DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
7:10 p.m. Douglas Fenn September 5, 2000
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 16081 —TRIMARK—A residential
subdivision and design review of detailed site plan and elevations for 101 single family lots on
26.38 gross acres of land in the Low-Medium Residential District (4-8 dwelling units per acre)
located at the southwest corner of Day Creek Boulevard and Victoria Park Lane -APN: 227-091-
,09, 26, and 50.
Design Parameters: The site is vacant and relatively flat, with no significant stand of trees or other
vegetation. The site is bounded to the east by Day Creek Boulevard and single-family development
(under construction Kaufman and Broad Tract 15875)and to the south is railroad right-of-way(future
Pacific Electric Trail). To the west is Edison electric transmission utility corridor and to the north is
Victoria Park Lane (a linear park) and single-family development(under construction William Lyon
Tract 15871). Currently,the applicant depicts two lots,53 and 60 as a remainder parcel. These two
lots are along Day Creek Boulevard that is approximately 1320 feet long and roughly 110 wide. This
parcel is owned by William Lyon Homes, and the applicant is currently in negotiations with William
Lyon to purchase this strip of land. Once this strip is purchased the applicant will include it as a part
of the tract. The applicant proposes a greenbelt trail connection (Lot "A"), in the middle of the
southerly tract boundary, to the future Pacific Electric Trail.
The applicant, Trimark Homes, will develop the site under the Low-Medium Residential Basic
Development Standard of the Victoria Community Plan that also requires at least 20 percent of the
lots to have RV storage(12-foot minimum side yard). The proposed subdivision layout is consistent
with the pattern of development in the Victoria Planned Community. Five house plans are being
proposed, each having four different architectural styles: Spanish, Monterey, Traditional, and
Craftsman. All of the plans have their own unique style and are configured as follows:
Plan 1 is a single-story, 2,062 square feet, and features a 2-car front-on garage and a front porch.
The plan is a three bedroom with product. There is a Plan 1 X which offers a third car garage or a
den/opt flex space.
Plan 2 is a two-story, 2,457 square feet, and features a 3-car(two-tandem space)front-on garage
and recessed entryway. The plan is a three bedroom with a den option or a four-bedroom feature.
Plan 3 is a two-story, 2,521 square feet, and features a 3-car(two-tandem space) front-on garage
with a centralized and recess entryway. The plan also includes a three-bedroom plan with an option
for a fourth bedroom or den.
Plan 4 is a two-story, 2,765 square feet, and features a 3-car(two-tandem space) front-on garage
with a centralized and recess entryway. The plan also includes a four-bedroom plan with an option
for a fifth bedroom or den and an optional deck.
Plan 5 is a two-story, 2,898 square feet, and features a 3-car front-on and side-on garage with a
centralized and recess entryway. The four-bedroom plan also has an option of a den or additional
bedroom.
The side and rear elevations do not have quite the same level of architectural enhancement as the
fronts but they still represent an upgrade over existing surrounding homes by using window
surrounds, and second story balconies, which allow the developer to achieve the front
enhancements.
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. Special "enhanced architecture" should be given to second story on lots, which rear onto
Victoria Park Lane. Suggestions include pop-outs;decks/balconies,greater use of shutters,
pot shelves, sash windows (or equivalent), window mullions. Submit a street scene
elevation for Victoria Park Lane.
2. The intersection of Day Creek Boulevard is designated as a"Major Residential Entry"by the
Victoria Community Plan. The Planning Commission further defined this concept through
adopting the attached Day Creek Boulevard Scenic/Recreation Corridor Master Plan.
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 Plan 1 (a one-story floor plan) on Lot 34 in order to avoid a two story home on Lot 34
with only a 5-foot setback from rear yards of Lots 31 and 32. This awkward side yard to rear
yard relationship creates privacy issues and lack of light, air and open space.
2. Front yard landscaping should include, at a minimum, one 15-gallon size tree, one 5-gallon
size tree,seeded ground cover or lawn,and a permanent irrigation system to be installed by
the developer. This shall be in addition to the required street trees.
3. Submit a Site Plan labeling as"RV"those lots which will allow recreational vehicle storage in
an unobstructed side yard (12-foot minimum width) on the driveway side of the lot.
4. All walls visible from any public right-of-way shall be decorative and consistent with
established themes for Victoria Park Lane and Day Creek Boulevard. The Noise Study must
be revised to reflect the current subdivision layout, particularly the concept of leaving the
Remainder Parcel (Lots 53 and 60) undeveloped, and where sound attenuation walls are
necessary. The undeveloped Lots 53 and 60 will not protect the homes from traffic noise
along Day Creek Boulevard.
5. Provide special driveway treatment,and additional landscaping, to soften "concrete jungle"
appearance of cul-de-sacs with tight driveway spacing. Generally, there is not enough
space for planting street trees within parkway; hence trees must be planted a minimum of 4
feet behind sidewalk.
Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
1. Setback fences/retaining walls a minimum of 5 feet behind public sidewalk on corner side
yards in order to provide a planter strip.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval subject to the above comments.

The Committee reviewed the project and did not recommend approval. The Committee directed the
applicant to continue to work on resolving the major issues presented at the meeting (enhanced
architecture should be given to second story lots which rear onto Victoria Park Lane, Rail to Trails
corridor and along Day Creek Boulevard and that project must comply with"Major Residential Entry"
landscaping). The applicant agreed to address secondary issues, which included adding a single-
story Plan on Lot 76. The applicant should revise the project and return to Design Review
Committee on September 19, 2000, as a Consent Calendar item.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
' 7:30 p.m. Debra Meier September 5, 2000
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-46—LEWIS RETAIL CENTERS AND ON THE BORDER MEXICAN
CAFE - The proposed development of On The Border Mexican Cafe with 7,300 square feet, and
retail pad building S with 10,000 square feet, located at the northwest corner of Foothill Boulevard at
Aspen Avenue within the Terra Vista Town Center in the Community Commercial land use district of
the Terra Vista Community Plan - APN: 1077-421-82 and 83.
Design Parameters: The development of Pad S and On The Border Mexican Cafe will complete
Terra Vista Town Center. This application follows the recent approval of Sav-On,Target Expansion,
and Polar Ice, and the processing of the application for Building Pads G and H. Pad S and On the
Border are located on the west side of the Aspen Street entrance,west of Macaroni Grill and south
of Java City Bakery Cafe. The surrounding parking lot, landscaping, and perimeter street
improvements are existing.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion. Both buildings, Pad S and On The Border, will be expected to be consistent with the
various building materials and colors, including the random stacking of tiles, tile wainscot, plaster
patterns, and the specific design details of the cornices, corbels, etc. All street furniture, trash
enclosure design,, hardscape and landscaping shall also match and/or be consistent with the Terra
Vista Town Center Guidelines. On the Border,will offer different building accent stone and graphics
to establish their coordinated, yet unique identity.
1. On The Border Mexican Cafe - Elevations and Site Plan
North Elevation — The north elevation is the service entrance, for unloading and trash
dumpsters,facing the north parking area. Should be reoriented to open to the west(similar
to Chili's Restaurant). As proposed, delivery trucks and trash trucks would likely park on
main east-west drive and block access. Access to the service area should not be required
to cross over the pedestrian access to Pad S across the rear of this building.
The north elevation requires additional architectural detail. Potential solutions could include
breaking the horizontal rooflines in some manner,and provide a-trellis over the service area.
East/West Elevations — A depiction of the "illuminated graphic" must be provided to the
Committee for a determination of whether the graphics are art or signage. Use the
quatrefoil, typical of Terra Vista Town Center, rather than the circular accent piece (also
used on south elevation). Other On The Border restaurants feature mural art in these
locations. Public art is encouraged.
In addition,the light fixtures used over the window-awnings are not a typical element used in
Town Center. The only other goose-neck style fixtures are used at Chili's (east elevation).
Please provide more information, such as a manufacturer's cut-sheet, that will describe
these fixtures.
South Elevation —The entry trellis is presently shown as a cantilevered design, extending
approximately 61/z feet beyond the building face. Provide support columns with a rock base
(2-3 feet in height).
Bus Shelter—A shelter should be constructed for the existing bus stop on Foothill Boulevard
in front of On The Border Mexican Cafe. Shelter design should match the shelter in front of
Boston Market.

2. Pad S - Elevations and Site Plan
North Elevation — Additional trees/landscaping are necessary along the north face of the
building. Provide 3-4 Palm trees in tree wells,similar to the opposite side of Aspen Avenue.
West Elevation—The entry under the tower is for a 5,000 square feet suite, which could be
enhanced by changing the building material around the entry to give it more prominence at
the pedestrian level.
Site Plan — Provide a trash enclosure for Pad S. The nearest trash enclosure is located
south of Java City,200 feet from Pad S. Staff does not recommend that Pad S share the On
The Border's trash enclosure because restaurants can generate significantly larger volume
of trash the retailers.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee discuss the issues noted above,
along with any other issues as identified by the Committee, to determine appropriate conditions of
approval and/or modifications required, prior to Planning Commission consideration.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner: Debra Meier
On the Border
1. North Elevation/Service Entrance—the service entrance will be opened toward the west(a
man door access will be left along the north elevation). Access to the service entrance will
be provided through a drive approach opening that can also be used as a loading zone
space. The proposed modification was acceptable to the.Committee.
2. North Elevation/Architectural Detail — the architect proposed a modification td_ the `tile
roofline, increased the height of the faux-shutter panel, and added a wood trellis over the
service area, to provide greater variety to the north elevation. These modifications were
acceptable to the Committee.
3. The Committee determined that the backlit metal silhouettes depicted on the east and west
elevations were forms of public art, and will not be considered signage.
4. South Elevation/Entry trellis — the applicant proposed a supporting column of
concrete/stucco finish with a rock base. The Committee approved the solution proposed by
the architect.
5. The applicant will be required to construct a bus shelter,west of the drive entrance adjacent
to the bus bay. The shelter shall match existing shelters on Foothill Boulevard along the
Town Center frontage.
The Committee expressed their thanks to the architect for coming prepared with design solutions.
Pad S
1. Additional landscaping, consistent with the City requirement of one tree per 30 linear feet of
building frontage, is required along the north elevation.

2. Entry into 5,000 square foot tenant shall be modified by removing the proposed rock
wainscot, and using some alternative material(stone,tile,concrete,etc)to frame/accentuate
the entry. The details shall be presented to the satisfaction of staff,.prior to City Planner
approval.
3. A trash enclosure, matching other enclosures within Town Center, shall be placed in the
parking lot located north of the Pad S Building.
Any outstanding details will be coordinated with staff, prior to City Planner approval.
