SIGN APPLICATION 93-225
REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A CORPORATE SIGN FOR
NORWEST FINANCIAL
NORWEST FINANCIAL, INC. (DES MOINES, IOWA)
78-590 HIGHWAY 111 (ONE ELEVEN LA QUINTA CENTER)
IMPERIAL SIGN COMPANY, INC. AND PORTER BOWER
SIGN COMPANY, INC.
The master sign program for the One Eleven La Quinta Center was approved by the
Design Review Board on October 17, 1990, and the Planning Commission on November
13, 1990. Since the initial approval, some amendments have been approved by the
Planning Commission. The current sign program for in -line tenant spaces is as
follows:
- One per frontage
- Fifty square feet (maximum)
- Letter style: Helvetica Light (Two lines of copy permitted)
- Colors: white, red, blue, and yellow
- Internally illuminated individual letters
- Logo: 25% of sign area (Maximum)
Note: National or regional tenants with more that five outlets will be allowed to use
their standard sign if approved by the Design Review Board and the Planning
Commission. No two adjacent, separate tenant signs shall be the same color without
City approval. One color only per sign other than logo unless approved by the City.
APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL:
On November 16, 1993, staff received a request from Norwest Financial to install
their corporate sign on their new facility at 78-590 Highway 111. Their store is west
of Desert Sound Waves, and east of the PGA West Cleaners. The applicant proposes
individual channel letter signs which are internally illuminated. Upper-case letters
are proposed and the sign will read "Norwest Financial". The letters are 14-inches
DBB.008
00JV
in height and the length of the sign is approximately 16-feet. The sign is mounted
on the existing building facia and centered between the two existing vertical
columns. The sign letters will have white plexiglass faces with dark bronze returns.
The reason the sign requires Design Review Board and Planning Commission is that
the lettering style includes both Helvetica Light and Helvetica Bold. The adopted
sign program allows Helvetica Light unless the applicant is a national or regional
business. The applicant, Norwest Financial, has submitted a letter explaining that
they meet this requirement (Attachment 2). The landlord has approved the
applicant's request.
ANALYSIS:
As previously noted, national or regional tenants are allowed to utilize their standard
sign design if it is approved by the Design Review Board and Planning Commission.
As you will recall, Payless Shoes, Clothestime, Baskin -Robbins, and McDonald's
were granted minor exceptions to the adopted sign program because they were
national chain organizations.
In reviewing the sign, staff feels that the sign is acceptable. The sign will be
visible from Highway 111.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff feels that the sign should be approved based on the sign program provisions
and the fact that the applicant is a nationally recognized financial institution.

Dear Mr. Trousdell:
As you know, we are requesting an amendment to the adopted
sign criteria in order to use our trademark letter style at
the above referenced location. Norwest Financial is a 96
year old, $4.5 billion company that currently operates 885
offices in 46 states and throughout Canada. We are a
wholly -owned subsidiary of Norwest Corporation, a $45
billion company providing banking, investments, insurance,
and other financial services through 1,800 locations in all
50 states and internationally. Considering Norwest
Financials national exposure and that our signage is a
registered trademark we request that this change be
authorized.
If you should have any questions, please don't hesitate to
call me at (515)237-7289.

DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
DATE: DECEMBER 1, 1993
CASE NO.: PLOT PLAN 93-516
APPLICANT: TD DESERT DEVELOPMENT (CHUCK STROTHER)
ARCHITECT/LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECT: ROBERT LAMB HART
REQUEST: APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY LANDSCAPING PLANS FOR MAIN
ENTRY ROAD AND CASITAS AREA AND APPROVAL OF
LANDSCAPING AND ARCHITECTURAL PLANS FOR THE
RACQUET CLUB 48TH AVENUE.
LOCATION: SOUTH SIDE OF 48TH AVENUE EAST OF WASHINGTON STREET
WITHIN RANCHO LA QUINTA.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property was previously known as "The Pyramids". The last item which you
reviewed was the maintenance building on the north side of 50th Avenue east of Park Avenue.
Presently, the main entrance at Eisenhower Drive and Washington Street is under construction
with the main road within the project being installed.
The applicant has submitted a conceptual landscaping plan for the main entry road from
Washington Street east. This area includes the Adams Street entry for which a design was
recently approved as a separate application.
LANDSCAPE DESIGN OF ENTRY ROAD:
The main road starts with the Washington Street entry which is presently under construction and
ends with the racquet club area which is between Adams Street and Dune Palm Road.
From the Washington Street entry, the landscape concept transitions into a formal double road
of Date Palms at 45 feet on center with a lush oasis type planting within the center median
which exists only adjacent to the Washington street area. Interspersed around the Date Palms
will be plantings of Pepper Trees and where needed for screening of residential lots, tall
flowering shrubs. Ground covers along the majority of the roadway will be low drought tolerant
flowering shrubs and ground covers which provide color. Views of the golf course will be taken
into consideration with plant materials in view corridors being low profile. Additional plant
materials to be utilized consist of Brazilian Peppers, African Sumacs, and Eucalyptus for
DRBST.108 1
00s
windrows. A continuous five foot wide meandering concrete sidewalk will be provided along
the south side of this entry road. The Adams Street entry while shown on this plan was
previously approved by the Design Review Board and Planning Commission. For the most part,
along the roadways bermed landscaping will be utilized to screen the roadway and cars from
areas developed with residences.
RACOUET CLUB AREA:
Landscape Design
The overall concept for this area is to provide a lush tropical garden setting under a formal date
grove with scattered Queen Palms in terraces and low flowering ground covers and small accent
trees. The formal date grove is laid out in such a fashion that it will unify the racquet club, golf
clubhouse (to the south) and common parking area (to the south). The submitted plans include
the landscaping concept for the Casitas units to the west which are part of the Phase I Casitas
development. Flowering shrubs and ground cover are proposed to be used with scattered
Eucalyptus trees. There will be some lawn utilized within the areas around and in between the
units. Additional trees utilized as part of the streetscape concept consist of Brazilian Peppers,
African Sumacs, and Acacias. Landscape and walkway lighting will be limited to low level path
lights.
Racquet Club Architecture
The proposed racquet club will be approximately 41-feet by 167-feet and consist of
approximately 6,800 square feet of floor space, including an open breezeway. The facility will
consist of a pro shop, exercise room, locker rooms, storage area, office area, and small club
grill area. The architecture of the facility is Spanish/Early California to conform with the
architectural theme of the project. The one story structure will be at a maximum 23-feet high
and utilize a two piece 18-inch barrel vault clay tile roof material. Two roof pitches will be
utilized on this building. A covered veranda of 16-feet will be provided on the three main sides
of the building on the fourth side the overhang will be smaller. However, this area is only
utilized for tennis storage, pool storage, and a mechanical room.
The walls are proposed to be stucco with a mission finish. The veranda floor around the
building is proposed to be washed aggregate panels with bands of inset Mexican pavers. The
doors, windows, and seals will be painted a teal color. Any wood exposed will be stained. The
applicant has indicated that the material and color board utilized for the administration building
on 48th Avenue will be the same utilized for this building.
ANALYSIS:
The landscaping concept proposed for the main entry road will provide an attractive entry
statement.
DRBST.108 z
-v O OS
The architecture of the proposed racquet club is attractive and conforms with the Early
California style proposed for the project. The materials will match those utilized in the
administration building and tie together the "public" buildings provided within the project.
The landscaping concept proposed around the racquet club structure will be lush and colorful.
The landscaping shown around the Casitas units is compatible with that of the racquet club and
still provides compatibility with the rest of the project.
Staff would recommend that the applicant carefully chose the Eucalyptus trees proposed to be
used in this project. Some varieties of Eucalyptus can grow extremely large and have brittle
branches. Another item of note is that recently the La Quinta Hotel removed all the Date Palm
trees from their north public parking lot because of a problem with a Beetle infestation.
Generally, the Beetle would bore into the tree trunk and eventually killing the tree and toppling
of the head of the tree. Several cars were damaged within the parking lot before the trees were
removed and replaced with Mexican fan palms. The reason staff brings this up at this point is
because of the date grove proposed throughout the racquet club area.
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS:
1. Drip or emitter irrigation shall be utilized to the greatest extent.
2. The final landscaping, irrigation, and architectural plans, materials and colors, pavement
patterns, etc. shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning and Development
Department prior to issuance of permits or beginning of work.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the above noted comments and recommended conditions, staff recommends that the
Design Review Board review the submitted plans and determine acceptability. Your
recommendation will be forwarded to the Planning Commission for approval.

DESIGN REVIEW GUIDELINES
CITY OF WALNUT CREEK
The following design guidelines have been developed and are used by the Walnut Creek Design
Review Commission in their evaluation of proposed projects. Applicants should closely follow these
guidelines in development of design concepts unless circumstances require an alternate approach.
SITS PLAWtIHG
1. Minimize the disruption of existing natural features such as trees and other vegetation,
natural forms, rocks, water and view.
2. Illustrate a design compatibility with the desired developing character of the
surrounding area.
3. Create a development which is pleasant in character, human in scale, and facilitates easy
circulation.
4. Recognize views, climate and the nature of outside activities in the design of exterior
spaces.
5. Insure in each step of a phased project that the design is complete in its functional,
traffic, visual, drainage and landscaping aspects wherever possible.
6. Insure that all exterior lighting is functional, subtle and architecturally integrated with
the building style, material and colors.
1. Screen exterior trash and storage areas, service yards, loading docks and ramps and
electrical utility boxes, etc., from view of all nearby streets and adjacent structures in a
manner that is compatible with building site design.
2. Minimize the visual impact and presence of vehicles by generally sitingg parking areas to
the rear or side of the property rather than along street frontages, util�ng underground
parking and screening parking areas from view both interior and exterior to the site.
3. Minimize noise created by the proposed project (traffic, air conditioning, use, etc.) that
may negatively impact the surrounding area
4. Minimize noise from the surrounding area that may negatively impact the proposed
project.
-1-
1. Blend any proposed grading with the contours of adjacent properties.
2. Contour round all proposed cut and fill slopes both horizontally and vertically.
3. Insure that all on -site drainage patterns will occur on or through areas designed to serve
this function.
D. Circulation
1. Create traffic patterns which minimize impacts on surrounding streets and property and
accommodate emergency vehicles.
2. Create circulation systems which avoid conflicts between vehicular, bicycle and
pedestrian traffic.
3. Insure that the proposed project accommodates individuals with physical disabilities via
the provision of handicapped parking stalls, ramps and the like.
BUILDING DESIGN
A. General
1. Create a design compatible with the developing character of the neighboring area.
Design compatibility includes harmonious building style, form, size, color and material.
2. Coordinate exterior building design on all elevations with regard to color, materials,
architectural form and detailing to achieve design harmony and continuity.
3. Limit the number of materials on the exterior face of the building.
B. Buildin - Site Plan Relationships
1. Site buildings so as to avoid crowding and to allow for a functional use of the space
between buildings.
2. Site buildings so as to consider shadows, changing climatic conditions, noise impacts.
safety and privacy on adjacent outdoor spaces.
1. Coordinate roof shape, color and texture with the treatment of the perimeter walls.
2. Minimize roof penetration by grouping all plumbing vents and ducts together.
3. Design and/or screen all rooftop mechanical and electrical equipment as an integral part
of the building design.
-2- 02
J
A General
1. Design landscaping to create a pleasing appearance frpm both within and off the site.
2. Size all landscaping so that a mature appearance will be attained within three years of
planting.
3. Tree and shrub planting should be grouped together unless circumstances dictate
otherwise in order to create strong accent points.
4. Insure that landscaping permits adequate sight distance for motorists and Pedestrians
entering and exiting the site and does not interfere with circulation effectiveness.
5. Provide landscaping adjacent to and within parking areas in order to screen vehicles from
view and muuimze the ex
pansive appearance of parking areas. This landscaping should
include fast growing deciduousor evergreen trees in parking lots to create maximum
summer shade.
6. Retain and integrate native and significant trees such as oaks, buckeyes and black
walnut.
1. Utilize landscaping to complement building elevations.
2. Provide dense landscaping to screen unattractive views and features such as storage
areas, trash enclosures, freeway structures, transformers, generators, and other elements
which do not contribute to the enhancement of the surroundings.
C. Climatic Relationships
1. Provide landscaping which will grow well in Walnut Creek's climate without requiring
extensive irrigation.
2. Provide deciduous trees along southern building exposures, coniferous and broad leaf
evergreen trees along east and west building exposures and evergreens along the north
exposures to conserve energy usage within structures.
SUBDIVISIONS
1. In general no more than two detached two-story dwelling units should be placed
adjacent to one another.
2. Site only one-story detached dwelling units adjacent to major collector or arterial streets
or on corner lots.
-3 n24
3. Vary front yard setbacks a minimum of 3 feet on straight line portions of streets.
4. Insure that houses with identical or similar building elevations are not on adjacent lots
or directly across the street from one another.
5. Insure a compatibility (not duplication) of color schemes on homes on adjacent lots.
6. Continue the design motif on each individual house completely around the structure.
Trim out all doors and windows whenever such treatment would be compatible with the
architectural style of the building.
SIGNING
1. Relate all signs to their surroundings in terms of size, shape, color, texture and lighting
so that they are complementary to the overall design of the building and are not in
visual competition with other conforming signs in the area.
2. Insure that the signing is subtle and unobtrusive, coneys its message clearly and
legibly, is vandalproof and weather resistant, and if lighted, not unnecessarily bright.
3. Arrange any external spot or flood sign lighting so that the light source is screened from
direct view, and so that the light is directed against the sign and does not shine into
adjacent property or blind motorists or pedestrians.
4. Plant evergreen shrubs around the base of any freestanding sign to integrate the sign
with the ground plane and screen out any low level flood lights. The freestanding sign
should be low profile wherever site and visibility conditions allow.
5. Frame wall mounted signs to create a clearly defined edge, provide shadow relief and a
substantial appearance.
6. Avoid using struts, braces, kickbacks or guy wires to support signing.
FINE ART WORKS
Fine art works include but are not limited to the following categories: sculpture, murals,
fountains, paving designs, plantings and lighting. These categories may be realized through
such art forms as: carvings, frescoes, mosaics, mobiles, photographs, drawings, collages, prints
and crafts, both decorative and utilitarian in clay, fiber, wood, metal, glass, plastics, as well
as other material. Landscaping items such as artistic placement of natural materials or other
functional art objects may be included.
-4- "� � 025
1. Relate works in terms of scale, material, form concept, and content for both its
immediate and general architecture, so that they complement the site and the
surrounding environment.
2. Design works to be durable against vandalism, theft, weather, and excessive
maintenance.
3. It is suggested that the artist be selected before the architectural design work begins, so
that the artist and the architect can work together toward a totally integrated design
solution.
4. Site works either on, in, or about the project(s). However, if the works are located in
the interior of a building(s), they should be located in an area which is open and
accessible to the public during normal business hours.
5. Works may be portable as well as fixed.
6. The following items are not to be considered as fine art works:
a. Directional elements such as supergraphics, signsge or color coding except where
these elements are integral parts of the original fine arts works;
b. Art objects which are mass produced from a standard design such as playground
equipment, fountains, flags or banners;
c. Reproductions, by mechanical or other means, of original fine art works;
d. Decorative, ornamental or functional elements which are designed by the building
architect as opposed to an artist commissioned for the purpose of creating the fine
art works;
e. Landscape architecture and landscape gardening except where these elements are
designed by the artist and are an integral part of the fine art works by the artist;
and
Services or utilities necessary to operate or maintain the fine art works over time.

CITY OF SANTA BARBARA
DESIGN GUIDELINES
Adopted by City Council on July 7, 1992

Upper State Street Area Design Guidelines
Page 1
UPPER STATE STREET AREA
DESIGN GUIDELINES
INTRODUCTION
These special guidelines for the Upper State Street Area
encourage designs which will be compatible with their
neighborhoods and also enhance Santa Barbara's distinctive built
environment. It is recognized that Upper State Street is a
special and distinct area of the City with several unique
neighborhoods (described below), a variety of old and new
architecture, and a desire to possess its own identity within the
context of Santa Barbara's identity and character.
DESCRIPTION
Upper State Street is predominantly an automobile oriented area
of our City. It has wide streets, large parking areas fronting
on the street, and large shopping centers and strip commercial
developments. All of these elements present special design
problems which can be mitigated by appropriate planning,
architecture and landscaping, while being sensitive to the
business interests and quality of,architecture and landscaping
which Santa Barbara wishes to encourage.
PURPOSE
Santa Barbara's distinctive architecture is a regional style with
a Mediterranean influence. It reflects the City's historic past
and complements its setting in the natural environment. The use
of simple building materials, generous landscaping, human scale
and soft colors creates a comfortable and harmonious ambiance in
the City. Because all commercial projects within the Upper State
Street area require architectural review, it is the purpose and
goal of these guidelines to direct the Board, architects,
designers, and applicants toward preliminary concepts which will
be sensitive to and compatible with the distinctive character of
Santa Barbara's built environment.
UPPER STATE STREET AREA NEIGHBORHOODS
The Upper State Street Area is divided into 6 separate
neighborhoods. It is recognized that each of these is different
and requires unique architectural solutions. The map included as
Attachment A delineates and names the six (6) neighborhoods. New
designs will be acceptable if they exhibit compatibility with
their respective neighborhoods.
02S
Upper State Street Area Design Guidelines
Page 2
The six neighborhoods are described as follows:
1. The State and Alamar Neighborhood extends from Constance
Avenue to Calls Crespis and possesses a strong residential
character with large oaks and sycamores and the natural
setting of Mission Creek. Significant structures in the
area include the Red Cross Building and the Medical Offices
at Alamar Avenue and State Street.
2. The Upper De la Vina Neighborhood extends from Constance
Avenue to State Street and is characterized by a
predominance of small, single story street oriented
commercial establishments with minimum parking and a variety
of architectural styles. Significant structures in the area
include Chadwicks Furniture, Standard Brands Paint Store and
the old fire station.
3. The State and Las Positas Neighborhood extends from Calls
Crespis to Arroyo Burro Creek and has a variety of small
street oriented commercial establishments, small motels,
strip commercial and the Loreto Plaza Shopping Center. In
this neighborhood the Las Positas Road and State Street
intersection is the focal point and the automobile is very
present. Significant structures in the area include Home
Fed Bank and Garrett's Furniture.
4. The Outer State Street Area is a large neighborhood
extending from Arroyo Burro Creek to where State Street
crosses Highway 101, which forms its southerly boundary.
The development in this neighborhood is characterized by
newer and larger buildings and shopping centers with
landscaped setbacks and adequate parking. The major
intersection of La Cumbre Road and State Street occurs near
the location of La Cumbre Plaza Shopping Center and Five
Points Shopping Center. There are a variety of
architectural styles in this neighborhood.
5. The Auto Center Area is a special neighborhood north of and
accessible from Highway 101 and contains many auto agencies
and the Plaza de Oro Office Complex. The Gregg Motors
complex constitutes the major architectural statement for
this neighborhood.
6. The Pesetas Area is a small and special neighborhood at the
west end of the City and is dominated by the Santa Barbara
Medical Clinic.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
Architectural style:
All styles of architecture must be compatible with their
respective neighborhood and must also enhance Santa
Barbara's distinctive architecture by designs which are in
the context of the ambiance and charm which exemplifies
Santa Barbara. See Neighborhood Compatibility below:
Site Planning:
The planning and design of the site should take into account
that parking is preferred behind the building rather than
fronting on the street. Ease and safety of ingress and
egress should be given careful consideration. Buildings
should have setbacks from the street in scale with their
height and mass, and respecting the setbacks of adjacent
buildings. See Private Property Landscaping below.
Color in Architecture:
Light colors typical of those found in Mediterranean
buildings is preferred. This includes pastels and mottled
color combinations.
Exterior Finishes:
Plaster is the most acceptable material to be used as the
dominant exterior finish. Other natural materials may be
used. Natural materials in conjunction with plaster add
subtlety and variety to the color and texture of buildings.
Glass should be used in a manner consistent with the
tradition of the architectural style being used. Large,
unbroken expanses of glass or other shiny or reflective
surfaces may not be appropriate.
Roofs:
Sloping tile roofs are preferred. Conventional roof forms
are most acceptable. Flat roofs properly treated are
acceptable particularly when used in conjunction with other
roof forms or traditionally treated parapets or wall
elements.
Architectural Elements:
Architectural features which help to soften and humanize a
building are recommended. These include arches, columns,
trellises, deeply recessed windows and doors, moldings and
built up planters.

Building Height:
Building heights should be in scale and proportion with
their setbacks and should be compatible with adjacent
buildings.
Buildings must have human scale.
Lighting:
Parking lot lighting shall be
preferred that pole lighting
fourteen (14) feet in height.
pole -mounted light fixtures.
integrated with trees. It is
be limited to twelve (12) to
Trees should be in scale with
Parking lots adjacent to portions of State Street that have
street lighting should consider whether additional parking
lot lighting is necessary.
Light sources should be hidden as much as possible. Subtle
uplighting of building elevations is preferred. Decorative
light fixtures should be used primarily for accents.
Avoid overl"ighting. Subtle and warm lighting is preferred.
Ground -lit signage is encouraged so as to integrate with the
rest of the exterior lighting of the building.
Neighborhood Compatibility:
In neighborhoods which possess examples of distinctive
architecture, structures and additions should present a
harmonious character so as not to clash or exhibit discord
with the particular surrounding neighborhood in which they
are placed. Structures should characterize a consistency
with the elements that distinguish the particular
neighborhood in which they are placed. These elements
include, but are not limited to, a sense of mass, scale,
roof lines, colors, textures, materials and maintenance of
the existing setback and patterns of development in the
particular neighborhood.
In neighborhoods which do not possess examples of
distinctive architecture, structures and additions should be
designed so as to lead the neighborhood toward designs which
are harmonious with Santa Barbara's distinctive built
environment.

When a project being reviewed by the ABR is within close
proximity to E1 Pueblo Viejo or other historic district,
designated Landmarks or Structures of Merit, special
consideration may be given to that district's guidelines.
(SBMC 22.22).
Private Property Landscaping:
Encourage use of skyline and canopy trees on private
property bordering State Street. Select trees that are
visually compatible with the existing street trees.
Where planting space permits, encourage the planting of
large skyline trees: Eucalyptus citriodora (Lemon -Scented
Gum); Platanus racemosa (California Sycamore); Washingtonia
robusta (Mexican Pan Palm); etc..
Landscape design shall identify entrances to buildings and
parking lots, direct traffic and pedestrian flow, and screen
objectionable views (i.e. trash enclosures, backflow
preventers, etc.).
Encourage the preservation and enhancement of the natural
creek areas. Planting shall be California native riparian
species (i.e. Platanus racemosa (California Sycamore),
Quercus agrifolia (Coast Live Oak), etc.).
Use flush tree grates around tree trunks and steel
reinforced paving around planters in sidewalk areas. Root
barriers shall be installed where buttressing root species
are planted.
Tree planting design shall not be compromised by lighting
requirements; however, adequate lighting for safety at night
is recommended.
Encourage foundation planting where planting will not
obscure window displays.
Trees in parking areas should branch no lower than 10 feet
above parking areas and, where truck traffic is present,
branches should be fourteen feet (141) above the paving.

BACKGROUND
Since the establishment of the Presidio and the Mission
at the end of the 18th century, the City of Santa Barbara
has enjoyed it reputation for its distinctive architectural
character. Ihis character has been enhanced by the
consistent review of new or remodeled buildings to
assure the sensitive relationship between historic older
structures and new buildings. While the buildines of
each decade express their own times, the continuance of
Santa Barbara's Hispanic architectural tradition has
created a sense of place. This Hispanic architectural
tradition has been inspired by buildings designed for
similar climatic conditions along the Mediterranean
Sea, in Mexico, and in early Southern California.
The successful adaptation of these architectural fortes,
using simple materials and light colors. has resulted in
the achievement of an architectural harmony that gives
Santa Barbara its own distinction. This harmony has
been continued by a working relationship between the
community and the designers of the buildings.
The City of Santa Barbara was one of the first com-
munities in the United States to conceive of historic
preservation as an integral element in the planning pro-
cess. At first this concept was pursued by civic groups —
The Plans and Planting Committee of the Community
Arts Association and the Architectural Advisory Com-
mittee —both of which were formed in 1922. Their
efforts were augmented in 1923 by the official establish-
ment of a City Planning Commission, and in 1925 by
the organization of a City Architectural Board of
Review (1925-26). In 1947, a new City Architectural
Board of Review was founded. In 1960 the Advisory
Landmark Committee was created to aid in the review
process for El Pueblo Viejo district, which now encom-
passes the original historic core of the Cin. the areas
around the Mission, the oceanfront, and the scenic
entrances to the City.
Historically, precedent may be found for aesthetic
controls in Roman taws of antiquity and within our
Hispanic tradition in the "Laws of the Indies." In 1910
the United States Congress created the Fine Arts Com-
mission to preserve the dignity of the national monu-
ments in Washington D.C. In 1937 the Louisiana
Constitution was amended to preserve the New Orleans
V ieux Carre District. In 1954 the United States Supreme
Court resolved any doubts over laws of an aesthetic
nature in the case of Berman vs. Parker. ruling that a
legislature may determine that a city shall be beautiful
as well as healthful.
In 1915 the Panama -California Exposition in San
Diego helped to inspire a California Spanish colonial
architectural revival in which Santa Barbara, with its
substantial colonial inventory, enthusiastically shared.
This was accelerated in Santa Barbara during recon-
struction following the destruction and damage to
many downtown buildings by the 1925 earthquake.

THE HISTORIC STRUCTURES ORDINANCE
(See Appendix .A for reference.)
In 1977 anordinancewas adopted which replaced the
former Advisors Landmark Committee with a new
Landmarks Committee appointed by the City Council.
At that time. the boundaries and design goals for El
Pueblo Viejo District were revised. and the new ordinance
also provided for additional Committee respon-
sibilities to promote the historic aspects and character
of the City.
The purpose of El Pueblo Viejo Landmark District
sections is to preserve and enhance the unique heritage
and architectural character of the central area of the
City which developed around the Royal Presidio. founded
in 1782. and which contains many of the C ity s important
historic and architectural landmarks. In addition to the
preservation of these landmarks. the cohesiveness of
the area is achieved by regulation of architectural styles
used in new construction as well as the exterior alteration
of existing structures.
The ordinance provisions devoted to El Pueblo Viejo
are the law governing architectural styles within the dis-
trict. Hence. any alteration shall be compatible with the
Hispanic tradition as it has developed in the City from
the later 18th century with emphasis on the early 19th
century 'California Adobe' and 'Monterey Revival
styles. and the 'Spanish Colonial Revival' style of the
period from 1915 to 1930.

ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES
No written ordinance or set of guidelines can detail
fully all aupecrs of the design criteria of El Pueblo �, ieio
District. While the following guidelines and their
accompanying illustrations will help answer specific
questions about Santa Barbara's Hispanic architectural
tradition. one of the most valuable wars of understand-
ing that tradition is to walk through central Santa
Barbara and obsene the designs of the buildings, their
details. and their relationship with one another.
It is not the objectixe of these guidelines to suggest
open imitations of any existing examples of architecture
within the district. They should be used as guides to
assist in a creative continuation of architectural design
within the framework of the City's Hispanic tradition.
A. Architectural Character and Building
Descriptions:
In moderate climates such as is found along the
Mediterranean Sea. in Mexico and the coastal
region of Southern California, similar architec-
tural forms have developed. Climate and historical
tradition have encouraged the use of similar
building materials: stone, clay and stucco surfaces
for walls, floor and roof tiles, and a limited use of
milled lumber. This tradition tends to convey a
hand made quality in its overall design and
details, resulting in simple forms articulated by
design orientation relative to strong sunlight. The
buildings exhibit broad expanses of stucco sur-
faces. deep reveals, porches. arcades and red -tiled
roots. Buildings also have weather protecting
colonnades and wall extensions to enclose garden
spaces and are situated with a respect for natural
topography. Other features include low-keNed
traditional colors. exposed stone and woodwork
Spanish/Mediterranean inspired ironwork camas.

traditional paving and landscaping.
Site planning is characterized by enclosed
patios and interior courtyards with somewhat
formal planting. Pools, ponds and fountains of
traditional plan and form often have axial rela-
tionships to the structures and/or fenestration of
the building. The design of parking lots and
various utilitarian structures (including trash
enclosures) should reflect the Spanish tradition.

De la Guerra Adobe, 1819-1829—El Paseo 1922-24. 1928-29
On East De la Guerra. State and Anacapa Streets
James Osborne Craig. Mary Craig. Carleton M. Winslow: Lutah Maria Riggs. 1963-65 State Street entrance.
El Paseo is an excellent case study of Santa Barbara
architectural tradition because of the way in which
important buildings of different historical periods hase
been successfully brought together. Its informal pattern
of six separate entrances which lead to the central patio
is utilized by tourists and shoppers. The atmosphere for
shopping is achieved by the blendingof many architec-
tural elements into a harmonious Complex of shops.
restaurants. offices and -,alteries tontine on exterior
streets and interior courts.
The pedestrian scale, which is a characteristic
rarely attained in the urban setting. is apparent in its
near residential dimension. Passageways. stairways.
balconies and the central patio all serve to enhance the
pedestrian scale.
The El Paseo complex exhibits restrained use of
materials and textures. Mission tile with its colorful
terra costa texture and irregular pattern is placed
against white stucco walls. The walkways are red tile
or sandstone.
Wrought iron window grilles, balconies. and hand-
rails cast shadows on plain wall planes. emphasizing
the importance of white stucco as a background to
accentuate the %artery of architectural detail.
Walls hate been thickened to convey a feeling of
masonry construction. Windows and doors are recessed
and many of the larger openings are colonnaded.
Corners are softened. and a variety ofdifferent forms of
arches have been employed. as well as openings with
flat lintels.
Landscape design provides color. shade and contrast
through use of vines, shrubs. lawns and fruit trees.
Occasionally plant material is placed in large ceramic
pots. Maintenance and trimming add to the unique
character.
The historic. early nineteenth century De la Guerra
House is an authentic Spanish Colonial adobe to which
have been added other portions of El Paseo. Here is the
intimate spirit of El Pueblo Viejo atmosphere, with
pedestrian spaces contained in flowing forms by varied
architectural elements.
Signing and graphics are tastefully designed and
restrained.

(with Lutah Maria Riggs)
The Lobero Theatre is set back from the adjacent
streets. The landscaped area suggests the public nature
of the buildine. and contrasts it with surrounding
sidewalk -abutting buildings. The stepped arrangement
of the entrance loggia. the auditorium. and of the stage
house contain the building s mass and help to make the
building appear smaller in scale. The exaggerated scale
of the base and the cornice of the stage house play ❑
visual game of scale between that which is public and
that which is more vernacular. Although uneven and
worn. brick paving successfully functions as gathering
space before and after performances.

how a form may successfully continue the city s Hispanic
.�� tradition, and at the same time appear contemporaneous
to( the mid-1930s). Features to be noted are the %erought

The Historical Society Museum is representative of a
colonial adobe tradition. Its design hints at its public
purpose, though scaled larger than a dwelling and
smaller than a mission church. Particularly impressive
is the south fountain -oriented courtyard. and the sparse
landscaping suggests what Spanish and Mexican Santa
Barbara was like in the early nineteenth century.

B. Signing
In El Pueblo Viejo, siens should be designed to
enhance the special character of the district and
the buildings on which they are placed. In general.
letteri ne over ten inches in height, the use of plastic.
or internally illuminated signs are not permitted.
Lettering in the Spanish style is preferred. Light-
ing of signs should be carefully considered and
should be unobtrusive. with visible fixtures of
appropriate style. To facilitate the process, review
of signs within the El Pueblo Viejo District has
been delegated to the Sian Committee.
The following types of siens are encouraged
L Projecting signs on wroueht iron brackets.
They may be painted or carved and painted.
Gold leaf may also be used.
2. Pinned -off metal or wooden letters applied to
the wall.
3. Signs painted directly on the wall or window.
4. Replicas of three dimensional objects. such as
a fish, a pair of scissors. a watch, etc.
Examples of appropriate signs can be found
throughout El Paseo. at the Meridian Studios
and at the cafe at Anacapa and De la Guerra
Streets.
C. Lighting:
The use of wrought iron lanterns is encouraged.
Lighting should be desiened as an integral part of
the overall building design and in character with
the period that the building represents. It should
be considered early in the design stages. Care
should be taken to avoid overlighting.
Historically, exterior lighting was used sparingly.
It was used fora purpose such as lighting entrances
and corridors. Traditionally, lighting was never
used to illuminate an entire building facade.
Outside lanterns and lamps should be of low
intensity within the white-lite color spectrum. When
using lantern -type lighting. the inside of fixture
is as important as the outside. The appearance of
20
a bare bulb may detract from the lighting design
and defeat the purpose of a lantern.
Plans should contain complete lighting details
with the type of fixture and intensity noted.
Recessed soffit lighting and ground lights should
be designed in a Hispanic manner.
D. Landscape Architecture: (see Appendix
G for expanded list of landscaping materials)
Landscape elements include noronly planting.
but also such elements as arbors, trellises. ponds.
fountains. walks, pavilions, curbs, light standards.
benches, sculpture, wall graphics. hedges. light-
ing, boulders of appropriate character and place-
ment, masonry garden walls (free-standine or
retaining), the and stone paving. textured and
patterned colored concrete paving. wood fences.
gates, ironwork fences and railings, and garden
pots, urns and sculptural figures. Garden ornaments
such as carved or cast -stone bird baths. tables,
benches and sculpture may be incorporated into
a project.
Careful attention should be given to the type
and placement of plant materials and hardscape
elements in order to parallel the architectural
time periods described in these guidelines. Where
possible. hardscape elements should be given a
patina simulating age.
Because specific elements in the landscape
such as asphalt pavement. utility vaults, backflow
prevention devices, trash dumpsters and loading
zones may not be compatible with the period. the
site plan development should be devised to
integrate and conceal such elements.
The success of a landscape composition within
El Pueblo Viejo is dependent upon the consistent
use of landscape elements that are appropriate:
plant materials should also follow this criterion.
Variegated species are notencouraged.It is not by
accident that certain plants are effective in com-
plimenting the architectural forms of the El
Pueblo Viejo District. Many such plants have
had economic, social, agricultural, medicinal
and environmental applications.
0 5 ;
Some general comments regarding plantings
are as follows:
1, The general use of a formal balanced planting
layout (i.e. with symmetrical plan forms. axis
use. etc.) is encouraged.
?. Informal or asymmetrical plan layout may in
some cases he appropriate. and may be combi ned
with formal plan layout.
3. Environmental factors me. provision of
deciduous trees to allow for summer shade and
winter sun on southwesterly exposures I should
be taken into consideration.
4. Horticultural aspects to be considered include
soil type. water availability. t?pe of maintenance
available. etc.
5. Use of annual flower beds and topiary may
be considered.
6. Use of the espalier form for trees and shrubs
may be appropriate.
7. Low water use plant material is encouraged.
E. Pasecis: (See Figure ' for location of existing
paseos)
Paseos (pedestrian walkways) are a series of
connecting private and public walkways joined
to streets. open plazas, courtyards. cafes and
shops through the central portions of city blocks.
They sometimes serve as connectors between
parking facilities. the State Street Downtown
Plaza, and the principal streets.
In Santa Barbara. planned paseos came into
existence in the early 1920s. They have tradi-
tionally been an importan means of pedestrian
circulation through El Pucolo Viejo. Because of
the pedestrian orientation of the paseos. they
promote human scale within the downtown area.
provide a pleasant experience for the user. and
open up an increased number of facades of
commercial buildings.
The paseo system has been created over the
years through the efforts of the property owners
who have recognized that these areas are important
to customer convenience and aesthetic com-
patibility and continuity. The City has con-
tributed to the system in the development of
public parking facilities which include paseos.
The Landmarks Committee considers paseos
essential elements in the historic district and
encourages their further development Santa
Barbara's Paseo System exists as a result of
cooperation and goodwill between the proper,
owners and the City.
F. Arcades: (see Appendix F for list of Notable
Arcades)
The practice of covering walkways with arched
and tlatlinteled porticos forshadc and protection
from inclement weather has occurred throughout
El Pueblo Viejo. The Landmarks Committee
considers these arcades an important element in
the district and encourages their further develop-
ment. Plans to encroach over public walkways
must be approved directly by the City Council
after review and recommendation by the Landmarks
Committee and the Architectural Board of Review.
G. Other Architectural Styles:
While the Hispanic tradition of architecture is
required by ordinance, it is recognized that other
historic architectural styles exist throughout El
Pueblo Viejo District These styles include Ilalianate,
Eastlake, Queen Anne. Craftsman, and Colonial
Rcyival. In certain cases a building may represent
an example of period architecture that is a dis-
tincti%e part of the cityscape. If the building has
been designated a Landmark or a Structure of
Merit the Landmarks Committee may approve
non -Hispanic additions to or restoration of the
structure. These designation processes are outlined
in the ordinance. (Appendix A).

4. Specific Design Elements:
a. Volumes:
*A dominance of carefully scaled unin-
terrupted stucco surfaces. with traditional
projections and recessions.
b. wall Surfaces:
• To convey a structure of stone. brick or adobe
through suggestion of thickness (mass).
• Stucco is the preferred surface cover: adobe
and stone (in whole or part) are also en-
couraged where such surface material is
compatible with the design of the building.
• Stucco surfaces are to be treated in a flat
manner to create a relatively smooth tactile
surface. suggestive of a masonry_ structure
behind.
• Wood surfaces in the form of shiplap or
board and batten may be employed in those
designs relating to California's Monterey
tradition.

C. Colors.
• Colors for wall surfaces should not be
harsh, glaring, or bright. The traditional
colors of the City are white and ivory.
• Trim colors should be dark. Santa Barbara
Blue is a traditional color for window and
door details.
• Ironwork should be treated in one of three
traditional manners: hot wax technique. lin-
seed oil technique, or painted a traditional
color.
d. Roofs.
• Form: simple low pitched gable and shed
roofs are preferred; hipped roofs should be
used only when they are related to the
architectural character of the building: for
example. Tuscan.Spanish Renaissance, or in
versions of the Monterey style.
• Flat roofs and parapets should be used only
in those cases where they are a logical out-
come of the building's traditional architec-
tural style: flat roofs with parapets should not
be employed in those instances when they
will be visible, either from adjacent buildings
or from a distance. Normally, the roofing
material is to be terra Gotta in color.
• All flat roofs should be surrounded by a
parapet which is suitably articulated by a
traditional cornice and low entablature: such
parapets shall be of a height which will hide
any rooftop equipment.

! • Where Mission tile is used on gable, shed
( and hipped roofs. there shall be a double
+ starter row employed at the eave ends, and
the tile wrapped in a traditional fashion
around the rake gable end of the building
(after doubling up): overhangs on the eave
ends are to he articulated by appropriately
scaled beam ends. Field tiles are to be laid in
random or scancred fashion. A "ood shineles
may be employed on those designs derived
from the Monterey Revival tradition.
• Projecting cupolas. towers, and varied
chimney forms are encouraged: in many
cases such roof projections can be used to
house ventilation and other heating and
cooling equipment.
• When solarcollectors are used. they should
be either integrated into the roof surface.
placed behind projecting parapets, or fully
enclosed into roof wells.

e. Ground Surfaces
•The surfaces should be broken up into
appropriately scaled geometric patterns
which are related to the design of the build-
ing. to the general area within which the
building is located and to plantings.
• Brick. tile and stone are the preferred sur-
face materials. Where concrete is used. it
should he appropriately colored, textured. and
designed in traditional geometric patterns.
• Large uninterrupted paved horizontal sur-
faces should he broken up so as to be closely
coordinated with the design of adjacent
structures.

f. Openings —windows and doom.
• Openings are to be placed as they would
occur in traditional masonry buildings.
• Openings are to be designed to suggest
the thickness of traditional masonry wall
surfaces.
• Doors and windows which occur in the
openings are to he recessed away from the
outer wall surfaces.
-The material used for door and window
Games. and for the door and window mul-
lions. are to be designed. painted or stained
and of wood. or to be of traditional steel
(iron). Aluminum is not allowed.
• Glass areas should be broken up by mul-
lions so thattheir scale incompatible with the
buildine.
• The use of openable windows is encou raged:
they should be either of casement or double
hung design.
• Windows may be covered externally with
appropriately designed metal grilles. or by
masonry grilles integral to the surface of
the building.

• Full arches of appropriate scale are preferred'
to segmented or pointed arches.
• Generally, the archlesl should spring from _
traditionally detailed columns. piers or �.>\
pilasters.
• The arches and their supports should con vev
appropriate depth.
• Careful consideration should be given to
the wall surface ahove the arch. o that suf-
ticient wall surface is present between the key
of the arch and the nest architectural element

h. Lintels:
• Lintels are traditionally of stone or wood:
where other materials are emploved such as
reinforced concrete- a suggestion should be
made that the material is either stone or
wood. Such suggestion can be conveyed by
imprinting the grain of wood or the tactile
quality otcut stone into the surtace ofconcrete
and then staining the member.
• The lintel should generally he declared as a
separate member from the surrounding
wall surface.
• Lintels should be supported by projecting
brackets. pilasters. piers or columns.
• The thickness of the lintel should he com-
patible with the suggestion of masonry "all
surface it is supporting.

i. COlumns, Piers u,d Pilasters:
• These elements should be scaled and treated
in a traditional design manner.
• The relation of the diameter of the column.
its ectasis. and its height, its base and capital
is of utmost importance.
*The bases, capitals and imposed blocks
should be designed so as to he companhle to
the column. pier or pilaster. diameter and

I Cornices and Entablatures:
• Cornices and entablatures should he scaled
to the surfaces and other architectural details
of the structure.
• The contourof cornices and/or entablatures
should be designed so that the height and
width of projection will form a harmonious
traditional element within the total design of
the building.

k Arcades and LoWas:
• These architectural elements are (whenever
possible) to be used as utilitarian features.
providing cover for entrances, and providing
semi -out-of-doors corridors or passageways.
• Since arcades and loggias are a major
architectural element, they should be played
off against broad expanses of plain surfaces.
• Careful studv should be made of the tradi-
tional ratio of proportions between the
columns. the diameter and height of the
columns, and the width of the arch.
L Esterior Staircases.
• These should be compatible with the archi-
tectural character of the design: i.e.. stucco
balustrades and stone. brick or tile treads and
risers for designs inspired by Andalusian
examples: wood railings and wood risers and
treads for designs which are an outgrowth of
the Monterey Revival tradition.
• Purely Spanish exterior staircases visually
read as a volume integral to the building.
• Monterey Revival exterior staircases visually
read as an attached thin. linear and highiv
contrasting architectural element.

m. Meta( Warts
• Metal grilles over windows and doors. as
railings. as roof brackets. as awning supports
should employ the traditional design play
between the rectangular and curvilinear.
• All metal work, whether wrought or other-
wise. should be designed with individual
members of appropriate thickness.
• Aluminum, anodized or otherwise, is not
allowed.
rt. Awnings.
*Canvas awnings should generally be de-
signed in the traditional form of a simple
angled surface. preferably open on the sides
with a plain or decorative valance.
• Metal supports with spear points are en-
couraged.
• Horizontally segmented curved awnings
and domed awnings are to be avoided. Curved
awnings may be used in those instances
where they are appropriate to an arched
opening: when used in conjunction with an
arched opening, the awning should be placed
within the arch so that the form and depth of
the arch is still visually apparent.

PUBLICATION BACKGROUND
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The Landmarks Committee began its work on archi-
tectural guidelines for the El Pueblo Viejo Landmark
District in late 1976, during the period that the revised
Historic Structures Ordinance was being considered by
the City Council. In 1978 a draft was prepared, and com-
ments were sought from the local architectural com-
munity and from the City Architectural Board of Review.
Ajoint subcommittee made up of David Gebhard and
Richard Achev from the Landmarks Committee and
Peter Edwards and Edwin Lenvik from the Architec-
tural Board of Review was appointed to further discuss
the draft guidelines.
A public meeting on the guidelines was held in
November, 1979. The following year the Santa Barbara
Chapter of the American Institute of Architects submitted
suggestions for the guidelines subcommittee, and these
were incorporated into the draft. On September9. 1981.
the Landmarks Committee endorsed the final draft and
transmitted it to City Council and to other interested
parties. The City Council endorsed the guidelines for
use in the Landmarks Committee review process on
January 12. 1982. The document received wide use.
although not yet in book form. In 1987 the Committee's
�7
updated procedures were placed in a separate document
and this guidelines publication was printed.

1. Associate Planner Leslie Mouriquand-Cherry presented the information
contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Planning
and Development Department and informed the Board of the revised
conditions.
2. Commissioner Adolph asked staff if the sign was already installed. Staff
stated it was installed but covered.
3. Boardmember Rice stated his dislike of the sign as there was too much
area between the lines of the letters. The La Quinta needed to be brought
down closer with less space between the lines.
4. Mr. Gouthier addressed the Board regarding the sign stating it was a
temporary sign for one year and the sample submitted for approval was
not a true picture of the sign. Members discussed with Mr. Gouthier the
reasons for the sign being installed before approval had been granted.
5. Boardmember Wright asked why the applicant was not installing a
permanent sign. Mr. Gouthier stated that the existing sign was in the
street easement and would have to be torn down when the street is
widened. He further stated he planned on having a competition between
the artists to design a permanent sign for the project. Discussion followed
regarding the permanent sign size and location.
6. Commissioner Adolph asked what would happen to the monument base
that is existing. Mr. Gouthier stated it would be removed along with the
trees and fence when the road was widened.
7. Following discussion, it was moved and seconded by Boardmembers
Rice/Anderson to conditionally approval of Sign Application 93-228,
based on the majority of the Board's approval of a polaroid picture of the
sign being brought to City Hall for review. Unanimously approved.
C. Conditional Use Permit 93-007 Amendment #1; a request of McDonalds
Corporation for approval of an amendment to the Conditions of Approval for a
conditional use permit which allows construction and operation of a fast food
restaurant with a drive-thru lane.
1. Principal Planner Stan Sawa presented the information contained in the
staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Planning and Development
Department.

2. Boardmember Rice asked staff why the wall should be deleted. Staff
stated the applicant's reasons.
3. Boardmember Anderson asked if a wall was originally conditioned. Staff
stated the wall was required because it was a more permanent form of
screening.
4. Boardmember Anderson asked how the playground came to be enclosed.
Staff stated it was now enclosed with a wall and glass, but the primary
purpose of the screen wall originally was to screen the cars in the drive-
thru not the playground.
5. Commissioner Adolph stated the meandering sidewalk was not drawn to
scale on the plans and he was confused as to how the applicant would
have enough room to plant any landscaping and keep a berm. He felt a
retaining wall would be needed.
6. Mr. Rob Jenkins, representing McDonalds, addressed the reasons he was
requesting the elimination of the wall requirement.
7. Boardmember Anderson agreed that the wall would become a graffiti
problem. He stated the screening of the playground was not a problem,
but rather the screening of the cars needed to be addressed. He felt
berming with tall landscaping could be a solution but there would be a
problem between the property line and the sidewalk. Discussion followed
regarding the location and slope of the berm.
8. Boardmember Harbison suggested a ground cover that doesn't need to be
sprinkled.
9. Commissioner Adolph suggested the applicant build up the curb to hold
back erosion. He informed the applicant that when the application came
before the Planning Commission he should have cross sections and
dimensions on his plans.
10. Boardmember Campbell asked why the applicant felt this wall would be
any more of a target for graffiti than any other wall. The applicant stated
this wall would be the largest expanse of any of the walls in the center.
Discussion followed relative to graffiti problems.
11. Boardmember Wright asked why the playground was moved indoors and
when was it approved and by whom. Staff stated this City Council had
approved the plans. Discussion followed.

12. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by
Boardmembers Anderson/Harbison to recommend approval of the
Conditional Use Permit 93-007, Amendment #1, to the Planning
Commission as recommended and conditioned by staff. Unanimously
approved.
Chairman Curtis joined the group and assumed the chair.
D. Plot Plan 93-512; a request of TD Desert Development (Chuck Strother) for
approval of preliminary landscaping plans, gated entrance, and administration
building on 48th Avenue.
1. Principal Planner Stan Sawa presented the information contained in the
staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Planning and Development
Department.
2. Chairman Curtis asked if a wall would be required if the noise study
showed that only the administration building needed it. Staff stated they
would need to check with the General Plan but believed that only the
administration building would be required to be walled.
DRB11-3
3. Mr. Chuck Strother, applicant, stated that irregardless of the noise study
the administration building would be walled. He further stated he had no
objections to Conditions #2-8, but was confused about Condition #1. He
went on to explain that he did not intend to use Date Palms in the medians
but rather Eucalyptus. He felt the median would be a transition to the
landscaping of the desert look to the orchard feeling.
4. Boardmember Anderson stated his approval of the look and thought it was
well thought out.
5. Boardmember Harbison stated he felt the palms were a great entry
statement.
6. Boardmember Anderson asked if the Eucalyptus would be a problem with
the roof system. Mr. Strother stated this was a different variety that was
cleaner with less maintenance.
7. Boardmember Harbison explained the maintenance problem with most
Eucalyptus was how the tree was irrigated. Discussion followed regarding
the different varieties of Eucalyptus.

8. Chairman Curtis stated his concern that the trees would be too wide and
would spill over into the travelway and trimming could be a problem and
cause additional maintenance for the City crews. Mr. Strother stated that
the Date trees were a bigger maintenance problem.
9. Boardmember Harbison stated his concern that the Eucalyptus might get
too tall for the median and recommended a different variety. He further
suggested that the double rows be spaced out with a more zig-zag
planting.
10. Staff stated the center medians will have to be approved by the
Engineering Department and the City landscape architect consultant.
11. Boardmember Wright asked if the lunchroom and restroom doors had been
addressed. Mr. Strother stated they would be revised on the plans to
separate them.
12. Commissioner Adolph asked about the grey ductwork and if the power
poles on Washington Street would be installed underground. Mr. Strother
stated he was waiting for the utility company to do so. Commissioner
Adolph asked if the power poles on 48th Avenue had been removed yet.
Mr. Strother stated the high voltage poles from Adams to Jefferson are the
only ones to remain.
13. Commissioner Adolph asked if the 12-foot high light pole in the parking
area conformed to the Dark Sky Ordinance and whether the applicant
could lower the lights. Mr. Strother stated he had no objection with
substituting with low bollard -type lights.
14. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by
Boardmembers Anderson/Rice to recommend approval of Plot Plan 93-
512, subject to staffs recommendations. Unanimously approved.

2. Board Member Rice expressed his disapproval of the buildings being
located so closely to the Boys and Girls Club building. Mr. Strother,
applicant, explained that the buildings would be screened from view. He
further explained that this location was chosen because of the existing
trees and the off street entrance for the workers. He stated there would
be a solid wall of trees on the west side that would reach 14-feet high and
would help to screen the buildings. Mr. Strother went on to explain the
changes that had already been made to ensure the buildings would not be
seen from the school site. Discussion followed regarding the distance and
landscaping of the wall on the Park Avenue side.
3. Board Member Wright asked for clarification of the continuous ridge and
whether it would have a vent.
4. Chairman Curtis stated that something would need to be done to soften the
wall and to prevent graffiti. It was suggested that "Cats Claw" be
planted.
5. Board Member Rice stated he appreciated all the changes the applicant had
made to soften and hide the buildings, but he still felt the buildings should
be moved to a different location.
6. Board Member Anderson stated he felt that with the changes and
landscaping, the buildings would be virtually hidden from site. He then
asked what the City planned for the property to the west. Staff stated it
would be landscaped at some future time.
7. Board Member Harbison stated that the landscaping on the wall on the
west side would need to a rapid growing plant such as the "Cats Claw".
8. Planning Commissioner Adolph asked if the building had double insulated
walls to help reduce the noise. Mr. Strother stated both buildings were
double insulated. Commissioner Adolph asked if the vents were rotary
and where the odors would go. Discussion followed regarding the use of
the buildings and the amount of noise that would be generated as well as
the type of fertilizers to be stored. Mr. Strother stated that if any odors
were generated by the fertilizers they would see that they are taken care
of.
9. Commissioner Adolph asked about the gasoline pumps. Mr. Strother
stated they were above ground and would be EPA approved.

10. Board Member Harbison stated that another site would be needed to store
green waste. Mr. Strother stated there were plans for a compost site
under one of the fairways.
11. Board Member Wright asked if the doors on the maintenance building
were opening to the east or west. Mr. Strother stated they opened both
directions. Board Member Wright asked if there would be a problem with
noise during school hours. Mr. Strother stated he did not believe there
would be an issue with noise but he really hadn't addressed the issue.
Board Member Wright suggested that the doors be insulated in case there
was a problem the doors could be closed to cut down the noise.
12. Board Member Wright asked what type of cooling would be used. Mr.
Strother stated they would be using slab mounted evaporator coolers.
Board Member Wright suggested that evaporator coolers be placed in the
fertilizer building as well. Mr. Strother stated he could do that.
13. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by Board
Members Harbison/Campbell to recommend approval of Plot Plan 93-511
to the Planning Commission subject to staff conditions. It was further
recommended that staff investigate the status of the City property to help
mitigate the aesthetics on the west side and that a rapid growing landscape
material be planted to cover the wall. The motion was approved on a 6-1
vote with Board Member Rice voting NO.
F. Plans submittal requirements and developer handouts
1. Staff informed the Board that they would incorporate into the handout,
where appropriate, where the Design Review Board would fit into the
application process. This revision would be brought back to the Board for
their review and comment.
2. Staff further stated that at their next meeting the Board would be
reviewing architectural guidelines. Board Member Anderson asked if staff
would contact the cities of Santa Barbara and Pueblo Viejo District and
obtain copies of their guidelines/standards. Board Member Wright asked
that the City of Irvine be contacted as well.
