DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:00 p.m. Mike Smith August 17, 2010 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT/DESIGN REVIEW DRC2008-00909 - NASSEF ESKANDER (FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL) - A proposal to demolish an existing veterinarian office and construct a new veterinarian office and commercial retail building on a property of 25,705 square feet in the General Commercial (GC) District, located at the northeast corner of Base Line Road and Amethyst Avenue at 7289 Amethyst Avenue. The proposed project includes incorporating an existing residence to the north of the site at 7271 Amethyst Avenue as part of the project—APN: 0202-161-10, -11, and -20. Related Files: Pre-Application Review DRC2007-00733, Minor Exception DRC2009-00360, and Uniform Sign Program DRC2009-00697. This item was originally scheduled for review by the Committee on July 6, 2010. At the applicant's request, this item was postponed to August 17, 2010. Desiqn Parameters: The project site is comprised of three (3) parcels with a combined area of 25,705 feet (0.59-acre). Overall the project site is approximately 158 feet deep (north to south) and approximately 165 feet wide (east to west). The project site is developed with four (4) structures – a veterinarian hospital located in two buildings of 2,308 and 760 square feet (Buildings 1 and 2, respectively); a single-family residence of 745 square feet; and a garage of 201 square feet. Vegetation on-site is limited to low grasses and a few trees. To the north, are single-family residences. To the south, across Base Line Road, is a senior assisted living facility and to the west, across Amethyst Avenue, is an office/commercial building and a single-family residence. The property to the east is vacant. The zoning of the property and the properties to the east, west, and north is General Commercial (GC) District. The zoning of the properties to the south is Office/Professional (OP) District. The topography of the site is generally level with an elevation of approximately 1,376 feet at the north side of the site and approximately 1,370 feet at the south side. As the project site is comprised of three (3) parcels, the applicant will be required to submit an application to combine the lots as a condition of approval. The applicant, on behalf of his client, proposes to demolish the two (2) buildings (identified by staff as Buildings 1 and 2 for clarity) occupied by the veterinarian hospital and construct one new building of 5,710 square feet in its place. The veterinarian hospital will be relocated to this building, and as it will occupy 4,815 square feet of the building, will be the primary tenant The remaining 895 square feet of floor area of the new building will be for an unspecified retail tenant. The existing garage will be demolished, and the existing single-family residence will be converted for office use only. In order to allow the veterinarian hospital to operate with minimum interruption, the new building will be constructed in two (2) phases. During Phase 1, Building 2 will be demolished first and approximately 4,700 square feet of the new building will be constructed. The veterinarian hospital will then be relocated, and during Phase 2, Building 1 will be demolished and the remaining 1,000 square feet of the new building will be constructed. Additional site improvements include a new parking lot, new landscaping, new property line walls/fences, and the removal of the existing driveway at Amethyst Avenue, which is currently 75 feet north of the intersection of Base Line Road and Amethyst Avenue, and the construction of a new one that will be approximately 120 feet from the intersection. The parking requirement for the new building and the converted office will be 31 parking stalls. The project will have only 24 parking stalls because of the size of the site and the presence of the existing structures. To address this deficiency, the applicant has submitted an application for a Minor Exception (Related File: DRC2009-00360) which, if approved, permits a reduction of up to 25 percent in the parking requirement. DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2008-00909 - NASSEF ESKANDER (FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL) August 17, 2010 Page 2 To ensure compatibility with the surrounding development and consistency with Section 17.10.060(C)(1)(j) — Master Planning — of the Development Code, at the direction of staff, the applicant has provided an east to west drive aisle that extends the full width of the property and terminates at the east property line shared with the vacant property to the east (APN: 0202-161-09). Upon future development of that property, this drive aisle will connect with the drive aisle and parking area of the future development. This will allow that property owner secondary access to Amethyst Avenue, and conversely, allow the project site secondary access to Base Line Road. Note: The applicant has indicated that his client is willing to provide access but is not willing to provide an access easement. At a Pre-Application Workshop (Related File: DRC2007-00733) held on March 12, 2008, the proposal was reviewed by the Planning Commission (Attachment A). The Commissioners generally favored the concept of the project. They emphasized to the.applicant that the architecture of the proposed building should be sensitive to the historic character of the surrounding neighborhood and consideration given to the location of the site at the "gateway" of, and relationship to, the historic Old Alta Loma neighborhood. The applicant was directed to incorporate Craftsman-style elements to the building. Additionally, it was suggested that the applicant review the architectural elements used on the Sunrise Assisted Living facility (Related File: Development Review DR99-32), located directly across the street. The architecture of the proposed building reflects the direction provided by the DRC Committee as noted above. The proposed building will be of wood-frame construction and will be similar in appearance to the buildings in the general area, including the single-family residences and the assisted living facility across the street (Attachment B). The building will incorporate key elements of the Craftsman style: a mixed combination of a hip and gable roof that varies in height and form; wainscots on all elevations finished with river rock; numerous column elements finished with river rock; building walls finished alternately with stucco or horizontal wood siding; exposed decorative rafter tails; and wood beams. The building will be painted with a palette of three basic colors. Glass will be provided on all elevations. Along the entire south side of the building, and over the south entrances, there will be a large roof overhang supported by columns that will provide a strong visual statement along Base Line Road. Secondarily, this overhang will provide shade along the sunward south elevation. At the north entrances, there will be a set of prominent gable roof overhangs that will provide a focal point as seen from the parking lot. At the west entrance of the retail space, there will a gable roof and a small overhead trellis. Through the use of these elements, the building will be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and enhance and emphasize the character of the Old Alta Loma community. 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 Committee should review the applicant's concern regarding the provision of an access easement through his property in favor of the property owner to the east and the importance of successful master planning. 2. The color scheme of the new building and the house (that will be converted to an office) shall match. This includes the color of the wood siding, the fascia boards, exposed rafters, beams, and the roofing tile. DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2008-00909 - NASSEF ESKANDER (FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL) August 17, 2010 Page 3 3. The color scheme on the building shall be consistent. The color of the roof, rafters, fascia, trellis, and stucco are "warm," while the colors of the river rock, trim caps, and wood siding are "cool." Revise the color scheme to be either all "warm" or all "cool." 4. The overhead members of the trellis feature are proposed to be constructed of wood. The Committee has indicated in the past a preference for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for durability. The Committee may want to consider and allow the use of wood for this project for consistency with the wood rafter tails and exposed wood beams. 5. In order to reflect authentic Craftsman-style architecture, all columns (square and cylindrical) should be modified to be battered. 6. The roof of the building is proposed to be rust-colored 'S'-tile roofing. This type of roofing tile is not consistent with the Craftsman style architecture. Flat concrete (or equivalent) roofing tile shall be used instead. 7. The fenestration selections (doors and windows) should be modified to reflect authentic Craftsman style architecture. 8. At the north and south elevations, there is vertical wood siding under two sets of gable roof elements. The rest of the building is designed with horizontal wood siding, which makes the vertical wood siding appear awkward. In order to reflect authentic Craftsman-style architecture, the vertical wood siding should be modified to shingle siding. 9. The materials of the existing house that will be converted to an office shall be refinished to match the proposed building. At a minimum, the refinishing should include a river rock wainscot around the base of the porch. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues. 1. Trees shall be planted in areas of public view adjacent to and along the structure at an equivalent of one tree per 30 linear feet of building, which has public exposure per Section 17.10.040(C)(3)(a) of the Development Code. Provide two trees along the east side of the building. 2. The landscaping at the southwest corner of the site, near the intersection, "frames" the entry into the Alta Loma neighborhood and is a focal point. Therefore, the landscaping at this location shall be enhanced with more elaborate, decorative ground cover and shrubs. 3. Install windows instead of constructing decorative tile features on either side of the west entrance to the retail space. 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 and utility boxes including transformers, back-flow devices, etc. shall be screened by a minimum of two rows of shrubs spaced a minimum of 18 inches on center. This equipment shall be painted forest green. DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2008-00909 - NASSEF ESKANDER (FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL) August 17, 2010 Page 4 2. The Double Detector Checks (DDC) and Fire Department Connections (FDC) shall be screened on three sides behind the 4-foot high metal mesh fence. This equipment shall be painted forest green. 3. Wherever river rock is proposed it shall be real river rock and not a manufactured veneer. 4. All wrought iron fences and sliding gates shall be painted black or a similarly dark color. 5. All doors (roll-up, dock doors, emergency access) shall be painted to match the color of the adjacent wall or glass panel. 6. The trash enclosure shall be constructed per City standard. The design of the trash enclosures shall incorporate the materials, finish, color, and trim used on the buildings. The proposed enclosure should, at a minimum, include a river rock wainscot. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be approved subject to the completion of the recommended revisions, to be verified by staff, and forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and action. Design Review Committee Action: The Committee reviewed the application and deemed it acceptable to forward to the Planning Commission for review and action. The Committee concluded that the architecture of the building was consistent with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and the Craftsman theme. The Committee discussed the major and secondary issues described in the Comments Report with the applicant. The applicant revised his proposal prior to the meeting to address the comments in the Comments Report. The revisions are as follows: • The colors used for the building will be cool, gray shades; • All of the columns will be battered; • The trellis feature will be constructed of composite wood, while the rafters will be constructed of real wood; • The roof tiles will be flat; and • The vertical siding will be changed to horizontal siding. The Committee considered the applicant's request to provide an access agreement as opposed to an access easement as a means of ensuring reciprocal access for the property to the east; they approved that solution provided that the agreement was acceptable to the City Attorney. The applicant will prepare the document to be forwarded to the City Attorney. The applicant was directed not to put river rock on the existing residence. The decorative tile feature at the west elevation of the building will be replaced with wood siding. The applicant agreed to complete and comply with the policy issues. The final revisions will be submitted for staff review prior to scheduling of the item for Planning Commission review and action Members Present Munoz, Wimberly, Burnett Staff Planner: Mike Smith Attachment C - Photo CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES Adjourned Meeting March 12, 2008 Chairman Stewart called the Adjourned Meeting of the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Commission to order at 8:20 p.m. The meeting was held in the Rains Room. ROLL CALL COMMISSIONERS: PRESENT: Richard Fletcher, Lou Munoz, Pam Stewart, Frances Howdyshell ABSENT: Ray Wimberly STAFF PRESENT: Corkran Nicholson, Assistant Planning Director; Candyce Burnett, Senior Planner; Mayuko Nakajima, Assistant Planner New Business PRE-APPLICATION REVIEW- DRC2007-00733- NASSEF ESKANDER-A pre-application review of the proposed demolition of an existing veterinary hospital to construct a new commercial development of about 5,900 square feet which would include a new veterinary hospital and retail spaces and incorporate a single family dwelling unit that is a potentially significant contributor to the Alta Loma Neighborhood and future Historic District designation on three parcels (approximately 0.66 acres) located on the northeast corner of Amethyst Avenue and Base Line Road at 7271 Amethyst Avenue in the General Commercial (GC) District-APN: 0202-161-10, 0202-161-11, and 0202-161-20. Mayuko Nakajima, Assistant Planner, introduced the Pre-Application Workshop process. Nassef Eskander, the applicant, gave an overview of the project that would consist of a new veterinary hospital and retail spaces. The project would also incorporate a single-family dwelling unit that is a potentially significant contributor to the Alta Loma Neighborhood. He explained that it would match the streetscape and architecture of the surrounding area. He also explained that it meets all setback requirements that were provided. He said that if enough parking was available, he would have preferred to add into the project a type of lounge, or rest area, for the doctor. Ms. Nakajima asked for clarification on the use of the potentially historic house on the north portion of the site. - Mr. Eskander stated that it would still be used as a single-family residence and may even be occupied by one of the nurses that would be employed at the veterinary hospital. Candyce Burnett, Senior Planner, added that the area is intended to be rezoned as a Mixed Use designation from the current General Commercial designation in the future. Chairman Stewart asked if parking would be an issue if the house was to be converted into a commercial use in the future. Attachment A Ms. Burnett explained that the house would not be allowed to be converted into a commercial use if adequate parking spaces were not provided for the use. She also noted that this specific property is a difficult one to work with in regards to access because there is no connection to the east property. She said this was the reason for the required turnaround space in the applicant's proposal and that if in the future, a reciprocal access agreement were to be recorded amongst the adjoining property owners, the turnaround could be omitted to allow more space for parking. Mr. Eskander mentioned that he is dedicating 20 feet for the widening of Base Line Road. Ms. Nakajima explained that Engineering is requiring that the existing curb be removed and a new curb constructed to widen the street by three feet. Vice-Chairman Fletcher mentioned that this area should be noted carefully for its architecture because of its"downtown feel" and potential gateway for the historic Old Alta Loma neighborhood. Commissioner Munoz pointed out that there is too much distinction in the architecture between the veterinary hospital and the retail buildings. He thought that it should be consistent throughout the entire project, whether the use was intended for a hospital or retail. Commissioner Howdyshell concurred with her fellow Commissioners. She felt it was important to be sensitive to the historic character of the neighborhood and what is currently there. Chairman Stewart agreed with being consistent to the historic design of the neighborhood and suggested that the applicant implement some Craftsman-style elements to the buildings. She stated that the tower does not fit into the Craftsman-style category and should be removed. She also suggested looking at architectural elements from the "Sunrise" assisted living building that is due south of the project site. Corkran Nicholson,Assistant Planning Director, added that the project needs design improvements (variation in roof heights, issues with proportion, etc.) and that Staff is willing to work with the applicant to develop an attractive architectural theme for the project. Overall, the Commissioners were favorable of the project concept. They noted that land use was not the main condem for this project but the architecture should be looked at more closely. The applicant thanked the Commissioners for their input and time.

The proposal includes incorporating an existing residence to the north of the site at 7271 Amethyst Avenue as part of the project. APN: 0202-161-10, -11, and -20. Related file: Pre-Application Review DRC2007-00733, Development Review DRC2008-00909, and Minor Exception DRC2009-00360. This item was originally scheduled for review by the Committee on July 6, 2010. At the applicant's request, this item was postponed to August 17, 2010. Background: The proposed sign program is for a new building of 5,710 square feet that will be occupied by a veterinarian hospital and an unspecified retail tenant. The basic layout of the building will have its primary axis oriented east to west with the hospital occupying 4,815 square feet of the eastern portion of the building and the retail tenant space occupying the remaining 895 square feet of the western portion of the building. The hospital will have entrances on the south and north elevations, while the retail space will have entrances on the north, south, and west elevations. Design Parameters: The program proposes three categories of wall signs — Sign Type "A" for the wall signs, Sign Type "B" for vinyl window signs (for the purpose of convenience information such as hours of operation, telephone numbers, etc.), and Sign Type "C" for the monument sign. In general, the proposed sign program complies with the standards and guidelines set forth in the Sign Ordinance, including the maximum number of signs per tenant, wall sign construction/materials, and the basic dimensions of each wall sign, including sign area and text height. Each proposed sign location and area meets the intent of the Sign Ordinance. There are some minor corrections and additions in the text that are required. The applicant proposes a standardized font (Helvetica Regular) with the option to allow for corporate trademarked font, colors, and logos. Staff has no concerns with this font as it is legible and similar to other fonts used on other commercial locations. Likewise, the option to have corporate trademarked font or colors is acceptable as it is a Planning Department policy to allow them The wall signs (Sign Type "A") will be constructed of individual internally illuminated 4-inch thick channel letters — box, cabinet, and painted signs will be prohibited. These signs will be mounted 2 inches off the wall plane with raceways located behind the wall. The proposed maximum vertical dimension for a line of text and/or the logo on a one-line sign is 24 inches; for a two-line sign the maximum vertical dimension is 26 inches (10 inches per line with 6 inches between the lines). The proposed maximum horizontal dimension for a line of text, including the logo for both one- and two-line signs, is 8 feet. The proposed maximum sign area is 16 square feet (one-line signs) and 17.3 square feet (two-line signs). The wall signs will not negatively impact any significant architectural features, elements, or details. The proposed sign locations will be on the elevations facing Base Line Road, Amethyst Avenue, and the parking lot. The specific location of each sign will be on the wall planes under the gable roofs directly over the entrances. Because of the internal layout of the building, only the retail space will have a sign on the west elevation. No signs are proposed or permitted on the east elevation of the building or on any elevation of the existing house that will be converted to an office. In all cases, the sign program clearly states the sign location restrictions (or will be revised to state the restrictions). DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2009-00697 - NASSEF ESKANDER (FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL) August 17, 2010 Page 2 The window signs (Sign Type "B"), the Sign Ordinance exempts "convenience signs" that are less than 3 square feet (1,296 square inches) in area. The proposed convenience signs will be 140 square inches (per tenant). The monument sign (Sign Type "C") will be located at the southwest corner of the project site near the intersection of Base Line Road and Amethyst Avenue. It will be constructed of two (2) pillars finished with river rock and decorative caps with two concrete panels (one for each tenant) bridging the pillars. Both sides of the panels, constructed of concrete 6 inches thick, will serve as the surface to which individual 3/4-inch thick plastic letters will be attached. The monument sign will be externally illuminated by ground-mounted lights. The proposed maximum vertical dimension for a line of text and/or the logo on a one-line sign is 10 inches; for a two-line sign the maximum vertical dimension is 26 inches (10 inches per line with 6 inches between lines). The proposed maximum horizontal dimension for a line of text, including the logo for both one- and two-line signs, is slightly less than 8 feet. The proposed maximum sign area will be about 6.7 square feet (one-line signs) and 17.3 square feet (two-line signs). The overall height of the monument sign will be 8 feet measured from the finished grade to the top of the 9 9 9 P pillars —the maximum allowed by the Sign Ordinance. 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 maximum vertical dimension for a wall sign comprised of one line of text shall be 18-inches as opposed to 24 inches for consistency with other similar signs for minor retail tenants, i.e. non-anchor retail tenants, located at other commercial locations. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues. 1. None. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion. 1. All sign areas shall be horizontally centered under the ridgeline of the gable roof directly above each sign and shall be located equidistant on the top and bottom from the nearest architectural feature. 2. The river rock on the pillars of the monument sign shall be real river rock and not a manufactured veneer. 3. Correct minor text errors within the sign program and add more information for clarity of the requirements Include in the corrections a statement that all tenants shall be limited to having a total of three (3) signs with the option of either three wall signs and no sign on the monument or 2 wall signs with one sign on the monument. Contact staff for further discussion. 4. The applicant is advised that the addition of any tenants warranting additional sign locations or any modifications to the location and physical dimensions of signs, will require an amendment to this Uniform Sign Program for review and approval by the Planning Director and/or the Design Review Committee.

Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 15 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 - Minor Land Divisions - as the proposal is to subdivide the property into four parcels or less. The properties to the north, east, and west of the project site are developed with single-family residences; directly across the street to the west is the historic Isle House; to the south is the Pacific Electric Trail project, as well as Grapeland Elementary School. The property is zoned Residential Low (L) District, Etiwanda Specific Plan. The properties to the north and east are zoned Low (L) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan. The properties to the west are zoned Very Low (VL) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan. The property has street frontage along Etiwanda Avenue. The only access to the site is via a driveway at Etiwanda Avenue. The subject property is generally level with a southerly slope. This proposal is to subdivide the property into two (2) parcels of 3.46 acres and .54-acre of land, respectively. The new lot line between the two parcels will separate the developed and undeveloped areas of the site. The historic depot structure and rail spur will be on the smaller .54-acre parcel, with the weigh scale and other ancillary equipment on the larger 3.46-acre parcel. The subdivision will not require any significant changes to existing structures. A conceptual master plan has been provided to illustrate the potential site layout for the entire 4-acre site. Both Parcels 1 and 2 will share reciprocal access from Etiwanda Avenue for ingress and egress through a reciprocal Easement Deed. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Major/Secondary Issues: None. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be approved and forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and action. Design Review Committee Action: The project was approved as presented.

APN: 1087-101-01 thru -55, 1087-111-01 thru -02, 1087-111-14 thru 1087-111-19, 1087-111-21, and 1087-111-27 thru 1087-111-36. Related files: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16226-1. Staff has found the project to be within the scope of the project covered by a prior Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse #88082915 and #98121091 certified by the City Council on August 1, 2001) and does not raise or create new environmental impacts not already considered in that Environmental Impact Report. Background: On October 25, 2006, the Planning Commission approved Development Review DRC2006-00382 for the development of 97 homes on a 34.1-acre site within the 632-unit Master Planned Community of Rancho Etiwanda Estates. Because of a shifting demand in the housing market, the applicant, K. Hovnanian Homes, is requesting modifications of their previously approved Development Review. This request is incorporating a single-story plan into the remaining 79 homes that are left to build in this development, which will complete the build. The applicant is required to develop within substantial compliance with the Etiwanda North Specific Plan (ENSP), incorporating the architecture and design details of the Etiwanda area. Requirements include side-on garages, recessed garages, exterior siding, and specific architectural styles. A Development Agreement with the annexation into the City was approved in 2001 that required the Low Residential standards for all lots within this tract. The property was rough graded in June of 2004. The area was mass graded and infrastructure was installed. The master developer has installed the main access of the gated community, as well as the slope landscaping and decorative perimeter walls. These walls are consistent throughout the entire master-planned community. The site is bordered by vacant land to the west; by single-family homes to the north, by Day Creek Boulevard to the south; and by a portion of Tract 16227, built by K. Hovnanian, to the east. Design Parameters: The project site is located within the "Upper Etiwanda" neighborhood, which has its own unique architectural design guidelines per the ENSP. The ENSP requires that a mix of the following primary architectural styles be used for at least two-thirds of the units: Bungalow, Ranch, Monterey, or San Juan. Up to one-third of the units may use these styles: Country, Victorian, or Santa Barbara Revival. The proposed modifications are consistent with the required architectural styles and include downsized floor plans that range from a 2,737 square foot plan to a 3,392 square foot plan. The original plans ranged from 3,050 to 4,000 square feet and contained no single-story homes. These new plans provide a large yard area to meet the demand of the current housing market. A total of 26 (33 percent) of the proposed house product will be single-story. The two-story plans have been designed with 3 floor plans and all the plans have four architectural styles. The proposed architectural styles are San Juan, Santa Barbara Revival, Country, and Ranch. The San Juan elevation incorporates wrought iron details, recessed windows, decorative shutters, and arched patio/entryway. The Santa Barbara Revival incorporates built-up eaves, louvered shutters, and recessed windows. The Country style incorporates DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2010-00259 - K. HOVNANIAN August 17, 2010 Page 2 brick veneer elements, flat tile roof, and balconies. The Ranch style incorporates louvered shutters, recessed windows, and stone veneer. All four sides of all homes have articulation and incorporate decorative garage doors to match the architectural style of the home. Each of the four plans feature covered porch entries that range in size dependent upon the style. 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 applicant has worked diligently with staff. Together with the Development Agreement and discussions with staff, there are no major 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 applicant has worked diligently with staff. Together with the Development Agreement and discussions with staff, there are no secondary issues. Policy Issues: The.following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. Boulders from the project site shall be utilized and integrated as part of the front yard Landscape Plan, per the Master Plan Resolution of Approval. 2 Driveways shall be colored and scored in a diagonal pattern for additional entryway detail. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee recommend approval of the project subject to the above revisions. Design Review Committee Action: The Committee members reviewed the project and brought up several deficiencies in the design of the project. The Committee did not feel that Plan 4, the hybrid one-story, met the intent of a true one-story and, therefore, did not meet the 25 percent one-story product requirement. The Committee requested the applicant revise the plan to establish a true one-story plan. Also, the applicant needs to increase the percentage of side-on or recessed garages to meet the 30 percent minimum requirement. The Committee felt that the architectural design and plotting did not meet the Etiwanda North Specific Plan requirements. Specifically, the homes as plotted were not staggered enough to create a variety of frontages as indicated in the Design Guidelines. Additionally, the architectural elements of each style were understated, especially in the Ranch and Monterey styles. They felt that the elements that were used were very similar and did not demonstrate a true representation of the architectural style that was DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2010-00259 - K. HOVNANIAN August 17, 2010 Page 3 being conveyed. The Committee also felt that the architectural style was sparse as it moved from the front elevations to the sides and rear. They felt the elements that were used on the front elevations should be utilized more on the side and rear elevations. The Committee asked that the applicant work with staff on the issues and return to Design Review Committee at a later date.
