EIR No. 2004-01; ZOA No. 2004-06; DA No. 2004-04; CUP No. 2004-28; VTTM No. 2004-06; and SPR No. 2004-05 December 13, 2004 Page 8 Drive aisles lack landscaping. The applicant has addressed this item within the booklet dated December 6, 2004. Between garage openings, plant material such as a 'Climbing Rose' and 'Yew Pine' will be installed to add texture and soften these areas. Additionally, Tentative Tract Map, Condition 18 has been added to require a trellis or architectural feature to better articulate the alley facades and provide a framework to support the plant material. How is the parking provided for the Loft component? Parking will be provided in the form of garages and open guest spaces within the rear area of the lofts. Significant on-street parking will also be available along the crescent shaped street. Crosswalks along the crescent shaped street should be provided. The applicant will be working with the Public Works Agency on potential crosswalk opportunities. Appropriate locations will provide decorative pavement, signing and will allow for minimum sight distance per Public Works Agency standards. Loft units have primary view of a parking lot; how is this to be screened? The applicant has noted on the plans the planting of 24-inch box trees along each side of the crescent shaped road. The architectural booklet dated December 6, 2004 illustrates a section of the lofts along the crescent shaped road. Are bedrooms allowed on the ground level for the lofts? A condition similar to that imposed on the Santiago Lofts project is included in the conditional use permit (Condition No. 11). No opaque or painted glass should be used in the retail component, so as not to detract from the pedestrian oriented design. Tentative Tract Map, Condition 17 has been added to prohibit opaque or painted glass in the retail component. 758-12
