Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Mike Smith The Committee approved the project as presented. • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 7:15 p.m. Doug Fenn July 16, 2002 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2002-00218 -RIDGE REALTY GROUP - A request to construct a 193,863 square foot industrial building on 8.46 acres of land in the General Industrial District (Subarea 14), located west of Santa Anita Avenue and north of 4th Street - APN: 229-331-04 and 221-321 and 13. Design Parameters: The site is located on Santa Anita Avenue, approximately 620 feet north of 4 Street. The site is vacant and slopes southerly at approximately 2 percent. The site is bordered on the south by vacant land; to the north is industrial use (Pacer Technology). To the east cross Santa Anita Avenue are two industrial uses (Russell-Stanley and Harco properties Inc.). To the west of the project site is the Day Creek Flood Control Channel. The applicant proposes to develop asingle-tenant warehouse/distribution building with an office area at the southeast corner of the building. The office area is 3,000 square feet and at the northeast corner of the building is elevation that mirrors the architecture of the office portion of the warehouse building. The building's loading area will face south.. The portion of the building that fronts onto Santa Anita Avenue is richly landscaped and the strongest architectural detailing faces the avenue. The building incorporates two primary materials. The building will be concrete tilt-up painted crystal ball gray, silver chime, and stonewall (decorative accent color). Sandblasting is added as a second primary material to accent the office portion of the building. The project incorporates a reflective . glazing at the office areas to create a contrast. The building has strong 360-degree architectural detail. 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: Staff is pleased with the outcome of the project. The applicant has addressed all of Staff's earlier major issues. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: A screen wall minimum of 3 feet high should surround the eating area. 2. Locate the bicycle parking closer to the office entrances of the building. 3. All wall-mounted light fixtures shall have light pointed downwards. Wall-pak type of light fixtures that produce glare must be avoided. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: • 1. Paint roll-up doors and service doors to match main building colors. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval subject to the revisions noted above. DRC COMMENTS DR DRC2002-00218 • July 16, 2002 Page 2 Design Review Committee: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Doug Fenn The applicant addressed all of the secondary issues and the Committee recommended approval of the project. • • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 7:35 p.m. Brent Le Count July 16, 2002 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-64 MODIFICATION -CCWD - A request to modify the exterior elevations and wall treatment for the previously approved Cucamonga County Water District 32,200 square foot warehouse and 9,999 square foot vehicle maintenance facility on 5 acres of land in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 17) located at 10440 Ashford Street-APN: 1077-401-01, 11, 12, and 13. Background: The Design Review Committee reviewed and recommended approval of the project design on December 19, 2000. The project design utilizes an exterior building material called "shot block" that is a concrete masonry unit blasted with metal shot to give provide a rusticated surface. This is the same material that was used on the CCWD Administrative Office building located just easterly of the subject project. The Water District is attempting to "value engineer" the approved project to reduce the cost of construction. To that end, there are several exterior changes proposed including changing the shot block material to precision block. Design Review Committee recommendations on this item will be forwarded to the City Planner due to the scope of the project. Request: The Water District proposes the following modifications to the project design listed below. The plans for the revisions contain a number of perspective views of the site from various vantage points. The perspectives are labeled "O" and "N"for "Old" and "New." Staff suggestions are listed below each requested modification in italics. 1. Change the "shot block" on the north, west, east, and part of the south elevations of the • warehouse building and all elevations of the vehicle maintenance building to precision block. The curved walls facing directly south on the warehouse building would remain with shot block and these walls would project beyond the corner points such that the precision block/shot block joint occurs just behind the projection. Staff does not recommend the use of precision block as proposed. An alternative however could be to change out the entire building(s) to split face block, keeping the horizontal band pattern in-place. The curved canopies along the north side of the warehouse building and the south side of the vehicle maintenance building are proposed to be eliminated. Staff agrees that the elimination of these canopies will primarily affect users of the site, that is CCWD employees and contractors so this modification will not have a significant impact on the appearance of the building from the street. 3. The sloped standing seam metal roof and the dimensional mullions on the office/entry portion of the warehouse building (east side) have been replaced with a flat roof with parapet and mullions flush with the window surface. The change out of the roof from standing seam metal to flat with parapet is relatively minor, as the parapet will cover the flat roof area. The change out of the dimensional mullions however, while a matter of detail, will affect the quality of the office area. Staff does not recommend reducing the depth of the window mullions. 4. The sloping curved wall at the southwest corner of the warehouse building has been . changed to a three-step wall though the curve is preserved. Evidently, it will be easier and cheaper to build three walls each of a different height instead of one continuous wall with a tapered or sloped top/height. The revised wall design is satisfactory. DRC COMMENTS DR 00-64 MODIFICATION - CCW D • July 16, 2002 Page 2 5. The landscaping along the front of the building (north side of Ashford Street) is approved to have low metal covered retaining walls that follow gentle arcs suggesting water or waves. These walls are proposed to be removed and replaced with meandering berms. While the low walls made an artistic statement, it can be argued that landscaped meandering berms provide a sufficiently aesthetic frontage treatment. Staff is not opposed to this revision. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee not approve the requested change from shot block to precision block, that the window mullions on the office portion of the building remain dimensional, and that all other requested modifications be approved. Design Review Committee: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Brent Le Count The Committee approved the request subject to staff's comments with the following additional comments: 1. It is acceptable to utilize gray precision block on the north, east, and west elevations of the . warehouse building so long as the overall pattern of dark bands is maintained and the texture and color of the block exactly match the Orco sample block shown to the Committee at the meeting. The applicant is to prepare a moch upon-site for review by staff to ensure the right block is used. 2. It is acceptable to leave the window mullions on the east elevation of the administrative office portion of the warehouse building flat as proposed. The applicant agreed to the comments. • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 7:55 p.m. Emily Wimer July 16, 2002 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT SUBTT16332 - STONEBRIDGE - The development of 22 single-family lots on 14.98 acres in the Very Low Residential District (1-2 dwelling units per acre), located generally on the east side of Hermosa Avenue, and north side of Hillside Road -APN: 1074-241-03 and 01. Design Parameters: Surrounding land uses include single-family homes to the north, east, and southwest of the project site. To the north is Tract 16193, Empire Homes, which is under construction. Sidewalks, trails, and landscaping will be required with project approval. The site slopes southerly at an approximate 4 percent to 8 percent grade and is subject to hillside review with the submittal of house product. There is no home product proposed with the subdivision at this time. The project meets the minimum lot depth of 200 feet and exceeds the minimum lot size net average of 22,500. On the west property line a Eucalyptus windrow of approximately 14 trees exist. Both the northern and western property boundaries are lined with Eucalyptus trees. The majority of windrows will be preserved. The applicant has worked diligently with staff to preserve the majority of the trees, and place the trail at the top of slope. Replacement of all other trees will be required on-site at a one-to-one ratio. Public Community Trails are proposed along both street frontages within expanded parkways. Local feeder trails are proposed to the rear of all lots 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: Lots 17 and 18 do not comply with the 70-foot corral setback based upon the house footprints shown (see attached Exhibit). This is caused by their rear yard to side yard orientation to Lot 16. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. On all lots the proposed corral locations are within the 12-foot bench located at the top of the slope, next to the trail. This setback is clear from the recommended minimum of 30 feet corral setback from home. Since the Trails Committee prefers a bench at the top of slope, the applicant provided conceptual bench locations. The applicant will provide conceptual corral locations at the meeting. 2. The house pad areas have been revised to show house footprints. No homes are proposed with this application; however, all front yard setbacks show the same distance of 42 feet. The setback should be varied at least 5+/-feet. This is mentioned only for the information of the developer to consider when designing their detailed lot layout. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: • 1. Blue Gum Eucalyptus trees, which are recommended bythe Arborist to be removed, shall be replaced at a one-to-one ratio on-site. The length of the windrow replacement shall be comparable in length. Replacement windrows should follow the project perimeter and along the 330-foot by 660 foot grid pattern wherever feasible.

ADJOURNMENT DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 7:00 p.m. Emily W imer July 2, 2002 DRC2001-00805- KARUBIAN- Development of 2 industrial buildings totaling 199,624 square feet in the Industrial District (Subarea 9), generally located at the southwest corner of W hite Oak Avenue and Jersey Boulevard - APN: 209-914-311. Design Parameters: The project site is generally located 400 feet west of the southwest corner of White Oak Avenue and Jersey Boulevard. The total site area is 9.21 acres of land in the Industrial District. The surrounding area is in the Industrial District with warehouse buildings to the east and west with the railroad spur abutting the south side. Jersey Boulevard abuts the property on the north side with a portion of the site being used for outdoor storage by the adjacent property owners. The site slopes less than two percent to the south. The proposed project is a speculative industrial building targeting warehouse and distribution tenant with limited office space. A total of 12 loading docks will be provided at the south and east elevation of the building. A total of 5 future truck parking spaces are proposed. Finish materials for the building exterior will include sandblasting, Greylite glass and black anodized aluminum framing. A building accent color will also be incorporated as small squares along all four sides of the buildings. The two-building layout incorporates 4 plaza areas, which all provide for outdoor eating and additional bench seating, raised planters and shade trees. 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: As a material to accent the building entry/tower element, a striated texture should be used instead of the color band #3. This modification will meet the requirement for two major exterior materials. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: Future knock out dock doors are proposed at a total of 10 additional doors. Proposed parking and loading for the site will only accommodate 5 additional doors. This should be reflected in the parking plan. If additional doors are to be added, parking is required atone 14-foot by 50-foot space for every loading dock. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: Signage for the building is conceptual only, and not a part of this approval. The applicant shall apply for the approval separately during plan check. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the project with incorporation of the modifications. • DRC COMMENTS DRC2001-00805- KARUBIAN • July 2, 2002 Page 2 Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Emily W imer The Design Review Committee approved the project subject to the above conditions.

Related files: SUBTT162334, LLA 524, SUBTT16051, DR 99-48. Design Parameters: This proposal is the logical extension of Tract 16051, which is under construction at the northeast corner of Base Line Road and Rochester Avenue. As part of Tract 16051, two stub streets were provide to continue the single family neighborhood to vacant land bordering the unused Pacific Electric railroad right-of-way, which is soon to be developed as a multi-purpose regional trail. The developer of Tract 16051 has acquired the land for Tentative Tract 16334 and is proposing to continue a similar tract design and build 38 homes using the same house models built in Tract 16051. • 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: None As stated above, the tract layout is a continuation of the neighborhood street layout approved for Tract 16051. The street alignments are similar to the examples included in the master plan concept provided with the previous Tract design (16051). Staff believes the design is appropriate arid will be an ideal expansion to the area's Low-Medium character. The applicant is proposing to build 38 single-family homes, using the same model types (style, colors and materials) approved for Tract 16051. Again, staff believes this approach will ensure the best possible architectural compatibility between the existing neighborhood and the development extension. In addition, the applicant is proposing to provide enhanced elevation features (shutters) on those houses that bacWside on to the future Pacific Electric trail along the north boundary, as well as those along Rochester Avenue and local streets. The enhanced elevations should be a condition of approval at the above listed locations. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: • 1. Lot "A" is proposed as a point of access to the future trail system bordering the north side.of the project. The access trail will also include drainage facilities for the area immediately - north of the tract. Staff recommends that landscaping be provided for this area to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. To avoid creating a tunnel affect with solid walls/fences along each side of the trail, staff recommends that the side property lines of Lots 17 and 18 adjacent to Lot "A" be provided with 6-foot tubular steel fencing with masonry columns. U DRC COMMENTS TTM SUBTT16334 & DRC2002-00223 -RICHMOND AMERICAN HOMES July 2, 2002 Page 2 2. One change that staff recommends is that shutters be added to the second floor window on the enhanced left elevations of Plans 3A, B, C, and D. This will present a more decorative side above any wall/fence line. Also, this condition should apply to windows on the right side elevations on those lots designated for enhanced architectural treatment. Flag Lots 36 and 37, at the end of Gainsborough Court share a common driveway apron. A short distance beyond the right-of-way line the common driveway divides into two private drives, one for each lot. Staff believes this is an acceptable arrangement. Each lot will have a substantial part of the private access on each lot. This should avoid most property owner conflicts with a minimal shared entry area. Staff recommends the following measures, to enhance and reinforce the property division, be included as conditions: A continuous 6-foot wide (3 feet on each side of the property line) landscaped planter should be provided along the common property line to the point where the two driveways merge. A decorative 6-foot block wall should be located along the common property line to a point 15 feet from the end of the planter (The Committee may wish to consider combination wall and tubular steel fence for the six foot portion to reduce the amount of wall area facing the home fronts.). Also, a decorative 2-foot garden wall shall be provided an additional 10 feet beyond the southern end of the 6-foot wall. • c. The developer shall provide plantings and an individual irrigation system from each house to its respective side of the common property line planter. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: Provide larger side yard setback (i.e., 10-12 feet minimum) on garage side of lot to allow RV storage. Substantially vary front yard setbacks, and footprint orientation. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee forward the projects to the Planning Commission subject to incorporation of the items listed above. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Alan Warren The Design Review Committee recommended approvaln subjectto the above-listed comments with the following amendment: The side property lines of Lots 17 and 18, adjacent to Lot A, shall be provided with 6-foot decorative masonry walls with climbing vines planted along the Lot A side. • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • JULY 2, 2002 PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no public comments at this time.
