CONTINUED FROM OCTOBER 2, 1986 NF:ns Attachments CC: Planning Commission/City Council COII4ERCIAL/INDUSll~IAL CONSENT CALENDAR IlEMS AGENDA October 16, 1986 1. DR 85-40 - BA!~(S Review of change to roof material. (Debra) Committee Action: The Committee approved the use of concrete tile but recommended that a smoother texture be used, similar to the tile used on Tract 12588 (located SWC Hermosa and Hillside). 2. DR 86-63 - MUSIC PLUS Review of addition to existing building. (Debra) Committee Action: The Committee discussed possible architectural modifications with the applicant. The suggestions were: 1. Raise the roof line at the entry. 2. Continue tile roof canopy to the point where the existing building now ends. 3. The added portion would maintain the stucco finish with rough sawn wood trim as the rear portion exists now. However, this would be a much smaller proportion of the overall building. 3. DR85-38 - AaA Review of addition of dock high facility. (Debra) Committee Action: The Committee approved the dock high facility but stipulated that the applicant must meet Building and Safety requirements in regard to blocking or removing the doorways adjacent to the dock facility. 4. MUR 86-28 - PIC 'N SAVE Review of addition of metal canopy. (Debra) Committee Action: The Committee approved the roof canopy proposed but recommended that it should be painted ivory to match the building color. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 6:00 - 6:30 Debra October 16, 1986 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 86-22 - KAPLAN - The development of a 38,800 square foot industrial building on 2.1 acres of land in the General Industrial District (Subarea 13) located on the east side of 6th Street, north of Buffalo Avenue - APN: 229-261-13. Oesign Parameters The site, as well as properties to the north, south and east, remain as vineyards. To the west of 6th Street on Buffalo Avenue is a warehouse distribution facility (Pier 1). The land slopes gradually from north to south at a rate of about 2%. 6th Street is improved with curb, gutter and median island up to the northerly property line. Staff C..,ents Site Plan: 1. Design the secondary access with the use of turf block and rollover curb to prevent the use of that drive by vehicles other than emergency vehicles. 2. The site plan must be revised to comply with recently adopted revisions to the Industrial Specific Plan. Specifically: A. Interior side lot building setback, 5 foot minimum, along north property line. The intent of the setback is to provide landscaping to soften appearance of elevation from 6th Street. B. Parking stalls for truck trailers shall be provided at a rate of one stall per truck loading door, and shall be 50 feet x 14 feet in size. 3. The loading facilities will be visible from 6th Street and Buffalo, therefore, must be screened. A decorative concrete or masonry wall, 8 ft. in height, and landscaping should be provided along the westerly and southerly boundaries of the parking lot. Architecture: 6th Street is a Special Boulevard, and as such, special architectural treatment is necessary. Proposed architecture includes articulation of building surfaces through the use of recessed textured panels to create shadow patterns. Office zones are highlighted with the use of spandrel glass. Design Review Comments DR 86-22 - Kaplan October 16, 1986 Page 2 Landscaping: 1. Special landscape features such as mounding, alluvial rockscape, specimen size trees with meandering sidewalk, is required along 6th Street. 2. Specimen size canopy shade trees should be provided for outdoor plazas at each office entry. Design Review Commeittee Action Members Present: Suzanne Chitlea, Dennis Stout, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Debra Meier Architecture: The Committee recommended approval of the project with the following modifications and conditions: 1. On the west building elevation (6th Street frontage), eliminate the white paint and substitute sandblast surface. Provide fluted pattern in all the recessed areas. 2. The fluted pattern must be of a depth and size that is "readable" from 6th Street. (Example of size and pattern is that used on Coca Cola building.) 3. On the south elevation, within the loading wells, eliminate the white strip and substitute the "chocolate" in its place. 4. The roll-up doors should be painted to match the building and not accented. 5. The loading wells visible from 6th Street 'should be screened by use of eight foot decorative wall along west and south boundaries of parking lot. The Committee would like to review the revised architecture at its November 6 meeting prior to scheduling for Planning Commission review. Landscaping: 1. Special landscape features such as undulated mounding, alluvial rockscape, specimen size trees and meandering sidewalk is required along 6th Street. Design Review Comments DR 86-22 - Kaplan October 16, 1986 Page 3 2. Specimen size canopy shade trees should be provided in the outdoor plaza areas. Provide some separation from entry and usable court area by use of low profile walls, plant materials, or other screening concepts. 3. The court area shall be shielded from 6th Street with the use of low profile walls and plant material. 4. Provide an entry statement at the drive approach by using accent specimen trees, annual color, and other appropriate decorative treatment. Site Plan: The following items have been discussed with the applicant and are now resolved: 1. Parking stalls for truck trailers will be provided by eliminating one dock door at each loading well, thereby providing a dock high door with a parking space adjacent. 2. The site plan shall provide the 5 foot setback at the north boundary by sliding the building southerly and losing 5 feet in the drive aisle behind the vehicular parking area at the south building elevation. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 6:30 - 7:00 Nancy October 16, 1986 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 85-44 - FALK - The review of a proposed 13.7 acres Master Plan as required by conditions of approval for the above referenced project, in the General Industrial District, Subarea 5, located between 5th Street and 6th Street, between Turner Avenue and Lucas Ranch Road - APN: 210-032-02 through 07 and 09; 210-013-03 through 10. Design Parameters The site is vacant and vegetation consists of native grass and weeds. The Master Plan consists of 16 legal parcels, ranging from a size of .62 acres to 1.42 acres. On February 6, 1986, the Design Review Committee reviewed the project and recommended that the proposed Master P1 an be revised to provide specific locations of future drive approaches and approximate locations of all employee plaza areas. The Committee also recommended that larger common plaza/open space with strong pedestrian connections be provided. The Planning Commission, on February 22, lg86, conditionally approved Phase I project of this proposed Master Plan located at the southeast corner of Lucas Ranch Road and 6th Street. One of the conditions of approval required that a Master Plan be revised to provide common plaza areas and submitted for Design Review Committee review and approval prior to issuance of building permits for Phase I project. Attached for your review is a copy of Resolution No. 86-32. Staff C~.,.ents 1. The proposed Master Plan is almost identical to the one reviewed by the Design Review Committee and Planning Commission (see Exhibit "A"). The location/size of the "lunch areas" has not changed. The only change appears to be the additiono'~several fragmented sidewalks. The developer has not addressed the condition of approval requiring larger common plaza/open space areas, nor providing strong pedestrian connections throughout the site. 2. The site planning for this Master Plan is inefficient in that the building configuration and placement does not create opportunities for common plazas and other landscaped open space area. The design does not promote safe and convenient pedestrian movement with continuous landscaped pathways between buildings. Attachments A, B & C show examples of common plaza/open space area within multi-building industrial parks. Design Review Comments DR 85-44 - Falk October 16, 1986 Page 2 3. The proposed Master Plan should provide for a consistent streetscape design theme that encourages or incorporates intensified landscaping with specimen size trees, alluvial rockscape, mounding, and appropriate street furniture. Further, special landscape treatment to accentuate project entrances and building entrances should be provided. A conceptual landscape plan to illustrate the implementation of a consistent streetscape theme should be reviewed by Design Review Committee. 4. Parking stalls for trailers to the size of 14 ft. x 50 ft. at a ratio of 1 truck stall per truck loading dock door has not been provided or shown on the site plan as now required by the ISP. Design Review Committee Action Members Present: Dennis Stout, Suzanne Chitlea, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Nancy Fong The Committee recommended that the Master Plan be revised to address the following concerns to the satisfaction of City Planner prior to issuance of building permits for DR 85-44. 1. Provide logical pedestrian connections throughout the site. 2. Provide a consistent streetscape by establishing landscaping palette especially along the perimeter of the site. 3. Provide a legal mechanism for implementing shared plaza areas. RESOLUTION NO. 86-32 A RESOLUTION OF THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVING DEVELOPMENT REVIEW NO.
