MINOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2010-00989 - BJ'S RESTAURANT — DON GARDNER - A request to construct a 700 square foot outdoor patio eating area at an existing restaurant within the Industrial Park (IP) District, (Subarea 12), located at 11520 4th Street—APN: 0229-263-90. Related file: DRC2010-00986. This project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California • Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to state CEQA guidelines Section 15303 (Class 3 Exemption - Construction of New Structures). Design Parameters: The applicant is proposing to construct a 700 square foot outdoor patio eating area with a fire pit at an existing 7,600 square foot BJ's Restaurant & Brew house at the northwest corner of 4th Street and Pittsburgh Avenue within the Industrial Park (IP) District, (Subarea 12). Background: The original approval of the restaurant was on September 8, 2004, for Conditional Use Permit DRC2004-00243, which was for the development of the 7,600 square foot restaurant on a 2-acre parcel. This approval was for the development of the building and the sale of alcoholic beverages on-site. The site is also part of an approved Master Plan DRC2003-00770 that master planned 14.8 acres of land and included the development of 3 four-story hotel buildings and 4 restaurant/retail pads. Proposal: The applicant has submitted a Minor Development Review for the proposed construction of the outdoor patio area and the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to amend the original CUP to allow for the consumption of alcoholic beverages in the patio area. The proposed outdoor patio eating area will be located on the southeast corner of the site, near the corner of 4th Street and Pittsburgh Avenue. The design of the patio will reflect the current character and ambiance of the restaurant. The patio area will be bordered with a wall that will be approximately 20 inches in height constructed of CMU block with a used brick veneer over it to replicate the existing materials used on the building. A 5-foot glass wind and sound screen will be placed above the wall to reduce the sound of the traffic on 4th.Street and the winds that are prominent in the area. The pit area will a have similar construction, but the wall will be approximately 4 feet tall and the glass will be 18 inches in height. A metal trellis will also be constructed around a portion of the pit area. The landscaping around the patio area will be similar to the existing landscape. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for the Committee discussion regarding this project. Maior Issues: 1. The applicant worked hard with staff to follow the criteria outlined in the Development Code. There are no major issues regarding this project at this time.

Members Present: Wimberly, Granger Staff Planner: Steve Fowler DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:20 p.m. Steve Fowler May 17, 2011 DESIGN REVIEW DRC2011-00175 - TESORO/ SHELL - A&S ENGINEERING - AHMAD GHADERI - A request to install a 756 square foot automated carwash on the east side of an existing gas station within the Terra Vista Community Plan MFC, located at 11108 Foothill Boulevard - APN: 1077-422-35. Related file: Conditional Use Permit DRC2011-00176. This project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 (Class 3 Exemption - Construction of New Structures). Background: The original approval on December 11, 1996, was for Conditional Use Permit DRC96-21 which addressed the design of the 1.15-acre site with a 2,862 square foot service station with a drive-thru, mini-mart, and two quick service restaurants inside. On September 8, 2010, a Planning Workshop was conducted to review a proposed automated carwash at 11108 Foothill Boulevard. At this meeting, the Commissioners supported the carwash as it was presented, but they were concerned with the noise and possible effects to the surrounding area. Design Parameters: The applicant is proposing to construct a 756 square foot automated carwash at an existing 2,862 square foot gas station and minimart at the northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Elm Avenue within the Terra Vista Community Plan Mixed Use Financial District. The restaurants have vacated the building, and the mini-mart has expanded into the areas where the restaurants were previously located. The drive-thru aisle remains intact and is still screened from Foothill Boulevard. The proposed automated carwash will be located on the east side of the building where the drive-thru window was located. The architectural style and elements of the proposed building will mimic the existing building. The walls will be of smooth stucco with a stucco covered cornice. The design is simple as the north and south elevations will be the most visible, but the east elevation does have the potential to be seen. The east and west elevations are between buildings. The lattice structures will remain along the south elevations of the drive-thru aisle to aide with the screening of the structure. The vegetation around the drive-thru aisle is established and currently screens most of the drive-thru use. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for the Committee discussion regarding this project. Major Issues: 1. The applicant worked hard with staff to follow the criteria outlined in the Development Code. There are no major issues regarding this project at this time. Minor Issues: 1. Add arched elements on the east elevation of the automated carwash building to mimic the arched elements on the south elevation to provide a themed approach to the architecture and provide 360 degree architecture to the building. 2. Add a tile element over the entrance and exit of the proposed building to enhance the south and north elevations and create a cohesive design theme between the existing building and the proposed building. DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2011-00175 - TESORO/ SHELL -A&S ENGINEERING -AHMAD GHADERI May 17, 2011 Page 2 3. The trellis at the southeast corner of the drive aisle shall remain. Policy Issues: No policy issues at this time. Staff recommendation: With the Minor Issues resolved to the satisfaction of the Committee, staff recommends that the Design Review Committee recommend approval of this Development Review to the Planning Commission. Design Review Committee Action: The Design Review Committee recommended approval of the project but requested that the applicant reconsider using wood on the trellis features and use a wood composite instead. The applicant agreed. Members Present: Wimberly, Granger Staff Planner: Steve Fowler DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:40 p.m. Steve Fowler May 17, 2011 DESIGN REVIEW DRC2010-01006 - NEAL T. BAKERS ENTERPRISES - BAKERS DRIVE-THRU RESTAURANT - A request to construct a 2,361 square foot drive-thru restaurant on a .46-acre pad within the Victoria Commons Retail Center within the General Commercial District at 12009 Foothill Boulevard - APN: 0229-023-04. On January 24, 2007, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted by the Planning Commission for Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM17818. The California Environmental Quality Act provides that no further environmental review or Negative Declaration is required for subsequent projects or minor revisions to projects within the scope of a previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. Desiqn Parameters: The applicant is proposing to construct a 2,361 square foot drive-thru restaurant on a .46-acre pad at 12009 Foothill Boulevard. This site is on the south side of Foothill Boulevard in the General Commercial District. The site layout for Victoria Commons was previously approved under DRC2005-01084. The .46-acre parcel is a vacant pad towards the east end of the previously approved project that sits approximately 6 feet below street level. The proposed building is a single-story structure with a winery-inspired architectural style. Some of the elements utilized are three heavy trellises located on both the east and west elevations, with one slightly wrapping around to the north elevation. The exterior of the building consists of a mixture of earth-tone colored stucco and stone veneer. The stone veneer is utilized for the wainscot and the supports columns of the trellis features and on the columns of the two tower elements on the north and south elevations. The two towers are accented with exposed tails at the roof lines, Tuscany blend "S" tile on the roof, and wrought iron accent feature on the east and west elevations of the tower. The tower on the south elevation utilizes a window with shutters as an accent piece. Wood doors will be utilized on the north elevations to reflect the winery theme. Murals have been proposed on the east and west elevations near the north end of the building to help provide visual interest to these areas. The roof-mounted equipment will be screened by the parapet walls and the shed roofs are utilizing the same Tuscany "S" tile as the towers. The building utilizes materials from the existing buildings to incorporate it into the center but not duplicate the style. The proposed landscape around the building will compliment the existing site landscaping. The signage locations have been indicated on the plans to allow for the review of future placement as it corresponds with the building. The signage will be submitted under a Sign Permit package at a later date.
