DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:10 p.m. Mike Smith March 4, 2008 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2007-00117 - WOODBRIDGE HOSPITALITY INC. - A proposal to construct a 98-room hotel in the Industrial Park (IP) District, Subarea 12, located at the west side of Pittsburgh Drive, north of 4th Street - APN: 0229-341-11. This application was previously reviewed by the Committee on September 18 and October 16, 2007. The applicant was directed by the Committee to make revisions and return for Committee review and recommendation. See attached action agendas for background information. The following revisions were requested by the Committee: 1. Change the color of the roof material to a darker earth tone as selected by the Commission from the submitted roofing material brochure. The applicant has provided elevations with a revised color called-out for the roof. It was Mission Clay Tile Roof "Brick Red"2F43. It is now Mission Clay Tile Roof"Vintage Red Blend"8340-R. 2. Increase the amount of field stone on the porte-cochere and remove the attached signage to further enhance the main entrance. There appears to be no change from the previous submittal in the quantity of field stone on the porte-cochere. However, all signs were removed and a water feature was added to the area in front of the porte-cochere. 3. Revise the roof design in accordance with the selected alternative elevation that was chosen by the Committee. The applicant has revised the roof design accordingly. Staff Recommendation: The Committee may wish to discuss the field stone on the porte-cochere further. Provided that the applicant resolves this minor issue to the satisfaction of the Committee, staff recommends to the Committee that the project be approved and forwarded to the Planning Director for review and action. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Stewart, Nicholson Staff Planner: Mike Smith The applicant was directed to do the following: 1. Provide accurate colored elevations of the proposed hotel.

Provide more substantial, i.e. larger, cornices on all features and elements; and 4. Do not use "Avocado Green"' as an accent color.

Design Parameters: The proposed hotel would be located at the west side of Pittsburgh Avenue near the west terminus of Mission Vista Drive on a parcel of about 2.10 acres. The project site is almost square i.e., approximately 308 feet (north-south) by 305 feet (east-west). The site is currently vacant. The property is surrounded by several hotels. To the west of the property is a Holiday Inn Express, to the south is a Marriott Town Place Suites, and to the southeast is a Hilton Homewood Suites. To the north is a California Highway Patrol station. The zoning of the surrounding properties is Industrial Park (IP) District. The subject property is generally level with an elevation at the north and south sides of about 1051 feet and 1046 feet, respectively. The applicant proposes to construct a 55' high, four-story hotel with 98 rooms. The proposed building would have a conventional type of construction consisting of wood framing. The exterior would be finished with stucco in a palette of four different colors. An additional primary material would be field stone veneer. The primary entrance would be on the east side of the building. A key feature would be a central element incorporating a Mission-style fagade flanked by two tower elements that would be finished with field stone veneer and topped with a standing seam metal roof, and porte-cochere. The hotel would be generally symmetrical and would have the same features on the west side. There would be a generous application of field stone veneer at key intervals along the east and west elevations and on the entire base of the building (about 9 — 12 feet high). There would be two points of access from Pittsburgh Avenue. Ninety- eight parking stalls, distributed around the hotel, would be provided as required by the Development Code. Landscape coverage is 17 percent; the minimum requirement is 15 percent for this development district. 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 architecture appears to have two design themes. The top of the Mission-style fagade and barrel tile roof is inconsistent with the rest of design elements such as the metal roof on the porte-cochere and tower elements, and the field stone veneer. 2. Add a second color to the north and south elevations for contrast. 3. Revise the landscaping (berms, plants, and/or screen walls) at the west side of the project site to screen the parking lot. 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 trash enclosure shall incorporate some of the materials used on the main buildings including the field stone veneer. Also, the trash enclosure shall be constructed per City 67C41"i to A Standard. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion. 1. All ground-mounted equipment, utility boxes including transformers, and back-flow devices shall be surrounded by a minimum of two rows of shrubs spaced a minimum of 18" on center. 2. All doors shall match the color of the adjacent wall or glass panel. 3. All signs are subject to the City's Sign Ordinance. 4. The minimum horizontal separation between all walls, including the retaining walls along the north side of the site, shall be 3 feet. 5. The maximum height of all light standards, including the base and measured to the top of the lamp head, is 15 feet. 6. The minimum dimension for all `diamond' planters, including the 6-inch concrete curb, is 6 feet. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be approved, with the noted revisions to be verified by Staff, and forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and action. Design Review Committee Action: The applicant revised the project to include the following: a. A revised color scheme on the south and north elevations as noted above. The Committee directed the applicant to revise the application as follows and resubmit the application for a follow-up review as a regular item: a. Eliminate the metal roofing on the porte-cochere and at the top of the `tower' elements. Use the same roofing tile used on the rest of the building. Also, the multi-shade pattern of the roof tiles was not accepted; all tiles shall be the same shade with no variations in color or appearance. b. Revise the facade of the building so that it is more conventional and matches the architecture of the rest of the building, i.e. do not use a Mission-style facade. C. Provide an accurate materials and color board. Staff Planner: Mike Smith Members Present: Stewart, Munoz, and Nicholson f ♦ r";4;w- ''t'N y',R" it t- G..
