2. The proposal is consistent with the purposes of Chapter 19.168, the General Plan any specific plan,
zoning ordinances, applicable planned development permit, conditional use permits, variances,
subdivision maps or other entitlements to use which regulate the subject property including, but not
limited to, adherence to the following specific criteria:
a) Abrupt changes in building scale should be avoided . A gradual transition related to height and
bulk should be achieved between new and existing buildings.
The Project avoids abrupt changes and provides a gradual transition by observing the height and setback
requirements within the Heart of the City Specific Plan , and maintains a 1:1 slope line drawn from the
curb line of De Anza Boulevard as specified in the General Plan. Landscape improvements throughout the
Project site will aid in creating a transition between height and bulk between the Project and surrounding
buildings.
b) In order to preserve design harmony between new and existing building and in order to preserve
and enhance property values, the materials, textures and colors of new building should
harmonize with adjacent development by being consistent or compatible with design and color
schemes with the future character of the neighborhoods and purposes of the zone in which they
are situated. The location, height and materials of walls, fencing, hedges and screen planting
should harmonize with adjacent development. Unsightly storage areas, utility installations and
unsightly elements of parking lots should be concealed. The planting of ground cover or various
types of pavements should be used to prevent dust and erosion, and the unnecessary destruction
of existing healthy trees should be avoided. Lighting for development should be adequate to
meet safety requirements as specified by the engineering and building departments, and provide
shielding to prevent spill-over light to adjoining property owners.
The Project has been designed to integrate with adjacent buildings, and to provide an interconnected
commercial and residential space accomplished by :
a) a central plaza that forms a hub, meeting space, and event area
b) corners accented by significant plazas, urban space at the retail components, and a layered softer
landscape at the residential area
c) tall floor heights for commercial spaces that incorporate expansive glass to enhance the quality of
interior spaces and increase the indoor/outdoor activity
d) bold corners composed of interwoven vertical and horizontal elements that create varied massing and
texture.
The building exteriors feature stucco, smooth cementinous panel/score joints/lap siding, metal/metal
frame/vertical metal siding, vinyl/metal windows, aluminum store front , stone veneer, masonry blocks,
aluminum and a rich color pallet to harmonize with adjacent developments and the future character of
neighborhood.
The location, height and materials of walls, fencing hedges and screen plantings have been designed to be
consistent with the development standards of the Heart of th e City Specific Plan . The majority of the parking
areas is located below grade or concealed within a podium structure with some above groun d parking
centrally located on site. Any above ground utility installation are required to be screened from. public view.

Resolution No. 16-092 ASA-2015-22
The project uses various planting materials and various ground cover mat erials to prevent dust and erosion.
The removal of trees throughout the site are necessary to accommodate th e project, but will be replaced

development would be reviewed with the construction documents to meet safety requirements while
preventing spill-ov er light to adjacent properties.
