7-Community Comments
Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The project includes the construction of a skills training and community-serving center and site improvements on a vacant 2.2-acre site. A majority of the site (approximately 2 acres) is currently zoned Limited Commercial (C-1). Two smaller parcels totaling approximately 0.2 acres are zoned Single-Unit Dwelling (R-1). Since commercial facilities are not allowed within the R-1 zone, a rezone is required to construct the proposed skills training and community service center at the site.

Other necessary entitlement approvals include Conditional Use Permits for a non-profit organization involved in food preparation for off-site consumption, meal service, food storage and distribution, as well as a Site Plan and Design Review entitlement for review of the proposed buildings and site layout.

The programming offered at La Familia Opportunity Center site is anticipated to include:
· Training and Career Center (including culinary skills training) · Parenting workshops and support groups (including School Readiness activities), Early Learners, and other activities to strengthen families
· Mental health services
· A satellite health clinic
· Community health services, such as workshops and preventive screenings · Youth programs including youth groups, homework club, girl scouts, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)
· Older Adult programs
· Occasional community events
· Other community supportive services
La Familia hopes to construct the entire site at the outset but, with consideration of financial capabilities, may phase the construction and operation into two parts. Phase 1 would include the Training Center and site improvements, and phase 2 would include the two-story Programs building.

An Interim Landscape Plan within Attachment 5 shows the Phase 1 layout, including a lawn and pedestrian pathway where the future Programs building will be located.

Section 17.808.230 of Title 17 requires rezones to be heard at the City Council, and section

17.808.310 requires all associated project entitlements to be heard at the highest level required for the project. Therefore, the requested Rezone, Conditional Use Permit, and Site Plan and Design Review entitlements are required to be reviewed and decided at the City Council level.

Public/Neighborhood Outreach and Comments: As part of the application review process, the proposal was routed to the Franklin Boulevard Business Association, Region Builders, Civic Thread, Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates, Environmental Council of Sacramento, the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District, and Preservation Sacramento.

Staff received community correspondence from Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates (SABA), Civic Thread, and the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District. Both SABA and Civic Thread provided letters of project support and made note that 1) the project will provide needed services to area residents, reducing travel distance to those services and encouraging active

transportation, and 2) the project design includes quality crossings with curb protection for pedestrians.

Project recommendations within the letters included the following:
· Increase the number of bicycle facilities and locate racks at entrance points to both buildings.

Staff response: The plans were revised to provide additional bicycle facilities and at entrance points to each building.
· Locate the buildings closer to the street with vehicle parking behind the buildings for more direct pedestrian access.

Staff response: Planning staff also considered this during early project review but ultimately believes the proposed design provides quality pedestrian infrastructure and connectivity to the external sidewalk system, including a 25-foot-wide pedestrian connection between Franklin Blvd. to the center of the site, and direct pathways with a significant amount of curb protection from both 37th and 38th Avenues. Additionally, the proposed parking layout further separates vehicle noise and lighting from existing adjacent residences.

Staff mailed hearing notices to all property owners and occupants within 500 feet of the project site and posted the site prior to the public hearing.

Policy Considerations: The primary General Plan designation for the subject site is Suburban Corridor. Sacramento’s suburban corridors are envisioned as auto-oriented, moderate-density retail, office, and residential corridors that support surrounding neighborhoods. A small portion of the site is designated Traditional Neighborhood Low Density (TNLD), which allows for neighborhood compatible quasi-public and special uses. In the context of the General Plan, staff considers La Familia to be a neighborhood compatible special use and therefore consistent with the Suburban Corridor and TNLD designations.

Staff finds that the project is consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies:

Goal LU 1.1 Growth and Change. Support sustainable growth and change through orderly and well-planned development that provides for the needs of existing and future residents and businesses, ensures the effective and equitable provision of public services, and makes efficient use of land and infrastructure.
· Policy LU 1.1.4 Leading Infill Growth. The City shall facilitate infill development through active leadership and the strategic provision of infrastructure and services and supporting land uses. · Policy LU 1.1.5 Infill Development. The City shall promote and provide incentives (e.g., focused infill planning, zoning/rezoning, revised regulations, provision of infrastructure) for infill development, reuse, and growth in existing urbanized areas to enhance community character, optimize City investments in infrastructure and community facilities, support increased transit

use, promote pedestrian and bicycle-friendly neighborhoods, increase housing diversity, ensure integrity of historic districts, and enhance retail viability.

Staff response: Approval of the proposed rezone and associated entitlements would facilitate development of a long vacant urban infill site with a community-oriented facility offering beneficial health, medical, and employment services to the surrounding neighborhoods. The project’s location within an established residential area will allow residents nearby access to needed services without the need for vehicle transportation.

Goal LU 2.8 City Fair and Equitable. Ensure fair and equitable access for all citizens to employment, housing, education, recreation, transportation, retail, and public services, including participation in public planning for the future.
· Policy LU 2.8.1 Equitable Distribution of Uses and Amenities. The City shall strive to ensure that desirable uses and neighborhood amenities are distributed equitably throughout the city. · Policy LU 2.8.6 Jobs-Housing Balance. The City shall encourage a balance between job type, the workforce, and housing development to reduce the negative impacts of long commutes and provide a range of employment opportunities for all city residents.

Staff response: The project would create an accessible, desirable community amenity, provide nearby job opportunities for residents, and facilitate general employment throughout the city through on-site career training opportunities.

Goal LU 4.1 Neighborhoods. Promote the development and preservation of neighborhoods that provide a variety of housing types, densities, and designs and a mix of uses and services that address the diverse needs of Sacramento residents of all ages, socio-economic groups, and abilities.
· Policy LU 4.1.2 Neighborhood Amenities. The City shall encourage appropriately scaled community-supportive facilities and services within all neighborhoods to enhance neighborhood identity and provide convenient access within walking and biking distance of city residents.

Goal LU 4.2 Suburban Neighborhoods. Encourage the creation of more complete and well- designed suburban neighborhoods that provide a variety of housing choices and mix of uses that encourage walking and biking.
· Policy LU 4.2.1 Enhanced Walking and Biking. The City shall pursue opportunities to promote walking and biking in existing suburban neighborhoods through improvements such as:

Page 4 of 9 ends

File ID: 2023-01473 11/14/2023 Consent Item 45.
o Introducing new pedestrian and bicycle connections
o Adding bike lanes and designating and signing bike routes o Narrowing streets where they are overly wide
o Introducing planting strips and street trees between the curb and sidewalk Staff response: The proposed La Familia Opportunity Center would provide convenient access to needed services of nearby residents within walkable and bikeable range of multiple South Sacramento neighborhoods and establish itself as an identifiable community asset and place.

Forthcoming improvements to Franklin Boulevard as part of the City-adopted Franklin Boulevard Complete Street Plan will enhance walking and biking access to and from the site with vehicle lane reductions and buffered bike lanes. Site improvements as part of the La Familia project would add large-canopy trees adjacent to the Franklin Boulevard sidewalk, shading pedestrians.

Goal LU 6.1 Corridors. Support the development of major circulation corridors that balance their vehicular function with a vibrant mix of uses that contribute to meeting local and citywide needs for retail, services, and housing and provide pedestrian-friendly environments that serve as gathering places for adjacent neighborhoods.
· Policy LU 6.1.1 Mixed-Use Corridors. The City shall create or improve mixed-use corridors by requiring compact development patterns that are oriented to and frame the street, establish a safe and comfortable environment for walking, and avoid encroachment upon adjacent residential areas.
· Policy LU 6.1.3 Efficient Parcel Utilization. The City shall promote the aggregation of small and irregular shaped parcels along corridors into larger development sites to facilitate their reuse. · Policy LU 6.1.9 Enhanced Pedestrian Environment. The City shall require that sidewalks along mixed-use corridors are wide enough to accommodate significant pedestrian traffic and promote the transformation of existing automobile-dominated corridors into boulevards that are attractive, comfortable, and safe for pedestrians by incorporating the following:
o Few curb cuts and driveways
o Enhanced pedestrian crossings
o Building entrances oriented to the street
o Street trees
Staff response: The proposed project implements goals and policies for Corridors in that the project 1) aggregates small and irregular parcels to facilitate a use, 2) utilizes limited curb cuts and driveways, 3) provides quality pedestrian crossings, and 4) beautifies the public view and shades the pedestrian realm with street-adjacent trees.

Goal LU 8.1 Public / Quasi-Public. Provide for governmental, utility, institutional, educational, cultural, religious, and social facilities and services that are located and designed to complement Sacramento’s neighborhoods, centers, and corridors and to minimize incompatibility with neighborhoods and other sensitive uses.
· Policy LU 8.1.1 Public Places. The City shall create vibrant public places in Sacramento’s neighborhoods, centers, and corridors that serve as gathering places. · Policy LU 8.1.2 Adequate Community Supporting Uses. The City shall seek to ensure that all manner of public and private community-supportive facilities and services are located throughout the city to provide places that serve the varied needs of the community, provide for community meeting places, and provide community and neighborhood landmark buildings and places.

Staff response: The proposed Opportunity Center would create a neighborhood landmark building and provide a place for community gathering and assistance.

Goal PHS 5.1.1 Human Services and Healthy Communities. Improve the provision of human services and promote public health and safety.
· Policy PHS 5.1.9 Healthy Communities. The City shall encourage the planning of new communities and revitalization of existing urban areas to achieve improvements in overall public health by encouraging a healthier living environment that includes walkable neighborhoods, access to recreation and open space, healthy foods, medical services, and public transit.

Staff response: The proposed project provides health, medical, and employment services within a residential area that can be easily accessed by walking and biking.

South Area Community Plan Area: The South Area Community Plan includes policies derived from extensive public input and previous relevant South Area plans and studies. These policies are specific to the South Area and intended to supplement citywide policies. Staff finds that the proposed project is compatible with the South Area Community Plan and helps implement the following Economic Development policies within the plan related to increased employment opportunities, career training, and health services for area residents. · Policy SA.ED 1.1 Health Care Investment and Real Estate Growth. The City shall actively support spin-off investments and medical-service real estate growth and expansion related to Kaiser Permanente, Catholic Healthcare West, and any affiliated providers to increase employment opportunities and health services in the South Area in accordance with their long- range plans.

Page 6 of 9 ends

File ID: 2023-01473 11/14/2023 Consent Item 45.
· Policy SA.ED 1.2 Health Care Employee Training and Job Growth. The City shall work with the major health care providers in the South Area and with Cosumnes River College to develop employee training and job growth programs in the health care industry to assist in the creation of more employment opportunities for South Area residents.

Economic Impacts: The La Familia Opportunity Center project is anticipated to provide 10-15 new jobs (including mental health clinicians, job coaches, youth workers and administrative staff) within the organization, plus on-site job training to residents of South Sacramento in the areas of health, service, and green jobs. This would include community health worker training, other entry level health careers, solar installation training and placement, manufacturing, and EV repair. It is expected that the project will facilitate increased employment opportunities within the city of Sacramento.

Environmental Considerations: The applicant seeks to construct and operate a ±25,000 square foot vocational skills training and community service center on a ±2.2-acre vacant site immediately west of Franklin Blvd. between 37th and 38th Avenues in the Limited Commercial (C-1-R-EA-4) and Single-Unit Residential (R-1-EA-4) zones. The request requires a rezone of two parcels from R-1-EA- 4 to C-1- R-EA-4, Conditional Use Permits for a non-profit organization use involving meal service, food preparation for off-site consumption, food storage and distribution, and assembly use, and Site Plan and Design Review for building and site construction.

For the part of the project that falls within the C-1-R-EA-4 zone, the project meets the requirements for an exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as infill development described in CEQA Guidelines section 15332. The project satisfies the following requirements:
n The project is consistent with the general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations; n The project site is within the city limits, is no more than five acres is size, and is surrounded by urban uses;
n The site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; n Approval of the project would result in no significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality; and
n The site can be adequately served by all required public utilities and services.

The entirety of the project, however, including the part that falls within the R-1-EA-4 zone, is consistent with CEQA’s “common-sense exemption” - CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), which exempts projects where it can be seen with certainty that the project would have no significant effect on the environment.

See Attachment 7 to this staff report for a memorandum that generally covers issue areas of concern in the CEQA process, and which provides substantial evidence that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment.

File ID: 2023-01473 11/14/2023 Consent Item 45.

Based on the substantial evidence in the record, staff has determined that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment, and that the project is exempt from CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3).In addition, environmental review staff have reviewed the project to determine whether it would result in any significant effects or would have cumulative effects that have not been identified and evaluated in the City’s Master EIR. There are none. The project would facilitate infill development that provides many convenient and beneficial services to the community. Additionally, the project would promote active transportation, and the change that could be allowed by the requested zoning change would not affect the analysis and conclusions in the Master EIR. Staff have identified no significant effects that would otherwise result from project approval.
200-Year Flood Protection: State Law (SB 5) and Planning and Development Code chapter 17.810 require that the City must make specific findings prior to approving certain entitlements for projects within a flood hazard zone. The purpose is to ensure that new developments will have protection from a 200-year flood event or will achieve that protection by 2025. The project site is within a flood hazard zone and is an area covered by SAFCA’s Improvements to the State Plan of Flood Control System, and specific findings related to the level of protection have been incorporated as part of this project. Even though the project site is within a flood hazard zone, the local flood management agency, SAFCA, has made adequate progress on the construction of a flood protection system that will ensure protection from a 200-year flood event or will achieve that protection by 2025. This is based on the SAFCA Urban level of flood protection plan, adequate progress baseline report, and adequate progress toward an urban level of flood protection engineer’s report that were accepted by City Council Resolution No. 2016-0226 on June 21, 2016 and the SAFCA 2022 Adequate Progress Annual Report accepted by City Council Resolution No. 2022-0313 on October 11, 2022.

No net loss findings (Gov. Code, § 65584): This project includes a 0.57-acre parcel (025-0231-018- 0000) which is located on a site listed in the 2021-2029 RHNA Housing Element Sites Inventory, which anticipates 6 total units of lower income housing. This project proposes no housing units. As of July 21, 2023, the lower income capacity on remaining sites identified in the Housing Element is 15,557, which is adequate to meet the jurisdictions remaining low income RHNA of 14,614 for the 2021-2029 planning period. As the remaining sites identified in the Housing Element are adequate to meet the requirements of Section 65583.2 of the California Government Code and to accommodate the City’s share of the regional housing need pursuant to Section 65584, this project is consistent with the Housing Element.

Sustainability: The proposed development will ensure energy consumption is minimized and use of renewable energy sources is encouraged in that the project will be located at an urban infill site and provide services to nearby existing neighborhoods, allowing for walking and bicycling access and shorter travel distances to services.

Commission/Committee Action: On October 26, 2023, the Planning and Design Commission held a public hearing on the project and passed a motion to forward a recommendation of approval to City Council to adopt the ordinance and resolution approving the La Familia Opportunity Center project.

Financial Consideration: None.

Local Business Enterprise (LBE): None.

Rationale for Recommendation: Staff supports the La Familia Opportunity Center project since it will 1) provide conveniently accessible health, medical, and employment services to city residents, 2) generate new jobs on-site, and help to facilitate general employment within the city, 3) create an identifiable community place and asset, and 4) make use of a long-term vacant urban site.

Staff recommends the City Council approve the requested entitlements based on the rationale above and the findings of fact, and subject to the conditions listed within Attachment 4.

Background Information
The applicant proposes to construct and operate a 25,000 square foot vocational skills training and community service facility on a vacant 2.2-acre site at 5900 Frank lin Boulevard between 37th and 38th Avenues. The subject site is encompassed by St. Patrick Academy across Franklin Boulevard, La Familia’s Maple Neighborhood Center across 37th Street, and otherwise generally by neighborhood residential development.

According to historic aerial imagery, t wo of the seven on-site parcels were previously developed with dwelling units circa the 19 50s. The dwellings were removed between 2010 and 2020. Much of the site has never been developed. It is currently entirely vacant.

The programming offered at La Familia Opportunity Center si te is anticipated to include employment and career training, parenting workshops, mental health services, a satellite health clinic, community health services such as workshops and preventative screenings, youth programs, older adult programs, and other community support services.

La Familia hopes to construct the entire site at once but may phase the construction and operation into two parts pending funding. Phase 1 would include the Training Center and site improvements, and phase 2 , the Programs building. An Interim Landscape Plan within Attachment 5 shows a potential Phase 1 layout, including a lawn and pedestrian pathway where the future Programs building would eventually be located.

Requested entitlements to complete the project i nclude a Rezone, Conditional Use Permits, and Site Plan and Design Review. Because the project involves a rezone request, all project entitlements require final approval from City Council.

Entitlement Review
Rezone (R-1-EA-4 to C-1-EA-4)
Approximately 2 acres of the ±2.2 -acre site are zoned Limited Commercial (C -1). Two small parcels totaling ±0.2 -acres at the interior side of 37 th Avenue have a Single -Unit Dwelling (R-1) zoning designation. Since commercial building sites are not allowed within the R -1 zone, the applicant is requesting to rezone these parcels to C -1 to allow the Opportunity Center project to be constructed.

Figure 3: Rezone Exhibit

The subject site is in the Executive Airport Overlay “overflight safety (EA-4)” zone as designated by city code and the Executive Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP). City code and the CLUP permit the proposed use within this zoning designation.

The purpose of the C-1 zone is to provide for certain offices, retail stores, and commercial service establishments that are compatible with residential developments.

Section 17.808.230.C.1.D of Title 17 requires the following findings be met to approve a rezone:

1. The rezoning is consistent with the applicable general plan designation, use, and development standards; the goals, policies, or other provisions of the general plan; and any applicable specific plan.

2. The amendment promotes the public health, safety, convenience, and welfare of the City.

Staff believes the proposed rezone meets these findings because the project addresses General Plan infill goals and policies by providing for infill development on vacant property with uses that are compatible and that provide beneficial services to the surrounding area.

The rezone would facilitate the construction and operation of a quasi -public neighborhood-serving facility, which is consistent with the allowed uses of the Traditional Neighborhood Low Density designation as stated within the General Plan. The proposed project also complies with lot size and dimension development standards of the C-1 zone.

Furthermore, the project promotes the public health, safety, convenience, and welfare of the City by providing city residents with convenient access to health, medical, and employment services.

Conditional Use Permits (CUPs)
Non-profit organizations involved with on-site meal service, food preparation for off-site consumption, and food storage and distribution uses are all permitted uses within the General Commercial (C-1) zone with the support of Conditional Use Permits.

La Familia does not anticipate serving meals on a regular basis and that most meals served would be purchased or prepared off-site. The site will not be a food bank and would only act as a satellite food bank, if needed during an emergency.

La Familia anticipates the following food-related and assembly-related operations which relate to the requested Conditional Use Permits:
 Partnering with food cart vendors and renting them kitchen space to prepare food (including training programs for vendors seeking a license)  Meal service for occasional on-site events
 Meals on Wheels food service to seniors who are participating in group activities  Short-term storage of food as a resiliency center – mostly non-perishables (water, canned food) in case of local or national emergency The decision-makers must make the following findings to approve the CUPs:

1. The proposed use and its operating characteristics are consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan land use designations of Suburban Corridor and Traditional Neighborhood Low Density, and with any applicable specific plan or transit village plan.

2. The proposed use and its operating characteristics are consistent with the applicable standards, requirements, and regulations of the General Commercial (C-1) zone, and of all other provisions of this title and this code.

3. The proposed use is situated on a parcel that is physically suitable in terms of location, size, topography, and access, and that is adequately served by public services and utilities.

4. The proposed use and its operating characteristics are not detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare of persons residing, working, visiting, or recreating in the surrounding neighborhood and will not result in the creation of a nuisance.

Staff supports granting the Conditional Use Permits and believes the project meets the above findings since: 1) the project will provide services that support city neighborhoods, 2) the proposed uses and operations are permitted within the C-1 zone with approvals of Conditional Use Permits, 3) the project has been reviewed by City Departments including Public Works and Utilities to ensure compliance with standards, and 4) the proposed uses support the health, convenience, and welfare of the community through beneficial social, health, medical, employment and general community-oriented programming.

Site Access
Vehicular ingress and egress would occur at one driveway located at 37 th Avenue, and one driveway located at 38th Avenue. No driveways are proposed along the Franklin Blvd. frontage. Pedestrian walkways are located along both 37 th and 38th Avenues as well as Franklin Blvd. These connect directly to the on -site buildings via enhanced crosswalks.

The main entrance at Franklin Blvd. includes a 25-foot-wide pedestrian walkway into the center of the site. As part of proposed project conditions o f approval, all pedestrian entrance gates shall remain open during business hours, and all on-site crosswalks shall be enhanced with differentiating surface textures and color to increase pedestrian safety.

Parking
The project site is located within an AB 2097 area, meaning that it is within one half-mile from a major transit stop (47th Avenue light rail station) and no minimum parking standards may be imposed , absent findings supported by a preponderance of evidence that not imposing minimum parking would cause a substantially negative impact.

As designed, the project provides 84 vehicle parking spaces including 17 Electric Vehicle Capable Spaces, 4 Installed Electric Vehicle charging spaces, and 4 accessible spaces.

Per requirements within the Traditional Parking District bicycle parking district, the project requires a minimum of 2 short-term bicycle spaces (1 space per 20,000 square feet of building or 2 spaces, whichever is greater) and 4 long-term bicycle spaces (1 space per 6,667 square feet of building or 2 spaces, whichever is greater ). Sixteen short-term bicycle parking spaces are provided, and 7 long-term bicycle parking spaces are provided. Bicycle parking is conveniently sited near the entrances of each building.

Compatibility with Commercial Design Guidelines
The City’s Commercial Design Guidelines serve to encourage high -quality development and protect and enhance property values and community economic viability. These guidelines address the exterior of buildings, as well as the relationship of these buildings to the surrounding built environment. It is necessary to ensure that the design complements the community setting and contributes to the public realm. Commercial buildings should be visually welcoming and constructed of high-quality materials that will contribute to their longevity and role in the community. This project has been reviewed with these guidelines in mind. Additionally, this project is evaluated for consistency with the development standards of the Limited Commercial (C-1) zone as detailed in Table 2 above.

Staff finds the proposed project compatible with applicable Commercial Design Guidelines including the following examples:

Circulation of Cars, Trucks, Pedestrians, and Bicycles: Balanced circulation routes must be provided for both vehicular and pedestrian movement with a priority to pedestrians and bicyclists. Conflict between all modes of transportation should be minimized, and convenience to pedestrians should be maximized.

Pedestrian Circulation:
 Pedestrian routes should be obvious, direct, and simple.  Pedestrian walkways should connect each primary entrance of a commercial building to adjacent parking lots and public sidewalks.  Separate pedestrian and vehicular entries. Employ changes in grade, color, texture, material, color, and/or finish to differentiate pedestrian access from driveways.
 Locate bicycle parking close to and with direct access to buildings.

Vehicle Circulation:
 Consolidate driveways, parking lots, and access routes wherever feasible to limit curb cuts, minimize development costs, and reduce auto/pedestrian conflicts.

Minimize curb cuts to reduce impacts to pedestrians, cyclists and on -street parking.
 Provide access to parking lots from side streets.
 If gates are used to secure vehicle or par king areas, treat them as a design element.

Staff Response: Pedestrian routes are obvious and lead directly to building entrances from each surrounding street. Bicycle parking is sited near the entrances of each building.

Only t wo driveways , each from secondary streets , serve the site. The primary street entrance on Franklin Blvd. is solely for pedestrians. Furthermore, fencing incorporates into the site and building design since it 1) is set back with landscaping in front of it, 2) is painted mostly in a muted grey tone, and 3) uses coloring to relate to the building accents.

Figure 4: Pedestrian Entrance at Franklin Blvd.

Streetscape/Pedestrian Edges: Incorporate design elements that soften the edges between the street and individual properties , to provide a people -oriented scale and character.

Staff response: Attractive landscape planting and large trees soften the perimeter of the development and add a comfortable and inviting scale and appearance.

Figure 4: Site Rendering

Site Amenities: Projects must be designed whenever feasible to maximize opportunities for creating usable, attractive, and integrated public spaces and site amenities.

Staff Response: The site offers a spacious area for people to sit, eat, and walk outside and provides designated food cart/trailer parking, tables, chairs, benches, landscaping, and wide walking paths.

Entry Features: Entry features should be clearly visible to pedestrians, approaching from street and sidewalk. Locate primary entries on major sidewalks to provide clearly visible pedestrian access.

Staff response: A large, distinguished pathway guides pedestrians to the central entrance from the primary street.

Materials: Buildings should be constructed of durabl e materials that will promote the longevity of the structure and provide a pleasing appearance as the materials age.

Staff response: The design presents quality and durable exterior materials including painted stucco, fiber cement panels, metal panels, anodized aluminum storefront system, and colorful decorative tile.

Equipment/Services/Accessory Structures: Service elements and infrastructure such as trash enclosures, loading docks, storage, and mechan ical equipment must be screened from street views and integrated into the design to make it as unobtrusive as possible.

Staff response: The trash enclosure is located at the rear of the Training Center building away from pedestrian areas and generally outside of views from both within the site and from public streets.
