Committee Action:
Revised building elevations.
The Design_ Review Committee (McNiel,
h ed
Tolstoy, Coleman) reviewed t e revis
elevations and did not recommend
approval. The Committee felt that the
design of the 3450 and 3500 plans more
closely depicted the intent of the
Hillside Ordinance. The 5400 plan was
approaching the direction previously
requested by the Committee. The 4000
and 4300 plans, however, still require
additional work to bring the scale and
massing of the buildings down.
Additional sketches should be
submitted for Committee review. The
applicant should consider greater use

Committee Action:
Revised recreation building
elevations.
The Committee (McNiel, Tolstoy,
Coleman) reviewed the revised
recreation building elevations and
denied the request for conceptual
approval. The Committee has requested
that the item come back as a regular
Design Review Committee item once the
architecture has been revised. The
Committee, at this time, could not
support the project due to its marked
lack of articulation, utilization of
innovative materials and multi-planes
(or pop-out elements). The Committee
has recommended that the applicant
utilize the elements of the originally
approved recreational building within
the scale down.

Committee Action:
Location of sidewalk on north side of
Wilson Avenue.
The Committee supported the
continuation of a sidewalk on the
north side of Wilson to Beryl
Avenue. The Committee approved a
section which provided a 26-foot
right-of-way which accommodates both a
community trail and a sidewalk. The
remainder of the originally proposed

DESIGN REVIEW FOR TENTATIVE TRACTS 14380, 14381, 14382 (3 PHASES OF
TRACT 13527) - WATT INLAND EMPIRE - The design review of building
elevations and detailed site plan for a previously approved tentative
tract map consisting of 152 single family lots on 51.6 acres of land in
the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located
north of 24th Street and west of Etiwanda Avenue - APN: 225-071-65.
Background:
The above project was approved by the Planning Commission on
September 26, 1990. A modification to the Tentative Tract Map was
approved by the Planning Commission on March 27, 1991. This
modification provided for a temporary on-site detention basin at the
northwest corner of 24th Street and Cervantes Place. The basin will
remain until such time in the future that the developer is allowed to
construct more permanent detention facilities within the Etiwanda Creek
Spreading Grounds- Conditions of approval require that the proposed
on-site detention basin shall be reviewed and approved by the Design
Review Committee prior to the issuance of building permits for any phase
of Tentative Tract 13527.
Staff Comments:
The landscape plan as submitted indicates a hydroseed mix along the
basin slope, mainly for erosion control. The mixture consists of
natural grasses and annuals. Staff has recommended that some
taller shrub species (such as Acacia or Rhus) be included in the
slope planting area.
An additional hydroseed mix is called out along the north side of
24th Street. AS proposed at this point, 24th Street will only be
improved with interim half street improvements. The proposed
landscaping is temporary and will be removed when 24th Street is
fully improved. This hydroseed mix contains native as well as
exotic annuals and groundcover. Also, Eucalyptus maculata is
planted along this frontage.
Groupings of Eucalyptus maculata and Eucalyptus sideroxlon have
been planted at the top of the detention basin slope- The sizes of
the trees are composed of 50 percent 1-gallon, 30 percent 5-gallon
and 20 percent 15-gallon. The smaller sizes have been proposed
since the landscaping is temporary and since the landscape
architect feels the trees will be more easily established. Staff
feels the concept is acceptable, however, additional trees should
be concentrated along the northerly boundary to screen the basin
from proposed residences to the north.

Chain link fencing is proposed around the perimeter of the basin
adjacent to the top of the slope. The more highly visible portions
of the fence should be planted with vines for additional screening.

Staff Planner: Beverly Nissen
The Committee approved the conceptual landscape plan with
review the following items:
1.
staff to
The Eucalyptus trees on 24th Street and on the northerly boundary
should be partially replaced with another species of tree which
will provide a lower canopy and greater screening potential.
TUbular steel should be used in place of the proposed chain link
fencing.
Vines should be planted along the tubular steel fence for screening
purposes.
The irrigation system should be designed to provide a separate
system (either drip or bubbler) for the row of trees. A separate
series of heads should be provided for the groundcover along the
slope.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 91-01 VICTORY
CHAPEL - A request to locate a temporary modular multi-purpose building
of 912 square feet on the site of the existing 6,000 square foot Victory
Chapel, located on .74 acres of land in the Industrial Park District
(Subarea 7) of the Industrial Specific Plan at 11837 Foothill Boulevard,

Variance 91-07
Background:
Victory Chapel received Planning Commission approval for Conditional Use
Permit 82-06 to occupy the existing winery building on-site on
June 9, 1982. Since that time, the church has grown to the point where
the existing building is no longer sufficient to serve their needs.
Therefore, the applicant moved a modular trailer on their property for
children's classes, youth ministries and various social functions, prior
to filing a Conditional Use permit application- Since contacted by the
City, the applicant has been actively processing this application. On
April 24, 1991, the Planning Commission directed the applicant to file a
Variance application to waive the requirement for a master plan for
permanent buildings. The Variance has been received by staff and will
be reviewed concurrently with the Conditional Use Permit by the Planning
Commission at such time this project is recommended for approval by the
review Committees. Therefore, the scope of review tonight should only
cover the temporary trailer and related improvements; a future permanent
building to replace the module will not be reviewed unless the
Commission directs the applicant to do so by denying the related
Variance.
Design Parameters:
The site currently contains the existing Victory Chapel building,
63 parking spaces, and a landscaped area on the northeast portion of the
site. The entire southern portion of the site is an asphalt area
striped for parking; it contains no landscaping- Also, as mentioned
earlier, the modular building in question is currently on-site, in an
asphalt area behind the Chapel building, not conflicting with any
parking areas. It is not being utilized at this time- The frontage on
Foothill Boulevard serves as the primary access for the site, and a dirt
access from Rochester Avenue south of the Cowgirl Theatre parking lot
provides a secondary point of ingress/egress. The site slopes from
north to south at approximately 3 percent.
Staff Comments:
The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
CUP 91-01 - VICTORY CHAPEL
JULY 18, 1991

Major Issues:
The following broad design issues
discussion regarding this project.
1.
will be the focus of Committee
The modular building should be more compatible with the existing
Chapel building. Suggested items include an alternate skirting
material (rock, brick), painting and texturing the module to match
the existing building, stepped roofs, overhangs and walkways.
Dense landscaping, including box size columnar evergreen trees and
fast growing evergreen shrubs, should be provided along the south,
west, and east elevations of the temporary building. The
feasibility of the continued potential health of the proposed
potted trees and shrubs should be discussed by the Committee.
Secondary Issues:
Once all the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues.
Box size trees should be concentrated along visually prominent
portions of the parking lot (i.e-, southern and western
boundaries). The Committee should discuss possible alternatives to
planting trees directly into the ground (i.e., pots, etc.) due to
the anticipated short life span of the project.
Design Review Co-~{ttee Action:
Members Present: Larry McNiel, Peter Tolstoy, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner: Steve Hayes
The Design Review Committee recommended approval of the proposed project
subject to the following:
1. A wood sided exterior skirting closely resembling the siding on the
trailer should be utilized.
The trailer should be painted to match the existing chapel building
as close as possible.
A drip irrigation system should be used within all tree pots. The
irrigation system should be on an automatic controller system to
insure proper watering.
