An updated Town Square parking tabulation is included with this application. •The sidewalk and streetscape along Prospect Avenue and State Street are largely unchanged. 2 parallel parking spaces on the west side of State Street are proposed to be removed to create a larger outdoor patio for a future restaurant in the south endcap of the new building. •Landscaping will be consistent with street and parking lot landscaping for this Block. 1996 DEVELOPMENT PLAN 1997 DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2008 SITE PLAN 2015 SITE PLAN REVISION BLOCK 2R1, LOT 4 -ARCHITECTURE •The architect for this building is David M. Schwarz Architects (Washington D.C.). Schwarz is Town Square’s master plan architect and its principle design architect. Many of you may also know DMSA from their work on Bass Hall, the Ballpark at Arlington and the American Airlines Center. •The building's style is derived from the many traditional, one-story commercial structures developed in the 1930's as downtowns expanded their footprints, oftentimes pushing into what we know today as the pre- WWII inner suburbs. These buildings were still built up to the sidewalk with parking on the street and behind the store. Like those structures, the building's long facade is subdivided into a series of smaller bays defined by substantial brick pilasters supporting a spandrel zone whose detailing references a traditional, three-part entablature. •The street-facing materials are predominantly brick. The pilasters have a center recessed panel. The brick within the spandrel is detailed with a decorative bond pattern. Stucco is used for the pilaster capitals and cornice profile. As with the buildings of the referenced time period, the strongly framed masonry openings along the street allow for the retail tenants to have variation in their storefront designs.Materials along the sides and rear elevations are stucco, formed to create a series of recessed panels. •The proposed building meets the intent of the Downtown District Guidelines. -Design is compatible with neighboring buildings. -Building placement is on the street, adding a new point of interest, and enhancing pedestrian environment and walkability throughout Town Square. LANDSCAPING •Streetscape along Prospect Avenue and State Street was completed with original development and is largely unchanged by the addition of this building. •2 parallel on-street parking spots are proposed to be removed at the southeasterly end of the building, to make room for an expanded area for outdoor dining for a future restaurant on the south endcap of the building. Patio landscaping will be added with that application when made to the City. •Landscaping in the parking lot islands that are added or relocated will be consistent with current parking lot landscaping.

In 1979, three siblings, Joe Zeiden, Carole Malfatti, and Mike Zeiden opened a small poster shop in Sherman Oaks, CA. This new form of art was growing and through hard work and long hours the young entrepreneurs thrived. Together they operated the store during the day and framed posters at night in their parent's garage. Before long the three siblings had a number of locations, moved out of their parent's garage and dreamt of stores that carried more than just poster art. Their vision was to put forth a collection of fashion forward and exclusive home furnishings, art, and accessories at an affordable price. Today, more than 30 years later Z Gallerie stores are an ever-changing combination of stylish, traditional and contemporary designs. Z Gallerie buyers are focused on designing and seeking out products that encompass the best ideas from around the world and right here at home. With 57 locations across the United States (including DFW stores at the Dallas Galleria and Knox Street) and an online presence, Z Gallerie continues to inspire both professional and amateur interior designers alike. It's the perfect store to pop in for a unique gift, find pieces that will accent any space or to create an entire room that is both fashionable and stunning. Z Gallerie is headquartered in Los Angeles with additional buying offices in Berkeley. Joe, Carole, and Mike remain active and foster a strong sense of family within the company. With more than 1000 employees it's a big task –but it works and they wouldn't have it any other way.
