PC/AGENDA PH *1 DATE: CASE NO: REQUEST: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ZONING: ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION: BACKGROUND: STAFF REPORT PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 26, 1994 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 94-011 TO ADD A SECOND UNIT (GRANNY FLAT) AND GARAGE TO EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE CARL AND SALLY WILSON 53-280 AVENIDA VILLA SR (SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL) THIS APPLICATION IS EXEMPT FROM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW UNDER SECTION 15303 OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT. On March 18, 1994, the applicants submitted an application for approval of a second unit (granny flat) with an attached garage. The purpose of this application is to provide mother-in-law quarters. The applicants have an existing 1,710 square foot single family dwelling with an attached two -car garage on an adjacent lot. PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION: The proposed living quarters including kitchen are 576 square feet and the attached garage is 624 square feet in size, for a total of 1,200 square feet. The building height is 13 feet. The architecture of the new structure is simple, with exterior materials and colors to match that of the exterior walls will be white stucco. The roof line will match that of the existing home. The existing house features decorative wingwalls in front and a decorative roll -up garage door. Staff has conditioned for the proposed new structure to also have the wingwalls in front and the same garage door in order to be consistent. The applicants want to construct the second unit/garage on the adjacent lot, immediately to the south of their existing home. The applicants do own both lots. However, these lots have not been merged. Staff has conditioned for a parcel merger to be approved and recorded prior to the issuance of grading and building permits. The applicants do want a separate driveway off of Avenida Villa to access the proposed new garage. The appropriate permits will be required from the Public Works/Engineering Department for the new driveway. All concerned departments and agencies were given an opportunity to review this request. No negative comments have been received. STAFFRPT.032 DISCUSSION: Section 9.42.085 of the Zoning Ordinance provides for second units on parcels with a minimum of 7,200 square feet or larger. The applicant will be required to merge his two parcels in order to meet this requirement. A detached second unit can not exceed 1,200 square feet. The applicants are proposing a second unit with 576 square feet of living space. Second units are intended for the sole occupancy of one or two persons who are 62 years of age or more, or a handicapped person of any age (and spouse or care giver) . The applicants lots are zoned Special Residential (SR) and contains an existing single family dwelling. The proposed second unit conforms to height, setback, lot coverage, architectural requirements, site plan requirements, and other zoning requirements. Staff does not see any reasons why this application should not be approved. RECOMMENDATION: Move to approve Planning Commission Resolution 94-_ granting Conditional Use Permit 94-011 to allow the construction of a second unit and attached garage, subject to the attached conditions of approval.

CONAPRVL.017 BI *1 STAFF REPORT PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: APRIL 26, 1994 CASE NO.: SIGN APPLICATION 94-246 (AMENDMENT #1) REQUEST: AMENDMENT TO APPROVED SIGNS FOR BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO WITHIN ONE LA QUINTA CENTER APPLICANT: BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO SIGN COMPANY: CHANDLER SIGNS LOCATION: ONE ELEVEN LA QUINTA CENTER ON THE NORTH SIDE OF HIGHWAY 111 BETWEEN WASHINGTON STREET AND ADAMS STREET (EAST OF CARL'S JR.). BACKGROUND: This application for Blockbuster Video was previously reviewed and approved at the meeting of March 22, 1994, as a deviation from the approved sign program. The signage approved was different than that originally requested. The Planning Commission approval allowed the following signage: 1. North side - 2. South side - 3. West side - AMENDMENT REQUEST: 24 inch high illuminated channel letters (46.4 sq. ft.) without logo or awning. 24 inch high illuminated channel letters (46.4 sq. ft.). 24 inch high illuminated channel letters and torn ticket logo (4' X 8') outline on the tower structure (78.4 sq. ft.) without awning. Rather than appeal the decision of the Planning Commission, the applicant has requested an amendment to the approved signage. The applicant is asking for amended signage as follows: 1. North side - 20 inch high illuminated channel letters and 3' X 6' torn ticket logo on the tower (50.7 sq. ft.). 2. South side - No change proposed (46.4 sq. ft.). 3. West side - 20 inch high illuminated channel letters with 3' X 6' torn ticket logo on the tower (50.7 sq. ft.). PCST.175 1 The proposed colors and materials are the same as previously proposed and approved. In the attached letter, the applicant states they believe the outlined logo approved for the west side would be a violation of copyrights of the logo. Also, they note that the developer (Stonington Properties) will not allow the other tenant use of the tower for signage. ANALYSIS: The proposed amended signage as compared to the approved signage, is as follows: Proposed Signage Approved Signage (Square Footage) (Square Footage) 1. North side 50.7± 46.4± 2. South side No change proposed 46.1 ± 3. West side 50.7± 78.4± (includes 4' X 8" torn ticket outline) Generally speaking, the square footage of signage on the north side is approximately the same with a difference of only 4+ square feet. With regards to the west elevation, the total square footage would be reduced by approximately 28 square feet. Generally speaking, staff prefers to see logos adjacent to signage or in very close proximity. With this proposal they are somewhat separated on the north and west elevation. However, the logo is proposed to be of a size which is much smaller than the original proposal (5' X 10') and will fit easily on the tower structures without overpowering them. RECOMMENDATION: Move to approve Sign Application 94-246 (Amendment #1) by Minute Motion 94- to the attached conditions. Attachments: 1. Location map 2. Plot plan 3. Revised sign exhibits PCST.175 2 , subject CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - RECOMMENDED SIGN APPLICATION 94-246 (AMENDMENT #1) BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO APRIL 26, 1994 1. A building permit be obtained for the signs prior to installation. 2. Prior to obtaining a building permit the plans shall be reviewed by the Planning and Development Department to insure compliance with approval. 3. Prior to issuance of a building permit for the installation of the sign, the master developer and property owner shall review said signs.

Box 1504 LaQuinta Ca. 92233 4/21/94 RE., Blockbuster Video sign application. 94-246 Dear Stan, Due to previously scheduled Blockbuster Franchise meeting in Ft. Lauderdale we will not be able to attend the Planning Commission meeting, 4/'d6/94, however we asked Rod Sanford and Gene Scarcello of Stonington Properties to speak on our behalf at the plalming Commission meeting coming Tuesday evening. We have been advised that tlse ticket out tine, previously approved by the Planning Commission, would violate copyright of our logo. In sn attempt to stay within the city guidelines, we have changed our position from 24" letters and 4'x8 ticket outline as suggested by the Commission to: South elevation 24" letters only West elevation 20" letter,; and 3x6 logo North elevation 20" totters and 30 Iogo By reducing the sire of our letters to 20" and reducing the logo to 3'x6', on the north and west faces, we will not be exceeding the allowable 30 square feet on any of the three sides of the building. Blockbuster Corporate studies show that C*r%of our business is itnpulse driven, It is essential to our success that we are readily identifiable at the La Quinia location, baxaruse unlike other locations in the desert we are off corner. Tbank you for your consideration of this matter. rgc Hanaucr Blockbdstcr Video :21 Mr. Stan Sawa Principal Planner P.O. Box 1504 LaQuinta, CA. 92253 April 7,1994 Subject: Blockbuster Video (Sign application 94-246) Dear Stan, As per our conversation we would like to make the following amendment to the Planning Commissions approval of our signage. We would be willing to reduce the size of our letters on the north and west sides of the building from 24" to 20" and place our national logo on both towers. We would also be willing to reduce the size of our logo from 41x 8' to approximately 31x 6'. We feel the outlined logo would be a violation of copyrights of the logo. This program would be a compromise that would work well for you as well as ourselves, as you do have some room for national chain recognition. Our business is an impulse driven product, and this compromise would certainly help our business as McDonald's, Carl's Jr. and Taco Bell. We would also point out that our logos on the towers would be the only ones as Stonington Properties would not allow the other tenants the use of the towers for signage. Serendipity Entertainment Corporatio-i . 4600 Madison . Kansas City, Missouri 64112 • (816) 756-0640 . Fax (816) 756-1753 The final outcome would be as follows: 1. South elevation 46.33 square ft. (letter only) 2. West elevation 53.74 square ft. (letters & logo) 3. North elevation 53.74 square ft. (letters & logo) We will also send by a separate cover, a color rendering & seven blue lines sheets. Thank you for your help and consideration.

These programs will provide current information, solutions, and skills to help you and your staff deal with the issues facing your city. They also provide the invaluable chance to meet and learn from officials in other cities who have dealt with similar issues. We encourage you to budget for these programs --and others --which will assist you and your staff to best serve your citizens in the years ahead. While funds may be limited, it is even more essential that you maintain your investment in your human resources --the primary resources which are able to help guide your city through these challenging times. When fewer people are asked to do more and different work, training and development is needed more than ever. And it can also serve as a very effective management strategy to help bring about desired changes in both attitude, outcome, and organization. If you have any questions regarding any of these programs --or suggestions for topics they should cover to be more useful to you --please contact the League's Training Department at 916/444-5790. LEAGUE TRAINING PROGRAMS, CONFERENCES AND INSTITUTES The following information should be sufficient to allow you to budget for League meetings and other professional development programs. The location of most League training programs, conferences and institutes including the Annual Conference rotates annually in California between the south and the north. When estimating budget expenditures for the fiscal year, consider the registration fees, per diem and travel expenses associated with in-service training programs, conferences and institutes for elected city officials and city employees. Meeting announcements are mailed approximately two months prior to each meeting and WesternCity Magazine prints a League meeting calendar each month. League policy allows for one -day registrations --intended to encourage mid -level staff attendance at sessions. 1994 April28-29 May 4-6 June 1-3 July 27-29 July 29-30 October 23-25 Nov 30-Dec 2 December 1-2 19941 LEAGUE MEETING CALENDAR ESTIMATED COSTS ADVANCE MEETING LOCATION REGIS.

As detailed in the attached letter, Section 33130 generally prohibits the acquisition of a financial interest in real property located within a redevelopment project area and requires the disclosure of any existing financial interest within a project area. The requirements of Section 33130 are separate and distinct from the disclosure and disqualification requirements of the Political Reform Act, California Government Code Sections 81000 et seq. , and they apply to any Agency or City officer or employee who helps formulate or approve plans or policies for redevelopment of a project area. The enclosed letter should be distributed to the members of the City Council, the members of the Redevelopment Agency and to the Planning Commissioners and the Disclosure Statement attached to the letter should be completed. In the event that a particular person has no interest which needs to be disclosed pursuant to Section 33130, the Disclosure Statement should so indicate. The Disclosure Statements should be entered into the minutes of both the Agency and the City Council, there is no particular time by which this should be completed, but it is advisable to do so as soon as possible.

This Section is separate from and imposes different requirements from those of the Political Reform Act of 1974. The requirements of Section 33130 apply to any Agency or City officer or employee who, in the course of his or her duties, is required to help formulate or to approve plans or policies for redevelopment of a project area. Thus it includes not only the Redevelopment Agency and City Council members, but also the City Manager, Planning Commissioners, and City and Agency staff. The Section has two specific provisions. First, it requires that any such officer or employee who owns or has any direct or indirect financial interest in any property included within a project area immediately make a written disclosure of that interest to the Agency and the City Council. Failure to make such disclosure constitutes misconduct in office. Preferably, this disclosure should be done when a survey area is designated and should be done in all cases immediately after the Planning Commission has selected a project area. Second, except for very limited exceptions set forth in Section 33130(b) and (c) involving certain rental or lease agreements or purchase of property equivalent to property formerly owned in the Project Area and in Section 33130.5 (a copy of the full test of these Sections is included for your reference), Section 33130 strictly prohibits any officer or employee from acquiring an interest in any property included within a project area. Section 33130(b) provides an exception for an of icer or employee who is acquiring an interest as an owner or is reentering a business
