(Perez) Assistant Planner Perez gave a brief background about the project and presented the proposed awning color. Jerome Herrera, contractor, spoke in support of the project, noted that the awnings have already been installed, and the awning color is different than the color that was noted in the staff report. The proposed color of the installed awnings is "Sunburst Yellow". The Committee spoke in opposition of the awning color due to it not complementing the colors of the building and being inconsistent with the Village Design Guidelines. The Committee spoke in opposition of the installed awnings because they are stretched taut and do not have a loose valance, which is also inconsistent with the Village Design Guidelines and contrary to the project's conditions of approval. Vice Chair Berlin made a motion, seconded by Committee Member Hertel, to recommend to the Community Development Director denial of the proposed awning color and lack of valances. The Committee would be supportive of black or ivory awnings with a three to four inch (3"-4") valance. The motion passed 3-0 on the following voice vote: AYES: Berlin, Hertel, Hoag NOES: None ABSENT: None Minutes:ARC PAGE 3 Monday, January 7, 2019 9.b REVIEW OF TRASH ENCLOSURE LOCATION AND DESIGN ASSOCIATED WITH PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT 18-001; LOCATION — 184 BRISCO ROAD; APPLICANT — HABITAT FOR HUMANITY FOR SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY; REPRESENTATIVE —TEN OVER STUDIO, INC (Downing) Planning Manager Downing presented the proposed location of the trash enclosure and explained that the new location was a result of a Planning Commission condition to require the development to use a communal dumpster for trash services rather than individual trash receptacles for each unit. The Committee spoke in support of the new location proposed by the applicant. The Committee appreciated the new location because the trash enclosure screens the view of the parking areas and does not require the trash truck to travel far into the development.
