4 Commissioner McQuillan supported this recommendation and suggested the applicant be given one year to submit a comprehensive plan. Commissioner Frischman recommended outdoor storage be reviewed by staff with the new SUP request. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development Gozola understood this would have to be looked into further. Motion by Commissioner McQuillan, seconded by Commissioner Nelson, to recommend the City Council approve the proposed site plan based on the findings of fact and conditions listed within the report as may have been amended here tonight. A roll call vote was taken. Approved 7-0. VII. Business Items (A) Special Use Permit Amendment: Request from NROCK PROPERTIES LLC (Silver Lake Smiles) to amend the existing SUP and site plan for 2370 Palmer Drive to address the overall plan for exterior aesthetics of the building that was impacted by COVID and the closing of companies initially contracted to provide approved exterior treatments –– PID 19-30-23-43-0043. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development Gozola reported in late 2018, Dr. David Ong (Silver Lake Smiles) received approval to construct a new commercial building at 2370 Palmer Drive. Architectural review at the time acknowledged the proposed design was unique, but determined it would still be compatible with the area and bring some needed diversity to the look and feel of the corridor. Building construction in mid/late 2019 ultimately stalled due to winter setting in, and by the Spring everything was shutting down (including the dental clinic) in the face of COVID. Vendors of the proposed false wall either backed out or went out of business, and costs for the remaining project components increased dramatically according to the applicant. Replacement vendors ultimately installed a partial false wall non- consistent with the approved plan. This application seeks to revise the previous SUP approval in light of the circumstances resulting in the present state of the building. It is the applicant’s hope that a win-win solution can now be identified through this process. Staff provided further comment on the request and recommended approval of the Special Use Permit Amendment, based on submitted plans and findings of fact. Brian Carpenter, architect for the applicant, reviewed the updated plans with the Commission. He thanked the Commission for the opportunity to discuss these new plans. He reported all fabric would be utilized within the new plan. He noted he would be printing up a fact sheet on the building that could be shared with visitors to highlight the energy efficiency measures that have been taken within this building.
