PA05-0111 Prepared by: Stuart Fisk, Associate Planner APPLICATION INFORMATION: APPLICANT: Richard Leigh 39554 Corte Gata Murrieta, CA 92562 PROPOSAL: A Minor Modification to a Development Plan to add perimeter fencing and signage to the Shire Building. LOCATION: 28656 Old Town Front Street, generally located at the southeast corner of Old Town Front Street and Main Street. EXISTING ZONING: Tourist Retail Core (TRC) SURROUNDING ZONING: North: Tourist Retail Core (TRC) South: Tourist Retail Core (TRC) East: Tourist Retail Core (TRC) West: Tourist Retail Core (TRC) GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Community Commercial (CC) EXISTING LAND USE: Commercial/Retail Buildings SURROUNDING LAND USES: North: Commercial South: Commercial East: Commercial West: Commercial 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 ORe letter was issued on May 24, 2005. The project was presented to the Old Town Local Review Board on June 13, 2005. . The Board continued the item, requesting that staff obtain additional information regarding the proposed design for signage and the applicant's intended use for the fenced yard area along Old Town Front Street and Main Street. G:\Planning\2005\PA05-0111 Shire Bldg Mod. DP\Planning\OTLRB Staff Report2.doc 1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION As previously discussed at the June 13, 2005 Old Town Local Review Board meeting, 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. Since the Board reviewed the application on June 13, the applicant has provided a statement of operations to provide additional information regarding the intended use for the fenced area along Old Town Front Street and Main Street. The applicant proposes to utilize this area for retail display of "upper end fountains, statuary, and benches". These items would be displayed in the fenced yard area and would not be moved inside the building after business hours, but would remain in the proposed fenced yard area during and after business hours. ANALYSIS Wrouqht Iron Fence As previously discussed at the June 13, 2005, Board meeting, 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 may 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 buiidingcut-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 Poiicy - 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. G:\Planning\2005\PA05-0111 Shire Bldg Mod. DP\Planning\OTLRB Staff Report2.doc 2 Staff recognizes the proposed use of the fenced yard area as a viable use and recommends that the following be incorporated into the project to meet the requirements of the Specific Plan: . Establish a landscaped display area at the northwest corner of the site to focus visual interest on the corner per the Specific Plan. . Provide a pedestrian gate to the fenced yard area with a minimum width of eight feet at Front Street to encourage an open commercial neighborhood atmosphere per the Specific Plan. . Reduce the concrete area within the fenced yard and incorporate decomposed granite or other natural surface into the majority of the yard area. . Include landscape areas adjacent to the building within the fenced yard area to enhance the appearance of this area and to make the area more appealing to pedestrians. Proposed Buildinq Siqnaqe The applicant has provided staff with information indicating that the proposed signs will be carved redwood signs, painted gold and black. Staff believes that the proposed sign colors and materials are consistent with the Old Town Specific Plan. The Old Town Specific Plan allows for one square foot of wall sign area per linear foot of business frontage. . The building frontage along Front Street is 100 feet and the proposed wall sign at the Front Street elevation is approximately 20 square feet. The building frontage along Main Street is 25 feet and the proposed wall sign at the Main Street elevation is approximately 15 square feet. Therefore, the proposed wall signs are consistent with the Old Town Specific Plan. The Old Town Specific Plan limits projecting signs to three square feet. The applicant proposes a projecting sign at the Front Street elevation of the building that is approximately five square feet. Staff recommends that the sign be reduced to a maximum of three square feet, consistent with the Old Town Specific Plan. RECOMMENDATION Staff is requesting that the Old Town Local Review Board review, provide comments, and recommend that the plans be revised (based on the above comments) prior to the project being administratively approved.

Shire Project 28656 Old Town Front Street A TT. Stuart Fisk June 14, 2005 In response to your letter dated May 24, 2005 we are submitting the wrought iron fence for the purpose of securing retail products, which we intend on retailing on our property. The items we plan to retail are upper end fountains, statuary, and benches, like the permanent ones in our improvement proposal. We feel it necessary for we would need to lock the gates to secure our products. In response to the signage we would like to run this through the board again, for we don't feel with the amount of frontage we have that it would be an issue, and the projecting sign would be sixteen feet on our property, not at zero lot line in that case I could see an issue. Thank you l~ ' /1 ---.---.. ,oj:".." -<-..._-~ /' -----.....
