The report qualifies under State CEQA Guideline Section 15061(b)(3) because the report is for informational purposes and will not result in an intensification of environmental impacts. • Background: The Terra Vista Town Center has a unified design theme, which utilizes mild earth-tone colors and exhibits architectural elements and design elements from the Spanish Revival style. The applicant is requesting that the Design Review Committee provide input and direction regarding the proposed Farrell's Ice Parlour & Restaurant, which will introduce bold colors and depart from the unified design theme. The applicant will provide a presentation at the Design Review Committee meeting. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee receive the report and the applicant's presentation and provide input and direction as the Committee deems appropriate. Design Review Committee Action: Staff gave an overview of the DRC process and explained the purpose of the workshop-style meeting. The applicant made a presentation to the Committee, noting that nostalgia and a historical connection to Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour is critical to their corporate identity. Mr. Mike Nelson from the Redevelopment Agency gave a short presentation noting the economic importance of the Foothill Boulevard corridor and how corporate identity is critical to the restaurant tenants. Following the applicant's presentation, the Design Review Committee reviewed the proposed color and material changes for the proposed Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour at 10742 Foothill Boulevard. The Committee emphasized that respecting the existing design of the center is important, but noted that there is the opportunity to capture the corporate imagery of Farrell's image and blend existing elements of the Terra Vista Center into the Farrell's concept. The Committee and the applicant spent considerable time discussing design, materials, and colors, and reached an agreement on the following points: • The Committee directed the applicant to select a color scheme that compliments and blends with the existing design scheme. The Committee directed the applicant to use an off-white/cream color for the majority of the wall planes. The Committee instructed the applicant to avoid the use of the bold red and blue, but indicated that a muted rose/burgundy color could be used as an accent color. • The Committee will not support the removal of the tile roof and the installation of a painted metal roof. The applicant agreed to leave the tile roof. • The existing Bahama shutters can be painted a muted rose/burgundy color. • The entryway element on the south side, that fronts Foothill Boulevard, can be somewhat bold in order to capture the iconic imagery of Farrell's, and the pop-out element on the north elevation can DRC ACTION AGENDA PRELIMINARY REVIEW— FARRELL'S ICE CREAM PARLOUR & RESTAURANT June 14, 2011 Page 2 mimic the entryway on the south side with respect to colors. The Bahama shutters on the north elevation pop-out can also be removed and replaced with vision glass. • Blue awnings on the south and west elevations are acceptable. • The applicant expressed a desire to paint the existing base tile element gray, but the Committee reserved the right to review the final rendering prior to agreeing to the color change on the base tile. • Accent light bulbs should be used sparingly. Single-element decorative sconce lights are acceptable at the entryway and on the side elevations. • The arches on the elevations will be studied by the designer. The Committee was willing to review the use of arches at a later date when the applicant returns with renderings. • The use of Americana and iconic graphics will not be permitted. • The signage must conform to Uniform Sign Program NO. 134. • The use of fun, garish elements, such as ice cream cones and other elements, shall be eliminated. • The painting of lampposts fun, playful colors is not permitted; the lampposts shall match the existing lampposts. • The Committee was open to the modest use of murals that use a Route 66 inspired design. • The applicant will file a formal application and the Committee will review the revised Farrell's design at Design Review Committee at a later date.
