PROJECT: PLOT PLAN 92-488
REQUEST: APPROVAL OF ARCHITECTURAL PLANS FOR PHASE II OF THE
111 LA QUINTA CENTER LOCATED NORTH OF HIGHWAY 111,
BETWEEN WASHINGTON STREET AND ADAMS STREET. PHASE
II IS LOCATED TO THE WEST OF THE WAL-MART PROJECT.
APPLICANT: WASHINGTON /ADAMS PARTNERSHIP
ARCHITECT: MC CLELLAND/CRUZ/GAYLORD AND ASSOCIATES
BACKGROUND:
The Phase II development plan is on approximately 20% of the entire shopping center
project. The new phase is located in Specific Plan 89-014 which was approved in
April, 1990. A copy of the original conditions attached.
DESIGN PROPOSAL:
The June 4, 1992, submittal is attached. The plans indicated approximately 151,110
square feet of commercial leasable space on the project site.
The tenant spaces proposed are:
1 A-2

TOTAL 151,110 sq. ft.
NOTE: The freestanding pad sites are not a part of this review.
The building complex is laid out with the long axis of the building parallel to
Washington Street. The main public entryways into the building complex will be
along the south side of the building. The architecture of the building utilizes many
of the architectural features as reviewed and approved for the Wal-Mart buildings.
Additionally, all colors and materials match those used in the project.
The south side of the building is provided with a covered walkway feature to match
that used in the shopping center. The maximum height of the structure is 25 feet
to 36 feet.
DRBST.060
4-j_, 002
STAFF COMMENTS:
1. The architecture of the proposed building complex is very similar to the
shopping center and will be compatible.
2. Glass store -front areas are shaded by building overhangs on the south side
of the building.
Although the Applicant has indicated where the Phar-Mor sign is to be placed
and letter style, the Applicant submitted no material samples or attached
dimensions for the signs. The approved sign program requires that the
internally illuminated individual letters have matt black return or trim. The
sign program allowed the Albertson's sign to have 36 to 48 inch high letters
and the Wal-Mart sign to have 60 inch high letters. The in -line tenants are
24 inch high letters. Staff feels that the sign proposed for the south elevation
is conceptually acceptable.
CONDITIONS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR APPROVAL:
Final landscaping plans shall be approved by Agricultural Commissioner and
Coachella Valley Water District, prior to issuance of a building permit.
2. The final landscape and pedestrian arcade design should be reviewed during
plan check by the Design Review Board.
3. Signage shall be in conformance with the approved sign program for the
center. The lettering height for the Phar-Mor sign shall not exceed 60 inches
since they are a major tenant of the proposed shopping center, and to be
consistent with the other past approvals. Review of the Phar-Mor sign
package should be subject to final approval by the Design Review Board and
Planning Commission if the sign is granted more than 50 square feet in area.
A sign adjustment request will be necessary.
4. The precision concrete block with double diamond pattern design theme should
be used along the entre frontage of the Phar-Mor building. The decorative
design should be located above the proposed sign location.
5. The building materials with colors should match the previously approved color
board exhibit of Specific Plan 89-014 and Plot Plan 90-434 unless otherwise
approved by the Design Review Board.
6. All provision of approved Specific Plan 89-014 and Plot Plan 90-434 shall be
met during plan check.
7. The store -front building arcade treatment should be extended along the
westerly side of major tenant spaces (H-3) approximately 100 feet north of the
southwest corner of the building to accentuate the architectural character of
this portion of the shopping center.

CONSIDERATION: SIGN APPLICATIONS FROM CEQA PER SECTION E 15311, EGORICALLY EXEMPT
CLASS ELEVEN
PLOT PLAN 91-466 (REVISION):
The Planning Commission and City Council approved the commercial project
approximately three months ago after various modifications were made to the
proposal. The project will include a 44 lane bowling alley, two restaurants, fitness
center, office complex and two parking structures.
BACKGROUND:
The signage proposal has been reviewed by the Design Review Board on a few
occasions over the last six months. At each meeting the design graphics were either
different or other minor modifications were made. Staff finally recommended that the
sign program not proceed forward until the Architect finalized the project with the
Planning Commission and City Council. On March 3, 1992, the City Council accepted
the revised Plot Plan Application.
The sign contractor has submitted a new sign program based on the March 3, 1992
City Council approval. The program is generally based on the sign graphics which
were seen by the Design Review Board in December, 1991.
PROPOSED SIGN PROGRAM (AMENDMENT #3):
The Applicant has submitted a freestanding center identification sign, a concept
building sign program, and directional signs for the proposed multiple use complex.
PCST.028
022
A. Freestanding Center Identification Signs: The freestanding sign is 12-feet
in height and the graphic sign cabinet is approximately 50 square feet
excluding the decorative arched top. The sign is internally illuminated and
the cabinet will be stuccoed to match the proposed building color (Navajo
White). The "Simon Plaza" portion of the sign will be blue whereas the
decorative arched top will be royal blue (translucent vinyl over white
plexiglass) . The cabinet base will be tiled. This triangular -shaped sign will
be located at the northwest corner of the site. The sign is three -sided.
B. Directional Parking Signs: The freestanding directional signs are three feet
in height and three square feet. The signs will be internally illuminated and
the design is consistent with the center identification sign.
C. Monument Signs: New monument signs have been proposed for one of the
restaurant pad sites (Sign #12) and one for the four story office building
(Sign #5).
D. Attached Building Signs: The building signs are located on various areas of
the building complex which will house the future bowling alley, fitness center,
office building, and restaurant. The illuminated channel lettered signs are
to have blue plexiglass faces (#607-1GP Acrylite Blue) except for a slight
variation in the bowling alley sign adding orange/white/red to the blue. The
sign program will consist of:
1. Restaurant(s)
Cabinet sign (recessed)
A. Sign #14 (3) _ (35 sq. ft. each)
B. Sign #11 = 1811 letters (33 sq. ft.)
2. Family Fitness Center
C. Sign #8 = 20" letters (63 sq. ft.)
D. Sign #7 = 14" letters (27 sq. ft. )
3. Bowling Alley
E. Sign #9 = 18" letters (17 sq. ft.)
F. Sign #10 = 18" letters (17 sq. ft.)
G. Sign #13 = 18" letters (17 sq. ft.)
4. Office/Medical
H. Sign #6 = 14" letters (31 sq. ft. )
TOTAL = ±310
ZONING CODE PROVISIONS (EXCERPTS):
8F-IN
PCST.028
023
Freestanding Signs.
a. Each commercial complex containing a multiple -tenant
building or multiple buildings is permitted one complex
identification sign per street frontage. The area of any
one sign shall not exceed one -quarter of a square foot of
sign area per lineal foot of street frontage, or fifty square
feet, whichever is less. The aggregate area of all such
signs shall not exceed one hundred square feet and sign
area may not be combined among street frontages.
b. Not pertinent for this report.
C. The maximum height of any freestanding sign shall be
twelve feet.
M. Directional Signs. Nonadvertising, freestanding signs used to identify
street entrance and exit. Said signs must have three square feet of
sign area and be three feet in height.
Attached Signs
a. Each tenant within a multiple -tenant commercial complex
may have one attached identification sign not to exceed one
square foot of sign area per lineal foot of tenant space
frontage along a street, or frontage along a common use
parking lot where no direct street frontage is provided,
not exceeding fifty square feet. Corner, end, or separate
tenant spaces may split the allowable frontage sign area
among two signs."
STAFF COMMENTS:
The monument sign and directional signs are consistent with the design theme of the
project, and the proposed colors are appropriate for this area. The signs would be
architecturally compatible with surrounding businesses uses. A summary on the
building sign package is as follows:
A. Building Sign Colors: The blue copy of the building letters is not a contrast
to the architectural style of the project and the blue letters will be legible
during the day and at night. The blue letters would match both the Simon
Motors and the Downey Savings signs which are in the immediate area.
C. Sion Lettering Height: Sign lettering is a key component of building
identcation, but architectural compatibility is also an ingredient, as well as
human -scale. As noted before, the sign contractor has proposed lettering
heights of 14" to 18" for this project. Therefore, the legibility of the signs
from a distance will be approximately:

NOTE: Red, black, or white letters (maximum) with 10% variation for other
colors (e.g. , blue) for internally lit signs.
In summary, the size of the letters for the project will be easy to read for all
patrons in the parking lot area and for passing motorists on either main
thoroughfare depending upon your direction of travel.
PREVIOUS DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEETING:
The Design Review Board met on November 6, 1991, to discuss this case. Discussion
ensued on whether or not the building letters should be internally illuminated or
externally illuminated. After much debate, the Board felt that the building(s) is
close enough to the street to warrant external lighting versus internal illumination
as requested by the Applicant and, further, the group did not believe reverse
channel letters would be appropriate for this building complex. The Applicant did
not want to install reverse channel letters either because they require more
maintenance (they get dirty) and are exposed to natural elements since they have
exposed parts. At one point in the meeting Mr. Berg, the sign contractor, did state
that he would be receptive to rust letters if he could have internally illuminated
signage for the building. However, this concept did not gain approval by the
Board.
Another topic by the Design Review Board was the lettering style for the building
signs. The Board thought the building warranted a stylized lettering design instead
of the Helvetica Bold as presented by the sign contractor. The sign contractor was
amicable to the changes requested by the Board. A copy of the lettering styles are
attached.
The Design Review Board also approved the building plexiglass letters which were
presented by the Applicant. No color changes were made by the Board.
Finally, the Design Review Board felt the Fitness Center sign location was acceptable
since it was for one of the major tenants of the complex and it did not hinder the
architectural elements of the project or reduce their character.
On November 20, 1991, Staff received a new sign package submittal from the sign
contractor. The new program (Program #2) includes internally illuminated cabinet
signs for the proposed buildings. The cabinet signs vary in size from two feet wide
to three feet and range in height from 14 feet to 36 feet.
PCST.028
025
The signs will have white (Navajo) backgrounds with the copy colors matching the
original program (blue with accent colors) .
The new program was reviewed by the Design Review Board on December 4, 1991.
However, the Board did not support this new request because it is not as
architecturally structured as other types of programs previously examined in this
report.
The Design Review Board at their meeting of December 4, 1991, reconsidered their
action of November 6, 1991, and decided as a group to allow internally illuminated
sign (channel letters) submitted by the Applicant. Therefore, the Board voted (6-
1, Boardmember Anderson voting no) to permit internally illuminated channel letters
on the building.
The following findings and recommendation are based on the Design Review Board's
action of December 4, 1991.
FINDINGS:
1. The size and location of the Bowling Alley building signs are placed to provide
for maximum sight exposure to passing motorists and the general public at
large. The sign on the northerly elevation will not detract from the
architectural character of the building nor impact the sign program as
presented. The sign graphics dictate a need to adjust the City's size
standards to compensate for the proposed design theme.
2. The Fitness Center sign is needed on the second story of the building
complex. If located on the first floor level, it could not be seen by passing
motorists, and as it is an integral part of the Bowling Alley complex, building
advertising is needed for this type of commercial use.
ADDITIONAL STAFF COMMENTS:
Staff has a problem with the following signs:
Sign #7 - The proposed Family Fitness sign is located on the northwest side of the
building on the upper -most part building under the roof. The sign is out of
character with the building because the sign length is approximately the same
distance between each building corner which over emphasizes the signing mass. The
sign concept is not consistent with the other signs in the complex. We would prefer
to eliminate the sign from the proposal -
Sign #3 (Parking Sign) - The proposed garage parking sign is located on the north
side of the proposed parking structuring facing Highway Ill. This sign is not
needed because the sign #4 serves the primary function to direct patrons into the
parking structure from the on -site two-way driveway.
Sign ##5 (Desert Professional Freestanding Sign) - This sign is not permitted unless
a finding can be made to justify the sign based on 9.212.030 (Section F) of the Sign
Ordinance. As mentioned before, one freestanding sign is permitted per street
frontage. Sign #2 meets this requirement as proposed. Staff is supportive to Sign
#5 because the applicant has forfeited his right to have a building sign facing
PCST.028 5
x 026
Highway 111 in order to have a two-sided (angled design) monument sign in front of
the four story building. We would recommend that the sign be one sided an
positioned parallel to the building, therefore, visible only as you enter the project.
Additionally, the sign face construction should be the same as Sign #2 (i.e. stucco
aluminum background with incised letters and 1" silver trim cap).
Sign #12 (Freestanding Jonathan's Restaurant) - The two-sided angular sign is
located on the north side of the proposed building and south of Highway 111. The
sign has the same characteristics to Sign #5 and staff generally has the same
concerns or comments as mentioned above for Sign #5. The only difference would be
the design of the sign, we would recommend that the sign be double-faced but
perpendicular to Highway 111.
Sign #2 (Freestanding Center Identification Sign) - The new request by the
Applicant is to have a 3-sided triangular center identification sign at the intersection
of Highway 111 and Washington Street.
In the past designs, the sign was triangular but only two sides had copy
information. Staff is opposed to the new request since the Sign Ordinance states one
sign should be permitted per street frontage. There are only two streets at this
site, therefore, only a two sided sign is needed.
FINDINGS:
1. The proposed additional freestanding identification signs (Signs #5 & 12)
should be permitted on the site because they further the goal of the Master
Sign Program which is to install signs which can easily be read and are located
to provide maximum exposure to passing motorists. By substituting monument
signs for attached building signs, staff believes the provisions of the Sign
Ordinance will not be adversely affected nor will the applicant be receiving
preferential treatment for his proposal.
The upper story building signs are needed to identify the mixed use
commercial center because the single story buildings along Highway 111 and
Washington block the exposure of some of the signs if not permitted above a
single story height limitation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff would request that the
program, as submitted, subject
