CityCouncil | 2005-11-01 | 3 | (05-524) ) Public Hearing to accept new, revised preliminary designs for the cineplex and a 352-space parking structure at the corner of Oak Street and Central Avenue, within the C-C T (Community Commercial Theater) Zoning District. The Development Services Director gave a brief presentation on the project. Mr. Towey with Komorous-Towey Architects gave a Power Point presentation. Councilmember deHaan stated there are seven parking levels; inquired whether the elevator tower reached up to the seventh level. The Architect responded in the negative; stated the previous and current designs are the same; the seventh level was extended to make up for some lost spaces. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the highest peak would be the elevator tower and whether the roof level was now 70 feet. The Architect responded that the top of the elevator tower was the highest point. Councilmember deHaan stated that the canopies look industrial ; inquired whether other options were considered. The Architect responded that the industrial nature of the canopies could be valid, depending on execution; the historical period being evaluated had very flat and thin awnings many were roll out awnings; the intention is to keep the metal very flat and thin as opposed to having a sloping top; the corrugated metal would not be visible; the canopies could be executed to look finished. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether there was another design which could pull back the 20 inch protrusion. The Architect responded that the previous design studied what would occur if the protrusion had to be pulled back; twenty-five seats and a few feet off one of the screen's sides would be lost; his charge was to work with the approved floor plans. Mayor Johnson opened the public portion of the hearing.
