The plan calls for the construction of a 29,000 sq. ft. (28,500 sq. ft. net) office building with accompanying parking area to the rear of the lot. The development satisfies the design criteria of the district. The struc- ture is set back the required fifteen (15) feet from the arterial highway, however, the architect is proposing the inclusion of fourteen (14) foot high brick planters three (3) feet into the setback area. Similar exten- sions into setbacks such as eaves, canopies, chimneys, etc., are authorized in the zoning code. These planters do not form any structural support function to the building. Staff believes the architectural style is appropriate to the area. The strong horizontal influence of the parapet eave and window frames help to "visually" reduce the height. The Fire Code requires that this building be provided with a fire sprinkler system and full street improvements will be required. This report is for the Agency's information and no action is required.
