Steve Smith reported that an existing marquee awning was serving this building already at Jerry Liss, which is approximately five store fronts away from Jewelmark. Mr. Smith noted that in 2 MINUTES ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMISSION JULY 14, 1992 speaking with the applicant the day before, he was going to go back to the client to try to get them to revise their plan. Commissioner Urrutia noted that the design of the windows have always been a real problem. He did not feel that what the applicant was proposing would be appropriate at this location. Commissioner Urrutia felt the awning needed to be pulled back some. Commissioner Holden thought the proposal created a billboard look along El Paseo, and he did not think this was appropriate. Action: It was moved by Commissioner Urrutia, seconded by Commissioner Van Vliet, to continue the request with the direction that the applicant address the following as the awning did not comply with the city requirements: 1) Maximum letter height of 8 inches. 2) Awning needs to be pulled back. 3) Restudy shape to consider covering both windows.

CASE NO.: 3074 SA APPLICANT (AND ADDRESS) : PALMS TO PINES CANVAS for STEVE BRENNEN GALLERY OF FINE ART, Pinyon Pines, Box 69, Mountain Center, CA 92361 NATURE OF PROJECT/APPROVAL SOUGHT: Approval of two awnings with signage LOCATION: 73-080 El Paseo, Suites 3 & 4 ZONE: C-1 S.P. Commissioner Urrutia asked about the surrounding area. The applicant, David Fletcher, contacted his secretary to bring in pictures of the building. The store front is three stores down from the California Pizza Kitchen. The awning would cover the existing windows with the marquee section over the door. Commissioner Urrutia felt there were too many other businesses around this store that would be blocked by this awning and did not think the awning should extend out to the street. Mr. Fletcher noted that people walking down E1 Paseo do not see anything past California Pizza Kitchen, and therefore, felt this awning was necessary to get their attention at this end of the building. Commissioner Urrutia felt the awning went beyond the intent of a marquee awning, noting that this was not the main identity to the building. Commissioner Holden discussed the suggestion of the awning extending out to the first set of columns and then cantilevered off that instead of coming all the way out to the street. This would line up more with the rest of the awnings on the building. Commissioner Urrutia agreed with the concept. He noted that the commission was trying to create some equality between the storefronts, not the conflict that this awning could create. Action: It was moved by Commissioner Urrutia, seconded by Commissioner Van Vliet, to continue the request to allow the applicant to restudy the plan as commission felt that it would be blocking the adjacent businesses. Commission directed the applicant to redesign the awning not to extend past the property line and indicated that they felt this marquee type awning was not warranted in this location. Motion carried 4-0. 4 R r MINUTES ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMISSION JULY 14, 1992 4. CASE NO.: PP 90-13 APPLICANT (AND ADDRESS) : DSL SERVICE CO. , 3501 Jamboree Road, Suite 5000, North Tower, Newport Beach, CA 92658-6030 NATURE OF PROJECT/APPROVAL SOUGHT: Approval of trellis connection between Circuit City and Ross LOCATION: Fred Waring Drive and Highway III ZONE: P.C. (3) S.P. The applicant, Wendell Hindley, noted the changes made on the proposed trellis per the commission's request. Commissioner Holden noted that when the trellis was added, the commission asked for some type of continuous covered walkways. This was the purpose of the trellis. The Circuit City representative, Mike Banks, discussed the customer pick-up area and the problems the continuous covered walkway would cause. He added that the requested continuous covered walkway would change the location of the entrance to Circuit City to the end of the building as opposed to the original plan showing the entrance in the center of the building. The applicants presented a number of alternatives for the requested trellis element. Commissioner Urrutia felt that the customer pick-up function area would not be effected by the continuous trellis. Action: It was moved by Commissioner Urrutia, seconded by Commissioner Connor, to approve Scheme No. 3 dated 7/14/92 noting that the trellis should not infringe on the lizard art work in the court yard area and should not negatively impact on the Circuit City customer pick-up area. Motion carried 4-0. V. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting adjourned at 1 :35 p.m. STEVE SMITH ASSOCIATE PLANNER SS/db 5
