recessed area at the lobby for furnishings and plantings, and a range of building colors and materials as well as articulated elevations. - Policy BE-11.7: Provide the appropriate density and intensity of land uses to facilitate high levels of transit use along corridors. The project provides a high density mixed-use project within walking distance to the transit center (CalTrain), which facilitates high levels of transit use. - Policy BE11.8: Ensure that buildings along corridors are sensitive to adjacent neighborhoods, providing adequate scale transitions. The project is adjacent to commercial and residential development of similar intensity, height, and bulk. The project height steps down to three stories along El Camino Real for a sensitive transition to the lower scaled developments on the west side of El Camino Real, consistent with the DTPP. Goal BE-12: Transform the El Camino Real Corridor into a “Grand Boulevard” that supports walking, transit, bicycling, and economic development. - Policy BE-12.3: Accommodate the pedestrian in all public and private improvement projects along El Camino Real. The project accommodates the pedestrian through widened sidewalks with street trees, pedestrian lighting, bike racks, and planters. Along El Camino Real, the project provides active frontages, including retail uses at the corners, the lobby and leasing office, activity room, and residential units with entry stoops. Bulb- outs and ADA crossing ramps are also provided on Diller Street, as recommended in the Transportation Impact Analysis. - Policy BE-12.4: Enhance the visual character of the El Camino Real Corridor by public streetscape improvements, including landscaping, coordinated street furniture and fixtures, and upgraded infrastructure. The project enhances the character of El Camino Real corridor by providing continuous widened sidewalks with street trees, pedestrian lighting, bike racks, and planters. All existing driveway curb-cuts along El Camino Real will be removed and the project garage entries are provided from the alley and Franklin. This results in an uninterrupted sidewalk, making it safer pedestrians and providing more on-street parking. In addition to sidewalk improvements, Diller and Franklin streets would be repaved and diagonal parking spaces installed along Diller, increasing the supply of public parking. - Policy BE-12.5: Provide vibrant public spaces and gathering places along the El Camino Real Corridor. 8.A. - Page 60
