Amador Plaza Road. Although the Planmng CommissIon had authorIty to reVIew the
draft Ordinance approvmg the Planned Development Rezone and make
recommendahons to the City Council, as well as adopt a Resolution approving the SIte
Development Review, the Applicant was madvertently unable to attend the Planning
CommisSIOn's Pubhc Hearmg. The Planmng Commission raIsed a number of concerns;
however, felt it was problematic to discuss these Issues without the Apphcant bemg
present. The Applicant's representatIve requested that the Planmng Commission forward
the project to the Council rather than contmue the project to a future Plannmg
CommISSIOn meehng. The CommIssion agreed that it would state its concerns with the
project for the record and refer hearmg jurisdichon to the City Council.
Mayor Lockhart stated that It was unusual for the Apphcant to bypass the Planmng
CommISSlOn process, and mdIcated that it was very Important that the Planmng
CommiSSlOn hear Issues and dISCUSS them before they were presented to the Council. The
Planning CommiSSlOn's comments should be heard m tonight's dIScussIon because they
worked very hard and dId theIr homework, and had vahd comments.
The Council concurred.
Planmng Commission Chmr Bill Schaub expressed concern about the proposed store
front, as well as the proposed green screen tower element. The green screen was too tall,
and plants do not grow well on them. The split cmderblock was not appropriate for the
area, and there were several alternahves. The plans for the proposed plaza were unclear
and needed more explanatIon.
Planmng Commission ChaIr Schaub expressed concern regardmg architecture and
conSIstency WIth the Downtown Core Specific Plan DeSIgn Guidelmes, and showed shdes
WIth examples of buildIng architecture and plaza elements which he felt were more
approprIate for this locatIon.
Planning CommIssIoner Morgan King adVIsed that many of the proposed elements were
not m accordance with the Downtown Specific Plan and expressed his concern WIth the
proposed size and placement of the Village Green plaza, the parkmg situation, the lack of
pedestrIan opportunity, the dIrection of the eXIsting store fronts, and the medIOCrIty of
the proposed buildmg design and archItecture. The mflexibility of the property owner's
CC&R's was a concern, as well. In his opmIon, the Village Green plaza plan needed to be
more clearly defined, and a deSIgn standard implemented. A lot of work went mto the
Downtown Specific Plan, and It should be conSIdered when thIS project was
contemplated.

Planmng CommISSIoner Robert Fasulkey agreed that the Planning CommissIOn put a lot
of effort into the crafting of the SpecIfic Plan, and the Apphcant might not fully
understand what the Specific plan was requesting and the vision of the area. He urged
the Council to vote against this project tonight unless there was a lot of flexibility to come
before them.
Planmng Commission Doreen wehrenberg expressed the same concerns. Overall, It was
a mce project, but extra deSIgn help was needed.
Mayor Lockhart thanked the Planning CommISSlOn for expressing its concerns before the
Council. It was unfortunate that the CommISSlOn was not allowed to do its job. She
asked the Applicant to address several Items of concern to the Planning CommissIon,
mcluding: flat roof vs. gables, green tower, stacked rock vs. cinder block, the plaza area,
and outdoor dimng space.
Mayor Lockhart asked Staff If, with other development happenmg m the area, there were
other opportumtIes for the green space or a plaza area. Could this development meet ItS
responsibility and still look for other plaza space m that vIcImty? She was not convmced
that the Target parking lot would be the appropnate place for a plaza.
Community Development DIrector Jerl Ram adVIsed that there were changes occurrIng
along Amador Plaza Road, and It was possible, as part of the new Downtown Plan bemg
worked on, that addIhonal area for plazas or a Dublm green could be identified.
Alicia Diaz, Vice President of Mayfield Gentry Realty AdVIsors, extended a formal apology
to the PlannIng Commission and explained that the princIpal of the company did have all
intention to attend the Planning Commission meetmg; however, he was delayed due to
traffic. Every effort had been made to meet the CIty'S expectahons of the project.
Unfortunately, there was very httle flexibihty m the CC&R's, whIch were negotiated
between several property owners. There have been problems WIth green screens and
waterIng of vegetahon including trees m the overall property area, whIch would be
addressed by enlarged budgets and capItal improvements m the landscapIng plans. From
the beginning, the Applicant had. taken a very collaborative approach with Staff
regarding the design of the building. The Applicant was willing to work WIth Staff
regarding the Issue of spht cmderblock vs. stacked rock, and looking at addItional
archItectural interest WIth respect to the fascia of the building. There would be concern
about the degree of further footprmt artlCulahon that may be requested and its impact on
the mterior footprmts. The plaza area was mtended to be a combinahon of restaurant
space and pubhc access.

Mr. Leom, Project ArchItect, advised that the proposed flat roof was a response to the
surroundmg facilities and to provIde umty to the rest of the shopping center.
Landscapmg was a very Important element, and the green screen provided a sIgnature
element to the facihty. The cmderblock was mcluded to provide artIculation to the
buildmg form, but could be easily changed to another matenal. There was an effort
design the building to face every direchon.
The Council, Staff and the Apphcant entered mto a diSCUSSIOn regardmg the challenges
such as landscaping, the dIrection of the store fronts, softemng the store fronts, possibly
adding a water element, and defining the plaza area.
Ms. Diaz advised that fiscally they could not start from scratch on the project, but they
would be wilhng to work wIth Staff to address the Council's concerns.
Mayor Lockhart closed the pubhc hearing.
Mr. Baker indicated that the Council could contmue the item to the next Council meeting
m order to address the Council's concerns, or include conditions m the Site Development
Review to address their concerns.
The Council discussed the dIfferent alternatlves and agreed to contmue this item the next
Council meehng and dIrected Staff to address the followIng Issues m the Staff Report:
1) the store fronts should have a softer appearance; 2) use stacked rock instead of
cmderblock; 3) mclude an art fountam or water element in heu of the green screen
tower; 4) consider any alternatives to make plan less boxy without interfering WIth net
square footage; 5) and proVIde different heIghts in roof elements WIthout the tower
element on the building.
Mr Baker asked if the Council would like the fountain element, which would typically be
included m part of the deSIgn review and an element of the project, to be included m the
design of the plaza that was brought back before the Council at the June 6th meeting.
CIty Manager Ambrose advised that, If the art was gOIng to be part of the water feature,
the amount would need to be negotlated. In order not to hold up the project, the water
element desIgn could be pulled out of the Planned Development and included It m the
SIte Development Review. The Planned Development could be heard on June 6t1l, and the
SIte Development ReVIew could be heard at the June 13lh Adjourned Regular Meeting,
along WIth the second readmg of the PD Ordmance.
