DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 6:30 - 7:00 Chris October 2, 1986 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 86-24 - AJA/SCHEU - The development of two multi-tenant industrial buildings totaling 44,050 square feet on 3.44 acres of land in the Industrial Park, Subarea 6, located at the northeast corner of Center Street and Enterprise Street - APN 210-331-12, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21. Design Paraeeters The site is vacant, relatively flat, and no significant vegetation. The properties to the southeast are developed. Staff Com~nts Site P1 an: 1. Additional pedestrian amenities should be provided to the office entrance plaza area, such as raised seating benches, raised planters, and/or free-standi ng planters. 2. The three parking spaces at the east end of Building A should be el iminated to mitigate traffic conflict. 3. Texturized pedestrian connections should be provided throughout the site to connect with the plaza areas and buildings. 4. Project entrance should have textured pavement such as brick pavers, exposed aggregate, or a combination of them. Elevations: 1. The proposed elevations show a monotonous horizontal roof line for Buildings A and B. Vertical variations of the roof line should be provided to create interest. 2. Oversize concrete columns should be provided to complement the size of the building. 3. Textured bands, such as sandblasted material, should be provided for the two buildings. Landscaping: 1. Special landscaping treatment such as increased number of trees, specimen size trees, and accent trees should be provided at all project entrances. 2. Special landscaping treatment such as raised planters, free-standing planters of exposed aggregate material, and tree wells should be provided within the plaza areas of the building entrance area. Design Review Cor~ents DR 86-24 - A,ia/Scheu Page 2 Oesign Review Cmmfittee Action Members Present: Dennis Stout, Suzanne Chitlea Staff Planner: Chris Westman The Design Review Committee recommended approval of the project subject to the following conditions: 1. Additional pedestrian amenities be provided to the office entrance plaza areas in the form of integrated planter areas and/or free standing planters. 2. Pedestrian access be provided from Trademark Street and Enterprise Street and connect directly to the employee/pedestrian plazas located on the north side of Building A and the south side of Building B. 3. Texturized pedestrian connections and texturized pavement at project entrances should be provided. Texturized materials could be of exposed aggregate, color salt finish concrete, brick paver or a combination of them. 4. Three parking spaces with east/west orientation located at the northeast corner of the site should be reoriented to a northwest orientation in order to eliminate possible circulation conflicts. B. In order to create vertical relief to the building elevation and to screen future roof equipment from the second floor inhabitants of a neighboring building, the developer should add an angled roof screening element that is integrated into the design of the building and is similar to the existing southerly building. 6. The man doors along the service access corridor should be painted with accent colors. 7. Special landscaping treatment to include accent trees, specimen size trees, annuals, etc. should be provided at the site intersections of Center and Enterprise and Trademark and Center. 8. To mitigate views into the service corridor, dense landscape treatment such as increased number of trees and shrubs should be provided along the north and south site perimeters. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:00 - 7:30 Nancy October 2, 1986 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONN_ USE PERMIT 86-20 - WESTERN PROPERTIES - The development of an Industrial Park consisting of six buildings totaling 160,155 square feet on 12.9 acres of land in the Office Park District of the Terra Vista Planned Community located at the northeast corner of Elm Street and Town Center Drive- APN 1077-421-06, 1077-091-17. Design Paraseters The site is vacant; vegetation consists of decaying vineyards, and it slopes from north to south at approximately 2-3%. The site is surrounded to the northeast and southeast by multi-family development; and, to the southwest and northwest by future Office Park development and Community Commercial Development. Land Use Issue Related to this proposed project is the applicant's proposal to amend the Tetra Vista Planned Community by establishing a Business Park Overlay Zone in areas designated for Office, Commercial, or Mixed Use. Subject to the approval of the Conditional Use Permit, the Business Park Overlay Zone would permit such land uses as custom manufacturing, light manufacturing, R and D, light wholesale, storage and distribution type of land uses. Staff is strongly opposed to the amendment because it would introduce industrial type uses into a residential planned con~nunity. The proposed Tetra Vista Planned Community Amendment, 86-02, has been tentatively scheduled for October 8, 1986 regular Planning Commission meeting for their review. Although land use is a policy issue that the full Commission must decide, the Committee should understand that the function of the buildings has a relationship to the design. Staff Comments Site Plan: 1. The proposed project is designed to encourage industrial andother types of "incubator" uses which require roll-up doors and service driveways. The doors are designedsuchthat they can be easily replaced with windows asthe industrial park evolves over time into an Office Park. 2. Site plan arrangement does not take advantage of the major Greenway Trail on Elm Street. Further, the trail is shown with the minimum 30' width which appears consistent with the concept illustrated in Figure IV-68 and IV-67, where linear portion of this greenway typically should average 40 feet in width with a minimum width of 30 feet. Design Review Comments CUP 86-20 - Western Properties Page 2 3. Pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Elm Street and Church Street should be provided to complement the local transit route as shown in Figure IV-40. 4. Texturized pedestrian connections (exposed aggregate, brick pavers, or a combination of both) should be provided throughout the site to connect from major entrances to the plaza areas. Elevations: 1. Does the proposed architecture provide for compatibility to the surrounding residential development of the northeast and southeast location? 2. The proposed elevations are designed with tilt-up concrete panels, concrete columns, and shed roof. The roof line for all the buildings shows one continuous horizontal line which could be improved by providing vertical variation. Landscaping: 1. Special landscaping treatment and hardscape should be provided to the trails along Elm Street. It should include such things as specimen size trees, increased number of trees, low decidious canopy tree for shade, and evergreen trees; hardscape such as benches along pedestrian paths to allow people to rest and visit, etc. 2. Special landscaping treatment shall be provided to all project entrances and to the corners of the project site. Design Review Committee Action Members Present: Dennis Stout, Suzanne Chitiea Staff Planner: Nancy Fong The Committee stated that the land use issue must be considered by the Planning Commission prior to their review on the project, as the design is closely related to the use and function of the buildings. The Committee recommended continuation of this item to the next regular meeting (October 16, 1986 at 7:30 - 8:00).
