The Committee (Chitiea, Vallette, Kroutil) reviewed the proposed color modification and did not recommend approval. It was the opinion of the Committee that the proposed color would blend in too much with the adjacent asphalt and concrete. The approved color provided enough variation that it made the pavers stand out and differentiate from adjacent material. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 6:30 - 7:00 Steve H. May 16, 1991 DESIGN REVIEW OF BUILDING 11 OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 89-08 - HUGHES INVESTMENTS - The design review of the revised detailed site plan and building elevations for shops Building I~ within the previously approved Vineyards Marketplace Shopping Center, which consists of 11 buildings totaling 122,673 square feet on 12.9 acres of land within the Village Commercial District of the Victoria Community Plan, located at the southeast corner of Highland and Milliken Avenues - APN: 227-011-22. Abstract: As directed by the Planning Commission, per Resolution No. 89-146A, this building was required to be re-evaluated by the Design Review Co~auittee to address potential design concerns associated with the building pad switch for Buildings "~0" and "11", which was approved by the Planning Commission on April 10, 1991. It is the developers intent to construct Building "11" with Phase 1. The site has been graded and Phase 1 construction of Buildings "3" through "7" has begun. Background: The Vineyards Marketplace Shopping Center was conceptually approved by the Planning Commission On November 29, 1989. The Original approval included conceptual building elevations for Buildings "10" and "11", as well as a detailed site plan that indicated the larger (now Building "11") building adjacent to the pedestrian plaza (at the southwest corner of the site) and the smaller Building "10" adjacent to the Kenyon Way vehicular entrance. Since that time, the Planning Commission conceptually approved a modification to the previously approved site plan that plotted the smaller Building "10" adjacent to the corner and the larger shops Building "11" by the Kenyon Way entrance. Staff ~ents: At the time of comment preparation, plans depicting any architectural modifications to Building "11" had not been submitted to staff; it is staffs understanding that the developer will be proposing the identical elevations for Building "11" that were previously conceptually approved by the Planning Commission on November 29, 1989. Therefore, the Design Review Committee should review the Building "11" elevations and adjacent affected areas as they relate to the buildings new location. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Suzanne Chitiea, Wendy Vallette, Otto Kroutil Staff Planner: Steve Hayes DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS CUP 89-08 - HUGHES INVESTMENTS MAY 16, 1991 Page 2 The Committee recommended approval of Building 11 in its new location subject to the following conditions: The west and east elevations should be "mirrored" to allow the more articulated side elevation to be viewed from the Kenyon Way vehicular entrance. Additional storefront glass should be provided on the new east elevation of Building 11. Full columns should be provided in areas where half columns were proposed. On the north elevation, the popped out area should be shifted to an area of greater depth from the parking lot. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:00 - 7:30 Steve H. May 16, 1991 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 90-20 - SYCAMORE VILLAGE - The development of 16.94 acres for a mixed office/commercial master plan, consisting of 11 office/retail buildings totaling 173,450 square feet with Phase 1 development consisting of 6 two-story office/retail buildings totaling 113,450 square feet on 3.21 acres of land in the Special Commercial District of Subarea 1 of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, located on the north side of Foothill Boulevard, between Baker Avenue and Red Hill Country Club Drive APN: 207-101-13, 17, 24, 25 and 41. Tree Permit Removal application pending. Abstract: The purpose of tonight's review is to allow the applicant the opportunity to address specific design issues raised at the most recent Planning Commission workshop of May 2, 1991. These issues can be briefly summarized as follows: 1. Open swale screening on Red Hill (grading and landscape); 2. Expansion of Phase 1 parking lot; 3. Building "G" massing, rooflines, material use, and detailing; and 4. Accent colors. Staff Comments: Revised plans were not available for staff review at the time of comment preparation. Therefore, the Committee should review the revised plans based on the previous workshops design issues. Design Review Corm{tree Action: Members Present: Suzanne Chitiea, Wendy Vallette, Otto Kroutil Staff Planner: Steve Hayes The Design Review Committee recommended approval of the project subject to the following conditions: The Committee recommended approval of the revised south elevation alternative for Building "G" (see attached) with the following conditions: a) The window and door treatment used on the pentagonal entrance alternative should be utilized; DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS CUP 90-20 - SYCAMORE VILLAGE MAY 16, 1991 Page 2 5. 6. 7. 8. b) Low stone or concrete capped cheek walls should be provided to flank the main entry stairway. Potted plants should be utilized at the upper and lower termini of the cheek walls, to the satisfaction of the City Planner; c) The wood members used to accent the central roof gable should be more substantial to appear in proportion with other wood elements of the building; d) Wheel chair ramps for handicap access should be shown on the revised Building "G" elevations; e) A detail of the exposed ceiling rafters above the primary entrance should be provided for Committee review; and f) The stone areas behind the low stone planters on the south elevation may be replaced with wood siding. In trade, the bases of all courtyard buildings should include stone bases to reflect the heritage of craftsman architecture. The Committee recommended approval of the revised west elevation of Building "G" and directed the architect to revise the east elevation accordingly. The gable roof accent detail should be revised to include return timbers, plates and ledgers where the wood frame accent element returns to the building wall. The window trim should be upgraded to a minimum size of 2 x 6 inches for all buildings. All railings within the project should be changed to be consistent with the new design reflected on the Building "G" elevations. The post beam cage detail on the courtyard buildings should be modified to a less contemporary design. All courtyard building windows should be similar in design (shape, mullion use) to windows on Building "G." The Committee recommended that the architect purpose a three dimensional rendering of the Buildings "A" and "B" courtyard elevations. This request stemmed from the Committee's concern for a symmetry of the roof massing and the lattice detailing near the roof hip. DESIGN REVIEW COFa~ENTS CUP 90-20 - SYCAMORE VILLAGE MAY 16, 1991 Page 3 The Committee directed the architect to include a detail of the termination between the wood siding and window framing for staff review during the plan checking process. The Committee preferred to have the wood siding die into the window framing as opposed to the window framing placed over the siding. Finally, the Committee suggested that the pentagonal entrance proposed on one of the Building "G" south elevation options may be acceptable on the future phase two buildings, provided other site plan considerations (circulation, viewsheds) accentuate this feature properly.
