REVIEW FOR 12 MONTHS
RECOIIIqENDATION
It is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency approve the request for a 12
month extension of Design Review 87-33 by adoption of Resolution No. RDA 88-13.
BACKGROUND
On December 21, 1987 the Redevelopmen.t Agency approved Design Review 87-33 for
construction of a 25,281 square foot retail center. This center is to be
located on a 1.9 acre parcel at the northeast corner of E1 Camino Real and
Newport Avenue, formerly known as the Karl's Mercedes and Southern Counties Oil
sites.
A copy of the staff report and resolution-of approval are attached to this
report for reference.

Since the project was approved, the applicant has commenced with structural plan
check and has met several conditions of approval on the project related to
building design and site configuration. However, the title to the property has

yet to transfer due to the nature of the negotiations wlt'h the previous property
owner.
The transfer of the title to the land will take place once the site is released
from the Orange County Hazardous Waste Division of the Environmental Management
Agency. The .rear of the property is currently being cleared of all hazardous
materials found in the soil as a result of the leakage from the underground
tanks which used to be on the property.
A final release on the soil is expected within a month. This approval will
allow the title to transfer and plan check can be completed and the project's
construction can commence after all permits are issued.
Although construction is expected to commence within a short period of time, the
applicant has requested a one year extension of the Design Review to December
21, 1989. This will allow adequate time for processing of the structural plan.
check, final release from the County, and for grading and construction to be
completed. ..
CONCLUSZON
ii
Staff has reviewed the applicants request and considers the req'uest for
extension to be valid due to the soil contamination problems. A resolution has
been prepared to ensure compliance with the previously approved conditions of
approval while allowing for the requested extension.

The subject s.ite was previously occupied by Southern Counties 0il and Karl's
Mercedes Repair Shop, is currently zoned CG (Commercial General) and is
surrounded by C-1 zoned properties to the north and east. Existing development
in the vicinity of the project includes a card locked fuel station to the north
an existing non-conforming multi-family apa.rtment project to the east and
apartments on R-3 zoned properties located to the northeast of the site.
The. submitted development plans propose construction of two buildings, to be
'located on the northerly and easterly portion of the project in an inverted 'L'
shaped pattern. The buildings wtll be connected by a decorative tower structure
and will have a southerly and southwesterly orientation. Parking areas are to
be located around the street facing portions of the project near the front of
each building.
.The subject project has been designed in conformance with parking, setback and
landscaping requirements of the Zoning Code and City adopted development
standards. Proposed building setbacks and parking are outlined below.
Standard,. Requirement Proposed
Parking. (1:200):
126 Spaces
1'26 Spaces
Building setbacks:
Front 15 feet 15 feet
Sides
E1 Camtno Real 15 feet 15 feet
Alley 5 feet 5 feet
Rear 0 feet 0 feet
Building Height:
Lot Coverage:

100% maximum 3i% maximum
The site provides ten feet of landscaping along both the Newport Avenue and E1
Camtno Real street frontages. Additional landscaped planters are also provided
along the alley and in the parking areas' as required by the adopted development
standards.
The primary entry and exit point for the project will be provided by a 30 foot
driveway along E1 Camino Real and a 30 foot driveway along )lewport Avenue. The
Newport Avenue access will be restricted to right-turn in and right-turn out
.movements only. A secondary entry to the project is also proposed from the
alley to the north to facilitate proper movement, staff recommends installation
of directory signs at the alley entrance to establish this area as an entrance
only. This is for the purpose of directing a majority of existing traffic onto
the public streets (El Camino Real and Newport) as opposed to the use of the
all6y for exit-ing purposes.

While the proposed project tncludes some spanish colonial architectural
elements, Including Spanish roof details and arched details above
storefront parapets, the project as proposed ts more consistent with the
"post modern" style of architecture. In fact, the elevations of the
project even with a number of introduced vertical treatments .for the roof
wtll appear very modern.
Other mjor architectural features of the project include:
A mixture of flat roof parapets and tiled mansard roofs; the mansards
are prtmarly used on each end wing of the center.
Painting details are designed to create visual shadows and a color
band around the base of structures. Main wa-ll surfaces are proposed
to be a yellow cream color (Chablis) with'arch details proposed in a
14ght peach coior (Apache). The structure base band is proposed tn a
dusty blue color ((~hesepeake Blue).
All wall surfaces will be plastered with a trowel finish.
The focal point of the projecl: is a tower Structure with a sloping hip
roof and Spanish tiles linking each building.
Staff feels at this time that there are specific features of the project
including color and other miscellaneous details which need some further
refinement to ensure a high quality project. The following design corrections
are being requested:
All tiled roof treatments should have sloped elements with roof tiles
'on front and rear elevations.
All column treatments in storefront areas should be of the same
dimension (width, material and design treatment).
Revise color scheme of the project so that main wall colors do not
contain a "yellow tone" and accent colors are not as contrasting
(i.e. more beige earthtones and possible use of terra cotta base or
quarry accent instead of blue).
Window treatments on the south elevation of the east wing and on the
west elevation of the north wing should be decorative (i.e. paned and
or arched).
2. Si0n Program
All tenants within the Center are allowed identification signs by the Sign
Code. The applicant has prepared a preliminary sign program for the
Corn rnunity DeveloPment Depar~rnen~ J

tenants to. follow. The major elements of this program Include'
- All signs are proposed to be channelled letters, logos are permt, ssable
wtth owner approval. ' ~
Tenants have a choice of six (6) standard colors, exceptions are
all owed wtth owner approval.
Tenants have a choice of nine (g) letter types.
t~htle all returns (metal sides of channel letter) are proposed to be
painted blue color of the color band on the buildings, staff would
recommend a modification in this treatment.
A monument director~F sign totallng 75 square feet, with six (6) square
foot tenant identification is proposed. However, a monument sign in
the required lS foot stback would only be permitted tf the Planning
Commission granted a variance.
4. .Landscaping
The applicant has submitted a concept landscaping plan for the. prodect.
The actua.1 quantities, spaces and location of materials, however, will be
refined at plan check.. In addition, complete irrigation plans will need to
be submitted at plan check. The project incorporates over 10,000 square
feet of on site landscaping. Landscaping includes a ten (10) foot strip
along street frontages and a series of five foot wide planters in the
parking areas and along the alley. All planters will-contain tree, shrub
and ground cover specimens. Use of annuals for adding color to the Center
are also provided.
- CONCLUSION
i i
After consideration of the site plan, architecture, sign and landscaping related
issues, staff considers the project compatible with the surrounding area
provided conditions of approval for the project are adopted.
