DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:20 p.m. Doug Fenn January 4, 2000 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-59 — PANATONNI DEVELPMENT—The development of a 180,000 +/- square foot industrial building on 7.95 acres of land in General Industrial District (Subarea 10)of the Industrial Area Specific Plan located at the north west comer of 7th Street and Toronto Avenue -APN: 209-401-21. Design Parameters: The site is vacant parcel and contains no significant vegetation. The site slopes from north to south at an approximately 2 percent. The site is surrounded by industrial development to the north and across Toronto Avenue to the east, and across 7th Street to the south and to the west. The proposed building will be used for dual tenant warehouse/distribution activities. The office portion(s)of the building will front the public right-of-way of 7th Street. The loading area will front 7th Street but will be screened by a bermed decorative screen wall. The loading area was designed to face south because of the potential nuisance of the Santa Ana winds. The building design features a simple design with emphasis on the office portions with articulation, color variation, and use of sandblasted concrete with blue reflective colored glazing accents. The building orientation proposes truck loading docks facing 7th Street frontage. The Industrial Area Specific Plan requires trucks to be screened from public view. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: 1. Provide stronger vertical relief on the south face of and midway between the office entryway(s) of the building. 2. Provide sandblasted concrete banding at least 5-feet wide at the top of the building plane along the south elevation which faces 7th Street. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. The screen gates should be automated to ensure that the gate is open the minimum time necessary to allow trucks in and out of the loading area. 2. Downspouts on the south face of the building must be inside of the building. 3. The employee-plaza areas shall be relocated or designed to be accessible for employees and not adjacent to the truck loading area and vehicular parking. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be revised and return to Design Review Committee as a consent calendar item. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Doug Fenn The Committee recommended that along the south face of the building a couple of additional vertical elements be designed along the facade, and to return the revision to the Design Review Committee as a consent calendar item on January 18, 2000.

The site slopes from north to south at approximately 2 percent. There is an existing industrial building and rail spur to the west of the site. The GATX Building A is under construction to the east across Milliken Avenue. The building design incorporates the basic geometric and archway patterns that were established by the GATX buildings. The anticipated business activity involves large container truck loading which would occur within the building on the south side. The building will be visually prominent from Foothill Boulevard, especially while the land to the north remains vacant. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: 1. Provide the enhanced wall treatment design shown at the northeast corner of the building on the northwest corner as well given it's visual prominence relative to Foothill Boulevard. 2. Eliminate loading door on east elevation. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. Increase the amount of sandblasted concrete. Suggest providing sandblasted concrete in most or all of the square features along the parapets. 2. Provide enhanced entry/driveway designs per the Catellus Master Plan provisions including landscaping, specialized paving and hardscape features, and artwork. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. All roof and ground mounted equipment shall be fully screened from surrounding properties and streets. This may pose a challenge given that the site is visible from Foothill Boulevard which is several feet higher in elevation. 2. Screen walls shall not exceed an exposed height of 8 feet visible from surrounding properties of streets. Suggest sloping ground level up to screen walls to conceal height. 3. Provide at least one tree per 30 linear feet of building wall exposed to public view plus one tree per 30 linear feet of site perimeter, and one tree per 3 parking spaces to provide shade. This is a minimum landscaping requirement. Additional trees to enhance the main entry points and complement the building architecture shall be provided. 4. Provide an employee out door eating area including seating and shade. The design of the outdoor eating area features shall match that established by the GATX project/Catellus Master Plan. DRC COMMENTS DR 99-60— CARPENTER'S TECHNOLOGY January 4, 2000 Page 2 Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee recommend approval subject to the above comments. Attachments Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Brent Le Count The Committee reviewed the project and requested that the project be brought back for further review in light of the following: 1. The Committee is not opposed to locating the at-grade loading door on the east (Milliken Avenue)elevation so long as it can be demonstrated that there will not be excessive outdoor activity near the door and that a trellis or other overhead type of structure be built in front of the door to minimize it's appearance. The door shall also be painted to match the adjacent building wall. 2. The Committee is in favor of providing no landscaping along the west side of the building to accommodate future rail service to the building and to minimize maintenance burden. 3. The applicant agreed to the above items as well as the other items identified by staff. Driveway Entrances Primary driveway entrances into individual sites will incorporate the use of enhanced landscaping, special paving and hardscape features that identify primary entrances into a site. smEEr�EFS: Lk=U=tmrsrmcr�t pnks,ura• Americs4 Sweet Qoan-24•soot AR@TO LoT 7=.

Subarea 7 Art work or enhanced architectural features on buildings are desirable at major entry drives leading into sites. Stree fight- - ay Light fixtures and their structural support will be architecturally compatible with the surrounding buildings. Free-standing light standards will not exceed 25 feet, or the height of the shortest on-site building. All lighting fixtures along Foothill Boulevard will be consistent and in keeping with the Foothill Boulevard design theme. Hardscape features should be consistent throughout the Corporate Park and designed to be compatible with building architectural features.
