District. The original building is =oTandfathered in relation to the setbacks and parking requirements. The addition, however, will. be subject to the TC-2 requirements. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon explained the proposed .addition will expand the buildings in two areas. The southern expansion of 840 feet will extends:the building to the south. This expansion will contain additional cooler space and displaya~eg. TheSouthem expansion will be located eight inches from the southern lot line. The TC-2!~.Commerciai' Zom'ng District allows for zero-lot line setbacks, so this setback is allowed.

He advised staff does not fbel that the Town Center DeVelbpment G~id4iin~"i~uld'apply to this request since the expansion should match the .existing b~ilding. However?i~ff would recommend that the Coronado field stone be extended farther'doWn the southern elevation. Staff would also recommend the addition of some windows 'al:6ng the southern elevation. Staff recommends 'site plan approval contingent upon compliance withCity Staff review letter dated July 30, 2004. Jeff Wise, applicant, indicated the two concernS of he and his partner are the request for putting windows on the south side and including stone,On the south side. He inquired if this stone would be required on.. the entire south side of the.b!afl'ding. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon explained staff was thinking of wrapping the stone around the building 20 to 30 feet. Mr. Wise commented they were not required to have windows on the south side of the building previously. Adding the windows will cause a couple of problems, mainly with security. This would require them to put windows in their display area. Also, With the Oasis gas station and video store only being 18 feet away the windows would look at a blank wall. The addition is set back 16 feet and he does not think anyone could see the windows. He contacted the owner of the building to their south about transplanting the tree they currently have on. the side to put it on his property, and he will be adding additional screening. This would obscure some of the vinyl siding asyou pull into the parking lot. Planning Commission/August 5, 2004 Page 18 of 40
