Provide glass samples for review. Glass sample provided:VLT=62%;VLR=11%. This meets guidelines requirements. Glass has a slight green tint. 2. Revise fixtures D1,2,3,4,8 and 9 so that illumination at the ground does not exceed 20 fc. The 5 pole light fixtures at the south end of the EC frontage were new/replacements. Existing fixtures are now to remain in those locations. FC exceed 20 at existing fixture D6/7. 3. Provide documentation from ACSA that the proposed frontage landscaping is acceptable. Documentation not provided. Regarding the Comprehensive Sign Plan: 1. Consider revising the CSP to require alignment of primary signs on the Flow/Mazda building(not including the sign marking the service bay). The sign band is equal across the two buildings, but the Flow and Mazda letters are not aligned and there is no text in the CSP stating that the signs must be aligned. 2. Revise the size limitations criterion to note that sign sizes are also subject to EC sign guidelines requirements,which could result in signs smaller than ordinance maximums. added 3. Revise the CSP to note that the maximum number of colors used for individual signs and for signs in close proximity to each other is three. added 4. Delete the note reading, "actual tenant signs will reflect individual tenant identity through shape, font, etc."OR supplement the note with this text: "subject to EC guidelines regarding size, color, proportion,etc." Supplemental note added 5. Note that coordination of freestanding sign design, and tenant panels within those signs, will be required. No action needed at this time. 6. Include the height of each sign band in the CSP drawings. Height missing for service signs,but not needed for these due to incidental/directional character. 7. The maximum number of colors used for individual signs and for signs in close proximity to each other is three. Note added in graphics info. 8. Revise the CSP to limit illumination of letters to a single type and illumination of graphics to include face lit or reverse lit illumination. CSP revised to limit letters to face-lit. Graphics may be face-lit or reverse/halo lit. 9. Note that an opaque background will be required for the VW sign as currently illustrated if it is internally illuminated. CSP revised to note that all logo backgrounds will be opaque. CHANGES NOT ASKED FOR 1. East elevation of VW building—changes to window heights and distribution of brick/stucco. Change is acceptable—visibility of this elevation from the EC street is limited. 2. Electric vehicle chargers have been added at Porsche,VW and Audi.VW and Audi won't be visible/noticed. Porsche is located adjacent to EC,but there is some slope and landscaping to help minimize noticeability.A DC charge box is also proposed.Applicant's memo says this is"further tucked away"but location doesn't appear to be noted on the plan. • Indicate location of Porsche DC charge box. 3. Entrance into parcel 6 is to be closed. • Landscaping is still arranged as if there were an entrance.
