Adjournment CITY OF RANCHO CUCAlVIONGA ' STAFF REPORT DATE: December 28, 1994 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Beverly Luttrell, AICP, Associate Planner SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 94-26 - MASI PARTNERS - Review of site plan, elevations, colors, and materials for development of an ice/roller rink in Buildings 18 and 19 as part of Conditional Use Permit 94-26, located on 27 acres of land at the southwest comer of Foothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue (the site of previously appmved Conditional Use Permit 91-24) in the Induslrial Park District (Subarea 7) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan. ABSTRACT: The pml3ose of this workshop is to review modifications that have been made to particular aspects of the above noted Conditional Use Permit. After review at the workshop, the project will be forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and final approval at a public hearing. BACKGROLrND: Conditional Use Pen'nit 94-26 was reviewed at a Planning Commission workshop on September 14, 1994. The staff report from the workshop, as well as the minutes fxom the meeting, have been included as attachments. Following is a listing of concerns raised by the Planning Commission at the last workshop, as well as the applicant's responses and staffs comments to those responses. A. Location of the ice/roller rink in relationship to the parking. Response: The entrance to the ice/roller rink has been moved further to the east. The distance to the easterly parking area is now 180 feet, rather than IS0 feet as originally proposed. The City Eng'meer recommends that entrance be moved an additional 100 feet further east. Additionally, a passenger drop off has been proposed. The Engineering Division will accept a drop off bay, but suggests that it be lengthened 100 feet in conjunction with the entrance relocation. B. Possible fence to be located in ~-ont of the entrance to the ice rink in order to deter jaywalkers. Response: The fence option has not been included on the revised plans. The Cit~ Engineer has agreed not to require a fence behind the sidewalk on the south side of Sebastian Way if the developer moves the Ice Rink entrance 100 feet further east than is shown on the site plan received December 13, 1994. This would partially mitigate the Engineering Division's concerns regarding pedestrian jaywalking, but the Commission might wish to consider barrier landscaping on the north side of Sebastian Way to further alleviate the problem. iTEM C PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 94-26 - MASI PARTNERS December 28, 1994 Page 2 C. Screening of service bays for Building One. Response: The number of service bays has been decreased to six and they have been screened with a row of landscaping. ARCHITECTURAL ISSUES: During the last workshop, at the applicant's request, all architectural concerns associated with the ice/roller building were postponed with the agreement that they would be resolved at a later date. Following is a reiteration of staffs initial concerns regarding the architecture of the ice/roller building: A. The speckled slump stone base should be changed to a richer material; possibly the tile that is used elsewhere in the project. A transition should be provided between the secondary material and the primary material. Response: The slump stone material has been upgraded to a natural stone, however, no material sample boards have been supplied at this time. Some type of transition has been provided between secondary and primary materials, but it is not clear what it is. B. Consider raising the height and using more of the secondary accent material at the ice rink entry to create a stronger entry statement and better transition from the parepot. Response: The mount of the enriched secondary bullcling material has been severely decreased by completely eliminating the natural stone on the south elevation and only providing it at the comers of the east and west elevations. The entrance has not been raised to provide a stronger entry statement. C. The south elevation of the ice/roller rink should be modified by deleting or reducing the width of some of the accent materials on the lower portion of the building and placing it along the upper portion of the building so that it will be more visible. Response: As noted above, the secondary material has been completely removed fxom the south elevation, however, it has not been replaced or relocated on the upper portion of the building. D. Indicate if the windows of the ice rink are proposed to be vision glass or spandrel glass. Response: Spandrel glazing will be provided, although no materials sample .board has been provided. There was some discussion on the possibility orthe building's south elevation being used for murals facing the sports complex. This is still a possibility. E. Along the north elevation of the ice/roller rink, the depth of the architectural reliefs appears to be inadequate and the element looks "planted on." Response: Nothing has been done to resolve this concern. pLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 94-26 - MASI PARTNERS December 28, 1994 Page 3 F. Timing of Phase 1 and Phase 2 improvements. Response: The applicant has not submitted any revised phasing plans. Proposed Building Materials: The ice/roller building will be constructed of metal insulated panels. A sample has been provided and will be available at the meeting for the Commission's review. The panels are interlocking and come from the factor7 already sincooed. Seams will be visible, with an 1/8 inch metal strip connecting the panels vertically. The horizontal joints can be controlled in terms of the width and could appear as a reveal line. Site Plan/Parking: A. A parking study was reviewed and commented on for the original ice/roller proposal. The basic premise and methodology of this study was accepted by staff. The revised rink has increased in size. Revisions to the study to allow for the increase in size were faxed to the Planning Division on the aRemoon of December 15. Staff has not had the oppommity to review the adequacy of the study. B. Handicapped stalls have still been provided on the north side of the Theater Building (25) which is not conveniently located to the enhance on the south side. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that all of the noted issues be addressed by the Commission and direction given to staff and the applicant.

ABSTRACT: This workshop is a design review of proposed nDdtftcatious to the previously approved Conditional Use Permit 91-24 and Development Review 93-19. The proposed revisions will be reviewed by the Grading and Technical Review Committees on September 20 and 21, respectively, prior to being forwarded to the Planning Commission for approval. BACFaSROUND: Conditional Use Permit 91-24 was approved by the City Council on September 2, 1992. This application included the Master Site Plan and a mix. of 32 industrial, multi-tenant, and restaurant uses. Additionally, Development Review 93-19 waS approved by the Planning Commission on January 12, 1994. This approval was specifically for Buildings 5, ~4, 15, and 16. ANALYSIS: The currank proposal has several components which should be reviewed by the Planning Commission: A. Buildings 18 and ~9/Ice/Roller Rink: The location of the ice/roller rink in relationship to the parking for this facility is of concern to the Planning and Engineering Divisions, COnsider Changing the location of the ma~n entrance to two entrances on the east and west sides of the building. If this is not feasible then consider reducing the depth of the .building and providing a specific drop-off area in front of the main' entrance. If this is not possible, the Engineering Division has suggested installation of a fence or wall behind the sidewalk on the south side of the street to mitigate jaywalking and/or drop-offs and pick-ups at the front of the building. pLANNING CO~4ISSION WORKSHOP CU~ 94-26 - MASI PARTNEFa September 14, 1994 Page 2 2. The speckled slump stone base on the ice/roller rink building should be changed to a richer material; possibly the tile material which has been used elsewhere on the project site. Also, a transition should be provided between the secondary material and the primary material. (See Building 25 for example.) 3. Consider raising the height and using more of the secondary accent n~terial at the ice rink entry to create a stronger entry statement and better transition from parapet height of Building 4. The south elevation of the ice/roller rink should be modified by deleting or reducing the width of some of the accent material on the lower portion of the building and placing it along the upper portion of the building so that it will be more visible- 5. Indicate if the windows of the ice rink are proposed to be vision glass or spandxel glass- 6.Along the north elevation of the ice/roller rink, the depth of the area appears to be inadequate and the element looks "planted on." 7. What is the timing of the Phase 1 and Phase 2 portions of the ice/roller rink? If a blank wall is left in the interim, some type of landscape screening shall be provided until Phase 2 is completed. B. Site Plan/Parkin~: 1. A parking study was reviewed for the original ice/roller rink submittal. Revisions must be made to the study which address the larger size of this facility. The revised parking study for the expanded and relooated ice/roller rink has not bean submitted. 2. The location of the handicapped stalls on the north (beck) side of the theater building does not appear to meet Title 24 ADA accessibility requirements and they are not conveniently located to the entrance. C. Bulldin~ 1: 1. The n-mher of service beys has been increased to eight. A dense row of shrubs and trees should be planted in the planter area east of the parking stalls in order to screen views into the work area. D. General: 1. Generally, the architecture of the proposed buildings is consistent with the architecture which has already bee approve& for the center. However, a detail of the rectangular element above the entries should be provided. It is not clear how deep the recess is, if it is to be painted another color, or if it is a tile element. pLANNING C0~4ISSION WORKSHOP CUP 94-26 - MASI PARTNERS September 14, 1994 Page 3 RECO~4ENDATION: Staff recomends that the item be approved with the noted modifications and forwarded to the Planning Comission for final approval.

John DePrenza, Masi Partners, confirmed they understood that already approved conditional use parmlt applications site will require m~dification. He cmnted the parking study will he addressed at a later date. ice/roller rink and the seimrate entrances suggested by the PInning Division are not fensiDle. He felt the fence requested by the Engineering Division not stop ~ay~alkers, but he expressed a willingness directed to do so. He suggested an alternative weuXd be t~ provide a pedestrian crossing across Sebastian Drive with signal lights and a ~arked crosswalk. He stated they would also like to explore the possibility of a walkway to the Sports c~eplex. He also reported their team had consulted with Q.-, q"'A'T't'ff_,,H toT VSC in Pasadena regarding utilization of the two rinks. He indicated that the roller surface would be first to be completed with the ice rink surface to follow. Seating capacity will be up to 2,500 in bleachers. He acknowledged the 10-parking space shortfall for the roller rink parking and agreed to adjust the parking layout to pick up the additional 10 spaces. Commissioner Melther commented that he thought the applicant was trying to design "fixes" for a site plan that does not work any more. Mr. DeFrenza stated the ice roller rink is to be constructed of insulated metal panels. He stated it is essentially a Butler building with a stucco finish. He also noted that they may have to approach the City about a non-buildable easement on the Adult Sports Complex in order to build the building as proposed. Brad Buller, City Planner, suggested that the applicant make contact with the Park Development staff and the city council soon regarding the possible need for · eoe-buildable easement. Mr. DeFrenza indicated that he would submit material samples. He rec]ueated that any discussion of the architecture be postponed, since the ice/roller rink will have to be redesigned anTday to acccxm~odate concerns with the orientation of the entry. The theater and the on-site parking distribution for the theater use wee discussed. Mr. DeFrenza indicated that 1/3 of the required parking for the theater is located to the north of the building (away from the entrance) and 2/3 is located to the south of the building (adjacent to the main entrance). The Commission determined this layout of parking wee acceptable for the theater but noted that the parking layout, count, and orientation for the roller rink was still an issue. It was the consensus of the Commission that the architecture for ell the other buildings was acceptable as submitted excluding the roller rink building. The applicant was directed to return with revisions to the architecture of the ice/roller rink which should include · redssign end telstation of the entry and changes to the front of the building to poasibiy include a fence to deter Jaywalkers. The revisions shall ~e reviewed at I Planning Omission workshop prior to a final Planning Ccx~nilsion hearing. Revised plans shall be submitted two weeks prior to the workshop date. ~JOU~NTt The workshop adjourned at 12:50 a.m. Respectfully submitted, / Secretary PC Adjourned Minutes -2- Sept~r 14, 1994
