DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:10 p.m. Kirt Coury September 19, 2000 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 00-09 — PATIEL — A request to construct a new 10,944 square foot Church with religious education school on 2.86 acres in the Low Residential District, located on the north side of Base Line Road between Lion Street and Hellman Avenue—APN: 202-242-09. Desiqn Parameters: The site is located on the north side of Base Line Road,approximately 330 feet west of Hellman Avenue. The site is generally flat with less than 5 percent slope north to south. The lot is currently occupied by a vacant single-family dwelling at the(front)southwest corner of the site. The remainder of the site is undeveloped with native trees and grasses present. Single-family dwellings surround the property on the north, east,and west. Also to the east is an existing church. Property immediately south of the site is developed with a retail commercial shopping center. Access to the site will be through an existing drive approach on Base Line Road. The project will consist of a 10,944 square foot church building with an office area,classrooms,and a prayer room. The building will be built on the 2.86 acres of land. The building will be self sufficient with independent access, parking, and utility services. Finish materials for the building exterior include archway treatments to create horizontal and vertical visual interest, reddish/brown split-face block, and a tile roof. The proposed windows will be arched and treated with mullions. The overall building height is proposed at 21 feet. The applicant proposes to develop the property in three phases. The first phase will consist of tenant improvements to the existing single-family dwelling to be converted to a worship/education facility. In addition, the front parking and driveway approach will be constructed as part of Phase one. Phase two will include the development of the main prayer hall building and a majority of the central parking lot area. Construction time for Phase two is estimated at approximately 2 years. Phase three of the proposed project will include the construction of the office and classroom portions of the building,the remaining parking lot area,and completion of the proposed landscaping. The time completion for this Phase is estimated at another 2 years (4 years from project approval). Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Major Issues: The primary design issue is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The Development Code states that "Materials, colors, scale, and prominence of buildings in adjacent land uses can be coordinated so there is a gradual transition from one land use to the another rather than a sharp and displeasing contrast. Purely aesthetic details that are "tacked"onto a building to cover up land use conflicts; however, will cause more harm than good. The architecture should consider compatibility with surrounding character, including harmonious building style, form, size, color, material, and roof line." The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: 1. Building Style/Form—Revise building style/form to a more residential character. The Prayer Hall, as a 2-story building, will be the most visually prominent structure and is located at the rear of the property surrounded by single-family homes. Introduce a combination of hip and gable roof forms and eliminate flat parapet lines. The long flat parapet wall along the north elevation is not consistent with the adjoining single-family homes. DRC COMMENTS CUP 00-09— PATIEL September 19, 2000 Page 2 2. Building Size-Staff believes that the size of the proposed 2-story Prayer Hall,which stands 21 feet high and has a footprint of 48 feet by 72 feet, is compatible with the area despite a larger mass than the small single family residences in the area. The Site Plan orientation places the Prayer Hall at the rear of the property with generous setbacks of 40 feet,45 feet, and 80 feet from the east, north and west property lines. 3. Color—Change building color to a light shade rather than brown. The existing house of the subject site, the church to the east and the shopping center across Base Line Road all feature white stucco. 4. Material - The proposed split face block material is not compatible because there are no other split face block buildings in the immediate area. Change primary exterior wall material to stucco consistent with the area. 5. Roof Line — Change mansard roof line to a combination of hip and gable roofs. The neighborhood consists primarily of structures built prior to incorporation, including single- family homes,a church,and the Lions Park Community Center East(former County library). Although there is a mix of architectural styles and materials, it is significant to note that there are no other mansard roofs in the area. 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 more trees and decorative landscaping in northern portion of property encircling the proposed building to help screen visual impact of building on surrounding neighbors. 2. Incorporate angled parking with a landscape planter for parking spaces 19-50 as was done for parking spaces 51-72. 3. Relocate trash enclosure further away from southeast corner of building.The proposed Site Plan creates an undesirable continuation of asphalt paving right up to this corner of building. Suggest moving over to the west side of site to be more convenient to the kitchen and auditorium/dining hall. 4. Continue walkway from east side of building to the front side to provide pedestrian access for east parking lot area. 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: Rich Macias, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Kirt Coury The Committee recommended the applicant redesign the project according to staff's identified "major" and "secondary" issues. The Committee expressed great concern relating to the site design, and the architectural compatibility with the surrounding residential neighborhood. It was recommended that the applicant work with staff regarding the mentioned issues, and that the item be brought back at a later date for Design Review Committee review.
