Architectural Commission Report

Meeting Date: Wednesday, October 15, 2014

Subject: PET FOOD EXPRESS (P11426621)9153 Olympic BoulevardRequest for approval of a façade remodel and a revision to previously approvedbusiness identification signage. The Commission will also consider adoption of aCategorical Exemption, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.

Project agent: Jacob Webster — All American Permits

Recommendation: Conduct public hearing to discuss the project details and provide the applicant withan approval.

REPORT SUMMARYThe applicant is requesting review and approval of a façade remodel and a revision to previouslyapproved business identification signage for Pet Food Express located at 9153 Olympic Boulevard. Theproposed project includes the following components:

Facade Remodel• Paint (e) masonry wall in brown-taupe color;• Storefront system with clear glazing and dark bonze anodized aluminum framing;• Parapet cladding with wood siding, and;• Metal canopy with a dark bronzed anodized finish.

Signage RevisionThe revision to the previously approved business identification sign is limited to the sign locatedadjacent to the parking lot. Previously, this sign was approved by the Architectural Commission at theirmeeting on April 16, 2014 to be mounted on the existing mansard roof-type parapet. With theproposed façade changes now before the Commission, the connection and returns have been revised tofit more appropriately with the new design. The revised sign is now proposed to be consistent in itsentirety with the street-facing sign located adjacent to Olympic Boulevard.

Note: No changes in size or illumination of the business identification signs are proposed as a result ofthe requested revision.

URBAN DESIGN ANALYSISThe proposed façade remodel is generally a positive enhancement to the building as it provides a cleanand simple design. However, it is recommended that a greater variation in color between the masonrywalls and the wood siding be considered so as to provide more appropriate contrast to these elements.

ZONING CODE COMPLIANCEApplications for design review are preliminarily evaluated for compliance with the zoning code.Applicants are encouraged and have the option of requesting a comprehensive review separate andapart from this application. Formal compliance review will occur when a building permit application isfiled (plan check). The applicant has been advised that changes during plan check may require revisionsand subsequent approval from the Architectural Commission or staff, as appropriate.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTThe subject project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA — Public ResourcesCode §~21000 — 21178), pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines in that theproject includes the review of building design, colors and materials to the façade of the building, frontyard landscaping or minor low-scaled accessory structures, such as fences or walls. It can be seen withcertainty that there is no possibility that the subject activity could result in a significant effect on theenvironment. The project has also been reviewed and found not be a historic resource.

RESOLUTION NO. AC-XX-14

RESOLUTION OF THE ARCHITECTURAL COMMISSION OF THE CITY OFBEVERLY HILLS CONDITIONALLY APPROVING AN ARCHITECTURALREVIEW PERMIT FOR A FACADE REMODEL AND A REVISION TOPREVIOUSLY APPROVED BUSINESS IDENTIFICATION SIGNAGE FOR THEPROPERTY LOCATED AT 9153 OLYMPIC BOULEVARD (PL1426621 — PETFOOD EXPRESS).

The Architectural Commission of the City of Beverly Hills hereby finds, resolves and determines

as follows:

Section 1. Jacob Webster, All American Permits, on behalf of the property owner, Richard

J. Lauter & Co., LLP, and the tenant, Pet Food Express, (Collectively the “Applicant”), has applied for

architectural approval of a façade remodel and a revision to previously approved business identification

signage for the property located at 9153 Olympic Boulevard.

Section 2. Beverly Hills Municipal Code Article 30, Chapter 3 of Title 10, authorizes the

Architectural Commission the authority to approve, approve with conditions or deny design-related

aspects of projects located in the city’s commercial and multi-family districts, subject to findings set

forth in Beverly Municipal Code Section 10-3-3010.

Section 3. Consistent with Beverly Hills Municipal Code Section 10-3-3010, this resolution

documents the official action of the architectural commission with respect to the project.

Section 4. The subject project has been reviewed pursuant to the provisions set forth in

the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA — Public Resource Code Sections 21000, et seq.), the

State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 etseq.), and the city’s

Page 1 of 6 AC )QC—14

local CEQA Guidelines. The subject project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section

15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines in that the project includes the review of building design,

colors and materials to the façade of the building, landscaping or minor low-scaled accessory structures,

such as fences or walls. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the subject activity

could result in a significant effect on the environment. The project has also been reviewed and found to

not be a historic resource. The existing improvements to be demolished or altered were not designed by

an architect or builder identified on the City’s Master Architect list and the site and improvements are

not listed on the City’s historic resource inventory.

Section 5. The Architectural Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on

October 15, 2014 at which time oral and documentary evidence was received concerning the

application.

Section 6. Based upon the evidence presented at the hearings, including the staff

report(s), oral and written testimony, the Architectural Commission hereby makes the following

findings:

A. The plan for the proposed building or structure is in conformity with good taste and

good design and, in general, contributes to the image of Beverly Hills as a place of beauty, spaciousness,

balance, taste, fitness, broad vistas, and high quality. Specifically the project incorporates an

appropriate balance of color, high quality materials and appropriate architectural design principles to

reinforce the city’s urban form and promote the image of Beverly Hills.

Page 2 of 6 AC XX—14

B. The plan for the proposed building or structure indicates the manner in which the

structure is reasonably protected against external and internal noise, vibrations, and other factors which

may tend to make the environmental less desirable. The proposed project is proposed to be constructed

using contemporary building materials and practices, and, as conditioned, complaint with all applicable

building codes, including standards that protect against unwanted noise and vibrations.

C. Proposed building or structure is not, in its exterior design and appearance, of inferior

quality such as to cause the nature of the local environment to materially depreciate in appearance and

value. Specifically, the commission has reviewed the design and construction materials proposed for the

project, which incorporates contemporary building material of known quality and durability. Moreover,

the project design is appropriate to the building and surrounding improvements and is well matched to

the selected materials.

D. As conditioned, the proposed building or structure is in harmony with the proposed

developments on land in the general area, with the general plan for Beverly Hills, and with any precise

plans adopted pursuant to the general plan. The proposed project complies with the applicable goals

and policies set forth in the general plan, and, as conditioned, designed in a manner that complies with

local ordinances. The overall design is consistent with and appropriate to other improvements in the

general vicinity.

E. The proposed development is in conformity with the standards of this code and other

applicable laws insofar as the location and appearance of the buildings and structures are involved. As,

conditioned, the project will be designed in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Page 3 of 6 AC XX-14

F. The proposed development is designed in a manner that protects and preserves those

exterior elements of the building which the planning commission found contributed to the

determination of the project as a “character contributing building”: in accordance with section 10-2-707

of this title. The proposed project does not include a request and has not been determined by the

planning commission to be a project that qualifies as a “character contributing building” under section

10-2-707. Therefore, this finding is not applicable to the subject project.

Section 7. Based on the foregoing, the Architectural Commission hereby grants the request

defined in this resolution subject to the following conditions:

Project-Specific Conditions

No project-specific conditions are proposed

Standard Conditions

1. Revised Plan Submittal. For all projects that are approved with project-specific conditions, a revised

plan set that has fully incorporated all such conditions shall be submitted to the project planner,

both in hard copy format and in electronic format, prior to submitting for the building permit plan

check process.

2. Architectural Approval. Project approval is for the design-related aspects of the project only. No

approval is implied or granted with regard to applicable city zoning or technical codes, which may

require review and approval from other city commissions or officials.

3. Compliance with Municipal Code. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall

demonstrate compliance with all applicable provisions of the city’s municipal code and applicable

conditions imposed by any discretionary review approval.

Page 4 of 6 AC ~Q~—14

4. Compliance with Special Conditions. Any special conditions that require approval by the director of

community development, or designee, shall be submitted to the staff liaison to the commission

within fourteen (14) days of approval or prior to submittal of the plan check review application,

whichever is greater.

5. Project Rendering. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall incorporate into the

building permit set of plans, an updated color rendering of all building facades. The quality and

detail of the rendering shall be subject to approval from the director of community development, or

designee, and shall include sufficient design information to evaluate project compliance during

construction.

6. Approval Resolution. A copy of the signed resolution of approval shall be scanned onto the cover

sheet(s) of the building permit set of plans.

7. Substantial Compliance with Approved Plans. The director of community development, or

designee, shall determine if changes to the approved project are in substantial compliance with the

commission’s action. This determination shall be subject to applicable fees and charges. A

substantial modification to the approved project requires approval from the Architectural

Commission.

8. Validity of Permits. The rights granted by this approval shall remain valid for three (3) years from

the date of approval, unless extended pursuant to Beverly Hills Municipal Code Section 10-3-207.

Page 5 of 6 AC XX14

Section 8. The Secretary of the Architectural Commission shall certify to the passage,

approval, and adoption of this resolution, and shall cause this resolution and its certification to be

entered in the administrative record maintained by the community development department.

Section 9. Decisions of the Architectural Commission may be appealed to the City Council

within fourteen (14) days of the final action by filling a written appeal and paying appropriate fees with

the City of Beverly Hills City Clerk.
