DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
5:30 p.m. Debra Meier October 5, 1999
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 16001 AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
99-19-LEWIS APARTMENT COMMUNITIES-A proposed subdivision of ten numbered lots and four
lettered lots on 23.5 acres of land for condominium purposes; and the design review of 360 units in
the Medium-High Residential (14-24 dwelling units per acre); within the Terra Vista Community Plan
generally bounded by Elm and Spruce Avenues and Church Street, and the future La Mission Park
- APN: 1077-421-040.
Background: Tentative Tract 16001 is located in the southwest quadrant of Terra Vista. Existing
multi-family residential and commercial development is predominant throughout this quadrant.
Tentative Tract 13717 was previously approved on this site in 1990 and was never recorded.
However, Tentative Tract 13717 modified the Terra Vista Community Plan land use from Medium (8-
14 dwelling units per acre) to the current Medium-High (14-24 dwelling units per acre) residential
density.
Project Summary: Tentative Tract 16001, titled "Saint Moritz," is described by the applicant as "an
up-scale amenity-packed, luxuriously appointed community catering to the Renter by Choice." The
proposed project features"European-theme"architecture with attached and detached garages, and
a variety of recreational and open space amenities including pools and spas, barbecue nodes,tot lots,
fitness and recreation center, and out door fireplace. The project consists of 360 units including
246 two-bedroom plans and 114 three-bedroom plans.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
1. Architecture theme: The applicants' project description describes the architecture as a
"European-theme," which is not expressed on the elevations. Additional decorative
architectural elements for all elevations should be used to carry out the intended theme.
2. Access for pedestrians is limited to the three project entries. It may be beneficial to provide
pedestrian access near street intersections,especially at Spruce and Elm Avenues,to facilitate
access to Ruth Musser Middle School and Spruce Avenue park; directly into La Mission Park;
and at elm Avenue and church Street for access to the commercial development and
restaurants; in order to discourage "fence-hopping."
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Vary the garage door pattern in pairs for additional variety.
2. Move the sidewalk that traverses through the open turf area (located near the primary pool)
to take full advantage of the open play that is provided by this open space.
3. Mitigation measures stemming from traffic noise includes 5-foot high sound barrier,consisting
of wood or plexi-glass. This is recommended along the second floor balconies for apartment
units proposed that would be impacted by 60 dBA Ldn to reduce traffic noise levels in the
outdoor activity area below, including all apartment units which face Church Street, Elm and
Spruce Avenues.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee focus on the architectural theme,
resolve the minor items noted above, and refer the project to Planning Commission for approval.

Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Nancy Fong, John Mannerino, Pam Stewart
Staff Planner: Debra Meier
The applicant corrected the information provided in their original application by describing that the
architectural theme is"Traditional American"rather than"European." The Traditional style emphasis
such elements as simple architectural forms,flat concrete,roof tile,wood shutters,and roof line relief.
The restroom/pool equipment building has been revised,but is still a work-in-progress. The applicant
is trying to achieve the right proportion of focus and scale for the small structure.
The Committee commented that regardless of the chosen architectural style, the project looks like a
"standard apartment project"and does not reflect the appearance of luxury apartments. The leasing
and recreation building need to be enhanced to attract the attention of prospective tenants. The
Committee suggested to the applicant's to consider the following:
1. What will attract a potential tenant to this project as a luxury apartment, in comparison to other
project in the area?
The Committee requested that the applicant return to Design Review Committee on October 19, 1999
for review of modifications to architectural elements.
DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
6:00 p.m. Sal Salazar October 5, 1999
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 98-31 -ARCHEION(CENTER BUSINESS PARK)-A request to construct
two industrial buildings 46,500 square feet and 47,700 square feet in size, respectively. The site is
approximately 5.23 acres in size and is located in the General Industrial District (Subarea 5) of the
Industrial Area Specific Plan. The property is located at the northeast corner of 7th and Center Streets
-APN: 209-251-10.
Background: The project was originally reviewed by the Design Review Committee on July 6, 1999.
The developer was directed to work and address all design issues before rescheduling for Design
Review Committee. The developer met on one occasion with staff to address these design issues.
Attached is the July 6, 1999 Design Review Committee comments. The developer has addressed the
design issues satisfactorily.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Maior Issues: The following design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this
project:
1. Building Elevations. The proposed architectural feature provides some movement on the
building elevations, however, is this design feature enough to address the Committee's design
concern?
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be revised and return to Design Review
Committee, as a consent item, prior to scheduling for Planning Commission.

Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: John Mannerino, Pam Stewart, Nancy Fong
Staff Planner: Sal Salazar
The Committee recommended approval of the architectural feature. The modification requires the
developer to extend the height of the fake column to the top of the building.
DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
5:30 p.m. Sal Salazar July 6, 1999
` DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-31 - ARCHEION (CENTER BUSINESS PARK) - A request to
construct two industrial buildings 45,600 square feet and 47,700 square feet in size, respectively.
The site is approximately 5.23 acres in size and is located in the General Industrial District(Subarea
5) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan. The property is located at the northeast corner of 7th and
Center Streets -APN: 209-251-10.
Design Parameters: The site is currently vacant and is relatively flat with a gentle north to south
slope. The developer is proposing to construct two spec buildings for warehouse and incidental
office use. Access to the site will be provided via two driveways along 7th Street (including one
emergency access driveway adjacent to the railroad tracks), and two driveways along Center
Street. The northern most driveway along Center street is a shared driveway.
The two industrial buildings, as proposed,will be separated into two four separate building sections
(Buildings A, B, C, and D). The main entrance to each building section is accentuated by a
combination of landscaping, smooth, and colored concrete. The buildings are well designed,
however, the design could still be improved by the incorporating staffs recommendations.
At the time the report was being prepared, staff informed the developer of all the design issues. The
developer indicated that a revised plan, addressing all of the discussed design issues, would be
submitted before the Design Review Committee meeting.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Maior Issues: The following design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this
project:
1. Architecture: Planning Commission policy requires too primary exterior materials. The
amount of sandblasted concrete is token and doesn't meet the policy intent. The majority
of office portions of both buildings should be sandblasted concrete to create a stronger
architectural statement.
2. Building Elevations. The developer shall enhance the building elevations by connecting the
fake sandblasted concrete columns with a wrapped around sandblasted band on the upper
portion of the buildings.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Landscaping adiacent to the buildings. The developer shall provide a landscape planter
along the north side of Buildings A and B. The landscape planter shall be of sufficient width
to permit the planting of landscaping. Additionally, the developer shall be required to
increase the width of the landscape planter on the south side of Buildings C and D. The
landscape planter shall be increase in width from 5.5 feet to 7.5 feet.
2. Main entry. The developer shall be required to provide special landscape (specimen trees,
accent trees, etc) treatment at the main entry points. Additionally, all landscape fingers at
the main entry shall have a minimum width of 10 feet.
3. Stamped Concrete at main entry. The developer shall be required to install stamped
concrete at the entrance of all driveways. This includes the shared driveway along Center
Street. Additionally, the stamped concrete area shall have a minimum depth of 20 feet.

4. Shared driveway. The developer shall be required to protect the building on the north side
of the shared driveway with a sidewalk or a landscape planter. The submitted plans do not
-show the building on the north side. The developer, however, will provide revised plans
before the Design Review Committee meeting, that should address this issue.
5. Proposed retaining wall. If a retaining wall is needed on the east side of buildings C and D
it shall be decorative and shall compliment the architecture and style of the industrial
buildings. The height of the retaining wall shall comply with the City's Development
Standards.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the project be revised and return to Design Review Committee, prior to
scheduling for Planning Commission.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Pam Stewart, John Mannerino, Nancy Fong
Staff Planner: Sal Salazar
The Committee recommended the developer to address all issues before rescheduling this item for
Design Review Committee. Additionally, the Committee recommended developer to provide
additional architecturally movement on all elevations especially at the fake column location.
DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
6:30 p.m. Rudy Zeledon October 5, 1999
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-28 -CLIFFORD -A request
to construct a 4,500 square foot office building on 0.61 acres of land within the Brunswick\Deer Creek
Village Center in the General Commercial District, located on the west side of Haven Avenue, north
of Town Center Drive-APN: 1077-401-32. Related Files: Variance 99-09,Tree Removal Permit 99-
26, and Conditional Use Permit 85-37.
Background and Design Parameters: The project site is located within the Brunswick\Deer Creek
Village Center. It is the last undeveloped parcel of the approved Master Plan, under Conditional Use
Permit 85-37, and as shown in Exhibit"A." In 1987, a Development Review 87-57 was approved by
the Planning Commission for a triangular shaped retail building and as shown in Exhibit"B." The site
is improved with curb, gutter and meandering sidewalk, and contains 10 mature Eucalyptus trees.
Accompanying this application is a Variance request to reduce the building setback on Haven Avenue
from the required 45 to 41 feet.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide ant outline for Committee
discussion:
Major Issues: The following broad issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this
project:
1. In an effort to provide compatibility to the design of the existing center, the applicant has
incorporated architectural elements such as standing seam metal roof, 4-inch deep recessed
arches, and tile insets to its building facade. However, the overall building design does not
achieve the same level of the proper proportion in building mass, the pattern of modulation in
the roof line, and the rhythm of openings, windows, storefronts, as the buildings in the
shopping center. Regardless of one-story or two-story building,the design should provide the
same level of building mass proportion and visual balance.
2. The northwest elevation (facing Deer Creek Channel) is not consistent with the architectural
theme of the center. Provide building form and architectural treatment to this side of the
building plane.
3. Eliminate the fan shape portion of the second story windows,on the south and east elevations.
Provide the 4-inch recess for the windows similar to the recessed arch element.
4. Provide the same depth of recess (2 inches)for the rectangular elements above store fronts
consistent with the center.
5. Revise parking area to allow for efficient circulation flow by eliminating the"dead-end"area.
6. Provide a 5-foot wide (inside dimension) landscape strip along the south elevation.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Eliminate the 5-foot retaining wall for the row of parking spaces along Haven Avenue streets
cape.
2. The colors, materials such as but not limited to stucco, roof material, ceramic tile insets, shall
match the center.
DRC COMMENTS

3. The proposed trash enclosure location would require trash trucks to back up, which would
cause on-site traffic conflict.
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends that the project be revised per the above comments
and be brought back for further review.

The Committee did not approve the project, and directed the applicant to work closely with staff to
resolve the major and secondary issues presented. In addition, the Committee recommended the
applicant simplify the design to achieve a better architectural consistency with the Center.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
7:00 p.m. Rebecca Van Buren October 5, 1999
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-32 - SUNRISE ASSISTED LIVING: The proposed development of
a 88-bed, 59 suite, senior assisted living facility on 2.6 acres of land in the Office Professional
District, located at 9515 and 9519 Base Line Road -APN: 208-541-01, 208-432-017, and 208-432-
018. Related File: Pre-Application Review 98-13.
Background: The Design Review Committee reviewed the project on August 31, 1999. At that time,
the exterior walls were predominantly wood shingle, an attractive element that requires diligent
maintenance to retain its beauty and integrity over the years. The Committee expressed concern
regarding the climate, wind, and ongoing maintenance associated with wood shingles on large wall
areas. The Committee discussed alternative architectural styles, including Mediterranean, Spanish
Revival,Craftsman with similar but limited shingle applications,and Craftsman with siding,river rock,
and shingles. The Committee noted that nearby Amethyst Avenue is part of the historical district of
Alta Loma. The site is located where Amethyst Avenue terminates at Base Line Road and
essentially acts as an end point of the historical district. The Committee encouraged the applicant
to explore an architectural style, which would be in keeping with the nearby historical buildings and
use siding, river rock, and a limited application of wood shingles.
The applicant has revised plans in accordance with the Committee's direction. The predominant
exterior wall covering is wood siding, with limited shingle in accent areas, and a concrete tile roof.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Provide river rock wainscot for all sides of the building.
2. Provide heavy duty lumber size for architectural elements such as but not limited to exposed
rafter tails,corbels,wood beams,columns,wood railings,wood trim around the windows,etc.
3. Change the proposed one by redwood lattice to a heavier size.
4. Provide additional siding to building walls at the south, north, and east elevations.
5. Add slump block enclosure around emergency generator and transformer.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the Design Review Committee approve the project
subject to the modifications as recommended above.
Attachment

C ) DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-32-SUNRISE ASSISTED LIVING: The proposed development of
a 88-bed, 59 suite, senior assisted living facility on 2.6 acres of land in the Office Professional
District,located at 9515 and 9519 Base Line Road-APN: 208-541-01,208-432-017,and 208-432-
018. Related File: Pre-Application Review 98-13.
Background: Sunrise Assisted Living presented preliminary concepts of an assisted living facility
on the eastern 1.5 acres of the site in a Pre-Application Review on January 27, 1999. Since that
time, Sunrise has acquired two additional parcels to create a larger site area. The additional
acreage allows the building to be rotated so its main entrance faces Base Line Road and provides
significantly better circulation. Sunrise conducted a neighborhood meeting on July 27, 1999 at the
Lions Center, which was attended by most adjoining residential property owners.
Design Parameters: The subject site is 2.6 acres of vacant land,surrounded to the east and south
by residential dwellings in residential districts. To the west is an existing residence in the Office
Professional District. Sunrise is providing an access easement so that the existing residence to
the west will access Base Line Road through the subject site at the traffic signal at Amethyst Street.
The facility has been designed to comply with height restrictions adjoining residential districts and
has provided landscaping, which is sensitive to the residential neighborhood.
The southerly one-half acre of the site, called out as a meadow on the Landscape Plan is not
planned for development at this time. This area may be transferred to the westerly property owner
in conjunction with a future office professional use, developed as a future expansion area for the
assisted living facility, or possibly incorporated into a residential infill project. All future
opportunities are dependent upon various zoning, general plan and property consolidation
considerations.
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. Since the Pre-Application Review, during which the Planning Commission had no
comments on the architecture,the applicant has completely changed the architectural style
from Mediterranean (stucco,with Spanish the roof)to Craftsman (wood shingle siding with
asphalt shingle roof). The proposed roof material is asphalt shingle, which is consistent
with the Craftsman architectural style of the building. The Planning Commission policy is
to require the roof material; however, the Commission has allowed a heavy"architectural"
asphalt shingle on a case-by-case basis.
2. The exterior walls are proposed to be wood shingle, an attractive element that requires
diligent maintenance to retain its beauty and integrity over the years. Alternate materials,
which are suited to the and climate, may be explored to create a similar architectural effect
(siding).
3. Replace plaster wall finish on south elevation with wood shingle siding.
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 wood shingle siding within gable at main entry on north elevation.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the Design Review Committee approve the project,

The Committee expressed concern regarding the climate, wind, and ongoing maintenance
associated with wood shingles on large wall areas. The Committee stated they would not support
asphalt shingles on a building of this scale and prominence. The Committee discussed alternative
architectural styles, including Mediterranean, Spanish Revival, Craftsman with similar but limited
shingle applications, and Craftsman with siding, river rock, and shingles. The Committee noted
that nearby Amethyst Avenue is part of historical district of Alta Loma. The site is located where
Amethyst Avenue terminates at Base Line Road and essentially acts as an end point of the

would be in keeping with the nearby historical buildings and use siding, river rock, and a limited
application of wood shingles. The Committee referenced the design of Fire Station No. 3 on
Banyan Avenue as an example of a Craftsman style using durable and appropriate materials. The
applicant requested a continuance to explore suggested architectural styles.

HOUSING-The Design Review of building elevations and detailed site plan for Tentative Tract Map
15993 consisting of 94 single family lots on 18 acres of land in the Low-Medium Residential District
(4-8 dwelling units per acre)of the Victoria Community Plan,located on the northwest corner of Base
Line Road and Day Creek Boulevard-APN: 227-091-18 through 21. Related Files: Tentative Tract
15993, General Plan Amendment 98-04,and Victoria Community Plan Amendment 98-04 approved
by the City Council in November 1998.
Design Parameters: The site is owned by the City's Redevelopment Agency and is under contract
to be sold to the applicant. It is vacant except for some scrub vegetation, has a natural slope of
approximately 2 to 5 percent from north to south, and contains one mature California Oak tree in
the middle of the site. The Developer will be required to submit an arborist report with
recommendations to ensure the health and the preservation the tree before any development on the
property.
The developer proposed to develop the site under the Innovative Development Standards allowed
in the Victoria Community Plan. The lots range in size from 5,002 to 9,586 square feet with an
average lot size of 5,619 square feet. Three two-story house plans are being proposed,each having
three different elevation styles. Plans 1 and 3 have front-on garages while Plan 2 has side-on
garages with the option for a second front-on garage. Lots that side or rear on to Base Line Road
and Day Creek Boulevard are proposed to have enhanced rear and side elevations to include
second-story pop-outs (option for 5-foot deck), wood shutters, and corbel detail to second story
windows.
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:
1. The Trails Advisory Committee, at its meeting of August 11, 1999, recommended that the
Design Review Committee consider a lettered lot for the preservation of the existing Oak tree
rather than a proposed 50-foot easement on Lot 33. The applicant proposed the 50-foot
easement because Engineering staff recommended it. According to Engineering staff, the
reason for the proposed easement versus a lettered lot is that at some future time when the
Oak tree ever becomes deceased or dying, the City would be able to vacate and remove the
easement. However,the Trail Advisory Committee felt that creating a lettered Lot would allow
a green-belt trail connection to Streets "E"and "C." The applicant supports both tree
preservation proposals; therefore, the Design Review Committee should provide direction to
staff.

Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Continue wainscot siding treatment, on all proposed house plan elevations, around to side
elevations up to interior return walls.
2. Provide corbel detail to both second floor windows, on house Plans 1 and 2.
3. All proposed stucco trim surround on windows, shall be of high density form.
4. Provide additional detail to the eaves, on all house plans,to include double wood fascia trim.
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends the Design Review Committee approve the project.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Nancy Fong
Staff Planner: Rudy Zeledon
The Committee recommended approval of the project subject to the following conditions:
1. Preservation of the existing Oak tree through the incorporation of lettered lot, rather than
through the proposed 50 foot easement. A green-belt trail or paseo connection shall be
created to connect Streets"E"and"C,"so that the residence of the subdivision would be able
to enjoy the Oak tree. The green-belt or paseo connection shall be subject to City Planner
approval.
2. Continue wainscot siding treatment, on Plans 1 C and 2C, around to side elevations up to
interior return walls or logical ending.
3. Provide corbel detail to both second floor windows, on rear enhanced elevations on Plans
1 and 2.
4. All proposed stucco trim surround on windows, shall be of high density foam.
5. Provide additional detail to the eaves,on Plans 1 A and 1 B,to include double wood fascia trim
(in areas where gutters are not proposed).

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
8:00 p.m. Nancy Fong/Laura Bonaccorsi October 5, 1999
DAY CREEK BOULEVARD SCENIC/RECREATION CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN: A review of the
conceptual design of the future Day Creek Boulevard.
Background: In April of 1998, the land use for the surplus Utility Corridor at the east side of the
future Day Creek Boulevard was changed from Utility Corridor to the same land use designations
as the existing easterly adjacent land uses,and as shown in Exhibit"A." An environmental mitigation
for the change was to expand the parkway at the east side of the street from 7 to 25 feet and to
include a multi-purpose trail. A condition of approval for the land use amendments was to hire a
consultant to design the special parkway,the landscape edge treatment,the community entries,the
perimeter wall and the plant palette, etc., to be paid for by the developer, and to be reviewed and
approved by Planning Commission. Subsequently,the developer,K&B,formerly Lewis Homes,had
processed and received approval of Tentative Tract Map 15785 before staff had commissioned a
consultant to prepare the design. At the west side of Day Creek Boulevard, William Lyon Homes
also processed and received approval of Tentative Tract Map 15871. Appropriate conditions of
approval to ensure that the parkway will be developed according to the approved master plan for Day
Creek Boulevard were placed for both projects. During the time that our consultant was designing
the master plan, staff has been flexible in allowing both developers to continue working on the
development. The draft design is now complete and ready for Design Review Committee review and
comments before forwarding it to the Planning Commission for review and action. The developers
on both sides of Day Creek Boulevard have been informed of the design concept and are invited to
attend the meeting.
Day Creek Boulevard Design Concept: The street design stretches from future Route 210/30 south
and ends at the Adult Sports Complex. Because Day Creek Boulevard leads to the commercial hub
of the City, the street is designed to have a more urban feel. The design concepts will ultimately
serve as a master plan guideline and/or specifications for Day Creek Boulevard.
1. Establish Regional Gateways and Community Entries. The identified entries are already
listed as such within the Victoria Community Plan except for the Regional Gateway at Day
Creek Boulevard and Highland Avenue, which is a new one.
2. Establish Plant Palette: It consisted of double rows of Mexican Fan Palms on both sides of
the street with large canopy trees(Bradford Pear)in between the palms and along the median
island, accent trees at community entries, appropriate shrubs massing, and ground cover
accented with river rock bands. Both the Palm trees and the large Bradford Pear trees are
arranged in a formal pattern for the urban feel similar to Euclid Avenue in the City of Upland.
3. Establish a vocabulary of street furniture such as benches, bollards, seat walls, hard scape,
light fixtures, street light banners, provision for display of art, bus shelters, trellises, etc., to
unify the street scape.
4. Establish a theme wall along the residentially zoned sections of the street.
5. Consideration of a provision to allow"adopt a sidewalk" plan for hard scape art.
Staff and the consultant will present the design concept with full size colored plans at the meeting.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee review the concept and provide
comments.

FIRE STATION NO.4(CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 89-23)REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY(RDA)-
The review of minor architectural changes to the fire vehicle maintenance building, located at the
south west corner of Milliken Avenue and Jersey Boulevard.
Background: The Planning Commission approved the Fire Station Master Plan in 1989. In January
of 1992, the Master Plan was modified to include a temporary heliport and the conceptual building
design for the maintenance/training building and a training tower, as shown in the attachment. To
date, only the fire station and the carport facility were built. The fire vehicular maintenance/training
building and the training tower are not. RDA is now ready to fund the construction of the
maintenance building,which does not include the training facility portion. Because the brick material
is unavailable to match the existing building and the cost for the construction is too high, RDA is
requesting a change in the building material and offers several options for design solutions to reduce
the construction cost of the maintenance building. Plans will be available at the meeting for
Committee's review.
