ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2006-00536 - HOUSE
AND ROBERTSON - The development of a parking deck for a previously approved master plan
for an office and commercial center consisting of a 136-room hotel, one restaurant pad building
totaling 7,600 square feet, two three-story office buildings totaling 146,896 square feet and two
commercial buildings totaling 21,200 square feet on 11.70 acres of land in the Industrial Park
District (Subarea 6), within the Haven Avenue Overlay District, located at the northwest corner
of Haven Avenue and 4th Street - APN: 210-391-01 through 08 and 0210-381-22 and 23.
Related Files: Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM17303 and Development Review and Master
Plan DRC2005-00458. This action includes approval of an Addendum to the previously
adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration by the Planning Commission on November 9, 2005,
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Section 15164.
Design Parameters: The 246-stall, bi-level parking park deck will be located on the south side
of Commerce Center Drive, northwest of Buildings A and B. The previously approved master
plan for the Haven Park Office development (DRC2005-00458) was approved by the Planning
Commission on November 9, 2005. The master plan includes a conceptual location for a future
parking deck and the footprint, location, and size of the parking deck is consistent with the
master plan. There will be no physical change to the remaining portions of the master plan and
previously approved buildings. Overall, the parking deck will add a net gain of 77 stalls to the
project and allow tenants with higher employment.
The Haven Park office development is located in the Haven Avenue Overlay District, which
requires exemplary, sophisticated urban office architecture. Architecture that makes strong use
of glass, rich materials (granite, travertine, etc.), metal, recesses, openings, and portals is highly
sought after, and vertical and horizontal articulation in the wall planes is required. The corner of
4th Street and Haven Avenue has been identified as an "urban center" and a major gateway
into the City.
The applicant is proposing to construct a bi-level parking deck. The parking deck has been
designed to incorporate architectural elements found on the two primary office buildings
(Buildings A and B). The design includes the use of painted concrete panels with horizontal and
vertical reveals, an exterior stair case with steel cables, and horizontal wood/vine trellis made of
ipe wood. From Commerce Center Drive, the street and accent trees will provide screening.
Trees will be planted on both sides of the access ramp to the upper level. Staff is pleased with
the design concept and recommends approval of the proposed parking deck.
Staff Comments: None. The applicant has worked diligently with staff to resolve all design
issues.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the parking deck as proposed.
Design Review Committee Action: The Committee recommended approval of the project as
presented.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
.7:20 p.m. Rozalynne Thompson August 1, 2006
DEVELOPMENT/DESIGN REVIEW DRC2006-00432 - HUGHES INVESTMENTS - A request to
construct a 9,549 square foot building on a .88-acre parcel in the Village Commercial District,
within the Vineyard's Marketplace Shopping Center, located at the northeast corner of
Milliken Avenue and Kenyon Way - APN: 1089-131-02.
Design Parameters: The project is within the Vineyard's Marketplace, a 121,252 square foot
integrated shopping center located at the northeast corner of Milliken Avenue and Kenyon Way.
On November 29, 1989, the Planning Commission approved the Vineyard's Marketplace
project, Conditional Use Permit 89-08 and Tentative Map 12263 which consisted of 11 buildings
on a 12.9 acre parcel and their respective parcels. Buildings 3, 4, 5, 7, 11 were developed;
however, Building 2 and Pad 1 were not developed.
The applicant proposes to construct Building 2 that is substantially similar to the building
previously approved. The building will be sited on a partially developed, square-shaped parcel
with a net lot size of .88 acre (38,333 square feet). Approximately half of the project site is
paved with asphalt for vehicular access and parking and the other half is an undeveloped flat
pad. Except for the relocation of the disabled parking space, there will be no changes to the
existing parking area. Woodruff Place bounds the site to the east, while the parcel the
immediate to the west is access and parking for the Vineyard's Marketplace Shopping Center.
As this is an existing building pad, the site is level and there are no mature trees on the building
site.
The project proposes construction of a 9,549 square foot building. The building will be divided
into nine tenant spaces, ranging from 855 to 1,210 square feet. The materials for the proposed
building include tile roofing, cement plaster for the exterior, Mexican decorative tile, and
aluminum storefront and entry painted to match Olympic wood stain finish. All exterior materials
will match existing in the center.
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. None. The proposed building has been well designed and features the same high-quality
materials and finishes of the existing center.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee review the project, with all
major issues resolved, and recommend review and approval by the Planning Commission.
Design Review Committee Action: The Committee recommended approval of the project as
presented.
Members Present: McPhail, Stewart, Troyer

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2005-00327 -
WILLIAMS CHIAO ARCHITECTS - A review of a master plan for phased development of a
church and school campus, totaling 17,602 square feet on 1.52 acre of land in the Medium
Residential District, located at 8619 Baker Avenue —APN: 0207-132-53.
Design Parameters: The project site is developed and is currently operating as a church. The
surrounding properties are developed with residential uses. The applicant has provided
additional landscaping to bring the current site up to current minimum Code requirements. The
applicant has also demonstrated that there is enough parking on-site for the proposed uses.
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 proposed setbacks for the main sanctuary/fellowship hall should be increased to
minimize the potential negative effects to the adjacent residential properties. The hall has
a two-story height of 27 feet which creates a large building mass. The design of the
project site needs to take into consideration the proximity of the adjacent residential uses
in the placement of any proposed structures. The Site Plan shows the main sanctuary
and multi-purpose hall 10 feet (side) and 17.5 feet (rear) from the north and east property
lines, respectively. The concern is compatibility with a one-story single-family residence to
the east and the two-story Mountain Meadows townhomes to the north. The main
sanctuary/fellowship hall is 158 feet long; hence, would run the entire depth of the
adjoining the single-family home lot (See Sheet Al 1.4, and sight line sections on Sheets
A 2.1 and A 2.2). In contrast, the townhomes to the north have building setbacks ranging
from 38 to 49 feet to provide buffering. Although the project meets the minimum building
set back for the rear property line, a greater set back should be considered to minimize the
potential negative effects to the adjacent residences. The building setbacks should be two
to three times as large as those shown from the property lines for neighborhood
compatibility, because of the large building mass proposed. Staff has consistently raised
this major issue starting with Preliminary Review in 2004.
2. Upgrade the architectural details on all sides of the main sanctuary/fellowship hall.
Although many design elements are there, such as siding and river rock, the overall feel
seems rather plain. Attached is an example of high-quality detailing. A few suggestions
would include:
• How is the transition between river rock and siding to be detailed? Will there be a
cap piece on top of the river rock? Remember, that real river rock will have a much
greater depth than fake rock.
• At Phase IB Lobby entry use minimum 6-inch by 6-inch wood posts. Provide a top
element instead of simply terminating the posts into the underside of the roofing.
• All windows and doors should have wood plant-on surrounds as a transition from the
siding to their openings.

• Add window cut-ups.
• At the gable end of the Sanctuary on the West Elevation, the plans label a horizontal
band of "5 Hardie Cement Board Shade" between 15 to 20 feet above the finished
floor. Please clarify how this differs from Hardie Cement Board Siding. Was this a
drafting error that is supposed to be glass?
3. Provide a minimum 10 feet along the south side of the sanctuary for landscaping and the
sidewalk, yet maintaining a minimum 26-foot wide Fire Lane.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Clarify the sanctuary wall material used on the gable end of the East Elevation. Is it glass
within an aluminum storefront system? If not, the solid aluminum would be too reflective
of a surface adjoining the residential neighborhood.
2. Provide decorative pavement treatment at both driveway entries outside the public
right-of-way.
3. Add three more shade trees along the south side of the southerly parking lot at the
southeast corner of the project to shade the parking spaces and eliminate the gap. Also,
extend the shrub/ground cover into the same area.
4. The sliding gates shall be decorative.
Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion.
1. . The river rock shall be real rock (not manufactured stone product).
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be redesigned and return to
Design Review Committee.
Attachment
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: McPhail, Stewart, Troyer
Staff Planner: Louis Le Blanc
The project will have to be revised and brought back to the Design Review Committee. The
pitch is too dramatic, and there were concerns about the setbacks. The setbacks need to be
enlarged on one side from 10 feet to 15 feet for additional landscaping. The applicant gave an
extensive presentation regarding the impacts to the adjacent residents.

3.13-acre parcel into 8 lots in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 12), located at the southeast
corner of Pittsburgh and 5th Avenues - APN: 0229-263-73.
Design Parameters: The surrounding properties are developed with industrial and office
buildings. The elevations of the proposed new buildings substantially follow the General Design
Guidelines and the associated Development Standards. The elevations feature tilt-up smooth
concrete panels and form-liner textured concrete for materials. The applicant has provided a
Landscape Plan that meets minimum Code requirements. The applicant has proposed
decorative pavement along the entire entrance driveway to enhance the overall appearance of
the project. The applicant has also demonstrated that there is sufficient parking on-site for
proposed use.
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. Is the amount of form-liner concrete adequate to satisfy the intent of a second primary
exterior material?
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Provide canopy shade trees within the parking lot between Buildings 5 and 6 and
Buildings land 8 at a rate of one tree per 3 stalls. The Crape Myrtle is a small accent tree
that will not provide shade. Most of the other trees are not broad canopy shade trees and
are too far from the stalls to provide effective shade.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee review the project, with all
issues resolved, recommend review and approval by the Planning Commission.

DESIGN REVIEW DRC2006-00264 - RICHIE'S DINER - A request to construct a single-story,
6,000 square foot sit down restaurant in Route 66 area of the Victoria Gardens Lifestyle Center,
located at 8039 Monet Avenue—APN: 0227-464-49.
Design Parameters: The subject project is located within the 13.3-acre area known as the
Route 66 area of the Victoria Gardens Master Plan, located at the northeast corner of Day
Creek and Foothill (Route 66) Boulevards. Lot 11 of Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM15716-2 is
approximately 27, 460 square feet (.63 acre) in size and contains 37 on-site parking spaces.
Reciprocal parking agreements exist between the adjacent properties to accommodate the
proposed restaurant. The property owner/developer, Forest City, has installed all interior
roadways, parking areas, walkways, and perimeter landscaping within the Route 66 area.
Projects within the Route 66 area are required to reflect the architectural styles (e.g., Mission,
Craftsman, Art Deco/Streamline Modern, and Adobe/Pueblo) found on historic roadside retail
buildings that once lined Route 66. Projects within the Route 66 area are subject to final
approval by the Planning Director following a review and approval of the project design by the
Design Review Committee (DRC).
Project Description and Architectural Design: The proposed restaurant building will be
single-story and approximately 6,000 square feet in gross area. A component of the operation
of the restaurant is an outdoor barbeque to be located on the left side of the main entry located
on the east side of the building. The barbeque will be screened by a wall (clad with slate tile to
match the main building) and a metal trellis overhead.
The design of the building is best described as an interpretation of "Googie" architecture popular
in the 1950s and 1960s and typically found in the design of diners, restaurants(i.e. Bob's Big
Boy) motels, bowling alleys, etc. Although Googie is hard to define, common design features of
the style includes generally abstract forms accented with bold angles, cantilevered/upswept
and/or domed roof shapes, multiple structural elements, glass, and colorful signs. The
proposed design of the building incorporates a number of these characteristic elements in an
attractive manner.
Exterior materials include a standing seam metal roof, tiles fins, stainless steel accents, scored
plaster, acrylic panels (over plaster) metal storefront windows and doors, and slate tile at base
of the building. Concealed neon light placed above "weenie" windows and on the fascia of the
upswept eaves is proposed. Decorative wall lights and sconces are proposed for around the
building, and recessed lights are incorporated into the structure of the eaves. Three
identification signs are proposed and conceptually shown on the plans. A mural is proposed for
the west elevation, but no details have been provided. Foundation landscaping is proposed for
each side of the building featuring shrubs, a groundcover, vine, and three palms near the front
entry.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.

Major Issues: None. The design for the proposed restaurant is visually interesting and in
keeping with the design goals for the Route 66 area. The applicant has responded well to the
major issues previously identified during staff review of the proposal. As a result, staff believes
the proposed building is well designed.
Secondary Issues: Staff has identified several secondary issues for discussion:
1. Clarify the placement and color of the neon lighting proposed for the building.
Unprotected exposed neon tubes are not allowed.
2. Indicate how Trumpet Vine will be accommodated where proposed. The use of the
Trumpet Vine may not be appropriate as it will likely obscure the architecture of the
building and proposed mural.
3. Enhance the proposed Landscape Plan. Proposed plant materials are adequate but do
not appear to provide enough visual interest and variety to complement the architecture of
the new building.
4. Need details on purpose of and elements of the proposed mural.
5. Provide more detail on proposed signs. Although signs require separate review and
approval, the signs depicted on the plans appear to be neon. Exposed neon is prohibited.
Code Issues: The following items are a matter of City Ordinance and shall be incorporated into
the project design without discussion:
1. All roof-mounted equipment shall be screened from direct view from the street by the
parapet wall of the building.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee review the project, with all
major issues resolved, and recommend review and approval by the Planning Director.
Design Review Committee Action: The Committtee recommended approval of the project as
presented with the exception of enhancing the Landscape Plan.
Members Present: McPhail, Stewart, Troyer
Staff Planner: Mike Diaz
The landscaping, as proposed, needs enhancement to be more consistent with the architectural
style of the building. (Bold, appropriately themed.)

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND DESIGN REVIEW DRC2006-00268 - HARRY'S PACIFIC
GRILL - A request to construct a sit down restaurant with a bar in the Route 66 area of the
Victoria Gardens Lifestyle Center, located at 8009 Day Creek Boulevard - APN: 0227-464-39.
Design Parameters: The subject project is located within the 13.3-acre area known as the
Route 66 area of the Victoria Gardens Master Plan, located at the northeast corner of
Day Creek and Foothill (Route 66) Boulevards. Lot 1 of Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM15716-2
is located at the southeast corner of Day Creek Boulevard and Victoria Garden Lane and is
approximately 41,693 square feet (.96 acre) in size and contains 59 on-site parking spaces.
Reciprocal parking agreements exist between the adjacent properties to accommodate the
proposed restaurant. The property owner/developer, Forest City, has installed all interior
roadways, parking areas, walkways, and perimeter landscaping within the Route 66 area.
The projects within the Route 66 area are required to reflect the architectural styles (e.g.,
Mission, Craftsman, Art Deco/Streamline Modern, and Adobe/Pueblo) found on historic
roadside retail buildings that once lined Route 66. The projects within the Route 66 area are
subject to final approval by the City Planner following a review and approval of the project
design by the Design Review Committee (DRC).
Project Description and Architectural Design: The proposed restaurant building will be
single-story and approximately 6,000 square feet in gross area. The design of the building can
described as a modern interpretation of the Hawaiian "plantation" architecture style that is
intended to correspond to the proposed restaurant that features food entrees from the various
regions of the Pacific Rim. Characteristic of Hawaiian "plantation" architecture are low profile
roofs, large porticos, wide eaves, and use of vertical plank siding. The proposed design
incorporates many of the abovementioned design elements, including the use of "lava" rock as
an accent exterior wall material, a slate tile roof, and extensive wood trim work. Three
identification signs are proposed and conceptually shown on the plans. Color elevations and
color/materials board will be available at the meeting. Finally, landscaping is proposed for the
north side of the building, along the west to supplement what already exists. However, no
landscape area is provided on the east.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Major Issues: None.
Secondary Issues: Staff has identified several secondary issues for discussion:
1. Provide details on the wall treatment/design of the upper wall portion just below the hip
roof of the tower elements. It is not clear what type of detail is proposed. Are these
windows or stucco pop-out trim? Will this area be lighted?
2. Add landscaping on the east side of the building facing the parking lot. Confirm the
distance between the parking stall and the face of the building. The setback from the
parking stalls on the Site Plan, Landscaping Plan, and Conceptual Grading Plans are not
consistent.

3. Enhance the proposed Landscape Plan. The proposed plant materials are adequate but
do not appear to provide enough visual interest and variety to complement the architecture
of the new building and theme of the restaurant.
4. Provide more detail on the proposed signs. Although signs require separate review and
approval, the signs depicted on the plans appear to be too conceptual to clearly
understand their design and quality.
5. Provide a sample of the proposed "lava rock" for Committee review and approval.
6. Provide catalog cuts for all wall sconces and/or lights.
Code Issues: The following items are a matter of City Ordinance and shall be incorporated into
the project design without discussion:
1. All roof-mounted equipment shall be screened from direct view from the street by the
parapet wall of the building.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval with the revisions listed above.
Design Review Committee Action: The Committee recommended approval of the project as
presented, with the exception of the removal of the oleanders in the Landscape Plan.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DESIGN REVIEW DRC2006-00240 —
SOLID GROUND BRETHEREN IN CHRIST CHURCH - A request to amend Conditional Use
Permit 96-17 and approve a master plan.to allow site and building improvements, including the
construction of additional classrooms and a multi-purpose building, for use as a gym on
10.22 acres of land in the Medium Residential District (8-14 dwelling units per acre), located at
9974 19th Street - APNS: 1076-051-05, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 1076-061-10 and 1076-061-11.
Design Parameters: Solid Ground Brethren in Christ Church (formerly known as Alta Loma
Brethren In Christ Church) is requesting approval of a new master plan to improve the existing
church campus for use by its congregants and private school ministry for the next 20 to
25 years. The master plan envisions the construction of five (5) new buildings, ranging in size
from 6,000 to 32,000 square feet in size, 3 additions to the existing buildings, removal of
existing modular units, and provision of more on-site parking. As part of the review at this time,
the church is requesting design approval for Building F, its much anticipated multipurpose
building.
Site Plan: As the most anticipated building project of the master plan in the near term
(2006-2011), Building F will ultimately become a 32,200 square foot multipurpose building.
Building F will be located roughly at the center of the "T shaped property on a portion of an
existing athletic field. The new two-story building will be setback approximately 60 feet from the
west and east property lines and approximately 490 feet away from 19th Street.
Phasing: The new Conditional Use Permit will be valid for 5 years, meaning that the church has
five years to obtain Building Permits. Because implementation of each project is dependent on
fund raising, Building F is divided into three (3) phases as shown in the table below. The church
estimates that the remaining buildings will take between 8 to 19 years to complete; hence the
church must re-apply for a new Conditional Use Permit every 5 years until construction is
completed.

7 more spaces will be added to achieve a grand total of 195 spaces for the campus, which will
surpass the required amount by 6 spaces.
Landscaping: The project includes the installation of new trees, shrubs, and groundcovers
around the perimeter of the building and in the new parking areas. The trees selected are
Brisbane Box (Tristania conferta), American Sweet Gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), and
Carrotwood (Cupaniopsis anacardiodes).
Architecture: The design of Building F is a contemporary adaptation of the Spanish architectural
style. The design features a combination of decorative parapet walls and tiled hip roofs,
including fully covered arched exterior arcades, and open trellises. Sand finish stucco is the
primary exterior wall material with the bottom 2 feet being a darker color and separated by a
raised belt course. The windows and doorways are framed and/or recessed. The tallest portion
of the building, when fully completed, will be 33-feet. The submitted plans depict Phases I and
III. A colors and materials board will be provided for review at the meeting.
