Related files: Victoria Community Plan Amendment 01-01, General Plan Amendment 01- 02. PLANS AND STAFF COMMENTS WILL BE PROVIDED AT THE MEETING. Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Brad Buller, Brent Le Count Forest City Development presented their landscape design concepts for Arbor Way, reduced landscape setbacks along Day Creek Boulevard and Victoria Gardens Lane, and for Foothill Boulevard frontage., There was also a presentation by Forest City's traffic and parking consultant, The Mobility Group, regarding the parking analysis that had been prepared which provide justification for the recommended parking ratios for the project. Forest City made it clear that no • compact parking is proposed. The Committee recommends approval of the project subject to the following comments: The reduced landscape setbacks along Day Creek Boulevard from 45 feet to 43 feet and Victoria Gardens Lane from 35 feet to 33 feet are acceptable because the reduction is minimal and the dense tree and shrub planting combined with high meandering berms will adequately screen parking. Furthermore, the parking fields themselves are designed with lushly landscaped planters throughout. The revised design for the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Day Creek Boulevard is unimpressive especially relative to the current design provided by the Day Creek Master Plan. If Forest City is to modify the current conceptual plan for the intersection, the overall quality will need to be upgraded substantially in order to be comparable to the Day Creek Master Plan design. The Committee used words such as "stunning" and "breathtaking" to describe the level of quality of design treatment this intersection deserves. If there were insufficient time to actually come up with a revised schematic design for the intersection, a statement in the Master Plan stating the design intent, including a commitment to matching the quality of the current Day Creek Master Plan design would suffice, and be subject to Design Review Committee review. 3. The Committee agrees with the applicant that treatment of the frontage of Foothill Boulevard from the I-15 Freeway southbound off-ramp to Day Creek Boulevard is critical relative to the entry statement for the project as well as the City as a whole. However, similar to the Day • Creek/Foothill Boulevards intersection design, the Committee wishes to see substantial upgrade of the landscape/hardscape design treatment forthis section of Foothill Boulevard. This may be handled by a statement in the Master Plan describing the special nature and function of this section of Foothill Boulevard and how Forest City intends to treat it. DRC COMMENTS DA 01-01 -FOREST CITY DEVELOPMENT November 27, 2001 • Page 2 The Committee is willing to recommend approval of the project with the parking ratios provided by the applicant so long as the Master Plan includes provisions for parking efficiency measures such as valet parking (tandem parking), off-site employee parking, and perhaps shuttling/trolley system should the need arise. The Committee prefers not so see drive-thru fast food restaurants located along the Day Creek Boulevard frontage from Foothill Boulevard north to Church Street. Day Creek Boulevard functions as a gateway into the more urban mall atmosphere and it is felt that drive-thru type uses, no matter how well screened, undermine the urban theme. It would be acceptable however, to locate drive-thru uses along the Foothill Boulevard frontage of the site. The Master Plan should include a provision that there are no vehicle entry points to the residential parcels along Arbor Way other than the main east-west spine street shown on the Site Plan. The Master Plan should include a statement that dimensions shown are conceptual only and subject to change with Phase One Design Review. Specifically agreed upon dimensions such as the average and minimum setbacks along Day Creek Boulevard, etc., may be stated as such for clarification. • The applicant agreed to the requested change and comments. If possible the applicant may present the Committee with revised landscape designs for Foothill Boulevard and Foothill Boulevard/Day Creek Boulevard intersection, prior to review by the Planning Commission.

ADJOURNMENT n \J DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 10:00 a.m. Warren Morelion November 20, 2001 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRCCUP 00-48 - CRITCHFIELDDEVELOPMENT- The development of a recreational vehicle (RV) and self storage facility consisting of 166,784 square feet of building area on 12 acres of land in the General Industrial District (Subarea 14), located in the Southern California Edison power line corridoreast of 115 Freeway, north of 4th Street - APN: 229-321-08 and 9. Background; On July 17, 2001, the Design Review Committee reviewed the project and recommended the applicant work with staff to resolve design issues presented at the meeting. Specifically, the Committee asked the applicant to revise the project's architecture by designing it around a theme that would match existing industrial development in the area. The Committee also felt that the project's location on 4th Street is a gateway into the City and should be designed accordingly. The Committee was open to construction material type, provided the materials could meet the City's building and architectural standards. Design Parameters: The applicant has revised and submitted a new architectural design that is consistent with the City's design guidelines and with industrial development in the area. The primary material used for the project is tilt-up concrete with sandblasted treatments, similar to the new building (Bendetti warehouse building)justeastofthe projectsite. The tilt-up concrete is proposed for the first phase on the west, south, and portions of the east sides of the project. Because of the high cost oftilt-up concrete, the applicant has proposed to use a different construction material that can mimic tilt-up concrete on the second and third phases, and on areas of the first phase that are • not visible to the public. The project's layout will not change from the original proposal at the July 17, 2001, Design Review Committee meeting. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: The applicant has worked with staff to resolve all major design issues. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: The 8-foot screen wall proposed along 4th Street will need to be raised to fully screen interior storage buildings from public view. To do so, the screen wall should be designed with berming at its base to extend the total screening height above 8 feet. The wall as seen from inside the project can be above 8 feet without berming. To allow room for berming in front of the screen wall next to the office/caretakers residence a landscape planter will need to be added (see attached). 2. Depending on what will be parked in the outdoor storage parking stalls, the screen walls adjacent to them along the freeway side of the project may have to be extended in height. Per City standards, all vehicle storage areas shall be screened from public view. Additional landscaping to help screen parking area may be used as an option to extending the wall height. • 3. Add reveals to all sandblasted column treatments to be consistent with the architectural design of the office/caretakers residence and screen wall pilasters. DRC COMMENTS DRCCUP00-48 - CRITCHFIELD DEVELOPMENT • November 20, 2001 Page 2 4. Add sandblasted column treatments to each side of the spandrel glass that is on the storage building at the southwest corner of the site. Also add a column treatment on the south side of the second floor bathroom of the office/caretakers residence. 5. Add a horizontal sandblasted band under the second floor bedroom window on the east side of the office/caretakers residence. Extend the spandrel glass up to the bottom of the existing horizontal sandblasted treatment at the roofline. 6. Add pilasters at all interior corners and ending points of the screen wall along 4th Street (see attached). Because there is no logical ending point to end the spandrel glass, wrap the glass all the way around the front entry doors of the office/caretakers residence. Policv Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: Add perforated sheet metal to wrought iron gates for screening purposes. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee give the applicant a final architectural design direction for the project and recommends the project be brought back to the • Committee again for further review. Attachments Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Pam Stewart, John Mannerino, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Warren Morelion The Committee recommended approval of the project subject to all of the above-mentioned conditions except for No. 6. The applicant will not be required to add additional pilasters to the screen wall along 4th Street. r1 t~ l • ~_ • -~ ~ ~ - ~. ,,.. , I h .... .

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 10:40 a.m. Kirt Coury November 20, 2001 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTAND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2001-00437-EXXON MOBIL OIL CORPORATION - A request to construct a new 3,946 square foot service station with convenience market, drive-thru car wash and pump island on 1.39 acres of land, located at the northeast corner of Haven Avenue and Town Center Drive in the Office Park District or the Terra Vista Community Plan - APN: 1077-421-38. Related files: Preliminary Review DRC2001-00247. Design Parameters: The site is located at the northeast corner of Haven Avenue and Town Center Drive. The lot is 1.39 acres located within the larger vacant block of 11 acres located between Church Street and Town Center Drive. The site is rough graded and is 2-4 feet higher than the street elevation along Haven Avenue. Some street trees will require relocation due to the development of a right turn pocket along Haven Avenue. These trees will be relocated into the modified street landscape design plan along Haven Avenue. Significant new landscaping will be provided on-site. A Type II gateway exists at the intersection of Haven Avenue and Town Center Drive, which is fully landscaped along Haven Avenue. North and east of the site is vacant undeveloped land. To the west across Haven Avenue is a developed commercial shopping center. South of the site across Town Center Drive is a new Sav-On drug store. The project will include a 3,946 square foot convenience store, a 1,152 square foot coin operated carwash, and a 5,346 square foot steel canopywith 8 fueling dispensers. The facilitywill store and dispense to retail customers both gasoline and diesel fuels. The site will be developed in one phase. • The facility will be a 24-hour operation and will offer beer and wine sales for off premises consumption. The convenience store building height is approximately 30 feet, and the carwash building height is approximately 18 feet. The architectural style is similar to Terra Vista Town Center, and includes a stucco finish with foam and stucco covered wood trim treatment, a tower element, tube steel trellis elements, decorative wall the insets, and a standing seam copper panel roof. The major differences from Terra Vista Town Center are the metal roof material and lack of stone veneer wainscot. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: The architectural treatment and cornice element along the west elevation should match or resemble the treatment of the east elevation. The west elevation (facing Haven Avenue) will be the most viewed elevation. 2. Building pop-outs representing horizontal variation should pop-out a minimum of 3 feet off of the main building for shadowing and relief. Pop-out treatments should be reflected on the building footprints of the proposed Site Plan, Grading Plan, Landscape Plan, and Floor Plan. 3. The entrance pop-out tower element should be increased out approximately 5 to 6 feet for more character and definition to the front entrance. 4. Add a wood trellis structure with columns over the drive-thru lane along the west elevation. DRC COMMENTS CUP DRC2001-00437 -EXXON MOBIL OIL CORP. November 20, 2001 Page 2 Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. The proposed sign element on the front entrance of the convenience store is too large for the building. The letters are 4 feet tall and the overall sign height is 6 feet, which would be characteristic of a major anchor store. Staff would suggest 24-inch high letters. 2. Add natural concrete frame representation around the proposed ceramic the accents. Further, add ceramic the accents with framing to the convenience store north, south, and west elevations and to all elevations of the carwash building and canopy structure. 3. Increase the reveal expansion on building face to a minimum of 2 inches. 4. Provide a bus shelter on-site to serve the new bus bay on Haven Avenue The wood brackets of the rooftop tower structure should be substantial in size to avoid a spindly appearance or the number of brackets increased. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be revised and return to Design Review Committee.

Design Parameters: The site is located between Etiwanda Avenue and the I-15 Freeway, north of Foothill Boulevard. The lot is generally flat, sloping downward to the south and east. The site is currently vacant with native trees and grasses present. Eight existing single-family residences, • located on an inverted L-shaped property at the central portion of the site, are not a part of the proposed project. The property to the south is vacant, but is planned for commercial development. To the west and north is the I-15 Freeway. To the east across Etiwanda Avenue, is the approved, but not yet built, Camino Real Apartments by this same developer. The project density of 13.8 dwelling units per acre is essentially at the top of the density range for this zone; therefore, transition of density to adjoining single-family homes is critical. Site Plan has been designed to create transitions through building orientation and setbacks to the identified single- family residences. The project will include a total of 41 apartment buildings comprised of four building types. In addition, there will also be two recreation buildings with one office/leasing building. The proposed buildings fronting Etiwanda Avenue have enhanced elevations and the building masses include both two-story and one-story elements to articulate the massing. There are 19 iwo- story apartment buildings proposed along the freeway corridor at the north and west project perimeter. The buildings are intended to assist with the mitigation of freeway noise. Single-story garage structures perform as a good buffer and low building mass transition along the south property line, adjacent to the commercial property. The project will require a Variance to allow for the increase in the wall height up to 25 feet for sound attenuation along the I-15 Freeway. A substantial recreation/open space corridor is provided within the development, which will include both active and passive recreation facilities. Active recreation uses include a community pool and spa; several tot lots, half court basketball, grass volleyball court, horseshoe pit, barbecue areas, and exercise facilities within the recreation buildings. The proposed buildings will include a stucco finish, painted wood corbels, wood siding, and a concrete flat file roof. The project perimeter will involve 6-foot high tubular steel fencing and a masonry wall. Fencing along Etiwanda Avenue will include 6-foot high tubular steel fencing with decorative masonry pilasters. DRC COMMENTS TT SUBTT16257 AND DRC2001-00557 -FORECAST CORPORATION November 20, 2001 Page 2 Regulations: the Etiwanda Specific Plan only allows the proposed density under the Optional Development Standards. The key requirement is a minimum of 30 percent common open space. The project site's frontage, within 200 feet of the street centerline, is located within the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District. The Overlay District is intended "to protect and enhance the visual and historical character and the quality of Etiwanda Avenue and its immediate surroundings." The key requirement is for multi-family structures to be designed "to present an image of large single-family structures." River rock is encouraged as a design element. A minimum of 15 recreational amenities is required based upon the total number of units. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: 1. Roof style and materials of the apartment buildings and garage structures should match. 2. Incorporate design elements of the proposed buildings into the architecture of the garage structures (i.e., gable roof element, stucco finish, painted wood corbels, wood siding, etc.). 3. All walls and fences shall be of decorative material. . 4. Two of the proposed elevations should incorporate decorative materials other than wood siding to provide variation in the buildings. For example, Buildings B and D could include stacked stone or real river rock treatment. 5. The decorative perimeter fence along Etiwanda Avenue shall incorporate large decorative masonry pilasters (i.e. real river rock or stacked stone) in its design. The pilasters shall be developed at a minimum of 30 inches squared. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. Vary the roll-up garage door designs to avoid monotony. Suggest pairing together doors with same design. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee approve the project subject to the modifications as recommended above. Design Review Committee Action: Member Present: Pam Stewart, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Kirt Coury The Committee reviewed the project and recommended the applicant make all major and policy issue revisions, with the exception of the fourth identified major issue. The revision should incorporate decorative material otherthan wood siding and could include stacked stone or real river rock treatment on the four buildings along Etiwanda Avenue as well as the leasing/clubhouse building. The applicant agreed to make the necessary revisions and bring back the revised elevations and sample materials. The Committee asked to see the project on Consent Calendar at the next Design Review Committee meeting.

Background; On July 17, 2001, the Design Review Committee reviewed the project and recommended the applicant work with staff to resolve design issues presented at the meeting. Specifically, the Committee asked the applicant to revise the project's architecture by designing it around a theme that would match existing industrial development in the area. The Committee also felt that, the project's location on 4th Street is a gateway into the City and should be designed accordingly. The Committee was open to construction material type, provided the materials could meet the City's building and architectural standards. Design Parameters: The applicant has revised and submitted a new architectural design that is consistent with the City's design guidelines and with industrial development in the area. The primary material used for the project is tilt-up concrete with sandblasted treatments, similar to the new building (Bendetti warehouse building) just east of the project site. The tilt-up concrete is proposed for the first phase on the west, south, and portions of the east sides of the project. Because of the high cost oftilt-up concrete, the applicant has proposed to use a different construction material that can mimic tilt-up concrete on the second and third phases, and on areas of the first phase that are • not visible to the public. The project's layout will not change from the original proposal at the July 17, 2001, Design Review Committee meeting. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: The applicant has worked with staff to resolve all major design issues. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: The 8-foot screen wall proposed along 4th Street will need to be raised to fully screen interior storage buildings from public view. To do so, the screen wall should be designed with berming at its base to extend the total screening height above 8 feet. The wall as seen from inside the project can be above 8 feet without berming. To allow room for berming in front of the screen wall next to the office/caretakers residence a landscape planter will need to be added (see attached). 2. Depending on what will be parked in the outdoor storage parking stalls, the screen walls adjacent to them along the freeway side of the project may have to be extended in height. Per City standards, all vehicle storage areas shall be screened from public view. Additional landscaping to help screen parking area may be used as an option to extending the wall height. • 3. Add reveals to all sandblasted column treatments to be consistent with the architectural design of the office/caretakers residence and screen wall pilasters. DRC COMMENTS DRCCUP00-48 - CRITCHFIELD DEVELOPMENT • November 20, 2001 Page 2 4. Add sandblasted column treatments to each side of the spandrel glass that is on the storage building at the southwest corner of the site. Also add a column treatment on the south side of the second floor bathroom of the office/caretakers residence. 5. Add a horizontal sandblasted band under the second floor bedroom window on the east side of the office/caretakers residence. Extend the spandrel glass up to the bottom of the existing horizontal sandblasted treatment at the roofline. 6. Add pilasters at all interior corners and ending points of the screen wall along 4th Street (see attached). Because there is no logical ending point to end the spandrel glass, wrap the glass all the way around the front entry doors of the office/caretakers residence. Policv Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: Add perforated sheet metal to wrought iron gates for screening purposes. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee give the applicant a final architectural design direction for the project and recommends the project be brought back to the • Committee again for further review.

Related files: Preliminary Review DRC2001-00247. Design Parameters: The site is located at the northeast corner of Haven Avenue and Town Center Drive. The lot is 1.39 acres located within the larger vacant block of 11 acres located between Church Street and Town Center Drive. The site is rough graded and is 2-4 feet higher than the street elevation along Haven Avenue. Some street trees will require relocation due to the development of a right turn pocket along Haven Avenue. These trees will be relocated into the modified street landscape design plan along Haven Avenue. Significant new landscaping will be provided on-site. A Type II gateway exists at the intersection of Haven Avenue and Town Center Drive, which is fully landscaped along Haven Avenue. North and east of the site is vacant undeveloped land. To the west across Haven Avenue is a developed commercial shopping center. South of the site across Town Center Drive is a new Sav-On drug store. The project will include a 3,946 square foot convenience store, a 1,152 square foot coin operated car wash, and a 5,346 square foot steel canopy with 8 fueling dispensers. The facility will store and dispense to retail customers both gasoline and diesel fuels. The site will be developed in one phase. • The facility will be a 24-hour operation and will offer beer and wine sales for off premises consumption. The convenience store building height is approximately 30 feet, and the carwash building height is approximately 18 feet. The architectural style is similar to Terra Vista Town Center, and includes a stucco finish with foam and stucco covered wood trim treatment, a tower element, tube steel trellis elements, decorative wall the insets, and a standing seam copper panel roof. The major differences from Terra Vista Town Center are the metal roof material and lack of stone veneer wainscot. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: The architectural treatment and cornice element along the west elevation should match or resemble the treatment of the east elevation. The west elevation (facing Haven Avenue) will be the most viewed elevation. 2. Building pop-outs representing horizontal variation should pop-out a minimum of 3 feet off of the main building for shadowing and relief. Pop-out treatments should be reflected on the building footprints of the proposed Site Plan, Grading Plan, Landscape Plan, and Floor Plan. The entrance pop-out tower element should be increased out approximately 5 to 6 feet for more character and definition to the front entrance. . 4. Add a wood trellis structure with columns over the drive-thru lane along the west elevation. DRC COMMENTS CUP DRC2001-00437 • November 20, 2001 Page 2 - EXXON MOBIL OIL CORP. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: The proposed sign element on the front entrance of the convenience store is too large for the building. The letters are 4 feet tall and the overall sign height is 6 feet, which would be characteristic of a major anchor store. Staff would suggest 24-inch high letters. 2. Add natural concrete frame representation around the proposed ceramic the accents. Further, add ceramic the accents with framing to the convenience store north, south, and west elevations and to all elevations of the carwash building and canopy structure. 3. Increase the reveal expansion on building face to a minimum of 2 inches. 4. Provide a bus shelter on-site to serve the new bus bay on Haven Avenue. 5. The wood brackets of the rooftop tower structure should be substantial in size to avoid a spindly appearance or the number of brackets increased. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be revised and return to Design Review Committee.

Related file: SUBTT16263. Design Parameters: Tentative Tract 13272 is located in the northwest quadrant of the Terra Vista Community Plan. Surrounding land uses include Central Park Plaza (Neighborhood Commercial) located on the west side of Ellena West; a vacant parcel that is the site of Tract 15492 (Low Medium) approved January 2001 and now under construction located on the south side of Terra Vista Parkway; existing single homes (Low Medium) referred to as "Sorrento", and an existing town home development (Medium) referred to as "Northview" along the east boundary of the site; and, lying north of Base Line Road, existing single-family homes in the Victoria Planned Community (Low Medium). • The site is bound on the north by Base Line Road, on the west by Ellena West, and on the south by Terra Vista Parkway, all street are improved including pavement, curb and gutter. Sidewalks, trials, and landscaping will be required with project approval. The site slopes southerly at an approximate 2 percent gradient, there are no trees or significant vegetation left on the site due to years of disking and weed control. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion: The project is an attached town home-style project. Each dwelling has access to an attached 2-car garage. Private open space is provided through a combination of balconies and privately fenced ground-level rear-yard patio (minimum area 10 feet by 20 feet). The common open space is provided throughout the site within large open green play areas, walkways, two children's tot lots, bar-be-que/picnic nodes, and a pool and spa (refer to issue described below). The applicant has not proposed perimeter walls/fences along perimeter streets (except for patio privacy fencing, which is set back form the streetscape), which allows on-site landscaping to flow with the parkway landscaping and maximum the landscape and open space opportunities. 2. The structures are designed using a European styling. The front and side elevations of the structures include a stone wainscot, and some windows include shutters. Additional detailing should be incorporated (refer to issues identified below) in order to more fully express the design theme. • DRC COMMENTS TT 16263 & DRC2001-00379 - KB HOME November 6, 2001 • Page 2 Design Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: Staff has discussed with the applicant the potential for relocation of the pool/spa area to a central location within the project. The applicant, however, has determined from marketing research, that although the residents of similar projects enjoy the availability of the pool/spa, the units immediately adjacent to the pool/spa area are the least desirable from a resident perspective. For this reason the applicant proposed the present location for the pool/spa to limit exposure to individual dwellings, and they like the open space window created along Terra Vista Parkway. The Committee should review the setting of the pool/spa and consider the appropriateness to the location for this particular project. 2. The architectural theme picks up elements that reflect a somewhat European theme; however, detailing should be expanded to incorporate all sides of the building and the entry courtyards. The design could incorporate mid-level banding details that would allow for color variation on the elevation; incorporate a more interesting variety of window trim details that are incorporated on all elevations; in some instances expand the use of the stone vertically on the elevation to create more dramatic entries columns; and other similar architectural design features. • Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee discuss and resolve the issues identified by staff and forward the project to the Planning Commission for review and approval. Design Review Committee Action: Member Present: Pam Stewart, John Mannerino, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Debra Meier The Committee approved the building elevations with the conditions that the applicant incorporate design details within the courtyard using variation in color, the use of stone as entry accents or as wainscoting, or other trim details and elements or a combination of them. The applicant shall address these items to the satisfaction of staff, prior to Planning Commission. The Committee agreed with staffs comment pertaining to concerns with respect to the location of the pool/spa. The Committee suggested that more information was necessary to analyze the location of the pool/spa in the proposed location, such as across-section of the site with Terra Vista Parkway, and a street scene along Terra Vista Parkway. Besides the issue of being centralized on the site, the Committee expressed concern that leaving the pool along the street frontage created an "attractive nuisance." The Committee suggested also that the applicant examine alternative locations, such as near the open play area and tot lot in the central portion of the site. The applicant shall work with staff during the site analysis and return to the Committee with the results of the recommendations and/or results.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2001-00380 - KB HOME -The review of detailed site plan and building elevations forTentative Tract 16264 consisting of 63 single-familydetached condominiums on 7.53 acres in the Medium Residential District (8-14 dwelling units per acre) of the Terra Vista Community Plan, located on the south side of Mountain View Drive between Milliken Avenue and Terra Vista Parkway -APN: 227-151-32. Related file: SUBTT16264. Design Parameters: The project is located in the northeast quadrant of the Terra Vista Community Plan. Surrounding land uses include a vacant parcel that is the site of Tract 15492 (Low Medium) approved January 2001 and now under construction, which lies south of Terra Vista Parkway; the existing Montecito Apartments (Medium) along the west site boundary; and existing single-family residential development referred to as "Rosecrest" (Low Medium) along the east boundary; and vacant parcels (Medium and Medium-High) on the south side of the Greenway Corridor Trail. The north boundary of the site is formed by Mountain View Drive and the south boundary is formed by the existing Greenway linear park and trail. The east boundary will be formed by the development of a trail type D along the west boundary of "Rosecrest" (Tract 13303); and the east . boundary is adjacent to the Montecito apartments (Tract 13273). The site slopes gently from north to south at a 2 percent gradient. There are no trees or significant vegetation left on the site due to years of disking and weed control. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion: The project features asingle-family detached, zero-lot-line, condominium concept. Each unit has ground-level private open space located along the side of the home, with a minimum area of 10 feet by 25 feet. The front of the dwelling faces towards either a street or a common green space. Each unit has an attached 2-car garage, and most units also have the use of a parking space referred to on the plan as the "Hollywood" Drive (see issue identified below). Visitor parking is distributed around the project site. Common open space and amenities consist of common green space including pathways, a tot lot, a picnic and bar-be-que area, a turf play area, and resting nodes distributed along the interiors pathways. All private driveways will be scored or other decorative pavement texture, and walkways will be lead across interior streets using enhanced concrete patterns. The architectural theme is characterized by a craftsman/bungalow styling. All units feature a front porch, wood-lap siding, and array of details including window shutters, decorative wood corbels some include a decorative knee brace, brink veneer will be used on a percentage of units as options. Design Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: 1. The Committee should review the "Hollywood" Drive concept. Staff believes this creates a street scene dominated by parked cars and garages. Further, it creates an unattractive entry to homes. DRC COMMENTS TT 16264 & DRC2001-00380 - KB HOME November 6, 1002 Page 2 2. The Committee should consider requiring the use of the brick veneer "option" on a minimum of 20 percent of the units within the project. 3. The applicant should clarify for the Committee the treatment proposed along the 5-foot setback on the west property boundary. In many cases the existing garage within the adjacent apartment project has been built at the property line; this condition will require adaptable landscape material or vines to soften this condition. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee discuss and resolve the issues identified by staff and forward the project to the Planning Commission for review and approval. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Pam Stewart, John Mannerino, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Debra Meier The Committee approved the project as submitted with two conditions: The enhanced side elevations where the porch element is used shall have a post that is proportional in dimension to the overhead structural element. • 2. The Committee recommended that the use of the "Hollywood Drive" be deleted from the plan concept and replace with landscaping. n U DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:00 p.m. Brent Le Count November 6, 2001 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 00-17 -CHEVRON - A request to construct a new 2,740 square foot service station with convenience market, drive-thru carwash and pump island on 1-acre of land in the Community Commercial District (Subarea 2) located on the south side of Foothill Boulevard west of Vineyard Avenue - APN: 207-211-12, and 13. The Design Review Committee reviewed the project on October 16, 2001 and requested that the project be redesigned in light of staffs comments and the following additional comments. The applicant agreed to make the requested changes and come back before the Committee for further review. The Committee will not require modification of the corporate Floor Plan or building plotting but is unwilling to accept Chevron signature architecture in this case as it conflicts with the proposed Design Guidelines, design goals for Foothill Boulevard, and the surrounding development. Incorporate architectural features, colors, and landscaping conforming to the proposed Design Guidelines that foster a winery theme. The revised building design incorporates more river rock veneer (manufactured), wood corbels, and exposed rafter tails all of which are elements of the winery theme and are consistent with the Design Guidelines but the overall building design has not changed substantially from the original submittal. While certain appropriate architectural features are • present, the building somehow misses the mark and is still very much a "corporate prototype"design based on a large stucco box. It does not conform to the sketches in the Design Guidelines for the Rodriguez master planned shopping center of which Chevron is a part. 2. Provide greater pop-out dimensions and column depth for wall features to foster a more substantial appearance similar to the concept drawings associated with the proposed Design Guidelines. Column projections/pop outs range from 8 inches to 11 inches away from the main wall surface. This is a nominal dimension at best and should be increased to something on the order of three feet to avoid a wallpapered or stuck-on appearance. Columns supporting overhead trellises are still spindly and should be substantially increased in width similar to the existing service station at the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue. Wall mounted treillage is proposed to be wooden and should be changed to minimum 2 inches member painted metal. 3. Restudy parking lot layout at the southeast corner of the site and to the south of the site per the sketch prepared by Nancy Fong, Senior Planner, and shown to the Committee and applicant (see copy attached) to avoid vast areas of asphalt paving and vehicle circulation conflicts. The driveway entrance at the southeast corner of the Chevron site has been reduced to 60 feet in width, which is acceptable. The parking field south of the site has been reconfigured but does not conform to Committee direction. The parking area should be revised per the attached sketch. The recommended modification results in a loss of 16 parking spaces but . there are 38 surplus spaces available so there would still be 22 surplus spaces after the modification. This is a nominal tradeoffconsidering the convenience and safety afforded by the recommended modifications. Eliminate starburst pattern from north/south driveway or restudy location to fit better with the Chevron Site Plan. DRC COMMENTS CUP 00-17 -CHEVRON November 6, 2001 • Page 2 Additional Comments:' 1. Provide Crape Myrtle tree planting along the Foothill Boulevard frontage consistent with the Foothill Boulevard Activity Center theme. 2. When the application was originally submitted, the existing mature trees just west of the site were to remain untouched. The current Site Plan shows these trees to be removed. The trees should be preserved if possible. These appear to be off-site trees so their removal should not be necessary. Permission from the property owner and a Tree Removal Permit will be necessary in order to remove the trees. 3. Note that east facing doors and openings will be subject to excessive seasonal winds. Suggest a double door foyer to mitigate this. 4. Provide trim/surrounds with decorative profiles to accentuate archways/overhangs. This trim shall be of a different color than the main stucco field color. 5. Continue arched treatment from the tower to the other sides of the tower. 6. Windows should be multi-paned consistent with the proposed design guidelines for the center and to compliment the grid established by the wall-mounted trellises. • 7. The Engineering Division is willing to support the western driveway off of Foothill Boulevard subject to it being gated off to customer traffic. The gate shall be automatically operated so that it is open the minimum length of time for a gas delivery truck to exit the site and shall be made of decorative wrought iron framed with rock covered pilasters. Intensified landscaping shall be provided along the frontage of the site to conceal the existence of this driveway. Policv Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: All roof- and ground-mounted equipment shall be fully screened. The site sits well below the Albertson's site to the north, which will pose a design challenge for any roof-mounted equipment or satellite dishes. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be revised and brought back for further review. Attachment Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Nancy Fong Staff Planner Brent Le Count The Committee reviewed the revised plans and found that the new design was not substantially different from past designs that had been rejected. The applicant submitted another set of revised • plans at the meeting that had increased river rock application along the base of the building. The Committee found this design to be a nominal increase in quality. The Committee reminded the applicant that it would be necessary to follow the Design Guidelines for the Rodriguez master planned shopping center of which the project is a part. The applicant claimed that the revised design does conform to the guidelines and asked the Committee to explain why it does not. The DRC COMMENTS CUP 00-17 -CHEVRON November 6, 2001 • Page 3 Committee requested that the project be revised and brought back for further review in light of staffs comments and the following additional comments: 1, Reduce roof pitch on tower element to match the Guidelines. 2. Increase the height and mass of the overall roof area to balance the building and avoid a tacked on, mansard-like appearance. 3. The columns that support the trellises should match those shown in the Guidelines. 4, The fascia and exposed rafter tail details (including rafter spacing) should match those shown in the guidelines. 5. Windows should have some form of cut ups to add visual interest and be consistent with the Guidelines. 6. Section A-A shows approximately 6 feet of fill along west project boundary. If a retaining wall is necessary to support this fill it shall be decorative, preferably covered with river rock. If no retaining wall is to be constructed here off-site grading will be necessary and the applicant shall obtain authorization for such grading from the San Bernardino County Flood Control District, prior to scheduling for Planning Commission. 7. Provide decorative profile cornice around the carwash building or provide a pitched roof tied into the remainder of the building. 8. Provide decorative trim around the archway on the tower feature and elsewhere to enhance the appearance of the building and avoid a boxy stucco look. 9. Provide more corbels on the tower feature consistent with the Guidelines. The applicant expressed substantial reluctance to cooperate with anyfurther redesign. Brad Buller, City Planner, offered to meet with the applicant to help them with a redesign effort. The applicant agreed to meet with Mr. Buller. • fi z -o ~ ~ L ~ ~ d N Q Z ~~°~'° ~~ a I ` ~~ ~~ \ Zr ~ ~ .. ~ r)'. ,1 ~ <~ _ ~>.. _ ~-- NEW VUNTER ~ ~ ~'-~S~-D~BUILgNC SRg,~CK "' ` -- PROPO520 BUILDING CAR '" LL - WASH 12'-0' ~ ~ ~ Q ~ ~ 0 ~~--- i 1 ° ~1 /i_oi ~~ ®' 1 _~ ®i ~ ~ ~a~a€ e ~ N ~ ~ =~~ G ~ ~ ~ I ' ~~ ~ ~ ~~ -~ J~ ~~ 3~ ~~ ~ ~~ ~~ V ~ ~ ~~ 9~ ~_ ~ ~ c~ ~ e ~ o ~o ,._,. -y._B. ~II O° II O° I ~//I yso~ DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 7:30 p.m. Brent Le Count November 6, 2001 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT 01-01 -FOREST CITY DEVELOPMENT-The detailed review of a master plan fora 2.45million square foot open air mixed use mall development including retail, office, specialty commercial, restaurant, and entertainment uses as well as approximately 600 multi-family dwelling units on 174 acres of land located within the limits of the Victoria Community Plan generally bounded by the future Church Street to the north, the I-15 Freeway to the east, Day Creek Boulevard to the west, and Foothill Boulevard to the south -APN: 227-161-33 and 36; 227-201-33,35, and 36; 227-211-7, 28, 30, 39, and 40.

Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Brent Le Count The applicant presented the changes that had been made to the project since the July? 17, 2001 Design Review meeting. The Committee responded positively to many of the changes but expressed some remaining concerns as listed below. It was agreed that the applicant would . address the comments with a full set of plans and details to be presented to the Committee at a special meeting on November 27, 2001. Comments: 1. The frontage of the site on to Church Street at the northeast corner area of the site should be designed as sensitively as possible relative tosingle-family homes planned to the north. The Terra Vista Town Center frontage along Church Street provides an excellent example to this type of sensitive design. 2. The alignment of Shiraz Street through the Foothill Boulevard "out parcels" is acceptable but the Committee is concerned that two northbound lanes and only one southbound lane may not be sufficient. The traffic engineerfor the project (Mobility Group) was asked to explore the option of having two southbound lanes. 3. The Foothill Boulevard and Leggio "out parcels" shall be parked according to the standards contained in the Development Code. The parking ratios established forthe Mall properwill not apply to the out parcels. 4. The Committee is reluctant to accept less than 5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor area without more proof that this is viable. The applicant agreed to provide more documentation to justify the parking ratios requested (4.5 per 1,000 square feet for first 1,250,000 square feet and 4.25 per 1,000 square feet for floor area in excess of 1,250,000 square feet). The applicant will explore parking efficiencies such as valet parking and shuttling to furtherjustify the suggested parking ratios. 5. Parallel parking spaces are acceptable in limited areas to create asmall-scale downtown atmosphere. However, the Committee would like to see as much angles on street (private street) parking as possible. DRC COMMENTS DR 01-01 -FOREST CITY DEVELOPMENT November 6, 2001 Page 2 6. The concept presented for Arbor Lane with removed median and pedestrian pathways down either side with town homes fronting the street is acceptable. The Master Plan document should include as much detail as possible to convey this concept. The requested reduction in setbacks along Victoria Gardens Lane from 35 feet average, 25-foot minimum down to 22 feet will require very specialized landscape design treatment to justify. The Committee wishes to see a thoroughly developed concept for this prior to making a final decision. The Committee would prefer to see drive-thru businesses located only along the Foothill Boulevard frontage and not along Day Creek Boulevard as it functions as a gateway to the urban themed mall. n LJ DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS C1 NOVEMBER 6, 2001 PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no public comments at this time.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2001-00379 - KB HOME -The review of detailed site plan and building elevations for Tentative Tract 16263 consisting of 204 multi-familydwellings on 14.06 acres of land in the Medium-High Residential District (14-24 dwelling units per acre) of the Terra Vista Community Plan, located at the southeast cornerof Base Line Road and Ellena West-APN: 227- 151-34. Related file: SUBTT16263. Design Parameters: Tentative Tract 13272 is located in the northwest quadrant of the Terra Vista Community Plan. Surrounding land uses include Central Park Plaza (Neighborhood Commercial) located on the west side of Ellena West; a vacant parcel that is the site of Tract 15492 (Low Medium) approved January 2001 and now under construction located on the south side of Terra Vista Parkway; existing single homes (Low Medium) referred to as "Sorrento", and an existing town home development (Medium) referred to as "Northview" along the east boundary of the site; and, lying north of Base Line Road, existing single-family homes in the Victoria Planned Community (Low Medium). • The site is bound on the north by Base Line Road, on the west by Ellena West, and on the south by Terra Vista Parkway, all street are improved including pavement, curb and gutter. Sidewalks, trials, and landscaping will be required with project approval. The site slopes southerly at an approximate 2 percent gradient, there are no trees or significant vegetation left on the site due to years of disking and weed control. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion: The project is an attached town home-style project. Each dwelling has access to an attached 2-car garage. Private open space is provided through a combination of balconies and privately fenced ground-level rear-yard patio (minimum area 10 feet by 20 feet). The common open space is provided throughout the site within large open green play areas, walkways, two children's tot lots, bar-be-que/picnic nodes, and a pool and spa (refer to issue described below). The applicant has not proposed perimeter walls/fences along perimeter streets (except for patio privacy fencing, which is set back form the streetscape), which allows on-site landscaping to flaw with the parkway landscaping and maximum the landscape and open space opportunities. 2. The structures are designed using a European styling. The front and side elevations of the structures include a stone wainscot, and some windows include shutters. Additional detailing should be incorporated (refer to issues identified below) in order to more fully express the design theme. C~ DRC COMMENTS TT 16263 & DRC2001-00379 - KB HOME November 6, 2001 • Page 2 Design Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: Staff has discussed with the applicant the potential for relocation of the pool/spa area to a central location within the project. The applicant, however, has determined from marketing research, that although the residents of similar projects enjoy the availability of the pool/spa, the units immediately adjacent to the pool/spa area are the least desirable from a resident perspective. For this reason the applicant proposed the present location for the pool/spa to limit exposure to individual dwellings, and they like the open space window created along Terra Vista Parkway. The Committee should review the setting of the pool/spa and consider the appropriateness to the location for this particular project. 2. The architectural theme picks up elements that reflect a somewhat European theme; however, detailing should be expanded to incorporate all sides of the building and the entry courtyards. The design could incorporate mid-level banding details thatwould allowforcolor variation on the elevation; incorporate a more interesting variety of window trim details that are incorporated on all elevations; in some instances expand the use of the stone vertically on the elevation to create more dramatic entries columns; and other similar architectural design features. • Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee discuss and resolve the issues identified by staff and forward the project to the Planning Commission for review and approval. Design Review Committee Action: Member Present: Staff Planner: Debra Meier DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 6:00 p.m. Debra Meier November 6, 2001 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 16264 - KB HOME - A proposed tentative tract map consisting of 1-lot for condominium purposes and 1 lettered lot for ingress/egress, on 7.53 acres of land, within the Medium Residential District (8-14 dwelling units per acre) of the Terra Vista Community Plan, located on the south side of Mountain View Drive between Milliken Avenue and Terra Vista Parkway-APN: 227-151-32.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2001-00380 - KB HOME -The review of detailed site plan and building elevations for Tentative Tract 16264 consisting of 63single-family detached condominiums on 7.53 acres in the Medium Residential District (8-14 dwelling units per acre) of the Terra Vista Community Plan, located on the south side of Mountain View Drive between Milliken Avenue and Terra Vista Parkway -APN: 227-151-32. Related file: SUBTT16264. Design Parameters: The project is located in the northeast quadrant of.the Terra Vista Community Plan. Surrounding land uses include a vacant parcel that is the site of Tract 15492 (Low Medium) approved January 2001 and now under construction, which lies south of Terra Vista Parkway; the existing Montecito Apartments (Medium) along the west site boundary; and existing single-family residential development referred to as "Rosecrest" (Low Medium) along the east boundary; and vacant parcels (Medium and Medium-High) on the south side of the Greenway Corridor Trail. The north boundary of the site is formed by Mountain View Drive and the south boundary is formed by the existing Greenway linear park and trail. The east boundary will be formed by the development of a trail type D along the west boundary of "Rosecrest" (Tract 13303); and the east • boundary is adjacent to the Montecito apartments (Tract 13273). The site slopes gently from north to south at a 2 percent gradient. There are no trees or significant vegetation left on the site due to years of disking and weed control. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion: The project features asingle-family detached, zero-lot-line, condominium concept. Each unit has ground-level private open space located along the side of the home, with a minimum area of 10 feet by 25 feet. The front of the dwelling faces towards either a street or a common green space. Each unit has an attached 2-car garage, and most units also have the use of a parking space referred to on the plan as the "Hollywood" Drive (see issue identified below). Visitor parking is distributed around the project site. Common open space and amenities consist of common green space including pathways, a tot lot, a picnic and bar-be-que area, a turf play area, and resting nodes distributed along the interiors pathways. All private driveways will be scored or other decorative pavement texture, and walkways will be lead across interior streets using enhanced concrete patterns. The architectural theme is characterized by a craftsman/bungalow styling. All units feature a front porch, wood-lap siding, and array of details including window shutters, decorative wood corbels some include a decorative knee brace, brink veneer will be used on a percentage of units as options. Design Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion • regarding this project: 1. The Committee should review the "Hollywood" Drive concept. Staff believes this creates a street scene dominated by parked cars and garages. Further, it creates an unattractive entry to homes. DRC COMMENTS TT 16264 & DRC2001-00380 - KB HOME November 6, 1002 • Page 2 2. The Committee should consider requiring the use of the brick veneer "option" on a minimum of 20 percent of the units within the project. 3. The applicant should clarify for the Committee the treatment proposed along the 5-foot setback on the west property boundary. In many cases the existing garage within the adjacent apartment project has been built at the property line; this condition will require adaptable landscape material or vines to soften this condition. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee discuss and resolve the issues identified by staff and forward the project to the Planning Commission for review and approval. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Staff Planner: Debra Meier • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:00 p.m. Brent Le Count November 6, 2001 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 00-17 -CHEVRON - A request to construct a new 2,740 square foot service station with convenience market, drive-thru carwash and pump island on 1-acre of land in the Community Commercial District (Subarea 2) located on the south side of Foothill Boulevard west of Vineyard Avenue - APN: 207-211-12, and 13. The Design Review Committee reviewed the project on October 16, 2001 and requested that the project be redesigned in light of staffs comments and the following additional comments. The applicant agreed to make the requested changes and come back before the Committee for further review. The Committee will not require modification of the corporate Floor Plan or building plotting but is unwilling to accept Chevron signature architecture in this case as it conflicts with the proposed Design Guidelines, design goals for Foothill Boulevard, and the surrounding development. Incorporate architectural features, colors, and landscaping conforming to the proposed Design Guidelines that foster a winery theme. The revised building design incorporates more river rock veneer (manufactured), wood corbels, and exposed rafter tails all of which are elements of the winery theme and are consistent with the Design Guidelines but the overall building design has not changed substantially from the original submittal. While certain appropriate architectural features are • present, the building somehow misses the mark and is still very much a "corporate prototype"design based on a large stucco box. It does not conform to the sketches in the Design Guidelines for the Rodriguez master planned shopping center of which Chevron is a part. 2. Provide greater pop-out dimensions and column depth for wall features to foster a more substantial appearance similar to the concept drawings associated with the proposed Design Guidelines. Column projections/pop outs range from 8 inches to 11 inches away from the main wall surface. This is a nominal dimension at best and should be increased to something on the order of three feet to avoid a wallpapered or stuck-on appearance. Columns supporting overhead trellises are still spindly and should be substantially increased in width similar to the existing service station at the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue. Wall mounted treillage is proposed to be wooden and should be changed to minimum 2 inches member painted metal. 3. Restudy parking lot layout at the southeast corner of the site and to the south of the site per the sketch prepared by Nancy Fong, Senior Planner, and shown to the Committee and applicant (see copy attached) to avoid vast areas of asphalt paving and vehicle circulation conflicts. The driveway entrance at the southeast comer of the Chevron site has been reduced to 60 feet in width, which is acceptable. The parking field south of the site has been reconfigured but does not conform to Committee direction. The parking area should be revised per the attached sketch. The recommended modification results in a loss of 16 parking spaces but • there are 38 surplus spaces available so there would still be 22 surplus spaces after the modification. This is a nominal tradeoff considering the convenience and safety afforded by the recommended modifications. Eliminate starburst pattern from north/south driveway or restudy location to fit better with the Chevron Site Plan. DRC COMMENTS CUP 00-17 -CHEVRON November 6, 2001 . Page 2 Additional Comments: 1. Provide Crape Myrtle tree planting along the Foothill Boulevard frontage consistentwith the Foothill Boulevard Activity Center theme. 2. When the application was originally submitted, the existing mature treesjustwest of the site were to remain untouched. The current Site Plan shows these trees to be removed. The trees should be preserved if possible. These appear to be off-site trees so their removal should not be necessary. Permission from the property owner and a Tree Removal Permit will be necessary in order to remove the trees. - 3. Note that east facing doors and openings will be subject to excessive seasonal winds. Suggest a double door foyer to mitigate this. 4. Provide trim/surrounds with decorative profiles to accentuate archways/overhangs. This trim shall be of a different color than the main stucco field color. 5. Continue arched treatment from the tower to the other sides of the tower. 6. Windows should be multi-paned consistent with the proposed design guidelines for the center and to compliment the grid established by the wall-mounted trellises. • 7. The Engineering Division is willing to support the western driveway off of Foothill Boulevard subject to it being gated off to customer traffic. The gate shall be automatically operated so that it is open the minimum length of time for a gas delivery truck to exit the site and shall be made of decorative wrought iron framed with rock covered pilasters. Intensified landscaping shall be provided along the frontage of the site to conceal the existence of this driveway. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. All roof- and ground-mounted equipment shall be fully screened. The site sits well below the Albertson's site to the north, which will pose a design challenge for any roof-mounted equipment or satellite dishes. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be revised and brought back forfurther review.
