Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) comment period begins November 24, 2021 and ends January 10, 2022 

Design Approval to allow facade upgrades and site improvements at the Mid Valley Shopping Center:  upgrades include new paint around the window trims and roof facia; wrapping select aggregate concrete columns in a hardy board material that mimics rough-sawn siding; the removal of the “breezeway” or overhead roof element connecting Building A and Building C; and open up 8 roof areas on Buildings A, B & C to provide better visibility of the tenant spaces.  The major components of the roof structure would remain in these areas with the facia and major roof joists being visible.  The roof areas at 6 corners would be removed exposing the facia and joists and substituting a bronzed aluminum decorative panel.  The panels would be attached to the remaining joists and facia.  New exterior paint colors, new wood vertical siding at walls and select columns and new metal roofing at entry gable on Building C.  The proposed colors include “earth-inspired soft light to medium colors, including tans, sage-like greens and blues.  Select roof elements would be upgraded to include a standing-seam steel material in a non-reflective silver tone.  The project also includes replacement of the portions of the existing landscaping with drought-tolerant landscaping.  The property is located at 9550 Carmel Valley Road, Carmel (Assessor's Parcel Numbers 169-234-007-000 and 169-234-008-000), Carmel Valley Master Plan.
