Location Map The Trammell Crow Company has purchase the 2.675 acre site on the north side of Stoneridge Mall Road immediately east of the Breuners Home Furnishing site and proposes to construct a four-story, 59,984 sq. ft. general purpose office .building on the property. It would be constructed of precast concrete essentially the same color as the shopping center. Solar gray windows would be used on the ground floor while moderate reflective solar glass would be used on the top three floors. The structure would be irregular in shape and would employ balconies over the entrances .and at the northeast and southwest extremities of the building. Portions of the spandrels would be recessed slightly to add further definition to the structure. All in all it should be a handsome and interesting building. A parking ratio of one space for every 250 sq. ft. of net floor area is proposed. This is the same ratio used for other general purpose office buildings in the Stoneridge area. The parking area is well landscaped as is the entire area around the perimeter of the building. The landscaped area around the building would be mounded in some locations. Some of the trees used in landscaping would be as large as 24 inch box in size. A mitigated negative declaration accompanies this report. Based upon the Initial Environmental Study-done for this project, it is the staff's opinion that case Z-81 -80 would have significant adverse effects on the environment but that certain recommended conditions of approval would reduce those impacts to an insignificant level. If your Commission concurs with this environmental assessment, you must make the finding that the negative declaration is appropriate for the project. The .finding must be made prior to taking action on the project itself. In making this finding you should review the contents of Resolution No. 77-66 (Environ- mental Impact Guidelines and Procedures). Please refer to page 8 of the Guidelines for the definition of significant effect and pages 20 through 22 of the Guidelines for the details on determining significant effect.
