Um, this is christin a tummions senior planner filling in for adam ross this is a minor design review for a proposed or a approved in and out burger a project Project is located at 520 dole park drive As shown in the dash yellow outline It's just south of the large costco shopping center to the north The project involves a minor design review. It's for a 4 000 square foot retail building with access off yolanda and santa rosa avenue. It's a drive through establishment with counter ordering as well The conditional use permit for the drive through extended hours of operation and The mitigated negative declaration were approved and adopted by the planning commission on january 14th 2021. So today We are we are reviewing the architecture design An overall design of the site Here's the site plan that shows the The restaurant drive through parking and landscaping These are color renderings of the proposed in and out Building Here is an elevation a west elevation of the in and out structure Here is the south and east elevations Here is the north elevation showing the drive through Covered drive through These are the colors and materials that are proposed mixture of paint painted stucco and Stone stone along the the base and then a decorative trim Corporate trim for in and out Here is the floor plan inside of the building Here is the proposed landscape plan There's perimeter landscaping and trees in the parking lot area and as stated earlier the mitigated negative declaration including the mitigation monitoring and reporting program Was adopted by the city of santa rosa planning commission on january 14th 2021 And as there are no issues all issues have been addressed during the planning commission of public hearing on january 14th With that Planning and economic development department recommends that the zoning administrator approved the minor design review for a 4000 square foot retail restaurant With drive through drive through facility Located at 2532 santa rosa avenue and 325 yolanda avenue file number dr 18083 Staff is available for questions and comments Thank you christen a Does the applicant have a presentation or would they like to make any comments? Thank you. Amy. Can you guys hear me? Okay? Yes christen did my power point make it to you and is it possible to Have that queued up for me Yes, getting it rolling. Just one moment, please Does that look right? That's slide number one. Thank you So, uh, I'll probably repeat a couple things that christen said, but it'll be very brief. I promise and painless So i want to say good morning to uh to you. Amy To city staff and any members of the santa rosa community who might be listening or participating in this meeting My name is jim lockington and i'm in out burgers manager of new store development i'm very happy to be given this opportunity to provide you some information And to advocate for your approval of the design of our proposed second restaurant in the city of santa rosa Located at 2532 santa rosa avenue As christen mentioned the city of santa rosa planning commission took action on january 14 2020 And they unanimously approved the proposed inverter site plan the c up And the mitigated negative declaration The site plan that's on the screen now is just a very simplified version of the approved site plan Could we go to the next slide, please? So the next slide is a couple photos of our first store in santa rosa That store was opened on october 28 2010 And it's located at 21 31 county center drive It opened as store number 249 in our chain and for reference over The last 10 years opening stores we now Opened our latest store number 363 in lone tree colorado We're now in six states, but california or excuse me seven states, but california Is and always will be our home state Uh, can we go to the next slide, please? the slide shows the proposed colors and materials for the proposed new store And if we could go to the next slide, please and the next So these two slides show the four side elevations Of the proposed new restaurant All the materials and colors are called out in detailed construction notes The building heights are detailed and the maximum building height is 23 feet If we could go to the next and final slide This slide's a 3d rendering of the front of the store as it would be seen from the santa rosa avenue public sidewalk And as you can see the proposed new store is similar to the original santa rosa store However, we have taken care to ensure that it is architecturally superior to the original store in several ways First the towers on the proposed new store are shorter And more architecturally proportional to the building Second the corbel detail at the top of the flat roof parapet terminations is more pronounced and architecturally appealing And third the building has a wanes coat on all four sides of off-white ledge stone veneer Which provides a solid architectural foundation That concludes my remarks. Thank you. I'm happy to answer any questions that the zoning administrator or staff may have And I hope that you follow the staff recommendation to approve our design. Thank you Thank you so much One question that I have relates to any sort of mechanical equipment. So in the renderings it doesn't look like I don't see any mechanical screening. I'm just wondering if That's part of the plan or if the parapets are able to conceal any sort of mechanical equipment Yeah, excellent question If you want we could go back to any of the 2d elevations for reference, but I can answer the question very simply the the flat roof above the store Is really well hidden by the parapet walls the parapet walls are about six foot. So Most people even if you climb up the ladder to the roof wall all the equipment is You you can't even see over the top of the parapet unless you're over six feet tall So it's very very effective at screening the equipment, you know, just you're not going to see them unless you're In a two-store building next door in a helicopter airplane Okay, great. Thank you for that And then I just wanted to make sure in the resolution looks like there was an added condition to install a stop bar that you Are aware of that condition and you accept that It looks like most of the other conditions are carried forward from the planning commission resolution Yes, yeah, that's not a problem. That was something that was discussed at planning commission And we've already gotten the process of adding it to our plans Great. Okay All right. Well just reviewing the resolution recommending approval for minor design review I I can make all of the findings. I agree that there's visual interest and human-scaled elements and so I it it certainly meets our design guidelines I appreciate all the landscaping and the trees and the parking lot that follow our orchard style parking requirements and the landscaping along the drive-through area as well Are there any members of the public who would like to provide comments on this item If you would like to participate by zoom you can use the raise hand feature if you're calling in you can press star 9 Okay, I am not seeing any hands raised. So with that I will close the public meeting portion of the item And so again, thank you. I appreciate The work that you put into this project and also how you worked through Some items with the planning commission meeting and have added that stop bar condition as well So I will be approving the project And that concludes item 3.1 Thank you.

This is a hillside development permit For three or I'm sorry for 40 34 Tourmaline court This is for the construction of a new swimming pool and raised decks On a site that exceeds a 10 grade and we have christin a again as our project planner Thank you zoning administrator christin a to means again senior planner.

So it sounds like there are roll-up doors that are installed and I guess just to add to that Are the roll-up doors large enough so that the trucks are able to kind of back into the building Or is that kind of loading and unloading something that would occur in the the parking area? One sec. Let me check with the correspondence I had with the applicant this morning Great, and if the applicant wants to answer that too, that's fine Thanks connor um, it looks like that wasn't included in the correspondence this morning, but The applicant does have their hand raised so they are willing to Be elevated for speaking permissions Great, thank you The applicant is duke Duke it looks like you're unmuted unless You're having trouble with your sound.

Uh, can you can you hear me now? Yes, we can Oh excellent. Um, yes, but uh, my name is uh Duke Lang the i'm the owner of the property and the general contractor um, this The roll-up door could pull into unload would probably just pull up to the roll-up door and be Forklift unloaded Not not a lot of equipment.

I think that's it for my questions I appreciate you being available Sure Connor thank you for um Adding in another sequel exemption. I agree that the the class one exemption is a good fit for this existing building and the proposed use I Realized that a minor conditional use permit is required By the zoning code because there are Residential uses adjacent but I based on the the street layout and also the distance To the residential neighborhood to the north I don't have any concerns of any impact from noise Or light or or traffic circulation To that area and I appreciate your your strong findings in the resolution So with that I will approve the project Thank you for Presenting and to the applicant for being available for questions Um, and that is the last item on our agenda today So thank you all for attending and I will bring the meeting to close today at 11 12
