Pro Sect Descri tion
The development is a new mixed-use project consisting of two buildings with multi-tenant retail on the ground floor and offices on the second
floor
Conce t and Plannin
The most northerly building is a single story retail building. This building fronts PCH with landscape only between it and the street The pedestrian
space in front of the building ties directly to PCH and to the southerly building.
The southerly building is multi-tenant retail on the ground floor and offices on the second floor. The natural slope of the site is utilized to create a
parking level below the building adjacent to the rear parking area. Parking forthe retail uses is mainly in front of the building and the retail entries
face the street Parking and the entry for the second floor offices is mainly facing the parking area behind the building The breezeway connects
the two parking areas for shared use of all parking The building jogs at the breezeway to accommodate an existing easement in the rear an's
create more dynamic massing for the building. The pedestrian spaces in front of the building and the office decks at the rear are more intere
due to the varied massing of the building. With retail entrances on the front and office entry decks on the rear of the building the architectural
expression is on all sides, that is to say there is no back to the building The pedestrian space in front of the building connects to the northerly
building and PCH to the north and to PCH on the south at the breezeway axis forming a pedestrian loop though the site This loop connects to the
second floor offices through the breezeway
