Building Design The proposed architecture is inspired by the Mediterranean, or Spanish, colonial style. It shows the traditional pattern of an inner courtyard, heavy iron window grills, a gallery resting on massive pillars. Mission style, light clay tile roof would be used. The wall surfaces would be stucco with Eldorado field ledger stones covering the entrances to both the event center and the winery. The stucco finish would be smooth. Window details include the window trim and black iron grills. Window niches shown at the upper portion of the buildings would have a trim and spandrel glass. The purposes of the window niches are to add interest to the building elevation and to prevent noise and light from impacting adjacent residents. The pillars at the gallery/arcade area have artwork on the top, giving the outdoor covered walkway area an ornate appearance. The deep roof overhang, iron railing at the office elevation, exposed wood brackets, wall lamps, and the medallion add visual interest to the building design. Staff considers the proposed building design as attractive and well executed. Signage Non-illuminated signs would be installed on the walls at the entrance gate to the facility, and again on the building above the entrances to both the event center and the winery. The event center would be named as Casa Real, and the winery would take the historical name of Ruby Hill Winery. The signage would be made of steel frame with welded mesh backing. A condition has been added requiring sign details be submitted as part of the construction drawings, and are subject to the review and approval by the Planning Director prior to installation. Landscaping New landscaping would consist of olive trees, California pepper, crape myrtle, aristocrat pear, and ornamental plum species, with various shrubs, groundcover and annuals grouped in the driveway, parking areas, in the plaza and in the courtyard. The proposed landscaping would be drought tolerant, and would be irrigated with a drip/bubbler system. Drainage Proposed building grades would follow the site's existing topography. The applicant would grade the site to drain toward the vineyards. As such, the vineyards would receive all storm water runoff from the building and the parking areas. This approach has been reviewed and accepted by the Public Works/ Engineering Department. PUD-93-02-08M/PCUP-181 Planning Commission Page - 8-
