NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City Council hereby makes the
following findings of fact:
A. The proposed Project is in conformance with the guidelines and standards
contained in the Design Manual.
B. The proposed Project is consistent with the intent and the guidelines of the
"Commercial" section of the Design Manual as follows:
1. The Project's scale is proportional to nearby buildings and is appropriate
given the parcel size. The Project does not overwhelm facilities to the
south and ease by being an out-of-character style.
2. Given the constraints on parcel size, the quality of the site planning and
architecture implement the guidelines of the Design manual in that the
Project's architecture, landscaping and parking layout promote an
attractive, inviting, imaginative and functional arrangement.
3. The functionality of the site is adequate because the design of the
Project recognizes the importance of parking and circulation to the
success or failure of this commercial enterprise in terms of ingress and
egress and potential conflicts with street traffic, on-site circulation and
potential conflicts between cars, pedestrians and service vehicles, and
the overall configuration, efficiency and appearance of the parking area
and circulation drive.
