The building is a similar scale to the building it will replace. It is oriented towards the street with a window wall <br />facing towards the west and adjacent to a Mall entrance that serves as a mall- campus "street ". The restaurant is <br />also a sports bar with its primary focus on sports entertainment. <br />CONCLUSIONS <br />DESIGN REVIEW CRITERIA <br />1. Site Design <br />The site design is pre- existing and is not being changed by this proposal. The proposed building is the same <br />footprint and similar scale to the bank building currently on the site. <br />2. Building Design. <br />The single building is a contemporary design that is similar in scale and identical footprint to the bank building <br />currently on the site. The wall treatment includes a varied material and color palette including brick, metal, and <br />EFIS in shades of gray, black, and yellow. The walls are varied in height and projection which adds visual interest <br />to the wall faces and accentuates the material and color variety. Similar cladding materials are used on building <br />facades within the immediate vicinity. The proposal is harmonious with surrounding development and meets the <br />design review criteria. <br />3. Landscaping and Site Treatment. <br />There are no changes to the existing landscaping and site conditions. The area surrounding the building was <br />redeveloped for surface parking in 2010. The parking and landscaping conformed to code at the time it was <br />developed and includes preservation of mature trees around the site perimeter. <br />The design details of the planters and trellis will need to reviewed and approved during the building permit stage. <br />Clematis fasciculiflora is understood to be available via mail -order and may not be readily available from a <br />contractor's nursery. The landscaper will need to plan ahead to obtain the plants. <br />4. Miscellaneous Structures. <br />The rooftop mechanical equipment is screened behind parapet walls. <br />The north elevation is permitted one wall sign. The west, east and south elevations are eligible for incentive signage. <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GUIDELINES. <br />1. Commercial Areas Goal 1.7 <br />The project meets the Commercial Areas Goal. The project is going through design review. Sidewalks are <br />preexisting and building- mounted lighting is an addition to the site. <br />2. Tukwila Urban Center Goal 10.2 <br />The project meets this goal. The project increases restaurant and entertainment opportunities in the Urban Center. <br />While on the same footprint as the bank building, the new project is oriented towards the street and improves the <br />pedestrian realm along the western side which is facing a main entrance onto the Mall campus. <br />SM Page 8 of 9 <br />Z:ADCD n C1erk's\PC Laserfiche Packet\L13 -012 Buffalo WW DR SR.docx <br />07/17/2013 <br />
