Design board approves Amplify two‑story office building with conditions on signage, screening and greenbelt parking
Summary
The board approved DR-2026-10 for a two-story, roughly 16,000-square-foot multi-tenant office building in Laguna Point, imposing conditions on landscape screening, a detached monument sign/seat wall, paver drainage details and greenbelt parking signage to be installed before certificate of occupancy.
The Design Review Board voted to approve DR-2026-10, a proposed two‑story, multi-tenant professional office building for Amplify LLC in Laguna Point, with multiple site-specific conditions.
Architect Walt Lindgren presented the proposal and site constraints, telling the board: “it is a 2 story 16,000 square foot professional office building.” Lindgren outlined parking access, a required 20-foot buffer adjacent to residences, rooftop equipment screening and a proposed seat wall that also functions as a monument sign.
Staff planner Emily Falco reviewed staff revisions and recommended language changes for site-specific conditions, including revised building elevations dated and stamped 03/12/2026, six-foot tall plantings around the trash enclosure, paver details for stormwater/drainage areas and a condition requiring the applicant to coordinate the location of four greenbelt parking spaces with the city. Falco also flagged the monument-sign/seat-wall combination: because the seat wall is connected to the building, the monument portion could count toward setback calculations unless the monument is detached or a gap is provided.
Board members discussed options and asked that, if needed for code compliance, the monument sign be detached or separated by a minimal gap from the building. The board added conditions to revise landscape and elevation materials and installation details; it also required greenbelt parking signs for the four public parking spaces and placed administrative review steps with staff and a board member for some items.
What happens next: the applicant must submit revised, city-stamped elevations and landscape plans showing required plantings and paver details; staff will verify conditions before issuance of permits.
