Related file: Tree Removal Permit 99-37. Design Parameters: The Committee (McNiel and Fong) reviewed this project at their November6, 1999 meeting. A copy of the Design Review Committee Action is attached for reference. The Committee was particularly concerned with a variety of Site Plan issues related to circulation and truck delivery patterns on the site, and the proximity of the loading area to the existing condominiums. The Committee also expressed concerns pertaining to the proposed foundation planters along the building face, the design of the pedestrian level space and building design. The applicant has been working diligently with staff to address the design issues. At this time, the applicant has attempted to address the identified site issues. The applicant has indicated that they will continue to work with staff on resolving the other identified issues pertaining to landscaping and building design. Therefore, the focus of the Committee's review tonight is the Site Plan issues related to the circulation and truck delivery. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide a focus for Committee discussion regarding this project: Site Plan • 1. The circulation at the rear of the building provides access to the drive-thru pharmacy. The drive-thru patrons will proceed through the order window and then U-turn to exit the site. The truck unloading zone is now completely separate from the drive-thru circulation. The delivery trucks will back into the delivery zone, as indicated on the Site Plan. In conjunction with the modifications to the delivery zone, the applicant has modified the perimeter wall to allow for the preservation of several trees that are at or near the property line. Staff believes that this is an acceptable solution. The trash enclosure has been relocated to the north end of the delivery zone, including a trash compactor, which is completely screened and gated. This is an acceptable solution. Eliminate a parking space in front of the tower at the southeast corner of the building to expand the plaza area. Landscaping The proposal to provide vines on building mounted trellis, as an alternative to landscaping along the building face, has not been modified from plans previously reviewed by the Committee. Provide tree planters at northeast corner of building and along north side of drive-thru. 3. West property boundary should have the following design improvement: change the tree species from Quercus Virginana (Live Oak) to Pinus Elderica and planted at 10 feet on . center; provide double row of shrubs for a distance of 60 feet from the delivery entry; single row of shrubs from the end of the double row to the gate, double row of shrubs from the gate to the north property boundary, and all shrubs to be planted at 3 feet on center. This can be conditioned. DRC COMMENTS ' CUP 99-49 -EVERGREEN/DEVCO January 18, 2000 Page 2 • 4. Modify streetscape along Haven Avenue to be consistent with the established theme for the street. Tree species should include a mix of Sycamore, Pines and Magnolia. Add a flowing stream of river-rock and boulders along Haven Avenue and wrap around the same treatment along Alta Loma Drive. Appropriate shrubs should be provided within the bed of river rock. This can be conditioned. 5. Project entries should have specimen size and accent trees. 6. Building entry and plaza area should have tree wells. A suggested tree species is Palm tree. 7. Provide a continuous landscape strip along the east elevation. 8. Mounding should be provided along Haven Avenue instead of screen wall. This can be conditioned. 9. Provide a row of shrubs in front of the screen wall along Alta Loma Drive. This can be conditioned. Architecture/Building Desion 1. The delivery zone is indicated on the Site Plan as "covered loading area," however, the elevations do not show any cover element. Further, the Development Code would require a 20-foot building setback. Even a trellis would require a 17-foot minimum setback (not 10 • feet as shown on Site Plan). 2. The Committee had raised design issues as listed in the attached November 16, 1999 Design Review Committee Action. The applicant is willing to continue to work with staff in resolving them and they may have revised elevation for Committee's review at January 18 meeting. Staff Recommendation: Review these and any other issues identified by the Committee; suggest modifications as necessary. Any unresolved issues pertaining to landscaping and architecture should be scheduled to return for Committee review at a subsequent meeting. Attachment Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Debra Meier The Committee reviewed the issues identified by staff in areas of Site Plan, landscaping, and building architecture, and made the following recommendations: Site Plan The applicant presented revised Site Plans for the Committees discussion and consideration (dated . January 10, 2000). The revisions made to the circulation through the drive-thru pharmacy were found to be acceptable, including the relocation of the trash enclosure/compactor and the gated loading area. The Committee continues to express concerns about the potential to generate excessive noise in the loading and trash compactor area. However, the Committee recommended approval of the Site Plan subject to the following conditions: DRC COMMENTS ' CUP 99-49 -EVERGREEN/DEVCO January 18, 2000 Page 3 1. The applicant shall pursue with the noise consultant whether the use of noise absorption material can or should be added to the building wall to eliminate the "vibration" of sound between the wall and the building. 2. The planters that direct traffic into the drive-thru pharmacy shall be expanded, and more pronounced, in order to direct traffic into the drive-thru lane, as well as provide additional landscaping in this location at the rear of the building. Landscaping The Committee recommended approval of the landscape concept subject to the following conditions: 1. The wall along the west boundary shall be designed using split face block, which is consistent with the block used on the building wainscot. The pilasters shall be designed using fluted block of the same integral color. 2. The landscaping along the west property line shall be designed to not only to preserve the existing trees, but also to supplement the landscaping for buffering and screening purposes. The density of landscaping shall be as follows Pinus Elderica at 10-feet on center; a double row of shrubs for a distance of 60 feet south of the delivery gate; a single row of shrubs from the delivery gate north to the maintenance access gate; a double row of shrubs from the maintenance gate to the north property boundary; all shrubs shall be planted 3-feet on center or as recommended based on the chosen species. • 3. Vines shall be placed on the west side (facing the condominium project) of the west boundary wall. 4. The Haven Avenue streetscape is a Special Boulevard which must include the following design elements: undulating mounding along with the use of river rock and/or boulders; and informal massing of shrubbery which can be used to screen the parking lot. The street tree shall be Magnolia Grandiflora "Majestic Beauty" (used within the street right-of-way). The background tree (used behind the right-of-way) shall be informal grouping of Brachychiton Populneus (Bottle Tree). 5. The trees used along Alta Loma Drive shall be Lagerstroemia Indica "Catawba" (Crape Myrtle) at approximately 20-feet on center. 6. Accent trees shall be used at project entries, and entry and building plaza areas. The recommended accent tree is a palm species. Architecture/Buildino Desion Following preparation of the comments for Committee discussion, staff determined that the loading area can not be covered, due to building setback restrictions from the property line. The applicant has addressed the building design along the east elevation through incorporating the arcade along the entire elevation, wrapping the north side of the building. In doing so, the foundation planters have been removed, and tree wells have been added in front of the colonnade columns. The Committee approved this revision, however, recommended that the applicant work with staff to • resolve any remaining design details prior to being forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and approval: 1. Incorporate additional trim on the arches along the colonnades. 2. Incorporate additional the accent elements and vary the color patterns for additional variety. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS U 8:00 p.m. Debra Meier January 18, 2000 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-70 - MASTER DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION -The request for approval of a rail served distribution building comprised of 847,828 square feet located at 12167Arrow Route, on a 39.2 acre parcel in Subarea 15 of the Industrial Development Districts (Heavy Industrial). - APN: 229-121-15. Design Parameters: The site is that of the former AMPAC concrete pipe manufacturing facility. All existing structures and pavement will be removed for the proposed development of the Origen Rail Center, with the exception of the perimeter fences and walls, and driveways on Arrow Route. Immediately adjacent to the site on Arrow Route is an exiting alcohol distillery; the west boundary parallels an Edison corridor with exiting transmission towers. The proposed project is intended to be rail served from the Santa Fe Rail line along the southerly boundary. The street frontage was fully improved by AMPAC. The facility includes approximately 10,000 square feet of office space and 837,828 square feet of warehouse space. The building incorporates 88 dock high doors and 2 grade level doors along the west elevation, and 16 rail service dock doors on the east elevation. The structure incorporates a creative use of concrete panels and "sky turrets" to accent the building and provide a visual distraction along the freeway corridor. Primary building materials include concrete panels in a variety of machine grid patterns and finishes, and sand blasted concrete (south and east elevations only). The concrete panels are proposed to include a combination of painted, plastered, and DRIVIT finishes to provide the distinctive variety at the building entries. Secondary materials include "solarcool" bronze reflective glass, the sky turret is comprised on KAL-WALL with • a metal frame. The truck dock area on the west elevation is screened from I-15 freeway by a dense planting of Canary Island Pine, London Plane, and White Alder, in combination with the existing Leyland Cypress trees. This planted screen will continue along the south site boundary and around to a portion of the eastern boundary to provide screening from view from the Metrolink commuter rail line. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion: Architecture The applicant has proposed the use of concrete panels with varying finishes at the building entry elevations, and has incorporated sandblasted concrete accent bands on the south and east elevations. The applicant has taken a very creative approach to the building design elements, including the entry focal elements and the use of the sky turrets; however, these elements are essentially all concrete panels. The Committee should consider whether the proposal of varying finishes of the concrete surface, the use of DRIVIT on the concrete panels, and sandblasted concrete on the south and east elevations, fully satisfies the industrial building material policy requiring two primary exterior building materials. 2. The applicant is keeping the existing 8-foot walls along the street frontage. The walls should be coated or painted to match the finish and color of the proposed building. . Site Planning The site should be designed to direct truck access through the middle driveway from Arrow Route, and customer and employee parking should be directed through the easterly and westerly driveways.

January 18, 2000 • Page 2 The west parking area should be redesigned to circulate internally with only one opening to the truck access path, and eliminate the ability to use the westerly driveway to directly access the truck access path from Arrow Route 2. The opening to the east parking area from the truck access path (south of Arrow Route) should be eliminated. 3. Incorporate enhanced pavement across the drive aisle leading from the parking areas to the entry plaza. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee review and address the issues identified above, and recommend that the project be forwarded for Planning Commission review and approval. Attachment Design Review Committee Action: Member Present: Dan Coleman, Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart Staff Planner: Debra Meier • The Committee complemented the applicants on the creative approach to architectural solutions to such a large facility. They approved the architectural concept, including the material sample board as presented by the applicant. Materials include concrete panels (scored and painted), sandblast finish on upper panel along the south and east elevations, metal-work storefront overhang, "Kalwall" construction "sky turrets," and bronze glazing. The Committee recommended that the project be forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and approval, subject to the following conditions: The landscaping along Arrow Route street frontage shall be supplemented with clusters of shrubbery, and vines on the existing slump stone wall. 2. The concrete pipe sections, which surround the trees in the landscape setback area, shall be removed. 3. Due to comments from Engineering Department staff, the most easterly driveway is to be used for emergency access only. Therefore, vehicular entry into the easterly parking lot will be via the central driveway. The Committee asked the applicant to analyze the parking area located on the westerly boundary to take into consideration separation of vehicular and truck traffic to the extent feasible, provide fence between parking lot and ceritral driveway to control pedestrian access, and the logical route that employees will be taking in crossing the parking area to the building entry. The Committee stated that this issue should be resolved with staff prior to Planning Commission consideration DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS lJ 8:40 p.m. Doug Fenn January 18, 2000 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-69 -ROBERT GIBBS DEVELOPMENT of land in General Industrial District (Subarea 3) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan located at the CO. -The development of a 19,326 square foot industrial building on 1.32 acres north east corner of 9th Street and Hellman Avenue - APN: 209-022-20. Design Parameters: The site is a 1.32 acre vacant parcel. There are several existing Eucalyptus trees at the northwest corner of the site, which will not be removed. The site slopes from north to south at an approximately 1 percent. The site is surrounded by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to the north and to the east are industrial buildings. Across 9th Street to the south are industrial buildings and across the Hellman Avenue to the west is an industrial building. The proposed building will be used for dual tenants' general industrial type activities (one of the tenants is MAACO, an automobile painting company). The overall building design is oriented to face the northeast corner intersection of 9th street and Hellman Avenue. The office portion(s) of the building will front the public right-of-ways of 9th Street and Hellman Avenue. The storage and loading areas are behind the building and are not clearly visible of the street right-of-ways. The building design features a stucco cornice with a raised 4-foot high parapet over the office entryways and another raised 4-foot high parapet on the eastside of the building to blend in with the design of the facility. The facility has 360 degree architecture with strong articulation, color variation, of a "harbor grey" and "winter sky" color scheme on a sandblasted concrete and concrete tilt-up facade with greylite reflective colored glazing accents. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee • discussion. Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: Delete gate at southeastern corner of property because vehicles waiting to enter will block north-south access to DMV. Secondary Issues: Once of all the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: Provide screen wall, minimum 6 feet high, between outdoor employee eating area and delivery area. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: Provide tables and chairs for outdoor employee eating area. 2. The screen gates should be automated to ensure that the gate is open the minimum time necessary to allow trucks in and out of the loading area. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee approve the project subject to the modification as recommend above. ' DRC COMMENTS DR 99-69 -ROBERT GIBBS DEV. CO. January 18, 2000 • Page 2 Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Doug Fenn The Committee recommended that additional architectural detailing be incorporated along the south face of the building. The Committee also recommended that the access on the east side of the property be redesigned to accommodate an acceptable queuing of vehicles. The Committee instructed the applicant to work these items with staff, and once the items had been addressed, then to proceed with the development process. • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 9:20 p.m. Rudy Zeledon January 18, 2000 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-57 - LEWIS RETAIL- A request to remodel and upgrade the facade to the existing buildings within the shopping center, Alta Loma Square, in the Neighborhood Commercial District, located at the northeast corner of 19th Street and Carnelian Avenue - APN: 201-221-45. Design Parameters: The center was constructed before the City's incorporation in 1977. The project proposes to remodel and upgrade the facades of Building "A." Building "B," and Rite Aid. The existing Vons store is not part of this Development Review application. The applicant has indicted that Vons will submit a separate Development Review application for the remodel and expansion of the store, at later time. Currently, the Washington Mutual building is under construction undergoing a facade upgrade. The upgrade will be architecturally compatible with the proposed design upgrade of the center. In addition, the proposed design concept for the remodel and upgrade of center will compatible with the Blockbuster building, which was constructed in 1998. Recently, the center's parking lot was resurfaced and re-striped to a 90-degree angle design. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide ant outline for Committee discussion: Major Issues: The following broad issues will be on the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: • The applicant proposes to remodel and upgrade the facades of Building "A," Building "B," and Rite Aid. The applicant has indicated that Vons will not receive an upgrade at this time. According to the applicant, Vons will submit a separate application for the their facade upgrade and expansion at a later time. However, staff believes that a conceptual design of a facade upgrade for Vons should be included with this application so that staff could assure proper transition and interface with the proposed center facelift. In addition, staff is requesting that the applicant provide a time frame for the facade upgrade and expansion of Vons. In the event that Vons does not submit an application, staff would like to have the assurance that the upgrade then would be done by the applicant within a reasonable time frame. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: The proposed towers, which will be the dominant architectural feature throughout the center, should have additional architectural enhancement. The architectural enhancement may included, but not limited to the following detail: a. Provide a different color shade to the tower's facade. b. Continue cornice treatment along top of the tower parapet. c. Increase the thickness of the cornice detail between the tower parapet and archway entrance (south elevation building "A"). • d. The tite patters on the tower shall be recessed and the the detail shall vary in color and pattern work. ' DRC COMMENTS • DR 99-57 - LEWIS RETAIL January 18, 2000 Page 2 2. Provide either concrete or stucco surrounds (high-density foam) to all the elements along the storefront facades. 3. Provide tree wells (4-foot by 4-foot inside dimension) along the outer edge of the walkway on the south elevation for Building "A." Either Crape myrtle or Palm trees shall be planted within the tree wells. 4. Provide additional tree planters between parking stalls, consistent with the exiting planters within the parking area. 5. Currently the light standards, within the parking area, are not in compliance with the Development Code Standards. Staff recommends the lighting be brought up to Code Standards and redesigned to be compatible with the proposed design concept of the center. 6. The elevations show the proposed sign height to be of 24 inches. Staff believes that the sign height is not in proportion to the height of the building fascia. The proposed sign height should be reduced to 18 inches. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends that the project be revised per the above comments and be brought back for further review. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Rudy Zeledon The Committee reviewed the project and recommended approval subject to staffs above comments with the following changes: A conceptual design for the facade upgrade of Vons storefront is not needed with this application. The applicant explained that they have been in discussions with Vons for several years regarding a fapade upgrade; however, Vons has not made a decision. Under the terms of their lease, Lewis cannot alter the Vons facade without their approval. However, the Committee directed the applicant to continue to work with Vons in their efforts to go upgrade the facade to their storefront. 2. Provide tree wells (4-foot by 4-foot inside dimension) along the outer edge of the walkway on the south elevation for Building "A," where possible, subject to City Planner approval. 3. Existing light standards, within the parking area, do not have to be brought up to Code Standards at this time. The Committee recommended that the applicant make a good faith effort to address the lighting issue at a later time. \I DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS January 18, 2000 PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no public comments at this time.

The circulation at the rear of the building provides access to the drive-thru pharmacy. The drive-thru patrons will proceed through the order window and then U-turn to exit the site. 2. The truck unloading zone is now completely separate from the drive-thru circulation. The delivery trucks will back into the delivery zone, as indicated on the Site Plan. In conjunction with the modifications to the delivery zone, the applicant has modified the perimeter wall to allow for the preservation of several trees that are at or near the property line. Staff believes that this is an acceptable solution. 3. The trash enclosure has been relocated to the north end of the delivery zone, including a trash compactor, which is completely screened and gated. This is an acceptable solution. 4. Eliminate a parking space in front of the tower at the southeast corner of the building to expand the plaza area. Landscaping 1. The proposal to provide vines on building mounted trellis, as an alternative to landscaping along the building face, has not been modified from plans previously reviewed by the Committee. 2. Provide tree planters at northeast corner of building and along north side of drive-thru. 3. West property boundary should have the following design improvement: change the tree species from Quercus Virginana (Live Oak) to Pinus Elderica and planted at 10 feet on center; • provide double row of shrubs for a distance of 60 feet from the delivery entry; single row of shrubs from the end of the double row to the gate, double row of shrubs from the gate to the north property boundary, and all shrubs to be planted at 3 feet on center. This can be conditioned. DRC COMMENTS CUP 99-49 -EVERGREEN/DEVCO January 18, 2000 •- Page 2 4. Modify streetscape along Haven Avenue to be consistent with the established theme for the street. Tree species should include a mix of Sycamore, Pines and Magnolia. Add a flowing stream of river-rock and boulders along Haven Avenue and wrap around the same treatment along Alta Loma Drive. Appropriate shrubs should be provided within the bed of river rack. This can be conditioned. 5. Project entries should have specimen size and accent trees. 6. Building entry and plaza area should have tree wells. A suggested tree species is Palm tree. 7. Provide a continuous landscape strip along the east elevation. 8. Mounding should be provided along Haven Avenue instead of screen wall. This can be conditioned. 9. Provide a row of shrubs in front of the screen wall along Alta Loma Drive. This can be conditioned. Architecture/Building Design 1. The delivery zone is indicated on the Site Plan as "covered loading area," however, the elevations do not show any cover element. Further, the Development Code would require a 20- foot building setback. Even a trellis would require a 17-foot minimum setback (not 10 feet as • shown on Site Plan). 2. The Committee had raised design issues as listed in the attached November 16, 1999 Design Review Committee Action. The applicant is willing to continue to work with staff in resolving them and they may have revised elevation for Committee's review at January 18 meeting. Staff Recommendation: Review these and any other issues identified by the Committee; suggest modifications as necessary. Any unresolved issues pertaining to landscaping and architecture should be scheduled to return for Committee review at a subsequent meeting. Attachment Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Staff Planner: Debra Meier • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 8:50 p.m. Debra Meier November 16, 1999 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 99-49 -EVERGREEN/DEVCO -The request for approval of a drug store with adrive-thru window for prescription orders consisting of a 13,905 square foot building on a 1.52-acre parcel located at the northwest corner of Haven Avenue and Alta Loma Drive in the Office Professional (OP) District. - APN: 201-262-37. Related file: Tree Removal Permit 99-37. Design Parameters: The project site is located immediately south of Chaffey Plaza, a small retail center located at the southwest corner of Haven Avenue and Lemon Street; and immediately east of the Garden Condominiums. The proposed alignment of Alta Loma Drive, along the southerly project boundary, will be constructed by Caltrans in association with the construction of Route 30. Due to the realignment and construction of Alta Loma Drive, the Walgreen's site will provide a new secondary access point into the condominiums along the westerly project boundary. A new primary access to the condominiums will be developed further west along Alta Loma Drive in cooperation with the property owner located south of the condominiums. The project site is presently vacant: however, the parcel contains several existing trees along the west property boundary and along the proposed alignment of Alta Loma Drive. The project boundary wall should be modified in three cases to create tree wells which will allow five existing trees to remain, one additional tree will remain within the planter near the southwest portion of the site; and four existing trees are proposed for removal. A Tree Removal Permit accompanies this application. Essentially this same building was approved for a Walgreen's drug store located at the corner of Highland Avenue and 19th Street earlier this year (Conditional Use Permit 99-10). The applicant has incorporated many of the same design elements that were added to that project through the Design Review Committee review process. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide a focus for Committee discussion regarding this project: Site Plan In general, the site appears overbuilt which forces the loading area very close to neighboring residences. The drive aisle width on the west side of the building does not allow for adequate space for customers coming out of the drive-thru to pass by if a delivery truck is in the loading area. The applicant has proposed additional pass-by space by introducing turf-block grass pavers in the landscaped setback area along the westerly property line to allow vehicles to pass around the delivery truck, without completely eliminating the ability to have a green planter area. Turf-block has been used only for fire access, staff is concerned that drivers may become confused or not be comfortable with attempting to drive upon grass. Staff has indicated to the applicant that the loading area and delivery trucks would present a problem for patrons exiting the drive-thru window. The applicant introduced the turf-block to address this concern. Does the Committee favor the use of the turf-block as a means of providing extra drive aisle width at the times when the delivery truck is present? • DRC COMMENTS CUP 99-49 -EVERGREEN/DEVCO November 16, 1999 Page 2 Furthermore, the loading area is 10 feet away from the Gardens condominium complex and could result in resident noise complaints, similar to that at Albertsons (southeast corner Base Line Road Archibald Avenue). See Cross-Section A on Sheet A4.1. Landscaoino Haven Avenue is a Special Boulevard which requires design elements such as mounding, boulders or other similar features. The applicant has included mounding, a split face block wall, and the use of 24-inch box Virginia Live Oak. Staff has suggested to the applicant that additional trees are necessary that would be background trees and could also provide shade to the parking along the east portion of the site. 2. Rather than providing trees along the east and south building elevations, the applicant has chosen to provide foundation planters with shrubs, as well as a metal trellis applied to the building wall that will accommodate vine growth. The Committee should discuss whether they will accept this treatment in lieu of the requirement for trees along the building frontage. 3. The applicant has not indicated the type of trailing plant material will be used to grow on the building-mounted metal trellis at the south and east elevations. Architecture/Buildino Design (Please note: The building elevations illustrate a tree on each elevation, based on information provided on the Landscape Plan there are no trees provided along the building frontages. See comment #2 above.) 1. Review the proposed material sample board in conjunction with photographs of the Chaffey Plaza development for compatibility. Photographs will be available at the meeting. 2. Consider the development of an entry plaza space that is in proportion to the "signage"tower element and canopy at the store entrance (see south and east elevations). The canopy wall of this tower sets right at the curb line on the south elevation. For a rather large architecture element, very little ground surface has been provided at the pedestrian level. Staff Recommendation: Review these and any other issues identified by the Committee; suggest modifications as necessary. Any unresolved issues should be scheduled to return for Committee approval at a subsequent meeting. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Debra Meier The Committee cannot recommend this project for favorable Planning Commission action without • redesign of the items noted below. Project shall be returned for additional Committee review on December 14, 1999. Revised plans must be submitted to staff by November 30, 1999. DRC COMMENTS CUP 99-49 -EVERGREEN/DEVCO November 16, 1999 Page 3 Site Plan The building footprint was too large for the parcel selected where the access for delivery trucks and customers and landscaping along the building is being compromised. 2. The use of turf-block along the west property line is typically a feature reserved for emergency access purposes or overFlow parking situations for large venues (i.e. Quake Stadium), and should not be considered as meeting the landscape and setback requirements. 3. Delivery areas adjacent to residential neighborhoods can cause undue stress on the residents from noise, diesel fumes, and disruption of privacy. The Committee stated that they need to be sure that the project does not have built-in features that will be future cause for concern to the Garden Condominiums, especially if the store were ever transferred to a different retail user. The Committee believed that the user always understates delivery expectations. Suggested solutions as discussed by the Committee included but not limited to: enclosing or covering the delivery area, not routing customers down the rear alley of the building, routing the drive-thru traffic to U-turn at the rear of the building, etc. The applicant should look at options or solutions that resolve layout conflicts. Landscaoing • 1. The trellis with vines was not an appropriate alternative to landscaping at the building face. This ties into the overall site design constraints as discussed above. Architecture/Building Design The building material and color palette was acceptable to the Committee, and is compatible with the Chaffey Plaza Development immediately north of the site. The pedestrian level space at the building entry is extremely small for the size of the architectural entry tower proposed. The pedestrian level plaza space should be more proportionate to architecture, including accessible colonnades and hard scape. • • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 8:00 p.m. Debra Meier January 18, 2000 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-70 -MASTER DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION: The request for approval of a rail served distribution building comprised of 847,828 square feet located at 12167 Arrow Route, on a 39.2 acre parcel in Subarea 15 of the Industrial Development Districts (Heavy Industrial). -APN: 229-121-15. Design Parameters: The site is that of the former AMPAC concrete pipe manufacturing facility. All existing structures and pavement will be removed for the proposed development of the Origen Rail Center, with the exception of the perimeter fences and walls, and driveways on Arrow Route. Immediately adjacent to the site on Arrow Route is an exiting alcohol distillery; the west boundary parallels an Edison corridor with exiting transmission towers. The proposed project is intended to be rail served from the Santa Fe Rail line along the southerly boundary. The street frontage was fully improved by AMPAC. The facility includes approximately 10,000 square feet of office space and 837,828 square feet of warehouse space. The building incorporates 88 dock high doors and 2 grade level doors along the west elevation, and 16 rail service dock doors on the east elevation. The structure incorporates a creative use of concrete panels and "sky turrets" to accent the building and provide a visual distraction along the freeway corridor. Primary building materials include concrete panels in a variety of machine grid patterns and finishes, and sand blasted concrete (south and east elevations only). The concrete panels are proposed to include a combination of painted, plastered, and DRIVIT finishes to provide the distinctive variety at the building entries. Secondary materials include "solarcool" bronze reflective glass, the sky turret is comprised on KAL-WALL with ~, a metal frame. The truck dock area on the west elevation is screened from I-15 freeway by a dense planting of Canary Island Pine, London Plane, and White Alder, in combination with the existing Leyland Cypress trees. This planted screen will continue along the south site boundary and around to a portion of the eastern boundary to provide screening from view from the Metrolink commuter rail line. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion: Architecture The applicant has proposed the use of concrete panels with varying finishes at the building entry elevations, and has incorporated sandblasted concrete accent bands on the south and east elevations. The applicant has taken a very creative approach to the building design elements, including the entry focal elements and the use of the sky turrets; however, these elements are essentially all concrete panels. The Committee should consider whether the proposal of varying finishes of the concrete surface, the use of DRIVIT on the concrete panels, and sandblasted concrete on the south and east elevations, fully satisfies the industrial building material policy requiring two primary exterior building materials. 2. The applicant is keeping the existing 8-foot walls along the street frontage. The walls should be coated or painted to match the finish and color of the proposed building. Site Planning The site should be designed to direct truck access through the middle driveway from Arrow Route, and customer and employee parking should be directed through the easterly and westerly driveways. In order to more fully take advantage of this concept (refer to Exhibit A): DRC COMMENTS DR 99-70 -MASTER DEVELOPMENT CORP. • January 18, 2000 Page 2 The west parking area should be redesigned to circulate internally with only one opening to the truck access path, and eliminate the ability to use the westerly driveway to directly access the truck access path from Arrow Route 2. The opening to the east parking area from the truck access path (south of Arrow Route) should be eliminated. Incorporate enhanced pavement across the drive aisle leading from the parking areas to the entry plaza. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee review and address the issues identified above, and recommend that the project be forwarded for Planning Commission review and approval.

Desiqn Parameters: The site is a 1.32 acre vacant parcel. There are several existing Eucalyptus trees at the northwest corner of the site, which will not be removed. The site slopes from north to south at an approximately 1 percent. The site is surrounded by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to the north and to the east are industrial buildings. Across 9th Street to the south are industrial buildings and across the Hellman Avenue to the west is an industrial building. The proposed building will be used for dual tenants' general industrial type activities (one of the tenants is MAACO, an automobile painting company). The overall building design is oriented to face the northeast corner intersection of 9th street and Hellman Avenue. The office portion(s) of the building will front the public right-of-ways of 9th Street and Hellman Avenue. The storage and loading areas are behind the building and are not clearly visible of the street right-of-ways. The building design features a stucco cornice with a raised 4-foot high parapet over the office entryways and another raised 4-foot high parapet on the eastside of the building to blend in with the design of the facility. The facility has 360 degree architecture with strong articulation, color variation, of a "harbor grey" and "winter sky" color scheme on a sandblasted concrete and concrete tilt-up facade with greylite reflective colored glazing accents. 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: Delete gate at southeastern corner of property because vehicles waiting to enter will block north-south access to DMV. Secondary Issues: Once of all the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: Provide screen wall, minimum 6 feet high, between outdoor employee eating area and delivery area. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. Provide tables and chairs for outdoor employee eating area. 2. The screen gates should be automated to ensure that the gate is open the minimum time necessary to allow trucks in and out of the loading area. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee approve the project subject to the modification as recommend above. • Desiqn Review Committee Action: Members Present: Staff Planner: Doug Fenn DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 9:20 p.m. Rudy Zeledon January 18, 2000 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-57 - LEIWS RETAIL - A request to remodel and upgrade the facade to the existing buildings within the shopping center, Alta Loma Square, in the Neighborhood Commercial District, located at the northeast corner of 19th Street and Carnelian Avenue - APN: 201-221-45. Design Parameters: The center was constructed before the City's incorporation in 1977. The project proposes to remodel and upgrade the facades of Building "A." Building "B," and Rite Aid. The existing Vons store is not part of this Development Review application. The applicant has indicted that Vons will submit a separate Development Review application for the remodel and expansion of the store, at later time. Currently, the Washington Mutual building is under construction undergoing a facade upgrade. The upgrade will be architecturally compatible with the proposed design upgrade of the center. In addition, the proposed design concept for the remodel and upgrade of center will compatible with the Blockbuster building, which was constructed in 1998. Recently, the center's parking lot was resurfaced and re-striped to a 90-degree angle design. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide ant outline for Committee discussion: Maior Issues: The following broad issues will be on the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: • The applicant proposes to remodel and upgrade the facades of Building "A;' Building "B;' and Rite Aid. The applicant has indicated that Vons will not receive an upgrade at this time. According to the applicant, Vons will submit a separate application for the their facade upgrade and expansion at a later time. However, staff believes that a conceptual design of a facade upgrade for Vons should be included with this application so that staff could assure proper transition and interface with the proposed center facelift. In addition, staff is requesting that the applicant provide a time frame for the facade upgrade and expansion of Vons. In the event that Vons does not submit an application, staff would like to have the assurance that the upgrade then would be done by the applicant within a reasonable time frame. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: The proposed towers, which will be the dominant architectural feature throughout the center, should have additional architectural enhancement. The architectural enhancement may included, but not limited to the following detail: a. Provide a different color shade to the tower's facade. b. Continue cornice treatment along top of the tower parapet. c. Increase the thickness of the cornice detail between the tower parapet and archway entrance (south elevation building "A"). . d. The file patters on the tower shall be recessed and the file detail shall vary in color and pattern work. ' DRC COMMENTS DR 99-57 - LEW IS RETAIL January 18, 2000 Page 2 2. Provide either concrete or stucco surrounds (high-density foam) to all file elements along the storefront facades. 3. Provide tree wells (4-foot by 4-foot inside dimension) along the outer edge of the walkway on the south elevation for Building "A." Either Crape myrtle or Palm trees shall be planted within the tree wells. 4. Provide additional tree planters between parking stalls, consistent with the exiting planters within the parking area. 5. Currently the light standards, within the parking area, are not in compliance with the Development Code Standards. Staff recommends the lighting be brought up to Code Standards and redesigned to be compatible with the proposed design concept of the center. 6. The elevations show the proposed sign height to be of 24 inches. Staff believes that the sign height is not in proportion to the height of the building fascia. The proposed sign height should be reduced to 18 inches. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends that the project be revised per the above comments and be brought back for further review.

Design Parameters: The site is vacant parcel and contains no significant vegetation. The site slopes from north to south at an approximately 2 percent. The site is surrounded by industrial development to the north and across Toronto Avenue to the east, and across 7th Street to the south and to the west. The proposed building will be used for dual tenant warehouse/distribution activities. The office portion(s) of the building will front the public right-of-way of 7th Street. The loading area will front 7th Street but will be screened by a bermed decorative screen wall. The loading area was designed to face south because of the potential nuisance of the Santa Ana winds. The building design features a simple design with emphasis on the office portions with articulation, color variation, and use of sandblasted concrete with blue reflective colored glazing accents. The building orientation proposes truck loading docks facing 7th Street frontage. The Industrial Area Specific Plan requires trucks to be screened from public view.

(Cont'd from November 30, 1999) ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-42 - PKT PROPERTIES LLC - A design review of building elevations and detailed site plan for Tentative Tract 15963 consisting of 13 single family lots on 4.37 acres of land in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located south of Banyan Street, on the east side of Archibald Avenue and on the west side of London Avenue -APN: 201-251-01. Related files: Tentative Tract 15963. (Cont'd from November 30, 1999) Background: This item was reviewed by the Committee (McNiel and Fong) on October 19, 1999. The previous Design Review Comments and action have been attached for reference. At the October 19 meeting, the applicant was directed to work closely with staff to resolve the major and secondary issues presented. The Committee felt that all four proposed house design concepts were very similar and therefore difficult to differentiate. Staff Comments: The applicant has meet with staff and worked on resolving the design issues. The applicant has resubmitted a new plan that included the fallowing changes to the proposed house products, however, staff feels that the applicant has not addressed the Committees concerns • and the major and secondary issues presented at the October 19, 1999 meeting. 1. On house Plans 102 A and B, the right elevations have been enhanced to include exposed rafter tails along the eaves, a stucco over trim band below the gable pitch roof and a window with stucco trim over. 2. On house Plan 102A, a pot shelf was added to the front bedroom window. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends that the applicant continue to work with staff in addressing the outstanding issues and return to Design Review Committee for further review. Attachment Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Rudy Zeledon The Committee did not approve the project and directed the applicant to continue to work with staff to resolve the design issues presented. The applicant declined to continue to work with staff to resolve the design issues.

The site slopes from north to south at approximately 2 percent. There is an existing industrial building and rail spur to the west of the site. The GATX Building A is under construction to the east across Milliken Avenue. The building design incorporates the basic geometric and archway patterns that were established by the GATX buildings. The anticipated business activity involves large container truck loading which would occur within the building on the south side. The building will be visually prominent from Foothill Boulevard, especially while the land to the north remains vacant. 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. Provide the enhanced wall treatment design shown at the northeast corner of the building on the northwest corner as well given it's visual prominence relative to Foothill Boulevard. 2. Eliminate loading door on east elevation. • Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: Increase the amount of sandblasted concrete. Suggest providing sandblasted concrete in most or all of the square features along the parapets. 2. Provide enhanced entry/driveway designs per the Catellus Master Plan provisions including landscaping, specialized paving and hardscape features, and artwork. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: All roof and ground mounted equipment shall be fully screened from surrounding properties and streets. This may pose a challenge given that the site is visible from Foothill Boulevard which is several feet higher in elevation. 2. Screen walls shall not exceed an exposed height of 8 feet visible from surrounding properties of streets. Suggest sloping ground level up to screen walls to conceal height. 3. Provide at least one tree per 30 linear feet of building wall exposed to public view plus one tree per 30 linear feet of site perimeter, and one tree per 3 parking spaces to provide shade. This is a minimum landscaping requirement. Additional trees to enhance the main entry points and complement the building architecture shall be provided. • 4. Provide an employee out door eating area including seating and shade. The design of the outdoor eating area features shall match that established by the GATX project/Catellus Master Plan.

Attachments Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Brent Le Count The Committee reviewed the project and requested that the project be brought back for further review in light of the following: The Committee is not opposed to locating the at-grade loading door on the east (Milliken Avenue) elevation so long as it can be demonstrated that there will not be excessive outdoor activity near the door and that a trellis or other overhead type of structure be built in front of the door to minimize it's appearance. The door shall also be painted to match the adjacent building wall. 2. The Committee is in favor of providing no landscaping along the west side of the building to accommodate future rail service to the building and to minimize maintenance burden. • 3.

Design Parameters: The site is vacant parcel and contains no significant vegetation. The site slopes from north to south at an approximately 2 percent. The site is surrounded by industrial development to the north and across Toronto Avenue to the east, and across 7th Street to the south and to the west. The proposed building will be used for dual tenant warehouse/distribution activities. The office portion(s) of the building will front the public right-of-way of 7th Street. The loading area will front 7th Street but will be screened by a bermed decorative screen wall. The loading area was designed to face south because of the potential nuisance of the Santa Ana winds. The building design features a simple design with emphasis on the office portions with articulation, color variation, and use of sandblasted concrete with blue reflective colored glazing accents. The building orientation proposes truck loading docks facing 7th Street frontage. The Industrial Area Specific Plan requires trucks to be screened from public view. 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. Provide stronger vertical relief on the south face of and midway between the office entryway(s) of the building. 2. Provide sandblasted concrete banding at least 5-feet wide at the top of the building plane along the south elevation which faces 7th Street. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: The screen gates should be automated to ensure that the gate is open the minimum time necessary to allow trucks in and out of the loading area. 2. Downspouts on the south face of the building must be inside of the building. 3. The employee plaza areas shall be relocated or designed to be accessible for employees and not adjacent to the truck loading area and vehicular parking. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be revised and return to Design Review Committee as a consent calendar item.
