CUP No. 04 -24, DA No. 04 -03, TTM No. 04 -05, <br />VA No. 04 -11, ZOA No. 04 -05 and SPR No. 04 -06 <br />November 22, 2004 <br />Page 4 <br />Exterior amenities for the project include a motor court drop -off at the <br />First American Way entry, enhanced paving at the street level and <br />central courtyard, a formal row of palm tree's along First American Way, <br />extensive landscaping within the central resident courtyard and a <br />swimming pool, spa and large sun deck. In addition, an outdoor <br />fireplace and barbeque, park benches, lush landscaping and a water <br />feature will be provided within the resident courtyard. Finally, a <br />minimum of 7,000 square feet of private storage space will be provided <br />in the three -level garage as well as a minimum of 25 square feet within <br />each unit in the form of additional closet space beyond that provided <br />for in the bedrooms. <br />The developer has coordinated with the City's consulting urban designer <br />to refine the exterior finishes of the buildings and address comments <br />raised at prior Planning Commission study sessions. The buildings have <br />been designed to be the focal point of MacArthur Place while <br />complementing the existing office, hotel and retail structures. The <br />contemporary buildings will consist of materials such as concrete, glass <br />and plaster with metal articulations throughout the exterior. In <br />addition, the first two levels of the project will incorporate a <br />sandstone veneer finish, with the sandstone being used up to the fourth <br />level at the corners on MacArthur Boulevard to unify the parking <br />structure with the towers. <br />The landscaping concept for the Geneva Commons project is designed to <br />reinforce and enhance the existing landscape and streetscape. To <br />emphasize the urban nature of First American Way, special hardscape and <br />landscape features such as outdoor seating, lighting, and special pavement <br />treatments will highlight the retail area and sidewalks. A diverse <br />landscape palette will also be provided along MacArthur Boulevard to <br />accent the various architectural treatments along this corridor <br />(Exhibit 6). <br />Analysis of the Issues <br />Conditional Use Permit <br />Section IV (Land Use) of the Specific Development No. 43 (SD -43) <br />document identifies the permitted and conditionally permitted uses <br />within the MacArthur Place District Center.
