The lease area is an out -lot (surface parking) at the north end of Fashion Square Mall, which lies to the east. Brown's Collision Center and the Speedway fuel station are across Rt. 29, to the west. The surrounding area is a mix of commercial development. There will be clear visibility from the EC.

A pre -application conference was held for this proposal on July 16, 2018, and staff comments regarding Entrance Corridor impacts of the proposal were discussed at the meeting and forwarded to the applicant. The ARB reviewed an Initial Site Development Plan (ARB-2018- 123) for Longhorn Steakhouse on October 15, 2018. The ARB required no changes or conditions prior to approval of the initial site plan but provided 28 comments for the final site plan submittal. Following comments provided by the Site Review Committee in October 2018, the applicant significantly revised the proposed site layout and resubmitted a revised initial site plan to the ARB. However, the application (ARB-2018-153) submitted in November 2018 was incomplete and staff s cursory review of the revised site plan raised concerns of the appearance of the building as well as the proposed pedestrian connection from Route 29. The applicant chose to defer the application in December 2018. On March 18, 2019, the ARB held a work session with the applicant, at which time the board discussed the revised pedestrian connection and stated it was an improvement; required a consistent spacing of trees on the Route 29 frontage; and advised the applicant to continue to revise the building design. A revised Initial Site Plan (ARB-2018-153) was reviewed by the ARB on June 17, 2019. The action letter from that meeting is included as Attachment A to this report and the recommendations are included in the Analysis section of this report.

CHANGES SINCE THE LAST REVIEW Architectural changes include a reduction in the overall size of the shuttered "window" elements on the south (right) elevation (as illustrated in the line drawing elevations), and the addition of "Country Redwood" paint to the materials schedule for the Hardi siding. Changes to the site layout include: a sidewalk added along the south side of the site, the addition of retaining walls near the new pedestrian connections on the north and south sides of the site, shifting and some changes in size of landscape islands; changes to the service area at the back of the building; the addition of trees along the mall entrance drive; the addition of ornamental grasses and juniper ground cover along a portion of the southwest perimeter of the parking lot; and revisions to the photometric plan. 41 M f 41-I15� � v } rYl�l Y Figure 2: map showing TMP 61-132, the leased area (2.07 acres) is highlighted in yellow, at the westernmost extent of the parcel.

The standard of compatibility can be met through scale, materials, and forms which may be embodied in architecture which is contemporary as well as traditional.

Scale should be integral to the building and site design. 12 Architecture proposed within the Entrance Corridor should use forms, shapes, scale, and materials to create a cohesive whole. 13 Any appearance of "blankness" resulting from building design should be relieved using design detail or vegetation, or both. 14 Arcades, colonnades, or other architectural connecting devices should be used to unify groups of buildings within a development. 15 Trademark buildings and related features should be modified to meet the requirements of the Guidelines. 16 Window glass in the Entrance Corridors should not be highly tinted or highly reflective.
