July 18, 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. On June 20, 1991, the Committee (Chitiea, Vallette, Kroutil) reviewed the proposed bank building but did not recommend approval of the project as presented. It was recommended that the project return for further review with the following items 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. 2. A colonade or articulated Overhang should be provided over the planter on the west elevation- 3- 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. e 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- DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS DR 91-04 - WELLS FARGO BANK JULY 18, 1991 Page 2 All landscape species should be consistent with approved landscape palette for the entire shopping center- Staff COmments: At the time of comment preparation, the revised plans had not yet been submitted to staff. Therefore, the Co~nittee should review the revised plan in light of the previous meetings comments. Design Review COmmittee Action: Members Present: Wendy Vallette, John Melcher, Otto Kroutil Staff Planner: Steve Hayes The Committee did not recommend approval of the project as presented- They directed the applicant to incorporate the following changes into the design and, if staff is satisfied that the changes are addressed, the project could be reviewed at the next available Design Review Consent Calendar. The large pop-out element near the southwest corner of the building should be redesigned- Suggested methods include: a) Bring down a shed roof element that ties into other rooflines on the building; b) Provide double columns under this element to appear more supportive for the apparent mass of this element- If this is selected, the columns should rise from the inner arch of the pop-out. In order to reduce the combined slope/building height as seen from Kenyon Way, the Con~nittee suggested that the southern elevation of the building could be reduced in height, while keeping with the same proportions (example: arches, roof pitch, etc.) with the balance of the building and other buildings within the center. By doing this, the Committee would be willing to support a future Minor Exception for building setback from Kenyon Way from 35 feet to 33 feet- A design alternative to the trellis element under the north elevation tower arch should be explored by the architect. Suggested options included an ornamental medallion quatrafoil or a tile wainscot. 4. The tile wainscot should be provided below the ATM structure- DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS DR 91-04 - WELLS FARGO BANK JULY 18, 1991 Page 3 AS stated at the last meeting, the doors on the west elevation should be decorative, yet be designed in such a way whereas the public does not perceive this to be the primary building entrance- 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.
