Staff Comments: This project has been accepted as complete for processing, but has substantial design and technical issues which have not been addressed by the applicant. Resolution of these issues will require revisions which must occur prior to scheduling for Planning Commission. The major design issues which the Comaittee should address are: 1. All food uses and drive-thru facilities should be clearly shown and designed to City Standards. 2. Substantial landscape planters should be provided behind the Albertson's, Sav-On, and Shops buildings. 3. Details should be provided on the design of the recycling center. 4. Trash enclosures should be reoriented to accessible places and not in front of potential parking spaces. 5. The parking lot west of Building 11 should be redesigned to reduce the paved area and to meet the setback from the Ke~on Way right turn lane. 6. More planter area should be provided at the northeast corner of Shops 3. 7. The applicant should consider elimination of the southerly drive access to Woodruff Place. 8. Larger enriched paving areas should be located at project entries. 9. The walkway in front of the Albertson's should be enlarged to provide additional planting area. Architectore: 1. All elevations facing existing Highland Avenue and the future freeway should be significantly upgraded. All roof mounted equipment must be shown on the site sections and adequately screened from view including the freeway. 2. Variation in the building plane should be provided on all street facing elevations, particularly for Shops 2 and 10. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS CUP 89-08 - HUGHES INVESllIENTS MAY 18, 1989 Page 2 3. In general, architectural details should be enriched. For example, cap, cornice, base, and trim elements should be explored for use. In addition, there appears to be many "blank" areas requiring mere detail, particularly on the Albertson's (south elevation), Building 2 (east elevation) and Building 10 (south elevation). 4. Provide elevations of storefronts. Variation in window/door patterns should be provided on the elevations. 5. Provide additional architectural detailing and landscaping on the west elevation of the Albertson's and the east elevation of the Say-On building. Landscaping: 1. Provide substantial landscaping to the rear of the shopping center to screen it from Highland Avenue and the freeway. 2. Provide additional tree plantings throughout the site, particularly in front of building faces. 3. Satellite plaza areas with pedestrian amenities should be provided throughout the site. Bike racks should be provided. 4. Lot A should be landscaped for screening purposes. 5. Additional landscaping should be provided in the service station area. 6. All retaining walls visible from public areas should be decorative. 7. All transformers and ground mounted equipment should be heavily screened with shrubs and tree plantings and or walls. 8. Additional tree wells should be provided to break up the expansive paved areas. g. Details of the light standards, trash enclosures and other site furniture should be provided. Design Review Committoe ktion: Members Present: Suzanne Chitlea, Peter Tolstoy, Brad Bullet Staff Planner: Brett Homer DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS CUP 89-08 - HUGHES INVESTMENTS MAY 18, 1989 Page 3 The Comnittee reviewed the plans and directed the applicant to address the following items in revised plans to be submitted for additional Conmittee review. These comnents should be addressed in conjunction with or preferably after resolution of the extensive technical issues associated with this project. 1. A Conceptual Plan should be provided which depicts anticipated drive-thru and food uses within the center. These plans, which may consist of overlays, should meet all City Standards in terms of the drive-thru policies and parking requirements. 2. In general, landscaping areas and tree plantings should be increased throughout the site. Substantial landscape planting area should be provided in the area of the service station. The Committee recom.~nded that the width of the planting area behind the supermarket and drug store be extended on the shopping center property, south of Lot A. 3. The architectural scheme should be modified to include much greater detailing, such as cap, cornice, base, and trim elements. In general, all elevations need to be enhanced. Suggestions included making modifications to building mass and bulk, use of spandrel glass to encourage pedestrian activity on all street facing elevations, additional storefront detailing, and increased emphasis on entries and other focal points. The Comnittee was especially concerned with the rear elevations facing the freeway, which they recomnended for substantial improvements. 4. The architectural theme should be mare residential in character then industrial. The Comnittee suggested the architectural elemants associated with the areas' historic winery structures. The Comnittee felt the use of arches, gables, and towers was app ropr iate. 5. A major entry statement should be made along Milliken Avenue, either at the entrance driveway along that street or at the northeast corner of Kenyon Way and Hilliken Avenue. The rolocation of Buildings 9 and 10 was also suggested. It was suggested that these buildings be grouped closer together with a small plaza area in between them. The entry should include such items as special accent landscaping, special paving, seating, and perhaps a fountain. 6. Parking in front of the store fronts should be eliminated or confined to only a few stalls in localized areas. This will allow for additional landscaping and site furniture, such as bike racks, low seat walls, pottad plants, trash receptacles, etc. No vending machines or other apparatus should be permitted within the center. DESIGN REVIEW COltMENTS CUP 89-08- HUGHES INVESl~ENTS MAY 18, 1989 Page 4 7. The area in front of the Albertson's should be expanded to provide enhanced paving areas, low raised planter areas, and other pedestrian amenities. It was reconmended that this area be at least 15 feet in width for substantial tree planting. The area should be designed to discourage outdoor storage of shopping carts and/or merchandise. A paving detail and/or sample should be provided. 8. Additional landscaping and planting area should be provided in the areas visible from the service station area, including the west elevation of shops at Building 7 and Albertson's. The planter width south of the 4 parking stalls by the entry drive off of Milliken should be increased to accomnodate tree planting. In general, planter widths throughout the site need to be increased to acconmodate additional tree planting. This would include tree wells within the parking lots. g. Accent paving at all driveway entries should be substantially increased in depth. 10. Satellite pedestrian plaza areas with pedestrian areas should be p roy i de d. 11. Details of the crib retaining wall should be provided. 12. Details of the light standards, trash enclosures, and other site furniture should be provided. 13. Elevations of the recycling center facility should be provided with the details to be verked out with City staff. 14. The service station should reflect the detailing and architectural theme of the center as a whole. The colors, roof tile, and building materials should be integrated with the shopping center 's. 15. The planter area at the northeast corner of Shops 3 should be increased in width to acconmodate tree planting. 16. Trash enclosure areas should be designed to prevent parking in front of them. Given the number of items to be addressed, the project should return as a full item for additional Committee review. The Committee did not have time to address all aspects of the project. TherefoFe, additional review and comments are necessary.
