DP\Planning\OTLRB Staff Report.doc 1 BACKGROUND On April 13, 2005, Richard Leigh submitted Planning Application No. PA05-0111 for a Minor Modification to a Development Plan to add perimeter fencing and signage to the Shire Building. The project site is situated on 0.16 acres located at 28656 Old Town Front Street. A DRC letter was issued on May 24, 2005. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is proposing to install perimeter fencing and signage for the Shire Building. The proposed perimeter fencing is 5 foot tall wrought iron with 6 foot tall columns and is proposed to be placed along the property lines at Old Town Front Street and Main Street. Proposed signage includes wall signs on the Old Town Front Street and Main Street elevations and a projecting sign at the Main Street elevation. ANALYSIS Wrouqht Iron Fence The project site is located in the Tourist Retail Core area of the Old Town Specific Plan. The Tourist Retail Core is intended as a pedestrian oriented commercial area. While wrought iron fences are allowed within front yards in this area of Old Town, staff is concerned that the proposed location and design of the fence will serve to obstruct (rather than promote) pedestrian movement, which is contrary to the following Old Town Specific Plan provisions: . Old Town Specific Plan Chapter IV, Design Guidelines, Commercial Site Planning Guidelines, Guideline 2 - Any building located at a corner intersection should incorporate architectural features at the ground floor which emphasize the importance of pedestrian movement. These features may include building cut-offs, walk-through covered arcades trellis structures, and other elements which focus visual interest on the corners. . Old Town Specific Plan, Chapter IV, Design Guidelines, Commercial Site Planning Guidelines, Guideline 6 - Fencing should encourage an open commercial neighborhood atmosphere, while providing a definition between public and private spaces through the use of walls fences and hedges around front yard areas. . Old Town Specific Plan Goal 1; Community Design Objective - Promote a clearly pedestrian atmosphere in the area bounded by First Street on the south, Sixth Street on the north, Murrieta Creek on the west, and Mercedes Avenue on the east. . Old Town Specific Plan Goal 1; Community Design Policy - Encourage smaller storefront pedestrian oriented design. . Old Town Specific Plan Goal 3; Circulation/Parking Objective - Create a pedestrian oriented environment in the Old Town core. Staff believes the seat wall and plantings that currently exist between the public boardwalk and private property already serve as an adequate demarcation between the public and private spaces. Staff believes that the erection of a five-foot tall fence behind this existing demarcation will make the site less welcoming and potentially serve to reduce the number of patrons that G:\Planning\2005\PA05-01 11 Shire Bldg Mod. DP\Planning\OTLRB Staff ReporLdoc 2 might venture onto the site rather than enhance the number. Therefore, staff believes that the proposed wrought iron fence should be completely eliminated from the proposed project improvements. Proposed Buildinq Siqnaqe The Old Town Specific Plan allows for one projecting sign per business. The size of the sign shall not exceed 3 square-feet. The Specific Plan also requires that the sign not extend more than 3 feet from the wall surface. Upon review of the submitted building elevation, it appears that the sign extension exceeds this requirement. So that staff may further evaluate the proposed signage, staff has requested that the applicant provide fully dimensioned sign elevations for each sign proposed and note the total square footage of each sign. The plans do not indicate the proposed materials for the signs. Staff has requested that plans indicate materials and colors that are consistent with the Old Town Specific Plan, which requires that sign colors and materials should consist of elements that were available in the 1890's. RECOMMENDATION To be consistent with the Old Town Specific Plan, staff recommends that the proposed wrought iron fence should be eliminated from the proposed project improvements. To allow staff to further evaluate proposed signage, staff recommends that details regarding proposed sign dimensions, area, materials, and colors be submitted to staff. Staff is requesting that the Old Town Local Review Board review, provide comments, and recommend that the plans be revised to eliminate the perimeter fencing and to provide additional signage information.
