Commission approves Executive Place warehouse façade variance and large‑scale plan with staff follow‑up
Summary
A proposed 12,000‑square‑foot office‑warehouse at Executive Place received Planning Commission approval for a rear roofline variance and for the large‑scale plan subject to staff comments; staff requested utility relocation coordination for an underground fiber route and confirmation of exterior materials.
ESI presented a proposed 12,000‑square‑foot office‑warehouse at the end of Executive Place and asked for a variance to the requirement that roof lines must vary in height every 100 linear feet. The applicant requested relief for a 55‑foot rear roof run to simplify the rear roofline and reduce future maintenance complexity.
Planning staff said the project must vacate an easement that contains a fiber optic line running underneath the building; the applicant reported coordination with AT&T and that a relocation agreement is in progress and will go to City Council when complete. Staff also flagged the commercial design standards that require predominant exterior building materials to be high‑quality materials; the applicant and staff discussed calculations showing the applicant’s metal panels were near the threshold for permitted high‑quality material and agreed to provide additional material specifications for staff review.
The commission voted unanimously to approve the single variance for the rear roofline and then approved the large‑scale site plan subject to staff comments. Commissioners asked the applicant to provide lighting photometric plans with a preferred maximum color temperature of 4,000K rather than 5,000K. Engineering reported no remaining comments but asked to be updated when the fiber relocation is complete so staff can note it in records.
