HUSTON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: DESIGN REVIEW 91-06 RECOMMENDATION RDA N0. 5 4-1-91 . Inter - Com It is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency adopt Resolution No. RDA 91-08, approving Design Review 91-06. BACKGROUND On March 25, 1991, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2888 approving Conditional Use Permit 91-04 authorizing the establishment of a pre-school to accommodate 59 children in an existing building with related site improvements at the property located at 305 East Main Street. The Commission also adopted Resolution No. 2889 approving Variance 91-06 authorizing the southerly perimeter fence for the play yard to encroach into the front yard setback 10 feet measured from the ultimate right-of-way line. The subject site is zoned CG (Commercial General) and a pre-school is subject to the approval of a conditional use permit which the Planning Commission granted. However, the subject site is located within the Town Center Redevelopment Area; therefore, the final Design Review authority is the responsibility of the Redevelopment Agency. DISCUSSION The submitted plans propose to utilize an existing 2,648 square foot office building and two vacant lots immediately east of the off ice building to establish a pre-school. The applicant proposes tenant improvements in order to accommodate five classrooms and administrative offices for use by the pre-school. Other improvements to the site include a new parking lot providing a total of twelve parking spaces, a play yard area of approximately 9,000 square feet, three 81x 8' wood trellis structures, play yard perimeter fencing and variety of landscaping elements for the site's perimeter and play yard consisting of trees, shrubs, vines, _ flowers and turf. Redevelopment Agency Report Design Review 91-06 April 1, 1991 I Page 2 The exterior of the building is not proposed to be structurally altered, but will receive a new coat of paint that utilizes a pastel color palette. The stucco portion of the building's exterior is proposed as a warm beige and the accent color is proposed to be a coral tone. The building's fascia, wrought -iron fencing and wood trellis structures are proposed to be painted white. Overall, the colors proposed draw from the palette to be utilized in the City Hall expansion as well as compliment the color palette utilized in the Tustin Plaza shopping center to the south across Main Street. A color material board will be available for review at the meeting. In considering the approval of the Design Review, the Agency must find that the location, size, architectural features and general appearance of the proposed development will not impair orderly and harmonious development of the area, or future development of the area. While the applicant's proposal overall could be considered harmonious development, staff is concerned that the three trellis structures being proposed are not complimentary to the existing office building on the site as the trellis structures maintain a different roof pitch. Another reason for a closer review of this element is related to the impacts to future development in the area, that being the Civic Center Expansion. Staff believes that it is important to assure that adjacent development to the Civic Center Expansion project area maintain optimum design elements in order to provide an improved relationship between the sites. The Planning Commission, at their meeting of March 25, 1991, did not find that there was a need to request modification to the three trellis structures. However, as the Agency maintains the final design review authority and because the structures introduce a new permanent feature to the site, staff has included a Condition of Approval in Resolution No. RDA 91-08 requiring the applicant to modify the design to be more compatible with the existing office building on the site and the proposed Civic Center. Expansion project adjacent. . Community Development Department Redevelopment Agency Report Design Review 91-06 I April 1, 1991 Page 3 CONCLUSION Based upon the above analysis and recommendation of the Planning Commission, it is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency adopt Resolution No. RDA 91-08 approving Design Review 91-06 subject to the conditions contained therein.
