23931 HWY 99 EXTERIOR RENOVATIONS
The subject building permit has been reassigned to me due to staff transition. I have reviewed
the updated materials and have two comments:
1. Colored Elevations. Please submit two copies of the colored elevations to better illustrate
the revised design of the building.
2. Building Design. Please submit a written response demonstrating how the updated plans
incorporate at least four of the design elements listed ECDC 16.60.030.C.4:
To ensure that buildings do not display blank, unattractive walls to the abutting
streets or residential properties, walls or portions of walls abutting streets or
visible from residentially zoned properties shall have architectural treatment
applied by incorporating at least four of the following elements into the design of
the facade: (a) Masonry (except for flat concrete block); (b) Concrete or masonry
plinth at the base of the wall; (c) Belt courses of a different texture and color;
(d) Projecting cornice; (e) Projecting metal canopy; (f) Decorative tilework;
(g) Trellis containing planting; (h) Medallions; (i) Artwork or wall graphics;
(j) Vertical differentiation; (k) Lighting fixtures; (l) An architectural element not
listed above, as approved, that meets the intent.
Make all submittals to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday through Friday,
