DRC ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION: The Committee deliberated on all items listed and included the applicant in their discussion. The Committee made the following recommendations: Conceptual Site Design The Committee recommended at the last meeting that the applicant reconfigure the site and suggested ideas for changing the site design. Overall the Committee was in agreement with the applicant's changes. The applicant is unsure yet if he will have an onsite manager for the project. The Committee recommended the applicant work with staff to make room for additional storage. Trash The Committee recommended that the owner work with staff to decide if the project should have a common dumpster or individual trash cans. It was noted that the project will likely not have a green waste container. Fencing The Committee recommended the applicant work with staff to choose fencing that is secure at the back of the property line, attractive (not chain link) but possibly dog-eared where it hits Adobe Plaza. Fencing for individual units should include a gate to allow for trash bin storage. Fencing should be high enough to screen trash bins. . Landscaping The Committee was in agreement with staff's recommendations. Parking The Committee was in agreement with staff's recommendations on parking. The Committee recommended that the applicant work with staff on signage that could include preserving guest parking. The applicant stated that he may be able to write this into the lease agreement so that the garage is available for parking and not storage. This project will not go to Planning Commission for approval, and can go straight to building permits.
