submittal that was rejected by the Committee.
B. ASAC recently approved a ground sign for the subject center. This proposal will
add a second ground sign exclusively for Apple Computers.

standards. Further, the Ordinance specifies that the name of a shopping center
must be predominant on center ground signs. Staff does not identify any
extraordinary circumstances which support a waiver of the Ordinance standards.

appropriate findings can be made.

ITEM 5) APPLICATION ASAC 4-U-82 -- DE ANZA PARTNERS (HARE, BREWER
& KELLEY):
Requesting approval of grouting for exterior walls for two existing office buildings.
Site located at the northwest corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and De Anza
Boulevard. 10001 N. De Anza Boulevard.
ENCLOSURES:
1. Exhibits Exhibits A, B, B-1, Info, Info 1, and Info 2 of Application 4-U-82
COMMENTS:
A. Applicant proposes to apply a gray grout between the bricks on the building
fascade. Staff is concerned that the grout will eliminate all surface relief from the
already stark fascade. Applicant states that grout is necessary to prevent bricks
from falling off the building.
B. Staff believes that the applicant should propose a comprehensive package of
improvements to the building, in addition to the grouting. As the Committee may
recall, Apple Computer received approval last year for modifications to the subject
building which included the following elements:
1. Continuous planter along the second floor balcony.
2. Awnings along the eastern fascade
3. Blue screen walls and bench -height railings along the street frontages.
Perhaps these and other elements should be required in conjunction with this
application.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that ASAC direct the applicant to submit a package of
improvements to offset the building's austerity.
