Certify the Negative Declaration for Design Review 88-66 by adoption of Resolution No. RDA 89-21; and 2. Approve Design Review 88-66 by adoption of Resolution No. RDA 89-22. BACKGROUND- ~ Earlier on this evening's agenda, the City Council considered an appeal of the Planning Commission's action to deny a Conditional Use Permit to establish a 5,000 square foot carwash at 240 E. First Street. Assuming a positive action by the City Council, it would be appropriate for the Redevelopment Agency to approve Design Review 88-66 for the project. As required by the Town Center Redevelopment Plan, the final site plan and architectural design of a project is subject to the review and approval by the Redevelopment Agency. The project site is approximately .55 acres and is located on the south side of First Street, east of Prospect Avenue. The site is presently vacant. Surrounding uses include the Tustin Post Office to the east, existing non conforming warehouse/storage type uses to the south, office uses and satellite dishes to the west and a McDonald's restaurant across First Street to the north. This item does' not require a public hearing; therefore, no formal notification was' transmitted. The applicant and architect were forwarded a copy of the meeting's agenda and staff report for this item. DISCUSSION The applicant proposes to construct a 5,000 square foot full service carwash on the property located at 240 W. First Street. The project site is located within the C-2 (Central Commercial) district and the "Commercial as Primary Use" land use designation pursuant to Section III-D(1) of the First Street Specific Plan. Architecture - The applicant has done a commendable job in designing the architectural aspects of the project. The project proposes a mi ssi on style architecture with smooth stucco finish, wood eaves, and window surrounds, built out column treatments along the east elevation and full column treatments to support the trel 1 i s City Council Report Design Review 88-66 October 16, 1989 Page two A wood trellis element is proposed over the entire fuel pump and vacuum areas. A matching trellis element is also proposed along the front portion of the perimeter wall. The building proposes pitched roofs to give the appearance of a full pitched roof treatment. A pedestrian waiting area has been provided in the northwest corner of the site which would also be covered with a trellis. The proposed materials include the use of a 3 color clay "S" roof tile (tan, orange, brown) brown wood trim, light salmon stucco and dark salmon stucco trim. Lan_dscapi__ng_a~nd_Hardscape - A conceptual landscaping plan has been included on the site plan. However, specific planting materials, quantities, and sizes have not been identified. The conceptual plan identifies a large accent canopy type tree located in each corner of the property. Canopy type trees are also provided along the south side of the property, 'on the north side of the fuel pump in front of the columns and on the north elevation of the building. Various shrubs would be provided along the east and west sides of the property, as-well as along First Street. Planter areas on the north, west and south elevations of the building would also be provided. A pedestrian bench and seating area with the use of interlocking paving is provided along First Street outside the perimeter wall. Although the landscaping plan is conceptual, it provides for a well landscaped site. Final and precise landscaping and irrigation plans would need to be prepared in accordance with the City's Landscaping and Irrigation Submittal Requirements that specify,minimum plant, sizes, spacing, quantities and other installation der.ails. The entire front open area would be treated with terra cotta interlocking paving. A six foot high block wall is also proposed around the entire perimeter of the site which would be finished in a smooth stucco finish to match the building and an accent tile band near the top. Please refer to the City Council report for Conditional Use Permit 89-25 and Design Review 88-66 earlier on this evening's agenda for additional discussion related to this project. CONCLUSTON The physical design of the building and site amenities are consistent with the First Street Architectural Guidelines and the City's Development Standards as conditioned. The applicant has also provided pedestrian amenities .along First Street and on the site despite the purely auto oriented use of the site. It is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency approve Design Review 88-66, subject to the conditions contained in City Council Resolution No. 89-139, attached thereto and incorporated herein by reference. ~aniel-'~o×}' '"~ Acting Senior Planner Christine A.
