DBA No. 2020-01/SPR No. 2020-01/SPR No Third & Broadway Mixed -Use Development September 28, 2020 Page 4 Architecture & Amenities 2020-02NAR No. 2020-05/TPM No. 2020-02 The architectural style of the development is California Contemporary, which is one of the six architectural styles permitted by the TZC. The mixed -use building has been designed as three distinct masses, with an open roof deck at the fourth and fifth levels to provide views of the W.H. Spurgeon Building's clock tower to the north. The three recessed and projecting volumes have separate architectural elements to create the appearance of multiple masses ratherthan one single structure. The corner of Broadway and Third Street features a public plaza that will include a statement evergreen tree. The building's ground level details, such as tan masonry brick street walls and recessed retail entrances, will link the project to the existing environment and is similar to the buildings that characterize Downtown Santa Ana. The middle building mass is comprised mainly of the parking structure, which will be screened with angled perforated metal panels with a brass finish. The upper portion of the building contains the residential units with floor -to -ceiling glass windows and balconies that span each level. The portions of the lower level roofs visible from above will incorporate artificial green roofs and water infiltration planters. The hotel is a contemporary building designed generally as a single mass. The building will also feature a 4,046-square foot ground -level lobby, 300-square foot meeting space on the seventh floor, 853-square foot meeting room on the tenth floor, 300-square foot amenity rooms, outdoor terraces and balconies, and a roof deck with a kitchen and outdoor seating that will overlook Downtown Santa Ana. It is proposed that the rooftop will be accessible to the public and provide food and beverage service. The exterior of the building includes high quality material such a white marble with contrasting grey metal panels and bronze window frames that will create a visual icon within Downtown Santa Ana. The upper levels will be recessed from the base of the building creating a publicly accessible deck and private hotel room decks on the third level that overlook Sycamore Street, Public wall art is proposed on each elevation of the residential building and at the ground level of the south elevation (along Third Street) of the hotel building. To promote walkability, sidewalks ten feet in width will be provided along base of the buildings, benches will be installed at the corners of Sycamore and Third Street, and new Sycamore trees along Sycamore Street will be planted. With proper permits and approvals, it is intended that Sycamore Street could be closed temporarily for events such as a farmer's market or artisan fair, with City approvals. Project and Site Background Site Background The site's existing public parking structure was constructed in the early 1980s. The structure consists of 440 parking spaces (an approximately 146,055-square foot, three -level structure) that provides both daily and monthly public parking. The parking structure is in need of significant repairs to fix structural shoring, drainage, circulation and outdated parking equipment issues. 75A-46
