Appealed 1. Model Resolution 2. Applicant's Letter of 02/22/88 with attachments 3. Applicant's letter of 08/04/87 4. Applicant's Letter of 04/08/88 5. ASAC Resolution 1299 6. Exhibits F-2 and F-3 of ASAC 51,674.11 A. Condition 10 of Resolution. 1299 requires sign face area reduction to 75 sq. ft. upon the next change of tenant panel. Applicant's letter of August 4, 1987, submitted in conjunction with Condition 10, requests phased compliance with sign area reduction requirement. ASAC STAFF SUMMARY REPORT PAGE -3- APRIL 11, 1988 B. Letter of February 22, 1988 proposes immediate reduction of face area to 98 sq. ft. Their letter of April 08 clarifies the intent to attain the final adjustment to 75 sq. ft. at such time as one or the other of the existing tenant panels is changed. C. Though phasing is not strictly in compliance with Resolution 1299, staff finds the approach in the February 22 letter to be reasonable in relation to the applicant's circumstances and the public interest. A proposed condition would establish the next change of tenant panel as the threshold mechanism to achieve the final 75 sq. ft. area. A. Staff recommends approval of Application ASAC 51,774.11 according to the findings and conditions specified in the Model Resolution. B. The decision of ASAC is final unless appealed to City Council. ITEM 4) APPLICATION 9-U-83 (Amended) -- GREGORY GROUP (SEVEN SPRINGS RANCH) Requesting approval of roadway lighting fixtures as required under the Use Permit for a planned residential development located on the South side of Rainbow Drive between Stelling Road and Bubb Road. ASAC Decision Final Unless Appealed • 1. Model Resolution 2. Exhibits E, E-1 1st Revision and Staff Info of 9-U-83 (Amended) 3. Applicant's Letter of 04/07/88 A. Staff has not had time to review in detail the photometric data supplied for the revised solution. Basically, the applicant has increased the number of fixtures on the longer cul de sacs to eliminate extreme variance in surface level illumination. B. The remaining concern is the impact of subdivision lighting on views from hillside homes, including those within the project. Neither the applicant nor staff has found a reliable method to study this issue in advance of construction. However, The impact of additional fixtures throughout the cul de sac street system suggests intuitively that glare potential will be greater. To hold these impacts to a minimum, staff suggests that the luminarires be returned to the 70 watt, rather than 100 watt fixture, consistent with the City's public street lighting standard. Some loss of surface illumnination intensity can be traded off to minimize off site glare impacts, subject to a final photometric study prior to installation. ASAC STAFF SUMMARY REPORT APRIL 11, 1988 PAGE -4- Approval of lighting for the Seven Springs Dr. portion of 9-U-83 (Amended) only, as provided in the model resolution. If the ASAC wishes to approve the entire plan as submitted, all conditions after No. 9 should be eliminated from the approval motion. ITEM 5) APPLICATION ASAC 51,781.1 -- MARRIOTT CORPORATION: Requesting approval of a satellite dish for a previously approved Marriott Courtyard hotel located at the northwest corner of Wolfe Road and Highway 280. 10605 N. Wolfe Road. ASAC Decision Final Unless Appealed ENCLOSURES: 1. Exhibits A, G, G-1, G-2, G-3, and G-4 of Application ASAC 51,781.1 2. Letter from Michael Smith dated April 1, 1988 3. Photograph of proposed satellite dish 4. Model Resolution COMMENTS: A. Applicant proposes to install a satellite dish at the south end of the hotel as shown on Exhibit A. The dish will have a maximum height of approximately 10'-6". Applicant's letter contains a description of the project. B. The dish is located approximately 125 feet from the Highway 280 right-of- way and will be partially screened by the existing redwood grove. The applicant has informed staff that Photinia Fraseri will be planted around the dish to provide additional screening. Photinia grow to a height of six to seven feet. C. Staff believes the proposed location is acceptable given the distance from the freeway and the vegetative screening. RECOMMENDATION: A. Staff recommends approval of Application ASAC 51,781.1 per the findings and conditions contained within the enclosed model resolution. B. The decision of ASAC is final unless appealed within five working days to City Council.
