       APPROVAL AT 2767 EAST COLORADO BOULEVARD
       Recommendation of City Manager:

       subject project comply with the Purposes of Design Review (in Section
       17.92.010 of the Zoning Code), and the Citywide Design Principles and
       Criteria (in the General Plan); and
       (2) Find that denial of unrestricted access to adjacent properties, for
       purposes of construction, constitutes changed circumstances (in accordance
       with Section 17.80.060(B) of the Pasadena Municipal Code) sufficient to
       justify the modification of the original approval; and

       design for the subject project.
       Recommendation of the Design Commission:
       (1) Find that the granting of limited access, for construction purposes, on
       the part of the adjacent property owners is not sufficient to justify a finding of
       changed circumstances (in accordance with Section 17.80.060(B) of the
       Pasadena Municipal Code) sufficient to justify the modification of the original
       approval; and
       (2) Affirm the decision of the Design Commission to deny the applicant's
       request for reconsideration of the conditions of approval for major
       modifications to the approved final design approval for the subject project.
