The proposed 12,386 s.f. addition to the Family Fun Center will be a visually cohesive addition to the existing
building. The concept of the elevation is for the addition to provide the appearance of a new "wing" to the
building.
Relationship of Structure to Site:
a) The location of the new addition was previously planned in the original schematic design of the
building. The new additional will create clear demarcation /buffer between the parking areas and the
outdoor amusement areas behind (Northwest) the building. The addition will be clearly seen as a
secondary portion of the building and thus direct pedestrian movement along the existing sidewalk to
the main entrance of the existing building.
b) All existing parking areas as previously permitted will remain.
c) The scale of the building addition is appropriate to the site and will step down lower than the existing
building since it is closer to the riverfront buffer.
Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Area:
a) The new building addition will use similar materials, color, and finishes where it abuts the existing
building at the appropriate elevations to create a cohesive connection between the existing building
and new addition.
b) All existing landscaping will remain, keeping the appropriate mature landscape buffer between the
outdoor amusement areas and the adjacent properties.
c) The new addition will provide a consistent unified look and theme to the existing building and will
appear as one structure.
d) The existing vehicular and pedestrian circulation routes will remain unaltered.
e) The existing vehicular circulation pattern will provide clear access from the street to both the
addition and the existing building.
Landscape and Site Treatment:
a) No new landscaping or changes to landscaping are proposed. All existing plants and landscaped
areas will be maintained to preserve the existing appearance of the site.
Building Design:
a) The new building will have an appropriate scale as a secondary portion of the existing structure. The
new building will be a light framed pre - fabricated metal building structure similar to the existing
building. The exterior materials of stucco and corrugated metal panel will be continued on the new
addition.
