Related files: General Plan Amendment DRC2015- 00114, Specific Plan Amendment DRC2015-00040, and Tentative Tract Map SUBTT20073. REVIEW PROCESS: The Pre -Application Review process provides a project proponent with the opportunity to present schematic designs to the Planning Commission prior to formal application submittal, in order to receive broad, general comments and directions. The focus of the meeting is a discussion by the Planning Commissioners regarding the technical and design issues related to the proposed project. The meeting is not a forum for debate and no formal decision or vote is made. After the meeting, Staff prepares general minutes of the meeting, which are provided to the applicant. PROJECT SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND: The project site is part of a property of 160 acres that was formerly developed with the privately owned and operated Empire Lakes Golf Course generally located in the center of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan (the "Specific Plan"). The Specific Plan has an overall area of 347 acres and is generally bound by 4th Street to the south, Milliken Avenue to the east, Cleveland Avenue and Utica Avenue to the west, and 811 Street and the BNSF/Metrolink rail line to the north. The golf course was closed in mid-2016 following the approval by the City Council of amendments to the General Plan, Specific Plan, and Development Code (related files: General Plan Amendment DRC2015-00114, Specific Plan Amendment DRC2015-00040, and Development Code Amendment DRC2015-00115). These amendments were for the purpose of enabling the applicant to develop a new mixed use and transit -oriented project ("Empire Lakes/The Resort") hereafter referred to as "the overall project'. The subject property is bisected into south and north halves by 6th Street. The southern half of it currently consists of three (3) parcels with a combined area of about 84 acres. An application to subdivide it into 26 parcels and one (1) "lettered" lot was submitted by the applicant (related file: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT20073) and is scheduled for review by the Planning Commission Cl—Pg1 PLANNING COMMISSION PRE -APPLICATION REVIEW STAFF REPORT DRC2017-00170 — LEWIS MANAGEMENT CORP. May 24, 2017 Page 2 on June 14, 2017. The specific location of the project site is Parcel #26 (Exhibit C) of this pending subdivision. The subject sitelparcel will have an area of 34.11 acres with a street frontage of about 1,100 feet along 6th Street. It will be bound on the east by the future, north -south primary street ("The Vine") of the overall project. Following the construction of that street, the site/parcel will have a frontage along it of about 2,700 feet. Adjacent to the west side of the site/parcel is a private drive aisle, inaccurately named Cleveland "Avenue", that is located entirely within the neighboring property. The "frontage" along this drive aisle is about 1,460 feet. The existing land uses on, and General Plan land use and zoning designations for, the project site and the surrounding properties (relative to Parcel #26) are as follows: Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Vacant' Mixed Use Mixed Use(Planning Area 1 2 North Vacant (north half of former private golf course) and Industrial Building Mixed Use Mixed Use (Planning Areas 1 and 11)2 South Vacant' Mixed Use Mixed Use(Planning Area 1 2 East Vacant' Mixed Use Mixed Use(Planning Area 1 2 West Office Complex Mixed Use Mixed Use (PlanningAreas 3 and 4 2 1 - artof the south half of former private golf course; 2 - Empire Lakes Specific Plan In addition to the aforementioned subdivision, the applicant is developing the designs for the various elements within The Vine that were generally described in the Specific Plan. They include functional features such as "tabletop" street crossings, roundabouts, and "pocket' parks, and decorative features such as art installations and landscaping. The Vine and these features will be presented to the Planning Commission during a separate, future Pre -Application Review workshop. PROJECT OVERVIEW: A. GENERAL: The applicant proposes a mixed use development that follows the intent of Empire LakeslThe Resort as described in the Specific Plan. The Specific Plan is divided into twenty- four (24) "Placetypes". Eleven (11) Placetypes are located south of 6th Street. The land use characteristics and density of each Placetype are defined by six (6) different designations. The location of the project site (Exhibit D) is generally within Placetypes S-14 (Core Living (CL)), S-15 through S-17 (Village Neighborhood (VN)), and S-24 (Recreational (REC)) (Exhibit E). It is also partially within the Mixed Use Overlay. The project consists of 648 residential units, four (4) commercial tenant spaces, and a private recreation building ("recreation building"). The residential units are as follows: 272 "linear townhomes", 304 "vertical suites' apartments, 70 "small lot duplexes", 2 "small lot homes", and 16 livelwork units. All of the residential units are for rent. The combined floor area of the residential (non-live/work) units will be about 1,130,000 square feet. Each of the live/work units will have a floor area of about 2,400 square feet including the "work" component of the unit. The combined floor area of the live/work units will be 38,400 square feet. The four (4) commercial tenant spaces have a floor area of about 1,200 square feet each for a total of 4,800 square feet. About 400 square feet of each live/work unit will be dedicated to the work component of the unit for a total of 6,400 square feet of non-residential space. The recreation building will have a floor area of about 10,000 square feet. Altogether, the floor area of C1—Pg2 PLANNING COMMISSION PRE -APPLICATION REVIEW STAFF REPORT DRC2017-00170 — LEWIS MANAGEMENT CORP. May 24, 2017 Page 3 commercial and non-residential (public and private) space will be about 21,200 square feet. Overall, the floor area of the project will be about 1,173,400 square feet while the overall density of the project will be about 19 units/acre (648/34.11 acres). B. ARCHITECTURE, BUILDING PLOTTING, AND SITE LAYOUT: The Specific Plan permits various different architectural themes throughout Empire Lakes/The Resort. The applicant has elected to use "Contemporary", 'Industrial', and "Main Street' themes for the project. The elevations indicate that they will use four (4) interpretations of the contemporary theme (referred to as Palm, Malibu, Ocean, and Sunset). Although no elevations/renderings have been provided for the Industrial and Main Street themes, the applicant has indicated that they will provide them during the workshop. The Specific Plan lists several standard characteristics that must be incorporated into the design of any building using these (or any other) architectural themes (Exhibit E) to ensure that the design is consistent with the subject architectural theme. The linear townhomes and live/work components of the project will be three-story units while the small lot duplexes/homes will be two-story units. The vertical suites will be one-story units, i.e. each unit will be on a single floor, but they will be "stacked" within a three-story building. The commercial tenant spaces will be single -story. Half of the live/work units will have roof- top decks. Based on the Site Plan provided by the applicant, the residential units are generally plotted together according to their typology. For example, the linear townhomes are located near the north and west sides of the site while the vertical suites are located near The Vine and interior area of the project site. The live/work units and commercial tenant spaces will be located along The Vine at the roundabout. The buildings along The Vine and the streets within the interior of the project site are plotted such that the primary entrances of the units are accessed directly from the street. The recreation building and associated facilities/amenities will be located at the northeast corner of the site and adjacent to The Vine. With the exception of the leasing office, this facility will be open only to the residents of the project and their guests. Immediately to the north of this facility, at the southwest corner of 6th Street and The Vine, is a potential commercial building and associated parking lot. As the details of the building and the parking lot have not been completed, they will be submitted for review by the City at a later date. The overall floor area of, and the parking calculations for, the project do not include this building. Consistent with the requirements of the Specific Plan, Empire Lakes/The Resort will be an "open community". All streets within the interior of the project will be private, i.e. maintained by a homeowners association. However, these streets will be open to the public (non- residents of the project). Primary vehicular access into the project will be private street connections to The Vine (at the roundabout) and to 6th Street. As the presence of gates and fences will be minimal, external access by pedestrians, bicyclists, etc. generally will be available at a variety of locations. Vehicular and non -vehicular movement throughout the site will not be restricted by gates or fences except, for example, where it is required by Building Code or desired to control access into private spaces and interior parking lots. Distributed throughout the project site are readily accessible open space areas, dog parks, pedestrian pathways, etc. Cl—Pg3 PLANNING COMMISSION PRE -APPLICATION REVIEW STAFF REPORT DRC2017-00170 — LEWIS MANAGEMENT CORP. May 24, 2017 Page 4 C. PARKING: Per Table 7.6 (Parking Standards) of the Specific Plan, residential development of 30 units/acre or less shall provide parking consistent with the requirements described in Table 17.64.050-1 of the Development Code. The parking requirements for the project are: Type of Use Floor Area Number of Parking Ratio Number of SF Units Spaces Required Residential 1,162,000 648 1 Bedroom n/a 251 1.5 per unit 377 2 Bedrooms n/a 381 2 per unit 762 3 Bedrooms n/a 16 2 per unit 32 Commercial' 11,200 n/a 4/1000SF2 452 10/1000SF3 - 1123 Guest/Visitor 648 Parkin n/a 1 per 3 units 216 Recreation n/a Buildin 4 10,000 n/a n/a Total Required 14225 14895 Total Provided 14915 14915 1 - includes the non-residential portion of the live/work units but does not include the retail building at The Vine and 6th Street; 2 - for office and retail uses; 3 - for food service uses; 4 - parking is not required for this building as it will be utilized by the residents and their guests; 5 - subject to change Based on Staff parking calculations and the amount of parking proposed by the applicant, the project complies with the Development Code. However, there is a discrepancy between the parking calculations in the table above and the applicant's parking calculations on Sheet 3 of their plans. Staff will coordinate with the applicant to determine why there are differences between the parking calculations to ensure that the amount of parking that is required and provided is correct. STAFF COMMENTS: Staff comments are provided in the Discussion Outline below. DISCUSSION OUTLINE: Architecture — The Specific Plan permits various different architectural themes throughout Empire Lakes/The Resort. The architecture for the project is presumably still undergoing development. The specific materials, details/trim, and colors that will be used have not been finalized for the architectural themes that are currently proposed. Further enhancements will be required based on the elevations/renderings that were submitted. Staff recommends the addition of some of the other themes described in the Specific Plan in order to broaden the variety and character of the project. As more information and details regarding the architecture are provided, Staff will provide comments/corrections accordingly. Building plotting — One of the design goals for the overall project is an urban streetscape where the buildings functionally and aesthetically "frame' the streets. The applicant has utilized the street setback standards (Exhibit F) described in the Specific Plan to a limited C1—Pg4 PLANNING COMMISSION PRE -APPLICATION REVIEW STAFF REPORT DRC2017-00170 — LEWIS MANAGEMENT CORP. May 24, 2017 Page 5 extent. The buildings along The Vine appear to be about 5 to 10 feet from the property line which is within the minimum and maximum range allowed. However, elsewhere, the buildings are plotted too far, and are all at the same distance, from the street. For example, along the "Collector Streets" (the streets internal to the parcels), the buildings are plotted in excess of the 10 feet maximum setback. Staff acknowledges that the measurement is taken from the property line but as these are interior streets with no property lines, Figure 7.40 of the Specific Plan (Exhibit G) illustrates that the measurement is from the back of sidewalk. Along 6th Street the buildings appear to be in excess of the 20 foot maximum setback. To address these conditions, the buildings should be shifted closer to the street and their distance from the street should be varied within the setback range that is allowed in Table 7.5 of the Specific Plan. Building massing and scale — Because of the plotting and the height of the buildings, there will be no significant variation in building height which impacts the functional and aesthetic "frame" of the streets. This will be particularly noticeable, and critical, along The Vine, 6th Street, and the Collector Streets where the result will be visually monotonous building massing and scale along the streetscape. Revisions such as varying the building typology, periodically varying the roofline and height of the buildings, increasing the height of parapets, and/or adding an additional floor to, for example, the vertical suites will resolve this issue. • Land use mix (residential) — Per Table 7.1 (Development Program) of the Specific Plan (Exhibit H), a maximum of 3,450 units are permitted to be constructed within the overall project. Of this amount, 1,450 units are permitted south of 6th Street. The proposal is for 648 residential units which results in a remainder of 802 residential units that can be constructed south of 6th Street. Land use mix (non-residential) — Per Table 7.1 (Development Program) of the Specific Plan (Exhibit H), a minimum of 50,000 square feet of non-residential uses is required within the Mixed Use Overlay (with a minimum of 20,000 square feet south of 6th Street). As proposed, there will be about 11,200 square feet the amount of floor area dedicated to public non- residential uses. When including the retail building of 5,000 square feet at the southwest corner of the intersection of The Vine and 6th Street, there will about 16,200 square feet. The remainder of the required non-residential floor area (3,800 square feet) will have to be fulfilled in Placetype S-18 or within the future development of the Placetypes on the east side of The Vine. Gates/fences — It appears there is a fence along the south side of the project site separating it from Placetype S-18. The fence at this location is contrary to the open community intent of the Specific Plan and will need to be removed to maximize inter -connectivity throughout the overall project. REQUIRED ENTITLEMENTS: The proposed project will require the following entitlements (minor applications are not listed): 1. Design Review - $10,515; 2. Environmental Assessment, Initial Study - $2,853; and 3. Uniform Sign Program - $2,186 C1—Pg5 PLANNING COMMISSION DRC2017-00170 — LEWIS May 24, 2017 Page 6 PRE -APPLICATION REVIEW STAFF REPORT MANAGEMENT CORP.

The development's setting is a portion of the former Empire Lakes Golf Course, which has been closed and will be redeveloped as a planning area within the Empire Lakes Specific Plan (aka Planning Area I -Mixed Use Infill Area, IASP Sub -Area 18:Section 7). The site will be sheet graded along with the rest of the master plan beginning in June, with installation of master infrastructure improvements following after. The proposed changes to the then vacant site will be to create a mixed use plan incorporating a) an approximately 630 unit lifestyle multifamily residential community; b) a 5K square foot retail pad; c) 5K of other commercial uses that are structurally integrated with d) 16 live/work units. The proposed land uses and how they are justified under the applicable zoning regulations. The proposed development is consistent and complies with all current land use regulations and requests no amendments, exceptions, or variances. Compatibility. Discuss the location, size, design and operating characteristics of the proposed land uses and how they will not create unusual noise, traffic or other conditions that may be objectionable or detrimental with other permitted uses in the vicinity. Describe how the proposed project would "fit" into the surrounding context. The development complies with the PAI Specific Plan Amendment adopted in 2016. As such, the development's uses have already been analyzed in context with the office/industrial uses existing on its western boundary, and those that are planned on its eastern and southern boundaries. Furthermore, the adjacent parcels within PAI are owned by an affiliate of the developer, so coordination in all aspects of planning has been underway for several years. As opposed to "fit" and "compatibility", the development is designed to wholly integrate and add synergistic value among its parts. Additionally, pedestrian connectivity designed for the public and planned into the development, consistent with PAI's guiding document, will enhance value for those working in the office parks along the western boundary. They will have the option to rent or own a home in The Resort, enjoy recreational amenities built into the master plan, and frequent the retail establishments that will be distributed throughout the area. These employees will have the possibility of enjoying a live -work -play lifestyle that reduces vehicular traffic. These same benefits would also accrue to residents who elected to live in the development but commute via the Metrolink station located north of 7t^ Street. EXHIBIT B C1—Pg8 Page 1 1 List any particular questions or design elements you desire Commission comments upon. Our planning efforts have focused on ensuring we meet all land use and planning guidelines that resulted from the analyses associated with the PAI Specific Plan adoption. As such, we are requesting this Pre -Application Review primarily to hear the Commission's feedback as it relates to a conventional Development Review, while also providing notice that this community is in processing and that we are available to discuss ideas and thoughts at any time. Furthermore, although we intend to map and construct the horizontal improvements associated with the 5K retail pad at the corner of 6th and The Vine during Phase I of construction, our plan is that the design review for the building would occur as a separate, later process. However, the 5K of commercial footage and live/work units are intended to be part of this review and would be constructed with the first half in Phase 1 and the second in Phase 2, per our current plan. Key areas we would appreciate the Commission's feedback on include the: 1. Integration of mixed uses; 2. Site plan and its connectivity to adjacent users (existing and planned); 3. Development's achievement of the goals within the adopted Specific Plan; 4. The conceptual architecture and its contemporary forms; 5. Amenities, trails, circulation; 6. Project's phasing and construction timing; 7. Any other feedback not'listed above that can help us bring a successful development application forward once we have a submittal deemed complete by Staff.
