MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable City Council
rec///
FROM: Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Development
DATE: May 8, 1990 (CC meeting of May 16, 1990)
SUBJECT: PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 1062 MAJOR MODIFICATION
NO.1, LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF SPRING ROAD AND
TIERRA REJADA ROAD (EMBASSY PLAZA NO. 16) .
Background
On April 18, 1990, Planned Development Permit No. 1062 Major
Modification No. 1 to add a free standing,7,918 square feet building
to the proposed 4 .5 acre neighborhood commercial center, was heard
before the City Council. Staff's position was for denial of the
project. During the hearing, the applicant presented two
alternative building plans. The proposed building (building 3)
under alternative 1 was to remain basically on its original
location except that there would be more spaces for outdoor seating •
between the proposed building and the main building with
landscaping around the seating area. Under alternative 2 the
building was proposed to be relocated so as to front Spring Road
with a 12 to 15 feet setback from the property line. The applicant
would require a front setback variance to do this .
By an unanimous vote the Council members decided to refer the
matter to the Community Development Committee. A meeting was held
on April 25, 1990, comprised of two staff members, two
representatives from the Embassy Group (applicant) , one
representative from a brokerage company, Councilmembers Harper and
Brown, and three representatives from an adjacent Home Owners
Association.
During the meeting, a representative from the Embassy Group agreed
to provide alternative 2 (with the proposed building on street
frontage) under the following conditions: ( 1) that building signage
be allowed to face the street to increase sign visibility, (2) that
a front setback variance of 12 feet to 15 feet be granted.

However, there was a general lack of consensus from those in
attendance regarding this proposal because of the concern that the
building mass, with its size and height, would be set too close to
the street. Also, there was concern that the highly visible wall
signage would detract from the character of a neighborhood shopping
center.
Because of the overall concern to create a viable neighborhood
shopping center without compromising on aesthetic quality, it was
decided to have the applicant revise the site and architectural
plans to show the location of building 3 on the Spring Road
frontage. The site plans would be required to have alternatives
showing a 30 foot and 20 foot setbacks from the street.
In order to give the Embassy enough time to work on their
revisions, the proposed modification was continued to the City
Council meeting of May 16, 1990.
Discussion
The revised site and elevation plans submitted by Embassy on May
7, 1990 reflects yet another alternative design. A letter
submitted on May 9, 1990 by Embassy explained the reasons why the
two alternatives as suggested by the Committee members were not
adopted (Exhibit 2) . The most recent site design shows building 3
as a L-shaped structure creating an inward-oriented design at the
northern end of the main building (Building 1) . The building is
set back a minimum of 50 feet from the property line. The latest
design would also allow 30 more parking spaces than what is
required by City's Parking Codes.
While staff agrees that the building shows a better architectural
and spatial relationship and is consistent with the character of
a neighborhood shopping center, there is concern with the location
of the driveway fronting Spring Road and the long row of parking
stalls on street frontage. Staff feels that the easterly driveway
facing building 3 would not have sufficient turning radius for
vehicles ingressing and egressing the site. Staff is recommending
that the driveway be relocated further to the south. Moreover,
to break up the monotony of a long row of parking stalls, staff
requires that the applicant remove the first row of fifteen parking
stalls on street frontage, north of the northerly driveway, and
replace it with landscaping. To minimize onsite traffic hazards,
and backing out problems, the applicant is conditioned to eliminate
the six end parking stalls as highlighted on the site plan and
replaced them with landscaping (exhibit 1) . Also, the trash
enclosure at the northern end of building 3 shall be relocated to
an area much further from the residences abutting the property to
the west. The new location of the trash enclosure shall be
approved by the Director of Community Development.

This latest site plan has not had City engineer's review and the
effects of shifting the driveway further south are not known at
this time. Generally, moving the driveway will cause a reduction
in stacking space for left turns into the center. Staff will
attempt to meet with the City Engineer's office and the Community
Development Committee to discuss this latest proposal and seek
their recommendations.
Staff has provided a draft Resolution and attached conditions
should the Council elect to approve this project at this time.
Staff Recommendation
If staff is unable to provide recommendations from the Community
Development Committee and City Engineer's office that this request
be continued to the City Council meeting of June 6, 1990 to allow
staff to further evaluate the latest site plan proposal.

Re: PD-1062
Major Modification
Dear Pat:
As per our discussions, I would like to elaborate on
our decision to come up with a new design for the proposed
pad building.
We took into account the constructive suggestions that
were made at the committee meeting we had with the City
Council Subcommittee, Planning Staff and homeowners . These
suggestions included the following:
1. Eliminate the long strip center look.
2. Do not have too many buildings on the property.
3. Do not place the buildings too close to the street .
Try to minimize the impact by limiting the height and
landscaping.
4. Make sure the project has sufficient parking spaces.
5 . Have a courtyard area with outside seating.
We asked our architect to come up with a site plan
that would best incorporate these ideas as well as be
functional and leasable. Our concept is the result.
The location of the new building helps to ' soften the
strip retail look by breaking up the straight facade of the
rear building. It also gives the impression of being part
of the rear building and having two buildings instead of
three.
Using this configuration, we eliminate the need to put
a building up against Spring Road and the building is over
•
50 feet from the street at its closest point . The building
has a lower facade than the rear building and the signage
will be further from the street to mitigate the presence of
the building along the street .

We are very concerned about the amount of parking. Our
goal has been to allow for 15--20% more parking than is
required by City Code. This design allows us to have 30
spaces over the requirement which we feel is important to
the success of the center.
The last comment was to have a courtyard for outdoor
seating and perhaps outdoor restaurant service. We have put
in a courtyard area between the two buildings. We envision •
having entry doors from the front building into the
courtyard. We hope to put complimentary retailers such as
ice cream and doughnut shops that can take advantage of the
courtyard area.
We had planned on looking at two concepts with a pad
building along Spring Road with a twenty and thirty foot •
setback respectively from the property line. We had done
some rough sketches on letter sized paper showing this
concept .
When our architect drew this building to scale
however, we realized that our drawings did not take into
account adequate sidewalk area in around the stores. Our
- architect was unable to fit a building at this location
with sufficient parking without requiring a setback
variance to less than twenty feet.
Since we were told that there was very little chance
of obtaining such a setback variance, we felt there was no
point in showing this alternative.
We feel that we have made a good faith effort to take
the suggestions of City, Staff and homeowners into
consideration. We need to move forward on this project and
hope the City will allow us to do so. Please call if you
have any questions or comments .
Sincerely,
