DEVELOPMENT DESIGN REVIEW DRC2009-00880 - LEWIS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION — A
proposal to remodel the exterior of Buildings A through K (Buildings L and M are not-a-part) and install
new landscaping at an existing shopping center in the Neighborhood Commercial (NC) District, Terra
Vista Community Plan (TVCP), located at the northeast corner of Haven Avenue and Base Line Road -
APN: 1076-481-25 through 35. Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from CEQA
review and qualifies as a Class 1 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 - Existing
Facilities.
Design Parameters: The project site is a parcel of approximately 556,159 square feet (12.77 acres) that
is approximately 884 feet (east to west) by approximately 884 feet (north to south). The site is developed
with a shopping center comprised of 13 buildings with a combined floor area of about 132,000 square
feet (Exhibit A). Of the 13 buildings, 7 of them (Buildings A through G) are contiguous to each other and
form a continuous block that is generally located at the northeast corner of the site. The other 5 buildings
are single-tenant pad buildings (J, L, and M) or multi-tenant buildings (H, K, and N), which are located
along either the Base Line Road or Haven Avenue street frontage along the south and west sides of the
site.
All buildings are owned by the applicant except Buildings L and M, which are owned by the operators of
Coco's Restaurant and Burger King, respectively. The property is surrounded on all sides by
single-family residential development. The zoning of the property is Neighborhood Commercial (NC)
District, Terra Vista Community Plan. The zoning of the properties to the south is Medium and
Low-Medium (LM) Residential District, Terra/Vista Community Plan. The zoning of the properties to the
west is Low (L) Residential District.
The applicant proposes to significantly renovate the exterior elevations of Buildings A through K. The
renovations consist of a new color scheme, adding a new decorative stone veneer at various locations,
such as the tower elements and the columns at major entrances, which are currently finished with stucco
(Exhibit B); redesigning the parapets and associated cornices so that they are straight instead of
curvilinear (Exhibit C); removing the exposed rafter tails (Exhibit D); and adding new trim and fabric
awnings. The basic physical characteristics of each building will remain unchanged; there will be no
increase in the height or floor area of the buildings or the addition or removal of colonnades, tower
elements, and other significant features. As Buildings L (Coco's Restaurant) and M (Burger King) are
under separate ownership, the renovations to those buildings will be limited to the new color scheme only
to match the other buildings. Also included in the proposal, is the planting of new water efficient
landscaping throughout the site and the installation of new hardscape and plaza areas. Building N
(Blockbuster and others) will be demolished to allow for the construction of a new gas station canopy
during a second phase of the revisions that the applicant plans for the center. This second phase will be
submitted under a separate application and forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and action
at a later date.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion.
Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this
project.
1. The applicant is removing from the south elevation of Building B (formerly Long's Drug) and the
west elevation of Building F (Ralph's Market) a Mission-inspired, decorative tile/planter features
(see Exhibit E) and replacing them with bare stucco. In addition, reconstruction of the existing
DRC AGENDA
February 2, 2010
Page 2 •
"Spanish" parapet design elements to a new horizontal configuration is proposed. In staff's opinion,
it does not appear to be necessary or an architectural enhancement to remove such features. Staff
suggests keeping these features in-place, or if they cannot remain, installing similar decorative
features as replacements that will further complement the proposed exterior changes.
2. The applicant is removing decorative quatrefoils that are located at the tower elements and some of
the primary entrances to each building (Exhibit F). In place of the quatrefoils, the applicant
proposes signs. Staff recognizes the need for signs to identify tenants. However, staff suggests
incorporating smaller quatrefoils, and/or installing them elsewhere or proposing a new, compatible
decorative element instead of removing them altogether.
3. The Landscape Plan proposes the removal of existing mature trees, planter areas, shrubs, turf and .
seat walls. For example, the applicant is proposing to remove all existing Sycamore Trees along
the primary east to west drive aisle off Haven Avenue and the north to south drive aisle off
Base Line Road that leads to Ralph's Market and replace with Mexican Fan Palms. Also, the
planter area in front of Ralph's Market will be demolished and replaced with pots with shrubs at the
columns, and tables with umbrellas will be installed at select locations. The Committee should
review the proposed hardscape improvements, tree and plant removals and the proposed plant
palette changes and provide comment as needed.
4. The design of the trash enclosures is not consistent with the current City standard which includes
roll-up doors, overhead trellis, and separate entrance for people. The Committee may wish to
consider upgrading the enclosures most visible to the public, i.e. those in the parking lot area
(Exhibit G).
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues.
1. All doors (roll-up, dock doors, emergency access) shall be painted to match the color of the
adjacent wall.
2. All accessory structures, such as the trash enclosures shall, at a minimum, be painted to match the
new color scheme of the shopping center.
3. An application to amend the existing Uniform Sign Program (USP #64) and fee shall be submitted
prior to the issuance of permits for the exterior reconstruction/renovation of the buildings.
4. The proposed removal of any trees shall require the submittal of a Tree Removal Permit application
and fee prior to removal of the trees. If the option exists to preserve/protect in-place existing trees,
that alternative shall be pursued first.
Staff Recommendation: The proposed architectural, landscape, and hardscape demolition and
landscape plant palette changes will substantially alter the existing built environment and cumulatively
create a dramatically different look and visual impact for the established, Mission-inspired neighborhood
center. Staff recommends that the Committee review the proposed exterior changes in light of the Major
Issues outlined and provide input and direction. With the Major Issues addressed to the satisfaction of
the Committee, staff recommends that the project be approved and forwarded to the Planning
Commission for review and action.
