STUDY SESSION: Joint Study Session to Review Concept Plans for Retail /Cinema Project ( Continued from March 3, 2003) Redevelopment Manager Moeller gave the background stating that this is the second in a series of joint study sessions to review concept plans for the Retail /Cinema Project. On March 3, a presentation was made by the architect for the building elevations and site plan. This presentation pertained to the streetscape plan for the project with staff returning in approximately 30 -40 days with revisions to the plans of the theatre and building based on input and comments received from the last meeting and this meeting. The architect and developer are in the process of preparing cost estimates on the proposed designs and revisions that might be incorporated based on the input received. This will provide a better grasp and handle on the costs of the construction and know that the proposal is within the budget established for the project. Michael Freedman, of Freedman, Tung and Bottomley, presented the various concept plans for the streetscape for the Retail /Cinema project. Freedman and Community Development Services Manager Patterson summarized the circulation context as part of the overall deliberation and consideration of the streetscape: Comments from the Council, Planning Commission and Architectural Committee Members included interest in Alternate 213, cobbles with flat areas and flush tree grates, softer trees, possibly stanchions with planters, and no interest in palm trees.
