The property is zoned C-1 (Retail Commercial) and is improved with the freestanding restaurant, parking and landscaping. The proposal does not include any expansion or change in use for the restaurant; therefore, the project's architectural design is the primary focus, of the review. ARCHITECTURE The submitted development plans propose embellished elevations for the building including the addition of raised plaster parapets, mullion windows with shutters, false windows, window awnings, squared pillars, and a tile roofed tower entrance feature. These new elements are intended to compliment the existing spanish tile mansard on Holt Avenue (front) side of the building and upgrade the presently unattractive rear elevation facing Newport Avenue. The colors proposed for the remodeling include: Off-white for the plaster siding, accented by peach and light grey colors for the entry tower, pillars, and edge details. Light green for the window trim, shutters, awnings, doors and accent tile. Mission tile red for the existing tile mansard. The proposed architectural elements that represent the focus of change in the remodeling are the new entry tower and the refinished facade adjacent to the tower. Entry tower - The proposed two-story entrance tower with false second-story windows and a spanish tile roof is an element typically displayed by restaurants within the Don Jose chain. At staff's request, the applicant has brought this structure into compatibility wi th the existing building by lowering the height, moving its face outward to become even with the buildings front elevation, and providing some vertically oriented parapet elements adjacent to the tower. One change to the entry tower that the applicant has agreed to is to recess the structure inward one foot to allow for small vine planters fronting the bases of the tower's two front pillars. A condition has been included in the resolution of approval requiring this change. The pedestrian entry surface is proposed to be a red color of enriched paving. Refinished facade - the west facing facade between the entry tower and the north ~d~e:°f the building is proposed to be changed from a craftsman-like, heavy rock Community Development Department Redevelopment Agency Report Design Review 88-75- February 21, 1989' Page three wall to a spanish style plaster facade with windows, awnings and detail that is compatible with the remainder of the building.
