NF:cv DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 6:00 - 6:30 Nancy December 19, 1985 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DR 85-45 AJA The development of 2 one-story office buildings, totaling 22,832 square feet, 2 one-story R & D buildings, totaling 38,940 square feet, and 2 one-story multi- tenant industrial buildings, totaling 28,228 square feet, on 7.09 acres of land in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 6), and Haven Avenue Overlay District, located at the northeast corner of Haven Avenue and Acacia Street - APN: 209-401-01. Design Parameters The site is vacant and is relatively level. A Metropolitan Water District easement exists within the landscape setback area along Acacia. A landscape easement and construction easement exists within the landscaping building setback area to the west, and an 8th Street easement exists within the parking area to the north (8th Street has been vacated by the City). Although the grade is substantially below Haven, the ultimate plan is to build an underpass under the railroad tracks which would reverse the grades. Staff Coaiaents Site Plan: The overall site plan with its building placement, dispersed parking areas, and the plaza, comply with the development policies for Haven Avenue. The design of the plaza area should be enhanced with pedestrian oriented facilities such as shaded seating areas with attractive landscaping, fountains, public park and/or kiosks, benches, trash receptacles, and other street furniture. Buildings E and F should be identified as multi-tenant industrial buildings, with 1/400 square foot parking ratio, as a transition to the large warehouse/distribution buildings to the east. Architecture: The overall elevation for this project represents a sophisticated style of architecture, consisting of painted and texturized concrete panels and reveals, painted accented bands, and spandrel glass. Further, two-story office building fronts on Haven Avenue, which complies with the Haven Avenue Overlay District. I)esign Review Co~ittee Action: Members Present: Dennis Stout, Dan Coleman Project Planner: Nancy Fong The Committee recommended approval of the project, and the revised site plans that show Buildings A and B being combined with the open space areas located at the northwest portion of the site. The Committee recommended the following conditions: Any proposed roof-mounted equipment be screened and the design be architecturally integrated with the elevations. 2. Buildings E and F be identified as multi-tenant industrial buildings with 1/400 square foot parking ratio. A combined monument/project identification sign be provided at the northeast corner of Haven Avenue and Acacia Street. The design of such sign be consistent with the southerly approved 45 project (DR 8 - 1). Cross sections be provided for the northwest portion of the site showing the proposed site design without the "detour" and one with the "detour" incorporated. Special landscaping treatments be provided along Acacia Street and within parking area to mitigate the loss of tree planting within the Metropolitan Water District easement. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 6:30 - 7:00 Nancy December 19, 1985 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 85-46 - JONES The development of a 150,000 square foot warehouse/distribution building and two light industrial buildings, totaling 41,100 square feet on 9.23 acres of land, in the General Industrial District, Subarea 14, located at the northeast corner of 4th Street and Santa Anita Avenue - APN 229-283-44 and 42. Design Parameters The site is vacant and vegetation consists of abandoned grapevines. improvements are fully completed except for driveway entrances. Street Staff Cog~nents Site Plan Expand plaza areas for Building A and Building B at the building entrances. The plaza areas should be integrated with pedestrian walkways, defined by landscaping and provided with pedestrian oriented facilities such as shaded seating areas, attractive landscaping and other street furniture. Loading dock area north of 4th Street should be adequately screened from public view through the use of concrete, masonry or other decorative materials, not to exceed a height of 8 feet from the highest grade and landscaped berms. Architecture An architectural focal point with plaza areas and open space areas should be provided at the southwest corner of Building C, Building B, and the east elevation of Building A entrance. Building C, having expanses of blank building walls, should be treated with additional architectural embellishments to create interest at the south and west elevations. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Dennis Stout, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Nancy Fong The Committee recommended approval with the following conditions: The proposed driveway access from 4th Street be eliminated as it is not in conformance with City access policies, the Committee could not make the findings for supporting such access. Colored and texturized treatment in squares be added to the original proposed elevation as shown in Exhibit "A". Also, such treatment be added to the southern portion of the east elevation for building. The color palette be of greyish tone with accent color for the building entrance columns. 3. Reciprocal use of plaza area be provided. Special landscape treatment be provided to the corner of 4th Street and Santa Anita Avenue, as well as the two project entrances on Santa Anita Avenue.

Landscaping: Specimen-size trees should be provided along Utica and against southwest elevation. Oesign Review Con~ittee Action: Members Present: Dennis Stout, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: John Meyer The Committee recommended approval of project, the revised site plan showing a wider setback from the east property boundary, and the revised east and north elevations showing variation to building planes.
