ROLL CALL Present: Board Members: *Allen, Blair, Montgomery, Moore, and Chairman Harker Absent: None Also Present: City Clerk Jones, Development Processing Coordinator Noland, Project Planner Rush, Redevelopment Director Meyer, Redevelopment Management Analyst Hillberg, and Minute Clerk Savage *(It was noted that Board MemberAIlen arrived at 9:02 A.M.) PUBLIC COMMENTS Mr. Sam Pratt, Temecula, California, reported his impressions of the historical City of Leavenworth in the State of Washington. Leavenworth is located on the eastern slope of the Cascades and is a former logging and lumber mill town whose population reached nearly 5000 but declined to less than 800. Its residents determined to save their community by promoting and developing it as an old-fashioned western lumber town. Mr. Pratt noted that Leavenworth has been distinguished by receipt of the Sears Award for the finest redevelopment of a small city in the United States, that it has several new motels, and that it is one of Washington's major tourist attractions (attracting over 500,000 visitors each year). Mr. Pratt voiced admiration for Leavenworth's citizenry which has worked together to make many improvements in order to save their community. Mr. Pratt noted that although many Old Town properties have absentee owners, if the Board could find a way to motivate more property owner interest in Old Town, the historical development could proceed with less City expense, plus providing improved properties for owners. Mr. Pratt's suggestion, if successful, could assist in improving visitors' interest in the Old Town Temecula historical district. Mr. Pratt urged the Board and the staff to consider for Old Town the methods Leavenworth has applied in successfully restoring its community and attracting visitors. The Board agreed that Leavenworth's progress, as a result of determined private citizen involvement, deserves investigation and asked Development Processing Coordinator Noland to 1 PAPLANNING\Noland\LRB07OS02.doc contact the Leavenworth Chamber of Commerce to request materials. Mr. Noland will research Leavenworth on the internet and report to the Board at the August 12, 2002, Board Meeting. PRESENTATION AND SWEARING-IN Chairman Harker welcomed new Board Member Peg Moore, who recently returned to Temecula Valley from a nine-year residency in Maryland. Ms. Moore was a Temecula Cit~, Council Member when she last lived here. City Clerk Jones officiated at Ms. Moore's swearing-in. Ms. Jones, other Board Members, and staff congratulated and welcomed Ms. Moore to the Board. CONSENT CALENDAR 1. A.qenda RECOMMENDATION: 1.1 Approve agenda of July 8, 2002 MOTION: Board Member Montgomery moved to approve the agenda, as written. The motion was seconded by Board Member Blair and voice vote reflected unanimous approval. 2. Minutes RECOMMENDATION: 2.1 Approye the Minutes of June 10, 2002 Board Member Blair recommended a modification to the May 13, 2002, Minutes. On page 8, the first full paragraph, the phrase at the end of the first sentence; "historical district planning board member in another city," should be deleted and replaced as follows: "as a staff member in another city which has historical districts which he served during his employ." MOTION: Board Member Blair moved to approve the minutes, as amended. The motion was seconded by Board Member Montgomery and voice vote reflected approval with the exception of Board Member Moore who abstained. BOARD BUSINESS Planninq Application No. 02-0237 - Install detachable fabric awninqs to the roof fascia of the north and east elevations of an existinq restaurant buildinq in Old Town Temecula (continued from the May 13, 2002, meetinq). 2 P:\PLANNING\Noland~LRB070802.doc RECOMMENDATION: 3.1 Staff is requesting that the Old Town Local Review Board evaluate the color, materials and design of this proposal and provide direction for staff as to its consistency with the Old Town Specific Plan. Chairman Harker noted that the Applicant Mad Madeline's Grill, a restaurant,applied to install awnings over its outside eating area. Development Processing Coordinator Noland advised that the information previously presented to the Board remains viable. The Board's recommendation was continued because several questions regarding the applicant's plan remained outstanding. Thus, Mr. Bert Hamilton, owner of Mad Madeline's, and Mr. Bob Madden, a representative from the proposed awning installation contractor, were present to answer questions and address concerns. The Board and staff noted that issues from the last meeting include how the awnings would be attached to the building, whether the pitch of the awning would match the pitch of the existing · building's roof, how the clear plastic curtain would be used and rolled up and down, the permanency of the proposed awning's structure, the color of the frame structure, and the possibility of extending the roof instead of using an awning. Mr. Madden gave an overview, addressing the concerns noted and including other points as well. His comments follow: · Mr. Hamilton applied for installation of the awnings in order to shade the patio area of Mad Madeline's during summer heat and to allow for plastic curtains to be lowered during winter storms. This would enable use of a larger patio service area and be more comfortable for patrons. · Oscar's restaurant in Temecula has exactly the same style of awnings as the proposed awning; Mr. Madden asked Board and staff to visualize that attractive and functional installation. · The proposed plastic roll-up curtains will be bordered with the same color fabric as used for the awning. · The plastic curtains roll up and down very easily using a rope and pulley system. To open, a rope is pulled down and hooked to a cleat; a rolled-up curtain will not be easily visible as it will roll behind a valance. When bad weather occurs, the rope. can be released from the cleat, allowing the curtains to unroll. The edge of the curtain will attach with a boat-type cleat to the front of the existing rail around the patio. This attachment will keep the curtains from blowing in windy conditions, and will direct rain away from the serving and walking area during storms. · The existing roof pitch is 12/3 and the proposed awning canopy's pitch would be 12/2; a 12/2 pitch will maintain a seven foot height at the lowest point under the awning's ceiling, in accordance with Code. (A photo of a Carl's Jr. awning, installed last year by the company Mr. Madden represents, was shown as an example of an awning whose pitch is less than that of an existing roof structure.) · The framework for the awnings will be constructed of two-inch square steel, powder-coated to match the fabric color. There will be three steel posts across each open side of the patio. · The edge of the awnings will extend to the inside of the existing railing around the patio. 3 P:\PLANNING\Noland~LRB070802.doc · The awnings will be mounted with an easily detachable Z-clip, allowing for bolting to the roof rafters' fascia, just under the existing roofs shingles; the square tubing frame drops into the Z-clip. · The awnings proposed will be made of a fire-retardant variety of canvas in "crimson red," a color which is compatible to "copper red" in the Specific Plan approved Preservation Palette. · Mad Madeline's patio area will gain a uniform look by installing the proposed awnings. The awnings will replace the multi-colored and designed umbrellas used for shade in the past. · The installation would be considered a permanent structure. In response to Board Member Blair, Mr. Noland reiterated that the Specific Plan approves awnings for signage. An example of this type of awning is that approved for Country Home, Country Garden. Staff requested direction from the Board concerning this application, because the proposed type of awnings and their proposed application are not addressed in the Specific Plan. He added that he has seen similar types of attractive awnings used in other historical areas. Mr. Noland recommended that both various awning styles and different types of umbrellas be addressed in the revision to the Specific Plan currently being formulated by the Planning Department. The Board requested clarification regarding the pitch of the awnings as it relates to minimum walking traffic height and thus to safety in the patio area. Staff requested that a Building and Safety Department representative address this question. Mr. Noland, referring to the Minutes of the May 13, 2002, meeting, noted that it appears that the seven-foot height is the minimum acceptable to Code. Plan Checker/Building Inspector Gary Formoe joined the meeting and confirmed that seven feet is the minimum ceiling height per Code. Board and staff suggested that when Mad Madeline's needs new paint that the future paint color should match that of the proposed "crimson red" awnings instead of the buildings existing brighter red. Having clarified the questions raised at the Board's last meeting, Chairman Harker asked for a motion to proceed. MOTION: Board Member Montgomep/moved that the Board advise the staff to accept the application as presented. The motion was seconded by Board Member Allen and voice vote reflected unanimous approval. Planninq Application No. 02-0280 (Monument Siqn) - for one (1) monument si.qn to be erected adiacent to the east elevation of the Stampede buildinq located in Old Town Temecula. RECOMMENDATION: 4.1 Staff is requesting that the Old Town Local Review Board evaluate the design of this project and provide direction. Mr. and Mrs. Derek Thomas, pastors of God's Country Church, P.O. Box 891115, Temecula 92589, were present to address questions regarding the proposed signage. Chairman Harker asked Mr. Thomas to describe the proposed monument sign and invited questions from the Board and staff. During the ensuing discussion, Mr. Thomas noted the following: 4 P:\PLANNING\Noland~LRB070802.doc · The proposed sign would be placed in an existing landscaped flower bed directly in the center of the east side of the Stampede building, near some lights which previously lighted another, now removed, sign. · The proposed sign would be one-sided and would be parallel with the building, facing Old Town Front Street. The sign's parallel placement would be due to its size likely disallowing a diagonally placed two-sided sign at this narrower location. There is a jog in the building at this point. · The sign, as diagramed/planned, would have a total width of approximately five feet and a height of four to five feet. Development Processing Coordinator Noland noted that phone numbers on signs have been discouraged in the past, and the proposed sign does include the church's phone number. He requested the Board's clarification on this issue. Board Member Montgomery commented that God Country's Church is in a unique situation since it does not maintain offices in The Stampede - the church simply meets there every Sunday. Pastor Thomas agreed that a number is needed on the church's sign so that inquiries at The Stampede would be reduced. Board Member Blair asked if a separate smaller attached sign could include the phone number, as it appears from the rendering that the phone numbers are permanently sandblasted into the sign. He noted that due to the rapid growth of the Temecula Valley area, phone numbers have been altered in the past and may continue to occasionally do so. The staff and the Board concurred that including a phone number is appropriate in this unique situation, suggesting also that the area containing the phone number be flat in order that a number could be changed by repainting. Pastor Thomas voiced his appreciation for this suggestion. The Board approved the applicant's choice of colors, all being taken from the Specific Plan's approved palette, and the general appearance of the sign. MOTION: Board Member Allen moved that the design be accepted and recommended approval of the application. The motion was seconded by Board Member Blair and voice vote reflected unanimous approval. DIRECTOR OF PLANNING REPORT Director of Planning Ubnoske had a conflicting meeting and could not be present to report. Chairman Harker asked Staff if they knew the status of the Specific Plan revisions. Mr. Noland advised that Ms. Ubnoske had provided material in the members' monthly packages that concerned revisions to date, asking the Board to review the materials before another meeting is planned to address further revisions. That forthcoming meeting, in approximately one to two months, will likely be a longer meeting at which discussions will enable moving forward with a revised Specific Plan. DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT REPORT Director of Housing and Redevelopment Meyer reported that the plans and specifications for the seismic retrofit of the Mercantile Building have been signed and a bid list has been prequalified. Staff expects a fairly prompt turnaround to receive bids for the work. Those bids will be forwarded to the Council in order to get the work started as soon as possible. 5 P:\PLANNING\Noland~RB070802.doc Board Member Blair asked Mr. Meyer about the progress of installing Old Town's side-street directional signage. Mr. Meyer reports that he has asked the fabricator to install signage by the end of the week. Chairman Harker asked if a final decision had been made regarding having a horse statue versus a wagon in the Southern Gateway Landscaping area. Mr. Meyer responded that a wagon will be used. Several Board Members voiced their agreement with this decision. BOARD MEMBERS COMMENTS Board Members asked for a status report concerning Code violations at the Barron's property on Pujoi Street, noting that the trailer on the Barron's property recently had stucco applied to its exterior and new windows were installed. Project Planner Rush responded that a notice from the City was sent to the Barron's property owner, after consultation with the City's Deputy Attorney, quite some time ago. That notice specifically listed what could be done with the trailer. Apparently the owner did not adhere to the recommendations made. Thus, Mr. Rush will consult with the principal planner who is in charge of Code Enforcement to start resolving any infringement. At 9:42 A.M. Chairman Harker formally adjourned this meeting to Monday, Au.qust 12, 2002, at 9:00 A.M. in the Community Development Conference Room, City Hall, 43200 Business Park Drive, Temecula, California 92590 Chairman William Harker Director of Planning Debbie Ubnoske 6 P:\PLANNING\Noland~RBO70802.doc CALL TO ORDER MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE OLD TOWN TEMECULA LOCAL REVIEW BOARD AUGUST 12, 2002 The Old Town Temecula Local Review Board convened in a regular meeting at 9:00 A.M., on Monday, August 12, 2002, in the Main Conference Room of Temecula City Hall, 43200 Business Park Drive, Temecula, California.

Aqenda RECOMMENDATION: Board Members: Allen, Blair, Moore, and Chairman Harker Board Member Montgomery Development Processing Coordinator Noland, Associate Planner Rush, Redevelopment Management Analyst Hillberg, and Minute Clerk Savage 1.1 Approve agenda of August 12, 2002 MOTION: Board Member Blair moved to approve the agenda, as written. The motion was seconded by Board Member Moore and voice vote reflected approval with the exception of Board Member Montgomery who was absent. 2. Minutes RECOMMENDATION: 2.1 Approve the Minutes of July 8, 2002 Chairman Harker recommended a modification to the July 8, 2002, Minutes. A word should be changed on page 6 in the first full paragraph; change the word "station" to "statue;" 1 P:\PLANNING\Noland\LRB081202.doc MOTION: Board Member Blair moved to approve the minutes, as amended. The motion was seconded by Board Member Moore and voice vote reflected approval with the exception of Board Member Montgomery who was absent. BOARD BUSINESS Planninq Application No. 02-0393 -A si.qn proqram (three wall si.qns and one mini- monument sign) and new paint for a commercial buildin.q with three suites in Old Town Temecula. RECOMMENDATION: 3.1 Staff is requesting that the Old Town Local Review Board review, provide comments and approve: (1) The repainting of this building as proposed, and (2) The sign program including sign sizes, materials, colors and location. Development Processing Coordinator Noland explained that staff has been working with the new owner of the building to improve its exterior, and that The Applicant has cooperated with the applicant has cooperated with staff in preparing the proposed Sign Program. The applicant's representative, Mr. Chris Giapapas, 32245 Callesito Fredrique, presented a rendering of the proposed new paint for the building: using Birdseye Maple as the base, Roycroft Vellum for the trim and Roycroft Copper Red for accents. The three paints were selected from the preservation palette samples included in the City of Temecula Old Town Specific Plan, as amended. Mr. Giapapas responded to questions regarding the building colors and plans for signage. Mr. Noland confirmed that the monument sign, as referenced in the Applicant's proposed Sign Program, is within the Applicant's property boundary. Discussion ensued concerning overall design, the icons on the signs, and sign placement. Chairman Harker asked for additional comments from the Board, and the number of colors used on the signs was addressed. Mr. Noland noted that the monument sign will tie in with the building color scheme and each individual business in the building may use other colors, with a maximum of four colors per sign, as per Specific Plan guidelines. The Board and staff complimented Mr. Giapapas on the planned improvements to the applicant's property. MOTION: Board Member Moore moved to approve the repainting of the building and the sign program, as proposed. The motion was seconded by Board Member Allen and voice vote reflected approval, with the exception of Board Member Montgomery who was absent. Planninq Application No. 02-0403 - Vendor Cart (Popcorn, cotton candy, snow cones, cold drinks, ice cream) RECOMMENDATION: 4.1 The cart proposed in this application has been determined by staff to be consistent with the Old Town Specific Plan as to size, materials and colors. Staff is requesting that the Old Town Local Review Board review, provide comments and approve this project. 2 P:\PLANNING\Noland~LRB081202.doc Development Processing Coordinator Noland noted that the proposed vendor cart is the first cart application that has been presented to staff. He added that the uniquely designed cart described in this application was manufactured in Ohio, and that there are also some local companies that can construct metal and/or wooden carts appropriate in design for use in Old Town. In response to Chairman Harker, Mr. Noland responded that the applicant, Mr. Davies, would store the cart, when not in use, either inside The Country Porch Antiques building or he will move it to his business' location. While in use, the vendor cart would be located on right-of-way of The Country Porch Antiques property. The owner of The Country Porch has an agreement with Mr. Davies to locate the cart on The Country Porch property, to sell from that location, and to provide an underground electric connection to the cart. (The Specific Plan disallows carts moving from site to site in Old Town.) I~lr. Noland added that cads are required to be in the right-of-way of improved commercial property. For Board Member Moore, Mr. Noland noted that the hours specified in the Specific Plan, 6:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M., are the only hours allowed for operation of any cart, but it is likely that the cart will not be operated during that full time span. Also, if approved, the term of operation would be for one year. The Board voiced their approval of the unique old-time design of the cart. MOTION: Board Member Blair moved to approve the cart project, as proposed. The motion was seconded by Board Member Allen and voice vote reflected approval with the exception of Board Member Montgomery who was absent. o Planninq Application No. 02-0425 - An Administrative Development Plan to desiqn and construct a 540-square foot addition to the existing Verizon building lobated at 41963 Moreno Road. RECOMMENDATION: 5.1 Staff is requesting that the Old Town Local Review Board recommend approval for the proposed 540-square foot expansion to the existing Verizon Building. Associate Planner Rush introduced Mr. Tony Finaldi, STK Architecture, 2575 San Jacinto, San Jacinto, who appeared on behalf of the applicant to explain the proposed project. Mr. Finaldi relayed the following information concerning this particular proposal: · That this project would encompass a 540-square foot expansion to the rear of the existing telephone operations building and that this addition would not be visible from the street. · That currently there is no sidewalk on the east elevation of the building. A new driveway apron would be constructed, and a sidewalk to an existing apron would be added that would tie the sidewalk into the existing U.S. Post Office sidewalk. · The landscaping on the east elevation of the property would be redone in a dry river bed motif, using river rock, shrubs and bushes, while the existing tall eucalyptus trees would be retained. 3 P:\PLANNING\Noland\LRB081202.doc · The building's existing tower, constructed of wood, would be repainted in Rockwood Dark Brown, a Specific Plan preservation palette color which is a medium brown color and would replace the present dark reddish color. · Although some parking would be eliminated by the building addition, there will not be a lack of parking since the number of employees working at the site at any one time is only three or four. The handicapped parking area will be relocated in the existing lot. · The split-faced masonry block operations building would be secure, open only to employees who work at that site. Associate Planner Rush pointed out the before and after photographic renderings of the project included in the Agenda packet material. Chairman Harker invited further comments and the Board agreed the project would improve the appearance of the Verizon property. MOTION: Board Member Allen moved to approve the 540-square foot expansion to the Verizon building, as proposed. The motion was seconded by Board Member Moore and voice vote reflected approval with the exception of Board Member Montgomery who was absent. Planninq Application No. 01-0277 - A Revision to an approved Administrative Plan PA01- 0277 to include eliminating the approved wood deck and replacing it with a wood picket fence located at 41971 Main Street. RECOMMENDATION: 6.1 Staff is requesting that the Old Town Local Review Board recommend approval for the proposed change to the approved Planning Application 02-0277 with modifications to the location of the fence, landscaping, trash can and patio furniture. Associate Planner Rush explained that the applicant had submitted a plan last year, which included installation of a door from the building onto a proposed raised deck with patio seating. The applicant has since stated that due to financial and ADA restraints, he did not go forward with the plans. Instead, the applicant applied a red concrete material on the outdoor eating area and a former tenant placed patio furniture on the area. Staff proposes requiring the applicant to tie the eating area into the building by building a three-sided fence with a gate. This would tie the eatingarea into two corners of the building and alleviate customers walking through landscaping to access the patio seating. Mr. Rush added that the applicant plans to apply for a license to sell beer and wine. Should a liquor license be approved, the applicant's customers who choose to open alcoholic beverages will be required to consume alcohol only in the outside restricted and enclosed area. Although the applicant has proposed fencing only the front Main Street side of its eating area, staff is recommending that applicant add two additional sides and an entry gate to the proposed fence (the fourth side of the enclosed area would be the side of the building to which the fence would be tied in). Additionally, staff would like to condition the permit to include specific landscaping plantings on the north and east portions of the property and the addition of potted plants on the deck to replace landscaping which was taken out when the eating area was created. Staff would also condition approval based on the applicant's provision of a trash container and seating which would be consistent with historical fixtures in Old Town. 4 P:\PLANNING\Noland~LRB081202.doc The property has an owner and a tenant, both of which staff has contacted regarding this application. Staff is recommending approval of the application, with the above-described modifications. Chairman Harker, agreeing with the wrap around of the fence, questioned the east tie-in area and Mr. Rush explained that the east area is adjacent to the Tall Tree Mall. Staff recommends that landscaping to the east be improved behind the tied-in fence and up to the Tall Tree Mall property line. Board Member Moore questioned whether the small out building at the back of this properly would be removed. Mr. Rush stated that the applicant is currently planning to remove the out building in an action separate to the application. Mr. Rush displayed a sample of an approximately four-foot picket fence that is sold in sections of approximately four feet tall by eight feet length each, which would be used for the fence construction. The Board concurred that a painted picket fence, along with improved and added landscaping would significantly upgrade the applicant's property and make it more consistent with the overall appearance of Old Town. MOTION: Board Member Allen moved to approve the project as proposed, subject to additional fencing with a swinging entry gate being built to enclose the entire eating area, and with additional landscaping, a trash container, and aesthetically improved patio seating. The motion was seconded by Board Member Blair and voice vote reflected approval with the exception of Board Member Montgomery who was pbsent. Planninq Application No. 02-0405 - A sign program for a new commercial/office buildinq in Old Town Temecula (the Penfold Buildinq). RECOMMENDATION: 7.1 Staff is recommending that the Old Town Local Review Board review, provide comments and approve this sign program. Mr. Brian Keefer of Freedom Signs, 25681 Waldon Road, Menifee, appeared on behalf of the applicant. Chairman Harker and Development Processing Coordinator Noland invited Mr. Keeferto describe the signage plan. Mr. Keefer noted the following: · The sizes and colors in the Penfold sign program have been stated minimally to subtly enhance the new and attractive Penfold building. The Penfold building currently has three tenants leasing on the ground floor and there is space for additional tenants on the second floor. - Metal brackets to hold extending signs will be permanently placed so that signs can be easily changed if tenants change. · Each tenant will have the option of choosing and contracting for the design style of its sign as long as the sign is designed and created according to the proposed Penfold sign program. Staff noted that the proposed signage plan limited the number of colors per sign to three, while the Specific Plan allows up to four major colors. The Board and staff also discussed the feasibility of allowing materials other than wood, such as high-density styrene, for signage in Old Town. It was noted that the Specific Plan specifically requires wooden frames for windows, and 5 P:\PLANNING\Noland~RB081202.doc no vinyl or aluminum frames are allowed. Mr. Noland pointed out that he has, however, seen signs produced in a material that appears to be carved wood but which is in actuality a material other than wood. He noted a bakery sign he particularly admired during a recent trip to Cambria, California. The Board asked that the question of allowed sign materials be addressed when the Staff and the Board meet to discuss the proposed amendment to the Specific Plan. The Board commended Mr. Keefer on his interest and participation in assisting the applicant with a sign plan for the Penfold Building, as well as his general concern for maintaining historically appropriate signage in Old Town. Based on a careful review of the sign plan, Board Members discussed with Mr. Keefer how the sign plan could be reworded to offer more breadth of use. MOTION: Board Member Allen moved to approve the sign program for the Penfold Building, subject to revising Sections 1.C.2. and 2.H.3. Those sections should be replaced by the statement: "Hand-carved, kiln-dried wood or like material as described in the Old Town Temecula Specific Plan." The motion was seconded by Board Member Blair and voice vote reflected approval with the exception of Board Member Montgomery who was absent. DIRECTOR OF PLANNING REPORT Mr. Noland advised that Director of Planning Ubnoske relayed her apologies for he~' absence during this and the last meeting. He noted that Ms. Ubnoske has been delayed by her involvement with the redesign of various City processes. The Planning Department continues to review and work on suggestions made regarding the proposed amendment to the Specific Plan. Redevelopment Director Meyer expects to meet with the Board in September, October, or at a special meeting concerning the amendment. Mr. Noland reported that he did look into Leavenworth, Washington's historical development and has received materials for review. Redevelopment Management Analyst Hillberg reported that installation of directional signage in the Tourist Retail Core of Old Town has been completed. Associate Planner Rush reported that Code Enforcement is aware of changes made at the Barron's property on Pujol Street, as described at the last Board meeting, and staff is looking into that issue. BOARD MEMBERS COMMENTS Board Member Moore noted that she would be unable to attend the September 9, 2002, board meeting. Mr. Noland acknowledged that Alternate Board Member Perkins would be invited to attend in her absence. He requested that Board Members advise staff of anticipated absences before the Wednesday preceding the meeting in order that an agenda could be mailed to the alternate Board Member. Board Member Allen clarified for the benefit of the applicant's representatives that while the Specific Plan preservation palette color samples are Sherwin Williams paints, applicants are not exclusively bound to select Sherwin Williams brand. Other brands of paints that match the color samples in the Specific Plan preservation palette are acceptable. Board Member Allen provided 6 P:\PEANNING\Noland~LRB081202,doc an equivalent paint sample- a Vista color palette - to Staff in the past. Mr. Noland affirmed his statement and noted that applicants have used Vista and Dunn Edwards paints, among others, and that thers are no limitations on the brand of paint in the Specific Plan, only on the colors of paint.
