PUBLIC HEARING: DRC 94.23 - Anneal of Desi2n Review Committee's decision to deny pronosed fence desi2n modification at 915 Paseo Ranchero. First United Methodist Church of Chula Vista A. BACKGROUND On December 14, 1992, the Design Review Committee approved the plans for the proposed First United Methodist Church to be located at the southeast corner of East "H" Street and Paseo Ranchero within the Rancho del Rey Planned Community. The plans include a masonry/wrought iron wall along the easterly boundary of the property. On January 24, 1994, the Design Review Committee voted unanimously 5-0 to deny a proposal by the Church to modify the approved plans by replacing the masonry/wrought iron wall with a wood/wrought iron fence. The Church has appealed the Design Review Committee's decision to the Planning Commission. The project is exempt from environmental review as a Class 3(e) exemption. B. RECOMMENDATION Adopt the attached resolution affirming the decision of the Design Review Committee and thereby denying the appeal. C. DISCUSSION The project site is located within a Community Purpose Facility (CPF) land use district and adjoins residential areas to the south and east. The proposal is subject to compliance with the CPF District property development standards and the principles and standards of the Design Manual. The project includes three buildings (Sanctuary, Fellowship Hall and Preschool), plus playground areas and parking for 210 automobiles. A complete list of Church activities and programs is attached. Specifically, the proposed modification calls for the replacement of a 6 ft. -high solid masonry wall with a 6-ft. high solid wood fence where the site abuts residential lots (approximately 200 lineal ft.) and, where the site abuts the public right.of.way along the Camino Catalonia cul.de.sac, the replacement of a 4.ft. high solid masonry wall topped with 2 ft. of wrought iron with a 4.ft. high solid wood fence with perpendicular sections of open wrought iron at the landscape nodes (approx. 250 lineal ft.). D. APPEAL In their appeal, the Church correctly states that the applicable CPF standards require a minimum 10 ft. wide landscape strip or minimum 6 ft. solid wall or fence on any property line abutting a residential zone. They go on to state: . The majority of the easterly boundary has or could be adjusted to provide 10 ft. of landscaping, as well as the proposed wood fencing; City Planning Commission Agenda Item for Meeting of May II, 1994 Page 2 . A grade separation of between 3.7 ft. provides a natural separation from the residential area; . A wood fence would be less imposing and provide more of a residential feel between the two areas; . The cost savings can be utilized by the Church on more visible items interior to the site. Please see applicant appeal form and statement attached hereto. E. ANALYSIS The CPF standard referred to by the applicant is stated as a minimum; it does not preclude the requirement for landscaping as well as a wall or fence (see attached for full text of standard). In this instance, the Design Review Committee found that a masonry wall is a more durable and aesthetically appropriate treatment between the Church and the adjacent residential lots and public street. This decision is based on the Design Manual principle which states: "Materials and finishes should be selected for architectural harmony, aesthetic quality, durability and ease of maintenance. " Staff concurs that the modified fence design solution is less compatible and harmonious with the complex's overall architectural composition, and also less durable and easy to maintain. In addition, the Church will provide a full schedule of programs and activities which include a Preschool for 120 children. Under these circumstances, we also believe a masonry wall represents a more appropriate and substantial separation and noise buffer for the residential lots to the east. It should be noted that staff originally raised with the Church the issue of a noise and visual buffer for the homes that abut the southerly property line. The Church, however, surveyed these property owners and found that they preferred to retain their existing walls and fences. In contrast, the property owner to the east, McMillin Communities, has stated in a letter attached hereto that the approval of the Church proposal by their RdR Architectural Review Committee included the masonry wall and that they oppose the proposed modification to a wood fence (please see attached letter). It is also believed that a masonry wall is far more appropriate than a wood fence n both aesthetically, and in terms of durability and maintenance -. where there is an interface with a public street as is the case here with Camino Catalonia. Although this may represent an interior and subordinate boundary for the Church, it will be a predominant visual element and potential maintenance concern for the residents on Camino Catalonia. For these reasons, staff is recommending denial of the appeal. WPC F:\HOME\PlANNING\1786.94 RESOLUTION NO. DRC 94-23 RESOLUTION OF TIIE CITY OF CHULA VISTA PLANNING COMMISSION AFFIRMING TIIE DECISION OF THE DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE AND, THEREBY, DENYING THE APPEAL ON DRC 94-23 WHEREAS, on December 14, 1992, the Design Review Committee considered and conditionally approved the site plan and architectural design for the proposed First United Methodist Church facility located at 915 Paseo Ranchero, and WHEREAS, on December 17, 1993, the project applicant submitted a proposed plan modification to replace a masonry wall with a wood fence along the easterly boundary which separates the subject property from the adjacent residential area, and WHEREAS, on January 24, 1994, the Design Review Committee considered and denied the proposed modification by a vote of (5.0), notice of said decision having been f1!ed with the City Clerk on February 10, 1994, and WHEREAS, a duly verified appeal was filed with the Planning Department in a timely fashion on February 18, 1994 by First United Methodist Church, and WHEREAS, the project is categorically exempt from environmental review, as a Class 3(e) exemption.

DRC-94-23 First United Methodist Church 915 Pasco Ranchero Design Modifications Staff Presentation Principal Planner Steve Griffin presented the project, reminding members that at the previous meeting the applicants had presented proposed modifications to the easterly wall and the building elevations. He stated that at that time, the committee had indicated that the proposed fencing would not be approved, and had suggested that the elevations be modified. Mr. Griffin advised that staffs recommendation was for approval of the revised building elevations and denial of the proposed wall/fence design modifications. Ap.pJicantlCommittee Discussion Wayne Holtan of Dominy & Associates stated that the elevations had been reworked to incorporate the proposed stained glass pieces within spandrel glass, and that the mullions would be painted out to match. He added that the proposal included very little visibility from the street. Committee members agreed that the new design was an improvement over the previous proposal and was better integrated into the building design. MSUC (Gilman/Speth man) (5-0) to approve the modifications to the elevations depicted on Exhibit A, and to deny the proposed wall/fence design modifications. DESIGN REVIEW COMMIT _ E -2- JANUARY 10. 1994 2. DRC-94.23 First United Methodist Church 915 Pasco Ranchero Deshm Modifications Staff Presentation Assistant Planner Amy Wolfe presented the project, explaining that the proposal consisted of design modifications to the previously approved church complex at the southeast corner of Pasco Ranchero and East "H" Street. She stated that the first request is for a revision to the previously approved wall at the easterly boundary of the project, from a block and wrought iron design to wood fencing; staff recommended denial of this request. The second modification requested involves the incorporation of stained glass pieces from the existing church into the proposed building elevations; staff recommended approval of this design modification. Committee Ouestions Member Spethman questioned a letter from the Rancho del Rey architectural review committee stating that approval for the proposed modifications had not been granted. Craig Fukuyama, speaking for Rancho del Rey Partnership, stated that the proposal had not been approved by the review board; he added that among other considerations, there was a need to ensure a permanent separation between two incompatible uses and a wood fence would not accomplish this. Ap'plicant Presentation Wayne Holtan of Dominy & Associates, project architects, stated that just the landscaping provided would meet the requirement for a separation buffer between the two uses. He stated that a wood fence would have a more residential feel, and that the landscaping to be installed would hide much of the fencing anyway. Mr. Holtan added that Rancho del Rey Partnership had certain related requirements to meet as a result of the easterly subdivision, and therefore was not unbiased in this matter. Construction manager Dick William also spoke, addressing the fencing issue for the church. Committee Discussion Chair Gilman questioned the separation requirement; Ms. Wolfe acknowledged that wither a 6' wall or a 10' landscape strip would meet the requirements of the Ranch~ Del Rey SPA plan. Principal Planner Griffin pointed out that while proposed landscaping would screen the wood fence from the church site, staff felt that the view from the residential side was also important. Chair Gilman agreed with staff that a masonry wall would provide a more permanent solution, but that a tilt-up concrete wall might be less expensive; other members agreed that masonry was preferable, with Speth man adding that the wood did not tie intO the spanish architectural theme. DESIGN REVIEW COMMIT. _E -3- JANUARY 10. 1994 Chair Gilman stated that she felt that the proposed stained glass windows interrupts the architecture and destroys the lines of the buildings. Member Speth man felt that the look of the glass pieces does not fit in with the more formal architectural style of the project; member Way agreed, noting that the glass looked like an add-on. Members discussed the proposal with the applicant; Mr. Holtan suggested that he could work with creating recesses around groupings of the glass; however, he noted that even if the pieces were set into more regular forms, they would still be random patterns within the forms. Member Speth man was unsure if this would work; however, most members felt that re.working was needed. MSUC (Gilman/Spethman) (4.0) to continue DRC-94-23 to the meeting of January 24, 1994 to allow the project architect time to re.work the design for integrating the stained glass into the building architecture.

Per the property development standards (Section C.I) .Where a CPF District adjoins a residential district: A minimum 10 foot wide landscape slrip w: minimum 6 foot solid wall or fence shall be mllintained on any property line abutting a residential zone." The Church's site and landscape plans show that along the east property line, a majority of the length has more than the minimum 10 foot landscape strip (eucalyptus grove) and other curbs could be adjusted to provide the minimum 10 foot strip. In addition, the Church is proposing to build a six (6) fool wood fence also. With the grade change that exists between the Church's property and adjoining residential zone and cul-de-sac, there is a natural vertical separation that ranges between 3 feet to 7 feet. For the Church to succeed in its new location, they want to attract the neighbors, not wall them off. A wood fence would achieve this goal and give a more friendly, residential fee. The Church use is not a retail, commercial use and should not be held to the same standards (i.e. masonry wall) as a Lucky store, gas station, etc. Finally, with the budget constraints the Church is undor, the cost savings can be belter utilized in the Church campuS on more visible items that can be incorporated into all three huildings. In conclusion, modifications could be made to comply with the minimum landscape requirements, but the Church is proposing to provide the 6 foot wood fence in addition to the existing landscape plan. Therefore, approval for this plan is requested. " .

The Rancho del Rey ARC wishes to comment on the modifications requested by the Church. Approval by the Rancho del Rey ARC is required prior to submittal by an applicant for consideration by the City Design Review Committee pursuant to the approved Design Guidelines. In this case, the ARC has not been contacted for its approval of the proposed modifications. Our understanding, based on discussion with the Planning Department staff, is that the proposed modifications include changing the wall separating the Church's parking lot from the residential subdivision to the east from solid masonry to a wood fence. When the Rancho del Rey ARC approved the original submittal to the City Design Review Committee, it required that the Church construct a six foot high concrete masonry unit wall along the entire easterly boundary. It was, and continues to be, the ARC's opinion that a wood fence will not provide the necessary separation and noise protection that should be maintained between the two uses. We became aware that the City Design Review Committee's approval included modification, specifically that a section of the wall had been approved as a four foot high concrete masonry unit wall, with two feet of wrought iron on top. The Rancho del Rey ARC did not approve this earlier modification and does not believe that it provides sufficient protection for the adjacent residents from the noise and activity of a parking lot. - City of Chula Vista Planning Department December 30, 1993 Page 2 We request that the City Design Review Committee consider the appropriate wall type for this sensitive interface between uses and to require the solid masonry wall originally approved by the Rancho del Rey ARC.
