DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 5:30 p.m. Miki Bratt October 1, 1996 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 96-21 - BRADSHAW INTERNATIONAL -A request to construct a 208,000 square foot warehouse building on approximately 9.6 acres of land located on the southeast corner of Buffalo Avenue and San Marino Drive in the -General Industrial District (Subarea 13) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan - APN: 229-263-35. Background: The site is vacant, slopes to the south, and falls within 600 feet of the 1-15 Freeway view corridor. One significant grade change is proposed along San Marino Drive and another proposed along the southern perimeter of the site. Tilt-up box construction on a flat pad is proposed. 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: 1. Building Mass. The applicant has provided articulation to the building plane only on the east elevation. Additional articulation should be provided by "pop-out" treatment of the vertical design elements where they occur, particularly along San Marino Drive. 2. Architectural Details. In addition, the applicant has provided some design detail for the surface elements. Parapet height is varied on the south and east elevations and sand blasting and painted reveal lines provide variation. Sand blasted elements should have medium scoring. Painted reveal lines should be a minimum of two inches wide. Also, reveal lines are treated differently on three elevations, with three lines on the east and west elevations, two lines on the north elevation and one line on the south elevation. The three line design should be continued on all elevations. Further, the parapet variation with vertical sand blasted elements should be added to the south elevation. Spandral glass has been added to some of the "pop-out" elements consistent with the "vision glass' elements of the east elevation. The monotony of the north elevation would partially mitigated with the addition of spandral glass to each raised parapet element. 3. Screening. Perimeter fencing should fully screen the truck parking area from the public street through a combination of solid block wall, berm, and landscaping to the satisfaction of the City Planner. The proposed wrought iron gates should be changed to a view-obscuring material. Secondary Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. The slope between the south perimeter wall and the parcel to the south should be stabilized by irrigated landscaping if the slope is 2:1 or greater: A landscaping easement should be required and a Landscape Plan section should be provided which includes the south perimeter wall, landscape area, and all slope area. DRC COMMENTS DR 96-21 - BRADSHAW INT'L. October 1, 1996 Page 2 2. Roof equipment should be fully screened from the public street and from the 1-15 Freeway by adequate parapet height. The only roof mounted equipment proposed at this time are air conditioning units above the office area not to exceed 5 .feet in height. Line-of-sight sections indicate that the aforementioned units would be fully screened from all public streets and the 1-15 Freeway, Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval subject to the submittal of revised plans incorporating the above items. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Rich Macias, Larry McNiel, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Miki Bratt The Committee recommended that the applicant revise the development plans to address the design issues and submit for City Planner review prior to approval of the project. 1. Building Mass: To meet the requirement for two primary building materials and also the variation of the building plane, vertical "tower" elements will be "popped out" a minimum of 2 feet from the building face, surface treated with medium to heavy sand-blast finish, and spandral glass added to each tower element. Tower elements will be added to the north and east elevations. On the southeast corner elevation, the tower element may not need to "pop out" as determined by the City Planner. All tower elements shall be "wrapped" at the roof line to give the appearance of dimension. 2. Architectural Details: All other vertical elements shall be removed. Three horizontal reveal line stripes, 2 inches wide and painted blue, shall be carried around all four elevations. 3. Screening: Wrought-iron fencing a minimum of 5 feet high with dense landscape planting is required to screen the east and south property perimeters. The applicant shall submit details of the proposed dense landscaping concept for City Planner review. The concept plan shall include the selection of a fast-growing columnar tree species, and the density of the trees and shrubs.
