PROJECT LOCATION 1625 Adrian Road City of Burlingame Commercial Design Review and Variances Address: 1625 Adrian Road Item No. Consent Calendar Meeting Date: 10/27/08 Request: Application for Commercial Design Review and Variances for Build-to Line and Landscaping for an addition to an existing commercial building for an automotive service facility. Applicant: Geoff Burns APN: 025-262-330 Architect: Wagner Architecture Group Zoning: RR, Automobile Sales and Service Overlay Area Property Owner: William D. Spencer Lot Area: 110,565 SF (2.53 acres) General Plan: Industrial Uses: Industrial & Office Use North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan — Adrian Road Auto Row District Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15301 (e) (2), which states that additions to existing structures are exempt from environmental review, provided that the addition will not result in an increase of more than 10,000 SF, and if all public facilities are available for maximum development permissible in the general plan, and the site is not in an environmentally sensitive area. Current Use: Office and distribution facility for DHL Proposed Use: Automotive service facility Permitted Use: Automobile repair with adequate on-site parking. Adjacent Development: Manufacturing, distribution, commercial recreation and warehouse uses. Project Summary: The applicant is proposing an addition, which includes interior and exterior renovations, to an existing commercial building at 1625 Adrian Road, Zoned RR. Currently, there is an existing one-story building which was most recently occupied by DHL, a distribution facility (existing building is approximately 46,881 SF, including a mezzanine, covered walkways and covered docks). With the proposed addition and renovations, the building will be increased in size to 53,507 SF (net increase of 6,626 SF). The site is bordered by a two-story manufacturing building to the north, a two-story commercial recreation and office/warehouse building to the south, an automobile storage lot to the west and Highway 101 to the east. The proposed use of the site is an automotive service center for Peter Pan BMW. This site is located in the Automobile Sales and Service Overlay Area within the RR Zoning District. RR Code Section 25.44.050, states that automobile repair, both minor and major, is a permitted use within the Automobile Sales and Service Overlay Area, as long as the following criteria are met: (A) Provide on-site storage for all cars being repaired on-site; (B) Provide on-site parking for all vehicles being serviced and for vehicles of all employees working on the premise; and (C) Have a floor area ratio of not more than 0.5. The proposed project complies with the criteria above (on-site parking is provided according to code requirements and proposed FAR is 0.48). Therefore, the proposed automotive service facility is a permitted use in this zoning district. In addition, the proposed project is located in the Adrian Road Auto District of the North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan. This subarea is targeted to establish a new center for automobile sales and service. The applicant is requesting the following applications: ■ Commercial Design Review for an addition and exterior renovations to an existing commercial building (C.S. 25.44.070); ■ Variance for Build-to Line for proposed addition at front of building (front fa�ade is proposed to be set back 43'-4" and 34'-4" where the code requires at least 20% of the building to have a zero setback)(C.S. 25.44.075, b); ■ Variance for total on-site landscaping (7.4% proposed where 10% is the minimum required) (C.S. 25.44.100, 1); and • Variance for front setback landscaping (22.9% proposed where 60% is the minimum required) (C.S. 25.44.100, 2). Commercial Design Review and Variances 1625 Adrian Road The proposed project includes demolishing the existing wood-framed portion of the building at the front of the site (8,122 SF) and replacing it with a new steel-framed metal clad addition (12,671 SF). This portion of the buiiding will contain offices for service representatives, customer waiting area, auto parts showroom and service drive (see sheet A2.1). The existing concrete tilt-up portion of the building (34,027 SF) would remain; however the existing mezzanine level (2,907 SF) and covered docks at the rear of the building (880 SF) would be eliminated and replaced with a new mezzanine (3,200 SF), carwash (1,529 SF) and detail area (2,080 SF). This portion of the building will contain 48 service bays, 6 detail bays, a car wash, parts storage, associated restrooms, break room and locker room. W ith the proposed addition and site renovations, the applicant is proposing to make improvements to the exterior of the building. The addition at the front of the building will include aluminum composite metal panels (natural aluminum), a clear anodized glazed storefront system and smooth stucco walls over steel framing. The existing tilt-up portion of the building contains a smooth stucco finish. There are no changes proposed to this portion of the building, otherthan installing openings and metal roll-up doors forthe service drive. The newcanvash atthe rear of the building will be a CMU block wall painted to match the building. The new detail area, also at the rear of the building, will contain steel columns and metal wall fascia panels. The existing building is set back approximately 30'-0" as measured to the covered walkway (34'-10" as measured to the wall of the building). The new addition will be set back 43'-4"; the angled top portion at the left side of the front facade will be set back 34'-4". A Variance for Buiid-to Line is required (front faCade is proposed to be set back 43'-4" and 34'-4" where the code requires at least 20% of the building to have a zero setback). The proposed addition, as measured to the roof ridge, is 31'-10" above average top of curb (35'-0" height allowed without a conditional use permit). Currently, the existing building covers 39.7% of the lot (includes the covered docks at the rear of the building). With the proposed addition and renovations, the lot coverage will increase to 46.6% where 60% is the maximum allowed (includes cantilevered portion at the front of the building). The proposed floor area ratio is 0.48 where 0.50 is the maximum allowed. Parking: The on-site parking requirement must be evaluated for a change in type or intensification of use (CS 25.70.010, b). In this case, the use is being altered from an existing office and distribution facility to an automotive service facility. The proposed automotive service facility will contain service uses (32,436 SF), office uses (4,532 SF), storage uses (8,400 SF) and parts showroom (1,776 SF). Based on the parking ratios associated with these uses, the on-site parking demand for the proposed service facility is 67 parking spaces. As part of the site improvements, the existing paving will be replaced with asphalt concrete, concrete and grass paving, and includes restriping and reconfiguring the parking spaces. A total of 79 parking spaces are proposed on-site (66 standard, 10 compact and 3 disabled-accessible spaces) where a minimum of 67 parking spaces are required for the proposed use. Landscaping: The proposed project is subjectto the landscaping requirements of the RR Zoning District, which requires 10%, or 11,059 SF of the site to contain soft landscaping. As proposed, a Variance for total site landscaping is required (7.4%, 8,264 SF total site landscaping proposed where 10%, 11,059 SF is the minimum required). The code also requires 60%, or 6,837 soft landscaping within the front setback. A Variance for front setback landscaping is required (22.9°/o, 2,619 SF landscaping within the required front setback is proposed where 60%, 6,837 SF is the minimum required). The applicant notes that as mitigation, a grass pave system is proposed for the angled parking spaces in front of the building (grass pave not included in front setback landscaping calculation). The applicant is also proposing to provide soft landscaping in the city's right-of-way between the front property line and inner edge of sidewalk. Additional landscaping would be provided in the utility easement at the rear of the site if permission is granted from the property owner. Planning staff would note that although the Specific Area Plan recommends planting Eucalyptus ficifolia (Red Flowering Gum) along Adrian Road, the City Arborist recommends planting six, 24-inch box Chinese Pistache trees and felt that this species is more appropriate for the goal of establishing automobile sales and service uses E Commercial Design Review and Variances 1625 Adrian Road in this area. Planning staffwould note thatthe Community Development Departmentand Parks Departmentwill be reviewing the recommendations in the Specific Area Plan in the near future and will process a request to make amendment as necessary. The applicant provided a Landscape Plan showing trees and plantings to be installed throughout the site (see Landscape Pian, sheet L1.0). In addition to the six street trees discussed above, two 24-inch box size Chitalpa trees are proposed near the front corners of the building. The Landscape Plan notes that the landscape pallete consists of drought tolerant and climate responsive plants. Table 1 below provides a comparison of the proposed project to the RR Zoning District development standards. Table 2 on pages 4-6 shows how the proposed project meets the Design Guidelines of the North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan (Auto Row Area).

This could be achieved by the adoption of a unified approach to the transition space between the public sidewalk and the private outdoor automobile sales areas. Approaches to this could include: ■ A special district-wide fence material or style • A series of bollards in a unified style or design ■ A change in the ground plane level • Landscaping or raised planting beds Will be reviewed by Planning Commission as part of design review process. At grade landscaping is proposed adjacent to the sidewalk. The district-wide concept should work at the pedestrian scale of the business patron as well as the scale of the adjacent U.S. 101.

Staff Comments: See attached. Planning staff would note that the applicant has been working with the various city departments to address their comments. Many of the comments have already been addressed on the proposed plans. Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission design review study meeting on October 14, 2008, the Commission had several comments and suggestions regarding this project (October 14, 2008 Planning Commission Minutes). The applicant submitted a response letter and revised plans dated October 17, 2008. Listed below are the Commissions' comments and responses by the applicant. 1. Encouraged making area near guest parking more pedestrian friend/y by increasing the landscape area and adding modest trees, even if it means removing a few parking spaces; bring the landscaping percentage up a bit. Cou/d soften the front fa�ade a bit with more landscaping. In his written response dated October 17, 2008, the applicant notes that the size of the landscape areas on either side of the front parking area has been increased and additional landscaping was added in the middle of this parking area. The modification to the middle island creates a path of travel from the street sidewalk to the main entry of the building, while also creating additional space for low lying landscaping. Planning staff would note that an additional 831 SF of landscaping was added at the front of the site, which includes one 24-inch box Chitalpa tree in the landscape island on either end of the front parking area (see revised Landscape Plan, sheet L1.0, date stamped October 17, 2008). A total of three parking spaces were eliminated to accommodate the increased landscape areas (the project still complies with on-site parking since these spaces were provided beyond the minimum requirement). Planning staff would note that with the 831 SF increase in landscaping, the total on-site landscaping will increase from previously proposed 7,433 SF (6.7% of total site) to 8,264 SF (7.4% of total site) where 11,057 SF (10% of site) is required. The front setback landscaping will increase from previously proposed 1,788 SF (15.6% of front setback) to 2,619 SF (22.9% of front setback) where 6,837 SF (60% of front setback) is required. Although the amount of landscaping was increased, Variances for total site landscaping and front setback landscaping are still required. 0 Commercial Design Review and Variances 1625 Adrian Road 2. Asked how fraffic flow would work on the site; reduce guest parking and fill-in with landscaping on the left side so that circulation is not confusing; make circulation intuitive. • The applicant notes that the vehicle circulation at the front of the site has been improved with the enlarged landscaped areas (see revised plans date stamped October 17, 2008). The larger landscape areas will accommodate appropriate directional signage to clearly guide customers to the service drive. 3. Good trade-off to spend more effort on landscaping in the swa/e at the rear of fhe property; would be a mitigating factorfor fhe Variances; use bio-swa/es along rear and possiblysides ofthe propertyas part of the drainage of the sife; include as a condition of approval. Applicant should address how sife drainage will work on the site and how impact on stormwater will be addressed. The projecYs civil engineer confirmed that the large area of landscaping at the rear of the site is being used as a bio-swale. Currently, surface water drains to existing catch basins along the left and right sides of the property, as well as to the rear of the site into the existing vegetated area (bio-swale) at the rear and then into catch basins within the vegetated area (these catch basins contain a filtering component) (see sheets C-3 through C-4). The site drainage is eventually carried to the drainage ditch behind the subject property. The proposed project includes modifying and upgrading the bio-swale and catch basins throughout the site so that drainage is filtered prior to leaving the site. In addition, curb breaks will be incorporated along the parking curb next to the bio-swale which would allow for surface water to enter into the bio-swale and be filtered and/or percolate into the ground. The applicant notes that the surface water from the new parking area at the front of the building will flow to new catch basins, which will direct this water out to Adrian Road. The applicant comments that adding bio-swales along the sides of the building was considered, but unfortunately could not be effectively designed due to the narrow landscape areas and necessary clearances required by the Fire Division. 4. Request that the applicant identify any LEED design elements incorporated into the plan. • The applicant notes that although he doesn't have specific information regarding LEED design elements for this project at this time, he will be looking at incorporating some components of LEED but will not be going for certification. Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review in the RR District as established in Ordinance No. 1789 adopted by the Council on June 5, 2006, are outlined as follows: (1) Architectural design and siting of structures which supports the light industrial, manufacturing and job creating land uses of the Rollins Road subarea as adopted in the North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan with the focus on creating positive streets for safe vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian use interfacing with appropriately scaled development. (2) Create an appropriate form, shape and scaled interface between the vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian uses of the street and the buildings and their uses along the public realm, including attention to the pattern of landscaping, physical identification of the site and building entrances; the design should be architecturally compatible with the surrounding development and consistent with the design guidelines and development of structures in the Rollins Road subarea. (3) To achieve a unified and successful Auto Row in the Rolli�s Road subarea, develop a unifying thematic design concept for the area built on a single approach to the transition space between the public sidewalk and the private outdoor sales area using such concepts as using consistent fencing material 7 Commercial Design Review and Variances 1625 Adrian Road throughout the Auto Row area, unifying signage approaches which also reflect the architectural style and materials of the development on each site and take into consideration the character of the entire Auto Row area; focus on development at a scale which works at the pedestrian level as well as from US 1 Q1; develop a pattern of consistent landscaping, and encourage building facades which are articulated, structurally incorporate human scale elements and properly integrate large display window areas. Findings for Design Review: Based on the findings stated by the Planning Commission in the attached minutes of their October 14, 2008 meeting, that the design of the proposed addition and exterior renovation is at a scale which works at the pedestrian level as well as from US 101, contains both low lying landscaping and trees to soften the front facade, and contains a building facade which is articulated and incorporates human scale and large display window areas, and therefore the project is found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's design review criteria for the RR Zoning District. Required Findings for Variance: In order to grant a variance the Planning Commission must find that t'o�e following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.54.020 a-d): (a) there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involvvd that do not apply generally to property in the same district; (b) the granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant, and to prevent unreasonable property loss or unnecessary hardship; (c) the granting of the application will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare or convenience; and (d) that the use of the property will be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of existi�g an potential uses of properties in the general vicinity. Findings for Build-to Line: Based on the findings stated by the Planning Commission in the attached minutes of their October 14, 2008 meeting, that the existing building is nonconforming with respect to the minimum required build-to line and that the proposed replacement and addition at the front of the building would be in approximately the same footprint and front setback (34'-4"); that the proposed landscaping within the front setback provides an appropriate shape and scaled interface between the vehicular and pedestrian uses of t.he street and the buildings as well as identifying the building entrances; based on these facts the project is found to be compatible with the variance criteria listed above. Findings for Total Site and Front Setback Landscaping: Based on the findings stated by the Planniing Commission in the attached minutes of their October 14, 2008 meeting, that the existing total site landscaping is nonconforming in area and is concentrated primarily at the front and rear of the site; the proposed project would replace the existing deteriorated landscaping with new drought tolerant and climate responsive plants, add new landscaping along the right and left sides of the building, add two new 24-inch box size Chitalpa trees at the frc�nt corners of the building and add six new 24-inch box Chinese Pistache trees in the ciry's right-of-way between the front property line and edge of sidewalk; the existing front setback landscaping would be replaced with a park�ng area and new landscape islands, the parking area at the front of the building would consist of grass pave material; based on these facts the project is found to be compatible with the variance criteria listed above.

The following are the actions taken for each item: 2. 3. 4. 5. � 7 8 We have increased the size of the landscaping islands on either side of the main entry and added a landscape island in the middle of the building. This will effectivety add an area on the north side of the building to install one tree, additional low lying landscaping and a sign providing guests with clear direction of where to do once entering the site. The modification to the middle island creates a path of travel from the street sidewaik to the main entry of the building whfle also creating additional space for low tying landscaping. The increased size of ihe island on the south side of the building ailows for the installation of one tree as well as more low lying landscaping. The effect of increasing these islands was to eliminate 3 guest parking stalis at the front of the building (from 13 to 10). Per above. additional landscaping to 'soften' the front elevation has been added. Per above, we increased the landscaping and added signage to better guide guests. No comment necessary After review of the drawings,'site with our civii engineer, v✓e confirmed that we are already using a large area of landscaping at the rear ef the property as a bio-swale AII of the site does drain to the rear of the property and into this vegetated area- From there it goes into the catch basins which also have a fiitering component. We were unable to effectively use the area along the sides of the building as bio-swale due to the actual width of the landscaping and the necessary clearances we need for fire department access alony both sides of the building. Per the above. the entire site drains to the rear of the property (as it exists now). We will be modifying/upgrading the current site dramage by adding filiering methods (bio-swale and catch basins) prior to the stonn water leaving the site. No comment necessary No comment necessary aithough we would be wiiling to assist with any q�estions the City may have regarding guidelines for auto uses You will also be receiving updated drawings that reflect the changes made to the landscape and architectural drawings as well as a plan from the civil engineer explaining the site drainage.

Senior Planner Hurin briefly presented the project description. Corrected parking space requirement to be 67 spaces, not 69 spaces. There w�re no questions of staff. Chair Cauchi opened the public comment period. Commission comments: Suggested looking at consistency between the North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan and the arborisYs recommendations regarding street trees. Geoff Burns, 5202 Kearny Mesa Road, San Diego; represented the applicant. Commission comments: • Encouraged making area near guest parking more pedestrian friendly by increasing the landscape area and adding modest trees, even if it means removing a few parking spaces; bring Che landscaping percentage up a bit. ■ Could soften the front faCade a bit with more landscaping. ■ Asked how traffic flow would work on the site; reduce guest parking and fill-in with landscaping on the left side so that circulation is not confusing; make circulation intuitive. • Welcomed the use. ■ Good trade-off to spend more effort on landscaping in the swale at the rear of the property; would be a mitigating factor for the Variances; use bioswales along rear and possibly sides of the property as part of the drainage of the site; include as a condition of approval. • Applicant should address how site drainage will work on the site and how impact on stormwater ENill be addressed. ■ The building design is acceptable. ■ The City may need to re-visit the standards for the Auto-Overlay zone; the guidelines are being tested with this application.

This could be achieved bj- the adoption of a unified approach to the transition space between the public sidewalk and the private outdoor auto- mobile sales areas. Approaches to this could include: ♦ A special district-�vide fence material ox sri�le. ♦ r1 sexies of bollaxds in a unified style or design. ♦ A change in the ground plane level. ♦ Landscaping or raised planting beds. $Z NORTH BURLINGAME/ROLLINS ROAD SPECIFIC PLAN CHAPTER G: DESIGN GUIDELINES The auto row area-�vide concept should �voxk at the pedestrian scale of the business patron as well as die scale of the adjacent U.S. 101. Thezefoxe, the concept could include a unified approach to: ♦ Showxoom fa4ade design. ♦ Design treatment of the sueet-facing esteri- ox sales areas, such as vazying ground planes. ♦ Design of freestanding signs. 2.

Describe the exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to your property which do not apply to other properties in this area. Do any conditions exist on the site which make other alternatives to the variance impracticable or impossible and are also not common to other properties in the area? For example, is there a creek cutting through the property, an exceptional tree specimen, steep terrain, odd lot shape or unusual placement of existing structures? How is this property different from others in the neighborhood? b, Explain why the variance request is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right and what unreasona6le property /oss or unnecessary hardship might result form the denial of the application. Would you be unable to build a project similar to others in the area or neighborhood without the exception? (i.e., having as much on-site parking or bedrooms?) Would you be unable to develop the site for the uses allowed without the exception? Do the requirements of the law place an unreasonable limitation or hardship on the development of the property? c. Explain why the proposed use at the proposed location will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity or to public health, safety, general welfare or convenience. How will the proposed structure or use within the structure affect neighboring properties or structures on those properties? If neighboring properties will not be affected, state why. Think about traffic, noise, lighting, paving, landscaping sun�ight/shade, views from neighboring properties, ease of maintenance. Why will the structure or use within the structure not affect the public's health, safety or general welfare? Public health includes such things as sanitation (garbage), air quality, discharges into sewer and stormwater systems, water supply safety, and things which have the potential to affect public health (i.e., underground storage tanks, storage of chemicals, situations which encourage the spread of rodents, insects or communicable diseases). Public safetV. How will the structure or use within the structure affect police or fire protection? W ill alarm systems or sprinklers be installed? Could the structure or use within the structure create a nuisance or need for police services (i.e., noise, unruly gatherings, loitering, traffic) or fire services (i.e., storage or use of flammable or hazardous materials, or potentially dangerous activities like welding, woodwork, engine removal). General welfare is a catch-all phrase meaning community good. Is the proposal consistent with the city's policy and goals for conservation and development? is there a social benefit? Convenience. How would the proposed structure or use affect public convenience (such as access to or parking for this site or adjacent sites)? Is the proposal accessible to particular segments of the public such as the elderly or handicapped? d. How will fhe proposed project be compatible with fhe aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of the existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general vicinity. How does the proposed structure or use compare aesthetically with existing neighborhood? If it does not affect aesthetics, state why. If changes to the structure are proposed, was the addition designed to match existing architecture, pattern of development on adjacent properties in the neighborhood? If a use will affect the way a neighborhood or area looks, such as a long term airport parking lot, compare your proposal to other uses in the area and explain why it fits. fiow does the proposed structure compare to neighboring structures in terms of mass or bulk? If there is no change to tl�e structure, say so. If a new structure is proposed, compare its size, appearance, orientation, etc. with other structures in the neighborhood or area. How will the structure or use within the structure change the character of the neighborhood? Think of character as the image or tone established by size, density of development and general pattern of land use. Will there be more traffic or less parking available resulting from this use? If you don't feel the character of the neighborhood will change, state why. How will the proposed project be compatible with existing and potential uses in the general vicinity? Compare your project with existing uses. State why you feel your project is consistent with other uses in the vicinity, and/or state why your project would be consistent with potential uses in the vicinity.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT • 501 PRIMROSE ROAD • BURLINGAME, CA 94010 p: 650.558.7250 • f: 650.696.3790 • www.burlingame.org Handouts\Variance Application.2008 4 1625 Adrian Road — Variance Application Responses Summary — we are requesting a variance to eliminate the requirement for at least 20% of the building being built to the zero setback line along Adrian Rd. Below are our responses to items a— d on the Variance Application: a. The exceptional/extraordinary circumstances that apply to our facility are directly related to the existing conditions and the proposed use. First, we are proposing to re-use the majority of the existing structure. This limits the available property between it and Adrian Rd. Second, this use is a service based business that has customers who are not always familiar with the facility. Traffic flow must be clear and easy for the guest to understand. We effectively have two types of traffic entering the site. The first is the service customer. We offer them a clear path into the service drive which will be covered and creates the most efficient way to get the customer out of their car and on their way. The second is the guest either buying a part or picking up another customer. We want to keep this traffic separate from the first group, yet give them a place to park off of the street. If we don't get the variance and have to build the structure to the zero lot line then we will lose the clear path of travel/parking that the front stalls provide. b. Due to a number of constraints (including use of existing building, required square footage for the additional structure and traffic flow) it would make it very difficult to build a facility with a zero setback at Adrian Rd. Should this request for variance not be approved it will be necessary to re-evaluate how the site traffic flow will be routed. As stated above, the current design provides the most efficient combination of guest access to the business. The front parking is for guest only. The service drive provides for guest to employee transfer and behind the service drive is employee only. Should we have to allow for the 20% zero setback we would have to look at locating the proposed parking currently shown at the front of the building somewhere else on the site and thus disrupting the flow of work and creating a disconnect between business functions in the front and rear buildings. c. The proposed use at the proposed location will not be detrimental or injurious to the surrounding areas. While a bit of a design challenge, the property is an excellent location for the proposed use. Not only is it a visual improvement to the current conditions, but it is in line with the proposed master plan use for the area as we are proposing to bring the auto component to Adrian Rd. Regarding public health, public safety, general welfare and convenience, we offer the following comments: • Public health — this project specifically improves potential public health issues as the site will be brought up to applicable design guidelines for storm water runoff; and all components installed for the service of vehicles will be self contained and state of the art within the industry. • Public safety — the facility will have the fire sprinkler system updated and there will be a security system installed. Also, for after hours security, the site will be secured with fences/gates. • General welfare — as mentioned above, the proposed use is within the uses of the master plan. Alsq the project will ultimately clean-up an existing industrial type use and bring up to current guidelines for storm water runoff and energy usage. We are also conserving the existing 35,000 square foot structure and adopting it to our use. • Comenience — The main customers for the business will be repeat guests that will be dropping off there vehicle for service a few times per year. The access to the property is very easy from highway 101 and in addition to `class A' amenities that we will offer to those who will wait for their vehicles, there will also be the opportunity to shuttle the guest either to the train station or the airport as an added convenience. d. With regards to the design for the proposed project, the mass/bulk will be in line with the surrounding properties. As for the aestheticslcharacter, although it is different from the current facilities along Adrian Rd. it remains simple enough that it will be a good transition facility from the current buildings to the future auto related facilities.
