ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM16141 -HIMES, PETERS, JEPSON ARCHITECTS - A request to subdivide 12.78 acres of land in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 17) into 11 lots to allow for the construction of a phased industrial development consisting of 21 industrial buildings, located on the south side of 9th Street and east side of Baker Avenue -APN: 0207-271-20, 35, 43, and 44. Related Files: DRC2003-00146, and Tree Removal Permit DRC2003-00619. Design Parameters: The site is vacant and vegetation consists of indigenous weeds. There is a row of Eucalyptus trees that transverse the southeast side of the site. The applicant has submitted a Tree Removal Permit requesting to remove the trees. North and west of the site are developed with single-family homes and a restaurant (Cask & Cleaver). South and east of the site are partially developed with industrial buildings and partially vacant land. The project involves the ultimate development of twenty-one industrial buildings, which would be used for warehouse and distribution, light manufacturing with limited office space. It will be • developed in three phases, where 4 buildings will be in Phase I, 6 buildings will be in Phase II, and the rest in Phase III. The buildings will be self sufficient with independent access, parking, and utility services. Finish materials for the building exterior will include concrete tilt-up walls, sandblast treatment and painted accent colors, horizontal reveal lines, and aluminum fixed tinted glass windows and doors. Each building will have its own outdoor eating areas for employees. 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: Further attention should be given to the proposed building elevations and footprints to reflect "a high-quality, progressive, sophisticated style of development" as encouraged by the Development Code. 2. Design the office portion as the architectural focus with appearance of an office building and projecting a formal entry statement. Use more sandblasting material, spandrel glass and add more articulation to the building plane with pop-out and recessed areas. Modify the Site, Landscape and Grading Plans to address the Code deficiencies regarding parking and landscape setbacks along Baker Avenue, landscape setback along 9th Street and the proposed Street "A," 5-foot wide landscape planters around the perimeter of the buildings, minimum drive aisle width of 28 feet when adjacent to loading doors. 4. Consider re-orienting Buildings L and V to parallel Baker Avenue, which would provide screening from the residential uses. DRC COMMENTS DRC2003-00146 & SUBTPM16141 - HIMES, PETERS, JEPSON ARCHITECTS July 15, 2003 • Page 2 Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: Provide greater variation to the proposed rooflines through the use of vertical separations and extensions and expansions in the parapet lines on all sides of the proposed elevations. 2. Design light poles and fixtures so they are architecturally compatible with building design. The individual light poles and wall-mounted light fixtures adjacent to residential areas should not exceed 15 feet in height. All light fixtures should have shields where the light source is pointed downward to prevent glare onto adjoining residential areas. 3. Provide perimeter wall when abutting residential uses. The screen wall should be of decorative material such as tilt-up concrete, double split-face or fluted split-face. 4. Trash enclosure area for Building K should move away from the outdoor patio area. 5. Increase aisle width at the western edge between Buildings C and H so there is sufficient maneuvering area for auto and truck traffic. 6. Provide a minimum of 6 feet wide planters at the end of parking spaces and the trash enclosure area between Buildings R or O and G. 7. Move the outdoor patio area for Building J at the southeastern edge of the site away from the 54-inch storm drain. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: Provide one tree per 30 linear feet of building perimeter. •This will necessitate creating a minimum 5-foot wide planter along the perimeter of the building except for loading docks, and at-grade roll-up doors. Within parking lots, trees shall be planted at a rate of one tree for every 3 parking stalls provided in the planters. Along property boundaries, trees shall be planted at a rate of one tree per 30 linear feet of property line. All roof, wall, and ground-mounted equipment shall be screened on all sides of the development. Screening shall be incorporated into the building and site design, ratherthan have a "tacked on" appearance. 4. Design trash enclosures per City Standards. 5. Paint roll-up doors and service doors to blend-in with main building colors. 6. Provide interior overflow drain and pipes. 7. There are no elevations proposed for Phase III development (Buildings L through V or W). Phase III would be subjected to a new Development Review application in the future. • Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the project be revised and submitted for further Committee review.

Design Parameters: The project is a single phased development. Phase two is located south of the project site and is a master plan concept for future development. The project, a recreational vehicle and boat storage facility, contains165 covered storage spaces, 278 open spaces, a 1,200 square foot office and caretaker residence, and a 1,800 square foot detail area for recreational vehicles and boats. Access to the site will be via Victoria Avenue. No off site signage will be allowed and staff is recommending that a Uniform Sign Program be implemented because of the proximity of the freeways and single-family residences to the south. Staff Comments: Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: . 1. The office and caretaker unit has a colonnade on the west and south sides with some dry stack vertical elements. Because the site is within the Etiwanda Specific Plan area, the building design should reflect a historic craftsman/bungalow style. Provide decorative treatment and elements such as but not limited to battered shape river rock columns, dormers, raftertails, triangular braced supports, sidings, molding trim around windows, river rock wainscot around the unit, and other residential elements to compliment the neighboring residences to the west. Use flat the for the roof instead of metal. 2. The covered R.V storage buildings should better reflect the architectural elements of the caretaker's residence. The proposed surface material treatment next to the 4-foot recessed area should wrap to the recessed area. The material should be of river rock. Provide the same river rock columns treatment to the ends of each covered storage building. 3. The building wall along the south property boundary needs to be architecturally treated to break up the monotonous design or provide a 20-foot landscape area. 4. Provide a Conceptual Landscape Plan showing the density of trees at the north side of the site as required by the Planning Commission at the Pre-application meeting. Provide sight line studies and illustrative sections to proof that the area is screened from freeway view. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: Provide decorative pavement within drive entry throats (outside public right-of-way). 2. Access gates shall be opaque. • 3. Provide the river rock columns to the Detailed Shop. DRC COMMENTS DRC2003-00048 -CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES July 15, 2003 • Page 2 4. Delete 6 parking spaces to the west of the project across the manager's office because of conflict with entry area. 5. No outdoor lighting shall spill over unto neighboring residential neighborhoods. 6. Applicant shall apply for a Uniform Sign Program. ' Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee address major and secondary issues and come back before the Committee for review. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Pam Stewart, Christine McPhail, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Doug Fenn The applicant agreed to address the identified major and secondary design issues of the staff comments. Staff stated in the meeting that item no. 6 of the secondary issues would betaken care of as a condition of approval. The Committee asked the applicant to provide a vertical element treatment to the recessed area for the covered RV storage building. The Committee directed the applicant to work with staff in revising the plans to address all the identified issues. Once staff determined that the revised plans have satisfactorily addressed the identified issues, then the • project could be forwarded back as a Consent Item.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM16141 -HIMES, PETERS, JEPSON ARCHITECTS - A request to subdivide 12.78 acres of land in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 17) into 11 lots to allow for the construction of a phased industrial development consisting of 21 industrial buildings, located on the south side of 9th Street and east side of Baker Avenue -APN: 0207-271-20, 35, 43, and 44. Related Files: DRC2003-00146, and Tree Removal Permit DRC2003-00619. Design Parameters: The site is vacant and vegetation consists of indigenous weeds. There is a row of Eucalyptus trees that transverse the southeast side of the site. The applicant has submitted a Tree Removal Permit requesting to remove the trees. North and west of the site are developed with single-family homes and a restaurant (Cask & Cleaver). South and east of the site are partially developed with industrial buildings and partially vacant land. The project involves the ultimate development of twenty-one industrial buildings, which would be used for warehouse and distribution, light manufacturing with limited office space. It will be • developed in three phases, where 4 buildings will be in Phase I, 6 buildings will be in Phase II, and the rest in Phase I I I. The buildings will be self sufficient with independent access, parking, and utility services. Finish materials for the building exterior will include concrete tilt-up walls, sandblast treatment and painted accent colors, horizontal reveal lines, and aluminum fixed tinted glass windows and doors. Each building will have its own outdoor eating areas for employees. 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. Further attention should be given to the proposed building elevations and footprints to reflect "a high-quality, progressive, sophisticated style of development" as encouraged by the Development Code. 2. Design the office portion as the architectural focus with appearance of an office building and projecting a formal entry statement. Use more sandblasting material, spandrel glass and add more articulation to the building plane with pop-out and recessed areas. 3. Modify the Site, Landscape and Grading Plans to address the Code deficiencies regarding parking and landscape setbacks along Baker Avenue, landscape setback along 9th Street and the proposed Street "A," 5-foot wide landscape planters around the perimeter of the buildings, minimum drive aisle width of 28 feet when adjacent to loading doors. 4. Consider re-orienting Buildings L and V to parallel Baker Avenue, which would provide • screening from the residential uses. DRC COMMENTS DRC2003-00146 & SUBTPM16141 - HIMES, PETERS, JEPSON ARCHITECTS July 15, 2003 • Page 2 Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: Provide greater variation to the proposed rooflines through the use of vertical separations and extensions and expansions in the parapet lines on all sides of the proposed elevations. Design light poles and fixtures so they are architecturally compatible with building design. The individual light poles and wall-mounted lightfixtures adjacentto residential areas should not exceed 15 feet in height. All light fixtures should have shields where the light source is pointed downward to prevent glare onto adjoining residential areas. 3. Provide perimeter wall when abutting residential uses. The screen wall should be of decorative material such as tilt-up concrete, double split-face or fluted split-face. 4. Trash enclosure area for Building K should move away from the outdoor patio area. 5. Increase aisle width at the western edge between Buildings C and H so there is sufficient maneuvering area for auto and truck traffic. 6. Provide a minimum of 6 feet wide planters at the end of parking spaces and the trash enclosure area between Buildings R or O and G. • 7. Move the outdoor patio area for Building J at the southeastern edge of the site away from the 54-inch storm drain. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: Provide one tree per 30 linear feet of building perimeter. This will necessitate creating a minimum 5-foot wide planter along the perimeter of the building except for loading docks, and at-grade roll-up doors. 2. Within parking lots, trees shall be planted at a rate of one tree for every 3 parking stalls provided in the planters. Along property boundaries, trees shall be planted at a rate of one tree per 30 linear feet of property line. 3. All roof, wall, and ground-mounted equipment shall be screened on all sides of the development. Screening shall be incorporated into the building and site design, rather than have a "tacked on" appearance. 4. Design trash enclosures per City Standards. 5. Paint roll-up doors and service doors to blend-in with main building colors. 6. Provide interior overflow drain and pipes. 7. There are no elevations proposed for Phase III development (Buildings L through V or W). Phase III would be subjected to a new Development Review application in the future. • Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the project be revised and submitted for further Committee review.

Design Parameters: The project is a single phased development. Phase two is located south of the project site and is a master plan concept for future development. The project, a recreational vehicle and boat storage facility, contains165 covered storage spaces, 278 open spaces, a 1,200 square foot office and caretaker residence, and a 1,800 square foot detail area for recreational vehicles and boats. Access to the site will be via Victoria Avenue. No off site signage will be allowed and staff is recommending that a Uniform Sign Program be implemented because of the proximity of the freeways and single-family residences to the south. Staff Comments Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: . 1. The office and caretaker unit has a colonnade on the west and south sides with some dry stack vertical elements. Because the site is within the Etiwanda Specific Plan area, the building design should reflect a historic craftsman/bungalow style. Provide decorative treatment and elements such as but not limited to battered shape river rock columns, dormers, rafter tails, triangular braced supports, sidings, molding trim around windows, river rock wainscot around the unit, and other residential elements to compliment the neighboring residences to the west. Use flat file for the roof instead of metal. 2. The covered R.V storage buildings should better reflect the architectural elements of the caretaker's residence. The proposed surface material treatment next to the 4-foot recessed area should wrap to the recessed area. The material should be of river rock. Provide the same river rock columns treatment to the ends of each covered storage building. 3. The building wall along the south property boundary needs to be architecturally treated to break up the monotonous design or provide a 20-foot landscape area. Provide a Conceptual Landscape Plan showing the density of trees at the north side of the site as required by the Planning Commission at the Pre-application meeting. Provide sight line studies and illustrative sections to proof that the area is screened from freeway view. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: Provide decorative pavement within drive entry throats (outside public right-of-way). 2. Access gates shall be opaque. • 3. Provide the river rock columns to the Detailed Shop. 4. Delete 6 parking spaces to the west of the project across the manager's office because of conflict with entry area. DRC COMMENTS DRC2003-00048 -CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES July 15, 2003 • Page 2 5. No outdoor lighting shall spill over unto neighboring residential neighborhoods. 6. Applicant shall apply for a Uniform Sign Program.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 7:25 p.m. Rick Fisher July 1, 2003 DESIGN REVIEW DRC2003-00164-JUSTIN DING -A requestfordesign reviewfor7single-family residences on 7 lots in the Very Low Residential District (less than 2 dwelling units per acre) on 4.76 acres of land, located on the northwest corner of Wilson Avenue and Mayberry Avenue - APN: 1074-261-05. Related file: TT16274. Design Parameters: The 4.76 acre project site slopes gently from northeast to southwest at a gradient of approximately 6 percent. There are several fruit trees scattered throughout the site with a Eucalyptus W indrow on the north and east property lines. The windrow on the north property line will remain while the one on the east property line will be removed in order to allow for construction of the homes. There are three existing California Oak trees on site that are required to be preserved according to an arborist report prepared for the site. Surrounding land uses are single-family homes on all sides. The seven proposed single-family homes will betwo-story and will range in size from 3,687 square feet to 5,525 square feet. Lot sizes range from 20,130 square feet to 30,444 square feet. A cul-de-sac street will be constructed off W ilson Avenue and will provide access to 4 lots. The three remaining lots will take access off Mayberry Avenue. Local feeder trails will be located in the rear of each lot and a Community trail will be constructed along the W ilson Avenue frontage. Individual corrals will be located in the rear yards of each lot with access to the local feeder trails via wooden gates. Six-foot high slump stone block walls will surround the site. The walls will contain capped river rock pilasters along the W ilson Avenue frontage • The Floor Plans of all homes will contain large kitchens, living rooms, dining rooms, family rooms, study rooms, pantries, and laundry rooms. Each home will have 4 and 5 bedrooms as well as 4 and 5 bathrooms. Some models will contain spiral staircases at the entry foyers. An attached three-car garage will be provided for each home. Each of the seven homes will have a distinct appearance and yet will use similar building materials. Building materials will include brick veneer, stucco, prefabricated window sills, prefabricated trim around the front doors, flat concrete file roofs, prefabricated balustrades on the second floor balconies, prefabricated columns, crown moldings, and decorative coynes. The south elevations of the homes on Lots 1, 4, and 5 will face Wilson Avenue. The use of 360-degree architecture has enhanced the visual appeal of these homes from this collector street. The developer is proposing block walls throughout the tract. 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: The three existing Coast Live Oak trees identified in arborist report as #21, #23, and #24 shall be preserved by relocation to the southeast corner of Lot 1, the southwest corner of Lot 4, and the southeast corner of Lot 5. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: • 1. Precision block is not an acceptable wall material along streets, such as Wilson Avenue, between homes (returns), or corner side yards. City policy requires walls to be decorative, such as split-face block, slump block, stucco, etc. Walls along Wilson Avenue further east are stucco. DRC COMMENTS DRC2003-00164-JUSTIN DING July 1, 2003 • Page 2 2. The decorative pilasters on the block wall that fronts on Wilson Avenue shall be covered with real river rock, not veneer. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the Design Review Committee recommend approval, subject to the suggestions above being made conditions of approval. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Rick Fisher The Committee recommended approval with the following conditions: Work with staff to determine the specific three Oak trees that are to be preserved by relocation. 2. The wall along W ilson Avenue should follow the predominant design theme, which is stucco with cap. The pilaster should be of real river rock or ledger stone. 3. Walls along the rear, side, corner side and return wall should be of decorative material such as split-face, slump stone or stucco. However, section of the walls along the side property • line abutting a local trail or rear yard fence that abut local trails may be of wrought iron material. The length of the wrought iron fence will be subject to City Planner review and approval. • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:45 p.m. Warren Morelion July 1, 2003 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 16430 -MANNING HOMES - A residential subdivision of 23 single-family lots on 13.6 acres of land in the Very Low Residential District (less than 2 dwelling units per acre), located at the southwest corner of Hillside Road and Archibald Avenue - APN: 1061-571-04, O8, 09, 21, and 22. Related File: Tree Removal Permit DRC2002-00917. Desion Parameters: This is a deceptively complex site with challenging constraints and opportunities that the applicant has been diligently working on with staff for months. The project is located within the Equestrian Rural Overlay District and a public Community Trail is planned along Archibald Avenue. The applicant is proposing to subdivide 13.6 acres of land into 23single-family lots that range in size from 20,140 square feet to 30,610 square feet. The site is located on the west side of Archibald Avenue, between Hillside Road and Wilson Avenue. The site falls 85 feet from Hillside Road to W ilson Avenue at approximately 8 percent grade and has three remnant Eucalyptus windrows and numerous random trees scattered throughout the property. The site is primarily vacant with the exception of the existing Toews Residence and barn, Potential Local Landmarks within the City. The site also has an empty water retention basin near Archibald Avenue and Hillside Road. The applicant is requesting a Landmark Designation for the home. In addition, the applicant is requesting a Landmark Alteration to move the home north to a 1/2 acre lot at the southwest corner of Hillside Road and Archibald Avenue. The alteration would include the demolition of the existing barn and construction of a new barn at the new location. The applicant is not proposing any other restoration of the home. The site also has a vacated Edison substation near the corner of Archibald • and Wilson Avenues. The site is surrounded by existing single-family developments to the east, west, and south. To the north of the site is the historic landmark Demens-Tolstoy residence and vacant land. The project site has 47 mature Pines, Sycamores, and Oak trees along Wilson and Archibald Avenues that were planted with the Edison substation. In addition there are three remnant Eucalyptus windrows and a number of random trees scattered throughout the property. The total number of trees on-site is approximately 213, of which 161 are heritage trees as defined by the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance. The applicant is requesting to remove the trees with replacement. 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: Trees -The developer should preserve-in-place or replace the mature Pine, Sycamore, and Oak trees along Wilson and Archibald Avenues surrounding the abandoned Edison substation. Under the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance, preservation-in-place is preferred; however, if infeasible, replacement shall be with the largest nursery grown specimens available as determined by the City Planner. Preserving these trees would require adjustment to the tract layout (and may reduce lot yield) and keeping the grade the same underneath their drip line (i.e., no cut or fill). The arborist to have less than 50 percent success beyond 10 years estimates relocation. • 2. Cul-de-sac streets "A" and "B" should be shortened approximately 50-60 feet to maximize front yard area for Lots 4-5 and 1.3-14 DRC COMMENTS TT 16430-MANNING HOMES July 1, 2003 • Page 2 Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. Fencing -The Committee has established a new policy to require block walls instead of wood fencing along interior side and rear property lines, or, in this case, along trail easements, for permanency, durability, and design consistency within new tracts. The City already required block walls between homes ("returns"), corner side yards, and project perimeter. Lots 1-4 Fencing -The applicant is proposing open view fencing at the base of the rear yard slopes on Lots 1 through 4, behind the private equestrian easement; however, where corral pads are planned the applicant is proposing block walls. This design creates a solid and open combination wall along Wilson Avenue. There are examples along Wilson Avenue where private equestrian easements are visible to the public and have become an unsightly maintenance problem. Homeowner's seem reluctant to maintain that which they cannot see. It is staff's opinion that it is important to create a wall system that is both decorative and provides security and privacy for future homeowners without creating a "no mans land" for weeds and debris; therefore, a block wall is recommnended at the right-of-way line along Wilson Avenue. 3. All exterior retaining walls, freestanding walls, and open view fencing visible to the public shall be made of a decorative material with pilasters and cap. The pilasters shall have stone • treatment and be a minimum of 30 inches by 30 inches in size. Final design of all walls shall be to the satisfaction of the City Planner. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the project subject to the above-mention comments. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Warren Morelion The Committee recommended approval of the project subject to the above-mentioned comments and the following: The Committee was concerned about the number of trees being removed on-site. The Committee asked the applicant to take another look at the trees on the site to see if, at possible, any trees could be saved. The Committee recommended the issue be resolved in the future at the Planning Commission meeting after the applicant had a chance to restudy the possibility of preserving or relocating trees, and after the Committee had a chance to read the arborist report to get better clarification on the health and location of the trees on the site. 2. The Committee did not think the cul-de-sac streets needed to be shortened. • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 8:05 p.m. Donald Granger July 1, 2003 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2003-00239-CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES -The master plan and design review of 7 buildings totaling 339,377 square feet on 20.52 acres of land in the General Industrial District (Subarea 2), located at the southeast corner of 9th Street and Vineyard Avenue -APN: 0209-013-01, 02, 11, and 18.

Related Files: Development Review DRC2003-00239 and Preliminary Review DRC2002-00707. Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration. Design Parameters: The project site is vacant land with no significant vegetation. The most significant feature is an open drainage channel that runs diagonally across the site from northeast to southwest. A railroad spur easement exists along the east and north property lines. The neighborhood is characterized by non-descript industrial buildings built pre-1977 under the County. To the east is the City Maintenance Yard. • The project includes three distinct building types: multi-tenant (Buildings 1 and 2), warehouse (Buildings 3, 4, 5) and industrial (Buildings 6 and 7). To meet the two primary building materials requirement, the applicant has designed the buildings with smooth concrete and sandblasted concrete. Entryways to the buildings are recessed, framed by the use of storefront glazing and mullions. All elevations exhibit 360-degree architecture, with horizontal and vertical reveals and accent squares providing relief and visual interest to the wall plane. A wide variety of accent colors that complement the primary colors will be used throughout the project. All screen walls within the project have architectural treatment and have been designed to match the corresponding building. 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: Buildings 3 and 4 should have additional sandblasted concrete in order to fulfill the requirement of having two primary building materials. Sandblasted concrete should be added in larger proportions to all office/entrances areas at all elevations for Building 3, and to all office/entrance areas at the northeast and southeast elevations of Building 4. Adding sandblasted concrete to the office areas/building entrances, instead of the proposed color "white solitude," will frame the building entrances and provide a formal entrance statement. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: • 1. Use broad canopy trees to shade all parking areas instead of small Oleanders. Goal is to shade at least 50 percent of pavement at summer solstice. Oleanders should only be used as an accent tree. DRC COMMENTS DRC2003-00239 AND SUBTPM16167 -CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES July 1, 2003 • Page 2 Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. All roll-up doors shall be painted to match the building. 2. Undulating berms in the landscaped setback areas shall be provided to create visual interest and to screen parking areas. 3. Outdoor furniture shall be provided in the outdoor employee eating area. 4. Exterior downspouts shall be located only in the loading areas. Interior downspouts are permitted in all other areas. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee approve the project subject to the modifications as recommended above. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Donald Granger • The Committee reviewed the project and recommend approval of the project subject to the following conditions: 1. Sandblasted concrete shall be added to all office/entrances areas at all elevations for Building 3, and to all office/entrance areas at the northeast and southeast elevations of Building 4. 2. Broad canopy trees shall be used to shade all parking areas instead of small Oleanders. Oleanders may be used as an accent tree. • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 8:25 p.m. Debra Meier July 1, 2003 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTAND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2003-00336-CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES - A proposal to develop 210 apartment homes and associated recreation facilities on 8.78 acres of land in the Mixed Use High Density Residential District (24-30 dwelling units per acre) within the Victoria Arbors Master Plan, located on the west side of Day Creek Boulevard, north of Foothill Boulevard - APN: 0227-201-39 and 43. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVLEOPMENTREVIEW DRC2003-00337-CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES - A proposal to develop 387 apartment homes and associated recreation facilities on 15.41 acres of land in the Mixed Use Hi Staff Comments: These two projects were presented as a Planning Commission Workshop on May 14, 2003 (minutes of that meeting attached). The applicant has been working on revisions to the projects that not only respond to issues raised in the Workshop, but also to details identified in the staff completeness letter dated April 29, 2003. The applicant has requested this meetirig with the Committee to discuss only the al•chitectural detailing of the project as it relates to previous Workshop suggestions and the Victoria Arbors Design Guidelines. The applicant will be presenting illustrations of architectural and site details for the Committee's conceptual review. The entire project application will return to the Committee at a later date. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee review the architectural and other • site details and make appropriate recommendations for the applicant's consideration. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Debra Meier Staff reiterated to the Committee that the purpose of this meeting was only to review the architectural and site design details as it relates to meeting the intent of the Victoria Arbors Design Guidelines. The entire project will return to the Committee for review at a later date. The applicant reviewed the revisions to the Site Plan that have been made pursuant to comments provided at the Planning Commission Workshop, which was held on May 14, 2003, as well as comments provided by staff. Revisions include a realignment of the buildings along the street frontage, providing larger pockets of open space and utilizing the recreation buildings as project focal points, among other modifications. The Committee encouraged the applicant to explore an open fencing design along Day Creek Boulevard (to the extent that noise mitigation requirements will allow). This could include segments with no fencing or the use of wrought iron fencing between block columns. The two projects feature two distinct architectural themes. Meritage utilizes an Italianate theme and the Chambray portion features a French Country theme. The Committee provided recommendations to the applicant for further enhancements to each theme: • DRC COMMENTS DRC2003-00336 AND DRC2003-00337 -CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES July 1, 2003 Page 2 Italianate -The Committee recommended that the porch and balcony railing elements are wrought iron (or tubular steel) and vary in design across the building elevation. In addition, the committee encouraged the applicant to be generous with the use of stone on this theme type. French Country -They concurred with the applicant's presentation of the French Country theme, however they recommended that the fireplaces be completely clad in stone. The Committee concurred with staff, in that the applicant has made significant and notable progress on the site layout and architectural themes utilized in the projects. The applicant will be preparing a resubmittal to staff to respond to all completeness issues and comments, and the project will return for complete review by the Committee at a future date. • • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 8:45 p.m. Nancy Fong July 1, 2003 VARIANCE DRC2003-00517 - MICHAELS - A request to place two wall signs on the south elevation for an existing building (formerly Montgomery Ward) within the Terra Vista Town Center located at 10788 Foothill Boulevard - APN: 1077-422-26. Design Parameters: On December 17, 2002, the Design Review Committee approved the design modification to the formerly Montgomery Ward building, which included subdividing the space to accommodate multiple tenants. Home Goods has just moved in and the store is at the east side of the building. Michaels is completing its tenant improvements and the store is at the center space of the building. Pier 1 will be located in the westerly space. The attached Exhibit "A2" shows the design of the building with the possible signs. Tenants in this building are subject to the approved Uniform Sign Program for Terra Vista Town Center and the Sign Ordinance. Because Michaels would like to place two wall signs on the same elevation, which is not allowed by the Sign Ordinance, they have submitted a Variance application. Exhibit "C" is the written justification from the applicant. 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 proposed two signs consist of "Michaels" placed at the tower of the south elevation and "The Arts and Craft Store" placed at the east side of the south elevation (see Exhibit "B") "Michaels" is 36 inches in height with a sign area of 53.4 square feet. "The Arts and Crafts Store" is 24 inches in height with a sign area of 112.4 square feet. The total sign area of the two signs is 165.8 square feet. Comments: According to the Sign Ordinance and the approved Uniform Sign Program for Terra Vista Town Center, a business is allowed to have only one sign per elevation. Allowing Michaels to have two signs would set a precedent citywide and for all tenants in Terra Vista Town Center. Staff has suggested various options for their wall sign that meets the Sign Ordinance and the Uniform Sign Program, but the applicant has not accepted any of the options. The options are: a. One line of sign copy consisting of "Michaels" not exceeding 36 inches in sign height to be placed on the tower of the building entry. b. Two line sign copy (stacked) consisting of "Michaels" and "Arts and Crafts" not exceeding 36 inches in sign height to be placed on the tower of the building entry. The City has previously approved this wall sign for their existing store in Foothill Marketplace. c. One line of sign copy consisting of "Michaels, Arts and Crafts" not exceeding 36 inches in sign height to be placed on the building wall, east of the building Tower. Note that this side of the building wall contains planters that include tall Palm trees and other landscape materials where the placement of a sign here may not be too visible (see Exhibit "A2"). • DRC COMMENTS DRC2003-00517 - MICHAELS July 1, 2003 • Page 2 Display of Extraneous Information and a Registered Trademark: The applicant stated that they needed to display "The Arts and Crafts Store" because it is a registered trademark. According to our City Attorney, the Sign Ordinance does not specifically allow trademarks; therefore, may preclude the display of a registered trademark. The City has authority to prohibit the use of a registered trademark. If the City is to allow the display of a trademark, then the design cannot be altered. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that Design Review Committee forward a recommendation of denial of the Variance request to the Planning Commission, and direct the applicant to work with staff to resolve the wall sign issue. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Nancy Fong The Committee did not approve the proposed second sign at the south elevation. The Committee would accept Option B of the staff report, which consists of two lines of sign copy (stacked) with "Michaels" and "The Arts and Crafts Store." The sigh should not exceed 36 inches in sign height and be place at the tower of the south elevation. • • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 9:05 p.m. Kirt Coury July 1, 2003 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT16347 -FORECAST GROUP - A request to subdivide 6.2 acres of land into 1-lot for condominium purposes in the Medium Residential District (8-14 dwelling units per acre), Etiwanda South Overlay District, and Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District within the Etiwanda Specific Plan, located on the west side of Etiwanda Avenue, north of Foothill Boulevard -APN: 0227-211-17, 22, 23, 32, 33, 34, and 35.

Design Parameters: The property is developed on the westerly Parcel 1 with a 32,918 square foot single-story industrial building. Both parcels comply with the 1/2 acre minimum lot size required by Subarea 4 of the General Industrial District. Proposed Parcel 2 is vacant land. A 17-foot railroad easement exists along the east property line of Proposed Parcel 2 and contains a railroad spur track that serves local businesses. Surrounding land uses include industrial buildings to the north, east, south, and west. A condition of approval will be placed on the map that specifies when either parcel are developed, they will comply with all current development standards of Subarea 4 of the General Industrial District, including, but not limited to, landscaping, parking, building setbacks, and parking setbacks. 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. None. The applicant has worked diligently with staff to resolve the issues. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the Design Review Committee recommend approval to the Planning Commission. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Staff Planner: Rick Fisher • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 7:25 p.m. Rick Fisher July 1, 2003 DESIGN REVIEW DRC2003-00164 -JUSTIN DING - A request for design review for 7single-family residences on 7 lots in the Very Low Residential District (less than 2 dwelling units per acre) on 4.76 acres of land, located on the northwest corner of Wilson Avenue and Mayberry Avenue - APN: 1074-261-05. Related file: TT16274. Design Parameters: The 4.76 acre project site slopes gently from northeast to southwest at a gradient of approximately 6 percent. There are several fruit trees scattered throughout the site with a Eucalyptus W indrow on the north and east property lines. The windrow on the north property line will remain while the one on the east property line will be removed in order to allow for construction of the homes. There are three existing California Oak trees on site that are required to be preserved according to an arborist report prepared for the site. Surrounding land uses are single-family homes on all sides. The seven proposed single-family homes will be two-story and will range in size from 3,687 square feet to 5,525 square feet. Lot sizes range from 20,130 square feet to 30,444 square feet. A cul-de-sac street will be constructed off W ilson Avenue and will provide access to 4 lots. The three remaining lots will take access off Mayberry Avenue. Local feeder trails will be located in the rear of each lot and a Community trail will be constructed along the Wilson Avenue frontage. Individual corrals will be located in the rear yards of each lot with access to the local feeder trails via wooden gates. Six-foot high slump stone block walls will surround the site. The walls will contain capped river rock pilasters along the Wilson Avenue frontage • The Floor Plans of all homes will contain large kitchens, living rooms, dining rooms, family rooms, study rooms, pantries, and laundry rooms. Each home will have 4 and 5 bedrooms as well as 4 and 5 bathrooms. Some models will contain spiral staircases at the entry foyers. An attached three-car garage will be provided for each home. Each of the seven homes will have a distinct appearance and yet will use similar building materials. Building materials will include brick veneer, stucco, prefabricated window sills, prefabricated trim around the front doors, flat concrete file roofs, prefabricated balustrades on the second floor balconies, prefabricated columns, crown moldings, and decorative coynes. The south elevations of the homes on Lots 1, 4, and 5 will face Wilson Avenue. The use of 360-degree architecture has enhanced the visual appeal of these homes from this collector street. The developer is proposing block walls throughout the tract. 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: The three existing Coast Live Oak trees identified in arborist report as #21, #23, and #24 shall be preserved by relocation to the southeast corner of Lot 1, the southwest corner of Lot 4, and the southeast corner of Lot 5. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: • 1. Precision block is not an acceptable wall material along streets, such as Wilson Avenue, between homes (returns), or corner side yards. City policy requires walls to be decorative, such as split-face block, slump block, stucco, etc. Walls along Wilson Avenue further east are stucco. DRC COMMENTS DRC2003-00164-JUSTIN DING July 1, 2003 • Page 2 2. The decorative pilasters on the block wall that fronts on Wilson Avenue shall be covered with real river rock, not veneer. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the Design Review Committee recommend approval, subject to the suggestions above being made conditions of approval.

Related File: Tree Removal Permit DRC2002-00917. Design Parameters: This is a deceptively complex site with challenging constraints and opportunities that the applicant has been diligently working on with staff for months. The project is located within the Equestrian Rural Overlay District and a public Community Trail is planned along Archibald Avenue. The applicant is proposing to subdivide 13.6 acres of land into 23single-family lots that range in size from 20,140 square feet to 30,610 square feet. The site is located on the west side of Archibald Avenue, between Hillside Road and Wilson Avenue. The site falls 85 feet from Hillside Road to W ilson Avenue at approximately 8 percent grade and has three remnant Eucalyptus windrows and numerous random trees scattered throughout the property. The site is primarily vacant with the exception of the existing Toews Residence and barn, Potential Local Landmarks within the City. The site also has an empty water retention basin near Archibald Avenue and Hillside Road. The applicant is requesting a Landmark Designation for the home. In addition, the applicant is requesting a Landmark Alteration to move the home north to a 1 /2 acre lot at the southwest corner of Hillside Road and Archibald Avenue. The alteration would include the demolition of the existing barn and construction of a new barn at the new location. The applicant is not proposing any other restoration of the home. The site also has a vacated Edison substation near the corner of Archibald and Wilson Avenues. The site is surrounded by existing single-family developments to the east, west, and south. To the north of the site is the historic landmark Demens-Tolstoy residence and vacant land. The project site has 47 mature Pines, Sycamores, and Oak trees along Wilson and Archibald Avenues that were planted with the Edison substation. In addition there are three remnant Eucalyptus windrows and a number of random trees scattered throughout the property. The total number of trees on-site is approximately 213, of which 161 are heritage trees as defined by the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance. The applicant is requesting to remove the trees with replacement. 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: Trees -The developer should preserve-in-place or replace the mature Pine, Sycamore, and Oak trees along Wilson and Archibald Avenues surrounding the abandoned Edison substation. Under the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance, preservation-in-place is preferred; however, if infeasible, replacement shall be with the largest nursery grown specimens available as determined by the City Planner. Preserving these trees would require adjustment to the tract layout (and may reduce lot yield) and keeping the grade the same underneath their drip line (i.e., no cut or fill). The arborist to have less than 50 percent success beyond 10 years estimates relocation. 2. Cul-de-sac streets "A" and "B" should be shortened approximately 50-60 feet to maximize front yard area for Lots 4-5 and 1.3-14 DRC COMMENTS TT 16430-MANNING HOMES July t, 2003 • Page 2 Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. Fencing -The Committee has established a new policy to require block walls instead of wood fencing along interior side and rear property lines, or, in this case, along trail easements, for permanency, durability, and design consistency within new tracts. The City already required block walls between homes ("returns"), corner side yards, and project perimeter. 2. Lots 1-4 Fencing -The applicant is proposing open view fencing at the base of the rear yard slopes on Lots 1 through 4, behind the private equestrian easement; however, where corral pads are planned the applicant is proposing block walls. This design creates a solid and open combination wall along Wilson Avenue. There are examples along Wilson Avenue where private equestrian easements are visible to the public and have become an unsightly maintenance problem. Homeowner's seem reluctant to maintain that which they cannot see. It is staff's opinion that it is important to create a wall system that is both decorative and provides security and privacy for future homeowners without creating a "no mans land" for weeds and debris; therefore, a block wall is recommnended at the right-of-way line along Wilson Avenue. 3. All exterior retaining walls, freestanding walls, and open view fencing visible to the public shall be made of a decorative material with pilasters and cap. The pilasters shall have stone treatment and be a minimum of 30 inches by 30 inches in size. Final design of all walls shall • be to the satisfaction of the City Planner. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the project subject to the above-mention comments.

Related Files: Development Review DRC2003-00239 and Preliminary Review DRC2002-00707. Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration. Design Parameters: The project site is vacant land with no significant vegetation. The most significant feature is an open drainage channel that runs diagonally across the site from northeast to southwest. A railroad spur easement exists along the east and north property lines. The neighborhood is characterized by non-descript industrial buildings built pre-1977 under the County. To the east is the City Maintenance Yard. • The project includes three distinct building types: multi-tenant (Buildings 1 and 2), warehouse (Buildings 3, 4, 5) and industrial (Buildings 6 and 7). To meet the two primary building materials requirement, the applicant has designed the buildings with smooth concrete and sandblasted concrete. Entryways to the buildings are recessed, framed by the use of storefront glazing and mullions. All elevations exhibit 360-degree architecture, with horizontal and vertical reveals and accent squares providing relief and visual interest to the wall plane. A wide variety of accent colors that complement the primary colors will be used throughout the project. All screen walls within the project have architectural treatment and have been designed to match the corresponding building. 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: Buildings 3 and 4 should have additional sandblasted concrete in order to fulfill the requirement of having two primary building materials. Sandblasted concrete should be added in larger proportions to all office/entrances areas at all elevations for Building 3, and to all office/entrance areas at the northeast and southeast elevations of Building 4. Adding sandblasted concrete to the office areas/building entrances, instead of the proposed color "white solitude," will frame the building entrances and provide a formal entrance statement. Secondaryr Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: • 1. Use broad canopy trees to shade all parking areas instead of small Oleanders. Goal is to shade at least 50 percent of pavement at summer solstice. Oleanders should only be used as an accent tree. DRC COMMENTS DRC2003-00239 AND SUBTPM16167 -CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES July 1, 2003 • Page 2 Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. All roll-up doors shall be painted to match the building. 2. Undulating berms in the landscaped setback areas shall be provided to create visual interest and to screen parking areas. 3. Outdoor furniture shall be provided in the outdoor employee eating area. 4. Exterior downspouts shall be located only in the loading areas. Interior downspouts are permitted in all other areas. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee approve the project subject to the modifications as recommended above.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ANDDEVLEOPMENTREVIEW DRC2003-00337-CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES - A proposal to develop 387 apartment homes and associated recreation facilities on 15.41 acres of land in the Mixed Use Hi Staff Comments: These two projects were presented as a Planning Commission Workshop on May 14, 2003 (minutes of that meeting attached). The applicant has been working on revisions to the projects that not only respond to issues raised in the Workshop, but also to details identified in the staff completeness letter dated April 29, 2003. The applicant has requested this meeting with the Committee to discuss only the architectural detailing of the project as it relates to previous Workshop suggestions and the Victoria Arbors Design Guidelines. The applicant will be presenting illustrations of architectural and site details for the Committee's conceptual review. The entire project application will return to the Committee at a later date. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee review the architectural and other • site details and make appropriate recommendations for the applicant's consideration. Attachment Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Staff Planner: Debra Meier C~ ' Commissioner Stewart agreed that the quality of composition roofing material has been bettered over the years but she felt Mr. Trudeau's request for his house did not warrant support to change from file • to composition shingle. She noted that every house on his street is file and there is a strong community (neighborhood) identity with tile. She felt that changing his roof would not be compatible or consistent with the neighborhood. , Commissioners Macias and Fletcher agreed. Both also felt it might be necessary to address the Code to Garify when and if composition shingles would be acceptable for re-roofing. Chairman McNiel explained how historically the issue of roof materials evolved within the City. He recounted his own re-roofing decision and indicated his support for maintaining the direction of requiring file roofs on all new projects. He said he would not support Mr. Trudeau's request for his house because of the consistency issue with his immediate block. Mr. Buller thanked the Commission and Mr. Trudeau for their time and stated he will work with Mr. Trudeau on how he would like to proceed based on the discussion. ..... D.

Brad Buller, City Planner, explained the workshop format and intent and introduced the applicant. The applicant and their representatives included Chuck Buquet of Charles Joseph Associates, Brian HaII of Architects Orange, and Dan Milch of Fairfield Residential. Mr. Milch provided an overview of the project along with some highlights of the project description for the two projects. Debra Meier, Associate Planner, described to the Commissioners that the primary purpose for the workshop was to review the first multi-family project application that will be reviewed using the Victoria Arbors Master Plan guidelines for multi-family development. She stated the Design Review Committee had previously provided strong direction regarding the expectations for multi-family development in this portion of the community, including appropriate buffering between the multi- family housing project and the commercial properties on the south and the future medium density residential on the north; and that the guidelines make it clear that multi-family development should not have buildings that line up along the street, or are oriented in a rigid grid pattern, and that the site design should reflect acampus-like setting. She noted many of these desired elements were not reflected in the project application. She said staff would like direction from the Commission regarding the interpretation of these design guidelines as related to these specific projects. • Chairman McNeil requested comments from each Commissioner. PC Adjourned Minutes -3- May 14, 2003 Commissioner Macias stated that the applicant should revisit the site design to avoid the "barracks" . effect created by the building pattern and arrangement; and that it was important for the applicant to develop focal points within the project, particularly near primary project entries and from Day Creek Boulevard. Commissioner Fletcher asked the applicants to describe any similarities to the existing Fairfield projects of Ironwood and Fairway Palms located in the vicinity of Milliken Avenue and 6th Street. The applicant, Mr. Mitch and his architect Mr. HaII, responded to Mr. Fletcher's questions by stating that the Chambray product is similar to the Irownwood/Fairway Palms projects, while the Meritage project is a new design that has evolved from experience in the City, as well as the provisions of the Victoria Arbors Design Guidelines. Commissioner Stewart indicated that both projects need architectural focal points that make the entries much more prominent. She believed the architecture theme does not include all the required elements as outlined in the design guidelines and this would also include the details that are incorporated into the carports. She stated the courtyards should also be detailed in keepingwith the Tuscan winery theme of the Victoria Arbors. In addition, she thought the site plan also needs to be assessed for further compliance with the Master Plan design guidelines. Chairman McNeil reiterated the concern pertaining to the "soldering" effect ofthe buildings along Day Creek Boulevard. He also expressed concern that the site plan layout has a predominance of open parking, and that even the focus of project entries is open parking spaces. Chairman McNeil also agreed with Commissioner Stewart's comments pertaining to the architectural detailing, and suggested that additional design analysis was necessary to conform to the Design Guidelines. Mr. Buller provided some concluding remarks, and suggested that the applicant consider using 4- or • 5-story buildings in order to free up open space and said that staff would look Gosety at the parking needs analysis within the project. ..... PRE-APPLICATION REVI EW DRC2003-00427 - THARALDSON DEVELOPMENTCOMPANY - A request for the review of three separate four-story hotels buildings totaling 342 units, three office buildings totaling 15,000 square feet, a 6,000 square foot full-service day spa, a 6,000 square foot sit-down restaurant, and a 3,000 square foot general retail store on 14.75 acres of land in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 12) of the Development Code located on the north side of 4th Street between Mission Vista Drive, Pittsburgh Avenue, and Richmond Place. APN: 0229-263-48. Brad Buller, City Planner, introduced the item and explained the Pre-Application Review process. Laity Madson, Regional Project Manager, Tharaldson Development Company, introduced the project, indicating it was very preliminary in concept and that they were searching forfeedback from the Commission on how the property should be developed. He also discussed the design with respect to sensitivity to existing and surrounding area. He commented that he and his company were committed to designing an upscale hotel site project. Carol Plowman, Senior Vice President for Lee and Associates, identified potential businesses and uses that would occupy the remaining buildings along adjacent 4th Street. Mr. Madson provided a modified site design that re-oriented the hotel buildings to reflect a • "horseshoe" design rather than a "soldier' layout per staff recommendations. PC Adjourned Minutes -4- May 14, 2003 DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 8:45 p.m. Nancy Fong July 1, 2003 VARIANCE DRC2003-00517 - MICHAELS - A request to place two wall signs on the south elevation for an existing building (formerly Montgomery Ward) within the Terra Vista Town Center located at 10788 Foothill Boulevard - APN: 1077-422-26. Design Parameters: On December 17, 2002, the Design Review Committee approved the design modification to the formerly Montgomery Ward building, which included subdividing the space to accommodate multiple tenants. Home Goods has just moved in and the store is at the east side of the building. Michaels is completing its tenant improvements and the store is at the center space of the building. Pier 1 will be located in the westerly space. The attached Exhibit "A2" shows the design of the building with the possible signs. Tenants in this building are subject to the approved Uniform Sign Program for Terra Vista Town Center and the Sign Ordinance. Because Michaels would like to place two wall signs on the same elevation, which is not allowed by the Sign Ordinance, they have submitted a Variance application. Exhibit "C" is the written justification from the applicant. 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 proposed two signs consist of "Michaels" placed at the tower of the south elevation and "The Arts and Craft Store" placed at the east side of the south elevation (see Exhibit "B") "Michaels" is 36 inches in height with a sign area of 53.4 square feet. "The Arts and Crafts Store" is 24 inches in height with a sign area of 112.4 square feet. The total sign area of the two signs is 165.8 square feet. Comments: According to the Sign Ordinance and the approved Uniform Sign Program for Terra Vista Town Center, a business is allowed to have only one sign per elevation. Allowing Michaels to have two signs would set a precedent citywide and for all tenants in Terra Vista Town Center. Staff has suggested various options for their wall sign that meets the Sign Ordinance and the Uniform Sign Program, but the applicant has not accepted any of the options. The options are: a. One line of sign copy consisting of "Michaels" not exceeding 36 inches in sign height to be placed on the tower of the building entry. b. Two line sign copy (stacked) consisting of "Michaels" and "Arts and Crafts" not exceeding 36 inches in sign height to be placed on the tower of the building entry. The City has previously approved this wall sign for their existing store in Foothill Marketplace. c. One line of sign copy consisting of "Michaels, Arts and Crafts" not exceeding 36 inches in sign height to be placed on the building wall, east of the building Tower. Note that this side of the building wall contains planters that include tall Palm trees and other landscape materials where the placement of a sign here may not be too visible (see Exhibit "A2"). r1 U DRC COMMENTS DRC2003-00517 - MICHAELS July 1, 2003 . Page 2 2. Display of Extraneous Information and a Registered Trademark: The applicant stated that they needed to display "The Arts and Crafts Store" because it is a registered trademark. According to our City Attorney, the Sign Ordinance does not specifically allow trademarks; therefore, may preclude the display of a registered trademark. The City has authority to prohibit the use of a registered trademark. If the City is to allow the display of a trademark, then the design cannot be altered. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that Design Review Committee forward a recommendation of denial of the Variance request to the Planning Commission, and direct the applicant to work with staff to resolve the wall sign issue.
