CASES CASE NO. 149 C - RURAL STORES, INC. , c/o JOHN OUTCAULT - Preliminary approval of plans for a 7,106 square foot commercial building. John Outcault was present. Mr. Smith advised the Board that revised plans have been submitted which included the following changes: 1 . Reduction in building size. 2. Creation of a row of parking spaces adjacent to the alley at the rear. The plan is now in conformity with the parking requirements and the size of the parking spaces conform. The amount of landscaping and the distribution on the site is still not in accordance with the Code requirements. The Board was then shown a revised site plan prepared by Staff, which delineated additional landscaping in the interior of the parking lot. John Outcault told the Board he concurred with the suggested site plan revision with the new landscape strip to be located on either side of the middle parking spaces. In response to a question, Mr. Outcault said that a parapet wall could be constructed to run east-west at the south portion of the roof where the building steps up. This would shield the roof equipment from view from the north. On a motion by Jackson, seconded by Barton, the Board approved this requested application for preliminary approval of a 7,106 square foot com- mercial building, subject to the following conditions: 1 . Construction plans shall be submitted for approval to the City Fire Marshal prior to issuance of building permits. All conditions shall be made a part of construction and no certificate of occupancy shall be issued until completed. 2. Final construction drawings, including a final landscaping, grading, lighting, amenities, trash storage, walkway layout, irrigation plans and sign program shall be submitted to the Design Review Board. No final inspection or occupancy permit shall be given by the Depart- ment of Environmental Services to this project until the afore- mentioned approved plans and construction shall have been completed.

CASE NO. 150 C - ROMEO PULUQI and GEORGE RITTER & ASSOCIATES - Preliminary and final approval of plans for an addition to a restaurant at 73-340 Highway 111 . George Ritter was present. Mr. Smith highlighted the salient points from the staff report. Mr. Ritter advised the Board that the existing parking lot will be brought up to code although the number of spaces will be deficient for a restaurant of this total size. In response to questions from the Board, Mr. Ritter said no parking lot lighting was proposed to be installed and that irri- gation of the new landscaping will be tied into the existing irrigation system. Mr. Ritter requested that Condition No. 5 be deleted. He said that other buildings in the area have not screened the roof equipment from view from the rear and no new roof equipment is being proposed. The Chairman explained that it was the Board's desire to alleviate these unsightly situations as the buildings are improved. On a motion by Holden, seconded by Jackson, the Board approved application 150 C subject to the following conditions: 1 . That the applicant receive approval of necessary CUP. 2. That the applicant enter into the necessary agreement to consolidate the two lots which make up the subject property. 3. That the applicant submit for the approval of staff a suitable lighting plan for the parking lot and a suitable irrigation plan for the land- scape areas. 4. Construction plans shall be submitted for approval to the City Fire Marshal prior to issuance of building permits. All conditions shall be made a part of construction and no certificate of occupancy shall be issued until completed. 5. That the existing roof equipment visible from the rear of the building be screened as a part of the remodeling. 6. Power pole/guy wires be relocated so that aisle is not blocked, if necessary. Motion carried 4-0. PAGE THREE MINUTES DESIGN REVIEW BOARD JUNE 23, 1981 IV. DISCUSSION ITEMS CASE NO. 92 C - DAI SHOGUN OF JAPAN Mr. Sawa showed the Board revised plans for screening the roof equipment at the restaurant. It was the concensus of the Board that the revised plans were acceptable. AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT Jim Delaney was present and advised the Board that it was his intention to develop property in the City with affordable housing. New construction methods utilized in Florida, would be used here to speed up the building process. A detailed presentation of this construction method, using poured concrete walls was described. The Board indicated a favorable feeling toward the method, provided that suitable revisions to the finished product could be incorporated to miti- gate against desert conditions (ie:suitable shading of windows, proper unit orientation) .
