DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 6:00 - 6:30 Brett October 5, 1989 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 89-18 - WESTERN PROPERTIES The development of a neighborhood commercial shopping center consisting of 12 retail buildings totaling 119,948 square feet on 12.68 acres of land within the Terra Vista Planned Co~nunity located at the southeast corner of Milliken Avenue and Base Line Road - APN: 227-151-13. Staff Con~lents: Architecture: 1. The rear of Majors "A" and "B" and adjoining shops have been upgraded but may still need additional work, with tile roof elements, special trim and similar articulation. 2. The storefront designs should be substantially upgraded. Staff suggests tile bases, multi-paned windows, variety in the wall locations (with off-sets) and special door detailing. Site Plan: 1. In general, buildings and building overhangs are too close to drive aisles and sidewalks. Building Pads "F", "C", and "E", and "B" should be setback further from the curbs to provide landscaping and additional walk area. 2. More landscaping and planter areas are needed in front of all store fronts, including plantin~ in front of Major "A". 3. Additional screening should also be provided to the rear of Major "A", Major "B" and shops No. 2 and 3 (to screen from Belvino Way and future residences on the east side of Belvino Way). 4. The parkings stalls directly north of Major "B" are too close to the store fronts. Staff suggests that this area be reserved for pedestrian amenities and landscaping. Parking should not occur directly in front of stores. 5. Pad "A" is proposed for a automotive service type use. Final details of that Pad would be made through a Conditional Use Permit application. However, the Committee will need to address compatibility issues at this time. Landscaping: 1. Full land scaping improvements should be made on the "Not a Part" parcel to screen the rear of the center and to provide a consistent streetscape along Terra Vista Parkway and Belvino Way. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS CUP 89-18 - WESTERN PROPERTIES Page 2 2. Additional tree planting is needed surrounding Pad "D" along Milliken Avenue and Base Line Road. 3. Seat walls should include back rests. Benches as well as seat walls may be needed. Design Review Comnittee Action: Members Present: Suzanne Chitiea, Peter Tolstoy, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Brett Homer The Co~mnittee did not believe the proposed project was consistent with the General Design Guidelines of the Development Code (page 114) with respect to building pad placement, pedestrian circulation, and architectural detailing. The Con~nittee reviewed the plans and expressed concern with the following aspects of the project: 1. Entry statements with pedestrian walkways and/or plazas should be provided at all three corners of the center. 2. Pad buildings should be grouped together in order to create a more pedestrian atmosphere and to allow for plaza areas between. 3. The automotive store {Pad A} should be reoriented so that the service bays cannot be seen from Milliken Avenue or Tetra Vista Parkway. Special architectural treatment should be used to mitigate the service bays. 4. The not a part parcel should be better integrated into the remainder of the center. It should architecturally be compatible with the center. Full landscaping should be provided on the site. 5. The "straight shot" of the storefront from shop No. 1 to shop No. 3 should be eliminated. Ralph's should be moved south to create an off-set. Other stores should also be off-set. 6. Parking directly in front of shops should be eliminated. 7. The following architectural changes were recommended: a. Ralph's storefront should be upgraded; with additional detailing, particularly around the columns and archways; b. Additional detailing of the columns should be provided. A different material should be used; DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS CUP 89-18 - WESTERN PROPERTIES Page 3 c. Outdoor vending machines should be set into facades, screened, or eliminated altogether; d. Parapet detailing should be enhanced and varied in alignment; e. Much more tile roofing should be provided along the rear elevations; f. A wall cap detail should be added to the screen wall which may need to be increased in height; g. A two-story element was suggested next to Thrifty to provide an entry statement; h. The color palette should be revised; i. Storefronts should be significantly upg raded to the level of detailing on the Terra Vista Village Center (i.e., tile base, wall off-sets, etc); j. In general, the level of detailing should be upgraded. 8. Enriched paving should be used in front of all storefronts. The pattern should appear less "vehicular." 9. Decorative drive aisle paving should extend the full length of the entry drives. 10. The recycling center should be designed to meet City Standards. 11. The drive-thru bank at the northwest corner of the site should be relocated to provide a more pedestrian atmosphere at th at corner. 12. Buildings should be moved further back from the walks and parking stalls outside of their storefronts. 13. Landscaping in front of storefronts and Pad D should be substantially increased. The project should return as a full item for additional Committee review. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 6:30 - 7:00 Brett October 5, 1989 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 89-08 HUGHES INVESTMENTS The development of an integrated shopping center consisting of 11 buildings totaling 127,261 square feet on 12.9 acres of land in the Neighborhood Conmercial District of the Victoria Community Plan located at the southeast corner of Highland Avenue and Milliken Avenue - APN: 227-011-22. Background: This project was previously heard on May 18, 1989. The Committee made the following comments: 1. A Conceptual Plan should be provided which depicts anticipated drive-thru and food uses within the center. These plans, which may consist of overlays, should meet all City Standards in terms of the drive-thru policies and parking requirements. 2. In general, landscaping areas and tree plantings should be increased throughout the site. substantial landscape planting area should be provided in the area of the service station. The Committee recommended that the width of the planting area behind the supermarket and drug store be extended on the shopping center property, south of Lot A. 3. The architectural scheme should be modified to include much greater detailing, such as cap, cornice, base, and trim elements. In general, all elevations need to be enhanced. Suggestions included making modifications to building mass and bulk, use of spandrel glass to encourage pedestrian activity on all street facing elevations, additional storefront detailing, and increased emphasis on entries and other focal points. The Committee was especially concerned with the rear elevations facing the freeway, which they recommended for substantial improvements. 4. The architectural theme should be more residential in character than industrial. The Committee suggested the architectural elements associated with the areas' historic winery structures. The Committee felt the use of arches, gables, and towers was appropriate. 5. A major entry statement should be made along Milliken Avenue, either at the entrance driveway along that street or at the northeast corner of Kenyon Way and Milliken Avenue. The relocation of Buildings 9 and 10 was also suggested. It was suggested that these buildings be grouped closer together with a small plaza area in between them. The entry should include such items as special accent landscaping, special paving, seating, and perhaps a fountain. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS CUP 89-08- HUGHES INVESTMENTS Page 2 6. Parking in front of the storefronts should be eliminated or confined to only a few stalls in localized areas. This will allow for additional landscaping and site furniture, such as bike racks, low seat walls, potted plants, trash receptacles, etc. No vending machines or other apparatus should be permitted within the center. 7. The area in front of the Albertson's should be expanded to provide enhanced paving areas, low raised planter areas, and other pedestrian amenities. It was recommended that this area be at least 15 feet in width for substantial tree planting. The area should be designed to discourage outdoor storage of shopping carts and merchandise. A paving detail and sample should be provided. 8. Additional landscaping and planting area should be provided in the areas visible from the service station areas, including the west elevations of shops at Building 7 and Albertson's. The planter width south of the 4 parking stalls by the entry drive off of Milliken should be increased to accommodate tree planting. In general, planter widths throughout the site need to be increased to accommodate additional tree planting. This would include tree wells within the parking lots. 9. Accent paving at all driveway entries should be substantially increased in depth. 10. Satellite pedestrian plaza areas with pedestrian areas should be provided. 11. Details of the crib retaining wall should be provided. 12. Details of the light standards, trash enclosures, and other site furniture should be provided. 13. Elevations of the recycling center facility should be provided with the details to be worked out with City staff. 14. The service station should reflect the detailing and architectural theme of the center as a whole. The colors, roof tile, and building materials should be integrated with the materials of construction within the shopping center. 15. The planter area at the northeast corner of Shops 3 should be increased in width to accommodate tree planting. 16. Trash enclosure areas should be designed to prevent parking in front of them. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS CUP 89-08- HUGHES INVESll4ENTS Page 3 Staff Comments: 1. Landscaping should be provided on the south side of the future freeway right-of-way (Lot a A). This was strongly recommended by the Design Review Committee. Substantial planting {trees and shrubs} should also be provided directly adjacent to the northeast corner of Albertson's, and within a much wider planter along the west elevation at Shops 7. 2. The 50 foot wide opening to the service station should be reduced in width or eliminated by providing a continuous planter. This would allow for more vehicle stacking and less vehicular conflicts. The service bays may need to be reoriented. 3. The pedestrian aisle across the drive-thru lane should be eliminated if possible. The drive-thru lane may need to be reconfigured, especially since technical comment No. I will revise the entire pad layout. 4. Building 11 should be set back further from the main entry drive aisle. 5. Wider landscape planters should be provided between the drive-thru lane, parking lot, and Milliken Avenue entry drive aisle. 6. The Committee may desire to have a greater column overhang on many of the exterior facing building elevations, so that a true colonnade is provided. 7. Landscape planters (minimum 5 feet in width) should be provided outside the Building 10 storefront, between the parking spaces and columns. 8- Tree planting should be provided along the east elevation of Building 9 and the north and west elevation of Building 11. 9. The location and size of all roof mounted equipment should be determined and shown on the sections on Sheet 13. Top screening as well as screen walls may need to be used. 10. Parking stalls directly in front of storefronts are discouraged by the Design Review Committee and should be eliminated. 11. Pedestrian connections from the sidewalks on Kenyon Way and Woodruff Place to the site should be provided, particularly at Building 1. A pedestrian trail exists to the south of Building i DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS CUP 89-08- HUGHES INVESll~ENTS Page 4 on the south side of Kenyon Way. A walk should also be provided on the south side of the entry drive on Woodruff Place. It should connect to shop No. 2. 12. The architecture of the Mobil gas station should more closely reflect that of the rest of the center. Include elements such as columns, roof overhangs, concrete or stone trim, cornice, tile accents, and other design features. Design Review Conmittee Action: Members Present: Suzanne Chitlea, Peter Tolstoy, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Brett Homer The Con~nittee reviewed the revised plans. The following item still need to be addressed prior to recommending approval of the project: 1. Vision glass at the back of the storefronts was acceptable to the Committee in lieu of a true colonnade. No storage should be allowed here, however. 2. The prominent tower element should be lowered and revised with more openings and additional detailing. The same was recommended for other towers, such as on Building 11. 3. The Mobil gas station should be upgraded to be more architecturally compatible with the remainder of the center, if a separate Conditional Use Permit is not submitted. 4. Parking directly in front of storefronts should be eliminated per previous direction. 5. Tree planting and planter areas should be provided along the screen wall in back of Albertson's. 6. Special paving within the gas station should be provided. Variation in the pattern, color, and material should be made. 7. The paving at all three entries should extend the full length of the entry aisle. 8. Any outdoor vending machines should be eliminated or recessed into the building face. 9. Paving outside the storefronts should appear more pedestrian and less vehicular. A quarry tile was recommended. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS CUP 89-08 - HUGHES INVESllIENTS Page 5 10. The planter width along Shops 7 should be increased to better accommodate tree planting. The project should return to the Con~nittee for additional review. Once the technical issues (i.e., the truck turning radii problems) are resolved. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:00- 7:30 Bruce October 5, 1989 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 89-05 FOOD SERVICE MANAG~MENT (ARBY 'S/ - The development of a 2,537 square foot drive-thru fast food restaurant on .26 acres within the 7.8 acre Alta Loma Country Village Shopping Center in the Neighborhood Commercial District located at the northeast corner of Carnelian Avenue and Base Line Road - APN: 202-381-24 thru 26, 28 thru 33, 35 and 36. RELATED: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 84-34 MOOIFIED/PR 88-85 Back~reund: The proposed Arby's Restaurant will be constructed within the Alta Loma Country Village Shopping Center at the northeast corner of Carnelian and Base Line Road. A proposal for rehabilitating the facade of the center, adding minor building additions and reconstructing drive approaches for the existing shopping center was approved by Planning Commission on November 14, 1984. On April 22, 1987, Planning Commission approved revised building elevations and site plan for Conditional Use Permit 84-34 (Modified). The building pad location for the proposed Arby's Restaurant was approved as part of the site plan under Conditional Use Permit 84-34 (modified). The proposed Arby's Restaurant has been designed to emulate the architecture of the proposed shopping center facade rehabilitation. Following is a list of concerns and comments that should be addressed by the Design Review Committee. Staff On July 6, 1989, the Design Review Committee examined plans for the proposed Arby's Restaurant. During that meeting the Committee made the following recommendations concerning the proposed plans and directed the applicant to resubmit revised plans addressing the Committees recommendations: Architecture: 1. Metal or wood trellises emulating the tower elements should be provided. One trellis would be located at the drive-thru pick-up window, spanning the drive-thru lane. The second arbor would be located at the southeast corner of the building over plaza area. 2. ll~e stuccoed towers should be modified to more closely emulate the proposed towers for the main building of the shopping center. In particular, the window treatment should simulate the windows on the shopping center towers. Spandrel glass is appropriate for this modification. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS DR 89-05- FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT Page 2 3. A wainscot material should be utilized on the building below the windows. The top edge of the wainscot could align with the bottom window sill, and wrap around the building. 4. A reveal should be provided at the top edge of the wainscot area, providing a shallow ledge around the building, aligning with the bottom of the windows. 5. A double reveal should be provided along the exterior of the arches and be carried around the eaves of the building. 6. Reveals should be used to "pop-out" or recess the main windows. 7. Columns should be increased in width from 12 inches to 14 or 15 inches. The columns should be constructed from a material such as cantera stone which would provide contrast to the stucco walls and durability against pedestrian traffic. 8. Wall lights shall be selected which provide both up lighting and down "wash" lighting of walls. The material and style should tie in with the architecture. Catalogue descriptions of the lights should be provided. 9. Details such as reveals, arches and columns should be utilized on all sides of the building including the rear. 10. The trash enclosure should emulate the building facade with reveals and use of the same materials. 11. The applicant agreed to modify building colors if necessary. The orange trim shall be deleted as orange was removed from the palette of colors for the rest of the center. 12. Building signage shall conform to a sign program for the shopping ce rite r. Site Plan/Landscape: 1. An outdoor eating area/plaza shall be provided in place of the planter at the southeast corner of the building. The plaza will incorporate planter areas for vines to be trained to grow on the proposed trellis over the plaza. 2. Con~pact spaces should be distributed over the site and clearly delineated. There should not be a row of compact spaces right at the front of the restaurant. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS DR 89-05- FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT Page 3 3. The sidewalk at the southwest portion of the building, between the building and the drive-thru lane under the eave of the building, should be replaced with landscaping. 4. The sidewalk on the east side of the building could be located a minimum 5 feet from the building and a planter area provided between the sidewalk and the building under the eave. 5. Additional shrubs should be provided in the west and north planter areas. The Comnittee should review the plan and elevations for completion of the revisions as recommended during the July 6, 1989 meeting. The following revisions have not been indicated on the resubmitted plans: 1. A double reveal should be provided along the exterior of the arches and be carried around the eaves of the building. 2. Reveals should be used to "pop-out" or recess the main windows. 3. Compact spaces should be distributed over the site and clearly delineated. There should not be a row of compact spaces right at the front of the restaurant. 4. Additional shrubs should be provided in the west and north planter areas. 5. Catalogue descriptions of the architectural lighting should be provided. Design Review Coamtttee Action: Meters Present: Suzanne Chitlea, Peter Tolstoy, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Bruce Abbott The Design Review Committee examined the plans for the proposed fast food restaurant and recommended that the plans be resubmitted for review as a Consent Calendar Item with the following revisions: 1. A double reveal should be provided along the exterior of the arches. 2. The arch treatment should be continued over the windows on the west and east elevation. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS DR 89-05- FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT Page 4 3. A revised planter incorporating a lattice should be provided at the east elevation at the base of the tower. The top of the planter should emulate and continue the reveal around the building. 4. Provide an enlarged view and section drawing of the patio indicating concrete benches and tables. 5. Enriched paving with interlocking pavers and concrete banding should be provided at the drive-thru entrance and exist. In addition, a metal fence will be located within the westerly planter area with an opening for a walk aligning with the proposed walk at the south building entrance. 6.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:30 - 8:00 Bruce October 5, 1989 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 88-18 - DIVERSIFIED A request to modify a previously approved master plan removing two building pads for the development of a fast food restaurant pad in the Neighborhood Commercial District on the northeast corner of Haven and Highland Avenues - APN: 201-271-58. Staff Conments: The Design Review Committee reviewed proposed plans and elevations for the McDonalds Restaurant and recommended that the following revisions be made: Building Elevations: 1. The staining scheme should be reversed with the trim being the darker stain and the siding receiving a light stain. 2. The vertical distance (height) of the parapet above the roof should be reduced and the surface area of the roof increased outside the parapet. 3. The tower should be square in shape and the windows on the east and west sides of the tower should be repeated on the north and south sides. This would cause the arch symbols to be deleted from the north and south sides of the tower. 4. Split columns should be used around the entire building. 5. Service doors at the south side should retain the light stain in order to blend with the siding. 6. The height of the letters on the signage should be reduced to a maximum height of 18 inches. The arch symbols should be proportionally reduced in size. 7, Bay window(s) with spandrel glass should be incorporated on the east side of the south elevation and an additional non-bay window with spandrel glass should be added to the west of the service doors on the south side of the building. 8. Existing proposed windows should be substituted with bay windows with exception of the windows flanking the doors. 9. The building facade below the bay windows should be extended from the bottom of the windows to the ground plane. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS CUP 88-18 - DIVERSIFIED Page 2 Site Plan: 1. A walk should be provided from the sidewalk adjacent to Haven Avenue to the building entrance by the plaza. 2. The plaza paving should be identified on the plans to be brick banding with the "enhanced paving" to match similarly used paving on the rest of the center. 3- Enriched paving should be used to define a "pedestrian path" across the northerly ends at the drive-thru isles and loading isle, utilizing the same paving as proposed for the plaza. 4. Durable, i.e., concrete benches and tables can be provided on the outdoor plaza to offset a reduction in indoor seating with the introduction of an indoor play area. 5. A 3 foot wide concrete walk and a 2 foot wide planter with a metal fence to match the existing metal site fencing should be added at the planter area bordering the east side of the drive-thru lane e nt ra nce. 6. The north-south circulation spine drive should be aligned to provide either a 90 degree "T" intersection or smoother curve at the northeast corner of the site. The applicant should provide alternative designs for this area showing modifications in parking and planter areas for each alternative to be reviewed by staff. The Committee requested that the project be reviewed at next Design Review Committee meeting. The applicant will bring revised overlay drawings of the site plan and elevations to the meeting, addressing the Committee's recommendations. Design Review Conmittee Action: Me~t>ers Present: Suzanne Chitlea, Peter Tolstoy, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Bruce Abbott The Design Review Committee recommended that plans be resubmitted as a Consent Calendar item showing revisions to the architecture and site plan as follows: Site Plan: 1. Modified alignment for automobile circulation space at the northeast portion of the site. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS CUP 88-18 - DIVERSIFIED Page 3 2. Connections for pedestrian circulation to the west and south side of the building. Architecture: 1. Square tower with increased width, three windows at each side and a flat peak. 2. Decrease height of sign and parapet behind the sign at the west elevation. 3. Split columns oriented perpendicular to the building and exposed rafter tails. 4. Service doors at the south elevation which emulate the window frames of the main building doors, but without glass. 5. Elevations utilizing a total of 3 signs for the entire building. Site A~nities: 1. Tables and benches of concrete construction for the plaza.
