For Commissioner Guerriero, Ms. Kelkar relayed that retail-type tenants have been approved for
the zone but that the applicant will also be encouraging restaurant-type tenants.
Commissioner Chiniaeff expressed concern with the "row of signage" type appearance and
would strongly encourage that the applicant explore the possibility of monument signage.
Mr. Allan Abshez, representing OCC, noted that there is a restriction in the CC&Rs for the
center that limits the monument signage; and that the applicant is willing to buy back individual
signs to the Planning Commission as the applicant acquires tenants.
Commissioner Chiniaeff relayed that he is not desirous of individual signs for individual tenants
spread across the building; but rather monument signage for each frontage with the listing of
tenants.
For Commissioner Chiniaeff, Mr. Abshez relayed that he would need to consult with the
applicant to inquire if grouping the tenants on monument signage would be a possibility.
For Commissioner Guerriero, Associate Planner Harris relayed that staff has not reviewed the
CC&Rs but that there is a sign program that has freestanding signs permitted.
Mr. Harris also relayed that staff has a condition that the applicant would need to return to the
Planning Commission with a sign program noting that a sign program has not been analyzed at
this time.

. That the applicant could possibly explore the possibility of the clustering concept, adding
a cluster on each building;
. That the applicant is not concerned with the name of the building but rather it is more
important that the tenants acquire recognition.
For Mr. Ostromel, Commissioner Chiniaeff relayed that most CC&Rs have a provision whereby
the applicant can request for something different and queried if the applicant has gone down
this avenue.
In response to Commissioner Chiniaeff, Mr. Ostromel noted that the sign program has been in
place for sometime and that the applicant is only a minor member, advising that there are five
other owners; and that the applicant has not requested monument signage from CC&R.
For Mr. Ostromel, Commissioner Chiniaeff noted that he understands that the applicant is only a
minority holder of the complex but suggested that he return to the Board and explore the
possibility of obtaining monument signage on both sides of the entrances.
Commissioner Chiniaeff also relayed that he would be inclined to move forward with the
architecture only and that this would give the applicant an opportunity to explore the possibility
of adding monument signs.
For Commissioner Mathewson, Mr. Ostromel relayed that it would be his opinion that there is no
language in the CC&Rs that would prohibit landscaping from blocking the site line but rather it is
an issue that would be negotiated with every tenant.
For the Commission, Ms. Ubnoske noted that staff is requesting approval of the Development
Plan.
Mr. Harris further clarified that the approved site plan indicated that either a motel or restaurant
would be developed on the pad; and that if the uses were to change, the applicant would need
to return to the Planning Commission for approval; and that the Commission would be acting on
the condition to change the land use as well.
Commissioner Olhasso noted that she would be desirous of bronze lettering for signage and
would not want to see any colors, lights, or channels noting that this would only lessen the
esthetically pleasing architecture of the building.
Commissioner Telesio relayed suggested that sign age be consistent in shape and color and
queried why the applicant would be installing signage in the back of the building noting that in

For Chairman Telesio, Mr. Ostromel noted that the applicant will ensure that all signage is
consistent.

project was designed, it was to give a back-drop to the monument sign that currently exists.
At this time, the Planning Commission took a five minute break.
Ms. Vandana,Kelkar per Power Point Presentation, presented photo simulations of the front of
the building, noting that the applicant has gone to great effort to carry the front elements of the
building to the back.
For Mr. Ostromel, Commissioner Mathewson relayed that by what is currently being proposed,
the applicant is already excluding a single-user.
,
Ms. Kelkar relayed that because the way the site is laid out, it dictates that it be one "L" shaped
building or two smaller buildings.
\
For Commissioner Mathewson, Mr. Ostromel relayed that the project was never set up as a pad
lease like the Red Lobster building, and that the brokers are seeking multi-user and single-user
tenant.
For the Commission, Mr. Ostromel relayed that the applicant did explore other possibilities of
trying to design the use of the overall site and that the proposed project is what seemed to be
the best plan; and that in regard to the back elevation, Mr. Ostromel is of the opinion that the
applicant has made great efforts to address the Planning Commission's concerns stating that
the proposed is a high quality building and respectfully requests action be taken.
In response to Mr. Ostromel, Commissioner Mathewson relayed that he has never referred to
the proposed building as a low-quality building and relayed that there are many examples that
display rear buildings that carry front-building elements and is of the opinion that the proposed
project is not where it could be and is not inclined to move forward at this time.

metal canopies with support which screen doors and provide interest, and the existing
landscaping are enhancements to the back of the building.

seen from Overland down to Winchester Road and is of the opinion that more can be done to
enhance the rear of the building.

of approvina this proiect as presented with the condition that the applicant returns to the
Planning Commission with a sign program.
