a) Abrupt changes in building scale should be avoided. A gradual transition related
r
to height and bulk should be achieved b tween new and existing buildings.
There are no changes in building scale exc t for a minor reduction in bulk where the
mansard roof is proposed to be removed on t e one-story building.
I'
b) In order to preserve design harmony beer een new and existing buildings and in
order to preserve and enhance property alues, the materials, textures and colors
of new building should harmonize with "djacent development by being consistent
or compatible with design and color s,I�hemes with the future character of the
neighborhoods and purposes of the zon'' in which they are situated. The location,
height and materials of walls, fencin , hedges and screen planting should
harmonize with adjacent developm3 nt. Unsightly storage areas, utility
installations and unsightly elements of! parking lots should be concealed. The
planting of ground cover or various type Of pavements should be used to prevent
dust and erosion, and the unnecessary d I,'struction of existing healthy trees should
be avoided. Lighting for developme i�t should be adequate to meet safety
requirements as specified by the engineering and building departments and
II
provide shielding to prevent spill-over li, ht to adjoining property owners.

The planning area was designed to preserve light industrial uses and the proposed materials
contribute to the industrial aesthetic. The façade changes include stucco wall textures,fiber-
cement accent paneling, and metal trellis architectural features painted in shades of gray
and black. The project will include new trees to line the newly proposed sidewalk and shade
the parking lot areas. All utilities are located at the rear of the property, and landscape
hedging is proposed along the eastern property line. Therefore, unsightly elements are not
proposed for the site and will not be visible from the public right-of-way.
c) The number, location, color, size, height, lighting and landscaping of outdoor
advertising signs and structures have been designed to minimize traffic hazard,
positively affect the general appearance of the neighborhood and harmonize with
adjacent development.
No signs are proposed aspart ofthis project.
p p
d) With respect to new projects within existing residential neighborhoods, new
development should be designed to protect residents from noise, traffic, light and
visually intrusive effects by use of buffering, setbacks, landscaping, walls and
other appropriate design measures.
