PROJECT ANALYSIS:
An application has been submitted for Santa Fe Pacific Realty Corporation to
construct a 61,190 square foot industrial building at 15272 Del Amo Ave.
Pursuant to the South Central Redevelopment Plan, the final site plan and design
is subject to review and approval of the Redevelopment Agency.
The project's proponent and staff have met on several occasions to revise and
refine the design of the project. Special emphasis was given to:
* Careful study of parking layout and location of compact car spaces.
Screening of parking and service areas by strategic use of landscaping.
* Facilitating pedestrian circulation and security.
Upgrade of architectural treatment in order to diminish mass of structure
and increase compatibility with surrounding development.
SITE PLAN REVIEW:
Parking is more than adequate to meet development standards. The project would
provide a total of 289 stalls. A total of 163 stalls are required. Out of the
total number of stalls provided 35 {12%) are compact car stalls, and 5 are
handicap car stalls. Proposed site plan also meets the parking standards set on
the propoSed Specific Plan No. 7.

LANDSCAPING:
Landscaping plans for the proposed parking lot surpass minimum requirements. A
total of 23,578 sq.feet of landscaped area is proposed, while only 5,600 sq.feet
is required.
Proposed plant materials function well as screening for service and parking
areas. Also, climate resistant & decorative shrubs proposed for terraced
planters help to soften architectural design of entry.
Proposed site lighting will facilitate pedestrian circulation.'
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN:
A. Surroundt ng Charactert stt cs
The immediate vicinity of subject project consists of large warehouse
stucco buildings of light walls and colored accent bands. Chain link
fences and concrete block walls with little or improperly maintained
landscaping is a typical characteristic of the area. The users are "Kerr",
"U.S. Plywood", "Builders Emporium" and "Coors Recycling"
At the corner of Valencia and Del Amo Ave., is a new industrial building
"Point 4 Data Corporation" which has light gray textured concrete walls,
black glass and appropriate landscaping. To the east on the rear of
subject property, are other newer industrial buildings including the "Taco
Bell" complex.
The proposed project fits well into the area and will set higher
development standards for its immediate vicinity.
B. Description of the Building
The applicant proposes to erect a rectangular shaped structure with a 45
degree angled entry. The architectural features of the entry are marked by
sharp edges and large scale indentation of building walls. The design of
the structure is softened by landscaping masses, berms and chamfers
(recessed reveals). Following are predominant architectural features:
- "antique white" painted tilt-up concrete walls
black glass graylite #14
black annodized alluminum mullions
chamfers (horizontal recessed reveals), wrapping the. structure and
treating the rear elevation.

staff's major concerns and it is recommended that the Agency approve the project
design by the adoption of' Resolution No. 86-13 with the conditions of approval
contained therein.
