DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 6:30 p.m. Steve Hayes April 1, 1997 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 97-02 -CARL KARCHER ENTERPRISES - A request to construct a 3,050 square foot quick service restaurant with drive-thru on a 1.14 acre parcel within the Terra Vista Promenade Shopping Center, located on the north side of Foothill Boulevard, west of the extension of Masi Drive - APN: 227-151-44. Design Parameters: The site is a rough graded and hydroseeded pad along the Foothill Boulevard frontage within the Terra Vista Promenade Shopping Center. The pad is immediately west of the major signalized intersection into the shopping center off Foothill Boulevard, opposite the ARCO am/pm mini market that is currently under construction. Curb, gutter and sidewalk exist along the property frontage. No significant vegetation or natural features exist on the site. The site currently slopes from north to south at roughly 2 percent. 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. The Design Review Committee (McNiel, Macias, Fong) reviewed the preliminary Site Plan and building elevations on a courtesy basis at the request of the developer on December 3, 1996. At that time, the Committee recommended the following: a. The building should be re-oriented to be at an angle, consistent with the Master Plan for the Terra Vista Promenade Shopping Center (see attached Master Plan - Exhibit "A"). b. A tower element, similar to that used on the ARCO service station on the opposite side of the main drive aisle, should be integrated into the design of the building (see attached example - Exhibit "B"). C. The architectural concept should be revised to be more consistent with the Design Guidelines for the Terra Vista Promenade for satellite pad buildings (see attached example - Exhibit "C"). Staff believes that the angled "tower" elements are not significant enough to compensate for not angling the building and that the design of the towers themselves is not consistent with the design guidelines for the shopping center. Staff would recommend that the Site Plan and building elevations be revised further to be more consistent with the established design guidelines for the shopping center and the previous direction of the Design Review Committee. 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 stacked stone screen wall adjacent to the drive-thru lane should be extended in both directions to screen a larger portion of the drive-thru from view of Foothill Boulevard and the main driveway entrance into the shopping center. 2. The proposed design of the wood trellises appears to be consistent with those used within the shopping center. However, staff is concerned with how the trellises tie into the walls of the building. Staff would recommend that columns or an alternative support element be utilized adjacent to the building side of the trellis structures to give the appearance that they are freestanding structures. DRC COMMENTS CUP 97-02 - CARL KARCHER ENTERPRISES April 1, 1997 Page 2 I The column and pole for the clearance sign should be consistent in design with the building. Policv Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. Berming and hedges of evergreen landscape shrubs should be used in combination with the proposed screen wall to screen activities in the drive-thru lane from public view. 2. The proposed transformer should be completely screened from view by landscaping and/or walls. I The size and spacing of the trellis members should be consistent with those constructed throughout the shopping center. 4. Light fixtures should be consistent in design with those already used throughout the shopping center. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee direct the applicant to revise the plans accordingly consistent with the previous direction of the Committee. Once deemed acceptable to staff, then the project will be scheduled for further review of the Committee. Design Review Committee Action on March 18, 1997: Members Present: David Barker, Bill Bethel, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Steve Hayes The Committee did not recommended approval and requested that the project be redesigned to create a stronger design statement for this main entrance into the Terra Vista Promenade shopping center. The Committee expressed disappointment that the applicant had not responded to the recommendations of the Committee on December 3, 1996 on substantially the same design scheme. The Committee desired a tower element, similar to the scale, mass and detail of the ARCO service station on the opposite side of this main entrance. Attachment Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Bill Bethel, Rich Macias, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Steve Hayes The applicant presented revised plans which included a tile hip roof on tower and extended stacked stone screen wall. DRC COMMENTS CUP 97-02 - CARL KARCHER ENTERPRISES April 1, 1997 Page ") The Committee recommended revisions to the plans and that the item return to the Committee for further review. Recommended modifications are follows: 1. The tower element at the southeast comer of the building should be upgraded further to be more consistent in strength (mass) and detail, but not necessarily match, the tower used on the ARCO building across the main drive aisle. Suggested revisions were to match the ARCO tower height and provide eave overhang with exposed rafter tails. 2. A trellis should be incorporated on the south side of the building, over the sidewalk area. I Soften the north elevation with a landscape tree planer. 4. The amount of yellow color should be reduced on the north elevation. jL---- !nnim IN ----------- E5 II LEE,Z V- ti \ � U 1 � V 1 'i' j� I• y.1 \ 1 �i ++� /•, n /Z•rj L 11 ; Js J 'I j ZZD Ili i :.l. fin, i.11i "a. 3-A-Y -i---Tp 5-57 - - - - - - - - .41 ZIE E . ........... —C, p t FN —Ak most: ------------- DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:10 p.m. Steve Hayes April 1, 1997 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 97-01 - REITER - The proposed development of 9 industrial buildings totaling 82,252 square feet on 7.55 acres of land in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 17) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, located north of Foothill Boulevard on the east side of Center Street - APN: 1077-401-34. Design Parameters: The site is bounded by land zoned Industrial Park to the north, the Deer Creek Car Wash facility to the south, the Deer Creek Flood Control Channel and Regional Trail to the east and single family residences to the west. The southernmost portion of the 7.55 acre site is not proposed to be developed at this time; this area is shown to have two future buildings totaling 21,692 square feet. This portion of the parcel also falls under the Community Commercial designation within the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan and has been designed to comply conceptually with the applicable development standards. The site slopes gently from north to south at less than 2 percent. No structures, mature trees or other forms of significant vegetation exist on the property. 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. Staff has no major concerns with the basic Site Plan and architecture. The applicant has been working with staff for several months and has incorporated many of our suggestions into these plans. The proposed project has been designed to fit within the general design guidelines of the Industrial Park land use designation and has been designed to be sensitive to adjacent land uses, in particular the residential properties to the west where the highest degree of potential land use conflicts could occur. A significant building setback along Center Street, orienting all activities internal to the site and providing screening of these activities from view are shown to minimize any potential conflicts between adjacent land uses (45-foot setback required by Industrial Specific Plan). Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. An additional landscaped area should be provided on the east side of the parcel for Building 5, adjacent to the east property line (see attached sketch). 2. Berming, low walls, shrub hedges, or any combination thereof should be used in the streetscape areas along Center Street and "A" Street to screen parking areas from public view and to create visual interest along the streets. 3. The roof parapets should screen all potential roof-mounted mechanical equipment for future users. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee recommend approval of the project subject to conditions that will be incorporated into the design of the project. Attachment . t DRC COMMENTS DR 97-01 - REITER April 1, 1997 Page 2 Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Bill Bethel, Rich Macias, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Steve Hayes The applicant stated that windows were being added to the west elevations of both buildings facing Center Avenue. In addition, a wall will be constructed along the east property line. The Committee recommended approval of the project subject to the secondary and policy issues in the staff report being incorporated as Conditions of Approval for the project and the following: 1. A wrought iron gate with a knox box device or another device acceptable to the Rancho Cucamonga Fire District should be provided for emergency access purposes between the project area and the vacant property to the south. The location of the gate should be along the southern limit of development line and east of Building 6. 2. Add planter or vine pockets along east property line for Building 5, directly east of driveway.
