18641 | President Zuppan stated that with Form-Based Code, if something were to happen, whatever was in that building could come out and something else could go in. She asked if a tenant wanted to replace the window box with a real window, if the boxes are constructed in such a way to allow that. Mr. Carvalho replied that the window boxes are real windows and the boxes can be taken out and used as either a "real window" or as doors. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft asked if the Park Street door will always be a door that is accessible or if that door will serve solely as an emergency exit. Mr. Carvalho replied that Foley Street Investment prefers that as a condition of approval for the use permit, that the two doors remain unlocked and accessible during business hours. President Zuppan clarified that the windows along Park Street can be converted into doors later on if necessary. Mr. Carvalho replied in the affirmative. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft stated that the use and design need to fit the street and since this is a downtown street, pedestrians should be able to see the activity going on inside the business and not business advertisement. Board member Knox White asked if the windows that face the Pacific Street "cut- through" are real or if they are box windows. Mr. Carvalho answered that those are box windows. Board member Knox White asked if the only natural light available in the building is coming through the two doors. Mr. Carvalho replied that natural light is provided by the doors as well as the top of the arched windows. Jamie Keating, Foley Street Investment, encouraged the Board to look at the project is an entire block, starting at the Marketplace and extending down to the new CVS building. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft stated that the drive-through pharmacy window is not a foregone conclusion and the parking circulation would be improved by removing the drive-through. She stated that CASA limits drive through businesses because of exhaust and fumes generated from idling motors. Approved Meeting Minutes Page 8 of 14 May 30, 2012 |
