DESIGN REVIEW COt~4ENTS 6:00 - 6:30 Brett June 8, 1989 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 14316 LEWIS HOMES - A residential subdivision and design review of 47 single family lots on 8.5 acres of land in the Low-Medium Density Residential District of the Terra ~sta Planned Con~nunity located at the northwest corner of Rochester Avenue and Church Street - APN: 227-151-14. Design Parameters: This project is one of the first in Terra ~ sta to be developed under the innovative standards. The wide and shallower lots allow for a wider, more prominent house along the street. Staff Comments: The following items should be addressed by the Committee: Architecture: 1. 360 degree treatment. Special treatment on Church Street and Rochester Avenue facing elevations. 2. More variety in front elevation building mass, form, and roof structure should be provided. Site Plan/Streetscape: 1. Lots 38, 39, and 40 should be reoriented to "B" and "D" Streets. 2. All of the homes have three-car garages which tend to dominate the streetscape. Provi de si de-on garage, special door treatment, off- set garage faces, etc. 3. Reduce driveway approach to standard 16' in width. 4. The median break on Church Street should be eliminated. Fencing and Walls: 1. Provide decorative sideyard return fencing. 2. Carry wrought iron fencing to perimeter wall south of "E" Street. 3. Eliminate retaining condition on the wall along "A" Street. Design Review Coaerittee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Bruce Emerick Otto Kroutil Staff Planner: Brett Horner DESIGN REVIEW COM~IENTS TT 14316 - LEWIS HOMES Page 2 The Committee did not recommend approval of the project as proposed. The following recommendations were made and should be addressed in revised plans: 1. The Con~nittee did not feel that the project was innovative. Hence, the center plot standards should be utilized with this project, which would require larger lot sizes and additional front and rear yard useable area (among other things). 2. A major trail should be provided along Church Street which would link the proposed park site to the north with the ~ctoria Community Trail proposed along Miller Avenue. The trial should be designed similar to the trial just north of the Tetra ~ sta Town Center adjacent to the north side of Elm Avenue (Trail Type "B" in the Community Plan). The trail should be shown extending through the project proposed to the west of Tract 14316. 3. A bonus room option should be provided to the homeowners in place of a third enclosed garage space to mitigate the large, prominent three car garages. 4. Window trim and additional architectural detailing should be provided on all rear and side elevations. 5. Special paving, such as a col ored concrete and/or brick banding should be provided to mitigate the expansive three-car wide driveways. 6. Decorative si de yard return fencing should be provided between homes. 7. The retaining wall along "A" Street should be eliminated. The wall should be located at the top of the slope. 8. Side yard setbacks should be measured from the furthest projection of the house. Chimneys and similar features are exempt, but projections which extend along large sections of the elevations should meet the 5 feet minimum side yard setback. DESIGN REVIEW COM~4ENTS 6:30 - 7:00 Bruce June 8, 1989 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 88-46 - JAMES CARTER - Development of a neighborhood shopping center consisting of threo buildings totaling 30,105 square feet on 4.45 acres in the Neighborhood Commercial District located at the southwest corner of Base Line Road and Hellman Avenue - APN: 208-202-13 and 14. Background: This project was reviewed as a regular item at the Design Review Committee meeting of April 6, 1989. At that time the applicant was directed to revise certain aspects of the development plans related to architecture, the site plan and landscaping. Staff Comments: The Design Review Committee should examine the resubmitted plans and elevations for completion of the following revisions as recommended to the applicant during the meeting of April 6, 1989. Architecture: 1. The form of buildings "A" and "B" should be revised to make a stronger architectural statement and include more detail and elements which tie in with the main building "C". 2. The small square tile work below the cornice should be deleted and an additional cornice placed below the built-up cornice on building "C". The additional cornice should continue around the entire building including the towers. 3. The metal framework structures on the front of building "C" should be revised to be wood and the paint should be changed to gray. Alternative paint samples for the structures and other elements such as the storefronts should be resubmitted. The white color as presented for the stucco should remain. 4. The square tile work ornaments at the towers should be inset 6 inches. 5. Additional pilasters should be used along the entire length of the rear of building "C". The pilasters should be 6 inches in depth. 6. An architectural element should be added to the rear facade of building "C", aligning with the rear automobile entrance of the center. 7. The arcade element at the east elevation of building "C" should be continued around the southeast corner of the bull dings, aligning with the top of the roof slope on the same side. DESIGN REVIEW COK~iENTS CUP 88-46 - JAMES CARTER Page 2 Site Plan/Landscaping: 1. A retaining wall and guard rail should be provided at the south side of the rear parking lot of building "C" in order to lower the proposed grade and preserve the existing Eucalyptus trees at the southern edge of the project. The grading plan should be revised to indicate the additional retaining wall and the existing grade around the trees as remaining. An alternative would be to remove the affected trees and replant or replace them after grading operations. However, this would necessitate an arborist's report. 2. The revised plans should incorporate all design elements such as planter areas and enriched paving as indicated on the plans as reviewed at the April 6, lg89 Design Review Committee meeting. The enriched paving should be labeled as pre-cast concrete pavers with concrete banding. 3. A continuous planter area with trees and shrubs should be provided along the south side of building "C" with the exception of the parking stalls and service walks which will remain. Wood trellises should be provided on the south side of building "C" only where the proposed parking is 1 ocated. there should not be any further modification of the parking (additional) at the rear of building Design Review Comnittee Coalaents: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Bruce Emerick, Otto Kroutil Staff Planner: Bruce Abbott The Design Review Committee examined the revised site pl an, 1 andscape plan and elevations for conformance to the staff comments and revisions as recommended by the Committee during the meeting of April 6, 1989. As a result of the review the Committee recommended approval of the project subject to certain revisions. The revisions which should be incorporated on the plans prior to scheduling for Planning Commission are: 1. The additional cornice p]aced below the built-up cornice on building "C" should continue around the entire building inc]uding the towers. 2. The southeast corner of building "C" should be revised in plan view to reflect the revised elevations at that portion of the building. These revisions would also include the planter area and hardscape in that area of the building. DESIGN REVIEW CO~IENTS CUP 88-46 - JAMES CARTER Page 3 3. The enriched paving areas at the entrances to the project should be located behind the property lines, within the project site as directed by the City Engineering Division. Sidewalks should align with the enriched paving areas for a smooth transition and connection across the parking lot or driveway as applicable. 4. Grading plans should be revised to clearly indicate the amount of fill soil to be placed around the Eucalyptus trees at the south edge of the site. Trees subject to fill soil over the root area will either be removed, boxed and replanted after grading operations or the trees will be replaced in like kind and size. 5. It was determined that additional trellises with vines will not be required at the rear of building "C". However, the subject may be reviewed at Planning Commission. The planting plan should be revised to include these trellises as shown on the elevations of the back of building "C".
