DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
• 7:00 p.m. Debra Meier July 18, 2000
DESIGN REVIEW 99-13 MODIFICATION - LEW IS APARTMENT COMMUNITIES - Modification to
the recreation area of Tentative Tract 16000, including site plan and building elevations for Leasing
Building and Recreation Building, and the addition of a Fitness Building.
Background: The Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract 16000 and accompanying Deign
Review 99-13, located in Terra Vista north of Church Street and west of Spruce Street, on July 14,
1999. The project has been through plan check for grading, building, and site detail elements and
landscaping, and in fact grading on the site has begun. During the most recent plan review of the
landscape and site elements, we discovered that the recreation area has been completely
redesigned, including the building architecture. Therefore, the Committee review is focused on the
recreation area only, all other aspects of the project, including site plan and building architecture
have been reviewed for consistency with the approved plans during the plan check process.
The Main Recreation Area was approved with a combination of amenities including recreation
building, pool, spa, and sun deck, (see Exhibit "A"). The architecture of the recreation building,
along with the leasing office, was addressed during Design Review Committee. The focus at that
time was to achieve a level of design detail commensurate with the residential dwellings. Revised
plans were approved by the Commission at the time of project approval, (see Exhibit "B").
The revised recreation area (see Exhibit "C") now includes not only the pool, spa, and recreation
building, but now includes a separate fitness and restroom building, and a children's pool. The
recreation area has been modified by the applicant to increase the amenities available to future
residents. The three buildings are designed in the Mediterranean theme featuring clerestory window
• towers, (see Exhibit "D").
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion:
Recreation Building (Exhibit D-1 ): The original recreation building included a small
fitness/workout room. The fitness center has become a separate building, and the square
footage of the revised recreation building becomes correspondingly smaller. The
architecture is appropriately detailed to commensurate with the project design expectations.
2. Fitness Building (Exhibit "D-2"): The Fitness Building is intended to house the weight
training and similar "workout" equipment. It is attached by overhead trellis to a separate
restroom building, which is accessible to the outdoor pool area. The setting of the restroom
building provides a separation between the children's pool and the large pool, creating a
more confined space for younger children to play near the water. The architecture is
appropriately detailed to commensurate with the project design expectations.
3. Leasing Building (Exhibit "D-3"): This building has increased in square footage (from
2,084 square feet to 2,600 square feet) to include a kitchen, a concierge and business
center, and larger lobby and leasing display area, and office area. The architecture is
appropriately detailed commensurate with the project design expectations.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
• 7:40 p.m. Brent Le Count July 18, 2000
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-29 - GREG WATTSON -The development of a 6,600 square foot
multi-tenant retail building within an 82 acre iritegrated shopping center known as the Foothill
Marketplace Shopping Center in the Regional Related Commercial District of the Foothill Boulevard
Specific Plan (Subarea 4), located at the southwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Etiwand
Avenue - APN: 229-011-32.
Design Parameters: The site is the last pad within the Foothill Marketplace Shopping Center and is
along the Foothill Boulevard frontage. The pad has been graded and parking and landscape
improvements, including parkway improvements on Foothill Boulevard frontage are in-place. The
site is located between the Taco Bell building to the west and the Hollywood Video building on the
east. The proposed architecture, colors, and materials are consistent with the existing buildings
within the shopping center. The building is of relatively simple design with heavy reliance on trellises
and color variation to provide relief and visual interest.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project:
1. The north elevation, facing Foothill Boulevard, has the least amount of wall articulation and
visual interest. Provide a smaller tower element or other visually prominent feature on the
north elevation to address the Foothill Boulevard Frontage. The site falls within the Activity
Center so a 25-foot minimum setback from Foothill Boulevard is permitted. This provides
more than enough room for substantial enhancement of the north elevation.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Retaining wall around patio should be decorative wall to match those walls north of Golden
Spoon pad.
2. The dimensions of the wall pop outs on the south and north elevations should be increased
to provide a greater sense of depth.
3. Eliminate the entry tower pediment on the east elevation to be consistent with the center.
4. Colors, materials, and light fixtures shall match the theme established in the Foothill
Marketplace shopping center.
5. Eliminate parking space no. 7 and replace with landscaping to provide enhanced site entry.
6. Provide intensified landscaping around the trash enclosure and Edison box.
7. Roof/parapet projections should be finished all the way around to avoid looking clipped on
the rear and provide a more finished look.
• 8. Provide vine pockets at base of trellis columns so that vines will climb trellises.
9. Provide metal wall-mounted trellises on the north and west elevations with vines trained to
climb.

10. If the trellis-covered area at the northeast corner of the building is to be used for outdoor
eating, low walls or other means of wind reduction should be used given seasonal high
winds out of the northeast.
11. East facing doors are subject to high winds in the area. Suggest double door foyers if they
can be accommodated.
Policv Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
Roof equipment shall be fully screened from view. It appears that the A/C units are planned
to be higher than the parapets and may be visible from Foothill Boulevard. Either specify
lower units or raise parapet height.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval subject to the above comments.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Steward, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner Brent Le Count
The applicant's architect provided revised plans to address staff comments. The Committee
recommended approval of the revised plans subject to staff's suggestions and the following
additional comments. The applicant agreed to all requirements.
Provide an archway for the wall pop-out on the north elevation to match the archway on the
east elevation. Also provide a quatrefoil on the north wall pop-out.
It is strongly suggested that future tenant improvements include double door foyers on east
facing entrances to mitigate strong seasonal winds out of the northeast.
DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
• 8:20 p.m. Rudy Zeledon July 18, 2000
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-27 -MCA ARCHITECTS. INC. - A request to remodel and upgrade
the storefront facade of the Vons Store within Alta Loma Square Shopping Center, in the
Neighborhood Commercial District, located at the northeast corner of 19th Street and Carnelian
Avenue - APN: 201-221-45.
Design Parameters: On February 23, 2000, the Planning Commission approved Development
Review 99-57 for remodel and upgrade of the fapades of Building "A," Building "B,"and the Rite Aid
storefront, within the Alta Loma Square Shopping Center (Exhibit "B"). The Vons Store was not a
part of the Development Review Application. Vons has now submitted a Development Review
Application requesting to remodel and upgrade the storefront fapade to be consistent with the
previously approved design scheme for centers upgrade and remodel (Exhibit "C"). In addition,
Vons is proposing to expand the front entry out 8-feet 6-inches, for total of 500 square feet and
expand the rear of the building out 25-feet, for a total of 3,850 square feet. The storefront fapade
will be extended to create a colonnade for a covered pedestrian walkway. The two store entrances
will incorporate a tower element, with recessed file niches. The fapade will feature recessed file
niches above each column, to compliment the tower element. The columns will consist ofpre-cast
concrete with decorative concrete caps and bases.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion:
• Maior Issues: The following broad issues will be on the focus of Committee discussion regarding this
project:
Staff has no major issues with this project; the applicant has worked closely with staff in resolving
earlier issues.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
The column bases should consist of slate tile, consistent with the column design approved
for the center. In addition, clarify what type of material will be used for the wainscoting
treatment along the storefront. Ceramic the or slate tile?
2. The exterior finish of the trash enclosure and retaining wall, along the rear of the store,
should consist of stucco treatment and color to match the building.
3. Clarify what will be visible through windows in photo room and offices within main tower. A
concern is to hide views of the backside of display racks, cabinets, etc. Photos of other
Vons stores may help explain.
Policv Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
1. All signs proposed for the building shall be designed in conformance with the City's Sign
• Ordinance and the Uniform Sign Program for the shopping center and shall require review
and approval by the City Planner prior to installation

CONSENT CALENDAR COMMENTS
• 9:00 p.m. Michael Smith July 18, 2000
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 00-11 -PACIFIC BELL W IRELESS-The development of a wireless
communication facility consisting of a 60-foot stealth co-location monopalm and two cabinets
housing transceiver equipment on 500 square feet of leased area on a 5.64-acre parcel of land in
the Neighborhood Commercial Zone, located at 8647 Base Line Road - APN: 207-022-14.
Design Parameters: In general, the project monopalm satisfies the design criteria established in the
Wireless Communications Ordinance. Because the proposed facility will be located within 500 feet
of a residential area, staff has requested that the applicant slightly modify their proposal. These
adjustments specify the construction of a pole, foundation pad, and related electrical connections to
allow a potential co-location by another wireless company at a future date.
Staff Recommendation: To further reduce the visibility of the monopalm, staff has also requested
that the applicant remove the non-living Palm fronds on the Palm trees, including the tree to be re-
located, so that they will match the appearance of the wireless pole and antenna.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Larry McNiel, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner: Michael Smith
• The applicant proposes a W fireless Communications Facility at 8647 Base Line Road. The design
resembles a Mexican Palm about 60 feet in height. The Committee requested that the applicant
remove the non-living palm fronds on the existing Palm trees so that their appearance will match
that of the monopalm. The proposed design was otherwise satisfactory to the Committee and
recommended approval.

The existing Target store immediately to the south, along with much of Town Center was built
approximately ten years ago. Primary access to Polar Ice will be from Town Center Drive.
In addition, the Town Center Master Plan, for that area east of the proposed Polar Ice and west of
the Theater, is being revised to accommodate a modification to the parking lot and on-site
circulation. The modification includes relocation of driveways from Town Center Drive onto the site,
and reconfiguring of the existing parking area in this location to address the parking needs of Polar
Ice, the Target expansion and the Theater. The parking lot will be reconstructed and landscaped as
necessary.
All streets surrounding Town Center have been improved with curb, gutter and pavement.
Complete street improvements, including sidewalks, driveways, streetlights, etc. will be completed
along with the various phases of the amended Master Plan.
• Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion:
Polar Ice Architectural design issues:
The South elevation shall be detailed to a level similar to the existing Target, including a
wainscot-like trim/molding and color change. In addition, the projection from the building
that serves as the dock access to the Zamboni, may also present a natural place to add a
roof element for additional distraction of the long building face.
2. The entry design on the north elevation should use a stronger element, such as increasing
height or using a major tower and at the same time the proposed tower on the right side
appears more dominate than the entry. Also extend an overhead trellis on one or both sides
of the entry and include with bench.
Polar Ice Landscape and Site Plan design issues:
Provide consistent landscaping on both sides of the drive between Target and Polar Ice-
Target is proposing to remove and replace the Liquidambar, while Polar Ice is proposing
Austrian Willow.
2. Add trees to the space west of the Zamboni dock.
• 3. Use decorative pavement across the drive aisle on the east side of the building where the
pedestrian promenade crosses.

Master Plan Issues: (Master Plan Issues are identical to those raised with Conditional Use
Permit 99-40 -Target Expansion):
1. The southerly termination of the new entry off of Town Center Drive (easterly of Polar Ice)
lacks a focal point at the southerly terminus of the drive aisle. A proposed solution to the
driveway alignment is attached for your consideration, Exhibit "A."
2. The drive aisle that runs between Sav-On and Polar Ice, should be shifted easterly (toward
Polar Ice) in order to create a better intersection behind Target, see Exhibit "B," attached.
3. The pedestrian promenade through the parking lot (between Polar Ice and the Theater) shall
include the promenade elements used in the front portion of Town Center (i.e. gazebos,
benches, etc.). In addition, the large parking area shall include the concept of "Drifting"
sycamore (London plane) through the parking areas as is done in front, Exhibit "C."
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee discuss the issues noted above,
along with any other issues as identified by the Committee, determine appropriate conditions of
approval and or modifications required prior to Planning Commission consideration.

Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Rich Macias, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner: Debra Meier
The Committee requested that the remaining details to be worked out with staff and the project will
be scheduled for the next available Planning Commission meeting:
Building Design and Site Plan Issues:
The architect presented revised building elevations in response to staff comments, the rear
elevation (south) has been appropriately detailed similar to Target, and the front elevation (north)
was described by the architect to fully detail the variations in building height and plane. As a result,
the Committee approved the front elevation as proposed by the applicant without any further
revisions.
The applicant will work with staff to place benches near the front entry in proximity to the drop-
off/pick-up zone.
The landscaping along the rear of Polar Ice shall be consistent with the use of Liquidambar Trees
unless design circumstances warrant modifications.
The Master Plan of the parking area east of Polar Ice will not be reconstructed/redesigned as
originally proposed. The existing driveways and parking will remain; the Site Plan will be modified
• only to tie the Polar Ice and Target parking and aces into the existing layout. The Committee
concurred with this arrangement, details to be reviewed by staff.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 99-61 - LEWIS
DEVELOPMENT COMPANY/LDC PLATTE, LLC -The proposed development of aSelf-Storage
facility totaling 96,132 square feet of building area and parking for 60 recreational vehicles on
4.86 acres of land (Parcel 1 of Tentative Parcel Map 15349); and a Master Plan for Parcels 2 and 3
located at the northeast corner of Milliken Avenue and Church Street in the Recreational
Commercial (RC) District of the Terra Vista CommunityPlan -APN: 227-151-26 and 227-151-80.
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 15349-LEWIS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY/LDC PLATTE, LLC-The
proposed subdivision of 8.99 acres into three parcels, located at the northeast corner of Milliken
Avenue and Church Street in the Recreational Commercial (RC) District of the Terra Vista
Community Plan -APN: 227-151-26 and 227-151-80.
Design Parameters: The self storage facility will utilize approximately 4.7 acres of the 9 acre site
(Tentative Parcel Map 15349); located in the southwest quadrant of the of the Terra Vista
Community Plan. Land Uses surrounding the site include the Milliken Avenue Park and a vacant
parcel, which had previously been intended for the YMCA to the north; the San Antonio Medical
Center is located south of Church Street; the parcel immediately to the east is vacant and
designated Medium-High Residential in the Terra Vista Community Plan; and on the west side of
Milliken Avenue is an existing apartment development.
The Proposed Terra Vista Self-Storage project is designed to accommodate 60 recreational
• vehicles and awide-range of storage demands from 5 feet by 5 feet up to 10 feet by 10 feet, as well
as on-site mangers leasing office and apartment. The architectural style is Mediterranean in style
similar to other commercial development projects within the Terra Vista Community.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion:
Master Plan
The proposed master plan anticipates an assisted living center for seniors, along with a day care
center, in addition to the self-storage project. Staff has discussed with the applicant the concept of
orienting either one or both the senior living center and the day care center toward the park and
open space elements both for aesthetic as well as access to these facilities to complement these
uses. The applicant has indicated a desire for the self-storage operation to be accessible from
Milliken Avenue as a high priority in the project design. The Committee should consider the
orientation of the three uses in relationship to the immediately adjacent uses to discuss appropriate
use and site orientation.
Self-Storage
No further Site Plan, landscape, or architectural details are identified for specific concern or
discussion; the applicant has responded to all concerns previously identified by staff in terms of
architecture, landscaping and Site Plan details.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee review the items identified for
discussion, along with any other issues identified by the Committee; and,upon resolution of these
• issues, that the proposed project be forwarded for Planning Commission review and action.

The Committee requested that the remaining technical details be worked out with staff and the
project will be scheduled for the next available Planning Commission meeting:
The committee agreed that the specific site and architectural details of the self-storage facility were
very well done, and needed no further modification.
Upon discussing the master plan layout with the applicant, the Committee concurred with the
applicants master plan. Locating the residential uses on Church Street provides better access to
these users, rather than from Milliken Avenue. Access to the park and open space areas can be
conveniently accessed via trails.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-32 - 7TH & UTICA
PARTNERS LLC. -The development of a warehouse/office building consisting of 28,101 square
feet on 1.6 acres of land in General Industrial District (Subarea 11) of the Industrial Area Specific
Plan, located at the southeast corner of 7th Street and Utica Avenue - APN: 209-411-05.
Desiqn Parameters: The site is located on the southeast corner of 7th Street and Utica Avenue.
The site is generally flat with less than 1 percent slope north to south. The individual lot is currently
vacant with only native grasses present. No structures or trees exist on the site. Street
improvements for both 7th Street and Utica Avenue are in place. Single tenant industrial buildings
surround the property on the north, east and west. The parcel immediately south of the site is also
vacant with only native grasses. Access to the site will be through an existing drive approach on
Utica Avenue.
The project will consist of a 28,001 square foot concrete tilt-up building with an office area (7
percent of total building) and warehouse. The building will be built on the vacant 1.6 acres of land.
The building has been designed to house one tenant. The building will be self sufficient with
independent access, parking and utility services. A loading dock will be provided, as well as,
several at grade loading doors, accessed from the south side of the site. Finish materials for the
building exterior include sandblast columns and building base color treatments to create horizontal
and vertical visual interest. The proposed windows will be treated with black tint glass. The overall
building height is identified at 30 feet, which would be compatible with adjacent industrial buildings.
• Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project:
Provide two primary exterior building materials consistent with Industrial Specific Plan
standards, such as sandblasted concrete, textured block, brick, granite, and marble.
Redesign project to allow manufacturing uses by providing additional parking. Parking is
proposed at the warehouse standard of 1 space per 1,000 square feet. Staff believes that
this size and type of building will also attract manufacturers, which require twice as much
parking. Recommend that at least 50% of warehouse floor area be calculated as
manufacturing at a rate of 1 space per 500 square feet; therefore, a total of 50 parking
spaces would be needed.
3. Include a minimum 5-foot landscaped planter, with trees planted 30' on center, along the
south property line and south elevation to meet city standards.
4. Add spandrel glass treatment to the northeast corner of the North elevation (wrap around) to
provide visual interest to said corner of the building.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
• 1. Provide secondary building color "Gray Nuance" to East elevation, to remain consistent with
other elevations.
2. Continue reveal treatment along East and Elevation.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 0414- PACIFIC BELL WIRELESS-The installation of a 60-foot high
"monopalm" wireless telecommunications facility in the Terra Vista Village Shopping Center in the
Neighborhood Commercial District of the Terra Vista Community Plan, located at 7629 Haven
Avenue - APN: 1076-481-31.
Design Parameters: The project site is zoned Commercial. Surrounding landuses are commercial
and residential. Pacific Bell Wireless is proposing a three sector antenna, each with up to three
antennas mounted on a 60-foot high monopalm (a monopole disguised to emulate the appearance
of a Palm tree). The monopalm will be placed in a landscaped planter on the north side of the
existing Cocos Restaurant. The landscaped planter is fully developed with sod, and no other
vegetation.
The installation will consist of the following:
A three-sided antenna structure will be located at the top of the monopalm. The antenna
structure will be concealed within artificial Palm fronds and painted to match the fronds.
2. There will be an enclosure located next to the base of the monopalm. The enclosure will be
designed to match the existing trash enclosures within the center in design, material and
color. The overall dimensions of the enclosure are 7 feet tall, by 11-feet wide, by 15 feet
long.
3. In an effort to further screen the proposed monopalm, three live and approximately 35 feet
high Mexican Fan Palm trees plus additional landscaping will be provided (Exhibit "A").
According to the applicant, palm trees will grow approximately 5 feet per year. According to
the "Sunset Western Garden Book," Mexican Fan Palms can grow up to a maximum 100
feet tall.
Regulations: The application is governed by the Wireless Communications Facilities Ordinance
(Development Code Chapter 17.26). The proposed facility, although a stealth facilityl, is
considered a Major Wireless Communication Facility because it exceeds the height limit for the
zone; hence, requires a Conditional Use Permit. The height limit is 40 feet within the Neighborhood
Commercial zone of the Terra Vista Community Plan. Facilities exceeding the height limit are only
allowed when designed for co-location (i.e., shared with anotherwireless communication provider)
subject to a Conditional Use Permit process.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Major Issues: Major wireless communications facilities are not allowed within 500 feet of any
residence. There are more than 50 residences within 500 feet of the proposed monopalm (see
Exhibit "C"). The nearest residence is approximately 200 feet to the west, across Haven Avenue;
therefore, the application does not meet City standards:
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be redesigned with a maximum 40foot
height or a second wireless communication providerjoin in this application before proceeding to the
Planning Commission hearing.
• Attachments
1 Stealth Facility means any communication facility which is designed to blend into the surrounding environment,
typically one that is architecturally integrated into a building or other concealing structure, and shall include and
mean any concealed antenna (Development Code Section 17.26.020)

Members Present: Rich Macias, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner: Kirt Coury
The Design Review Committee recommended that the project be redesigned and brought back for
Design Review review. The applicant did not present any design responses to the above staff
comments. The Committee indicated that exceeding the 40-foot height limit of the base district was
inappropriate along a Special Boulevard and inappropriate near a major intersection. The
Committee further noted that there are no other Palm trees in this shopping center; hence, a
"Monopalm" was also inconsistent with the landscape theme. The Committee statedthat it may not
be possible to co-locate, as required by Code, because of design issues associated with two sets of
antennas on a single pole; however, indicated that the applicant may bring back alternative designs
that would be complimentary to the area.

MODIFICATION TO DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 98-13 -THE HEIGHTS AT HAVEN VIEW
ESTATES LLC. - A minor revision to the grading plan of Tract 14771, consisting of 40 singlefamily
homes on 25.35 acres of land in the Very-Low Residential District (less than 2 dwelling units per
acre), located east of Haven Avenue and north or Ringstem Drive- APN: 1074-511-27 to 31 and
1074-621-1 to 35. (Continued from June 20, 2000).
Design Parameters: Tract 14771 was originally approved by the Planning Commission on
November 14, 1990, and received final approval by the City Council on October 15, 1997.
Development Review 98-13 was approved by the Planning Commission on August 12, 1998, and
was appealed to the City Council and approved on November 18, 1998.
Conditions of Approval for Tract 14771 require the installation of a channel along the north boundary
of Tract 14771, prior to the removal of the existing levee. The original channel design proposed off
site grading on the property to the north of the channel. The property owner, Los Angeles
Department of Water and Power, denied permission to grade on their property. The applicant is
proposing a minor revision to the channel design, which shifts the channel to be on-site. The
revised rectangular concrete channel design is approximately 10 feet wide and 4 feet deep, and is
located approximately 12 feet from the property line. The revised design decreases the area to be
graded and eliminates the need to grade on the adjacent property to the north. The revised channel
design lowered the channel elevation and requires the installation of various retaining walls along
the north side of the channel. The uphill (north) channel wall will also be extended to retain upto 2.5
. feet. A 12-foot wide paved access road will be provided on the south side of channel for
maintenance.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this
project.
Various retaining walls are proposed between the north property line and the north side of the
channel. The retaining walls are a maximum height of 3 feet and range from 50 to 310 feet in
length. In conditions where additional retaining height is needed, a second adjacent 3-foot
high retaining wall is proposed, and are separated by a minimum of 3 feet, to create a
terraced effect consistent with the Hillside Development Ordinance. A 6-foot split face block
wall is proposed at the downhill (south) edge of the service road, which will block most of the
views of retaining walls. The retaining walls should be split face block and with appropriate
landscaping to soften their appearance.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee forward the project to the City
Planner for consideration. Under Section 17.02.070(A)(5) of the Development Code, the City
Planner may approve minor revisions or modifications to conceptual grading plans Minor revisions
and modifications include grading alterations, which do not change the basic concept, increase the
slope, or building elevations, or change the course of drainage, which could adversely affect
adjacent or surrounding properties.

CENTER PARTNERS -The design review of detailed site plan and elevations fora 5,400 square
foot auto service building, 6 office buildings totaling 37,940 square feet and a 11,500 square foot
day care building within the approved master plan, Masi Plaza, in Subarea 7 of the Industrial Park
District, located at the north and south side of Sebastian Way, west of Rochester Avenue- APN:
229-011-49 through 57.
Background and Design Parameters: Buildings 15 and 16 located at the north side of Sebastian
Way were previously approved as two long buildings. The applicant proposes to split each building
into two smaller buildings and plan for office use. Buildings 17 through 20 located at the south side
of Sebastian Way were previously approved as single user industrial buildings. The applicant
proposes to design Building 20 for auto service use, where the related Conditional Use Permit 0020
will be reviewed by the City Planner on June 27 hearing. Buildings 18A and 18B are similar to
Buildings 15 and 16 and are planned for office use. Building 17 is designed as a day care facility,
where the related Conditional Use Permit 00-19 will be reviewed by the City Planner on June 27
hearing. Attached are copies of the June 27 City Planner staff report for the two Conditional Use
Permits for the Committee's reference.
Staff Comments: The proposed project is in substantial consistency with the master plan. There
are no major issues. The following identified secondary issues can be placed as conditions of
approval for the project:
1. Building 20 is oriented toward Phase 2 of Auto Service Court that is currently under
construction. The orientation of the building provides a logical separation from the auto
service uses to office and other uses. The building design is compatible to theexisting auto
service buildings, but could be improved with the following architectural enhancement
subject to City Planner review and approval.
a. Provide additional architectural treatment to the east elevation because it backs up to
office buildings and is subject to street view. This can be achieved by increasing the
size (depth and width) of the columns, adding slate file wainscot, adding a row of
either spandrel glass window or vision glass window with reflecting coating at the
northeast and southeastsides of the east elevation, consistent with other auto service
buildings.
b. Add wainscot to the north and south elevation; consistent with other auto service
buildings.
2. Add wainscot to the columns at the north elevation of Buildings 15A and 15B, 16A and 16B,
and south elevation of Building 18A and 18 B.
3. Use same window mullion pattern consistent with the center for Buildings 15, 16, and 18.
4. Building 17(Knowledge Beginnings) design is compatible with and an enhancement for Masi
Plaza architectural program. This could be further improved with following:
a. Provide a recessed area to frame the signage.
• b. Raise the parapet height to ensure that all roof equipment will be totally screened.
Provide a minimum 6-foot high decorative block wall for the play area fom the west property
boundary to the south property boundary and warp around to the east property boundary.
Provide decorative columns to the wrought iron fencing along the street setback.

complex. Knowledge Beginnings is to be located at the southwest corner of Rochester
Avenue and Sebastian Way. North of the site is the commercial component of the center and
consisted of a mixed use of offices, restaurants, carpet and paint retail stores, and a future
fitness center. East of the site is undeveloped land, contains a historic structure, and is zoned
for Industrial Park. West of the site is undeveloped land, but planned for multi-tenant office
use. South of the site is the Rancho Cucamonga Epicenter. Staff believes that the proposed
use would be compatible with the existing and planned uses in Masi Plaza. Although the
Epicenter baseball stadium is immediately south of the childcare facility, there is the potential
of baseballs dropping into the outdoor play area. However, the applicant asserts that the
outdoor play area is a minimum of 110 feet from the audio tower and 180 feet from the
scoreboard of the sport stadium, and as shown in Exhibit "D." He believes that it is a sufficient
buffer for the daycare facility. More importantly, baseball games are held in the evenings
• and/or weekends when the daycare facility is closed.

Staff Report
DATE: June 27. 2000
TO: Dan Coleman, Acting City Planner
FROM: Nancy Fong, AICP, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 00-20 - MASI COMMERCE CENTER PARTNERS
-A request to expand the auto service court from 5.37 acres to 6 acres at the Masi
Plaza in Subarea 7 of the Industrial Park District, located at the south side of
Sebastian Way, east of Masi Drive - APN: 229-011-65.
• ANALYSIS:
A. Background and Proposed Expansion: Masi Plaza is a 27-acre commercial and industrial
master planned complex. A component of the master plan is an auto service court located
at the south side of Foothill Boulevard and west of Masi Drive. Exhibit "A" shows the
phased development of the auto service court. Phase one is completed and phase two is
well under construction. The total acreage for the two phases is 5.37 acres. The applicant
proposes to expand it to a maximum of 6 acres as shown in Exhibit "B"which is allowed by
the Development Code. The related Development Review application for the site and
building design is scheduled forthe July 6, 2000, Design Review Committee meeting. Staff
is recommending approval of the design.
B. Land Use Compatibility: The project site for the proposed expansion is at the southeast
side of Sebastian Way and Masi Drive. A fitness center is slated for north of the site, which
is under construction. East of the site will be future office and multi-tenant buildings and a
child care facility. The orientation of the building is toward the auto service court, which
provides a logical separation from the office/multi-tenants buildings to the east. Staff
believes that the proposed use would be compatible with the existing and planned uses in
Masi Plaza
C. Parkin The total number of required parking spaces based on a 5,400 square foot
building with 8 bays at a ratio of 2 spaces per bay and 1 space per 250 square feet of office
area. The required number of spaces is 19, the site plan shows 17 spaces. Because the
• project design is still in the development review process, it will be modified to comply with
the parking requirement.
