walls of windows. The exterior material of the sides of the spine has been revised from corrugated metal siding to synthetic stucco. Lighting fixtures and pole design are consistent with typical lighting guidelines for the CTC. Parking lot pole lights are on 20-foot poles, with 250-watt, metal halide fixtures. Some bollard style pedestrian lights are used in plaza areas. There are also a number of wall-mounted fixtures. Generally, wall-mounted fixtures have only been allowed in loading areas, at building entries or exits, or as low-wattage decorative fixtures. The applicant is proposing wall-mounted fixtures in several locations where Staff would recommend pole-mounted or pedestrian scale lighting, or no fixtures at all. Staff recommends elimination of all wall-mounted lighting on the east elevation. On the southwest, northwest and west elevations, staff recommends those fixtures be replaced with a combination of pole lights and bollards, subject to additional review of a photometric site plan, Staff review, and approval. Two ground-mounted signs are proposed. Each would be 3 feet by 5 feet and constructed of stucco and CMU to match the building. Text is proposed with pin-mounted letters to be lighted directly with ground-mounted spots. With the revision of the metal siding to synthetic stucco, the Planning Commission was in full support of the application. They approved the application at their April 13 meeting by a vote of 6 - 0, with 11 conditions. Davidson called for the applicant's presentation.
