Related Files: Tentative Tract 15911 and Tentative Tract 15912, Development Review 99-72, and Variance 99-11. Design Parameters: The design review was approved by the Planning Commission on April 12, 2000. This approval was appealed to the City Council due to very high walls required for freeway noise mitigation. The appeal was resolved and the City Council upheld the Commission's decision on July 19, 2000. The site has been purchased from the previous developer by American Pacific Homes. The modification before the Committee involves architectural enhancements to the previously approved home Plans 3 and 4. American Pacific wishes to modify the interior floor plans and these changes affect the exterior of the homes. The exterior revisions primarily affect rooflines (though still hipped), window location and treatment, subtle material application changes, and massing. Please refer to the exhibits that indicate previously approved elevations and proposed new elevations for direct comparison. It is staff's opinion that the overall affect of the changes adds further enhancement to already well-designed homes. The changes do not appear to be related in any way to cost cutting measures but instead to developing superior home design. • Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Staff is in full support of the proposed modification. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Brent Le Count The Committee recommends approval of the subject architectural revisions. n U DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:20 p.m. Sal Salazar February 20, 2001 • PRELIMINARY REVIEW 01-02 -COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO - A courtesy review of expansion of the existing Juvenile Housing Facility located in the General Industrial Designation (Subarea 14), generally located north of 4th street on the west side of Etiwanda Avenue - APN: 229-283-70. Background/Analysis: A small detention facility within the West Valley Detention Center currently exists on-site and it houses 22 juveniles. The detention facility was constructed in 1996. Since construction of this facility, the demand forjuvenile detention services in the County has increased. To meet this demand, the County proposes to expand the existing facility. The proposed facility expansion consists of five single-story buildings, totaling 65,139 square feet and will accommodate an additional 160 juveniles. The buildings will be located in the northeast quadrant of the existing facility, and within the existing perimeter screen wall. The Design Review Committee and Planning Commission reviewed and commented on the existing facility in March and April 1996, respectively. The comments generated by the Committee and Commission were incorporated into the architecture and design of the building. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion: The architect for the project and the County representative will provide a description of the project • during the meeting. The description will explain the following: 1. How would the design of the proposed buildings (building materials and colors) compliment or enhance the existing building? 2. How the facilities (existing and proposed) are screened from Etiwanda Avenue. Staff Recommendations: Because the application is part of a County owned facility, the City of Rancho Cucamonga has no jurisdiction of the site and buildings (other than within the public right- of-way). The applicant has provided some plans as a courtesy review. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Sal Salazar The County agreed to provide landscaping along Etiwanda Avenue adjacent to the juvenile facility. The County will coordinate with the City (Engineering Division) for the installment of landscaping within the City's right-of-way. r 1 LJ DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:40 p.m. Rudy Zeledon February 20, 2001 • ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-40 -ARROW & UTICA PARTNERS.

Related File: Conditional Use Permit 97-19. Desion Parameters: The proposed project will occupy one of the drive-thru pads approved with the application to develop the 10-acre site at the northwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue. The shopping center was approved under Conditional Use Permit 97-19 that created a Master Plan for the development of this site. The Master Plan included a 68,355 square foot supermarket, two satellite pads totaling 5,000 square feet each, and two drive-thru pads totaling 2,500 and 3,500 square feet. The Master Plan addressed conceptual building locations, overall circulation, access points, parking layout, landscaping, and provided conceptual elevations to establish an architectural style, and the form, bulk, and height of certain architectural elements. The master Conditional Use Permit was approved in 1997, and the supermarket-shopping center is currently under construction. The development of a Jack In the Box restaurant was approved on one of the drive-thru pads, but construction has not yet begun (Development Review 99-12). 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 elevations appear very rigid and should be revised to provide greater variation in building design. This can be accomplished by providing variation in the building plane, roofline, and building mass. For example, consider the elevations for Jack In The Box, which has similar proportions yet creates a building with substantially greater visual interest (see attached exhibits). 2. Expand the use of architectural elements for greater consistency with the shopping center design. This could include additional use of native stone, wood trellises, tower elements, and decorative columns. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: Special decorative paving should be used for the entire pedestrian sidewalk system, consistent with the approved Master Plan. Including both the enhanced paving adjacent to the 2. The landscaped area to the' east and west of the building should be revised to include undulated berming. 3. Increase the size of the canopy columns to a minimum width dimension of 24 inches 4. Increase the size of the cornice element on the canopy for consistency with the primary building.

Design Parameters: The site contains two vacant and adjacent rectangular shaped parcels that total 19.25 acres. A stand of mature Eucalyptus trees along Hermosa Avenue were removed as a result of the City's Capital Improvement program to install a underground storm drain system along Hermosa Avenue. There is no significant vegetation on the site. The site is currently cultivated as a vineyard. The site slopes from north to south at an approximately 2 percent. The vacant industrially designated land surrounds the entire site. The proposed building is designed to house a single industrial warehouse tenant. The primary building design and 20,000 square foot office portion of the building will front Hermosa Avenue. The loading area face is oriented towards the south and does face Hermosa Avenue and staff will condition that the loading area be screened with an 8-foot high solid screen wall. The buildings incorporate two primary building materials, however, more sandblasted concrete could be used (northeast corner of the building). The office portion of the building is well articulated with strong vertical and horizontals changes and recess to the building plane that are carried throughout and on all sides of the buildings. Additionally, the public patio areas are designed to be accessible to the office entryways of the facilities without conflicting with on-site traffic maneuvering areas. The • color variation of the building is blackthorn and iron house grey, white shadow and cavlier blue accent squares, color scheme on a primarily concrete tilt-up fapade. There is also vertical sandblast concrete element along with blue reflective colored glazing accents to help create contrast. 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: Provide sandblasted concrete at the northeast corner of the building, and design some movement along the fapade to mimic the office portion of the building at the southeast corner. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: Provide pedestrian plaza screen wall minimum 3 feet high, around outdoor employee eating areas. 2. Decorative paving should be installed at the primary entrance (southerly entrance). 3. An 8-foot high solid screen wall must be installed along the south property line to screen the loading area, and should be architecturally compatible with the building. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be • incorporated into the project design without discussion. No exterior downspouts shall be visible from the adjacent right-of-ways.

Related File: Conditional Use Permit 97-19. Design Parameters: The proposed project will occupy one of the drive-thru pads approved with the application to develop the 10-acre site at the northwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue. The shopping center was approved under Conditional Use Permit 97-19 that created a Master Plan for the development of this site. The Master Plan included a 68,355 square foot supermarket, two satellite pads totaling 5,000 square feet each, and two drive-thru pads totaling 2,500 and 3,500 square feet. The Master Plan addressed conceptual building locations, overall circulation, access points, parking layout, landscaping, and provided conceptual elevations to establish an architectural style, and the form, bulk, and height of certain architectural elements. The master Conditional Use Permit was approved in 1997, and the supermarket-shopping center is currently under construction. The development of a Jack In the Box restaurant was approved on one of the drive-thru pads, but construction has not yet begun (Development Review 99-12). 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 elevations appear very rigid and should be revised to provide greater variation in building design. This can be accomplished by providing variation in the building plane, roofline, and building mass. For example, consider the elevations for Jack In The Box, which has similar proportions yet creates a building with substantially greatervisual interest (see attached exhibits). Expand the use of architectural elements for greater consistency with the shopping center design. This could include additional use of native stone, wood trellises, tower elements, and decorative columns. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. Special decorative paving should be used for the entire pedestrian sidewalk system, consistent with the approved Master Plan. Including both the enhanced paving adjacent to the 2. The landscaped area to the east and west of the building should be revised to include undulated berming. 3. Increase the size of the canopy columns to a minimum width dimension of 24 inches 4. Increase the size of the cornice element on the canopy for consistency with the primary building. • DRC COMMENTS CUP 00-45 - ALBERTSON'S EXPRESS February 6, 2001 • Page 2 Policv Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: The trash enclosure shall be designed for compatibility with the City Standard Drawing. 2. All signs shall be designed to comply with the centers Uniform Sign Program. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the project be designed to comply with the preceding comments and return to the Committee for further review and consideration. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Staff Planner: Tom Grahn • • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 7:30 p.m. Doug Fenn February 6, 2001 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-65 - HOGLE-IRELAND -A request to construct a 456,274 square foot industrial building on 19.25 acres of land in the General Industrial District (Subarea 5) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, located west of Hermosa Avenue and north of 6th Street - APN: 209-211-30 and 31. Design Parameters: The site contains two vacant and adjacent rectangular shaped parcels that total 19.25 acres. A stand of mature Eucalyptus trees along Hermosa Avenue were removed as a result of the City's Capital Improvement program to install a underground storm drain system along Hermosa Avenue. There is no significant vegetation on the site. The site is currently cultivated as a vineyard. The site slopes from north to south at an approximately 2 percent. The vacant industrially designated land surrounds the entire site. The proposed building is designed to house a single industrial warehouse tenant. The primary building design and 20,000 square foot office portion of the building will front Hermosa Avenue. The loading area face is oriented towards the south and does face Hermosa Avenue and staff will condition that the loading area be screened with an 8-foot high solid screen wall. The buildings incorporate two primary building materials, however, more sandblasted concrete could be used (northeast corner of the building). The office portion of the building is well articulated with strong vertical and horizontals changes and recess to the building plane that are carried throughout and on all sides of the buildings. Additionally, the public patio areas are designed to be accessible to the office entryways of the facilities without conflicting with on-site traffic maneuvering areas. The • color variation of the building is blackthorn and iron house grey, white shadow and cavlier blue accent squares, color scheme on a primarily concrete tilt-up facade. There is also vertical sandblast concrete element along with blue reflective colored glazing accents to help create contrast. 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: Provide sandblasted concrete at the northeast corner of the building, and design some movement along the facade to mimic the office portion of the building at the southeast corner. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: Provide pedestrian plaza screen wall minimum 3 feet high, around outdooremployee eating areas. Decorative paving should be installed at the primary entrance (southerly entrance). An 8-foot high solid screen wall must be installed along the south property line to screen the loading area, and should be architecturally compatible with the building. • Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion. No exterior downspouts shall be visible from the adjacent right-of-ways.

Desiqn Parameters: The site contains one vacant parcel that is 2.17 acres. The site slopes from north to south about at approximately 2 to 4 percent and is currently cultivated as a vineyard. There are no mature trees on the site nor is there any significant vegetation on the site. The site is located within an area identified as potential habitat for the Delhi Sands Flower Loving Fly. The applicant has submitted a biological Survey for the site. The street frontages along Sixth Street are unimproved with no curb and gutter, sidewalk or street side landscaping. There is an existing drive approach at the southwest corner of the site that will be shared with the industrial property to the west. The project site is bordered to the north, south (across 6th street), and east by existing industrial development. To the west is an existing industrial complex and vacant land north of the complex. The proposed multi-tenant industrial building will be oriented on a north and south axis. The building incorporates primary building materials: painted and sandblasted concrete. Secondary design material accents such colored panel reveal bands, and blue reflective glazed glass is also proposed. The building design is consistent with the architectural style of industrial park district in • which it is located. The office portions of the multi-tenant building will be along the southeast corner, northeast corner, and east areas of the building. The office elevations feature a well articulated building surface, with vertical and horizontal changes to the building plane, color variation and use of sandblasted concrete with blue reflective colored glass accents. The building plane along the north and west elevations will feature horizontal panel reveal bands (painted gray) and an arched scored reveal design theme between each building panel. The loading area of the building is proposed along the west area of the building. 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: Staff has no major issues with this project the applicant has worked with staff in addressing earlier issues and staff is pleased with the outcome. 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 8-foot wrought iron fence, along the west property line, should be replaced with a solid 8-foot wall to ensure proper screening of the truck loading area. 2. The 5-foot landscaped planter, adjacent to the building at northeast corner, should be continued along the entire north elevation and length of the parking row. In addition, a • landscaped planter (a minimum 5-foot inside dimension) should be provided at the end of the parking row to provide a buffer between truck and vehicle traffic.
