ZOA No. 2024-01 for South Coast Technology Center at 3100 West Lake Center Drive July 8, 2024 Page 3 overall development will be developed as a "shell construction" or "base build," which consists of only the building core and exterior elements (the shell). The interior build -out work is anticipated to be completed by any future tenants, to carry out before occupancy of the building. Shell construction is a very common building model/approach, especially for industrial buildings, that creates a blank slate on which prospective tenants can create a working space that is an exact fit for their own needs. In keeping with the campus feel, the buildings and site improvements are of a cohesive design with modern features and color scheme comprised of white, black, various shades of grey and an accent color. The building materials consist of concrete tilt up walls with groves and score lines for added texture, vertical and horizontal aluminum accents at the entryway, adjacent to glass storefronts. The outdoor patios would feature metal panel canopies with "groove picnic tables," "shear," and "Orion" benches, which are comprised of concrete and clean lines, in keeping with the modern asthenic of the center. Landscaping would also be planted in compatible, neutral above -ground planters, as well as in planter beds throughout the site, featuring a variety of colorful flowering shrubs, soft foliage, accent shrubs and evergreen shrubs. Additionally, various shade trees and flowering accent trees would be planted at entryways, site perimeter, and the parking lot. The entryway trees would be further accentuated with high quality and durable up -lighting. Although the site is anticipated to be enclosed by eight -foot wrought iron fencing, a minimum of ten feet of landscaping would be provided along the property frontages for buffering and screening. Access to Building 1 would be provided from Susan Street and Lake Center Dive, while Building 2 and 3 would have two entries from Lake Center Drive and one entry from Susan Street. The driveways would feature decorative paving to enhance the entryways and gates that would remain open during business hours and locked after hours. The site plan has been designed in a manner that would allow fire apparatus navigation through the site, designed to meet all fire lane requirements, and to meet the minimum fire separation requirements and setbacks.
