other above ground utility apparatus have not been provided at this time. <br />d. Exterior lighting standards and fixtures shall be of a design and size consistent with <br />safety, building architecture and adjacent area. Lighting shall be shielded, and <br />restrained in design with no off -site glare spill over. Excessive brightness and brilliant <br />colors shall not be used unless clearly demonstrated to be integral to building <br />architecture. <br />Attachment C includes the lighting plans showing the lighting levels and the location and <br />different types of light fixtures. The light fixture around the square feature along the east <br />facade is capable of changing colors. Applicant has clarified that it is not intended as chasing <br />lights or to give the appearance of changing lights, but the colors could be changed based on <br />seasons or special occasions. <br />The project was also reviewed by the City's police department for Crime Prevention through <br />Environmental Design (CPTED) issues. They recommended one or two additional light <br />fixtures in the northwest corner of the parking lot to avoid areas of extremely low lighting <br />levels. Also, they have recommended a minimum lighting of 1 foot candle inside the garage. <br />TMC 18.60.050.E Parking Structure Design Guidelines. <br />The criteria for reviewing any parking structure is included as Attachment E. <br />The parking structure is designed as a concrete structure. At the city's request the applicant has <br />added a trellis on the uppermost deck. However no details of the planters are provided at this time. <br />Also, a metal screen system at the perimeter is added to provide visual interest to the exterior of <br />the garage and to screen the cars from view. Planters are also proposed to screen views from the <br />third floor apartment units to the parking garage. An open staircase is provided along the <br />northwest corner of the garage. The location of the open staircase in the farthest corner from the <br />building entrance makes it harder for the users to exit the garage and get to the hotel or apartment <br />entrance. The vertical concrete columns could be faced with the base brick material to make the <br />parking structure architecturally consistent with the main building. Since there is no room to add <br />any foundation landscaping without losing parking adding some architectural interest to the north <br />facade should be considered in order to improve the pedestrian experience. <br />Page 15 of 19 <br />19 <br />
