ADJOURNMENT ~~ CONSENT CALENDAR COMMENTS • 7:00 p.m. Douglas Fenn September 19, 2000 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 16081 -TRIMARK-A residential subdivision and design review of detailed site plan and elevations for 101 single family lots on 26.38 gross acres of land in the Low-Medium Residential District (4-8 dwelling units per acre) located at the southwest corner of Day Creek Boulevard and Victoria Park Lane - APN: 227-091-09, 26, and 50. Design Review Committee Action Members Present: Rich Macias, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Douglas Fenn Applicant addressed Committee's issues. The Committee approved the project • • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 7:10 p.m. Kirt Coury September 19, 2000 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 00-09 - PATIEL - A request to construct a new 10,944 square foot Church with religious education school on 2.86 acres in the Low Residential District, located on the north side of Base Line Road between Lion Street and Hellman Avenue - APN: 202-242-09. Design Parameters: The site is located on the north side of Base Line Road, approximately 330 feet west of Hellman Avenue. The site is generally flat with less than 5 percent slope north to south. The lot is currently occupied by a vacant single-family dwelling at the (front) southwest corner of the site. The remainder of the site is undeveloped with native trees and grasses present. Single-family dwellings surround the property on the north, east, and west. Also to the east is an existing church. Property immediately south of the site is developed with a retail commercial shopping center. Access to the site will be through an existing drive approach on Base Line Road. The project will consist of a 10,944 square foot church building with an office area, classrooms, and a prayer room. The building will be built on the 2.86 acres of land. The building will be self sufficient with independent access, parking, and utility services. Finish materials for the building exterior include archway treatments to create horizontal and vertical visual interest, reddish brown split-face block, and a file roof. The proposed windows will be arched and treated with mullions. The overall building height is proposed at 21 feet. • The applicant proposes to develop the property in three phases. The first phase will consist of tenant improvements to the existing single-family dwelling to be converted to a worship/education facility. In addition, the front parking and driveway approach will be constructed as part of Phase one. Phase two will include the development of the main prayer hall building and a majority of the central parking lot area. Construction time for Phase two is estimated at approximately 2 years. Phase three of the proposed project will include the construction of the office and classroom portions of the building, the remaining parking lot area, and completion of the proposed landscaping. The time completion for this Phase is estimated at another 2 years (4 years from project approval). Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Maior Issues: The primary design issue is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The Development Code states that "Materials, colors, scale, and prominence of buildings in adjacent land uses can be coordinated so there is a gradual transition from one land use to the another rather than a sharp and displeasing contrast. Purely aesthetic details that are "tacked" onto a building to cover up land use conflicts; however, will cause more harm than good. The architecture should consider compatibility with surrounding character, including harmonious building style, form, size, color, material, and roof line." The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: Building Style/Form -Revise building style/form to a more residential character. The Prayer Hall, as a 2-story building, will be the most visually prominent structure and is located at the rear of the property surrounded bysingle-family homes. Introduce a combination of hip and gable roof forms and eliminate flat parapet lines. The long flat parapet wall along the north elevation is not consistent with the adjoining single-family homes. • DRC COMMENTS CUP 00-09 - PATIEL • September 19, 2000 Page 2 2. Building Size -Staff believes that the size of the proposed 2-story Prayer Hall, which stands 21 feet high and has a footprint of 48 feet by 72 feet, is compatible with the area despite a larger mass than the small single family residences in the area. The Site Plan orientation places the Prayer Hall at the rear of the property with generous setbacks of 40 feet, 45 feet, and 80 feet from the east, north and west property lines. 3. Color -Change building color to a light shade rather than brown. The existing house of the subject site, the church to the east and the shopping center across Base Line Road all feature white stucco. 4. Material -The proposed split face block material is not compatible because there are no other split face block buildings in the immediate area. Change primary exterior wall material to stucco consistent with the area. 5. Roof Line -Change mansard roof line to a combination of hip and gable roofs. The neighborhood consists primarily of structures built prior to incorporation, including single- familyhomes, achurch, and the Lions Park Community Center East (formerCounty library). Although there is a mix of architectural styles and materials, it is significant to note that there are no other mansard roofs in the area. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: • 1. Provide more trees and decorative landscaping in northern portion of property encircling the proposed building to help screen visual impact of building on surrounding neighbors. 2. Incorporate angled parking with a landscape planter for parking spaces 19-50 as was done for parking spaces 51-72. 3. Relocate trash enclosure further away from southeast corner of building. The proposed Site Plan creates an undesirable continuation of asphalt paving right up to this corner of building. Suggest moving over to the west side of site to be more convenient to the kitchen and auditorium/dining hall. 4. Continue walkway from east side of building to the front side to provide pedestrian access for east parking lot area. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee approve the project subject to the modifications as recommended above. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Rich Macias, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Kirt Coury The Committee recommended the applicant redesign the project according to staff's identified "major" and "secondary" issues. The Committee expressed great concern relating to the site design, and the architectural compatibility with the surrounding residential neighborhood. It was recommended that the applicant work with staff regarding the mentioned issues, and that the item be brought back at a later date for Design Review Committee review.

Design Parameters: The site is vacant and relatively flat, with no significant stand of trees or other vegetation. The site is bounded to the east by Day Creek Boulevard and single-family development (under construction Kaufman and Broad Tract 15875) and to the south is railroad right-of-way (future Pacific Electric Trail). To the west is Edison electric transmission utility corridor and to the north is Victoria Park Lane (a linear park) and single-family development (under construction W illiam Lyon Tract 15871). Currently, the applicant depicts two lots, 53 and 60 as a remainder parcel. These two lots are along Day Creek Boulevard that is approximately 1320 feet long and roughly 110 wide. This parcel is owned by W illiam Lyon Homes, and the applicant is currently in negotiations with W illiam Lyon to purchase this strip of land. Once this strip is purchased the applicant will include it as a part of the tract. The applicant proposes a greenbelt trail connection (Lot "A"), in the middle of the southerly tract boundary, to the future Pacific Electric Trail. The applicant, Trimark Homes, will develop the site under the Low-Medium Residential Basic Development Standard of the Victoria Community Plan that also requires at least 20 percent of the lots to have RV storage (12-foot minimum side yard). The proposed subdivision layout is consistent with the pattern of development in the Victoria Planned Community. Five house plans are being • proposed, each having four different architectural styles: Spanish, Monterey, Traditional, and Craftsman. All of the plans have their own unique style and are configured as follows: Plan 1 is a single-story, 2,062 square feet, and features a 2-car front-on garage and a front porch. The plan is a three bedroom with product. There is a Plan 1 X which offers a third car garage or a den/opt flex space. Plan 2 is a two-story, 2,457 square feet, and features a 3-car (two-tandem space) front-on garage and recessed entryway. The plan is a three bedroom with a den option or afour-bedroom feature. Plan 3 is a two-story, 2,521 square feet, and features a 3-car (two-tandem space) front-on garage with a centralized and recess entryway. The plan also includes athree-bedroom plan with an option for a fourth bedroom or den. Plan 4 is a two-story, 2,765 square feet, and features a 3-car (two-tandem space) front-on garage with a centralized and recess entryway. The plan also includes afour-bedroom plan with an option for a fifth bedroom or den and an optional deck. Plan 5 is a two-story, 2,898 square feet, and features a 3-car front-on and side-on garage with a centralized and recess entryway. The four-bedroom plan also has an option of a den or additional bedroom. The side and rear elevations do not have quite the same level of architectural enhancement as the fronts but they still represent an upgrade over existing surrounding homes by using window surrounds, and second story balconies, which allow the developer to achieve the front enhancements. • Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. DRC COMMENTS TT 16081 -TRIMARK September 5, 2000 • Page 2 Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: Special "enhanced architecture" should be given to second story on lots, which rear onto Victoria Park Lane. Suggestions include pop-outs; decks/balconies, greater use of shutters, pot shelves, sash windows (or equivalent), window mullions. Submit a street scene elevation for Victoria Park Lane. 2. The intersection of Day Creek Boulevard is designated as a "Major Residential Entry" bythe Victoria Community Plan. The Planning Commission further defined this concept through adopting the attached Day Creek Boulevard Scenic/Recreation Corridor Master Plan. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: Use Plan 1 (a one-story floor plan) on Lot 34 in order to avoid a two story home on Lot 34 with only a 5-foot setback from rear yards of Lots 31 and 32. This awkward side yard to rear yard relationship creates privacy issues and lack of light, air and open space. 2. Front yard landscaping should include, at a minimum, one 15-gallon size tree, one 5-gallon size tree, seeded ground cover or lawn, and a permanent irrigation system to be installed by the developer. This shall be in addition to the required street trees. • 3. Submit a Site Plan labeling as "RV"those lots which will allow recreational vehicle storage in an unobstructed side yard (12-foot minimum width) on the driveway side of the lot. 4. All walls visible from any public right-of-way shall be decorative and consistent with established themes for Victoria Park Lane and Day Creek Boulevard. The Noise Study must be revised to reflect the current subdivision layout, particularly the concept of leaving the Remainder Parcel (Lots 53 and 60) undeveloped, and where sound attenuation walls are necessary. The undeveloped Lots 53 and 60 will not protect the homes from traffic noise along Day Creek Boulevard. 5. Provide special driveway treatment, and additional landscaping, to soften "concrete jungle" appearance of cul-de-sacs with tight driveway spacing. Generally, there is not enough space for planting street trees within parkway; hence trees must be planted a minimum of 4 feet behind sidewalk. Policv Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: Setback fences/retaining walls a minimum of 5 feet behind public sidewalk on corner side yards in order to provide a planter strip. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval subject to the above comments. Attachment DRC COMMENTS TT 16081 -TRIMARK September 5, 2000 • Page 3 Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Douglas Fenn The Committee reviewed the project and did not recommend approval. The Committee directed the applicant to continue to work on resolving the major issues presented at the meeting (enhanced architecture should be given to second story lots which rear onto Victoria Park Lane, Rail to Trails corridor and along Day Creek Boulevard and that project must comply with "Major Residential Entry" landscaping). The applicant agreed to address secondary issues, which included adding asingle- story Plan on Lot 76. The applicant should revise the project and return to Design Review Committee on September 19, 2000, as a Consent Calendar item. • • U O TRAIL CONNECTION TO ° O REGIONAL TRAIL O O _ FOOTIfILI.

Design Parameters: The development of Pad S and On The Border Mexican Cafe will complete Terra Vista Town Center. This application follows the recent approval of Sav-On, Target Expansion, and Polar Ice, and the processing of the application for Building Pads G and H. Pad S and On the Border are located on the west side of the Aspen Street entrance, west of Macaroni Grill and south of Java City Bakery Cafe. The surrounding parking lot, landscaping, and perimeter street improvements are existing. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Both buildings, Pad S and On The Border, will be expected to be consistent with the various building materials and colors, including the random stacking of tiles, file wainscot, plaster patterns, and the specific design details of the cornices, corbels, etc. All street furniture, trash enclosure design, hardscape and landscaping shall also match and/or be consistent with the Terra Vista Town Center Guidelines. On the Border, will offer different building accent stone and graphics to establish their coordinated, yet unique identity. 1. On The Border Mexican Cafe -Elevations and Site Plan North Elevation -The north elevation is the service entrance, for unloading and trash dumpsters, facing the north parking area.. Should be reoriented to open to the west (similar to Chili's Restaurant). As proposed, delivery trucks and trash trucks would likely park on main east-west drive and block access. Access to the service area should not be required to cross over the pedestrian access to Pad S across the rear of this building. The north elevation requires additional architectural detail. Potential solutions could include breaking the horizontal rooflines in some manner, and provide a trellis overthe service area. EasUWest Elevations - A depiction of the "illuminated graphic" must be provided to the Committee for a determination of whether the graphics are art or signage. Use the quatrefoil, typical of Terra Vista Town Center, rather than the circular accent piece (also used on south elevation). Other On The Border restaurants feature mural art in these locations. Public art is encouraged. In addition, the light fixtures used over the window-awnings are not a typical element used in Town Center. The only other goose-neck style fixtures are used at Chili's (east elevation). Please provide more information, such as a manufacturer's cut-sheet, that will describe these fixtures. South Elevation -The entry trellis is presently shown as a cantilevered design, extending approximately 6Yz feet beyond the building face. Provide support columns with a rock base (2-3 feet in height). Bus Shelter-A shelter should be constructed for the existing bus stop on Foothill Boulevard • in front of On The Border Mexican Cafe. Shelter design should match the shelter in front of Boston Market. n U DRC AGENDA DR 00-46 - LEW IS RETAIL CENTERS September 5, 2000 Page 2 2. Pad S -Elevations and Site Plan North Elevation -Additional trees/landscaping are necessary along the north face of the building. Provide 3-4 Palm trees in tree wells, similar to the opposite side of Aspen Avenue. West Elevation -The entry under the tower is for a 5,000 square feet suite, which could be enhanced by changing the building material around the entry to give it more prominence at the pedestrian level. Site Plan - Provide a trash enclosure for Pad S. The nearest trash enclosure is located south of Java City, 200 feet from Pad S. Staff does not recommend that Pad S share the On The Border's trash enclosure because restaurants can generate significantly larger volume of trash the retailers. • Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee discuss the issues noted above, along with any other issues as identified by the Committee, to determine appropriate conditions of approval and/or modifications required, prior to Planning Commission consideration. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Debra Meier On the Border North Elevation/Service Entrance -the service entrance will be opened toward the west (a man door access will be left along the north elevation). Access to the service entrance will be provided through a drive approach opening that can also be used as a loading zone space. The proposed modification was acceptable to the Committee. I~ U 2. North Elevation/Architectural Detail -the architect proposed a modification to the file roofline, increased the height of the faux-shutter panel, and added a wood trellis over the service area, to provide greater variety to the north elevation. These modifications were acceptable to the Committee. 3. The Committee determined that the backlit metal silhouettes depicted on the east and west elevations were forms of public art, and will not be considered signage. 4. South Elevation/Entry trellis - the applicant proposed a supporting column of concrete/stucco finish with a rock base. The Committee approved the solution proposed by the architect. 5. The applicant will be required to construct a bus shelter, west of the drive entrance adjacent to the bus bay. The shelter shall match existing shelters on Foothill Boulevard along the Town Center frontage. The Committee expressed their thanks to the architect for coming prepared with design solutions. Pad S Additional landscaping, consistent with the City requirement of one tree per 30 linear feet of building frontage, is required along the north elevation. DRC AGENDA DR 00-46 - LEW IS RETAIL CENTERS September 5, 2000 • Page 3 Entry into 5,000 square foot tenant shall be modified by removing the proposed rock wainscot, and using some alternative material (stone, tile, concrete, etc) toframe/accentuate the entry. The details shall be presented to the satisfaction of staff, prior to City Planner approval. 3. A trash enclosure, matching other enclosures within Town Center, shall be placed in the parking lot located north of the Pad S Building. Any outstanding details will be coordinated with staff, prior to City Planner approval. • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS SEPTEMBER 5. 2000 PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no public comments at this time.
