CityCouncil | 2005-08-16 | 23 | are a condition to have the façade treatment on the Oak Street portion of the parking structure provide vertical elements similar to the ones presented by AAPS and a condition to have the treatment of the Central Avenue façade of the Cineplex provide a less modern treatment of the window in between the historic theater and the corner portion of the Cineplex second-story view spot that is curved outwards. Vice Mayor Gilmore stated AAPS presented two pictures. Mayor Johnson requested that the picture be shown. Councilmember Matarrese stated the picture he was referring to was not the garage in Staunton, Virginia. Vice Mayor Gilmore stated the picture was of the garage with openings. The Business Development Division Manager stated the picture is of a garage in Walnut Creek and displayed the picture. Councilmember Matarrese stated the Council direction was to have the [Cineplex] architecture be less modern than original renderings. Mayor Johnson concurred with Councilmember Matarrese. Vice Mayor Gilmore inquired whether Councilmember Matarrese referring to "less modern" applies to the overhang that is on the front of the Cineplex. Councilmember Matarrese responded in the affirmative; stated that he was referring to the glass lobby that is curved. Vice Mayor Gilmore inquired whether Councilmember Matarrese had any direction in defining less modern. Councilmember Matarrese responded squared off with some sloping treatments; however, he is not an architect. the direction should be general : the architect should come back with something less modern for that window specifically and the architect should understand the idea for the parking structure from the picture. Mayor Johnson requested that the colors be more compatible; further requested staff to review the possibility of having the ticket booth out in front to make the historic theater look like it used to look; stated the booth would not have to be useable.
