The Committee (Chitiea, Tolstoy, Kroutil) reviewed the proposal and did not approve the request. The Committee felt that the elimination of Plan 1 would not provide sufficient variation in the streetscape the remaining floor plans are too similar in form and mass. The applicant should either introduce a new floor plan or add an elevation to each approved floor plan that is significantly different than the approved elevations. The new floor plan or elevations should be used beginning with Phase I. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 6:30 - 7:00 Scott February 21, 1991 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 90-21 - SCHLOSSER FORGE - The development of a 14,000 square foot industrial building within an existing manufacturing complex in the Medium Impact Heavy Industrial Designation (Subarea 9) of the Industrial Specific Plan, located at the southwest corner of Arrow Route and Rochester Avenue - APN: 229-111-17 and 18. Related File: Variance 90-14 Backqround: On December 6, 1990, the Design Review Committee (Chitiea, Tolstoy, Kroutil) reviewed the original submittal for a 14,000 square foot building located along the Arrow Route frontage. The plans called for a 25-foot high, concrete tilt-up building painted to match the adjacent metal building (Harvest Gold and Sepia Brown). The Committee recommended that the applicant explore a design that would allow the building to "fade into the background." Suggestions included the use of sandblasted panels, mild accent striping, extensive landscaping along the Arrow Route frontage. Following the meeting, staff re-examined the development agreement entered into by the City and Schlosser Forge in 1986, allowing Schlosser Forge to expand their facility in accordance with the 1981 Industrial Specific Plan regulations for Subarea 9. Staff feels that the intent of the agreement allows Schlosser Forge to construct new buildings not only in accordance with the 1981 standards but also consistent with existing buildings on the site. Based on this information and the desires of the applicant, the plans have been revised to propose a 22-foot, 6-inch high metal building. No changes are proposed for the site plan from those reviewed by the Committee. Staff Comments: 1. The accent striping proposed for the new building varies from that of the existing building. The Committee should review this issue to determine if the same accent treatment should be utilized on the new building. 2. Extensive landscaping should be provided along the Arrow Route frontage. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Suzanne Chitlea, Peter Tolstoy, Otto Kroutil Staff Planner: Scott Murphy The Committee recommended approval of the proposal subject to the following conditions: DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS DR 90-21 - SCHLOSSER FORGE FEBRUARY 21, 1991 Page 2 1. The accent striping (both horizontal and vertical) should be consistent with the existing buildings. 2. Extensive landscaping should be provided along the Arrow frontage. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:00 - 7:30 Scott February 21, 1991 MODIFICATION TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 89-18 - WESTERN PROPERTIES - A request to revise the approved elevation for Ralph's market within the Central Park Plaza Shopping Center, located at the southeast corner of Milliken Avenue and Base Line Road. Background: On June 27, 1990, the Planning Commission approved the conceptual plans for the Central Park Plaza Shopping Center, including the elevations for Majors "A" (Ralph's) and "B" (Thrifty's) and Shops 1-3. During the plan check process, Ralph's has inquired about enclosing the arcade area along the front of the building, creating a vestibule housing the shopping carts. On January 3, 1991, the Design Review Committee (Chitlea, Tolstoy, Kroutil) reviewed plans for enclosing the arcade area. While the wainscot and storefront glass were consistent with the center, the Committee did not approve the proposed revision because enclosing the vestibule would reduce the interest of the building's facade, the level of articulation would be reduced, and the shadow pattern creating the feeling of depth and richness would be eliminated. Staff Comments: The applicant has been apprised of the Design Review Committee's action and has requested that this item be scheduled as a regular item so that they may discuss the revisions with the Committee. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Suzanne Chitlea, Peter Tolstoy, Otto Kroutil Staff Planner: Scott Murphy The Committee reviewed the proposal and did not recommend approval. The Committee felt that enclosing the arcade area would reduce the interest of the building's facade, the level of articulation, the shadow pattern creating the feeling of depth and richness, and the pedestrian movement across the front of the building. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:30 - 8:00 Scott February 21, 1991 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 89-18 - WESTERN PROPERTIES - Review of proposed bus shelter for the Central Park Plaza Shopping Center (southeast corner of Milliken and Base Line Road) and consideration of using the proposed design as the standard design for the Terra Vista Planned Community. Backqround: In approving the Central Park Plaza Shopping Center (CUP 89-18), the Planning Commission required, as a condition of approval, the design of the bus shelter to be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Committee. In addition, there was discussion amongst the Commissioners as to whether a uniform design should be implemented. Some members felt that the shelters should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Others felt that a basic structure could be established with variations being provided from one location to another. Staff Comments: Western Properties has submitted a bus shelter design that is a slightly modified version of the shelter constructed for Town Center. Western Properties would like to use this design at Central Park Plaza and at other locations within Terra Vista. The shelter would be used at three (3) other locations, with the possible addition of two (2} locations, along the major arterials. Considering the style of the shelter and the trend towards Spanish-Mediterranean architecture, the shelter may be consistent with a number of future projects. For other locations (i.e. Rancho San Antonio Hospital), the structure may seem out of place. After reviewing the standard design, the Design Review Committee should I) determine if the design is appropriate for Central Park Plaza, and 2) make a recommendation to the Planning Commission for use of the design as the standard within Terra Vista. Desiqn Review Committee Action: Members Present: Suzanne Chitiea, Peter Tolstoy, Otto Krouril Staff Planner: Scott Murphy The Committee recommended approval of the bus shelter design for use in Central Park Plaza subject to the following: 1. The detailing (color, wainscot, roof tile, etc.) should be consistent with the approved detail s for the center. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS CUP 89-18 - WESTERN PROPERTIES FEBRUARY 21, 1991 Page 2 The arched openings should be constructed consistent with the arches within the center. The arches on the rear elevation should use 2 x trim across the bottom and I x trim along the side and around the top. The side and front arches should be layered. In considering the shelter design for use as the Terra Vista standard design, the Committee felt that, while the form and dimensions may be standarized, the detailing of the shelter should reflect the architectural character of the adjacent center. The Committee wishes to review bus shelter designs at other location in conjunction with the development plans for the site.
