in size on certain property located west of Etiwanda Avenue and south of Arrow Route; APN:
0229-131-24. Primary Case File No. DRC2022-00101.
Staff presented the item to the Design Review Committee. Following the staff’s presentation, members of the
applicant’s team (Courtney Wing including their architect), provided additional background and detail on the
project. Following the presentation discussion ensued over various aspects of the project.
The Committee was complimentary of the project plan, architecture, and layout. The Committee further
expressed their appreciation of the proposed project development as the design appeared to be respectful
of the area and surrounding developments.
The Committee had questions for the applicant relating to the slopes of the property along the project northern
property line and how the slope would be managed (retaining wall, landscaping, etc.). The Committee
additionally asked general questions relating to the project landscaping and lighting. The architect discussed
the use of a small retaining wall or large curb for that area along the project boundary to address the
mentioned slope. The Committee also discussed the project architecture and was complimentary of the use
of tile, glass, scoring, etc. of the building.
The architect also noted the use of LED lighting within the tile popouts of the building. In addition, the
Committee asked questions relating to the truck traffic and street improvements for the site and area. It was
noted that traffic entering and exiting the site would approach off Arrow Route and access the site from
Yellowood Road (Juneberry Drive). Vehicle and truck traffic could also use the proposed Street A along the
southern property line as well as the private street (Street B) identified along the eastern portion of the site.
It was noted however, the majority of the truck traffic will approach (and exit) off of Yellowood Road
(Juneberry Drive). Lastly, the Committee asked about the internal ceiling height of the proposed building. It
was noted that the height would be approximately 36-feet in height.
The Committee took the following action:
Recommend approval to PC. 2-0 Vote.
E. Adjournment
