DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 6:30 - 7:00 Anna-Lisa October 17, 1991 DESIGN REVIEW FOR TENTATIVE TRACT 13717 - WESTERN PROPERTIES - Review of the revised recreation building elevations within a previously approved condominium project, located at the northeast corner of Church Street and Spruce Avenue - APN: 1077-421-13. Site Characteristics: The site is presently vacant with some grapevine vegetation. The site slopes approximately 2 percent from north to south. An east-west row of 12 eucalyptus trees exists near the southwestern edge of the project. In addition, 33 olive trees of some historical value have been boxed for relocation, a mini~m of 12 of these will be planted within the future La Mission Park, located directly southeast of the tract. (Additional conditions have been added through a previous modification to the project to ensure protection of these trees - Resolution 90-20A). Background: Tentative Tract 13717 was approved by the Planning Commission on February 14, 1990. The tract was approved for the development of 394 condominiu/n units within 52 buildings. There are 4 two-story building types. The project was designed as two distinct villages, each with its own architectural scheme. The units to the north of the site will have a contemporary appearance with siding, stucco, and flat tile roofing while the units to the south will have a Mediterranean style with stucco and s-tile roofs. Since the project's approval, the applicant has decided to market the tract as a "for sale" product type instead of rental units due to economic and market conditions. In accordance with this decision, they have scaled down the recreational areas, modified the Spruce Avenue entry, and relocated two buildings to eliminate the rental office and increase open space. On July 18, 1991, the Design Review Committee reviewed the revised scaled down recreation building elevations on Consent Calendar. The Committee requested that the item return to the Conunittee for full review. They, at that time, could not support the project due to it's marked lack of articulation utilization of innovative materials and multi-planes (or pop-outs). Staff Comments: Since that time, the applicant has revised the plans and incorporated a number of the key architectural elements of the buildings, more consistent with the original design. Tile accents, pop-out window treatments and glass block detailing has helped to achieve more consistency with the original approval. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS TT 13717 - WESTEP~N PROPERTIES OCTOBER 17, 1991 Page 2 Design Review Comm{ttee ACtion: Members Present: John Melcher, Wendy Vallette, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Anna-Lisa Hernandez The Design Review Committee reviewed the proposed tot lot and revised recreation building elevations and recommended that the applicant return to the Design Review Committee with the following revisions: 1. The tot lot pool should be relocated to the southern portion of the primary recreation facility. 2. A smaller scaled tot lot facility should be added to the primary recreation area, adjacent to the wading pool on the south side. 3. All tot lots should be fenced in to ensure adequate safety and protection of the children. A suggested material is wrought iron. 4. The detailing on the tower element should be reconsidered. As it is currently designed, maintenance could be a problem in the future. 5. A circular glass detail should be substituted for the clock element within the tower. 6. The recreation building elevations indicate a stuccoed fascia painted in a different accent tone. The Co~nittee suggested that the fascia match the building color to establish a "clean crisp line" to the roof.
