c hap t e r 7 Public Gate Design Guidelines

7.1 Overview

There are six public entries to the Base (Figure 7. 1 -1).

The primary gates (Oceanside and San Luis Rey) are the most public, experience significant commercial traffic flow, and are important in establishing the Base's first impression. The secondary gates perform a more perfunctory role, and are principally used by military personnel.

Although the primary purpose of a gate is to act as a security checkpoint, it also functions as a gateway or portal to the Base. These gateways offer the first opportunity to initiate the design elements that unify Camp Pendleton.

The Public Gates Guidelines, in conjunction with Section

3. 10 - Signage, outlined in Chapter 3, will provide the necessary design recommendations for implementing improvements. A description of the Public Gates analysis is provided, outlining each site's assets and liabilities.

These analyses highlight the major issues at each gate and are intended to provide the necessary information to establish the design direction and general development standards for each gate.

7.2 Oceanside Main Gate

This is the Base's busiest public entry and is visible from Interstate 5. It also is the first opportunity to present the image of Camp Pendleton as a primary military installation.

To establish this image the Mainside gate is to receive the most significant improvements of all the gates. These improvements include the vehicle approach and exit, sentry shelter, entry landmark gates, Base identification signage, gate house rehabilitation, landscaping, and temporary visitor parking.

7.2 A. Oceanside Main Gate Observations

The following is a summary of the Oceanside Gate observations that influenced the specific design recommendations.

1. Assets

a. The Oceanside Gate is the first opportunity to present a positive impression of the Base (Figure 7.2

- 2).

Figure 7.2 - 2: Oceanside Main Gate.

(7.2 A. Observations continued)

b. Excellent queuing for cars exists at base entry and inspection (Figure 7.2 - 3).

c. Significant area exists for improving entry circulation (Figure 7.2 - 3).

d. The gate is in close proximity to Interstate 5.

e. Mature trees of Mexican Fan Palms, Queen Palms, and Eucalyptus exist.

f. The guard house is in good condition - the architecture is simple, conveying strength and durability. The roof is flat and not consistent with the Navy DPL (Figure 7.2 - 4).

2. Liabilities

a. Temporary trailers are used for facilities that are permanent.

b. General landscaping is in poor condition.

c. The sentry is in a hazardous location - surrounded by "Jersey Barriers".

d. There is no significant entry statement or signage that indicates this is "Camp Pendleton" (Figure 7.2 - 5).

e. The entry gate does not set a positive image or first impression.

f. Vehicle circulation to trailers is not direct and requires motorist to turn onto Wire Mountain Road to access the parking lot. Exiting is equally circuitous.

g. There is a lack of clear pedestrian connections between uses.

7.2 B. Recommendations

Base gates should be highly recognizable as entry points into Camp Pendleton. This is achieved through architectural elements and also with the use of consistent landscaping and site features. In general the entire entry area at the Oceanside Gate needs to be replanned, redesigned and reconstructed.

The following is a summary of recommendations for improvements to the Oceanside Gate. Additionally, concept studies are shown in Figures 7.2 - 6 through 7.2 - 8 to better illustrate these recommendations.

7.3 San Luis Rey Gate

The San Luis Rey Gate is the second most public entry to the Base. This entry receives a high volume of light vehicle traffic, serving an extensive population of active duty military personnel living off-base.

Similar to the Oceanside Gate, this entry should receive significant improvements, although on a smaller scale.

These improvements include the vehicle approach and exit, sentry shelter, entry landmark gates, Base identification signage, landscaping, and improvements to the visitor parking.

7.3 A. San luis Rey Gate Observations

The following is a summary of the San Luis Rey Gate observations that influenced the specific design recommendations.

1. Assets

a. The mature palms and eucalyptus trees provide a handsome backdrop to the entry (Figure 7.3 - 1).

b. The existence of only two inbound lanes allows for easy security checks (Figure 7.3 - 2).

c. The gate is in close proximity to the residential area of the City of Oceanside. Good access is provided to close off-base housing.

d. The overhang on the guard house provides excellent protection from afternoon sun.

e. Significant area exists for improving entry circulation.

2. Liabilities

a. The gate identification sign blocks the view from the guard house (Figure 7.3 - 3).

b. Above grade utilities create visual clutter.

c. The sentry is in a dangerous location with only metal barriers providing protection.

d. Overall the gate does not present a positive first image of the Base.

e. The use of lawn at the entry requires high maintenance to remain attractive (Figure 7.3 - 4).

Figure 7.3 - 4: Excessive lawn area requires high maintenance.

(7.3 A. Observations continued)

f. A number of the shrubs are heavily trimmed. This requires high maintenance and is not necessary (Figure 7.3 - 5).

g. Nighttime security lighting appears to be an after thought.

h. There is no pedestrian linkage to the Base HQ area or to the City of Oceanside.

7.3 B. Recommendations

Base gates should be highly recognizable as entry points into Camp Pendleton. This is achieved through architectural elements and also with the use of consistent landscaping and site features. In general the entire entry area at the San Luis Rey Gate needs to be replanned, redesigned and reconstructed.

The following is a summary of recommendations for improvements to the San Luis Rey Gate. Additionally, concept studies are shown in Figures 7.3 - 6 and 7.3 - 7to illustrate the recommendations.

7.5 Las Pulgas Gate

This gate is perhaps the Base's most isolated entry, and serves, almost exclusively, regular military personnel accessing the central/western vicinity.

7.5 A. Las Pulgas Gate Observations

The following is a summary of the Las Pulgas Gate observations that influenced the specific design recommendations.

1. Assets

a. A large previously disturbed area, used for parking, allows for possible future improvements (Figure 7.5 - 1).

b. When approaching the gate from the west, the views to the distant mountains are attractive.

c. The entry is well located to serve and secure the central portion of the Base.

d. Native landscape, requiring little to no maintenance, is growing right up to the security fencing on the south side of Las Pulgas Road.

e. The location of the gate identification sign does not bloc.k the view of incoming traffic (Figure 7.5- 2).

2. Liabilities

a. The sentry station is a temporary structure and in poor condition (Figure 7.5- 3).

b. No curbs or sidewalks are provided along Las Pulgas Road.

c. Sentry personnel are located in a hazardous area when stationed in middle of the road. Only low concrete bollards and a stop sign provide protection.

d. Sentry personnel are not provided with any protection from the weather when stationed in the middle of the road (Figure 7.5- 4).

e. The parking area to the north of the guard house is not improved.

f. Night lighting is minimal.

g. A number of signs are located at the guard house.

7.6 Cristianitos Gate

The Cristianitos Gate is the most northern entry to the Base. This gate serves a relatively limited military user population and is accessed by Cristianitos Road from Interstate 5 to the west. The cantonments closest to the Cristianitos Gate are Taiga, Cristianitos, and San Onofre.

d. A bus stop is located at the entry for base personnel.

e. Native landscape, requiring little to no maintenance, is growing right up to the curb.

2. Liabilities

a. In general, the entry is in poor condition, unsafe for personnel and in a state of disrepair.

b. The gate identity sign is behind security fencing and not clearly visible (Figure 7.6 - 2).

c. The sentry station is a temporary structure and in poor condition (Figure 7.6 - 3).

d. No curbs or sidewalks are provided along Las Pulgas Road.

e. Sentry personnel are located in a hazardous area when stationed in the middle of the road. Only orange cones and a stop sign provide protection (Figure 7.6 - 3).
