DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 6:00 - 6:30 p.m. Dino August 21, 1986 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 85-29 - GENERAL MARBLE - The development of a 45,000 square foot building addition to an existing 40,000 square foot building on 5.36 acres of land in the General Industrial/Rail Served District (Subarea 2) located on the north side of 9th Street between Vineyard and Hellman Avenues - APN: 209-1, 4, 5, 6. Design Parameters The project site includes an existing manufacturing/warehouse facility for General Marble Corporation. The surrounding uses are also manufacturing/warehouse facilities. The properties adjacent to the project site are vacant. Issues The Planning Co~mission's policy for industrial bull ding additions has been to improve the existing building design to meet the same quality design as the proposed addition. Has the proposed addition been designed to an acceptable level of architecture and the existing building i~rovements upgraded to meet this same design quality? Another P1 anning Commission policy is to design 1 oading areas at the rears of buildings in order to screen loading activity from public view. The project site includes an existing loading facility area which faces 9th Street in full public view (existing conditions). The existing loading area requires that trucks use the public street to maneuver, which conflicts with City standards and policies. Should the relocation of this loading area be considered as an alternative in the design of the proposed project? Staff Coemeents Architecture: 1. Expand the proposed framed canopy element to become an integral (significant) part of the proposed and existing buildings. 2. Sandblast major portions of the proposed and existing buildings to create a texturized surface for increased architectural appeal. Design Review Comments August 21, 1986 DR 85-29 - General Marble Page 2 Site Plan: 1. The applicant should be directed to explore relocating the existing loading dock area at the rear of the existing and or proposed buildings (see Exhibit "A" example). 2. Incorporate parking and landscaping in place of the existing loading dock area (similar to the proposed parking and landscaping along 9th Street adjacent to the proposed building) and eliminate the center driveway. Landscaping: 1. Provide six (6) foot wide (minimum) landscape buffer strip approximately 50 feet from and parallel with the curved rear (north) property line to separate parking and access from truck movement and outside storage (see Exhibit "B" example). 2. Plant tall growing trees (specimen size) surrounding the existing equipment on the west side of the existing building to sufficiently screen from public view. 3. Provide dense landscaping along the west property line (approximately 280 feet from the public right-of-way) to sufficiently screen any storage or loading activity in this area. 4. Employee eating/break area should include seating, overhead trellis, and tables. Design Review Comnittee Action Members Present: Suzanne Chitiea, Dennis Stout, Brad Bullet Staff Present: Dino Putrino The Committee recommended that the project be revised for additional Committee review as follows: 1. Design of screen wall and gate be provided within the landscape setback area for screening the loading dock area of the south side of the existing building. A streetscape plan for 9th Street be provided. Design Review Comments August 21, 1986 DR 85-29 - General Harble Page 3 2. The proposed elevations do not meet the Design Guidelines of the Industrial Specific Plan in areas of providing articulation of building plane and surface. The elevations should be redesigned to provide an office entrance statement, variation in architectural plane and add texture to building surface. The existing building should be upgraded with the same architectural treatment as the new addition. 3. A ten (10) foot wide landscape planter be provided to the west proeprty line for approximately 280 feet north from the public right-of-way. The landscaping should be densely planted in order to sufficiently screen storage and loading activity from public view and include tall specimen size trees to sufficiently screen the equipment on the west side of the existing building. 4. Landscape "finger" planters along the north property line parking area at a rate of one "finger" per 10 parking stalls be provided. 5. Additional pedestrian amenities such as seating, trellis cover and landscape screening be provided within the employee plaza area. 6. Eliminate the west most proposed driveway on 9th Street (adjacent to the railroad right-of-way) and incorporate densely planted landscaping and screen walls. Re-route circulation along the west property line to take access from the west most existing driveway. 7. Vines and shrubs be provided adjacent to the screen walls along 9th Street.
