MINUTES PREPARED BY: ______________________________ Lara Huskey, Recording Secretary 3 ITEM NUMBER: 2 DATE: 3-15-17 Atascadero Design Review Committee Report In Brief - Community Development Department Kelly Gleason, Senior Planner, 470-3446, kgleason@atascadero.org PLN 2017-1634 Exterior Remodel 8040 El Camino Real Property Owner George Kartsioukas 990 Herdsman Way Templeton, CA 93465 Address: 8040 El Camino Real APN: 056-031-043 General Plan: General Commercial Zoning: Commercial Retail Project Area: 0.307 acres Existing Use: Vacant Proposed: Exterior remodel of existing building Recommendation: Staff recommends that DRC review the proposed façade modifications and make any recommendations on design, color, and/or signage locations. BACKGROUND The property is located along El Camino Real just south of the Curbaril intersection. The building was most recently occupied by “Go for it Sports” however the building is currently vacant. The owner is looking to complete some interior and exterior building enhancements to attract new tenants and bring the building up to code in terms of accessibility. 8040 El Camino Real Wendy’s Smart and Final Center Walgreens 4 ITEM NUMBER: 2 DATE: 3-15-17 EVALUATION Architecture and Color: The applicant proposes to make improvements to the existing building with new exterior finishes and color. The remodel includes interior modifications to meet accessibility requirements including an upgraded bathroom and relocating the main entrance on El Camino Real to the southern portion of the building to eliminate the stairs. This will allow for an at-grade accessible entrance from the sidewalk. The building is set back less than one foot from the existing property line at the street which limits the opportunities for façade modifications. The applic ant is proposing to add as much façade variation as possible along the El Camino Real frontage with the inclusion of arched column elements and awnings. The column elements include brick veneer and the building will be repainted with a variety of earth ton ed colors to add variety to the façade. The new façade would have a modern theme with a dark gray primary color and light gray cornice. Window trim is proposed to be a soft white and doors will have a yellow accent color. The proposed awnings will be black fabric. As the awnings will project into the City’s right-of-way due to the limited setback, conditions will be added to the permit to ensure that adequate minimum required vertical clearance is maintained. Please refer to Attachment 1 for project plan set. Signage: New signage will be proposed when a tenant chooses to occupy the space(s). The building has 3 facades that can have signage based on the Atascadero municipal Code. The existing and proposed façade facing El Camino Real has limited building area for wall mounted signage but will have ample room to accommodate awning signage and window graphic displays. As this building has both a parking lot on the north and south side of the building, signage will also be permitted in these locations. All signs are recommended to meet Municipal Code requirements related to size and placement. Per Municipal Code, awning signs may be painted, silk-screened, or appliqued onto the awning. The size of the signage shall not exceed twenty -five percent (25%) of the area of the awning faces, and may project maximum of five (5) feet into the public right -of-way, and must maintain minimum vertical clearance from the ground of eight (8) feet. Staff Permit Recommendations and Requirements  All signs shall meet Municipal Code requirements related to size and placement.  Awnings shall be securely attached to the buildings and well maintained.  All building lighting and any new parking lot lighting shall be full cut-off style and shall be designed to minimize off -site glare.
