DRBMIN-2/6 DATE: PROJECT: APPLICANT: LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT: LOCATION: BACKGROUND: STAFF REPORT DESIGN REVIEW BOARD APRIL 3, 1991 TENTATIVE TRACT 23519 AND TENTATIVE 1. PERIMETER LANDSCAPING PLANS 2. WATER FEATURE AT MILES AVENUE SANTA ROSA DEVELOPERS FOWLER/JOHNSON AND ASSOCIATES TRACT 26188 ENTRANCE SOUTH EAST CORNER OF ADAMS STREET AND MILES AVENUE The above two tracts together consist of 124 single family residential lots on 30 acres. These tracts plus the adjoining two subdivisions, TT 23935 and TT 25363 are all owned by Santa Rosa Developers. All the roads in this area will be public streets. 1. LANDSCAPING PLANS Proposal: The Applicant has prepared landscaping plans for the perimeter landscape strip along Miles Avenue and Adams Street. Staff Comments The wall/berm design needs to conform with the acoustical study for these tracts. The wall along Miles Avenue should be 6-feet high with a 3-foot berm. Adams Street should have a 6-foot high wall with a 2-foot berm. If any slope greater than 1:3 is created as a result of compliance with the wall/berm requirements, a retaining wall must be built. The design of the perimeter landscaping at the junction of these projects and that of TT 23935 (Topaz, already approved) to the east, should be coordinated (see Attachment #2) . The sidewalk meander needs to be the same and needs to match that of TT 23935. The planting proposed in the area between the sidewalk and curb at the junction of the two projects should be similar. The sidewalk along Adams Street needs to meander with a greater radii into the 10-foot landscape lot. The amount of sidewalk alongside the curb needs to be reduced particularly in the northern section of the perimeter strip. STAFFRPT.047 4. Additional information needs to be provided regarding "Blue Oat Grass". Will this planting material survive the desert heat and is it a low maintenance plant? 5. The Indian Hawthorn plants along Adams Street need to be replaced. This planting material will be adversely affected by the hot afternoon sun and the reflective heat from the surrounding sidewalk and wall. 6. The Boston Ivy does not respond well to the summer desert heat so should be replaced. The late afternoon sun in midsummer will still shine on the north facing wall where this plant is located on the attached landscaping plans. 7. The irrigation plan shows spray heads in the decomposed granite area. These need to be removed. The Applicant needs to clarify the symbol used for trees on Miles Street next to the curb. Are these Palo Verde trees? 9. The Applicant should be required to provide a sample of the decomposed granite to be used for approval. 10. The City's Landscaping and Lighting District will eventually maintain this perimeter landscaped area. The Engineering Department still needs to approve planting material and irrigation plans. In particular, "Rosa Banksiae" might be regarded as a high maintenance plant. 11. These plans will need to be approved by the Riverside County Agricultural Commission and Coachella Valley Water District. RECOMMENDATION: Review the plans in conjunction with Staff comments and determine if they are acceptable or if revisions are needed. 2. WATER FEATURE AT MILES AVENUE ENTRY TO SUBDIVISION Proposal The Applicant has proposed a water feature on both sides of the Miles Avenue entrance to these subdivisions. This water feature comprises a stepped waterfall with 3-inch "Topaz" colored tile surrounded by raised tiled planters, Mexican Fan Palms and other landscaping material. Staff Comments This water feature must be maintained by a homeowner's association. Any lighting proposal must conform to the "Dark Sky Ordinance" . The water feature does not encroach into the street right-of-way and complies with the sight line setback regulations. STAFFRPT.047 RECOMMENDATION: Review the plan in conjunction with Staff comments and determine if this design is acceptable or if revisions are needed.

Not eggshell or off-white or cream, but sandstone. But last summer, when it came time to buy paint, Nick Karagozian said, he went with "shell white:' which he thought was close enough. It warm It was too white, according to the review board, which has refused to give Gnat approval to the house. Without that OK the city Pleau see HOUSE, A22 Denise and Nick Karagozian stand in front of their home. The color has been ruled unacceptable. HOUSE: The Color Just Won't Do, Board Says Continued from As - will not allow utility service. The home remains vacant "I thought, this is crazy;" Denise Karagozian said. '"this house is turning into a nightmare." Iasi Tuesday, righting for what they considered a principle, the couple took their case to the City Council. The appeal was rejected 4 too. Critics of the Design Review Board say the Karagozian' situa- Lou represents an ongoing problem in Laguna Beach. The five-mem- her board, they say, has fro much power and consists of City Council appointees who may not have ex- penenee in building design. City officials, however, say the board eadsts to make sure that new homes fit into eodating communities. In Lagting Beach, every new building, every second -story addition and most projects that increase a home's Door space by ,;more than 50% must have the Design Review Board's blessing. At least tout of the five City Council members would have to approve a decision to overturn a design review denial. Last month, local architects formed the Architectural Guild of Laguna Beach to try to streamline the approval process, which they say is burdensome and arbitrary. Newport Beach architect Brien Jeannette, a member of the Amen - can Institute of Architects, said the process is more onerous in Laguna Beach than in other area cities with design review boards. In Laguna, board members can withhold ap- proval of a project even if it meets all codes. "It's a tough situation for us down here;" architect Christian Abel said. "People walk out of there shaking thew heads and my- ing.'Why do these people have this kind of Power?' ' But Design Review Board Chair- woman Barbara Metzger said the board is just doing its job. "Our direction comes from the .. municipal code and the gener- al plan," she said. "The applicant agreed to do it in 'desert sandstone' and that's the way it was approved:" Metzger said. "We're pretty season about having thing, done the way they've been approved." But Nick Karagozian feels he was double-crossed. After he had painted the home, a neighbor complained. Karagozian took the matter to the city's com- munity, development director, Kyle Bullerwick, who agreed that "shell white" was a close -enough substi- tute for "sandstone." Butterwick, all sides agree, has authority to allow minor changes like that. But the neighbor continued to complain, which prompted yet another hearing before the Design Review Board —the fifth for this house —at which Butterwick's OK wasoverlurned. "This makes me angrier than anything;Karagozian said. Now the couple are considering the options. They can repaint the house in the darker shade or go to court. Whichever their choice; Karagozian said, their dream has soured. "The thing of it is, it should be a pleasant experience:" he said. "It should have been fun, it should have been exciting. But all of that was taken away." DESIGN REVIEW BOARD DATE: APRIL 3, 1991 PROJECT: TENTATIVE TRACT 25389 (BROCK DESERT FAIRWAYS) APPLICANT: BROCK HOMES ARCHITECT: DANIELIAN ASSOCIATES LOCATION: SOUTH OF 50TH AVENUE, EAST OF PARK AVENUE BACKGROUND Tentative Tract 25389 is a 254 single family residential subdivision on 64 acre site surrounding a golf course. On March 7, 1990 the Design Review Board recommended approval of the original 4 unit elevations and color board for the project. The Planning Commission approved the above on March 13, 1990. A new unit, Unit #5, has now been proposed.

APPROVAL OF LANDSCAPING PLANS 2. APPROVAL OF STREET SIGNS 3. APPROVAL OF GUARD HOUSE LAYOUT CHUCK STROTHER RONALD GREGORY & ASSOCIATES - LANDSCAPING THE HOLT GROUP - GUARD HOUSE & STREET SIGNS SOUTH OF AVENUE 50, BETWEEN PARK AVENUE & JEFFERSON STREET Tentative Tract 26524 comprises 44 custom single family lots plus one well site on a total of 38 acres. Tentative Parcel Map 26525 is a parcel map with three residential lots on 4 acres. Tentative Tract 26524 and Tentative Parcel Map 26525 were approved by La Quinta City Council on December 18, 1990 and January 15, 1991 respectively. Both of these projects share entries and have private streets and will have Homeowner's Associations to maintain common areas. The Applicant intends to retain as many of the existing citrus trees as possible. The existing row of Date Palm trees along the entry street will also be retained and is utilized as part of the entry landscape design. 1. PERIMETER LANDSCAPING PROPOSAL The applicant has prepared preliminary Landscaping plans for the perimeter landscape strip along 50th Avenue, the entry street, guard house area and other common areas. These plans do not include landscaping of common areas in Tentative Parcel Merger 26525. STAFF COMMENTS 1. The extensive use of lawn on the entry/access street should be reduced. 2. The chain -link fence on the eastern side of the property should be green vinyl coated. DRB4/3.GL/CS -1- 3. The intermittent stretches of bike path/sidewalk next to the curb of 50th Avenue should not exceed 70 feet in length. 4. The applicant shall comply with tentative tract condition of approval 9 c. which reads as follows ("A" Street is the entry street): "c. "A" Street - full width lanes shall be minimum 16 feet wide in each direction. No citrus tree trunks shall be closer than 8 feet from the edge of the pavement." 5. Final approval of Landscaping plan is subject to approval by the Engineering Department particularly in respect to retention basins, irrigation plans, planting material, median breaks in the central east -west access road and design of corner knuckle areas. Note should be made that the Homeowner's Association for these tracts will be maintaining all the landscaping and common areas including the landscaping perimeter area along 50th Avenue. 6. The wall design and berm height along 50th Avenue needs to comply with the acoustical study. This study still needs to be submitted to this Department. 7. The well shown on the knuckle island in the northeastern corner of Tentative Tract 26524 should be shielded with planting material if visible. 8. The plans will need to be approved by the Riverside County Agricultural Commission and Coachella Valley Water District. 9. Lighting proposals must comply with the "Dark Sky Ordinance". RECOMMENDATION Review the plans in conjunction with Staff comments and determine if they are acceptable or if revisions are needed. 2. STREET SIGNS PRnPnSAT, The applicant has proposed a street sign for the interior private streets of the subject projects. The signs are 4' long, 3' 3 1/2" high (total height shown incorrectly on diagram as 3' 6 1/2") and up to 12" wide. The sign is rectangular, and supported by two wooden posts with a connecting beam and has a concrete footing. The sign is made of wood with a copper cap on the horizontal beam. Shielded lights are also provided to light up the street name. I.!I DRB4/3.GL/CS -2- STAFF COMMENTS 1. This proposal was circulated to Engineering and Building & Safety Departments for comments. 2. The sign is an acceptable height and complies with Planning and Engineering Department height standards. 3. The applicant needs to elaborate on the type of illumination and voltage of the lighting to be used. The lighting needs to comply with the "Dark Sky Ordinance". The sign design does provide shielding for the sign so compliance with the lighting ordinance should not be problematic. 4. The Homeowner's Association for these projects would have to maintain these signs. 5. The applicant would be required to obtain approval from the Engineering Department prior to location of the street signs to ensure traffic visibility is not decreased. RECOMMENDATION Review plan in conjunction with Staff comments and determine acceptability. 3. GUARD HOUSE LAYOUT PRnPnRAT. The applicant has proposed a guard house at the entry of Tentative Tract 26524 and Tentative Parcel Map 26525. The guard house is located in a position where it can serve both projects. The guard house comprises an office space with the roof area extending over the "check in" lane. The roof material is blue grey simulated copper with an aquamarine wood trim. A weather vane sits on a raised structure above the office roof. The office features a large expanse of casement windows fronting onto the "check in" lane. The plans also show dove grey plaster walls and grey brick detailing. STAFF COMMENTS 1. This proposal was circulated to both the City Engineer and County Fire Marshal for comment. 2. The Fire Marshal requires a minimum of 16 feet for access into the projects. All access roads should comply with the above. Emergency and other larger vehicles can gain access into the projects using the wider lane to the northwest of the gate house itself and need not use the narrow "check -in" lane provided. DRB4/3.GL/CS -3- v a 3. The applicant needs to coordinate with the Fire Marshal and other emergency service providers to ensure a frequency override is available for the automatic wrought iron gates. 4. The Engineering Department requires that the narrow "check -in" lane shown is widened at the point where the lane turns northwest. A solution to this problem would be to reduce the length of the central island thus increasing the lane width in the corner area (see Exhibit 54). Another solution would be to rotate the median "bulb" (where the guard house is located), counter clockwise thus reducing the "check -in" lane angle. 5. The guard house layout allows for easy exiting of vehicles refused entry. 6. Parking places have also been provided for security officers working in the guard house. 7. Guard house elevations are aesthetically acceptable. B. Does the applicant have any lighting proposals? They need to comply with the "Dark Sky Ordinance". RECOMMENDATION Review plans in conjunction with Staff comments and determine acceptability. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Locality Plan 2. Layout of TT 26524 & TPM 26525 3. Large scale landscaping plans 4.

NORTHWEST CORNER OF WASHINGTON STREET AND CALLE TAMPICO The proposed project consists of a supermarket, drug store, retail shops, and pad buildings on a 11.8 acre site. The project is scheduled for Planning Commission review at the meeting of April 9th. A General Plan Amendment and Change of Zone is also scheduled for the same meeting. SUBMITTAL: The Applicant has submitted a site plan elevation plans and conceptual landscape plan for the proposed project. No sign plans have yet been submitted. Color material samples and colored elevations will be available at the meeting. STAFF COMMENTS: The architecture of the proposed shopping center is similar in concept to the Village at Indian Wells shopping center located at the corner of Cook Street and Highway 111. The Applicant also constructed the shopping center to the north across Highway 111. The center is Spanish in nature and would utilize exterior cement plaster, ceramic tile accents, clay tile, wood trellis, and a mission clay tile roof. Tower structures which would act as accents would be located near the easterly corner of shop building #4 and at the center of Building #1. The rear elevations of the proposed center utilize mission clay tile roofing only at some corners. The balance of the rear walls are exterior cement plaster with some horizontal pop -out treatments at the top of the parapet and at the extension of bottom of the tile roof. Staff feels that due to the residential zoning and future uses which are likely to be developed on these properties, that additional architectural treatment should be provided. At the rear of the drug store, market, and shop #1, additional tile roofing should be provided. STAFFRPT.046 A conceptual landscaping plan has been submitted for the project. The plans indicates proposed trees to be used. The trees are generally water efficient. The ground covers and shrubs have not yet been identified. Date Palm trees are utilized adjacent to the entries to highlight entrance points and at the front of the main building. The other trees are utilized throughout the site. Mounding is provided adjacent to Washington Street and Calle Tampico. Additionally, a short screen wall is provided adjacent to parking lot areas along the streets. Turf is utilized along the perimeters of the street frontages. In these areas the Applicant indicates that landscaping through the use of trees would be provided to screen the flat wall areas. However, the site plan does not provide adequate planting areas to provide the screening, in the opinion of Staff. Two loading areas will be provided, one for the market and one for the drug store. A screen wall is indicated adjacent to these loading areas. Staff would offer the following comments regarding the project: 1. A detailed complete sign program will need to be approved by the Design Review Board prior to issuance of the first sign permit. The sign program shall include any identification signs for the shopping center. 2. The architecture, materials, and colors of the pad buildings shall be architecturally compatible (i.e. , identical architecture and/or materials) with the main shopping center buildings. 3. The cement plaster texture used on the buildings should be of a decorative nature. 4. Additional architectural treatment through the extension of the tile roof should be provided around the rear sides of the building in those areas that would be most exposed to adjacent properties. 5. There is a relatively large amount of turf used adjacent to the street frontages. 6. The landscaping will have to comply with all requirements as indicated in the off street parking requirements. This includes the requirement for 50% tree shading of the parking lot area. 7. The off street parking requirements also require established shopping cart storage areas. These will have to be provided on the site. 8. A preliminary landscaping plan indicating specific tree, shrub, and ground covers should be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board prior to preparation of the final landscaping plan. 9. There should be additional landscape planting provided adjacent to the fronts of the buildings. STAFFRPT.046 2 4 J 10. Water efficient irrigation systems including bubblers and emitters should be utilized wherever possible. 11. Landscaping adjacent to the north and west should be heavily planted to provide screening and buffering with the adjacent residentially zoned properties. 12. Meandering sidewalks will need to be provided adjacent to Washington Street and Calle Tampico. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Design Review Board review the plans in light of the above comments and if deems acceptable, recommend approval to the Planning Commission subject to all conditions deemed necessary.

PAUL SMITH LOCATION: SOUTHEAST CORNER OF HIGHWAY 111 AND ADAMS STREET (EXTENDED) ARCHITECT: URRUTIA ARCHITECTS BACKGROUND: The proposed project consists of a 10,000 square foot dance nightclub which would be constructed as a partial two story building. The building would be located near the northeast corner of the site fronting on Highway 111. Parking would be provided to the south and west. A future building pad is provided at the northwest corner of the property. The project site consists of 3.6 net acres (4.5 gross acres) and is presently vacant and fairly level with some rolling sand dunes. Adjacent properties surrounding the site are presently vacant. SUBMITTAL: The Applicant has submitted a site plan, elevation plans, grading plan, and conceptual landscaping plans. Additionally, a colored elevation plan and material samples have been submitted. STAFF COMMENTS: Staff has reviewed the plans and would offer the comments: 1. Three shades of stucco color are proposed as can be seen in the colored elevation plan which will be available at the meeting. 2. Glass block is utilized in the contemporarily designed structure. 3. The plans do not indicate whether there will be any roof equipment provided. If so, it must be screened by the parapet of the building or have a screen around it which is designed to fit in with the building. 4. The landscaping plan shows plant material which is primarily water efficient, with the exception of the limited lawn and some annual color. STAFFRPT.043 1 5. A sidewalk will be provided on both Highway 111 and Adams Street.
