ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 85-40 BANKS The
development of a two-story professional office building consisting of 8,515
square feet on 0.53 acres of land in Subarea 7 of the Industrial Area Specific
Plan located on the north side of Civic Center Drive, west of Red Oak Street
(Lot 6) in a Rancho Cucamonga Business Park - APN 208-062-06
DESIGN PARAMETERS
The site is vacant and is part of the master planned Rancho Cucamonga Business
Park as shown in Exhibit "A". Street are fully improved except for driveways.
STAFF COI~!ENTS
Site Plan. The proposed site plan appears to be consistent with the
conceptual master plan, however, the landscape coverage has been reduced
through the addition of two two-car garages and other parking areas. The
design of the site plan did provide for a small courtyard plaza area.
Landscaping. The main entrance is on the east elevation which caused a
sidewalk to eliminate 5(3% of the landscape planter. Staff recommends
providing an entrance on the north side (where the main parking area is)
tO eliminate sidewalk. Further, handicap parking space and ramp should be
relocated to provide planter finger per original master plan concept.
Elevations. It cannot be said that there is really a "rear" elevation to
this building. All four sides of the building deserve architectural
treatment. Therefore, the north elevation and northern portion of the
west elevation should be improved through adding architectural
treatments. Landscaping should also be provided to the northern portion
of the west elevation to break up the blank walls of the garage.
DESIGN REVIEW CO~4ITTEE ACTION
Members Present: Dennis Stout, Suzanne Chitlea, Brad Buller
Staff Planner: Nancy Fong
The Committee recommended approval with the following conditions:
Provide landscape planter adjacent to the driveway and
relocate the handicapped parking space closer to the main
building entry.
The pedestrian walkway to the main building entrance
should be of brick materials compatible to the building
materials.
Provide pedestrian connection to the north by relocating
the trash enclosure to the last westerly parking space.
Provide pedestrian connections from Civic Center Drive to
the main building entrance.
Vines should be planted against garages to break up the
garage walls.
Add brick sill/arches details to the windows of the rear
elevations.
Add brick column at corners of
elevations including the garages
for the garage.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 85-28 - DICKER/WARMINGTON
- The development of an intregated shopping center of approximately 142,000
square feet which includes a total of 6 satellite buildings and drive-thru
facilities on 15.3 acres of land in the Neighborhood Commerical District of
the Terra Vista Planned Community, located at the northeast corner of Base
Line Road and Haven Avenue - APN 202-801-25, 26.
DESIGN pARAMETERS
The northeast corner of Base Line Road and Haven Avenue is designated as a
major gateway to Terra Vista which requires special theme and landscaping
treatment. The site is surrounded by residential development. A small pre-
school will be located at the northeast corner of Haven and Valencia.
ISSUES
0o the site plan and building placement provide adequate
pedestrian orientation and amenities in relation to the
scale of the project and the site?
Does the site plan provide for a center or a focal point
with a group of organized structures that encourages
pedeatrian orientation and resolve conflict of fragmented
building placement?
Do the elevations consistent with City policies regarding
a strong architectural theme that reflects community
heritage?
Site Plan.
The proposed satellite buildings should be grouped so as
to provide for piazza/plazas, as well as opportunity for
providing additional architectural details to the
buildings.
Architecture.
The major anchors (retail/market/drugstores) elevations
should be strengthened by repeating similar architectural
treatment as shown in the elevations for Building 1 or
other element to relieve the flat wall/linear roof line.
The architecture should incorporate design details such
as bell towers, arcades with piers and inpost molding to
provide individuality between the 3 major anchors.

The proposed monument sign design appears massive and out
of scale with the copy area. A sign program must be
submitted for review and approval. The sign program
should identify the major tenant locations that will be
exempt from the required sign criterias. The sign
criteria for the remainder of the center should be of a
generic store name nature with a single letter style and
a single color (excluding logos). A maximum of two
monuments signs will be permitted for this development
(no individual monument sign for satellite pads).
Landscaping.
The landscaping scheme should mitigate the usual
afternoon prevailing winds and the strong Santa Ana
winds.
Dense landscaping and berming required along Valencia to

Combination of hedgerow, low profile walls and mounding
should be used to screen parking areas from all streets.
DESIGN REVIEW C0)e4II'TEE ACTION
Members Present: Dennis Stout, Suzanne Chitiea, Brad Buller
Project Planner: Nancy Fong
The Committee did not recommend approval as follows:
1. The proposed site plan with its building configuration
and the satellite building placements do not provide for
a center or a focal point that encourages groups of
organized structures and promotes safe and convenient
pedestrian connections. The Committee made the following
recommendations:
a) Cluster satellite buildings to provide opportunities
for plazas and courtyards.
b)
Eliminate parking areas at the corner of Base Line
and Haven as it is a major gateway for Terra Vista
Planned Community. This corner should be provided
with special design treatment to reinforce the
community's identity, enhance the visual quality of
the project and provide a pleasing environment.
c)
Provide more pedestrian connections throughout the
site for promoting convenient and safe pedestrian
movement.
The proposed elevations do not provide for a strong
architectural statement that reflects the community
goals. The elevation should be redesigned to provide a
distinctive architectural theme that makes a statement in
the City.
The Committee suggested a workshop be scheduled to review
and discuss any proposed redesign of this project (A
tentative date has been set for December 19, 1985 regular
Design Review Committee meeting).

Mission
Mission Style 1890-1920
Characteristic of the Mission style is simplicity of form. Round
arches supported by piers punctuate stucco or plastered
walls. Color and texture are provided in the broad red-tiled
roof. Root eaves with exposed rafters may extend well beyond
the walls. At times the plain wall surface is continued upward
forming a parapet. Towers, curvilinear gables and small
balconies or balconets are used on large buildings. The only
surface ornamentation is a plain string course that outlines
arches. occasional gables and balconies.

Mission Style is one of three revivals, at times dLfficu~t to distinguish from
one another, all going back to Spanish Colonial precedents. These
buildings employ recognizable features--the bell tower, for example of
Spanish missions TO building programs--a railroad station undreamed of
in colonial times The application of a stucco Mission Style facade to a
Washington town house demonstrates how tar revivaiists could go to
employ a fashionable style.

Spanish Colonial
Revival 1 91 5-1940
The unique feature of the Spanish Colonial Revival style is the
ornate low-relief carvings highlighting arches, columns,
window surrounds and cornices and parapets. Red-tiled
hipped roofs and arcaded porches also are typical. Stone or
brick exterior wal Is often are left exposed or fin ished in plaster
or stucco, Windows can be either straight or arched. Iron
window grilles and balconies also may be used. A molded or
arcaded cornice highlights the eaves. The facades of large
buildings often are enriched with curvilinear and decorated
parapets, cornice window heads, and symbolic bell tower

E, Spanish Bungalow, Nashville, Tennessee
The buildings shown here, reminiscent of the grander, more obviously
baroque examples of Spanish Colonial building, also demonstrate the
style's popularity in Florida, which, like the Southwest, has a strong
Spanish heritage. The vogue for revival of Spanish Colonial forms was not
confined to the large-scale buildings in most of the preceding photographs.
A stucco-walled, tile-roofed variation in the modest bungalow was popular
from 1913 through the 1920s all over the country.
