Planned Community Professional/Specific Plan No. 4
A Negative Declaration was previously approved for
the project
Site and architectural review of proposed office
Background &Oiscusston
On November 28, 1983, the Planning Commission approved Variance 83-9 for
Lewis. Properties, Inc., authorizing construction of an office building at
14772 Plaza Drive. Lewis Properties intends to use the office as their
corporate headquarters.
Variance 83-9 granted minor deviations from the front and side yard
setback requirements of' Specific Plan No. 4. The subject property is
within the boundaries of the Town Center Redevelopment Area.
Site Analysts
The site is the last undeveloped parcel on Plaza Drive just north of Irvine
Boulevard. The proposal as apprqved by the Planning Commission permits a
2'-6" encroachment of the building into the 20-foot front setback near the
northwest corner of the site. Also, architectural columns along ~he
northern elevation would be placed 2'-6" into the lO-foot side yard
setback. Both of these deviations from Specific Plan No. 4 are considered
minor.
Other projects along. Plaza Drive have been constructed with setbacks
.similar to those approved to the subject proposal. As approved, the
project meets all other requirements of Specific Plan No. 4. The parking
spaces provided are all at-grade and open.
Architectural Design
As proposed, the two-story, 29'-6" building will be constructed with an
exterior consisting of a light gray stucco, with a darker gray accenting
wood shingle roof. When viewed from the western elevation, the roof slopes
from the top of the building to a point 11'-6" above the ground; giving the
appearance of a building lower than 29'-6".

When considering the materials used and the design, this project is
compatible with the other structures in the immediate area and would be a
positive addition within the Town Center Redevelopment Project Area.
Recommendation
That Resolution No. RDA 83-8 be adopted affirming Planning Commission
approval of Variance 83-9.
