HUSTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: DESIGN REVIEW 89-57 :DEVELOPMENT AGENCY NO. 4 6/4/90 Inter - Com RECOMMENDATION 1. Certify the Negative Declaration as adequate for the project by adoption of Resolution No. 90-06, as submitted or revised. 2. Approve Design Review 89-57 by the adoption of Resolution No. 90-07, as submitted or revised. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION Applicant: Home Savings of America Location: 18356 Irvine Boulevard Zoning: C-1 Commercial The applicant proposes to construct a 12,200 square foot, two- story savings and loan building with a drive-thru teller and automatic teller machine. The project site is .966 acre and bounded by Irvine Boulevard and Newport Avenue. The subject site is located in the Town Center Redevelopment Agency Area, and is surrounded by a restaurant and professional office buildings to the south and commercial uses to the north, northwest and east. SITEIPROJECT DESCRIPTION Submitted development plans propose location of the savings and loan building on the northwest portion of the site. As designed, the building maintains an approximate 240 foot rear setback and a 20 foot front setback. Entrances to the building are proposed in the front and back, offering accessibility from both the parking lot and Irvine Boulevard. The automatic teller machine and the drive -up teller window are proposed for the west and east sides of the building respectively. The parking is proposed to be located to the rear,of the building, utilizing the southern portion of the project site. Landscape Redevelopment Agency Report Design Review 89-57 June 4, 1990 Page 2 setbacks of 12 feet are proposed to buffer the view of parking stalls from Newport Avenue. The parking required for banks is based on the ratio of one space for every 250 square feet of floor area. The project complies by providing 41 standard spaces (including 2 handicapped) and 7 compact spaces. Access to the project site is proposed from a 25 foot wide driveway on Irvine Boulevard and a 30 foot wide driveway on Newport Avenue. The drive -up teller window is accessible from both Irvine Boulevard and Newport Avenue. As designed the drive-thru lane provides 100 feet for queuing and exits onto Irvine Boulevard with a "right turn only" sign. This design is adequate and no on-site circulation conflicts are anticipated. Concerns identified by the Public Works Department in the Design Review process focused on off-site circulation. The entrance and exit points on the site are all "rir_,ht turn only" due to the existing medians on Newport Avenue and Irvine Boulevard. Due to the present traffic load on both Irvine Boulevard and Newport Avenue, the Public Works Department did not recommend permitting left turns. In addition, the Public Works Department suggested denying the curb cut on Newport Avenue due to the present bikeway. However, this will restrict access to the site except for cars travelling eastbound on Irvine Boulevard. For this reason, the applicant has requested that the Newport Avenue entrance driveway be permitted. ARCHITECTURE As illustrated on the attached plans, the proposed architecture of the building is generally consistent with the surrounding area, which conforms with the Town Center Redevelopment Agency Plan. The architecture includes elements of the early California Mediterranean style. The proposed building height is 35 feet and the drive -up teller canopy is 13 feet which conform to the C-1 requirements. The proposed wall treatment has a smooth trowel finish in an adobe color. The roof treatment proposed is peach colored clay tiles. A gold tile band is proposed below the cornice. Proposed window treatments are 14" glass in aluminum frames in a pink -rose color. Architectural issues identified by staff in the Design Review process concern the proposed gold band trim and mural. The Community Development Department Redevelopment Agency Report Design Review 89-57 June 4, 1990 Page 3 proposed mural is approximately 144 square feet located on the front elevation. Staff does not recommend the gold band trim or the use of gold in the mural as they are inconsistent with the style predominant in Tustin. Staff suggests using a tile treatment on the mural in colors that are consistent with and compatible to the Early California architectural style. This is a treatment that Home Savings has employed on other newer facilities in Southern California. SIGNAGE Proposed signage for the project consists of 2 wall signs (on north and south facing elevations) and a monument sign along -Newport Avenue. The project also proposes directional signs for "Right Turn Only", "Do Not Enter", "No Left Turn", and "Drive -Up Teller". The wall sign on the north (front) elevation contains 20" reverse channel letters painted dark bronze with indirect white illumination on the wall. Also proposed is a 4' x 6' non - illuminated Home Savings shield. The maximum sign area permitted is 64 square feet including the shield. The rear (south) elevation wall sign is the same design and color with a maximum sign area of 25 square feet. The proposed monument sign is 6' high, 22 square feet per face with a textcoat finish, painted to match sandstone color. Pursuant to the Tustin Sign Code, all proposed signs are in compliance. LANDSCAPING The applicant is proposing a variety of trees, shrubs, flowers and groundcover throughout the site to add interest and color to the project site. Staff views landscaping design of the project as a key element in ensuring a quality aesthetically pleasing project. Several varieties of palm trees are proposed which will be commensurate with the style and scale of the project. In addition, there is an assortment of shrubs (some flowering) along Newport Avenue which will buffer the view of the parking lot. Ground cover includes turf and bougainvillea. As submitted, the project design includes landscape setbacks along the perimeter of the project. Community Development Department Redevelopment Design Review June 4, 1990 Page 4 Agency Report 89-57 While a landscape plan has been provided, it is only illustrative and will be refined at plan check. CONCLUSION Staff has reviewed the major issues associated with this project and have determined that the proposed project is in conformance with the City's requirements. With the conditions referenced in the attached resolution, staff recommends that the Redevelopment Agency certify the Negative Declaration as being adequate and approve Design Review 89-57, subject to the findings and conditions of Resolution No. 90-07. i L l l t"l v{,•' � �" I Beth Schoemann Associate Planner BS:CAS:kbc Christine A.

Determination (To be completed by the Lead Agency) On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measure described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED I find the proposed on the environment, is required. MAY 10, 1990 Date project MAY have a significant effect and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT Signature X EXHIBIT A INITIAL STUDY RESPONSES FOR DESIGN REVIEW 89-57 Section I - Background The applicant, Home Savings of America, proposes to construct a 12,200 square foot bank building at 18356 Irvine Boulevard. The project site is located in the C-1 Retail Commercial Zoning District. Also, the project site is located in the Town Center Redevelopment Area thus requiring approval by the Redevelopment Agency. 1. Earth Items A, C, D, - "No": The project site is currently flat and does not contain any substantial geologic features based upon field verification. The proposed building layout and conceptual grading plan call for minimal movement of existing soil which will not constitute a basis for making any geologic changes to ground surface relief features. All on-site grading activities will be conducted in accordance with City codes and requirements and verified by the Building Official. Sources: Field verification Proposed site plan and Conceptual Grading Plan Tustin Municipal Code Uniform Building Code Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Plan check and inspections through Building Division. Items B, E, - "Maybe": This property is located in Seismic Zone 4, therefore could be impacted by regional geologic conditions. There will be a minor change in the topography and compaction of the soil during on-site grading activities. All on-site grading activities will be conducted in accordance with City codes and requirements and verified by the Building Official. Sources: Field verification Proposed Site Plan and Conceptual Grading Plan Tustin Municipal Code Uniform Building Code Mitigation/Monitoring Reguired: Apply conditions of approval to proposed Resolution for Design Review 89-57 to require: 1) Erosion Control Plan and 2) Verification of adequacy of control to be completed by Building Inspector during grading and foundation Exhibit A Initial Study Responses Design Review 89-57 Page 2 inspections. Item F - "No": Based on the site location in relation to any streams, rivers and flood control channels, it is not anticipated that this project will substantially contribute to erosion problems to local water bodies. The site is relatively flat and therefore would not be subject to any land or mudslide activities. Source: City of Tustin Zoning Map City of Tustin General Plan Mitigation/Monitoring Required: None Item G - "Maybe": Because the project site is located in Seismic Zone 4, the exposure to geologic hazards such as earthquakes and ground failures exists. The property is not located in an Alquist/Priolo special study zone, but the site could be impacted by regional geologic conditions. Source: Uniform Building Code City of Tustin General Plan City of Tustin Zoning Map Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Apply conditions of approval to require construction to be pursuant to Seismic Zone 4 standards as identified in the Uniform Building Code and City of Tustin Codes to requirements. 2. AIR Items A through C - "No": The proposed project is not considered a substantial contributor to air emissions and is not subject to specific regulation by the Air Quality Management District as a stationary source of air pollution. The project is proposed as a bank use and does not propose to use or maintain substantial quantities of materials that will create objectionable odors. The project is an "in -fill" project and will therefore not have a significant impact on the climate, or pose alterations in the movement of, moisture, or temperature of the air. The project will however incrementally contribute to regional air quality degradation. The City of Tustin will be implementing those control measures of the Air Quality Management Plan, applicable to local governments, which addresses activities which will reduce air pollutants. Exhibit A Initial Study Responses Design Review 89-57 Page 3 Sources: Air Quality Management District Standards Project site and description Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The applicant will be required to comply with all Air Quality Management District requirements. Monitoring is conducted by the AQMD for compliance with their requirements. 3. WATER Items A, C, D, E, F, G, H, I - "No": As noted in the discussion in Item #1 (Earth) above, the project site is not located adjacent to or in the vicinity of any large water bodies or exposed flood control channels. Therefore, it is not anticipated that the project will have an effect on currents, quality, or courses of water. Sources: City of Tustin Grading and Drainage Requirements Tustin Zoning Map Proposed Site, Grading and Elevation Plan Monitoring/Mitigation Required: City of Tustin to apply standard conditions of approval on Design Review to require conformance with City Grading and Drainage Requirements. Item B - "Maybe": The proposed project will add a substantial amount of impervious surface area to the site which will significantly change absorption rates, drainage patterns and surface runoff. In addition, the proposed project will utilize existing water, thus creating a reduction in the amount of water otherwise available for public water supplies. Sources: Proposed Site and Grading Plan Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Apply standard conditions of approval on Design Review to require conformance with City Grading and Drainage Requirements. 4. PLANT LIFE Items A, B, C, D, - "No": The project is a vacant lot surrounded by commercial development. No rave or endangered species are known to exist on the property. Some existing plant materials will be removed, however, and replaced with plant palette noted on plans. Exhibit A Initial Study Responses Design Review 89-57 Page 4 Sources: Site Field Inspection City Records Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Plan Check shall ensure that said plant materials proposed are implemented into project design. 5. ANIMAL LIFE Items A through D - "No": Based on review of City records and site field investigation, there are no known endangered or rare species known to inhabit the project site. Also, uses surrounding the property greatly limit the type, number and longevity of any substantial animal species which would inhabit the site. Sources: City Records Site Plan Field Inspection Aerial Photograph of Site Mitigation/Monitoring Required: None 6. NOISE Items A - "Yes": Due to the fact that the site is presently vacant, occupation of the site will naturally increase existing noise levels. As there is commercial development immediately adjacent to the project site, increased noise levels will not be considered significant. Due to the proposal of a drive -up window to conduct bank business, a sound study was conducted to evaluate the impact of the output sound level of the speaker equipment proposed to be utilized. The study simulated the bank drive -up situation and received a reading of less than 50 dB. As the observers spoke the reader varied between 40 and 50 dB. The background noise varied at approximately 35 dB. These readings are well within the noise standards of the Municipal Code which allow a reading of 60 dB for commercial districts. Short term noise impacts will be present during the construction phases with temporary increased noise levels. To avoid possible noise impacts, construction activities will be limited under the Tustin Noise Ordinance to reduce impacts to a level of insignificance. Construction activities are only permitted between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Exhibit A Initial Study Responses Design Review 89-57 Page 5 Sources: Proposed Site Plan Noise Study prepared Innovation LeFebure, November 13, Tustin Noise Ordinance Tustin General Plan by Leroy 1899 Willey of Inter Mitigation/Monitoring Required: As a condition of approval, the applicant will be required to limit construction activities as per the requirements of the Tustin Noise Ordinance, the Tustin Building Official and Police Department will monitor the site and stop any activities in violation of the Noise Ordinance. Item B - "Maybe": See discussion above regarding noise meter readings. Given the above, it does not appear that there will be any incidence of exposure of people to severe noise levels. Sources: Proposed Site Plan Tustin Noise Ordinance Tustin General Plan Mitigation/Monitoring Required: As a condition of approval, the applicant will be required to limit construction activities as per the requirements of the Tustin Noise Ordinance, the Tustin Building Official and Police Department will monitor the site and stop any activities in violation of the noise ordinance. 7. LIGHT AND GLARE "Maybe": The proposed project will include parking lot lighting for conformance with the City Security Ordinance. All lighting fixtures and intensities will be reviewed by the City staff to ensure that light rays are contained on-site and do not impact adjacent residences. Given that light sources will be continued on-site, any possible impacts would be mitigated to a level of insignificance. Sources: Tustin Security Ordinance Mitigation/Monitoring Required: City staff review of proposed lighting plan for project prior to permit issuance to ensure conformance with the Tustin Security Ordinance. Exhibit A Initial Study Responses Design Review 89-57 Page 6 8. NATURAL RESOURCES Items A and B - "Maybe": The project will generate the need for non-renewable natural resources. The proposed land use will not; however, require significant quantities of natural resources or non-renewable resources. Sources: Proposed Site Plan Site Inspection Mitigation/Monitoring Required: All construction materials and methods shall be in accordance with the currently adopted edition to the Uniform Building Code and all other applicable codes for the city of Tustin. 9. RISK OF UPSET Item A and B "No": The proposed use does not require the handling of any hazardous or explosive materials. The site is currently adjacent heavily trafficked arterials on which hazardous materials may travel. However, no anticipated risk of upset due to exposure is expected as a result of development of this site. Sources: Design Review application Mitigation/Monitoring Required: None 10. POPULATION "No": The project is a single use project, is small in size and scale and will not increase the need for housing or substantially increase the general population in the area. Therefore, no significant increase in housing or population is anticipated as a result of the project. Sources: Field inspections Design Review Application Project site and Floor Plan Mitigation/Monitoring Required: None 11. HOUSING "No": This project is relatively small in scale and size. There will not be a demand on housing as a result of this project. Exhibit A Initial Study Responses Design Review 89-57 Page 7 Sources: Field Inspections Design Review Application Project Site and Floor Plan Mitigation/Monitoring Required: None 12. TRANSPORTATIONICIRCULATION Items A, C, D, E, - "Maybe": The project will require some demand for use of transportation facilities and parking. The proposed project will generate more vehicular traffic on Newport Avenue and Irvine Boulevard. Sources: Proposed Site Plan City of Tustin Traffic Engineer Reports Mitigation/Monitoring Required: 1. All project driveways shall be designed using a 15 foot curb radius; and, 2. Prior to occupancy, the applicant shall meet with the city Traffic Engineer to finalize the number and placement of on-site directional signs. 3. In order to address area -wide cumulative traffic impacts, the developer shall be required to financially contribute towards transportation system improvements as exercised by the Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Santa Ana and the City of Tustin executed on November 6, 1989. The applicant will be required to pay Transportation Improvement Fee at time of building permit and difference in fee increase prior to certificate of occupancy from the fee rate collected at time of release of building permit. Items B and F - "Maybe": The project will require new demands for parking facilities. The project has been designed to provide on-site parking to accommodate all parking demands in conformance with the Tustin Zoning Code Requirements. A total of 48.parking spaces will be provided. As the project site is located in a heavily trafficked area, there may be an increase in traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists and/or pedestrians. Exhibit A Initial Study Responses 'Design Review 89-57 Page 8 In order to alleviate these concerns, the site plan has been revised to include the following: 1. No left turn movements from Irvine Boulevard to the site shall be permitted. 2. The entrance to the bank along Irvine Boulevard shall allow right turn in, right turn out only. 3. The drive -up teller lane shall allow a right turn exit only. 4. Access to/from the site from Newport Boulevard shall be allowed by right turns only. Additionally right turn access only to the site from Newport Avenue will reduce turning movements across the bicycle trail adjacent to Newport Avenue. Sources: Tustin Parking Requirements Proposed Site Plan City of Tustin Traffic Engineer's Report Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Apply conditions of approval prior to occupancy requiring the applicant to properly paint all parking stalls and all curb area within the site not a part of parking stall design shall be painted red. Ensure compliance through final inspection process. Additionally, all access to the site shall be limited to right turn -in, right turn -out only. The drive-thru lane exit shall be limited to right -turn only. 13. PUBLIC SERVICES Items A and B - "Maybe": The proposed project is thus having a small but ultimately cumulative impact on local police and fire protection. Sources: Proposed Site Plan Tustin Security Ordinance Orange County Fire Department Report Tustin Police Department Report Mitigation/Monitoring Reguired: Apply conditions of approval including: 1. Project lighting plan to be approved in accordance with the City of Tustin Security Ordinance. 2. Prior to issuance of building permits for combustible construction, evidence that a water supply for fire Exhibit A Initial Study Responses Design Review 89-57 Page 9 protection is available, and fire hydrants shall be in place and operational. 3. Prior to the issuance of any certificates of use and occupancy, the private street shall be red curbed and posted "No Parking - Fire Lane". Items C. D, E and F - "No": The proposed use does not substantially contribute towards the concentration of or increase in the provision of public service such as schools, parks and recreation facilities, or maintenance of public facilities. Typically, bank type uses do not impact schools or parks and recreational type uses or facilities. Sources: Site and Elevation Plans Design Review Committee Comments Mitigation/Monitoring Required: None 14.
