6. DRC No. 3478 - GLASSELL BUSINESS PARK
• Building facade renovation of an existing business park
• 211 West Katella Ave. & 1330 N. Glassell St. (NWC Katella &Glassell)
• DRC Action: Final Determination
The project was presented by Mr. Lon Bike -Project Architect. The proposal is to renovate the
building facade of an existing 20 years old industrial complex. The renovations pertain to the
building elevations only, and there are no site or landscape modifications being proposed at this
time. The parapet walls along the front elevations would be raised 4 to 5 ft. higher to provide
better screening for roof top mounted mechanical equipment, and the existing wood trellis
element would be replaced with a more contemporary canvas awning. Anew sign program
would also be submitted at a later date.
The DRC stated that they are in support of the proposed project, and that the new design is in
the right direction. However, there are still some reservations of how all these elements are
being tied together, particularly in the use of joints/reveals, and signage opportunities. The
DRC would like to see a color rendering of an elevation drawing to help visualize the effects of
shade/shadow and depth of the architectural elements, and further study on tenant signage
opportunities.
MOTION by Mark Paone to continue the project, based on the discussion above.
