Project Consistency Narrative <br />4501 BUILDING <br />Page Eight <br />At the west and south side of the building shoe box fixtures are provided, <br />mounted on arms attached to the building to provide security lighting. The <br />fixture on the west arm is 250 watt and the one on the south is 75 watt to <br />minimize the effect on the adjacent property. <br />Overall the lighting design will enhance the site and blend effectively with <br />surrounding uses. <br />4. Building Design <br />a. Architectural style is not restricted; evaluation of a project should be <br />based on quality of design and relationship to surroundings. <br />Response: <br />The purposed building design exceeds the design quality of the buildings in <br />front of it and next to it and is of equal or better quality of other buildings in <br />the area. See photo exhibit. <br />b. Buildings should be to appropriate scale and be in harmony with <br />permanent neighboring developments. <br />Response: <br />The proposed building is of comparable scale with buildings in the <br />neighborhood and has been painted with colors that will make it <br />harmonious with the adjacent buildings. <br />c. Building components, such as windows, doors, eaves, and parapets, <br />should have good proportions and relationship to one another. <br />Building components and ancillary parts shall be consistent with <br />anticipated life of the structure. <br />Response: <br />The exterior building materials have been selected for endurance and easy <br />maintenance. The wall areas are painted concrete, windows are set in an <br />aluminum sash, parapets are capped with colored metal flashings, and <br />exterior doors are painted metal. Doors and window sizes have been <br />selected based on the use of the building and are proportionate to the <br />scale of the building. A parapet has been provided to create the vertical <br />height needed for a balanced design. <br />d. Colors should be harmonious, with bright or brilliant colors used only <br />for accent. <br />Response: <br />The colors as selected are natural tones that are from one family of colors. <br />These colors blend together to create a soft appearance while the accent <br />color provides enough contrast so that signage can be placed in that area <br />and be visible but in keeping with the color family used on the building. <br />28 <br />
