SUBJECT:
Honorable Chairman & Members of the Redevelopment Agency
Community Development Department
Design Review, Building Elevation Modification
Applicant: Lewis Properties, Inc.
Location: 14772 Plaza Drive
Background & Discussion
The Redevelopment Agency reviewed changes in building elevations of the office
project approved by Variance 83-9 on January 30, lg84 and approved the design
change. However, the Agency was concernedlwith the blue roof. The question was
raised as to whether or not the Town Center Redevelopment Plan requires the use
of earth tone colors for all projects constructed within the Redevelopment Area.
Response to Agency Concerns
Staff has reviewed the Town Center Redevelopment Plan. No specific mention is
made to the'type of materials colors to be used within the area, only that the
design is subject to Agency review. Additionally, Sepcific Plan No. 4 which
contains the standards for development on the subject site was reviewed. As
with the Redevelopment Plan, Specific Plan No. 4 does not require any particular
building materials or colors.
Possibly the Agency's understanding that projects within the Redevelopment Area
as a whole are obligated to use certain materials or colors results from the
fact that projects which are to be developed within the area regulated by
Specific Plan No. 1 {El Camino Real) have such standards. Projects in the
downtown area may only be approved upon a finding that "proposed developments
are compatible with and complimentary to the village motif. Renovation of
existing Victorian and western style buildings and construction of others of
similar style and compatible Spanish motif are encouraged." Specific Plan No. 1
lies within the Town Center Redevelopment Agency.
Recommendation
Receive and file. As submitted, the colors called for on the revised building
elevations are not in violation of provisions in the Town Center Redevelopment
Plan or Specific Plan No. 4.
Letters of approval will' be forwarded to the applicant and building permits will
be issued upon completion of structural plan check.
