DESIGN REVIEW CO~4ENTS 6:00 - 6:30 Chris September 6, 1988 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 88-22 ALLSTATE RECYCLING SERVICE - The development of an office and warehouse building totaling 5,000 square feet on 1.7 acres of land in the Heavy Industrial District (Subarea 15) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan located on the south side of Whittram Avenue, east of Pecan Avenue - APN: 229-192- 10. Staff CoBBants: The Con~ittee reviewed the proposal on August 4, 1988 and requested that the applicant work with staff to revise the site plan and elevations to create more interest. Additional landscaping was to be designed into the parking area and more articulation given to the existing 8' screen wall. To date revised plans have not been submitted for staff comment, however, they will be available at the meeting. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Peter Tolstoy, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Chris Westman The Committee reviewed the project and made recommendations for conditions of approval. All revisions should be reviewed by staff and approved by the City Planner. 1. A split face veneer should be used as treatment for the existing screen wall on Whittram. 2. A split face block should be used consistently throughout the project as a uniform accent material. 3. Berming should be used along the Whittram Street frontage to reduce the height impact of the screen wall. 4. All gates within public view should be of a view obscuring material and design. 5. A list of building materials and examples of materials and colors should be approved by the City Planner prior to building permit issuance. The applicant and Committee spoke of earthtones and tans. 6. Design details of the screen wall should be submitted and approved by the City Planner prior to building permit issuance. 7. There was a general consensus that the building design was acceptable. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS DR 88-25 - Lennon Architecture September 8, 1988 Page 2 2. Staff suggests that the backup fire lane on the easterly end of the north elevation be composed of a turf block in order to reduce the amount of paving in this area. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Peter Tolstoy, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Cindy Norris The Con~nittee recommended approval of the project with the recommendation that the trash enclosure at the northeast portion of the site be relocated in order to provide landscape screening around the unit. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 6:30 - 7:00 Cindy September 8, 1988 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 88-25 - LENNON ARCHITECTURE - The development of an office, manufacturing and warehouse building totaling 29,860 square feet on 1.5 acres of land in the General Industrial District (Subarea 5) of the Industrial Specific Plan, located on the south side of Sharon Circle, east of Hermosa Avenue - APN: 209- 261-23. Site Characteristics: The site is currently vacant with an approximate slope of 2% from north to south. The site is bounded to the east by the Deer Creek Flood Control Channel while to the north, south and west is vacant land. However, a project for three multi-tenant industrial buildings (DR 87- 20) has been approved to the south and west while a single industrial building has been approved to the northwest of the subject parcel. In addition, a project for an 11,744 square foot industrial building was approved on November 4, 1987 for the subject parcel. Staff Cements: Architecture: The corner of the building facing Sharon Circle has two rectangular arches projecting from the north and west building planes. The arches and entry area have an accent grid pattern which is continued around the building above the windows in a horizontal band. This grid pattern is also utilized on the east and south elevations while vertical accent stripes, that are composed of a larger grid pattern are used on all elevations. This proposed architectural treatment is consistent with the adjacent approved buildings which have utilized a combination of sandblasted concrete and painted accent stripes. In addition, all of the adjacent buildings have incorporated some blue into their color schemes. 1. The loading door on the west elevation should be painted to match the adjacent walls. 2. The screen walls around the employee patio area should be of a consistent material and color as the adjacent wall. Landscaping 1. Additional tall growing landscaping should be added to the planter finger north of the loading area on the west el evation to screen this area from view.

DESIGN REVIEW CO)ENTS 7:00 - 7:30 Tom September 8, 1988 MINOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 88-15 - BOATRIGHT - A request to add a 9,000 square foot warehouse building on 2.4 acres of land in the General Industrial (Subarea 8) of the Industrial Specific Plan, located at 10912 Jersey Boulevard - APN: 209-142-10. Design Parameters: The proposed project is an expansion of the existing warehouse facility for the Pacific Western Door Company. The project site is currently vacant (asphalt paved) and is immediately adjacent to the existing warehouse. The property to the north and west is the Rancho Cucamonga Business Park and the property to the south and east is vacant. Staff Coments: The proposed expansion is in substantial conformance with the Industrial Area Specific Plan. The applicant is proposing to add a metal building, which although is not a permitted building material in this subarea it is consistent with a previous site expansion (MDR 88-02). The proposed expansion will utilize a split-faced block, metal siding, and a uniform color scheme. The applicant is proposing to upgrade the existing fascia on the front of the building. The existing roof mounted equipment will be lowered and will not be visible from Jersey Boulevard. The landscape improvements will upgrade the site to conform to the landscape requirements along the project perimeter and adjacent to the proposed and existing building. The applicant also proposes to upgrade landscaping in the front setback. Oesign Revie~ Co~aittee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Peter Tolstoy, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Tom Grahn The Committee recommended approval based on the following recommendations: 1. Additional landscaping should be provided along the north and west property lines where there is a space between buildings on the adjacent property. 2. Modifications to the building front should include a material similar to that of the proposed addition and not stucco. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:30 ~ 8:00 Chris September 8, 1988 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 88-28 - DAMON DE CROW - The development of a 49 bed hospital totaling 45,008 square feet on 1.9 acres in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 7) located west of White Oak at the terminus of Spruce Avenue - APN: 208-351-78, 79. Beckground: This project is Phase II of an approved 4 phase Master P1 an for a hospital facility for Continental Health Medical Services. Phase I was approved along with the overall Master Plan under CUP 87-17. Phase II is not in strict conformance with the original approval and therefore modifications are required to the Master Plan. Specific changes are: 1. The building configuration and pad size are substantially different. 2. Parking and general circulation have changed. 3. The main plaza has been redesigned with a garden wall along the south side which allows public access only from the north. Staff Coment: Site Plan 1. The southern parking lot has good vehicular circulation however does not promote safe and direct pedestrian access to the buildings. Articulated pathways should be included in the overall site design. 2. Sufficient space for landscaping should be provided adjacent to the building on all sides. 3. The service court should be screened from the south. 4. Special paving should be used for walkways and doctor/employee entrances. 5. Sound and visual buffers should separate the ambulance and secondary entrance. Architecture 1. All roof mounted equipment must be screened to an architecturally integrated roof screen or parapet. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS DR 88-28 - Damon De Crow September 8, 1988 Page 2 2. The roof line is low and essentially at a single plane. Either a planar treatment for shadow patterning or a vertical treatment to vary the silhouette should be considered. 3. Materials and colors should be the same as on Phase I. Landscape 1. Accent canopy trees along with shrubbery and ground cover should be introduced into the plaza area. 2. Landscape should be provided along the southern building facades. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Peter Tolstoy, Dan Coleman Staff P1 anner: Chris Westman The Committee reviewed the project and made the following comments to be forwarded to the Planning Commission: 1. Articulated pathways should be included in the overall site plan to help direct pedestrian flow primarily to and from the parking areas. 2. Sufficient space for landscaping should be provided adjacent to the building. The south faces of the building were of special concern to the Con~nittee. A suggested minimum was 5 feet. 3. All service areas must be screened from public circulation areas, both vehicular and pedestrian, through the use of a combination of landscape and architectural screen walls. 4. Special paving should be used for walkways and doctor/employee entrances as well as main entrances and walks. 5. Sound and visual buffers should separate the emergency and main hospital entries. 6. The Committee has a great concern for the effects of strong winds particularly at the northeasterly main entrance and emergency doors. Therefore wind mitigation should be incorporated into the design of the building and/or site which will significantly reduce or eliminate wind impacts. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS DR 88-28 - Damon De Crow September 8, 1988 Page 3 7. All roof and ground mounted equipment and storage containers should be architecturally screened. 8. Additional landscape should be provided within the "courtyards". 9. Accent canopy trees, shrubs and ground cover should be introduced into the main plaza and courtyards. The Committee reviewed the alternative of emergency access bisecting the main plaza for access to the south portion of the site; however, neither supported nor rejected the option. All of the revisions should be completed and presented to the Design Review Committee at the following Design Review Committee meeting on September 22, 1988.
