DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 6:00 p.m. Tom Grahn February 18, 1997 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 96-27 - MASTERCRAFT HOMES - A review of the detailed Site Plan and building elevations for Phase 1 of Tract 14380, consisting of 25 single family lots in the Low Residential designation (2-4 dwelling units per acre) of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan, located on the west side of Etiwanda Avenue, to the north and south of North Overlook Drive - APN: 225-451-39 to 58 and 225-461-57 to 60. Project History: This project was previously reviewed by the Design Review Committee on three separate occasions and approved by the Planning Commission on January 22, 1997. At the initial Design Review Committee meeting, the applicant was directed to revise the elevations by incorporating additional design elements (e.g., shutters, exposed rafter tails, break up roof lines, etc.) and to provide additional siding on the side and rear elevations when siding is used as a significant element on the front elevation. The applicant revised their elevations to incorporate additional design features, but did not significantly revise the use of siding. At the following Committee meetings the applicant was directed to revise their use of siding based upon previous comments, but prior to the Planning Commission meeting the use of siding was eliminated from the selected elevations. Based upon previous direction by the Committee, staff included a condition of approval to provide additional siding on.selected elevations. This condition requires the Committee's review and approval prior to issuance of building permits. The condition was not appealed. The elevations have not been revised since the project was reviewed by the Planning Commission. The applicant will be prepared to discuss their project to justify how the elevations were revised through the design process and to demonstrate how their project meets City policy. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Major Issues: The staff report for the January 22, 1997, Planning Commission meeting identified that the use of siding should be included on the front, side, and rear elevations of the following plans so that siding appears as a primary architectural feature. The following elevations were recommended for revision: Plan I "Ranch" Plan 2 "Country" Plan 3 "Ranch" Plan 4 "Ranch" Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that additional siding be provided per the condition of approval.

Background: The Design Review Committee last reviewed the project on February 4, 1997, where the Committee directed the applicant to have a specific roof plan and possible architectural enhancements for the proposed roof parapet available for review at the next meeting. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion: At the time of comment preparation, the requested roof plan had not yet been received by staff. An oral presentation will be provided at the meeting. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee forward the project to the Planning Commission for their consideration at the February 26, 1997 meeting. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Staff Planner: Steve Hayes Attachment DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 8:30 p.m. Steve Hayes February 4, 1997 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 95-25 - RODRIGUEZ - A request to construct a 2900 square foot drive-thru facility and a 5548 square foot restaurant on 3.7 acres of land in the Community Commercial designation of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, located at the southwest comer of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue - APN: 207-211-12 and 13. Background: The Design Review Committee last reviewed the project on December 30, 1996, where the Committee directed the applicant to work with staff to resolve site planning and architectural issues associated with the Burger King and Zendejas restaurants. The item was then scheduled for the January 14, 1997 meeting with the understanding that the plans could be revised in a timely manner to allow staff and the Committee ample opportunity to review the revised plans prior to the meeting. Given that the plans did not arrive until after an item on the meeting had already started, the Committee did not have time to review the plans and therefore; did not formally review the project on January 14th. Comments from these most recent Design Review Committee meetings have been attached for your convenience. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion: I. The revised plans should be reviewed to determine if the direction from the two most recent Design Review Committee meetings has been adequately followed by the applicant. Specific issues are as follows: a. Signage for the Burger King has been reduced in size to be consistent with the new Jack in the Box at Foothill Boulevard and Masi Drive, but the location of the sign should be removed from the proposed roof screen element; b. The roof screen on the Burger King has been changed from a wood sided to a stucco element to be more consistent with the building architecture; C. No information regarding the roof equipment and plan has been submitted to staff at the time of preparation of these comments. An oral update regarding this issue will be discussed at the meeting; d. Street dimensions still require correction as deemed necessary by the Engineering Division; and e. Revised grading plans had not yet been submitted the time of comment preparation, any oral comments regarding the grading plan will be discussed at the meeting. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that, if the Committee generally finds the revised site plan and building elevations consistent with the direction given to the applicant at the previous meetings, then staff would recommend that the Design Review Committee recommend approval of the project to the Planning Commission with Conditions. Attachment DRC AGENDA CUP 95-25 - RODRIGUEZ February 4, 1997 Page 2 Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: William Bethel, Rich Macias, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Steve Hayes The Design Review Committee directed the applicant to return to the Committee on February 18, 1997 with a specific roof plan that show all of the necessary roof mounted mechanical equipment and a more detailed solution for the roof screen parapet.
