PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no public comments. • ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 9:25 p.m. • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:00 p.m. Michael Smith November 1, 2005 HILLSIDE DESIGN REVIEW DRC2005-00565—FUENTES-A request to construct a single-family residence of about 7,300 square feet (including garages) on a parcel of 25,250 square feet in the Very Low Residential District, located at the south side of Ranch Drive - APN: 1074-561-13. Related file: Hillside Design Review DRCDR98-02. Design Parameters: The proposed residence will be located at the terminus, and at the south side of, Ranch Drive in the gated Haven View Estates community. Its design is substantially the same as that which was previously approved in March 1998 (Hillside Design Review DR98-02). As the approval expired after 5 years, the applicant resubmitted the plans for review and approval. This new version of the plans incorporates modest changes including a new a 35-foot by 18-foot(about 630 square feet) theater at the east side of the house (adjacent to the garage) and an expanded, partially open kitchen at the south side of the house. Lot coverage has increased slightly to 20 percent (the maximum in this development district is 25 percent). At the suggestion of staff, the applicant has also added more cultured stone around the base of the house and the chimney. Otherwise, the architecture, materials, and roofing are the same as previously approved. The homeowners' association governing Haven View Estates has approved this version of the house. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee approve the proposal. Desicln Review Committee Action: Members Present: McPhail, Stewart, Coleman Staff Planner: Michael Smith The Committee recommended approval. • • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:10 p.m. Michael Smith November 1, 2005 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2005-00764 - ENTREPRENEURIAL RESTAURANTS CORPORATION (LAS CAMPANAS RESTAURANT) - A request to construct a restaurant with bar of about 7,200 square feet on Building Pad C of a previously approved commercial/office development in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 7), located at the southwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue - APN: 0229-011-69. Related files: Development Review DRC2004-01125 and Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM17426. Design Parameters: The proposed restaurant will be located at the northeast corner of a previously approved commercial and office center(related file: Development Review DRC2004-01125)that will be at the southwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue. The property is part of the 140-acre Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park that includes Lowes Home Improvement specialty retail warehouse and an Islands restaurant. This 7,200 square foot restaurant will be highly visible because of its location on the site and its proximity to the intersection. The proposed "signature" architecture of the restaurant will be distinctive and will differ from that of the other three buildings that will constructed on the site. The architecture is reminiscent of a Spanish mission including white plaster exterior wall finish and red clay barrel tile roofing. As the owner of the restaurant also owns the Mission Inn in Riverside, elements and features of that hotel have also been included such as the the dome,arched windows, and decorative wrought iron window trim and details. Interesting design features include a large • dining courtyard with a retractable roof system on the west side of the restaurant,a tower element at the northwest corner, a cured fagade with a fountain at the northeast corner, and a roof height that varies between 15 to 35 feet. Access to the site will be available via three entrances. The parking requirement for this use was considered during the review of the surrounding area and will be sufficient to meet anticipated demand. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion. 1. Provide decorative paving in the walkways along the south side of the building. 2. All roof equipment shall be screened by parapet walls. 3. All trash enclosures should be constructed per the City's design standard for commercial projects. The enclosure and roof trellis should be integrated with the architecture of the building. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee approve the proposal. Design Review Committee Action: • Members Present: McPhail, Stewart, Coleman Staff Planner: Michael Smith The Committee recommended approval. • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:30 p.m. Larry Henderson November 1, 2005 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT17435 - PITASSI ARCHITECT, INC.-A proposed 10-lot subdivision map for Condominium purpose on a total net site area of 10.95 acres with a 3.36 acres remainder, located on the south side of Church Avenue, between Center Avenue and Haven Avenue - APN: 1077-401-35 and 36.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2005-00071 - PITASSI ARCHITECTS, INC. —The proposed development of two office buildings totaling 44,782 square feet, 126 residential Condominium units, and nine single-family detached units on a total net site area of 14.31 acres, located on the south side of Church Avenue, between Center Avenue and Haven Avenue - APN: 1077-401-35 and 36. Related files: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17435, General Plan Amendment DRC2004-01197, and Development District Amendment DRC2005-00001. Design Parameters: The project site is a surplus retention basin that the San Bernardino County Flood Control District has sold for development. The approximately 14-acre site is within an . established neighborhood that is bordered by the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD) Maintenance Yard on the south and single-family single story residences to the west and north. The proposal to include office use on the east side of the site increases the challenges to create a new residential use that is compatible with neighboring industrial and residential uses. A neighborhood meeting was held on October 18, 2005, at Central Park Community Center. The neighborhood residents were generally concerned with the density and intensity of development proposed and.the inadequacy of traffic-related improvements. A copy of the meeting notes is attached for reference. 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. The current design for the single-family homes creates a rear-on orientation to Center Street, which is contrary to the existing front-on single-family residences across Center Street. The homes on the west side of Center Street have a front yard setback of approximately 37 feet to the curb face while the current new development design proposes a 17-foot parkway side walk and landscape area to the rear tract wall. A redesign of the single-family homes to front onto Center Avenue (rather than turn their backs onto the existing neighborhood as shown)maybe a consideration. The single-family homes could be designed with rear-loaded garages that access from the interior of the project site similar to the John Laing Homes project that has single-family homes fronting on San Bernardino Road. • 2. The residential portion of the project has a density of 12.4 dwelling units per acre. Although transition of density has been provided by new single-family detached homes along Center Street, the Committee should discuss whether similar transition should occur along Church DRC ACTION AGENDA SUBTT17435 AND DRC2005-00071 — PITASSI ARCHITECTS, INC. November 1, 2005 • Page 2 Street. The existing single-family neighborhood to the north, across Church Street, is 70 percent corner side-on and 30 percent rear-on. The proposed condominiums are approximately 140 feet from the nearest house to the north. The basin will be filled to develop the site and pad grades are proposed at 2 to 4 feet below Church Street and 4 to 6 feet below the houses to the north. 3. The entire project utilizes two architectural styles: Spanish Colonial and Craftsman. The Office development is Spanish Colonial,with the condominiums and single-family detached a mixture of both styles. In keeping with the Commission's review of similar projects, the consideration of creating a neighborhood theme within a neighborhood may be appropriate to consider with architectural styles applied to creating a neighborhood pod within the development that would provide a greater degree of identity than the random placement of the two styles. 4. Office Buildings — The applicant must submit elevations of the sides and rears of both buildings. A colored rendering of the project as viewed from Haven Avenue should also be provided. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. It is recommended that project entrances be designed so that they could be retrofitted in the • future to meet City standards for a private gated community, particularly turning radius (see Engineering Department handout). Many of the City's apartment and mobile home projects are now retrofitting gated entries. 2. Consider providing a gated pedestrian access to the Office use area in order to create a truer mixed-use project. 3. Mailbox location(s) should be labeled on the Site Plan. 4. A mixed-use project is usually recommended to be built in one phase; however, a Phasing Plan would be considered if submitted. No Phasing Plan was submitted; hence, it must be assumed that the entire block will be developed at one time. This is not a true mixed-use project because the residential and office portions are physically independent. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the project be modified to address those issues the Committee determines warrant further study. Attachment Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Stewart, Coleman (McPhail abstained) Staff Planner: Larry Henderson • The Committee recommended that the applicant revise the project to include single-family homes as a density transition along Church Street. The Committee recommended that the applicant review the latest architectural plans for Lewis' "Amador" project. The Committee noted that the City is taking a more cautious approach to in-fill projects to ensure design sensitivity. DRC ACTION AGENDA SUBTT17435 AND DRC2005-00071 — PITASSI ARCHITECTS, INC. November 1, 2005 • Page 3 The Committee noted that the applicant is requesting a "Mixed-Use" land use and zoning designation; however, indicated that there is nothing mixed about the Site Plan concept. The residential and office portions have been designed as totally separate. The Committee expressed concern that the residential Site Plan is too rigid. The Committee indicated that they would support use of three-story buildings on the southerly portion of the project if single-family homes were provided along Church Street. The Committee stated that the office portion was attractive; however,full elevations of all sides of both buildings need to be submitted for their review. The Committee recommended that the project be revised and return as a full item. • • .

Related files: Tentative Tract SUBTT17487 and Tentative Tract SUBTT17840. Design Parameters: Shea Homes is proposing to develop 310 market rate condominium units on two separate and undeveloped parcels of land located immediately north of the Victoria Gardens • Lifestyle Center. The largest of the parcels (TM 17487) is 12.99 acres in size and is bounded by Church Street on the north, Arbor Lane on the east, Cultural Center Drive on the south, and Day Creek Road on the west. The second parcel (TM17840) is approximately 5.33 acres in size and is bounded by Church Street on the north, Pavilion Gardens Place (private street)on the east,Cultural Center Drive on the south, and Arbor Lane on the west. Both sites have a gradual slope to the southwest. Surrounding the project site are single-family homes to the north, shopping center parking to the east (across Pavilion Gardens Place), the Cultural Center and Victoria Gardens center to the south, and townhomes to the west. Site Plan: The proposal involves the development of 310 condominium units within buildings that will contain 4, 5, and 6 units each. Construction of the units is expected to occur in approximately 12 phases. Each unit will have two or three bedrooms and range in size from 1,445 square feet to 1,912 square feet. Attached two-car garages are provided for each unit, and a minimum of 100 square feet of private open space (in patio or balcony).

In addition to required street trees around the perimeter of the site, the applicant will provide accent, canopy, and screening trees for the interior streets, slope conditions, and major focal points. Tree varieties included Albizia, Brisbane Box(Tristania), Chinese Elm, Eucalyptus, Italian Cypress,Capejut,Oak (Q. virginiana), Pines, etc., in 24-to 60-inch box sizes. Shrubs and groundcovers selected for the project are varied and generally water efficient species. Architecture: The architecture of the proposed condo units is comprised of two distinct but complementary styles. Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Style characterized by low-pitched roofs,eaves, brick arches,and a general emphasis on horizontal appearance inspires one style(referred to by the developer as the "Auburn"or"Three-65"),while the units facing Cultural Center Drive and located in Tract 17840 are loosely based on the work of architect Irving Gill. The latter style (referred to as the "Terraces" or"24-Seven") has a vertical emphasis, which results in a design that closely mimics a row house that is more typical of an urban streetscape. The design for the single-story Club House matches the "Prairie"-styled units, with a raised entry element. Exterior materials for the buildings • include stucco, brick, metal awnings and rails, wood siding and trim work, and varying colors of composition shingle roof. Colors and materials will be provided for review at the meeting. 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. The Planning Commission conducted a preliminary review of the project in June of this year. At that time, the Commission provided the applicant with feedback on the design aspects of the proposal. The Commission urged the applicant to focus on quality details and use of exterior materials to ensure the outcome of the project to be successful. Since then, staff recognizes the efforts of the applicant to further refine the project and make a number of quality changes to the Site Plan,design of the buildings, and in the landscaping for the site. With the above in mind, staff provides the following comments for consideration by the committee and applicant: 1. Proposed composition roof material is not consistent with City codes requiring the use of tile, metal, slate, or the equivalent imitation thereof, for all new residential development. 2. Further refine the design of the third (uppermost) level wall planes of the"Prairie"-styled units to break up large portions of stucco at this level. Given the height of the unit, staff believes these stucco wall planes will be more prominent and visible to the street than believed. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the . Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues. DRC ACTION AGENDA SUBTT17487, SUBTT17840, AND DRC2005-00701 —SHEA HOMES November 1, 2005 • Page 3 1. Provide catalog cuts for all exterior light fixtures freestanding and/or building mounted. Fixtures shall match the architectural style of the respective units and located in a manner that avoids undesirable glare and overspill to adjacent units. 2. Provide vertical trees within planters between garages of the 'Terraces" and "24-Seven" to visually break up the long runs of up to 520 feet. These alleyways are, in effect, tunnels between 3-story buildings on both sides. Even the shortest of these buildings have 100-foot long corridors dominated by 10 garage doors with nothing but shrubs/ground cover. 3. Vary garage door treatments. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion. 1. No wood fencing shall be allowed. Construction of block perimeter walls, between units, enclosing patios, etc. shall be required for permanence, durability, and design consistency. 2. Access gates to private yards of each unit and the recreation buildings/amenities shall be constructed of a material more durable than wood. Acceptable materials include, but are not limited to,wrought iron and PVC. All gates and fences shall be constructed of powder-coated metal. • 3. No roof top HVAC equipment and/or ducting shall be proposed,unless completely screened in mechanical equipment wells. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the project subject to the above revisions identified above. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: McPhail, Stewart, Coleman Staff Planner: Michael Diaz The applicant presented revised elevations for Prairie style, as well as flat concrete tile samples. The applicant also presented catalog cuts for lights. Revised Irving Gill elevations presented for varying garage doors. A revised Conceptual Landscape Plan presented with trees to soften alleys, such as Podooapus and clumping Bamboo plus a shorter tree. In addition, there are trellis opportunities for climbing plants at every other garage. The Committee recommended approval without garage windows and without wainscot on the third floor of the Prairie sty!e 'Three 65" products. • • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 8:10 P.M.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2005-00412-CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES - A request to construct Phase One of a two-phased master planned development of three 2-story professional office buildings on 26.95 acres of land in the Mixed-Use/Retail General Dynamics Specific Plan (Subarea 18), located at the northeast corner of 4th Street and Utica Avenue — APN: 0210-082-45. Related file: Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM17318. Design Parameters: The site is located on the north side of 4th Street and east of Utica Avenue, and was the parking lot for the former General Dynamics facility. To the north of the site is the former General Dynamics building which is now occupied with Aetna Insurance Company; to the east is the Empire Lakes golf course; to the south, across 4th street, is the City of Ontario; and to • the west of Utica Avenue is vacant land. The site has improved street frontage and the property slightly slopes to the south. The project consists of.a two-phased master planned development. The current request to develop Phase One consists of three, 2-story professional office buildings. Phase Two, which will be reviewed and processed with a City Planner Approval Letter entitlement, consists of two professional office buildings which front Utica Avenue and three retail buildings which will front along 4th Street. The three professional office buildings are site designed as a campus style development. Building "A" is situated as the terminus building with Buildings "B" and "C" parallel to each other. All of the buildings are separated with a pedestrian oriented landscape corridor. The buildings are multi-colored concrete tilt up buildings. The proposed paint scheme has a subtle look, which is strikingly contrasted with blue reflective glazing. The buildings are rectangular shaped with well-defined main entries. Staff is very disappointed in the amount of the second primary material (ledge stone)'that has been proposed. The applicant has been informed that a substantial amount of ledge stone will need to be added and that the vertical elements will be ideal for the placement of the stone. 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. The amount of ledge stone must be significantly increased. Staff recommends that where the applicant proposes to paint the buildings with the darker color, ledge stone should be installed and extended up to the bottom of the frazee. DRC ACTION AGENDA SUBTPM17318 AND DRC2005-00412 — CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES November 1, 2005 • Page 2 2. Staff has instructed the applicant to move Buildings"B"and "C"to front along 4th Street. This is consistent with professional office developments along Milliken Avenue, Haven Avenue,the other recent development projects that are under construction along 4th Street, and the Mercury Insurance building on Foothill Boulevard. The applicant relocated some of the frontage parking spaces between the buildings and 4th Street, but the remaining parking spaces are not in concert with the direction from staff, and other similar like developments. 3. The landscape pedestrian corridor is lacking amenities. A unique art piece or similar feature should be installed in front of all of the main entries instead of a centralized planter with a tree. More use of trellises can be incorporated in the corridor. More illuminated bollards are needed to enhance and direct pedestrians to all of the primary entries of the buildings. 4. The centralized access into the site off of 4th Street conflicts with the first proposed fire lane between Parcels 3 and 8. The fire access across the drive aisle should align, instead of the tight radius. The alignment will also improve the on-site traffic flow. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the- Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. Call out and provide the material samples and color schemes of the decorative paving. 2. Extend the enhanced accent paving along the entire length of the flanking landscape planters. • 3. Trelliswork should be installed over all pedestrian pathways that bisect landscape planters. 4. ' Detail needs to be provided for the outdoor employee eating area and trelliswork must be provided over the entire eating area. 5. No exterior downspouts are to be visible from the public right-of-way and project site. 6. Distribute bicycle storage racks throughout the project by providing separate racks for all of the buildings. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. Paint roll-up doors to match the building elevations. 2. Double stripe parking spaces per City standards. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the project subject to the above-mentioned comments. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: McPhail, Stewart, Coleman Staff Planner: Doug Fenn • The applicant presented revised plans and a text explanation of how they addressed all staff recommendations. The Committee recommended approval, including expended decorative paving at the 4th Street entry. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • November 1, 2005 PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no public comments at this time.
