LOS ANGELES, CA LOCATIOM: SOUTHEAST CORNER OF NEWPORT AVENUE AND WALNUT STREET REQUEST: AGENCY APPROVAL OF THE SITE PLAN AND ARCHIll~CTURAL DESIGN OF A PROPOSED g,790 SQUARE FOOT RETAIL CENTER RECOP~qENDED ACTION: It is recommended that the site plan and architectural design of the proposed center be approved by the adoption of Resolution No. RDA 85-14 with all conditions of approval contained therein. SUltRY: The Community Development Department has completed a review of the site plan and architectural design of the proposed retail center. However, pursuant to the adopted Redevelopment Plan for the area, the final site plan and design is subject to review and approval of the Redevelopment Agency. With the exception of specific details noted in the draft resolution of approval, staff considers the submittal to be complete and recommends that the Agency approve the project as presented. ANALYSIS: The project proponent and staff have met on several occassions to revise and refine the design of the project. Special emphasis was given to the concept that the new center should be compatible with the approved Primrose Center (the adjacent site immediately to the south). Along these lines the two issues of concern, the site plan and the elevations, will each be addressed. SIll~ PLAN REVIEW: As submitted, the La Mancha site plan incorporates the same circulation pattern, building location and landscape characteristics as the Primrose project giving the appearance of a single, integrated project. A very positive feature of this design is that customers patronizing one center can visit the other site without having to exit onto Newport Avenue. Site Plan/Design Review November 18, 1985 Page two Also, by using a common curb cut for ingress/egress, the number of access points on to Newport is minimized. In terms of development standards, the plan submitted meets all adopted criteria with the exception of the percentage of compact spaces and the rear drive aisle width. However, since the compact spaces are located at the rear of the project, and will most likely be used by employees of the center, having 30~ compact spaces {5 spaces more than the standard 20~ would allow} will not adversely impact the project. Additionally, since rear drive aisle only accesses compact spaces, the use of a 24 foot wide drive aisle {in lieu of the standard 27 feet) will sufficiently accommodate proper vehicle maneuvering. Finally, since a detailed landscape plan was not available at the time this report was prepared, precise location of trees has not been determined. However, to reinforce the integrated center concept, the front landscape area will be bermed and will consist of the same species and size of trees as will be used in the Primrose project. Condition Number IIN in Resolution No. RDA 84-14 specifies the type and number of trees and type of groundcover required for the La Mancha project. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN: After several rev. isidns to the elevations and building materials to be used on the proposed project, the design has been upgraded and will be compatible with the Primrose project. Specifically: the use of Wood treatment (with a natural wood finish); a "sandstone" concrete tile roof; and an extended roof line that encompasses the f~ont and side elevations and the inclusion of dormers to give relief to the monotony of a long, plain roof line. Taken together, these features further strengthen the integrated center concept that is considered to be the most positive aspect of the proposed development. CONCLUSIONS: Staff and the project architect have spent a considerable amount of time refining the proposed center. 'As submitted, the site plan and building design address staff's majOr concerns and it is recommended that the Agency approve the project design by the adoption of Resolution No. RDA 85-14 with the conditions of approval contained therein.
