DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 93-13 - WESTERN PROPERTIES - The design review of
elevations for Buildings X and & within the Terra vista Town Center,
located at the northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Haven Avenue -
APN: 1077-421-70.
Nancy Fong, Senior Planner, presented the staff report.
Tom Bond, Architects Pacifica, architect for Western Properties, described to
the Commission the changes he had made to buildings X and Y.
Commissioner Vallette stated that both buildings need to have additional
architectural embellishments such as stone treatment around arches, windows,
etc., similar to the approved elevations.
Commissioner Tolstoy remarked that the west elevation of building X still
looked like the back side of a building.
Commissioner Melcher felt that this west elevation was acceptable.
Chairman McNiel agreed with Commissioner Tolstoy#s comment on the west
elevation.
Commissioner Melcher questioned whether the proposed location of the trash
enclosure area is appropriate so close to Foothill Boulevard.
Mike Lasley, Western Properties, stated the locations is shown on the original
approved plans.
Commissioner Tolstoy asked if the parking next to the trash enclosure will be
for loading and unloading.
Mike Lasley indicated that they can stripe the parking spaces next to the
trash enclosure area as a loading space.
Brad Buller, City Planner, suggested the Commission make a decision on
Buildings X and Y. He suggested the Commission could come to a consensus to
approve Building Y and to bring Building X back for another workshop. He
pointed out that the Commission should provide direction to staff and the
applicant regarding whether the proposed sign location for Leaps and Bounds at
the south elevation of building Y is acceptable. He observed the approved
sign program allows the sign to be located at the facia instead of the parapet
wall.
The consensus of the Commission was that the elevation for Building Y is
acceptable. The majority of the Commission felt that the elevation for
Building X needs improvement.
Motion: Moved by Melcher, seconded by Vallette, carried 4-0-1 with Chitiea
absent, to approve the revised elevations of Building Y; to direct the
applicant to revise and resubmit Building X for Commission review at a future
workshop; to find the sign location on the parapet wall of the south elevation
of Building Y acceptable, so long as there is only one tenant, however, sign
placement to revert to the facia (lower sign band area) consistent with the
approved sign program when two or more tenants occupy the building; and to
provide that all secondary issues identified in the August 11, 1993, staff
report be approved by the City Planner.
