Bob Mesher, Project Architect, stated his agreement with all conditions of the staff report except that dealing with the delivery area driveway configuration. After discussing this point, the Commission agreed to allow the site plan to remain as presented, provided that the service yard gate swing direction is changed inward. MOVED BY MR. RICHARDS, WITH MR. JAMES' SECOND TO APPROVE DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR THE CASA LUPITA RESTAURANT AS DEPICTED ON EXHIBITS A, B, C, D, AND E ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 20 December 1979 AGENDA ITEM VI E CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING DIVISION INTRODUCTION A shoreline managment substantial develop- ment permit was approved in March 1979, for construction on this site of a 70,000 sq.ft. two -story office complex with under- ground parking. The project has now been modified in concept to provide all- surface parking and floor area reduced to about 57,500 sq. ft. ANALYSIS A) SITE 1) SETBACK /BUILDING ORIENTATION PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT 8:00 P.M. • DEVELOPMENT PI AN ! SCHNFTfFR /Nil S.FN OFFICE RIJTI DTNG The building orientation has been calculated to provide a significant setback distance from the Green River on the project's east boundary. Of necessity, this approach means that the residual setback distance from Interurban Avenue will be minimal. At its closest point, the building will be 14' east of the right -of -way line of the street, equal to about one -half the overall 26' height of the structure. The effect of this height /setback ratio, coupled with the extremely long, narrow north -to- south shape of the lot could be to overwhelm the street - scape of Interurban Avenue. However, careful use of landscape elements and arrangement of exterior building materials can offset much of that visual impact poten- tial. 2) Parking is provided to exact ordinance minimum (179 spaces) for office useage. However, the spaces immediately adjacent to the north -most driveway entry on Interurban Avenue as depicted on Exhibit A represent a potential traffic movement conflict and should be reconfigured, perhaps as shown on Exhibit C. 3) The proposed trash enclosure location shown on Exhibit A seems acceptable, but should be supplemented with elevation drawings of a screening struc- ture. Enclosure: Exhibits A, B, and C. B) ARCHITECTURE The proposed building configuration emphasizes the linearity of its setting relative to its Interurban Avenue Street frontage. This emphasis is reinforced by the repetitive occurrence of large window elements and the relative lack of variety on any of the four principal elevations. Staff suggests that the board discuss with the applicant the prospect of introducing some form of intermittent stylistic element to the building facade to adapt its length to the scale of the site. C) LANDSCAPE Exhibit C depicts a conceptual planting plan for the project. Staff suggests that, once again, the applicants have emphasized the strong north /south orienta- tion of the lot. Staff suggests that this trend can be de- emphasized to some degree by clustering taller trees in groves at strategic spots, such as at building corners, driveway entries, or property corners., Height of plantings and their arrangement will be coordinated carefully in the final plan to insure adequate screening of the parking area and adequate traffic site - distance clearances. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of development plans for the Schneider /Nilsen Office Complex as depicted on Exhibits A, B, and C according to the following conditions: 1) Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicants shall obtain department of public works approval of a utility service and public facility improvement diagram, and shall modify driveway openings and parking stall configurations as necessary to insure adequate traffic e distance and circulation safety. ZIG KT › I_Exhibit B may be modified to include slight variations in the style and material of exterior elevations with the intent of de- emphasizing the horizontal linearity of the building, subject to staff approval. 3) A final definitive landscape and irrigation plan shall be presented for staff review and approval prior to issuance of an occupancy permit. !x4 Vykko TO D€ b'kPMk •t2 Ho Z ll W 1'7 4) A detail drawing of the proposed trash enclosure screen shall be presented for approval by staff at the building permit stage of approval.
