DESIGN REVIEW DRC2017-01023 — JEFFREY DEMURE + ASSOCIATES — A proposal to
demolish three existing single-family residences and accessory structures and develop a two-story
residential care facility totaling 88,896 square feet with 79 assisted living units and 26 memory care
units,with a total of 115 beds on a 3.11 acre site located within the Low(L) Residential District south
of and abutting 19th Street, approximately 400 feet west of Amethyst Avenue at 941719th Street--
APNs: 0202-061-05 and 0202-061-49. Related Files: Conditional Use Permit DRC2017-01024 and
Tree Removal Permit DRC2017-01022. This project is categorically exempt from the requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA guidelines under CEQA
section 15332 — In-Fill Development Projects.
Site Characteristics: The project site is comprised of two parcels totaling 3.11 acres and is located
along the south side of 19th Street, approximately 400 feet west of Amethyst Avenue. The site
contains a total of three single-family residences and accessory structures and has street
improvements along 19th Street, including street, curb, gutter, landscaped parkway and sidewalk.
The site also currently contains onsite and perimeter block walls and wooden fences.There is a 22-
foot grade difference,which generally slopes from the northwest corner to the southeast corner of
the site. The existing Land Use, General Plan and Zoning Designations for the project site and
adjacent properties are as follows:
Land Use General Plan Zoning
Site Single-Family Residences Low Residential Low (L) Residential District
Sunlit Gardens Assisted Living
North Medium
Facility and multi-family Residential Medium (M) Residential District
residential condominiums
South Single-Family Residences Low Residential Low (L) Residential District
East Single-Family Residences Low Residential Low (L) Residential District
West Single-Family Residences Low Residential Low (L) Residential District
Project Details: The project involves demolishing three existing onsite residences and accessory
structures and constructing a 115-bed assisted living facility,which is a conditionally permitted use
within the Low(L) Residential District.The facility will consist of a single multi-level building centrally
located on the project site, 50 off-street parking spaces, two points of ingress/egress along 19th
Street with drive aisles surrounding the building, and perimeter and parking lot landscaping.
The project proposes an 88,896 square foot building with a lot coverage of 30.79 percent and a
maximum building height of 34 feet ,10 inches. The building will be setback 83 feet from the face of
curb on the south side of 19th Street, 52 feet from the easterly property line, 54 feet from the
southerly property line, and 48 feet from the westerly property line. The building has a Craftsman
bungalow style of architecture and will incorporate concrete roof tile, brick veneer, painted
cementitious horizontal and shake siding, pre-finished"wood look"metal siding, painted stucco walls
and decorative doors and windows. Per the floor plans (Sheets A-2 through A-4),the building has a
22,435 square foot lower"walk-out"level, a 41,716 square foot main floor, which will be accessible

from the main entrance at the north end of the building, and a 24,745 square foot upper floor. The
plans also show that the facility will have 79 assisted living units and 26 memory care units with a
total of 115 beds, a main lobby, bistro, theater, mail room, family and group dining rooms, two
interior courtyard areas, administrative offices, two elevators, card and activity rooms, and various
storage rooms.
The project proposes a total of 50 off-street parking spaces. Of these, there are 20 guest parking
spaces located north of the building, along 19th Street, near the covered drop-off area adjacent to
the main entrance. This includes 2 handicap spaces and 2 electric vehicle parking spaces. There
are also 9 employee parking spaces along the south side of the building and 21 employee parking
spaces southeast of the building, at the rear of the site.Vehicular access to the site is provided via
two points of ingress/egress, which are located along 19th Street at the northwest and northeast
corners of the site. Decorative stamped paving is proposed at both drive entrances as well as at the
covered drop off area. The project contains a private drive aisle that surrounds the building and
provides access to the off-street parking spaces throughout the site, drop-off area at the main
entrance and trash pickup and service area at the southwest corner of the building, Additionally,
outdoor lighting is proposed throughout the parking lot, throughout the pedestrian walkways and
along the exterior walls of the building. Per the Exterior Lighting Exhibit (Sheet LT-1), the outdoor
light poles are 15 feet in height, the walkway lights are 18 inches in height and the wall sconces are
7 feet in height.
Landscape planters are provided throughout the project site and will cover 26,670 square feet of the
project area (19.68 percent).A landscape planter ranging in width from 5 to 6 feet is provided along
the east, west and south property lines of the project site. The applicant proposes to plant various
types of Evergreen trees as well as ground cover throughout these planters, which will provide
screening for the adjacent residential properties.The average landscape setback along 19th Street
is 36 feet, 6 inches. Within this landscape area there will be a combination of 15-gallon as well as
24, 36, and 48-inch trees, 1, 5, and 15-gallon shrubs, and several different types of ground cover.
There are landscape planters around the perimeter of the north, south, east and west sides of the
building and landscaping with pavers and amenities within the two courtyards. Per the conceptual
landscape plan, all of the proposed trees, shrubs and groundcover have low to medium water
usage.
The site currently contains onsite and perimeter block walls and wooden fences. The project
proposes the removal of all onsite and perimeter wood fencing-as well as an 8-foot long, 6-foot tall
block wall along 19th Street.A 6-foot tall block wall will be installed along the property line in place of
the wood fencing. Because of the grade difference onsite from the northwest to the southeast
corner, retaining walls are proposed throughout the project, which generally range in height from
approximately 6 inches to 4 feet, 6 inches.
Staff Comments:
The current configuration of revised plans reflects comments from the City related to the initial layout
of the project site from the January 2, 2018 Submittal(Exhibit A-Site Plan, Exhibit B-Elevations, and
Exhibit C-Roof Plan/Building Sections),which eliminated a previously proposed 12-foot tall retaining
wall, reduced the height and overall massing of the proposed building, reduced the elevation of the
proposed drive aisle and created additional landscaping along the project's perimeter.Without these
changes, the project would have required a Variance for the height of the building and the project

DESIGN REVIEW DRC2017-00448--JARY COCKROFT FOR BIANE FAMILY PROPERTIES—A
request to construct a personal and recreational vehicle storage facility on 3.81 acres of land in the
General Industrial (GI) District, on the south side of 8th Street,west of Hermosa Avenue, located at
10013 8th Street — APN: 0209-201-20. Related Files: Conditional Use Permit DRC2018-00459.
Staff has prepared an Addendum to a previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration for
consideration.
Background: On January 22, 2014, the Planning Commission approved an Environmental
Assessment and Development Review (DRC2007-00951) and Tree Removal Permit (DRC2013-
00475) for a request to modify the Biane Winery, a complex comprised of 15 buildings/structures
and three single-family residences located on two parcels with a combined area of 10.41 acres by
demolishing the existing Bottling Plant/Warehouse and Dry Wine Bottling Room, constructing an
industrial warehouse building of 122,304 square foot and removing 24 trees. The property owner,
Biane Family Properties, has since revised their project and will not be demolishing any portion of
the winery building and is now proposing to develop a personal and recreational vehicle storage
facility to be located within the southwest corner of the site.
Site and Surrounding Land Uses: The project site, a 3.81 acre parcel, is located along the south
side of 8th Street, approximately 1,200 feet west of Hermosa Avenue, at 10013 8th Street. The
subject parcel is one of two parcels that make up an industrial complex that currently contains 15
buildings/structures and two single-family residences. In addition to the onsite structures, the
complex also contains an outdoor storage area along the rear(southern) perimeter of the property.
Vehicular access is provided to the complex via two ingress/egress points along 8th Street. The
existing Land Use, General Plan and Zoning Designations for the project site and adjacent
properties are as follows:
Land Use General Plan Zoning
Undeveloped Land, Single-
Site Family Residences and General Industrial General Industrial (GI) District
Outdoor Vehicle Storage
North Burlington Northern Santa General Industrial General Industrial (GI) District
Fe Railway
South Industrial Logistics Building General Industrial General Industrial (GI) District
East Industrial Warehouses and General Industrial General Industrial (GI) District
Single-Family Residence
West Industrial Warehouses General Industrial General Industrial (G1) District
Project Details: The applicant is proposing to construct a personal and recreational vehicle storage
facility on 3.81 acres of land.The project includes three buildings(A, B, and C) consisting of 38,904
square feet of personal storage space that will contain a total of 297 units.The project also includes
95 recreational vehicle and boat storage spaces in three different sizes.A 455 square foot office is
proposed adjacent to the entry gate to the proposed storage facility.
The personal and recreational vehicle storage facility is proposed to be setback 195 feet from the
property line along 8th Street and southwest of the existing Biane Winery buildings.A direct point of
access is provided by an existing driveway from 8th Street on the west side of the property. The
driveway, which is surrounded by landscaping, leads to the north elevation of the facility where the

office, three guest parking stalls and a 7-foot tall black tubular steel entrance gate are proposed.
The project is required to provide 32 parking stalls and 32 parking stalls are proposed. The parking
stalls are proposed throughout the project site in different areas to accommodate the different
locations for the storage units. Within the project, drive aisles ranging from 26 to 40 feet, provide
access to the personal and the recreational vehicle storage spaces.Additionally, a 6-foot tall swing
gate is provided for emergency vehicle access at the southeast corner of the site.
The existing Biane Winery building (bottling plant/warehouse adjacent to 8th Street) has historic
significance since it is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places as a good
example of the Mission Revival architectural style as applied to a winery. The proposed storage
facility is designed with this in mind and includes design elements that are compatible with the
existing buildings on-site.All the proposed building elevations have been designed to be compatible
with the existing buildings on-site; however, the blue accent colors listed below were selected to
differentiate the proposed project from the existing buildings in an effort to avoid any false sense of
history or associations.
Building A, which has a maximum height of 17 feet, is partially screened from view by landscaping
along the west property line and along 8th Street. The north (street facing) elevation is 20 feet wide
and has a multi-level, low pitched shed roof with narrow eaves and dark blue metal coping. The
exterior walls are clad with antique brick veneer and there are decorative arch details with cream
colored stucco above the main entry door and window. The other elevations include cream colored
stucco walls with dark blue accents and blue faux doors with grey/brown arched surrounds (west
elevation).
Building B, which has a maximum height of 13 feet, is the largest of the three buildings and is "L"
shaped. The north elevation is partially screened from view from 8th street by a large landscaped
area and the winery's bottling plant and warehouse. It has an antique brick veneer clad trash
enclosure partially flanked by landscaped planters.A very low-pitched gable roof sheathed with dark
blue metal panels surmounts the storage building. The north elevation of the storage building has
cream colored stucco walls, dark blue metal coping and four decorative blue faux doors with
grey/brown arched surrounds. The other elevations, which will likely not be visible from the public
right-of-way, include cream colored stucco walls, dark blue storage unit doors (south and west
elevations) and blue faux doors with.arched surrounds (east elevation).
Building C, which has a maximum height of 15 feet, is the smallest building and is located behind,
and south of Building A, and is screened from view by landscaping along the western property line. It
is rectangular in shape and has a very low-pitched shed roof with a parapet, cream colored stucco
walls, a dark blue accent band above dark blue storage doors (east elevation) and faux windows
with arched surrounds (west elevation).
The project has landscaping proposed along the northern property perimeter which includes
vineyards, trees and plants. The project site is required to have a minimum of 16,588 square feet
(10%)of landscaping and the applicant is providing 20,979 square feet of landscaping.All walls will
be decorative split face screen walls, except for a wrought iron fence on the east perimeter of the
project site which will not be visible from public view and is needed for emergency vehicle access.

DESIGN REVIEW DRC2018-00119 -- OVERTON MOORE PROPERTIES — The proposed
development of a 174,745 square foot industrial warehouse building on 8.09 acres in the General
Industrial (GI) District, at the southwest corner of Hellman Avenue and Eighth Street, located at
9000 Hellman Avenue; APN: 0209-151-36. Staff is reviewing a Mitigated Negative Declaration
prepared per State CEQA Guidelines for consideration of environmental impacts.
Site Characteristics: The project site is within the General Industrial (GI) District, located at the
southwest corner of Hellman Avenue and Eighth Street. The site is fully developed as a storage
and equipment repair facility for Frontier Communications. Although there are several small
structures on-site, the entire site is paved and is used for vehicle parking and the outside storage
of various communication related materials. There is no landscaping on-site, except for a small
area of approximately 640 square feet adjacent to Hellman Avenue, near the southeast corner of
the site. This landscaped area includes two trees. Both trees are in declining health and neither
meet the criteria to be considered a Heritage tree.The project site is relatively flat, with an average
north-south slope of approximately 1.2%. The existing site is surrounded on all sides by chain-
link fencing. The existing Land Use, General Plan and Zoning Designations for the project site
and adjacent properties are as follows:
