General Comments: Based on review 4 of the Cano Drug/Hop Lee Laundry Rehab Plan Set, I recommend further review relative to comments below: The following are the Applicant's Senior Architect's responses to the Review Comments by the Design Professional Rick Gonzalez dated June 4, 2020; subsequent August 28, 2020 Review 4 Comments (this current review) are italicized and highlighted: Comment: 1. Enhance entries, front doors need to be visually highlighted by graphics, lighting, or similar features. All surrounding areas appear to be hardscape, no seating areas, landscape, no lighting along existing outside walls or pathways like courtyard. Provide landscape and safety lighting plans. Response: There are two doors on the front façade. Door D02 is an emergency exit, not an entry into the Club House and therefore will not have any graphics or lighting from the outside. Door D03 is an entry into a future tenant space. A J-box is provided at this entry for a future lighted sign. See approved building plan T17CM08216. See approved Development Package DP 17-0038 and approved building plan T17CM08216 for landscape and safety lighting plans for the surrounding areas. Review 4 Comment 1 Response: There are 496 sheets in the CD package and 385 sheets in the IID-17- 01 Design Package. Please attach referenced plan sheet copies to this review package showing compliance with proposed seating areas, landscape, and lighting along existing outside walls. Comment: 2. Provide a shade plan showing shade will be provided for at least 50% of all sidewalks and pedestrian access paths as measured at 2pm on June 21 when the sun is 82 degrees above the horizon. Shade may be provided by trees, arcades, canopies, or shade provided their location and design characteristics that are compatible with the historic and design context of the surrounding pathways and the architectural integrity of the building. Use plantings and shade structures to meet this standard. Shade provided by a building may serve to meet this standard. Shade provided by a building may serve to meet this standard. Response: See attached rendering showing a shade study taken at 2pm on June 21 of the 6’-wide pedestrian access path adjacent to the building. The pedestrian access path will be at least 50% in the shade provided by the building. Review 4 Comment 2 response: Complies Comment: 3. Service areas effectively face parking structures. However, windows at or above the second story need to be treated to reduce views into adjacent affected residential apartment units; Balconies oriented toward affected residential apartment units shall provide a screening device to reduce views into windows of the affected residential property. As an alternate, urban design best practices may be presented as an option for compliance. Response: All residential units have window blinds and vertical blinds on glass sliding doors to facilitate blocking views into the apartments. Review 4 Comment 3 response: The comment reponse is not relevant to views from this proposed development oriented toward affected residential units. Blinds can be opened and do not effectively qualify as compliance. Comment: 4. Provide color elevations or rendering. Colors may conform to the overall color palette and context of the historic structure and Downtown area or may be used expressively to create visual interest, variety and path rhythms. The rationale for an expressive or idiosyncratic use of color shall be described in the site plan submittal; New applications of materials, patterns, and elements shall respect original historic context and relate to the traditional context of the Downtown area. Because activity is limited to apartment residents, surrounding pathway activity can be limited to hours of operation. Response: Color Elevations have been provided. See Sheet A-19. According to the Historic Properties Treatment Plan for the Historic Resources of La Placita Village, “Historic photographs show the commercial storefront at the Drug Store originally consisted of glazed shop windows above short tile bulkheads.” The proposed design will replace the wood storefront at the historic main entry with aluminum storefront painted with a factory finish color and install new tile at the bulkhead that approximates the contrast of the original tile pattern (as determined from the black and white historic photographs). Also according to the Treatment plan, “The c.1922 storefronts were of wood and had differing arrangements of glazing and entry doors in each bay, with multi-light sash transoms above divided three rows height by the number of roughly square lights required to make up a row.” We will be replacing the wood storefronts with aluminum storefronts and the divided lites above the storefronts are to be constructed with aluminum storefront as well. The factory finish of all the aluminum storefront is a deep red color meant to approximate the original contrast between the storefront and the field color of the building (as seen on the black and white historic photographs.) Lastly, the Treatment Plan says, “Bulkheads below the show windows were originally paneled with wood.” Instead of using wood, we are approximating the shape, proportions and colors of the paneled wood bulkheads with contrasting tile. The field color of the building is chosen to be neutral but reflective of a color that would have been used during the historic period of the building around 1922. The wood trim on the north wall of the second floor is a contrasting but different color than the aluminum storefront to indicate a different material and that it is the original material to the building (wood) whereas the aluminum storefront is a recent interpretation of the historic material. Review 4 Comment 4 response: Complies Comment: 5. Consider adding drought-tolerant landscaping and indicate the palette of hardscape used. Indicate the location and quantity of bike parking provided and location of solid waste collection and/or waste alternatives provided. Response: See approved Development Package DP 17-0038. Review 4 Comment 5 response: Please attach referenced plan sheet copies to this review package showing compliance with proposed bike parking, landscape, and solid waste relevant to this specific project.
