ADJOURNMENT • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 1 7:00 p.m. Debra Meier July 18, 2000 DESIGN REVIEW 99-13 MODIFICATION—LEWIS APARTMENT COMMUNITIES-Modification to the recreation area of Tentative Tract 16000, including site plan and building elevations for Leasing Building and Recreation Building, and the addition of a Fitness Building. Background: The Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract 16000 and accompanying Deign. Review 99-13, located in Terra Vista north of Church Street and west of Spruce Street, on July 14, 1999. The project has been through plan check for grading, building, and site detail elements and landscaping, and in fact grading on the site has begun. During the most recent plan review of the landscape and site elements, we discovered that the recreation area has been completely redesigned, including the building architecture. Therefore,the Committee review is focused on the recreation area only, all other aspects of the project, including site plan and building architecture have been reviewed for consistency with the approved plans during the plan check process. The Main Recreation Area was approved with a combination of amenities including recreation building, pool, spa, and sun deck, (see Exhibit "A"). The architecture of the recreation building, along with the leasing office, was addressed during Design Review Committee. The focus at that time was to achieve a level of design detail commensurate with the residential dwellings. Revised plans were approved by the Commission at the time of project approval, (see Exhibit "B"). The revised recreation area (see Exhibit "C") now includes not only the pool, spa, and recreation building, but now includes a separate fitness and restroom building, and a children's pool. The recreation area has been modified by the applicant to increase the amenities available to future residents. The three buildings are designed in the Mediterranean theme featuring clerestory window towers, (see Exhibit "D"). Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion: 1. Recreation Building (Exhibit D-1): The original recreation building included a small fitness/workout room. The fitness center has become a separate building, and the square footage of the revised recreation building becomes correspondingly smaller. The architecture is appropriately detailed to commensurate with the project design expectations. 2. Fitness Building (Exhibit "D-2"): The Fitness Building is intended to house the weight training and similar "workout" equipment. It is attached by overhead trellis to a separate restroom building,which is accessible to the outdoor pool area. The setting of the restroom building provides a separation between the children's pool and the large pool, creating a more confined space for younger children to play near the water. The architecture is appropriately detailed to commensurate with the project design expectations. 3. Leasing Building (Exhibit "D-3"): This building has increased in square footage (from 2,084 square feet to 2,600 square feet) to include a kitchen, a concierge and business center, and larger lobby and leasing display area, and office area. The architecture is appropriately detailed commensurate with the project design expectations. DRC COMMENTS DR 99-13 MOD— LEWIS APARTMENT COMM. July 18, 2000 Page 2 Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee review the modifications to the recreation area of Tract 16000, recommending any modifications as desired, and approve the modifications to the site plan and building design of the three buildings. Attachments: Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Debra Meier The Committee approved all revisions as proposed by the applicant. The Committee complimented the applicant on the quality of design. 1 � R Z vv�� i _• '-ice r` oti c i { W � o �- \ • • 1\ ' .111� J � _.

Design Parameters: The site is the last pad within the Foothill Marketplace Shopping Center and is along the Foothill Boulevard frontage. The pad has been graded and parking and landscape improvements, including parkway improvements on Foothill Boulevard frontage are in-place. The site is located between the Taco Bell building to the west and the Hollywood Video building on the east. The proposed architecture, colors, and materials are consistent with the existing buildings within the shopping center. The building is of relatively simple design with heavy reliance on trellises and color variation to provide relief and visual interest. 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 north elevation,facing Foothill Boulevard, has the least amount of wall articulation and visual interest. Provide a smaller tower element or other visually prominent feature on the north elevation to address the Foothill Boulevard Frontage. The site falls within the Activity Center so a 25-foot minimum setback from Foothill Boulevard is permitted. This provides more than enough room for substantial enhancement of the north elevation. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. Retaining wall around patio should be decorative wall to match those walls north of Golden Spoon pad. 2. The dimensions of the wall pop outs on the south and north elevations should be increased to provide a greater sense of depth. 3. Eliminate the entry tower pediment on the east elevation to be consistent with the center. 4. Colors, materials, and light fixtures shall match the theme established in the Foothill Marketplace shopping center. 5. Eliminate parking space no.7 and replace with landscaping to provide enhanced site entry. 6. Provide intensified landscaping around the trash enclosure and Edison box. 7. Roof/parapet projections should be finished all the way around to avoid looking clipped on the rear and provide a more finished look. 8. Provide vine pockets at base of trellis columns so that vines will climb trellises. 9. Provide metal wall-mounted trellises on the north and west elevations with vines trained to climb. r DRC COMMENTS 00-29—GREG WATSON July 18, 2000 Page 2 10. If the trellis-covered area at the northeast corner of the building is to be used for outdoor eating, low walls or other means of wind reduction should be used given seasonal high winds out of the northeast. 11. East facing doors are subject to high winds in the area. Suggest double door foyers if they can be accommodated. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. Roof equipment shall be fully screened from view. It appears that the A/C units are planned to be higher than the parapets and may be visible from Foothill Boulevard. Either specify lower units or raise parapet height. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval subject to the above comments. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Steward, Dan Coleman Staff Planner Brent Le Count The applicant's architect provided revised plans to address staff comments. The Committee recommended approval of the revised plans subject to staff's suggestions and the following additional comments. The applicant agreed to all requirements. 1. Provide an archway for the wall pop-out on the north elevation to match the archway on the east elevation. Also provide a quatrefoil on the north wall pop-out. 2. It is strongly suggested that future tenant improvements include double door foyers on east facing entrances to mitigate strong seasonal winds out of the northeast. i DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 8:20 p.m. Rudy Zeledon July 18, 2000 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-27—MCA ARCHITECTS INC. -A request to remodel and upgrade the storefront fagade of the Vons Store within Alta Loma Square Shopping Center, in the Neighborhood Commercial District, located at the northeast corner of 19th Street and Carnelian Avenue - APN: 201-221-45. Design Parameters: On February 23, 2000, the Planning Commission approved Development Review 99-57 for remodel and upgrade of the fagades of Building"A," Building"B,"and the Rite Aid storefront, within the Alta Loma Square Shopping Center (Exhibit "B"). The Vons Store was not a part of the Development Review Application. Vons has now submitted a Development Review Application requesting to remodel and upgrade the storefront fagade to be consistent with the previously approved design scheme for centers upgrade and remodel (Exhibit "C"). In addition, Vons is proposing to expand the front entry out 8-feet 6-inches, for total of 500 square feet and expand the rear of the building out 25-feet, for a total of 3,850 square feet. The storefront fagade will be extended to create a colonnade for a covered pedestrian walkway. The two store entrances will incorporate a tower element, with recessed tile niches. The fagade will feature recessed the niches above each column,to compliment the tower element. The columns will consist of pre-cast concrete with decorative concrete caps and bases. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion: Maior Issues:The following broad issues will be on the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: Staff has no major issues with this project; the applicant has worked closely with staff in resolving earlier issues. 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 column bases should consist of slate tile, consistent with the column design approved for the center. In addition, clarify what type of material will be used for the wainscoting treatment along the storefront. Ceramic tile or slate tile? 2. The exterior finish of the trash enclosure and retaining wall, along the rear of the store, should consist of stucco treatment and color to match the building. 3. Clarify what will be visible through windows in photo room and offices within main tower. A concern is to hide views of the backside of display racks, cabinets, etc. Photos of other Vons stores may help explain. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. All signs proposed for the building shall be designed in conformance with the City's Sign Ordinance and the Uniform Sign Program for the shopping center and shall require review and approval by the City Planner prior to installation DRC COMMENTS DR 00-27— MCA ARCHITECTS, INC.

Michael Smith July 18, 2000 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 00-11 —PACIFIC BELL WIRELESS—The development of a wireless communication facility consisting of a 60-foot stealth co-location monopalm and two cabinets housing transceiver equipment on 500 square feet of leased area on a 5.64-acre parcel of land in the Neighborhood Commercial Zone, located at 8647 Base Line Road—APN: 207-022-14. Design Parameters: In general,the project monopalm satisfies the design criteria established in the Wireless Communications Ordinance. Because the proposed facility will be located within 500 feet of a residential area, staff has requested that the applicant slightly modify their proposal. These adjustments specify the construction of a pole,foundation pad, and related electrical connections to allow a potential co-location by another wireless company at a future date. Staff Recommendation: To further reduce the visibility of the monopalm, staff has also requested that the applicant remove the non-living Palm fronds on the Palm trees, including the tree to be re- located, so that they will match the appearance of the wireless pole and antenna. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Michael Smith The applicant proposes a Wireless Communications Facility at 8647 Base Line Road. The design } resembles a Mexican Palm about 60 feet in height. The Committee requested that the applicant remove the non-living palm fronds on the existing Palm trees so that their appearance will match that of,the monopalm. The proposed design was otherwise satisfactory to the Committee and recommended approval. . DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS JULY 18, 2000 PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no public comments at this time.
