DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 5:30 p.m. Miki Bratt August 20, 1996 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 96-17 - MIMIS/WOHL RANCHO PARTNERS - A request to construct a 6,450 square foot restaurant on 2.41 acres of land located on the southeast comer of Foothill Boulevard and Spruce Avenue in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 7) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan - APN: 208-352-62. Related File: Preliminary Application Review 96-03. Design Parameters: The entire block has been approved for Community Commercial development which serves as an extension of the Haven/Foothill activity center. The proposed project is permitted in Subarea 7 under the Industrial Park definition and will precede completion of the Master Plan. The Master Plan is a pre-requisite for development of the remaining block under the Community Commercial designation. A Master Plan is under development (Preliminary Application Review 96-03) and the proposed project is planned to be compatible with future development and with the adjoining hotel. Background. On August 6, 1996, the Design Review Committee (Barker, McNiel, Fong) reviewed the subject application and requested that the Site Plan be revised and returned to the Committee for review of the pedestrian pathway. The revised site provides the service vehicle parking space and revised pedestrian pathway to the hotel site. The general alignment of the pathway is improved, but is still weak. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that pedestrian amenities including benches and additional decorative lighting be added to strengthen the pathway. Further, the hotel must consent to work on their site. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Rich Macias, Larry McNiel, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Miki Bratt Approval of the application is recommended to the Planning Commission with the condition that a satisfactory pedestrian pathway with amenities be provided between the restaurant and the hotel. The following concepts should be incorporated into the Site Plan and provisions incorporated into conditions of approval. 1. Align the drive entrance to Mimis with the drive entrance to the hotel and revise the Site Plan accordingly. DRC AGENDA DR 96-17 - MIMIS/WOHL RANCHO PARTNERS August 20, 1996 Page 2 2. The pedestrian pathway should extend from Foothill Boulevard to the hotel entrance in as near a straight line as possible and be marked by textured pavement. 3. Benches, landscaping, and lights shall be provided. 4. Textured pavement shall mark the intersection of the drive aisle with the hotel-Mimis entries. 5. The applicant shall pay for improvements on the hotel property at the southwest comer of the intersection of the drive aisle and the hotel drive entrance. Improvements on hotel property subject to approval by hotel owner. Improvement of the pedestrian path continuing south to the hotel entrance is desirable and recommended but should be paid for by the hotel and coordinated with aforementioned improvements.
