PUBLIC COMMENT The following member of the public spoke during public comment: Josh Hawley. Director Dunsmore addressed comments raised during public comment. Chairperson Funk closed the Public Comment period. The Committee made the following recommendations (in red): 1. Location of commercial marketplace relative to the intersection. Committee members were in support of the location, but an option to place the commercial section on the corner was also mentioned by one committee member. 2. Gateway landscaping/signage Some ideas from Committee members included being in favor of the sign, while some would like to see the larger gateway aspect in conjunction with the corner commercial area. Another idea was to see a nicely landscaped area on the corner. The Committee suggested that more ideas could be brought forward. There is also a concern about graffiti, and that when the designs come in, to take that into consideration. DRC Minutes of 9/14/2023 Page 4 of 6 3. Commercial Market Design Concept — Overall Design Them ThP C;nmmittPP supports agrarian and farmhouse (not shipping containers). 4. Height/massing Some ideas from the Committee included being in support of more massing, at the commercial area, but were ok with the current scale. The Committee agreed that there is a need for food (there is no grocery store in walking distance), and the commercial aspect must be neighborhood -serving. 5. Courtyard design features The Committee was in favor of the inner courtyard layout and outdoor covered area. The applicant could find a different layout and be more visible from the road (to highlight the commercial use). There was a concern that it may get too hot during summer. The Committee would like the applicant to take this..... into consideration when thinking about the shading and ventilation. The Committee also recommended adding outdoor BBQ areas, spaces to be kid sensitive -friendly, and areas for people to sit and have conversations. Applicant should also be attentive to sight lines at driveways and entries. 6. Pedestrian Connections The Committee recommended that the neighborhood paseo bridge have good site lines, look into adding speed control, and include a shortcut across Cashin. The Committee was in favor of the designed connections to EI Camino Real, because this is a plus being next to the bus stop 7. Neighborhood Compatibility -Height and Scale of residential buildings The Committee agreed that the residential buildings are well-oriented, and the 2 - story scale on Cashin is favorable. The Committee recommended that visibility to Bliss be analyzed to encourage taller and denser landscaping for privacy and management of sight lines. MOTION: By Committee Member Dariz and seconded by Committee Member Schmidt to endorse the design as recommended by staff, with the feedback received today, and move the project on to Planning Commission. Motion passed 5:0 by a roll call vote.
