A total of 56 parking spaces are being provided. Based upon the Commercial Development Design Standards & Guidelines standard, the retail building is required to provide 4.5 spaces per 1,000 SF and the bank is required to provide 4 spaces per 1,000 SF for a combined total of 53 spaces. A photometric plan has been submitted and revised to reduce the illumination levels, which are now in compliance with the Commercial Development Design Guidelines and Standards. The photometric proposes the use of 13 pole-mounted fixtures. The lights are proposed at an overall height of 20' with 250-watt metal halide lamps. The Commercial Development Design Standards & Guidelines provide a maximum pole height of 24' with metal halide lamps not to exceed 400 watts. A total of 9 low-level bollard light fixtures are proposed for the pedestrian plaza. A total of four, 100 watt, wall mounted fixtures are proposed on the east elevation of the mixed-use building. The revised PUD does account for lighting levels underneath the canopy structure. The canopy will utilize four, 42 watt recessed can lights which maintain light levels in compliance with the Commercial Development Design Standards & Guidelines. The revised PUD has incorporated the following sign criteria: 1. All signs are to be located on the stucco sign band. 2. All signs will be subject to a uniform, two color standard, either a garnet or a white. Letter heights will be restricted to 18", if the sign has two rows of lettering the maximum height would be 12". 3. Comer tenants are allowed not more than two signs, one per building frontage. Non- comer tenants are allowed one sign. 4. No signage shall be allowed on the east elevation of the mixed-use building. 5. The bank building shall be limited to a total of three signs. The affect of the stated sign criteria will restrict both the number and area of allowed signs to a maximum that is well below the Commercial Development Design Standards & Guidelines requirements. Given that half of the building frontage is not eligible for any signage, and that maximum number of signs allowed is more restrictive than the Commercial Development Design Standards & Guidelines, the project sign total will be well below what the Commercial Development Design Standards & Guidelines would otherwise allow. No monument signs are being requested. The Planning Commission held both a preliminary and a final public hearing on the proposal. The Commission voted 7:0 to approve Resolution No. 2, Series 1999, for the preliminary on January 12, 1999. The final PUD was acted upon by the Commission on March 9, 1999 when the Commission approved Resolution No. 18, Series 1999 by a vote of 4:0 to forward a recommendation of support, with conditions, to the Council. The revised PUD reflects compliance with all conditions of Commission approval; therefore the PUD comes forward without any conditions of approval. Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. 15
