DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 6:00 - 6:30 Nancy September 4, 1986 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 86-15 - MESSENGER/CROWN COACH - The establishment of a motor home/bus assembly business within an ~ing 168,000 square foot industrial manufacturing building, and a 83,000 square foot expansion of such existing building on 11.8 acres of land in the General Industrial/Rail Served District, Subarea 2, located at the SEC of Arrow Hwy. & Vineyard Ave. - APN: 209-12-15. Design Parameters: The site was originally developed as a manufacturing building for Otis Elevator Plant and was last occupied by Wheat Motor Home Assembly. The existing building is unoccupied. Although on-site and off-site improvements are installed, some of the improvements are considered as non-conforming according to the current Industrial Specific Plan Standards. For example, missing improvements include such items as meandering sidewalk, extra 4 feet dedication along Arrow Hwy, on-site landscaping, screening of outdoor storage, and plaza areas. The southern portion of the site is vacant and was part of a previously approved Phase III of the Master Plan (DR 86-13). Concurrently with this proposed project, the developers are requesting for an amendment to the previously approved Master Plan. Staff Coements: Issues: 1. Does the proposed location of the loading facility facing Vineyard Avenue, comply with the intent of the Industrial Specific Plan screening requirements? The current Industrial Specific Plan Standards state that loading facilities shall be permitted only in the rear and interior side yard areas. Therefore, the proposed loading facility should be reoriented to the south side of the building, where it could be adequately screened from Vineyard Avenue. Further, by locating the loading facilities to the south side, the majority of the truck traffic would make use of the traffic signals on 9th Street and Vineyard and enter the project from 9th Street. Thus, alleviating traffic impacts on Vineyard Avenue) 2. Is the proposed metal expansion of the existing metal building consistent with the Design Guidelines of the Industrial Specific Plan? The current Design Guidelines does not preclude the use of metal buildings; however, when used, it shall be architecturally designed to be compatible with the surrounding land use and architecture. Further, the metal building shall be designed with the same goals of providing articulation to the building plane and architectural detailing and elements. The applicant intends to repaint and clean-up the existing building. Site Plan: 1. The proposed site plan should be revised as follows: a. Provide employee outdoor eating area on north side of existing bull ding commensurate with size of largest employee shift. b. Provide a uniform design of fencing materials and security gates. c. Provide details of screening from public view of outdoor storage of finished vehicles on east side of building. Elevations: 1. The existing facility should be upgraded as follows: a. Extend the roof height to screen all roof mounted equipment. b. Repaint the building and replace all broken windows. c. Provide stronger office entrance statement from Arrow Hwy. 2. The north and the west elevation of the existing building and new expansion should be upgraded with additional architectural elements. Articulation is encouraged through the use of openings and recesses which create texture and shadow patterns and provide variety to the building plane. Landscaping 1. All existing trees shall be saved. 2. Should a landscaped planter be provided along the east property boundary? 3. Special landscaping treatment such as intensifying the number of trees and shrubs, size of trees and shrubs should be provided within the setback area along Arrow Hwy. per City requirements.

A 6' wide planter or a continuous block wall should be provided along the entire length of the existing and proposed building (east elevation), for screening the outdoor storage of finished vehicles, as shown in attachment A. 8. Employee outdoor eating area should be provided on north side of existing building commensurate with size of 1 argest employee shift. 9. A uniform design of fencing materials (block wall, wrought iron) and security gates should be provided. The existing chain link fence and barbed wire should be replaced with wrought iron materials. Elevations: 1. The existing facility should be upgraded with repainting the side and replacing any broken windows; extending roof height to screen all roof mounted equipments. 2. The exposed footing of the new bulding located at the west and south elevations should be covered with materials consistent with the architecture to the satisfaction of the City Planner. Landscaping: 1. All existing trees shall be saved by remaining in place or relocated to a suitable area. 2. A 6' wide landscaped planter be provided along the east property boundary for the entire length of the parking area as shown in attachment A 3.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 6:30 - 7:00 Nancy September 4, 1986 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 84-31 - DIVERSIFIED - The request to amend the approved site plan for Phase III development of an approved shopping center (Haven Village) on 3.45 acres of land in the Neighborhood Commercial District, located at the northeast corner of Haven Avenue and Highland Avenue - APN: 207-271-53. Design Parameters: The site is vacant and is Phase III of the Haven Village Shopping Center as shown in Exhi bit "A". At present, Phase I and II; which is Lucky's Market, Retail Buildings i and 2 and the Payless Drug Store, are under construction. Lot area for Phase III has been reduced from 3.45 acres to 1.70 acres based on the newest design of freeway right-of-way from Cal Trans. The developer has redesigned the Phase III site plan in order to integrate it to the overall design of the shopping center as shown in Exhibit "B". Staff Coments: Site Plan: 1. The parking area to the north of the proposed Retail Building No. 3 should be revised so the cars head in along the north elevation, to provide adequate turning radius for truck traffic, see Exhibit "C". 2. The building placement of proposed Retail Building No. 3 encroaches the parking area for Payless project. Since Payless store is under construction, the developer should improve Phase III development except for the proposed Retail Building #3, along with Payless project for better integration of these projects. 3. The north/south temporary access that connects the project with Haven Avenue was previously approved by Cal Trans. In considering the several large residential developments to the east of the project (936 dwelling units Bensen, and 411 single family homes Caryn Planned Community), Staff is concerned that this temporary access could create cumulative impact of traffic and could have potential traffic conflict on Highland Avenue. The two main accesses along Haven Avenue for the shopping center would meet the Fire Department Code. Based on the potential traffic conflict and the cumulative impact of traffic, Engineering Staff is recommending that this temporary access be deleted from the project. Elevations: At this time, the developer has not proposed any elevations for Retail Building No. 3. However, the architectural program proposed for this Retail Building No. 3 should be consistent with the rest of the shopping center. Landscaping: The planter area along the south property boundary should be increased to a minimum of 10 feet for providing a landscape buffer between the freeway and the project. Further, dense landscaping and special treatment should be provided for mitigating the aesthetic and visual impact. Design Review Cmittee Action: Members Present: Brad Bullet, Dennis Stout Staff Planner: Nancy Fong The Committee recommended approval of the project with the following conditions: 1. The propoed Retail Building No. 3 and areas around it would be subjected to further review and modification as new development plans are submitted for review. 2. Phase III development except for Retail Building No. 3 should be improved along with Payless project. 3. To alleviate potential traffic conflict, the driveway access and the T intersection on Highland Avenue shall be designed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. 4. A 10 foot wide landscape planter should be provided along both sides of the entire length of the temporary access. NORTH CITY OF tTv~, ~ RANCHO CUCAMONGA rnTuz,_ .
