He said this item was on the previous Planning Commission meeting agenda and continued to this meeting to allow applicant time to provide the exhibits necessary to complete the plan check process. Applicant has now supplied staff with exhibits which satisfy the planning part of the plan check process. This special meeting was called for the purpose of the Planning Commission's review of staffs approval of the Administrative Site & Architectural review of the Hollywood Video store. Mr. Lampe said this store has been vacant for more than two years and staff is anxious to see Hollywood Video occupy the space. The project architect, Russell Stout, was present at the hearing and had a colored site plan showing the existing and proposed landscaping. A sample board showing the river rock veneer to be applied to the building was shown. A colored building elevation and a signage display were also available for review. Mr. Lampe said staff did a survey of local Hollywood Video stores and found an appropriate sign for this project. The sign meets the City's sign criteria. The sign is proposed to be channel -set letters with one line of blue neon outlining the mountain on the sign. Director Materassi said this is a confirmation hearing but if Commission Members see any outstanding issues this would be the time for discussion as the project is in plan check. Chairwoman Van Gelder asked to have Commission Members look at the displayed building and sign plans in addition to the elevations and sample board. Chairwoman Van Gelder asked if staff had addressed the driveways. Director Materassi said this is a remodel, not new construction so providing site access to the corner lot could not be required. Commissioner Wilson said there is an opportunity for the City to work with Hollywood Video to prevent a hazard for motorists exiting the drive aisle from Stater Bros. Market. He said the driveway nearest Hollywood video onto Barton Road was not manufactured correctly so Hollywood Video should not be responsible for repairing it, however, the City should take a look at the driveway in relation to this project from a safety perspective. Director Materassi said the project was reviewed by the City's traffic engineer, and no major issue was raised; however, she will check into it and report back. Commissioner Addington joined the meeting. r= Chairwoman Van Gelder invited applicant to make a statement.
