The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines as a Class 1 (CEQA Guidelines Section 15303) exemption, which covers the maintenance of existing structures that involve little or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. Project Overview: The applicant proposes changing the color scheme of the Albertsons grocery store located at the northwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue. Albertsons is part of a multi-building commercial center that includes four other buildings. The center has been subdivided between various property owners. Albertsons is currently painted a slightly different color scheme than the other buildings in the center. The proposed colors are 'White Dove" for the major building color and "Valley Forge Brown"for the base color of the building and the trim color. The applicant does not propose repainting the Albertsons gas station at this time, which is physically separated from each other by a parking lot. Staff has informed the applicant that any modifications beyond the change in the color scheme will require the approval of a separate Minor Development Review and a Sign Permit. Staff Comments: Staff has visited the site and believes that the proposed colors are in keeping with the colors used on the other buildings in the center, which are painted in various shades of beige with darker trim colors. In the last year, Jack in the Box was repainted with much darker colors without receiving prior approval from the City. Staff feels that the proposed colors will make the Albertsons building stand out from the other buildings in the center without being discordant with them, which is appropriate for the major tenant in the center. Major Issues: 1. None Secondary Issues: 1. None Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee approve the proposed color change as presented. Design Review Committee Action: The project was approved as presented. Members Present: Wimberly, Granger Staff Planner: Tabe van der Zwaag DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 7:20 p.m. Steve Fowler June 1, 2010 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2009-00253 - VERIZON WIRELESS AND T-MOBILE -A request to install a 61- foot tall multi-carrier wireless facility designed as a clock tower with an equipment enclosure at an existing retail center in the Neighborhood Commercial District, located at the southeast corner of Base Line Road and Milliken Avenue -APN: 0227-182-17. Design Parameters: The applicant is proposing to construct a 61-foot tall multi-carrier wireless facility designed as a clock tower and an equipment enclosure at the southeast corner of Base Line Road and Milliken Avenue. The tower will be located within the Central Park Plaza Shopping Center at the northwest corner of the site. The clock tower will be just over 61 feet tall with the ability to accommodate (3) wireless carriers. Both Verizon and T-Mobile will be collocating onto this tower once it is built. The tower has incorporated elements from the shopping center into its design. The majority of the tower will be various colors of brown and tan. The roof will consist of the Mission Clay Tile roofing that is used on the existing buildings in the center. The tower is divided into three sections by trim accents. To break up the height, the lower two-thirds of the tower will be a darker shade than the top one-third of the tower. The face of the clock will be bordered by a trim detail for articulation. Also, recessed tile accents along with score lines will be installed on all four elevations of the tower. A decorative wrought iron fence has been proposed at the base of the tower to secure the interior of the tower. An equipment enclosure has been proposed between the tower and the existing bank building to the east. The enclosure will utilize the same materials as the tower but it will be constructed from CMU block and have a stucco finish to match the surrounding buildings. Also included on the elevations of the equipment enclosure, are some arches to tie in the elements of the center. The mansard roof will also have Mission Clay Tile roofing.
