APPLICANT: INNOVATIVE COMMUNITIES, INC.
ARCHITECT: COLBOURN/CURRIER/NOLL ARCHITECTURE, INC.
REQUEST: CONSIDERATION OF ARCHITECTURAL AND LANDSCAPING
PLANS FOR A REVISION TO THE EXISTING APPROVAL FOR A
CLUBHOUSE FACILITY, ASSOCIATED WITH WATERMARK
VILLAS (SP 2003-069)
LOCATION: NORTHWEST CORNER OF AVENUE 52 AND JEFFERSON STREET
(SEE ATTACHMENT 1; VICINITY MAP)
Please review the attached information for the May 3, 2006 ALRC meeting.
PROJECT PROPOSAL:
This proposal is for an architectural re -design of the clubhouse facility for the
Watermark Villas project, for which a Specific Plan and other applications were
approved by the City Council on January 6, 2004. The original clubhouse was
reviewed and approved by the ALRC on June 2, 2004 (Attachment 2) under SDP
2004-809, which also included approvals for the 8-plex residential buildings, a 4,100
square foot association/lease office building, and an entry guard shelter. There are no
changes proposed to these aspects of the approval.
The existing approval is for a recreation building located on the project's southeast
corner, at Jefferson Street and Avenue 52. It is a three -level structure with an
underground cart barn (9,800 s.f.), a 10,000 gross s.f. resident gym on the second
level (first floor), and a 6,000 gross s.f. restaurant, with an additional ±4,000 s.f.
outdoor patio dining area.
The request is to revise the previously approved building to eliminate the cart barn and
first floor levels, making the building a single -level structure. The building footprint and
internal facilities are not significantly changed from the existing approval; the changes
primarily affect the size of interior spaces, and exterior architectural appearance related
to the building level changes.
ALRCsdp809A1
The general architectural theme has been retained, but revised to more closely
resemble the residential components of the project and reflects a Mediterranean Villa
influence. The materials and color scheme will essentially remain as approved; some
revisions are necessary due to product availability. The materials/colors for the entire
project consist of S-type terra cotta roof tile, stucco exterior wall and trim covering in
earth tones, and door and window frames in a medium green color as an accent (refer
to previously approved sample sheet). The applicant will present a revised sample
board at the meeting.
The overall project landscaping is currently in plan check review. The proposed
landscape layout and palette is consistent with those plans and the governing approval
requirements and documents related to project landscaping. The overall landscape
concept is based on retention of the existing date palms and integration into the site
design, which has been incorporated on the clubhouse site.
AI:hY,6Y0]ya]61d91*1Is] 11n:11114QILI1W.14lei: 16
The applicable zoning limits building height to one-story/22 feet at this location, but
the clubhouse was identified in the Specific Plan to allow for a two-story structure.
The revised proposal is for a one-story structure at 22.5 feet in height, from inferred
finish grade to the roof tile peak at center entry, with the remaining roof ridges at 16.4
feet (Attachment 3). The existing tri-level structure was approved with 22 feet to the
highest ridge line, but no other ridge line is below 20 feet (Attachment 4).
The revised building should be lowered six inches to comply with the existing vertical
height limitation. Overall, this structure will be lower than the existing approval by
about 3.5 feet at most ridge lines. However, the taller chimney extension may only be
at three feet above the height limit of the zoning district. As the structure is governed
under the 22-foot height limitation imposed by the Zoning Code, this chimney cannot
exceed 25 feet from finish grade; it is currently shown as 26.5 feet, and will need to
be lowered as the Specific Plan does not address architectural projections.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adoption of a minute motion, recommending approval of the plans for Site
Development Permit 2004-809, Amendment #1, with the following revision:
1 . Building height shall not exceed 22 feet from finish grade to the highest point of
the building.
2. The chimney extension for the Grand Room fireplace shall not exceed 25 feet in
height from finish grade of the building pad

MODIFICATION OF ARCHITECTURAL PLANS FOR RETAIL SHOPS
SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 111, WEST OF ADAMS STREET, WITHIN
WASHINGTON PARK
Attached are the plans and materials board for this proposal for your review, comment,
and discussion at the meeting (Attachment 1).
PROJECT PROPOSAL:
The applicant is proposing to modify the approved building elevations for a portion of
one building approved under Site Development Permit 2003-775. In 2003, staff
administratively approved a site plan modification requested by the applicant which
allowed the proposed building to be spaced apart from the Steinmart building providing
relief to the linear building mass originally approved. The proposed building is adjacent
and attached to the existing, Office Depot. The architectural elevations proposed to be
modified include the entry, the side, and rear of the building. The proposed
modification to the entry elevation is to reverse the architectural pop -outs and the rear
elevation provides a screen wall for the trash compactor. In addition, the side
elevation proposes four store fronts entrances and a delivery bay entrance.
ITEMS OF DISCUSSION:
Staff believes the proposed revisions are acceptable as submitted.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend that the Director of Community Development approve final architectural
plans consistent with the conceptual modifications to Site Development Permit 2003-
775 .

REQUEST: CONSIDERATION OF ARCHITECTURAL AND CONCEPTUAL
LANDSCAPING PLANS FOR TWO RETAIL SHOPS AND TENANT
STORAGE WITHIN THE ONE ELEVEN LA QUINTA CENTER
LOCATION: BOUNDED BY HIGHWAY 111, WASHINGTON STREET AND
ADAMS STREET
Attached are the plans and materials board for this proposal for your review, comment,
and discussion at the meeting (Attachment 1 & 2).
PROJECT PROPOSAL:
This will be one of the latter phases of the One Eleven La Quinta commercial
development, originally approved in December of 1989, and later amended in July of
1996. The proposed architectural design is similar in style to other buildings in the
One Eleven La Quinta Center, and is consistent with the One Eleven La Quinta Specific
Plan. The buildings are proposed to have stuccoed facades at the front and rear in the
same colors and style as previous phases. Pedestrian access along the front will be
covered by a flat roof hidden with a parapet and supported by stuccoed columns.
Lighting will utilize the same fixtures as placed on other existing buildings in the
development. Areas above the front shop entrances will be covered with a tiled roof.
The rear of the structure will also be stuccoed with a double parapet feature.
Landscaping is already in place for the development, though the plans indicate a small
landscaped area located in the front of the pillars, a location used to plant Bougainvillea
or other small bushes at similar locations within the existing phases of the shopping
center. The rear of the two proposed shops will be used as storage lockers for tenants
in the center.
PAReports - ALRC\2006\5-3-06\ALRC SDP 2006-859.doc
ITEMS OF DISCUSSION:
Additional details as to the intended design and use of the space located between this
proposed phase and the existing Legacy Furniture building (former movie theater) have
been requested. Rear tenant storage lockers should be accessed from the interior
corridor when possible. The front elevations identify a rounded stucco feature above
the proposed entry columns which was not identified on the previous phases.
During the ALFIC's review of the adjacent Petco store under SDP 05-854 on
September 7, 2005, the Committee recommended Bougainvilleas be planted in front of
the columns as a vertical element and that additional landscaping be placed at the front
of the store. This proposal utilizes the same color palate and design features as Petco.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend to the Planning Commission approval of architectural and landscape plans
for Site Development Permit 2006-859 with the following conditions:
1 Landscaping shall be installed along the storefront. Bougainvilleas shall be
attached to the front columns as a vertical element. Plantings shall be placed
between the front columns.
2. All roof top mechanical equipment shall be fully screened per Section
9.100.050 of the Zoning Ordinance.
3. Tenant lockers shall be revised to be accessed from the interior corridor where
possible and the rear entries shall be utilized for access to the interior Corridor.
4. Landscaping and lighting in accord with the Outdoor Lighting Ordinance shall be
provided along the sidewalk between this proposed phase and the existing
Legacy Furniture store.

REQUEST: REVIEW OF AVENUE 52 PERIMETER WALL PLANS ADJACENT
TO RECEPTION CENTER/GUARD HOUSE
LOCATION: AVENUE 52 AND MERIWETHER WAY AREA WITHIN THE
MADISON CLUB
Please review the attached information for the May 3, 2006 ALRC meeting.
BACKGROUND:
The Madison Club site is located on the east side of Madison Street, between Avenue
52 and Avenue 54. The Madison Club design was approved by the City Council in
2004 as an amendment to Specific Plan 99-035 and Tentative Tract Map 33076, with
construction of the golf course and infrastructure improvements started.
The Avenue 52 and Meriwether Way intersection is their main entrance from Avenue
52. At this intersection is the reception center and gatehouse complex. As part of the
center a small parking lot is provided south of the building.
PROJECT PROPOSAL:
The Specific Plan approval requires that the perimeter walls be reviewed and approved
by the ALRC and Planning Commission. The applicant has submitted the perimeter
wall plans for the area around their Avenue 52 entry (Attachment 1). Plans include a
site plan of the entry area, showing the proposed wall, along with elevation views and
wall details. The wall immediately around the entry includes an "enhanced" treatment
including a pre -cast wall cap and narrow decorative cast stone ornate frieze panel 30'
on center, The balance of the wall is a standard 6' high heavy sand rough stucco
finish wall. The wall will be white with the panels to be off-white.
P:\STAN\THE HIDEAWAYMADISONCLUB (CC OF DESERTASP 99-035 ALRC RPT PERI WALLS.DOC
ITEMS OF DISCUSSION:
The enhanced wall appears to be attractive with sufficient architectural treatment.
The "standard" wall is a plastered wall with a heavy finish. This portion of the wall
needs some treatment, such as a cap and panels possibly 100' on center.
The balance of the perimeter wall location west of this entry area will be reviewed
separately. The wall location as well as the berm it will be located on is still under
review by Staff.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend to the Planning Commission approval of the wall plans, subject to the
following condition:
1 The following treatment shall be added to the "standard" wall:
A. A cap treatment on top of the wall (it can be different from the
"enhanced" cap).
B. Frieze panels shall be provided every 100'- 150' on center facing Avenue
52.
2. The east terminus of the perimeter wall along Avenue 52 shall tie into the
Rancho Santana perimeter wall to the satisfaction of the Community
Development Department.
