BJ/MIN5/16.DRB - 2 - 00-I I W � WMAMA.41 MM MEMORANDUM TO: DESIGN REVIEW BOARD FROM: PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT DATE: JUNE 6, 1990 SUBJECT: PLOT PLAN 90-445, CONVERSION OF A DUPLEX UNIT INTO A REAL ESTATE OFFICE WITH APARTMENT. APPLICANT: EDWARD NIGG LOCATION: 51-066 AVENIDA MENDOZA (VILLAGE SPECIFIC PLAN AREA) ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: THIS PROJECT IS EXEMPT FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT BACKGROUND: This proposed conversion lies within the Tampico Subzone of _the Village Specific Plan area. The conversion conforms with the requirements and intent of the Village Specific Plan. STAFF COMMENTS: 1. The attached photographs show the existing architecture and landscaping of the project. It should be noted that this building is of a far higher standard than the existing surrounding buildings and is satisfactorily maintained. 2. New landscape materials have been incorporated into the plot plan including Queen Palms. The Village Zoning Ordinance for the Tampico Subzone requires at a minimum, Palm trees placed a minimum of 20-25 feet along the side of the sidewalk. 3. The Parking Ordinance stipulates that no landscaping higher than 30-inches shall be placed within 10-feet of the entry driveway to the parking area. The Heavenly Bamboo located in this area should be replaced by a lower shrub. 4. The solid waste container is enclosed as required by the Village Ordinance. BJ/MEMOGL.036 - 1 - 5. A handicap ramp has been provided as required. 6. The attached wooden sand blasted sign proposed complies with the Sign ordinance. The sign will not be illuminated. 7. The number of parking spaces provided is satisfactory. The parking layout however, should be shifted three feet towards the existing building allowing the minimum three feet between the front property line and the parking area as required by the Parking Ordinance. The distance between the handicap parking stall and the planter alongside the building will then be reduced. The five foot access ramp area of the handicap parking space located alongside this two foot access strip can be combined together to make a satisfactory access area. No curb shall therefore be placed between the handicap space and the two foot entry strip alongside the building. RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval of Plot Plan 90-445 providing that Staff comments #3 and #7 be complied with. Attachments: 1. Locality plan 2. Large scale map 3.

PROJECT: DESIGN REVIEW OF ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPE CONCEPT PLANS FOR A CLUBHOUSE, BOATHOUSE AND BATHHOUSE ON THE RECREATION LOT (LOT MM) IN TRACT 24230. LOCATION: EAST SIDE OF CALEO BAY DRIVE, JUST NORTH OF MAIN ENTRY (VIA MARQUESSA) FROM WASHINGTON STREET (SEE ATTACHMENT #1). BACKGROUND: Tract 24230 was approved by the City Council and is a recorded map. Design Review Board and Planning Commission have previously approved four lakefront and four off -lake unit types for this project. The two model complexes for these units have been approved by Staff. ANALYSIS: A. Building Architecture 1. The following buildings are proposed. a.) Clubhouse - approximately 1200 square feet, 26 feet high. b.) Boathouse - approximately 1300 square feet, 16 feet high. c.) Bathhouse - approximately 400 square feet, 15 feet high. BJ/MEMOWN.021 - 1 - 2. Architecture of all three major structures is similar to that approved for the four off -water residential units previously approved. Some type of design highlighting should be provided at the right (northwesterly) elevation of the boathouse and the bathhouse elevations. The footprint of the clubhouse allows its elevations to appear less rigid than the other buildings. Generally, the architecture is compatible with past approvals. 3. A number of minor structures and lattice work are shown (porte cochere, trellis structures, and promenade area). A promenade trellis elevation is shown on the recreation lot concept layout. 4. Colors to be used for these buildings will be consistent with those approved for the off -water units previously reviewed. B. Landscape/Site Layout 1. Signage location and type of construction will be reviewed separately at time of application. 2. Detailed site analysis will be done as part of required plot plan approval to be based upon conceptual approval recommended by the Design Review Board. Design Review Board revisions will be incorporated into the plot plan application for review (public hearing required) before the Planning Commission. 3. The plant palette indicates species commonly used on most projects we have seen. These species are primarily low and mid -range water use plants, with the exception of the palm species. As this is a lake -oriented project, we can expect a continuing theme of water -oriented landscape design elements, extensive lawn areas, etc. Generally, the landscaping shown is appropriate in the context of the project and in consideration of species watering needs. Detailed plans, to be submitted upon approval of this concept, will be required to be reviewed by Coachella Valley Water District and the Agricultural Commissioner's office (standard City requirement). 4. An entry gate concept has been provided, which corresponds to the landscape concept plan. Detailed review of this entry will be done at the plot plan level; the concept only is provided for your review as with the architecture and landscaping. BJ/MEMOWN.021 - 2 - C)i.n RECOMMENDATION: By minute motion, recommend to the Planning Commission approval of the architectural and landscape concepts for the Lake La Quinta recreation complex, subject to the following modifications: 1. Provide more architectural detailing on the bath and boathouse elevations, as appropriate. Attachments: 1.

APPLICANT: ORANCO DEVELOPMENT, INC. LOCATION: SOUTHEAST CORNER OF DESERT CLUB DRIVE AND AVENIDA LA FONDA BACKGROUND• The Applicant has asked for a pre -submission review of their proposed architectural elevations. The proposed building would be rectangular in shape with most of the frontage facing Desert Club Drive. The building would contain approximately 3,775 square feet of floor area. The site is located within the Village Specific Plan area in the C-V-C Zone and as such is subject to the Specific Plan. The minimum design theme for the Village is based upon the concept of a Desert Oasis. The oasis concept stresses the importance of designing for the desert climate by emphasizing the creation of shade and the use of appropriate materials. Other elements of the design theme are designing for a pedestrian scale; compatibility with La Quinta's historic architectural vernacular (as exemplified in the La Quinta Hotel, Tennis Club and Hacienda del Gato) ; and an arts theme. The arts theme will permeate the Village. Developers are encouraged to provide for galleries, artists workshops and studios, and also for temporary art exhibition. The permanent display of art work on buildings and in public spaces will also be promoted. PROPOSAL• The Applicant has submitted conceptual views of the front sides of the building facing Avenida La Fonda and Desert Club Drive. As can be seen from the plans the structure is flat -roofed with a raised covered (trellised) walkway along the street. In front of the entry to each of the three rental spaces is a curved canvas awning attached to the covered walkway. Between BJ/MEMOSS.032 - 1 - Jl/ (I'�V the columns supporting the walkway is a short or wrought iron fencing for safety. ANALYSIS: 1. Staff feels that while the building has some architectural interest, it may not be in conformance with the "Desert Oasis" them of the Village Specific Plan. 2. The rear and interior sides of the building needs to be architecturally treated to match the more visible sides of the building. 3. The raised fenced off walkway deters pedestrian movement. Staff will attempt to work with the Applicant and flood zone requirements to lower the walkway area and eliminate the fencing between the walkway columns. 4. Staff will comment on the technical aspects of the plan separately. 5. A site plan will be available at the meeting. RECOMMENDATION: Review the plans and give Applicants comments on the architectural elevations submitted. Attachments: 1. Location map 2.

At the meeting held on April 24, 1990, the Planning Commission elected to continue the above_ matter and refer this issue to the Design Review Board. The Planning Commission requested the following changes to the subject plans: 1. Submit plans for one additional single story unit. 2. Submit at least on additional front elevation alternative for Units C and/or D. 3. Submit at least one additional color scheme. 4. Alter the drawings to ensure window and other detailing is consistent on all elevations and include labeling of architectural features, heights, and overall dimensions of buildings. Also include square footage of all units excluding garage. BJ/MEMOGL.035 5. Resolve the following two problem areas as regards proportion and sizing: a. Unit A: Front elevation, second story windows. b. Unit C: Front elevations, second story windows and vents (reduce size of windows and vents and/or change proportions of these elements in relation to the building element they are on). Revised Submittal (Attachment #3): The Applicant has submitted alternate front elevations for plans. The following table shows details of all units including the number of different elevations submitted. Family Dwelling # Different # # Bedrooms Room Garage Sq. Ft.

In addition, a revised unit siting plan for Tentative Tract 24950 was also received. STAFF COMMENTS: 1. The Applicant has not submitted an additional single story unit as requested. However, two additional front elevations for the one story unit have been submitted. Staff therefore feels that sufficient variation in front elevations has been provided and an additional single story unit is not required. 2. Sufficient additional front elevation alternatives have been provided for Units A, C, & D. 3. A new color scheme has been provided in addition to the original two color schemes. 4. The two problem areas previously identified (Unit A and C front elevations) have been resolved. 5. Staff feels that the elevation 2, Unit A should have some architectural feature centrally located between the second story windows to provide a focal point.

LOCATION: NORTHEAST INTERSECTION OF MILES AVENUE AND DUNE PALMS ROAD. A. BACKGROUND: on September 26, 1989, the Planning Commission reviewed t-e initial architectural elevaticns submitted by the Applicant. At that meeting the Planning Commission took action to continue the above application until the plans are revised a --id resubmitted with the following amendments: 1. The Applicant shall s-Ibmit plans for an additional one story unit not exceeding 20-feet in height. 2. The Applicant shall submit front, rear and both side elevations for all units. 3. The Applicant shall show the attic vents and more detailing on the elevations. 4. The for Applicant proposedshall unitts, includingalternative color tile roof samples or cut sheets. 5.

NEW SUBMITTAL The Applicant has submitted an additional one story unit not exceeding 20-feet in height. In addition, front, rear and both side elevations have now been submitted for all units (Attachment W . The following table shows all units submitted. Family Dwelling # Different # # Bedrooms Room Garage Sq. Ft.

In addition, a unit siting plan for Tentative Tract 24950 was also received (Attachment #2). C. ANALYSIS 1. Unit Siting Plan. A unit siting plan has-been submitted for this project is accordance with Condition of Approval #32 which reads as follows: 1132. Seventy-five percent of dwelling units within 150-feet of the ultimate right-of-way of Miles Avenue shall be limited to one story, not to exceed 20-feet in height. The Applicant shall submit to the Planning and Development Department for their approval, a drawing showing the location of any units higher than one story located along Miles Avenue frontage." The unit siting plan however, shows 50% (5 units) of the total unit (10 units) within 150-feet of the right of way of Miles Avenue exceeding 20-feet in height. The Applicant needs to resubmit this plan increasing the number of one story units to eight out of a total of ten units (75%), to the Planning and Development Department for review and approval. Please note, the above discussion regarding the unit siting plan for information purposes only. No decision is required from the Planning commission regarding the unit siting plan. BJ/STAFFRPT.057 2. Elevation Variation only one alternate front elevation has been proposed for each unit. This, particularly in the case of the large number of single story units along Miles Avenue (see Attachment #2) will result in little variation in the streetscape. Staff therefore recommends that the Applicant submit a further alternative front elevation for both the single story unit (Unit B) and either unit C and/or D. 3. Color Scheme The Applicant has submitted two alternate color schemes for all four units proposed. For reasons stated above Staff recommends at least one other color scheme be submitted for this project. 4. Detailed Analysis of Unit Elevations (Attachment a. The Applicant has eliminated the need for security fencing around the entrance to Unit A (previously Unit #3). The entrance to the Unit can now be viewed adequately from the street. b. The Applicant has eliminated the elevation alternative which showed an awkward image created by a double canopy.- C. Hip roofs has been utilized on all buildings. d. An attempt has been made to show detailing on all elevations. However, this detailing is not consistent and/or the same on all four sides of the units. All four elevations need to be made consistent and architectural features labeled, for example window "pop outs". e. The following two problem areas require redesign particularly as regards the issues of proportion and size: 1.) Unit A: Front elevation, second story window. 2.) Unit C: Front elevation, second story windows and vents.
