June 20, 1991 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 91-04 - WELLS FARGO BANK - The proposed development of a 4,525 square foot bank on Pad 10 within the previously approved Vineyards Marketplace Shopping Center, which consists of 11 buildings totaling 121,401 square feet on 12.8 acres Of land in the Village Commercial District of the Victoria Community Plan, located at the southeast corner of Highland Avenue and Milliken Avenue - APN: 227-011- 22. Background: The Vineyards Marketplace Shopping Center was approved by the Planning Commission on November 29, 1989. At that time, the pad in question was located where Building 11 is plotted, adjacent to the Kenyon Way drive entrance. However, the Planning Commission approved a switch of building pads for Buildings 10 and 11 at their meeting Of April 10, 1991, with the specific Design Review approval of Building 11 in its new location occurring on May 16, 1991. Design Parameters: This building pad is located at the southwest corner of the site, adjacent to the pedestrian plaza at the corner of Milliken and Kenyon. Several decorative retaining walls and undulating berms are provided in front of this pad to accentuate the Kenyon and Milliken streetscapes in the area of this building. Currently, Buildings 3 and 7 are under construction with the development of Building 11 expected soon- Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: The building should be oriented to take greater advantage of the pedestrian plaza immediately to the west- Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. The west (Milliken) elevation should be architecturally upgraded to include elements used extensively on other elevations. DESIGN REVIEW COF~4ENTS DR 91-04 - WELLS FARGO BANK JUNE 20, 1991 Page 2 Mexican tile bulkheads, consistent with the tile bulkheads utilized on other buildings, should be incorporated on the elevations. Additional trees and shrubs should be included along the north and east building frontages, beyond the roof overhangs, similar to the approved landscape concept for the front of other buildings. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: All landscape species should be consistent with approved landscape palette for the entire shopping center. Design Review Co-~ittee Action Members Present: Suzanne Chitiea, Wendy Vallette, Otto Kroutil Staff Planner: Steve Hayes The Design Review Committee did not recommend approval of the project as presented. The Comittee recommended that the project return for further Committee review once the following revisions are incorporated into the project design: The entire building should be shifted 3 to 4 feet to the north in order to incorporate a colonade on the south side of the building. The existing colonade on the north elevation may be reduced in width accordingly, but not to be less than 4 feet wide. A colonade or articulated overhang should be provided over the planter on the west elevation. Solid decorative doors and additional windows should be provided on the buildings west elevation. The area framing the automatic teller machines should appear as a separate finished element by utilizing a tile wainscot or layered accent element as a backdrop. A decorative element should be added under the tower arch on the north elevation. 6. Secondary issues 2 and 3 and all policy issues will be addressed by the applicant on the revised plans.
