G:\WPDOCS\PC Minutes\1 AgendaMdoc PH #A PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DATE: JUNE 27, 2006 CASE NO: RW-C 2006-001 APPLICANT: CITY OF LA QUINTA REQUEST: CLOSE TO NON -EMERGENCY VEHICULAR TRAFFIC ON CALLE SERENA APPROXIMATELY 120 LINEAR FEET SOUTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF VISTA GRANDE AND CALLE SERENA LOCATION: CALLE SERENA APPROXIMATELY 120 LINEAR FEET SOUTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF VISTA GRANDE AND CALLE SERENA ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION: THE LA QUINTA PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT HAS DETERMINED THE PROPOSED ACTION IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT PURSUANT TO SECTION 15301, CLASS 1(C), OF THE GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT. BACKGROUND The proposed closure would result in the southerly 39 feet of Calls Serena (in north La Quinta) being closed to non -emergency vehicular traffic. Attachment 1 is a vicinity map of the area. Attachment 2 shows the proposed closure. The closure of Calle Serena to non -emergency vehicles is proposed to remedy a local traffic issue. The emergency access gate at the La Quinta Springs apartment complex at the end of Calle Serena had been an emergency only access gate until the commencement of construction on Jefferson Street. During the construction, the access gate became open to all traffic. The City's understanding at the time the gate was to be open to non -emergency traffic, was that the opening was only to be on a temporary basis. Once the construction was completed the gate was to be returned to its original condition, emergency access only. This has not yet occurred. The prolonged gate access has caused an unsafe neighborhood traffic condition. The roadway is configured and had been utilized as a dead-end street. P REPORTS - PC'Q0M6 27 MCALLE SERENA�STAFF REPORT - ROAD CLOSURE CALLE SERENA (PUBLIC WORKS) DOC It is the opinion of the Public Works Department and the City's Traffic Engineer that the southerly portion of Calle Serena is not necessary for vehicular traffic, with the exception of emergency vehicles. The proposal is closure of the street to non -emergency vehicular traffic at the subject location, not vacation of public use rights dedicated by the subdivider on the subdivision map that created Calle Serena. Hence, the public use right will be retained if the proposed action is approved. The proposed closure is permissible under Vehicle Code §21 101(a) (1) and La Quinta City Council Resolution 2000-99 which establishes policies for closure of streets to vehicular traffic. The public hearing for this item has been published in the Desert Sun and notices sent as required by Resolution 2000-99 apprising all interested parties, residents and property owners within 500 feet of the proposed street closure location. The City of Indio was also notified of the public hearing. In order for the City to approve the proposed street closure, it is necessary that the Planning Commission and the City Council make a finding that the street is "no longer needed for vehicular traffic." Calle Serena is lightly used by vehicular traffic. Indeed, from the information gathered by the City, the southerly portion of Calle Serena has functioned as a dead-end street with no through traffic from the time it was developed until 2005 during the Jefferson Street widening project. Until 2005, the only vehicular traffic on the roadway was associated with persons who used the dead-end street for parking. The staff's view is that the area is not needed for resident parking. The light use is largely attributable to the dead-end configuration of the street and the convenient alternative routes in the immediate vicinity. The subject street is not a key route linking traffic generators to traffic attractors. Calle Serena is currently a dead-end street with emergency vehicle access to the La Quinta Springs apartment complex. The emergency access to the La Quinta Springs apartment complex is behind a full curb and sidewalk and its use by non -emergency vehicles is not appropriate. Use of that access requires drivers to drive over a full curb, which is unsafe and causes damage to both the vehicles and the curb and roadway. Closure of this portion of Calle Serena would reestablish the long standing traffic pattern in the area. Non -emergency vehicles entering and exiting the apartment complex will utilize the existing two access points to Jefferson Street, which is about 250 feet to the west. Jefferson Street is a Major Arterial. There are two residences that have driveways off of Calle Serena. These residents would still have access to the open portion of Calle Serena should the proposed closure be approved since the closure point is to the south of the driveways. However, those residents will be precluded from using the closed portion of the street for driving or parking. Emergency vehicles would still have access to the apartment complex via Calle Serena. Therefore, the proposed closure would have no effect on circulation. P .REPORTS PC\2006\6 27-O&CALLE SERENAtSTAFF REPORT ROAD CLOSURE CALLE SERENA (PUBLIC WORKS) DOC GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY The General Plan Traffic and Circulation goal is "A transportation and circulation network that efficiently and economically moves people, vehicles and goods using facilities that meet the current demands and projected needs of the City while maintaining and protecting its residential resort character." Calle Serena is currently a dead-end street with emergency vehicle access to the La Quinta Springs apartment complex. With the proposed closure, the southerly 39 feet of the roadway would no longer be available to non -emergency vehicles. Since the area is currently configured as a dead-end street, the proposed closure is not a significant modification of the existing circulation system. STATEMENT OF MANDATORY FINDINGS Given the parameters noted in this report, it is possible for the Planning Commission to make the following findings: 1 . The proposed street closure is consistent with the General Plan. 2. The proposed closure area is no longer needed for non -emergency vehicular traffic. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Planning Commission Resolution 2006- , finding that Calle Serena approximately 120 linear feet south of the intersection of Vista Grande and Calle Serena is no longer needed for vehicular traffic, and that the closure is consistent with the General Plan.

SDP 2006-861.doo BACKGROUND: This 8.08 acre property, with a total 28 residential lots, is located on the north side of Avenue 58, west of Madison Street (Attachment 1). Tentative Tract 32225 was approved for this property on October 19, 2004. PROJECT PROPOSAL: Architectural Plans The applicant has submitted prototypical plans for five residential model units (Attachment 2). Five different floor plans are proposed and vary in size from 2,351 to 3,470 square feet. Four of the five elevations are a Spanish/Mediterranean architectural style while the fifth style is Desert Contemporary. The elevations identify all buildings to be one story and vary in height from 14'-8" to 18'-10" with chimneys and entry towers as high 20'-8". Plan 1 is proposed to be built at the end of each of the cul-de-sacs. Plan 2 has an open courtyard on the side of the residence. Plans 4 and 5 have courtyards in the front, with Plan 4 proposing an optional casita. All plans propose swimming pools located in either the front or rear yards. Proposed exterior plaster and trim colors are light to dark earth tones with red/brown blends of concrete "S" roof tile. Elevation 4 has a contemporary pewter and grey tone color option with color compatible flat concrete the over the front entry element. Elevations will utilize stone veneer wainscoting, decorative rosettes, and lantern style lights. Garage doors are proposed to be sectional wood stained to match the units. Material and color samples and color schemes have been submitted and will be available at the meeting. Landscape Plans A revised Landscape Plan has been submitted after the Architecture and Landscape Review Committee completed its review and recommendations as described below. The tree type has been significantly changed to reflect growth and maintenance in the desert climate. The landscape plans and plant schedule has also been modified to reflect the changes. Access to the project will be from Madison Street with vehicles having right -in, right - out, and left —in movement. Median landscaping is proposed to be consistent with City median planting, watering and site distance guidelines. The revised tree and shrub plant schedule will be used for specific plant types and size call outs if the existing median and its existing landscaping are required to be disturbed as a result of the final street and median design. PAReports - PC\2006\6-27-06\SDP 2006-861 Santerra\PC rpt. SDP 2006-861.doc The proposed perimeter wall consists of two different materials which emphasize a more simplified contemporary design. At the main entry gate, a 6-foot high stucco finished block wall is proposed in sections with brown/red tone colors which transition in tone. At the corner of Avenue 58 and Madison Street and at the main entry corners, the sectional wall is staggered with four inch openings. Masonry slump block is proposed for the remainder (majority) of the perimeter on Avenue 52 and Madison Street. Material for the main vehicle and pedestrian entry gates are proposed to be stainless steel with view through mesh; and in line with the gate are square metal poles in the landscape setback. Proposed in the center median of the main entry gate is an "iconic" 14'-3" high entry stuccoed monument topped with a copper ribbed roof. The entry monument is proposed to have ornamental lighting and a water feature around a landscape planter. Two additional landscape planters are proposed within the median. The driveway will be constructed with tumbled and random paver stones to help define the entry. The larger planter area consists of natural slab stone and flowers. The slab stone is proposed to be used for a future monument sign; however, the proposed sign "Santerra" is not a part of this application process. Common area and perimeter landscaping and wall plans are also proposed. Perimeter landscaping along Madison Street and a landscaped retention basin along Avenue 52 consists of 24 inch box Palo Verde, 24 inch box Acacias along with a variety of desert shrubs and aggregate ground cover with no turf. At the project entry and at the corner of Avenue 52 and Madison Street, the applicant proposes 48 inch box Blue Palo Verde's, and 36 inch box Acacias. The applicant's revised plan proposes, within the retention basin, a decomposed granite walking trail and three exercise stations. Preliminary typical landscaping plans have been submitted for each of the five model plans. Typical front yard landscaping plans include a minimum of three 24 inch box trees including Desert Museum, Palo Verde, African Sumac, Desert Willow and Acacia, five gallon shrubs, and decomposed granite in the shrub beds with no turf. Plant materials identified are low water users and typically used in the desert. ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPING REVIEW COMMITTEE (ALRC): The ALRC reviewed this request at its meeting of July 7, 2006 (Attachment 3), and on a 3-0 vote recommended approval (revisions to the landscape plan) with the following Conditions of Approval: 1.

This project as currently approved includes a 133 room hotel and 164 casitas units, as well as 60 residential units, two restaurants, a neighborhood park, and a maximum 195,000+ square foot medical office/surgical facility. The hotel is nearing completion with the first phase of the casitas' begun. PROPOSED SIGN PROGRAM: The sign program provides signs for the various different uses on the site (Attachment 2). The proposal proposes primarily freestanding signs at each vehicular entry off Washington Street, Miles Avenue and Seeley Drive leading to the individual uses. Additionally, building wall signs are proposed for the Hilton Homewood Suites, and anticipated for the medical center and two restaurants. Two primary free-standing one sided signs to identify the various uses on the site are proposed to be located at the southeast corner of Washington Street and Miles Avenue and northeast corner of Washington Street and the new Seeley Drive. These signs will mimic a small arch with a length of 24' and height varying from 3.5' to 4.5' (96± square feet). A similar designed one sided sign is proposed to be placed at the Washington Street driveway entry between Miles Avenue and Seeley Drive. This sign will be 18' long with a height varying from 3.5' to 4.5' (72 ± square feet) and read Homewood Suites Hilton on three lines with their "duck" logo above "Homewood". Two short (18" high by 10' long) accent walls will flank the front of this sign. The medical center entry on the south side of Seeley Drive will have the same sign design and size as the hotel entry without the flanking walls. This sign will be two sided and be in a small center median. P:\stan\centre pointe\sa 2006-1005 sign prog pc rpt.doc The three street entries to the Desert Villas and residential component will have a small 4.6' high by 9' long (40± square feet) two sided free-standing sign showing pilasters end supports. A forth one sided sign will be located on -site just north of the hotel at the driveway leading into the villas. The last freestanding sign is proposed on the southwest corner of Miles Avenue and Seeley Drive. This sign will match the Desert Villas entry signs and have the project name (i.e. Centre Pointe). All freestanding signs will have a cream stucco finish to match the hotel and a darker earth tone cap and be externally illuminated by ground mounted lights. Sign letters and logos will be stud mounted and be a medium color brass material. The surface around the individual business names will have a 3" recess from the sign surface to provide some articulation. All signs are shown at 18" wide. The only building mounted sign specifically proposed at this time is for the west facing elevation of the hotel. The sign is proposed on the central tower facing Washington Street above the porte cochere. This sign will read "HOMEWOOD SUITES Hilton" on three lines with their duck logo above "Homewood". The sign will be internally illuminated and have teal green faces and returns and light up white at night. Letters will be 5" thick with transformers behind the building wall. Homewood and Suites letters will be 15" high with Homewood, the longest word 1 V-10" long. Total square footage of the sign is approximately 50 square feet. Other building mounted signs at present are proposed to comply with Zoning Code requirements. This would include the medical center complex and two restaurants along Washington Street. Architectural plans for these buildings have not yet been approved. DISCUSSION: The Zoning Code restricts freestanding signs to one per street frontage with each sign a maximum 50 square feet with a total of 100 square feet for all signs. Sign programs are permitted to deviate from Code requirements with Planning Commission approval. In this case the 50 acre project and frontage on three streets justifies additional signs as well as additional sign area. The sign program will be consistent with the intent of the Zoning Code and will be in harmony and visually related to the proposed architecture of the buildings, with the approval of the Planning Commission.

Subsequently, the Sign Program requires "Major Tenants" to obtain Planning Commission approval on the size, style, and color of their business identification signs. Rooms Express, who is occupying the old theater building, is considered a major tenant, with a total floor space of 36,000 square feet. Sign Request: The applicant has applied for a total four signs as part of this Sign Application, and all four require Planning Commission approval. "Rooms Express" is the main business identification sign, with "Legacy", "Furniture & Accents", and "Rooms 4 Kids & Teens" as three supplementary signs. The landlord has approved the requested signs as submitted. The main business identification sign for Rooms Express is proposed to be placed on the center tower wall on the southern building elevation facing Highway 111, centered above the five existing vigas (Attachment 2). The proposed sign consists of two stacked lines of individual internally -illuminated reverse pan channel letters, three inches deep, and pegged -off 1 Y:" from the fascia. At its highest and widest dimensions, the sign is proposed to be approximately 6'-7" in height and 15 feet wide, totaling 99.77 square feet. Each letter is approximately 2'-1 " in height, with the first letter on each line at 2'-3" in height, and the "X" in "Express" at approximately four feet in height. The sign faces are Red and Blue (Attachment 4), with a white outline around each letter for additional visibility. The three supplementary signs, "Legacy", "Furniture & Accents", and "Rooms 4 Kids & Teens", are proposed to be placed on the southern building elevation along the lower sepia -colored fascia, centered on the building. The proposed signs consist of Dark Bronze, internally illuminated reverse pan channel letters pegged -off 1 %" from the fascia (Attachment 3). The "Legacy" sign, to be placed on the westernmost wall, measures 18'/z" in height and 13'-2" wide, totaling approximately 20.25 square feet. The "Furniture & Accents" sign, placed on the center tower wall, measures 15" in height and 19'-4" wide, totaling approximately 24.48 square feet. The Rooms 4 Kids & Teens sign, placed on the easternmost wall, measures 24" in height and 17'-9" wide, totaling approximately 35.50 square feet. The square footage of the proposed secondary signage is approximately 80 square feet. The total square footage of the four signs is approximately 180 sq. ft. Analysis: Major retail tenants along Highway 111 have historically applied for large business identification signs. Approvals were made based on sign size, location, proportionality to the building, as well as compliance with any applicable sign program. The following chart shows a comparison of the proposed sign to previously approved signs for major retail tenants along Highway 111: Store Sign Size i —square feet) Store Frontage (^- feet) Building Size (—square feet) Best Buy 108 125 17,000 Henry's Market 100 154 27,000 Kohl's 193 428 127,000 Stater Brothers 180 245 42,600 Ross 115 160 31,190 Marshall's 157 136 40,000 Target 186 400 126,000 Circuit City 100 185 34,000 Bed Bath & Beyond 150 238 30,000 Avera e: 143 230 52,000 Rooms Express: 100 + 80 = —180 218 36,000 Staff concludes the proposed main business identification sign is appropriate for the subject location. However, the three supplementary signs are larger than necessary. The "Rooms Express" sign is proportional to the building, as well as in relation to other previously approved signs in the One -Eleven La Quinta Center. The sign is also comparable to most other signs for major retail tenants along Highway 111. The three supplementary signs, "Legacy", "Furniture & Accents", and "Rooms 4 Kids & Teens", combined, totals approximately 80 square feet, and results in 180 square feet of total sign area for the building. The sizes of the three signs, particularly their heights, are not proportional to the amount of wall space on sepia - colored fascias. The proposed sizes and locations of the three signs have a cluttering effect on the front building elevation. Staff concludes that 180 square feet of signage for this particular building and frontage is unsuitable because the size, layout, and locations of the signs are not proportional to the available wall area, and is also larger than most previously approved signage for major retail tenants along Highway 111 with similar store frontages. This can be alleviated by reducing the size of the supplementary signs, and changing their locations by centering them on the walls that they are attached to, rather than centering them on the building. Four signs totaling approximately 150 square feet would be appropriate for this location, as it is proportional to signs and frontages in the One -Eleven La Quinta Center, as well as with other major retail tenants along Highway 111. The applicant can use their discretion on how they would like to allocate area for each individual sign. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Minute Motion 2006-_, approving the requested signage, subject to the following Conditions of Approval- 1. The total square footage of the "Rooms Express" main business identification sign shall be no greater than 100 square feet. The applicant shall install the approved sign on the southern building elevation at the approved location. 2. The total square footage of the three supplementary signs ("Legacy", "Furniture & Accents", "Rooms 4 Kids & Teens"), shall be no greater than 50 square feet. 3. The three supplementary signs shall be centered on the walls that they are attached to, rather than centered on the building. The applicant shall install the approved signs on the southern building elevation at the approved locations. 4. A building permit shall be obtained prior to any work on the sign being started.
