IV. CONSENT CALENDAR A. Approval of Minutes of March 4, 1992 V. OTHER VI. ADJOURNMENT STAFF REPORT DESIGN REVIEW BOARD DATE: MAY 6, 1992 APPLICATION: PLOT PLAN 92-484 APPLICANT: MR. MAC MCCORMICK REQUEST: TO DEVELOP A SMALL TAKE-OUT PIZZA RESTAURANT AT 79- 090 CALLE ESTADO ON 0.12 ACRES IN A COMMERCIAL VILLAGE "THE CORE" ZONE DISTRICT. BACKGROUND: The subject site is located in the Downtown Village Specific Plan area which was approved by the City Council in 1988. The specific plan area involves approximately 100 acres and it generally encompasses Eisenhower Drive on the west and Desert Club Drive on the east. EXISTING LAND USE: Site: Vacant North: Robi's Restaurant South: City Hall East: Vacant West: Library complex SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The existing street improvements are existing along Calle Estado. There is also an existing alley on the north side of the property with overhead utilities. The parcel is 50 feet by 100 feet in size. ARCHITECTURE: A contemporary Spanish theme is proposed for the single story building (+19 feet high) . The building will be white with brown trim. The south elevation will include a decorative wood arcade over the public sidewalk area on Calle Estado. The arcade will be accented with a concrete tile covered porch entry. Vertical decorative columns will support the covered shade structure. The other sides of the building will have plant -on arches to compliment the project since the building sides will be on the property line. ON -SITE PARKING: The parking requirements for a take-out style restaurant are one on -site space per 250 square feet of gross building area. Therefore, the minimum number of spaces is approximately six vehicle parking spaces. The applicant has proposed five spaces on their April 20, 1992 site plan. The Applicant has indicated that he will participate DRBST.024 4 + ., v O O i' L in the City's future Downtown Parking District and, therefore, he is willing to contribute bond money for his on -site parking deficiency. The proposed handicap space does not meet the new American Disabilities Act standards. The required space is 17-feet wide by 19-feet deep in size which will allow both a passenger vehicle and/or a passenger van. The proposed space is approximately 3-feet in width smaller than required. As a result, the area between the building and the parking stall will have to become part of the handicap parking space. The handicap ramp will also be affected by this action. STAFF COMMENTS: The architecture style for the project is consistent with other existing buildings in the downtown area. The building will compliment the architectural style of the La Quinta Branch Library to the west of this site. However, our comments are: 1. Incandescent uplighting should be used for the parking lot landscaping. The fixtures shall meet the provisions of the City's Outdoor Lighting Ordinance. The lighting should include glare control features which will help direct the light downward. 2. A sign concept should be submitted. Staff would recommend that the sign program incorporate natural textures, possibly sandblasted wood signs, which could emulate the "Village" character of this area. The signs should be positioned between the wood trellis and the top of the stuccoed parapet. 3. The final sign program and landscape plan should be reviewed by the Design Review Board. 4. Jacaranda trees should be used along Calle Estado as a backdrop to the proposed palm trees within the City's parkway. The parking lot trees should be of an evergreen nature and designed to provide shade for both customers and employees. We would recommend: Fruit Fig (Ficus Carica), Bottlebrush Tree (Callistemon Viminalis) , California Pepper (Schinum Molle) , Bottle Tree (Brachychiton Populneus), and African Sumac (Rhus Lancea). All parking lot trees should include deep well watering systems to ensure tree growth. 5. Shrub and groundcover areas should be irrigated by drip irrigation methods where possible and all nuisance water shall be retained on -site within the landscape areas or by other approved methods (e.g., drywell) . 6. Decorative concrete sidewalk paving should be used to accent Calle Estado. The textured paving should be concrete and colored to add attention to this area and include a salt finish. 7. The exposed wood beams should be either heavy timber or glu-lams. The beams should not be stuccoed and the ends of the beams should include a decorative feature (e.g., rounded cut). 8. The architecture materials and colors of the building shall be architecturally compatible (i.e., identical architecture, colors, and/or materials) with the Village Specific Plan Design Goals. DRBST.024 Cement plaster texture used on building shall be of a decorative nature and approved by the Planning and Development department prior to issuance of a building permit. 9. The handicap parking space shall be a minimum size of 17-feet by 19-feet to accommodate a personal vehicle and a van -size vehicle per the American Disabilities Act provisions. 10. The rear elevation facing the alley shall be upgraded to include other architectural elements (e. g. , stucco with architectural plant-ons) as required by the C-V-C Zoning standards. The Zoning Code states that Staff should require "...displays, display windows, entryways, signage, lighting, landscaping, and architecture detailing shall be provided on the alley side of structures along alleys." 11. No exposed downspouts should be permitted unless they are an integral part of the architectural elements of the building. 12. The roof parapet should be a minimum of 30 inches in height above the roof deck. All roof mounted mechanical equipment should be concealed behind the parapet or ground mounted. 13. The windows along Calle Estado should be recessed three inches into the building to create added pedestrian interest along the public sidewalk arcade. 14. The window and door frames for the project should be wood. 15. The proposed trash enclosure shall be 8-feet wide by 10-feet as depicted on the enclosed sketch. CONCLUSION: The proposed plan is generally consistent with the design standards of the C-V-C Zone District and the adopted Specific Plan for the downtown area. Staff is supportive of the conceptual plan. RECOMMENDATION: The Design Review Board should review the plans in light comments. Should the Design Review Board feel revisions are requiring review by the Staff or Design Review Board before Building and Safety Department can be imposed or revisions ca to Planning Commission action on this request.

APPLICANT: EISENHOWER MEDICAL CENTER AND LA QUINTA MEDICAL DEVELOPMENT,INC. ARCHITECT: JERDE PARTNERSHIP (PAUL N. SENZAKI, AIA) LOCATION: NORTHEAST CORNER OF WASHINGTON STREET AND 48TH AVENUE BACKGROUND: The subject property is a site of approximately 12 acres of which 5 acres is proposed to be developed in the initial phase. The project site is a commercial lot created with the Lake La Quinta subdivision. The initial phase of construction will consist of the property adjacent to the northeast corner of Washington Street and 48th Avenue. Vehicular access will be taken from Caleo Bay along the east property line. Immediately east of the Phase I construction across Caleo Bay are single family residential lots which are part of Lake La Quinta. To the east of the future phase area, the property is zoned C-P-S and fronts on the lake. To the south across 48th Avenue is the pyramids project and to the west is vacant land which is zoned R-i ( single family) . To the north of the future phase area which is bounded by Lake La Quinta Drive, the land is zoned C-P-S and is vacant. That property is also a part of the Lake La Quinta subdivision. To the southwest of the site is Laguna de la Paz, a condominium project. To date the perimeter landscaping along Washington Street and 48th Avenue has been installed. To a great extent this area is utilized for retention of street storm water and therefore recessed. PROJECT SUBMITTAL: The Applicants have submitted a site plan, conceptual landscape plan, elevation plans, floor plans and exterior material samples. The first phase construction area is the southern most 400+ feet of the site adjacent to 48th Avenue. The proposed rectangular building is located in approximately the middle of the site on an east/west axis. The building which contains approximately 71,100 square feet of floor space is primarily a three story structure with a small portion of it one story in height. DRBST.025 Vs., O1 The main entry into the building will be along the north side of the building with the south side designed as a secondary entrance. A service area exists on the east side of the structure. The majority of the parking is located along the west and south sides of the site. As previously indicated, the 7+ acre area north of the entry driveway is reserved for future expansion. ARCHITECTURE: The architecture of the proposed project could be described as contemporary and utilizing a flat roof with varying vertical and horizontal planes. The second and third stories around the various sides have outdoor terraces and metal framework, trellis covers and columns. The exterior materials proposed to be used consist of burnished and sandblasted concrete block and a painted concrete with aggregate. The maximum height of the structure is 50 feet at the entry lobby with the maximum height around the tower being 46 feet. An exterior covered arcade is provided at ground level on the south and west sides and on a portion of the south side. LANDSCAPING CONCEPT: The Applicant has submitted a very conceptual landscape plan. That plan shows that within the parking lot area canopy trees will be planted to provide shading as required by Code. Adjacent to the entry drive on Caleo Bay and along the north and south sides of the buildings, palm trees will be planted. No other specific landscaping is shown. Presently the perimeter landscaping along Washington Street and 48th Avenue has been installed. SIGNAGE: The plans show a Eisenhower Hospital logo on the north and south elevations of the building. Additionally, three monument sign locations are shown without any design details or sizes. PUBLIC ART: In a circular island in the driveway at the main drop off area, the plans show a public art location. STAFF COMMENTS: While there is no specific adopted architectural style for the City of La Quinta, there is a prevalent architectural style. That style is Spanish or Mediterranean. The Village of La Quinta Specific Plan adopted a Spanish or Desert Oasis style of architecture. The area surrounding this property has generally developed in a Spanish and Mediterranean style architecture. The Simon Plaza and Desert Hospital projects along with Plaza La Quinta are all Spanish style projects. The Lake La Quinta residential project is Mediterranean. The Catholic Church on the west side of Washington Street is designed in a Spanish style. The architecture as proposed by the Applicant is contemporary and of a different style. Therefore, the architecture of this project may not be appropriate for this site in La Quinta. DRBST.025 01, The conceptual landscaping plan submitted is not sufficient to be given any type of approval. However, the concept of canopy trees within the parking lot and palm trees adjacent to the entry and around the building is acceptable. Prior to the preparation of the final working drawings, a preliminary landscaping plan showing plant location, sizes, species, and existing planting will need to be approved by the Design Review Board. Over some of the windows there is frame work trellis. These while providing some architectural treatment do not provide any shading of glass areas. Signage is not sufficient to approve at this time. It will need to be approved prior to issuance of a building permit. The location shown for a public art piece is acceptable to Staff. RECOMMENDATION: The Design :Review Board should review the plans in light of the above comments and determine acceptability. Conditions can be imposed upon the Planning Commission approval or if the changes needed are major, the Applicant can revise the plans prior to Planning Commission consideration. Attachments: 1.
