ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 85-09 DEL TACO - The
development of a 1,900 square foot fast food restaurant, located at the
northwest corner of Foothill and Haven Avenue on approximately .12 acres
(Virginia Dare Business Center), in the General Commercial (GC) District - APN
- 1077-401-027.
Background: On June 8, 1983, the Planning Commission reviewed and
conceptually approved the master plan and circulation for the Virginia Dare
Center. However, at their meeting on January 9, 1985, the Planning Commission
expressed concerns with development of Parcel 5 as a fast food use. This use
was planned as a free-standing building with full views from Haven Avenue.
The Commission optioned to let the developer attempt to mitigate Commission
concerns through an attractive design element and landscaping treatment.
Design Parameters: The project site is located within the Virginia Dare
Business Center which has an overall approved architectural program that
reflects the winery theme and mission-style architecture. The architectural
statement for all building should be compatible and have architectural
elements that carry through the overall program.
Staff Conmnents:
Site Plan: Is the proposed drive-thru adequately mitigated through overhead
trellis and bermed screening?
Architecture: The proposed elevations are in keeping with the approved design
programs; however, there may need to be additional treatment to the windows
such as arches.

DESIGN REVIEW FOR TRACT 12040 - ANDEN GROUP - Reapplication for design review
of new architectural elevations and changes to the site plan for 328
condominium units on 25.6 acres of land in the Medium Residential District 8-
14 du/ac, located at the northeast corner of Turner Avenue and Arrow Highway -
APN 208-341-11.
Design Parameters
This project was originally approved by the Planning Commission on November
25, 1981, and had been recorded since 1983. The developer is proposing new
elevations for the 328 condominiums and redesigning the site plan by deleting
7 of the total 48 building pads while maintaining the same number of units,
but increasing the percentage of land area for common open space. The overall
design of the site plan basically remains the same in regard to building pad
area, interior circulation and open space area. Attached for your review are
the previous site plan and elevations and the proposed ones, Exhibits A1 and
A2.
Issues: Since this is a recorded tract, should Staff review the proposed
changes to the site plan under the current Development Codes? The following
is a list of the discrepancies the site plan has with the current codes:
A building setback of 100 feet required when two-story
buildings abut single family lots along the north property line
versus 20', 30', and 24' setbacks shown for Buildings 43, 44,
and 45 respectively.
The required building setbacks along Arrow Highway and Turner
Avenue are 55 feet and 45 feet respectively. The current code
requires an additional 10 feet when a project is within the
Medium Residential District, versus 43 feet and 37 feet shown.
The building setback from interior property boundary is 20
feet. Affected the east property line that abuts the Flood
Channel, versus 15 feet shown.
4. A noise study is required per the Noise Element of the General
Plan.
Neighborhood Meeting: On April 16, 1985, the developer conducted a
neighborhood meeting in order to present their revised plans to the adjacent
residents and to receive input from them. Four residents from the single
family tract to the north attended the meeting. The concensus among the
attendees was that the proposed changes were an upgrade of the project and
that they would like this project to be constructed.

Tract 2040 -

Staff C~m~nts
Site Plan: The elimination of 7 building pads netted 12.7% more of the land
area for useable open space and the units are clustered in 8 plexes. However,
the site plan could be improved through the following:
1. The visitors parking spaces should be provided to all dwelling
units within a distance of 150 feet (per Development Code).
2. All visitors parking should be designed at a 90 degree angle -
see Exhibit "B".
Guest parking should not be located at the curve of the
driveway, as it may create traffic hazard because of the
visibility and backing out. See Exhibit "C".
Architecture: The previous architecture features wood siding and asphalt
shingle roof materials. The new architecture is Spanish style with off-white
stucco walls and red tile roof. The new elevation has some architectural
details and wood trim. Overall, the new elevations are an upgrade of the
previous ones. The arrangement of the building pads with units on the second
floor creates a streetscape of garages; however, this same arrangement of
buildings was in the previously approved site plan. Attached for your review
are the previous elevations and the proposed ones, Exhibits "A2" and D2",
respectively.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW NO. 85-10 OLYMPUS - The
development of 120 apartment units 8.66 acres of land in the Medium
Residential District (8-14 du/ac), located on the west side of Archibald
Avenue, south of Monte Vista Street - APN 202-141-11.
Oestgn Parameters
The project site is currently a citrus grove with Eucalyptus windrows around
the perimeter and scattered throughout the site that are proposed for
removal. The density proposed is 13.85 units per acre. Bordering the site to
the north is an older single family neighborhood with a number of accessory
structures, some of which are located on the common property line. To the
south is an elementary school off of Amethyst, and an equipment rental yard
off of Archibald.
Staff Coments
Site Plan:
A number of existing (non-citrus) trees on the property could
be saved as shown on the grading plan though adjustments to the
site plan will be necessary. A report from an arborist should
be required to determine the variety, size and general
condition of the trees.
The building nearest Amethyst will have patios looking into the
rear yard of an existing home, and adjustments should be
considered.
At the southeast corner of the site, one building is orientated
with the units facing the rental yard. Consider reversing the
location of the building and northerly parking lot. This
should provide better open space orientation and could improve
the current inefficient parking lot design.
4. Continuous sidewalks should be provided to connect all areas of
the site with the recreation amenities.
5. Consider off-setting the angle of buildings in relationship to
the main circulation drive and Archibald Avenue.
6. Consider the use of wrought iron versus a solid wall along the
south property line to visually connect with the school yard.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 11915-2 - ROBERTSON HOMES - The
development of 150 condominium units on 10.70 net acres of land in the medium
residential district (8-14 du/ac), located at the southeast corner of Arrow
Route and Turner Avenue - APN 209-091-11.
Design Parameters
At the April 4, 1985 Design Review Meeting, this project was reviewed and a
number of comments provided as indicated on the attached Design Review
Committee Action. At the April 18, meeting, a revised conceptual site plan
was reviewed during the consent calendar with major changes that the Committee
felt were a benefit. Considering the extent of the revisions, the final
detailed site plan must again be reviewed by the Technical and Design Review
Committee meetings prior to Planning Commission review. Oral comments will be
presented at the Design Review Committee Meeting.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 11915-2 - ROBERTSON HOMES -
The development of 150 condominium units on 10.70 net acres of land in
the Medium Residential District (8-14 du/ac), located at the southeast
corner of Arrow Route and Turner Avenue - APN 209-091-11.
I)esjgn Parameters
Surrounding this site is a diversity of land use and zoning including
existing and planned single-family homes to the west and south, existing
and planned commercial to the west and northwest, and future multi-
family to the north and east. Currently a 150 townhouse apartment
project is approved on the subject property. Although the current
~roposal has the same number of units, stacked flats with carports
versus garages)' are proposed. The result of this change is
considerably more common open space and increased setbacks from Arrow
and Turner.
Site Plan
1. Expand the open space in the central area of the project
and increase the landscaping between aisles and parking
and building areas.
Architecture
The overall design quality of the recreation-building
should be improved. Consider revisions such as exposed
beam work to break up the roof form and eave line and a
heavy wood beam patio-like structure at the rear of the-
building extending out toward the pool.
Landscape berming and retaining walls should be used to
screen the parking along the street frontages, and
upgraded carport design with heavy beamwork and trellis
work shall also be required.

Expand central open space areas and create more
significant greenway spine. This can be accomplished by
reducing building setbacks along the south project
boundary and street frontages.
2. Relocate the recreation building to align with the south
end of the Arrow entrance.
Enhance the architecture of the recreation building with
expansive use of trellis work and other elements to
generally improve the design.
The end building elevation (without the stairs) must be
enhanced by creating greater variation in the
architectural planes, such as furred out walls from the
eave line to the ground.
5. Carport elevations must be provided. Lattice work is
required at the end stall.
Design details of the perimeter wall along Arrow and
Turner must be provided. A variable setback of the wall
is required and the design should incorporate significant
use of wrought iron with masonry pilasters.
7. Trellis work must be provided over trasn enclosures for
shading.

TIME EXTENSION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 83-08 - LEWIS - The development of a
377,665 square foot shopping center including a drive-through restaurant on
8.67 acres of land in the General Commercial District located at the southeast
corner of Foothill and Hellman - APN 208-261-25, 26.
Design Parameters
This project was reviewed by the Planning Commission at the April 10, 1985
meeting during review of a Time Extension request. The Commission was
dissatisfied with the approved master plan for the center and directed the
Design Review Committee to review the project within thirty days. A reduced
copy of the approved master plan is attached. The major area of concern is
pedestrian orientation. Staff has met with Lewis Homes to discuss the design
issues and revised plans will be presented at the meeting.
