ITEM NUMBER: 2 DATE: 6-1-16 Atascadero Design Review Committee Report In Brief - Community Development Department Katie Banister, Assistant Planner, (805) 470-3480, kbanister@atascadero.org PLN 2016-1584 / DRC 2016-0080 Hidden Oaks II – 24 Unit Multi-Family Apartment Complex Owner: Mike Zappas, 8189 San Dimas Road, Atascadero, CA 93422 Address: 9405 Avenida Maria Project #: PLN 2016-1584 DRC 2016-0080 APN #: 045-321-022 General Plan: High Density Residential (HDR) Zoning: Residential Multi-Family (RMF-20) Project Area: 0.98 Acres Existing Use: Vacant Staff Recommendation: DRC review and discuss proposed site plan and elevations, and provide comments to staff and the applicant for any modifications to incorporate into designs for building permit submittal. Design Review Items  Review of proposed site plan including landscaping, trash enclosures, parking, setbacks, and proposed street improvements  Review of proposed architectural elevations  Review of proposed floor plans Hidden Oaks II – 24 Units ITEM NUMBER: 2 DATE: 6-1-16 BACKGROUND The applicant proposes to construct a second phase of the Hidden Oaks Village apartment complex. The new 24-unit complex will be a mixture of studio and 1 bedroom apartments. It is located between Hidden Oaks Village and the soon to be constructed Atascadero Family Apartments on Avenida Maria. Avenida Maria is a private road that functions as a public street serving hundreds of units and Chalk Mountain Community School operated by the SLO County Board of Education. It is located on the flag lot for the first phase of Hidden Oaks Village, also owned by the applicant. The subject property, the Atascadero Family Apartments (at the corner of El Camino Real and Avenida Maria), and the County Board of Education have recorded access easements on the road. The site is zoned RMF-20 with a minimum of 20 units to the acre and a maximum of 24 units to the acre. This site is on the list of “by-right” high-density multi-family properties identified in Atascadero Municipal Code (AMC) 9-3.174(i) and the General Plan Housing Element. In accordance with AMC 9-3.174, this project does not require a Conditional Use Permit, but is not categorically exempted from the California Environmental Quality Act, so it will require a Precise Plan which includes the completion of environmental review. The proposed site consists of a 0.98 acre legal lot of record. A 10-foot-wide private utilities easement runs the length of the northern property line (approximately 1,565 square feet in area). The site is currently undeveloped and has no trees. The land slopes down from Avenida Maria to the lowest point at the northeast corner of the property. The applicant is proposing:  24 units, including a mix of studio and 1 bedroom apartments;  Two 2-story buildings with decorative features consistent with the Pueblo Revival architectural style;  A total of 43 parking spaces; 29 covered / 12 car spaces uncovered, 2 motorcycle spaces uncovered;  On-site amenities including shared laundry facility and exercise room, and outdoor barbeque/patio areas; and  Landscaping including the use of drought tolerant native plants, permeable pavers, and a functioning cobbled drainage swale. DRC ACTION DRC is being asked to review, provide a recommendation, and provide any additional input on the items that are noted in the Staff Report. Staff seeks DRC comments on the proposed site plan, landscaping, and architectural improvements. As proposed, the project will need access improvements, on-site amenities such as recreation areas, and other improvements and amendments for it to meet General Plan and zoning compliance. The DRC is tasked with ensuring the physical design of new development meets the following objectives, as established by Atascadero Municipal Code: ITEM NUMBER: 2 DATE: 6-1-16 Atascadero Municipal Code 9-2.107(a) – Design Review (1) Maintaining the rural character and identity of Atascadero; (2) Enhancing the appearance and character of the City, by reviewing the architecture and site plans for commercial, office, industrial, single-family residential subject to CEQA and multifamily residential projects; (3) Ensuring that development is compatible with surrounding uses and improvements by requiring building designs that provide appropriate visual appearance and site plans to mitigate neighborhood impacts. DISCUSSION POINTS / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Circulation (See Site Plan, Attachment 2) 1. The development must provide an accessible path to the nearest bus stop on El Camino Real. The sidewalk on the south side of Avenida Maria is likely outside the access easement and on the property owned by the SLO County Board of Education. The applicant will need to provide evidence the residents of the proposed complex have the right to use this private sidewalk. 2. If the residents have permission to use this sidewalk, provide an accessible route from the development to cross Avenida Maria and access the sidewalk. Staff recommends a raised crosswalk to slow vehicle traffic. This sidewalk may need repairs to comply with accessibility requirements. 3. If residents don’t have permission, how will pedestrian access be given to El Camino Real to reach transit and services? 4. Provide pedestrian access between Phase I and Phase II of the Hidden Oaks Village. There may be space for this along Avenida Maria or possibly in the northeast corner of the subject parcel. A gate would have to be placed in the wall at this location and an accessible path provided. 5. Provide a sidewalk along the property’s entire Avenida Maria frontage that also connects the Hidden Oaks Village. The Atascadero Municipal Code requires curb, gutter and sidewalk for all new multi-family developments and on neighboring properties in the same ownership. 6. Provide at least 8 feet of setback between the parallel parking spaces on Avenida Maria and the shared facility rooms. 7. Expand the width of the walkway between the buildings and the parking proposed along the west side of the building. The site plan calls for a 3.5-foot-wide path, which may feel very narrow between a building and parked vehicles that may overhang the curb. 8. Eliminate the gate. Gated communities are counter to the General Plan goals for ITEM NUMBER: 2 DATE: 6-1-16 city-wide circulation and slow fire and police response time. 9. Seek access agreements with the Oaks Apartments on Jornada Lane and Atascadero Family Apartments on Avenida Maria. 10. If access is not attained to Jornada Lane, provide landscaping at the end of the long driveway so the view from Avenida Maria is more attractive. Parking (See Site Plan and Carport Elevations, Attachments 2 and 5) Type Required Proposed Total for residents 36 34 + 2 motorcycle Covered 24 29 Guest 5 7 Total 41 41 + 2 motorcycle 11. Move the covered parking to the rear of the property to provide a more open site as viewed from Avenida Maria; 12. Provide a continuous parking bulb out to better accommodate parking along the Avenida Maria frontage in preference to the proposed 2 separated spaces; 13. Incorporate pueblo architectural features to the trim and supporting members of the carport structures. 14. Provide bicycle parking. Outdoor Recreation Areas (See Site Plan and Landscape Plan (Attachments 2 and 4) 15. AMC 9-3.173(c) requires 300 square feet of outdoor recreational open space per unit, or 7,200 square feet. Each recreation space must be at least 1,000 square feet in area. Landscaped areas are not considered recreation space. The proposed site plan does not provide adequate recreation space. 16. Consolidate outdoor recreation space to provide at least one larger area; 17. Consider replacing landscaping between the buildings with recreation space; 18. Consider eliminating units to reduce the recreation space requirement and to allow more space to fulfill this requirement; 19. Consider more fully incorporating the two phases of the Hidden Oaks development to allowed shared use of recreation facilities in Phase I. Internal circulation and an accessible path would be required. There may be an opportunity to provide a path at the northeast corner of the site. Landscaping (See Landscape Plan, Attachment 4) 20. The site must conform to the Water Efficient Landscape and Irrigation Ordinance, incorporating native drought tolerant plants, minimizing turf and using drip and other efficient irrigation methods. 21. Eliminate Atlas cedar from the plant schedule and replace with another tree variety. ITEM NUMBER: 2 DATE: 6-1-16 22. Landscaping may not be permitted in the utilities easement based on needed flow requirements for stormwater from other properties. 23. Provide decorative pavers or concrete at the entry. Elevations (See Elevations and Color Board, Attachment 5 and 7) 24. Provide additional windows in the south elevation of the residential units facing Avenida Maria. 25. Replace the brown/orange “Plymouth” trim color with a different bright shade. Perhaps a cobalt blue or purple with similar intensity as the other proposed colors. 26. Use more than one nuetral color for the walls to provide variety. 27. Exterior walls to be a smooth, hand troweled stucco finish.

BACKGROUND The Morro Road McDonald’s location was constructed in 1977. No major façade changes have occurred to the building since that time. The applicant has applied for a building permit to modernize the building exterior as well as interior changes to the counter and dining room. The Design Review Committee is asked to review the proposed exterior changes. EVALUATION The applicant proposes to make improvements to the existing building. The mansard roof and drive thru structure would be demolished, but the stucco of the lower wall, the ITEM NUMBER: 3 DATE: 6-1-16 windows, the tile band around the lower wall, and the reddish orange tile sidewalk would remain. Existing McDonald’s Front Elevation Proposed elevations are included as attachment 1 to this report. The new façade would have a modern design theme with a gray color palette. New parapet walls would replace the tile roof around the entire perimeter. Also proposed are new “brand walls” (the taller, dark, pop-out areas in the front and non-drive-thru sides of the building), and corrugated metal to accent the parapet wall where the stucco is the lightest shade. The applicant proposes to leave the existing stucco on the lower wall, but would paint it in the new color scheme. The new wall features are intended to be given a stucco surface to match the existing stucco. The modernization also includes white aluminum trellises that project over the windows and doors, modern light sconces and LED lights that run along the top edge of the brand walls. A rendering of the new design “prototype” for McDonald’s locations in this region is included on the next page. This is not the actual building proposed for the local store, but the materials and colors are representative, and the 3 dimensional perspective is useful. Significantly, the local McDonald’s will retain the existing windows, and will not have as much glass in the front façade. New, relatively understated signage is proposed. The brand walls each include the iconic golden arches, and a simple, white-lettered “McDonald’s” is located on the front and drive-thru sides of the building. Placing more than one wall sign on a single wall face will require an Administrative Use Permit. ITEM NUMBER: 3 DATE: 6-1-16 The applicant does not propose any changes to the site beyond the building. McDonald’s design prototype for locations in the local region – this is not a rendering of the Morro Road location, but is representative of the material and colors proposed The Design Review Committee should consider how the modern architectural style of the new façade relates to the other buildings on Morro Road especially near Highway 101. However, while Mission Revival and Colony styles are common, the architecture of Atascadero is generally eclectic. In order to successfully execute a modern façade, materials must be of high quality. A completely stucco façade with flat walls and minimal contrasting materials will make the walls appear flat and applied, rather than an integral part of the building architecture. Staff has included recommendations to provide a variety of quality building materials to facilitate an effective beautification and to help the building complement other buildings in the vicinity. CODE REQUIREMENTS The municipal code has several requirements which apply to this project:  Install a sidewalk on the Morro Road frontage. Due to the size of the remodel, AMC 9-4.159 requires curb, gutter and sidewalk. The site has existing curb, but no sidewalk. This is a Caltrans right-of-way, and the sidewalk must be constructed to Caltrans standards.  Install water efficient landscaping. AMC 8.10-104 limits turf to 10% of the suitable landscaped area. Replacement plants must be drought tolerant and irrigated with drip emitters. A landscape plan will be required with building permit review. ITEM NUMBER: 3 DATE: 6-1-16 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS  Provide a contrasting or complementing building material for the brand walls such as weathered wood, faux wood tiles, slate tiles, bricks or similar.  Project the trellis structure in the front elevation 36 inches, similar to side elevations.  Remove existing tile band in the lower wall and provide tile wainscoting along all walls of the building at the building base. Stucco placed low to the ground often becomes dirty and discolored or damaged.  Provide reglets (narrow separation strip between stucco panels in the upper wall) of sufficient size to be seen from the street.  Provide a smooth sand stucco finish, not a heavy spray texture.  Eliminate the play area and replace with an outdoor seating area. The current playground appears inconsistent with the modern design esthetic. Alternatively, redesign the playground fencing to be compatible with the new building façade perhaps using the white metal theme of the trellis.  Replace the damaged fence between the pedestrian walkway and drive-thru with materials that complement the new design (See attachment 4).  Remove or replace the orange tiles on the walkways adjacent to the building (See attachment 3).  Replace the garbage enclosure door with a new solid metal door (see attachment 4).  Provide shrubs at the rear and drive-thru sides of the garbage enclosure.  Provide parking lot trees at approximate 30 foot intervals (see attachment 2).  Provide 3 street trees on Morro Road at an approximate 30 foot interval (see attachment 2).  At a minimum, provide landscaping in the front setback and along the side property lines.
