DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 5:00 p.m. Scott Murphy September 19, 1995 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 95-23 - THE MULVANNY PARTNERSHIP: A request to construct a 24,045 square foot addition to an existing commercial building(Price Club)in the Regional Related Commercial designation of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan(Subarea 4), located on the south side of Foothill Boulevard between 1-15 and Etiwanda Avenue - APN: 229-031-35 and 43. (Continued from September 20, 1995). Design Parameters: The site is currently developed with a 11,325 square foot Price Club facility. Parking for the building is provided to the north and west. Truck loading is provided at the southeast comer of the building. With the application,the applicant will be extending the building to the west roughly 66 feet. Three rows of parking will be eliminated with the expansion. Based on previous actions by the Design Review Committee and the Planning Commission,the applicant is showing the relocation of the northerly east- west drive aisle to create a four-way intersection south of In-N-Out Burger. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Major Issues: The following design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: 1. With the expansion of the building,the applicant is proposing to extent the colonnade to the west across the front of the addition and turn the corner to the south consistent with the current design. The extension of the colonnade, however, eliminates the symmetry of the entry. The colonnade could be extended to the east to help balance the entry but will not match the new addition. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed,and time permitting,the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. As with the previous application, the traffic cones from the front of the entry should be removed to allow vehicular access across the drive aisle to the east. This drive aisle is a major component of the interior circulation system and blocking aisle forces additional traffic to the north, congesting the other drive aisles. Traffic control measures (e.g. speed bumps, signage, etc.) can be installed to regulate speeds across the front of the store. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. Materials should be consistent with the existing facility. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee approve the application subject to conditions deemed appropriate to address the previous issues. The Environmental Assessment is subject to Planning Commission approval. Unless otherwise desired,the Development Review application will be approved by the City Planner. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Heinz Lumpp, John Melcher,Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Scott Murphy DRC AGENDA DR 95-23 -THE MULVANNY PARTNERSHIP October 3, 1995 Page 2 The Committee reviewed the application and felt that the traffic circulation across the front of the main entry should be resolved prior to any further discussion of the architecture. The Committee noted that the cones remain across the front of the entry despite comments from Price Costco representatives that the cones would be removed. Even if the cones are removed, the Committee expressed concern about the safety of pedestrians entering and exiting the entry given the close proximity to the drive aisle travel lanes. The whole issue needs to be reviewed by the applicant and return for Design Review Committee review and approval. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS October 3, 1995 PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no public comments at this time. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 5:40 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Brad Buller Secretary
