ADJOURNMENT DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS i 5:30 p.m. Rebecca Van Buren May 18, 1999 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-20 - FIELDSTONE COMMUNITIES - A request to add a new 3,522 square foot floor plan to the previously approved design review for 191 single family lots on 22 acres of land within Tract 15814 in the Low-Medium Residential district (4-8 dwelling units per acre) within the Victoria Vineyards Village of the Victoria Community Plan, located on the southwest corner of Highland and Rochester Avenues - APN: 227-011-09 and 13. Background: The Planning Commission approved a tentative map and design review for Fieldstone Communities in June of 1998. Premier Homes purchased 77 of the 191 lots and new house designs were approved in the southern portion of the tract earlier this month. Fieldstone, which is proceeding with construction of the remaining 114 lots, is requesting to add a larger floor plan to its selection of house products. The proposed floor plan is approximately 500 square feet larger than their approved product. Design Parameters: The tract will contain Fieldstone's house designs in the northern 114 lots and Premier Homes design in the southern 77 lots. Fieldstone currently has six floor plans which range in size from 2,262 to 3,014 square feet. Premier has two floor plans ranging from 2,507 to 3,125 square feet. Fieldstone would like to offer a larger plan, 3,522 square feet, in its"pick-a-lot"program. Fieldstone has shown plotting of this plan on the larger lots on the site in a generic footprint (which accommodates the proposed plan plus the previously-approved 2,648 square foot plan). Staff feels the larger plan only fits comfortably on 15 lots, but even these candidate lots would need to be "thinned out"to provide a diversity of floor plans along the streetscape. With these factors considered, the developer may have a total of 10 to 12 lots on which to offer the proposed larger floor plan. Staff has highlighted the 15 candidate lots on the full size plans distributed to the Committee (Lots 10, 12, 31, 32, 33, 50, 53, 67-73, & 93). 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: 1. Lots suitable for the 3,500+ square foot product should: a) Be at least 6,000 square feet in size; b) Not be a corner lot; and c) Contain ample rear yard, not constrained by slopes. 2. Elevations are too plain. Staff feels the larger product should contain more interesting wall planes and provide greater veneer/accent treatments. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee continue the project to allow the applicant to modify the elevations as recommended above. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: John Mannerino, Pam Stewart, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Rebecca Van Buren DRC COMMENTS DR 99-20 - FIELDSTONE COMMUNITIES May 18, 1999 Page 2 In response to staff's concerns, the applicant withdrew Elevation A (the all-stucco elevation). Discussion focused on Elevations B and C (brick and stone elevations). The Committee(Mannerino, Stewart, Fong) conceptually approved the new 3,522 square foot Floor Plan, and Elevations B and C only, subject to minor revisions to return on the next consent calendar: 1. Extend the front porch to a 7-foot depth at its narrowest point. 2. Add ornamentation to the chimney-pot. 3. Add craftsman=style detailing to the front entry gable roof. 4. Enhance the window/gable treatment above the garage on the front elevation. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 6:00 p.m. Tom Grahn May 18, 1999 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-03 - MASTERCRAFT HOMES -A review of the detailed site plan and building elevations for Phases 3 and 4 of Tract 14380, consisting of 38 single family lots in the Low Residential district (2-4 dwelling units per acre) of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan, located west of Etiwanda Avenue and north of Wilson Avenue - APN: 225-461-05 through 42. Design Parameters: The project site was initially approved as Tract 13527 which provided for the subdivision of 88 acres into 252 single family lots. Prior to tract recordation and design review, Tract 13527 was broken down into smaller tracts (e.g., Tracts 13527, 14379, 14380, 14381, and 14382). Tracts 14379 and 14380 have been recorded. Tract 14380 contains 80 single family lots, Phase 1 contains 20 lots and was approved through Development Review 96-27 and Phase 2 contains 22 lots and was approved through Development Review 98-11. Phase 2 is currently under construction. The architectural designs of the proposed project were previously reviewed by the Design Review Committee and subsequently approved by the Planning Commission. Development Review 96-27 was reviewed by the Committee on December 17, 1996, and subsequently approved by the Planning Commission on January 27, 1997. Development Review 98-11 was reviewed by the Committee on August 4, 1998, and subsequently approved by the Planning Commission on August 31, 1998. The current project, Development Review 99-03 (Phases 3 and 4 of Tract 14380), will utilize the four floor plans and various elevations previously approved for the project. The design includes both single- and two-story units which range in size from 2,820 to 4,143 square feet. The four floor plans have three elevations each that were designed to reflect the architectural styles of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan(see attached exhibits). Architectural styles include: Ranch, Bungalow,San Juan,Santa Barbara, and Country. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. 1. Because the project will utilize architectural elevations approved with related applications, the distribution of material provides only the proposed Grading Plan for the project site. Maior Issues: There are no design issues associated with the current development application. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of Development Review 99-03. Attachment Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: John Mannerino, Pam Stewart, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Tom Grahn The Committee reviewed the project and recommended approval subject to the following: The elevations utilized for Development Review 99-03 are the same elevations used on the previous application, Development Review 98-11. These elevations have not been revised to reflect the comments from the previous application's Design Review Committee meeting,so the same comments were incorporated into this projects design. r DRC COMMENTS DR 99-03 - MASTERCRAFT HOMES May 18, 1999 } Page 2 1. Provide a hip roof element above the bathroom window projection on the second floor of the Plan 4 elevation. 2. Provide shutters on the front elevation of Plan 46. 3. Revise the openings on the turret element of the Plan 4A elevation. i ]NdM113 d N011dr 13 id r V -_ t�cGa3ts�4v l NV-1d I ' r t rri I ► i , , ►?t�.,, i 111 �� 8 I. yr}tit ill l uil. 1 o j :{ti; 1 w I I A .ii;:a I!f �n w i t, I wi I�Y �• I — . .. . ... .. . .... . . . ....., ... .

Since that time, the final tract map has been recorded but the design review approval has expired. The applicant is seeking approval of a new design review with different home designs than previously approved. A key issue with the previous approval was a contention by an existing homeowner to the north of the subject site, that the home plotted on the lot below her would unfairly block her view and degrade her privacy. Design Parameters: The 3.84 acre site is vacant and void of improvements beyond previous rough grading. The site is surrounded to the west, north, and east by single family homes and to the south by a flood control right-of-way. The site slopes from north to south at approximately 6 percent. Three home plans are proposed ranging in size from 2,580 to 2,864 square feet, each with three elevation styles. All three home plans are proposed to be two story with a maximum height of 26 feet (to roof ridge). Views of the valley from existing homes to the north are not expected to be substantially affected by the proposed homes as the finished floor elevations of the existing homes to the north are 15 to 16 feet higher than the finished floor elevations of the proposed homes. All of the existing homes to the north are two story. 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. All of the homes are proposed to have three-car, front-on garages. At least one of the three home plans.should be revised to have side-on garages to avoid having garages dominate the street scene. Garage door surfaces should be staggered/offset for front-on garage plans. 5. Upgrade Elevation C on all floor plans.which lack architectural style and detailing. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues. 1. Upgrade elevations through use of color variation, adding decorative stone wainscoting, and more extensive trim elements to provide more visual interest. 2. Carry more decorative elements used on front elevation, such as shutters, trim, and window cutups around to the side and rear elevations as well. 3. Provide greater variation in the front yard setback for homes on Lots 12 through 16. 4. Provide more trees in front yard areas. 5. A 37-foot minimum average front setback is required. The proposed homes respect a 38-foot average setback with homes on Lots 6 and 9 respecting 35- and 32-foot setbacks respectively. While this meets the letter of the law, the Committee should discuss whether this is an acceptable solution from an aesthetic standpoint. DRC COMMENTS DR 99-17 - WALKER May 18, 1999 Page 2 Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion. 1. Fieldstone veneer shall be natural stone rather than a cultured stone product. Other stone veneer forms, such as slate, may be manufactured product. 2. Corner side yard walls, between home walls (not along interior property line), perimeter walls along south and west tract boundaries, and retaining walls shall be decorative masonry consistent with that used in the neighborhood. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be revised and return as a Consent Calendar item. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Mannerino, Stewart, Fong Staff Planner: Brent Le Count The Committee recommended that the project be redesigned and returned for further review by the Committee.

Any trees that are damaged or removed shall be replaced at a ratio of 1:1 regardless of size or species. 9. It is acknowledged that the offsite landscape screen along the south side of the Building B site is temporary and may be removed upon build out of the southern parcel fronting Arrow Route. 10. Provide very dense landscaping in front of both buildings and screen walls to screen truck loading area behind. 11. Provide dense tree planting along the east property line to augment screening of truck loading/circulation from Quakes Stadium. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS Brent Le Count ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 99-04- LOW E'S -A request to build a 128,997 square foot Lowe's Home Improvement store including a 50,196 square foot garden center and two future restaurant pads on 17.17 acres of land in Subarea 7 (Industrial Park) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan,located at the southeast corner of Milliken Avenue and Foothill Boulevard - APN: 229-011-32. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Rich Macias, Larry Henderson Staff Planner: Brent Le Count The Committee (McNiel, Macias, Henderson) reviewed the project and recommend approval subject to the following: 1. Provide vine planting around entire building per conceptually approved plans. 2. Provide enhanced landscaping along the north side of the building to compliment building architecture and enhance the pedestrian experience. 3. Provide sufficient design amenities such as a tower element or trellis structure with fountain or artwork at the terminus of the main north/south drive aisle from Foothill Boulevard. This will satisfy two design goals consisting of: a) visual focal..point aligned with the main Foothill driveway access and b)provide pedestrian-oriented elements that create a sense of place. Any future art work shall be subject to review and approval of the detailed plans by the Design Review Committee prior to installation. These elements must be submitted for consideration at the Planning Commission meeting on May 26, 1999. 4. Provide decorative paving for all driveway entrances. Entire stretch of main north/south driveway entrance from Foothill Boulevard shall have decorative paving to the first east/west driveway intersection. 5. The wall sign letters shall not exceed 5 feet in height. 6. The cart corral on the front of the building shall be designed to avoid conflict with any adjacent artwork or landscape features and shall be large enough to avoid accumulation of carts outside corral. 7. Provide substantial landscaping enhancement within the landscape finger along the north side of Milliken Avenue driveway entrance. Landscaping shall be designed to preclude pedestrian traffic through planter. 8. Provide samples of the garden center fencing for Planning Commission review on May 26, 1999. Provide alternative materials as use of standard chain link type products will not likely be acceptable. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 8:30 p.m. Nancy Fong May 18, 1999 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-21 - MASI COMMERCE CENTER PARTNERS -The design review of the detailed site plan and elevations for three buildings totaling 69,354 square feet within the Masi Plaza, a previously approved, mixed-used development master plan, in the Industrial Park District, Subarea 7, of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, located at the northeast corner of Masi Drive and Sebastian Way - APN: 229-011-45, 46, 50, and 61. Design Parameters: Exhibit "A" shows the version of a previously approved master plan that is still valid. Exhibit"B" shows a version of the master plan with a theater and ice and roller rinks, where the approval has lapsed. The applicant proposed to follow through with the development of the remaining three buildings within this main commercial component of the master plan. He stated that Building 11(formerly the theater pad) is designed for a specific tenant, 24-Hour Fitness Center; however, the other two buildings are for speculative commercial/office uses. The floor area for Building 11 is 42,000 square feet, Building 12A and 126,combined, is 13,484 square feet,and Building 16 is 12,870 square feet. The applicant processed Conditional Use Permit 99-22 to establish the proposed fitness center, and it was subsequently approved by the City Planner on May 11, 1999. The majority of the public improvements such as curb, gutter, and sidewalk; driveways; drainage facilities; street trees; and street lights are in. The site is rough graded with no vegetation other than weeds. 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. 1. Based on the existing and proposed uses, the number of parking spaces required is 934 and the number of parking spaces provided is 877. Exhibit "C" is a table showing the detailed parking calculations. The site is short 57 parking spaces. The applicant is aware of the shortfall and has agreed to reduce the square footage of Building 16 to comply with the parking requirements. The detailed site plan must be revised to show compliance. 2. Staff commends the applicant in providing a large plaza area in front of Building 11. Staff believes that this plaza area should be enhanced with following improvements as well as designed to address the Santa Ana winds: a. Break up the large expanses of hardscape with additional large landscape areas planted with pedestrian scale trees, raised planters with seating benches similar to existing ones in the center, etc. b. Add pedestrian-scale amenities such as, but not limited to: street furniture, light fixtures, fountains, large free-standing potted plants, etc. C. Provide a row of 5- by 5-foot planter areas (palm trees) and space equally along the edge of the driveway curb for a formal entry design. In between the row of palm trees should be another row of pedestrian-scale trees. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues. 1. Site Plan DRC COMMENTS DR 99-21 - MASI May 18, 1999 Page 2 a. Provide additional landscape areas to the northeast side of Building 12A because the main driveway from Foothill Boulevard terminates here. b. Provide additional landscape areas to the back side of Building 12A because it is subject to view from Sebastian Way. C. All drive aisles should intersect at 90 degrees and meet the Fire Department turning radius. d. Although the master plan design at the south side of Sebastian Way is not part of this application review, staff found that the street landscape setback does not meet the 25-foot requirement. e. Relocate the transformer from the Masi Drive street setback to an area on the site that is away from public view and screen. f. Provide a pedestrian connection from the south parking area to the main building entry of Building 11. 2. Elevations: The proposed elevations of the three buildings continue the same architectural theme established in Masi Plaza. However, staff recommends the design be improved with the following: a. Provide additional architectural treatment to the north elevation of Building 11 such as, but not limited to, pulling out the columns and creating a colonnade for additional articulation to the building plane and adding concrete trim along the lower edges of the tower element of the main building entry. b. Increase the depth of the columns to enhance the articulation of the south and west elevations of Building 11. C. Enhance the south elevations of Buildings 12A and 12B because they are subject to view from Sebastian Way. Enhance the north elevation of Building 12A because the main driveway from Foothill Boulevard terminates at the northeast side of the building. d. Repeat the same storefront window mullion pattern (the upper portion) as existing for Buildings 12A, 126, and 16. e. Increase the depth of the columns for Building 16 and the south elevation of Buildings 12A and 12B. f. Use full-round columns instead of half-round for the tower elements- Buildings 12A, 12B, and 16. 3. Landscaping a. The landscape plan is incomplete and parts are inconsistent with the site plan. The applicant agrees to work with staff is in addressing and resolving this issue. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion. DRC COMMENTS DR 99-21 - MASI May 18, 1999 Page 3 1. The trash enclosures shall follow the commercial standard which is with overhead trellis consistent with the ones existing. 2.

Nancy Fong May 18, 1999 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 99-26-SAV-ON AND LEWIS OPERATING CO. - The development of a 14,900 square foot drug store with drive-thru facility on approximately 1.7 acres of land within the Terra Vista Town Center, in the Community Commercial District of the Terra Vista Community Plan, located at the southeast corner of Haven Avenue and Town Center Drive - APN: 1077-421-87. Design Parameters: The site is part of the Terra Vista Town Center and was previously approved for a design center/office complex as shown in Exhibit "A." It is approximately 9.8 acres. The developer proposes to develop a portion of the site with a drive-through Sav-On drug store. He has provided a master plan concept for the remainder of the area, including the proposed Target expansion that is coming soon. The site is rough graded and has been used for temporary community special events, such as a circus. 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. 1. In reviewing the original master plan for Terra Vista Town Center, the developer promised the Planning Commission that the design would not include drive-thru fast food restaurants. The proposed master plan for the remainder of the center now shows a building pad for a drive-thru. Is the building pad with a drive-thru acceptable? 2. The master plan concept lacks the sophistication of Terra Vista Town Center. This is because the orientation of the buildings, parking area, alignment of drive aisles, and access points do not provide a hierarchy of design relationship,a focal point,or strong pedestrian promenade linkages which are the signature of the center. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues. 1. Sav-On Site Plan a. Provide strong northward pedestrian connection from existing Building A to project site with pedestrian amenities consistent with existing design. b. Provide pedestrian walkways at project entry from public sidewalk off Haven Avenue to project site. C. Provide pedestrian connection from Sav-On to public sidewalk at the corner of Haven Avenue and Town Center Drive. 2. Sav-On Elevations. The building design shows elements of the architectural theme established in Terra Vista Town Center. The following recommendations would enhance the design. a. Change the window mullion pattern for the building entry to be consistent with the ones in the center. b. Eliminate the fur-out band at the west elevation. DRC COMMENTS CUP 99-26 - LEWIS & SAV-ON May 18, 1999 Page 2 C. Add light fixtures (up and down lights) on all elevations at key architectural elements such as towers and columns. d. Repeat the architectural treatment at the south side of the west elevation to the east side of south elevation, and at the north and south sides of east elevation. e. Change the proposed white color plaster to a darker shade consistent with some of the colors that exist in the center. The mix of lighter and darker shades is acceptable. f. Use the same shape and material of columns as existing ones for the tower entry. 3. Landscaping a. Expand size of landscape planter areas at the project entry off Haven Avenue, the planter areas from the north side of Building A (two-story building) and across the drive aisle, and at the northwest and southwest sides of the Sav-On building. Add enhanced hardscape and landscape. b. Increase the width of the planter areas next to the south elevation and the row of parking spaces south of the Sav-On building. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion. 1. All colors and materials such as, but not limited to: random stacking of tiles, wainscot, plaster pattern, cornice, corbels, street furniture, and hardscape design are to match existing center. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval with the condition that the master plan be revised to address the design issues and submitted for further Committee review before the submittal of plan check for Sav-On. Staff recommends approval of proposed Sav-On project with the above- identified issues placed as condition of approval. Attachments Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Rich Macias, Larry Henderson Staff Planner: Nancy Fong The Committee did not recommend approval of the master plan concept; however, they did agree to review the master plan concept in conjunction with the expansion of the Target Store which is coming soon. The Committee also directed the applicant to work with staff in reducing the curve of the main entry off of Town Center Drive, prior to Planning Commission review. The Committee recommended approval of the Sav-On portion of the proposed project with the condition that the applicant address the identified secondary issues. The applicant agreed. .� Few SITE `-1 9 � i \ Q r:EArEn I c 4 Cf st cn CENTER`f ICE COr+�Ex , Ili ` –--------------------- ---J- MAJ0n.2 I—t – I U`r ,; I r,A Jon-; PnOPasEO rAnGEr 1 l I U n C MA JO(I.} �-- Q � MA JOn A AT J � l..a I �� � I C G ....—.G r��l 'I• T L c � f� � � Z-c t5rfi� 61 T DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS May 18, 1999 PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no public comments at this time.
