Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee
August 1, 2007
2. Committee Member Fitzpatrick asked what had been approved
as far as the perimeter landscaping. Planning Director Les
Johnson stated the landscaping plans are coming before the
Committee in phases. What is before the Committee is the final
landscaping for the residential units. Discussion followed
regarding how the history of the landscaping plans developed.
Committee Member Fitzpatrick asked about planting in the
easement areas. Ms. Butler explained the CVWD easements do
not affect the front yards. Where there are sewer easements
they will be planting decomposed granite.
3. There being no further questions, it was moved and seconded
by Committee Members Fitzpatrick/Bobbitt to adopt Minute
Motion 2007-020 recommending approval of Final Landscaping
Plans 2007-012, as recommended by staff. Unanimously
approved.
B. Site Development Permit 2007-888; a request of East of Madison, LLC
for consideration of architectural and landscaping plans for the
Madison Club Villas, a 19-unit residential development of single-family
del -ached units, located at the southwest corner of Monroe Street and
Avenue 52.
1 . Committee Member Fitzpatrick stated he had a potential conflict
of interest due to the location of his residence and excused
himself from the meeting.
2. Associate Planner Jay Wuu presented the information contained
in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Planning
Department. Staff introduced John Gamlin, representing East of
Madison, who gave a presentation on the project.
3. Committee Member Bobbitt asked staff to identify the area in
question regarding the relationship between this project and the
two adjoining projects. Staff noted the location on the site
plans. Committee Member Bobbitt asked how this landscaping
relates to the issue of having view corridors. Planning Director
Les Johnson stated the view corridor issue related to the
perimeter landscaping along Avenue 52. This issue relates to
the perimeter between this project and the two adjacent
projects, Carmella and Rancho Santana. He noted the trees
being planted have several years of growth and are not the
typical size tree for most new construction projects. Staff is
concerned that this project has two-story units with some units

Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee

having a terrace, and staff wanted to bring this to the
Committee's attention. Committee Member Bobbitt asked if
either of the two adjoining projects had commented on the
project. Staff noted neighborhood meetings were planned but
as of this date had not been held. Committee Member Bobbitt
stated he has no problems at this point in time, but he would
like to hear the results of the meeting with neighboring projects.
Discussion followed regarding the difference in the pad
elevations.
4. Committee Member Bobbitt stated to him the bigger issue is the
view corridor that will be blocked by the trees. The City does
not want a wall, but he would be more sympathetic to what the
adjoining projects want.
5. Committee Member Bobbitt questioned the material proposed
for the ground lighting as it will tend to deteriorate over time
and become a high maintenance issue. He would suggest a
different type of fixture with a more substantial material.
Committee Member Bobbitt asked if the trellis and railings at the
back of the units would be wood and if so, he would ask that it
be treated to keep its shape. He asked the depth of the reveals.
Mr. Prevost stated they are set back nine inches.
6. Committee Member Arnold stated he had no objections. He
was impressed with the size of the plant material being
installed.
7. There being no further questions, it was moved and seconded
by Committee Members Bobbitt/Arnold to adopt Minute Motion
2007-021 recommending approval of Site Development Permit
2007-888, as recommended by staff. Unanimously approved.
Committee Member Fitzpatrick rejoined the Committee.
C. Village Use Permit 2007-035; a request of Dan Kline, Forward
Architecture and Design for consideration of architecture and
landscaping plans for the Plaza at Calle Tampico, located at the
northeast corner of Calle Tampico and Desert Club Drive.
Planning Director Les Johnson presented the information
contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the
Planning Department. Staff introduced Dan Kline, representing
el
Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee
August 1, 2007
Forward Architecture and Design, and who gave a presentation
on the project.
2. Committee Member Fitzpatrick stated the detail on the parapets
for the shop buildings were nice. The parapets on the loading
dock along Calle Tampico on the west side appear to be added
on. Mr. Kline stated that from the west elevation it brings some
relief to that elevation. The trellis on Shop "2" could be
blended in more to have a better use of the trellis. It is very
pleasing aesthetically, but it is a departure from any of the
existing buildings in that area.
3. Committee Member Bobbitt stated his first reaction is that he
does not like it. It states it is a Spanish/Revival and it appears
to be more contemporary. His impression is that it just doesn't
fit in, but with staff's recommendations, he believes it will be
much improved. In regard to the parking lot landscaping the
Acacia Smalli, appear to be too small as well as the tree wells
should be increased in size. Along the curb line he does not
want to see any plant material. He likes the metal trellis and
keeping it away from the building. The creeping fig or any self
clinging vines can be a maintenance problem.
4. Committee Member Arnold stated he had a concern with the
Flax plant in the upper pots. He would suggest an alternate.
The Acacia Smalli in the parking lot is a thorny large plant and
an alternate should be considered.
5. Committee Member Bobbitt stated he agreed and it has been a
continual problem as to what type of tree should be use in the
parking lots. He would recommend the Acacia Aneura.
6. Committee Member Bobbitt stated he agreed that the shed roof
look should be changed. Staff stated they would work with the
applicant to redesign this section.
7. There being no further questions, it was moved and seconded
by Committee Members Fitzpatrick/Bobbitt/Arnold to adopt
Minute Motion 2007-022 recommending approval of Village Use
Permit 2007-035, as recommended by staff.
a. Conditions added: desert vegetation shall be used
b. Small Acacia Smalli in the parking lot be replaced with an
alternate such as the Acacia Aneura

C. The Flax plant in the upper pots shall be replaced with an
alternate.
d. The trellis shall be made of a metal material.
e. The tree wells shall be a minimum of 6 feet by 6 feet
f. The shed roof shall be redesigned
Unanimously approved
D. Sire Development Permit 2007-890; a request of Nadel Retail
Architects, LLP for Shops at Coral Mountain for consideration of
architectural and landscaping plans for 105,071 square feet of
cornmercial retail located at the southwest and southeast corners of
Avenue 58 and Madison Street.
1. Assistant Planner Yvonne Franco presented the information
contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the
Planning Department. Staff introduced Stan Macaray, architect
for the project who gave a presentation on the project.
2. Committee Member Fitzpatrick commended the applicant on the
design.
3. Committee Member Bobbitt stated it is well designed and
thought out. In regard to staff's recommendations, he asked
the location of the drive-thru. Staff noted the location.
Committee Member Bobbitt asked whether berming and
landscaping was necessary for the drive-thru. Staff stated it
wasn't as much an issue as it wasn't located on Highway 111.
Mr. Robert Curley, landscape architect stated they would add
the landscaping to screen the drive-thru. Staff noted a drive-
thru would require a Specific Plan Amendment. Planning
Director Les Johnson explained that the project was brought
before the ALRC for review, but the drive-thru would require the
applicant to submit a Specific Plan Amendment as they are not
allowed in a Neighborhood Commercial District. Discussion
followed regarding the different uses proposed for the Center.
4. There being no further questions, it was moved and seconded
by Committee Members Fitzpatrick/Bobbitt to adopt Minute
Motion 2007-023 recommending approval of Site Development
Permit 2007-890, as recommended by staff. Unanimously
approved.

DATE: SEPTEMBER 5, 2007
APPLICANT: CITY OF LA QUINTA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
ARCHITECT: ALTEVERS ASSOCIATES
LANDSCAPE HORTON-SHEPARDSON ASSOCIATES
ARCHITECT:
REQUEST: CONSIDERATION OF CONCEPT DRAWINGS FOR THE
SILVERROCK CLUBHOUSE
LOCATION: SOUTHWEST CORNER OF JEFFERSON STREET AND AVENUE 54
BACKGROUND
The Redevelopment Agency (RDA) is in the process of preparing plans for the
permanent Clubhouse at the SilverRock Resort (SRR). The Clubhouse site and
roadway locations have been set by the RDA and at this time the RDA is requesting
comments on the site plan. The RDA has retained Altevers Associates as the project
architect and HSA as the project landscape architect. Both firms have had extensive
experience in designing golf course clubhouses including the Tuscana Country Club in
Indian Wells. In addition, Altevers Associates has designed the clubhouse at PGA
West, the Reserve, Stone Eagle, Thunderbird Country Club, Indian Ridge, and Mission
Hills.
The City Council approved the SRR Specific Plan on July 8, 2006. This Specific Plan
established the site location for the Clubhouse. This site area is approximately ten
acres in size and is located adjacent to the first hole tee boxes.
The RDA is in the early process of site design, programming and budgeting for the
Clubhouse. This is the first draft of the Clubhouse design concept that will be
presented to the Planning Commission and eventually RDA Board for review and
approval.
In the future the ALRC will review a complete site development permit set of plans
which will include a site plan, landscaping plan, building elevations with colors and
materials. As of this date, project architecture has not been developed and
architectural plans have not been prepared.
The conceptual site plan has been developed with input from Golf Dimensions (RDA
Project Managers), Landmark Golf Company (Golf Course Operator), Lowe (Hotel
Developer), RBF Consulting (Project Engineer), Horton-Shepardson Associates
(Landscape Architect), and City staff.
SRR
Project Design Considerations:
The site plan has been designed to be centrally located between the Arnold Palmer
Classic Course and the second golf course. The site location and building orientation
are intended to maximize views of the hillside and the existing Golf Course. The
second golf course is intended to be a resort course and is yet to be designed.
The following design objectives were established for the Clubhouse:
• Maximize hillside views
• Create indoor and outdoor event spaces
• Accommodate 200 people for events
• Provide sufficient parking for golf and event functions
• Create inviting entry that features convenience for golfers and allows separate
access for events.
• Facilitate golf cart staging areas with sufficient area to accommodate two
shotgun starts
e Orientate the building and site improvements to protect the Clubhouse from the
No. 1 tee
• Design an outdoor event lawn which creates a unique outdoor activity space
with sufficient screening (eight foot wall) from SilverRock Way
The ALRC discussion should be focused on the proposed site plan and related
improvements. Exhibits provided include a site plan, main level floor plan, and lower
level floor plan. The main level floor area is 20,790 square feet and the lower level is
17,015 square lfeet. The total building area is 37,805 square feet.
As noted above, the ALRC should provide comments regarding the site plan and
related site improvements.
RECOMMENDATION
Review the concept site plan for the SilverRock Resort clubhouse and provide
comments to the Planning Commission and Redevelopment Agency.

CASE NO: SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 2006-863
APPLICANT: INNOVATIVE COMMUNITIES
LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECT: LANDSCAPE DEVELOPMENT
REQUEST: CONSIDERATION OF COMMON AREA, MODELS AND FRONT
YARD LANDSCAPING PLANS FOR TRACT 34243 (PASO TIEMPO)
LOCATION: NORTH SIDE OF AVENUE 58 APPROXIMATELY 1,000 FEET WEST
OF MADISON STREET
BACKGROUND:
The project site is located on the north side of Avenue 58 immediately east of the
Santa Rosa Trails project (Attachment 1). The site is a rectangular site 1,526' + deep
and 661.3' wide. A subdivision for this 20 acre site into a gated 70 single-family
residential lot project with private streets was approved by the City Council on May 16,
2006 as Tentative Tract 34243. Several miscellaneous lots have been created for
storm water retention, common area landscaping and private streets.
The preliminary architectural plans for single family units and landscaping plans were
approved July 25, 2006 for this project as part of the SDP. One of the Conditions of
Approval is that the final landscaping plans be reviewed by the ALRC prior to approval
by the Planning Director. The final Avenue 58 perimeter landscaping plans were
reviewed and approved by the ALRC with conditions on July 1 1 , 2007.
Rough grading of the tract has been completed and the models are currently under
construction.
PROJECT PROPOSAL:
The applicant has submitted landscape working drawings for the common areas, which
includes the retention basin down the center of the site, the model home complex,
common planter areas adjacent to the street and the front yards of the individual
production homes. The front yards are to be maintained by the homeowners association
as common area. The plans show irrigation and planting for these areas.
P:\Reports - ALRC\2007\9-5-07\sdp 2006-863 innovative alrc rpt3.doc
Each production home will be planted with a minimum of two 15 gallon to 24" box size
trees, shrubs, groundcover and turf.
The plans include three model homes on Lots 40-42. The planting for the models
includes the front patio courtyards, side and rear yards as well as the front yards. Front
yards include three to four large trees, with additional trees in the courtyards, side yards,
and rear yards. All planter areas are shown with shrubs, groundcover and turf. A gravel
strip is provided adjacent to the curb in front of each residence. Areas between plants
are to be filled with decorative decomposed granite. A fourth lot is shown as a
landscaped model home parking lot with a temporary trailer for home sales.
On site landscaped common lot areas include the retention basin that runs north to
south through the middle of the tract and several small landscape strips adjacent to the
basin. A concrete walk with six scattered benches runs through the length of the basin.
An east -west walkway from Santo Thomas and Salida Del Sol will be connected to the
main north -south walk. The flat bottom of the basin will be planted in turf with several
trees near five of the six benches. The sloped sides and ends will be planted with
shrubs and trees and covered with California gold rock mulch. The plant materials are
generally low or moderate water use plants and trees except for the turf. Retention
basin trees are mostly 24" box with some 36" box size.
ISSUES -
In general, the landscaping plans are acceptable. However, there are several items
which need addressing. For the front yard plans the turf areas appear to be larger than
shown in the preliminary plans. Reduction in the amount of turf areas will decrease the
use of water which the Commission and Staff have strived for. The original SDP
approval for this project required that a no -turf option be provided for purchasers who
desired them. Although the homeowners association will maintain the front yards, no -
turf yards are required to be provided. Staff recommends that at least 10% of the lots
have front yards with no turf.
Plans 1 and 3 do not provide adequate shrubs in the front yards. In front of the
residence (in the: middle of the unit) of all Plan 1's, only one gallon size low growing
groundcovers are provided. Some vertical growing shrubs need to be provided to soften
and complement the buildings architecture. On many Plan 1 and 3 units in the planter
between the garage and side property line, again there is only ground cover and one
vine. For those lots with larger planters in this area, (6'+) some shrubs should be
provided to complement the groundcover.
Most of the plant materials proposed are ones listed in CVWD's plant list. However,
there are a few plants not commonly used in La Quinta.
The plans are not yet approved by the CVWD for water efficiency. Prior to final
approval by the Planning Department, the plans will need to be approved by CVWD and
the Riverside County Agricultural Commissioner.
P:\Reports - ALRC\2007\9-5-07\sdp 2006-863 innovative alrc rpt3.doc
As noted, trees shading two benches in the basin are provided. Staff recommends trees
be provided adjacent to, and on the south side of all benches.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend to the Planning Director approval of the common area planting plans,
subject to the following Conditions:
1. The final landscaping and irrigation plans shall be approved by the Riverside
County Agricultural Commissioner and CVWD prior to the Planning Directors final
plan approval.
2. Planting around all street intersection shall be revised, removing larger growing
shrubs, if necessary, to ensure vehicular visibility as required by and approved by
the Public Works Department.
3. Reduce front yard turf area to no more than 50% of the front landscape area.
4. Provide 3-5 medium size 5 gallon shrubs in front of each Plan 1 unit.
5. Provide 3-5 medium 5 gallon shrubs in the planter (minimum 6'x6') between the
garage and side property line of Plan 1 and 3 units.
6. For a minimum of ten percent of the lots, the front yards shall be designed with
no turf.
7. Provide 24" box size trees on the south side and adjacent to all benches in the
retention Ioasin.

REQUEST: CONSIDERATION OF ARCHITECTURAL AND LANDSCAPING
PLANS FOR AN APPROXIMATELY 5,700 SQUARE FOOT
STABLE/BARN STRUCTURE LOCATED AT TALLY RANCH, A
4.19-ACRE PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL EQUESTRIAN PROPERTY
LOCATION: 55-075 MONROE STREET; APN 767-580-013
BACKGROUND
Tally Ranch is an approximately 4.19-acre private property located on the west side of
Monroe Street, halfway between Avenue 54 and Airport Boulevard (Attachment 1).
Access to the site is gained through a 40-foot-wide access easement off of Monroe
Street, with the driveway spanning approximately 1,300 feet (Attachment 2, Sheet
ST). The project area currently consists of a manufactured home, pastures, and a
decomposed granite bridle trail along the perimeter of the project site. A Minor Use
Permit (MUP 2006-763) for the manufactured home was approved by the Planning
Commission on March 28, 2006.
The property is zoned Low Density Residential, and falls within the Equestrian Overlay
District. La Quinta Municipal Code Section 9.140.060 Equestrian Overlay Regulations
state that within EOD-zoned properties, the construction of any accessory building
over 400 square feet requires approval of a Site Development Permit by the Planning
Commission.
PROJECT REQUEST
Project Overview:
The applicant is requesting consideration of architectural and landscaping plans for an
approximately 5,700 square foot stable/barn structure located on the southern end of
the 4.19-acre Tally Ranch property (Attachment 2, Sheet ST). Access to the stable is
gained through a decorative -paved driveway along the eastern end of the project site.
Located on the; north side of the project site is the Griffin Ranch residential
development. Located on the east side of the project site is a vacant, entitled
residential tract. The Norman Course residential development is located on the south
and west sides of the project site, with a street and existing single-family homes
located on the south and golf course on the west (Attachment 3).
Stable/Barn Structure:
The architectural elements of the stable/barn structure include the use of mission red
and brown 2-piece clay tile roofing, smooth hand -troweled Santa Barbara stucco walls,
manufactured stone treatments, wood -framed windows and doors, and wood sliding
barn doors (Attachment 4). Wooden posts with stone column bases, exposed wood
beams and rafters, and wood trellises provide architectural articulation to the proposed
structure (Attachment 2, Sheet A.5 — A.6).
The interior of the approximately 5,700 square foot stable/barn structure features six
horse stalls, storage space, a foaling room, tack room, and saddle room (Attachment
2, Sheet A. 2). Two trellis structures approximately 10 feet in height are located along
the northern and southern structure walls. The southern trellis, at approximately 28
feet from the southern property line and 23 feet from the eastern property line, runs
beyond the length of the stable/barn to the eastern property line, with the additional
trellis to be used as covered parking. The stable/barn structure, at the highest
ridgeline, is approximately 25 feet in height (Attachment 2, Sheet A.3).
Landscaping:
The landscape plan for Tally Ranch identifies a plant palette consisting of Date Palms
and small shrubs (Attachment 5). Landscaping throughout the project site is minimal,
but is designed to complement the architecture, configuration, and uses of the
structure and property. A row of existing Date Palms will run along the decoratively -
paved driveway to the structure, and lantanas, pasture grass, and dirt are strategically
placed around the property to accommodate the equestrian uses.
ANALYSIS
Staff finds that the overall architectural style and design of the proposed stable/barn
structure for Tally Ranch to be acceptable. Staff has no significant issues with the
proposed stable/barn structure, parking area, driveway, and landscape palette, as they
are appropriate and well -designed. The architecture and layout of the structure is
compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood, and is also consistent with
the development guidelines stated in the La Quinta Municipal Code:
