IV. CONSENT CALENDAR - None V. OTHER VI. ADJOURNMENT STAFF REPORT DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEETING DATE: JUNE 23, 1993 CASE NO: PLOT PLAN 93-495 (REVISION) APPLICANT/ DEVELOPER: SIMON PLAZA, INC. (PHILIP PEAD) SUBJECT: REVIEW OF REVISED ELEVATION PLANS FOR COMMERCIAL PROJECT ON 5.6 ACRES IN THE C-P-S ZONE (THREE STORY OFFICE/MEDICAL BUILDING) LOCATION: SOUTHEAST CORNER OF HIGHWAY 111 AND WASHINGTON STREET. BACKGROUND: The Planning Commission at the meeting of May 11, 1993, approved plans for an 82,000 ± square foot commercial project. As a part of the approval, the Planning Commission required that the proposed four story structure be reduced in height to three stories and 40 feet in overall height (Condition #73). Additionally, the Commission stipulated that the fourth story square footage could be regained by constructing a floor over the two level parking structure provided the 150-foot setback is complied with. The approval requires that both the Design Review Board and Planning Commission review these revised plans prior to preparation of final working drawings. At the request of the applicant, the Planning Commission reviewed the new three story office/medical building design on June 8, 1993. The group thought the plans were consistent with their May, 1993, directive, but the Planning Commission stated that if the Design Review Board felt major changes were appropriate, the recommendation of the Design Review Board should be returned to them for final approval. The applicant's June 2, 1993, submittal is attached. The developer's plans included four views of the proposal from each of the four primary sides of the project. However, it would have been helpful to have the roof plan for review also. The applicant is aware that he will have to come before the Design Review Board again to meet the provisions of Condition #24 (see attached conditions). RECOMMENDATION: Staff would request that the Design Review Board examine the applicant's June 2, 1993, submittal and forward any pertinent comments to the developer so that he can incorporate the changes into his final working drawings. Attachments: 1. Revised site plan and elevation plans dated June 2, 1993 2. Conditions of Approval (excerpt) DRBST.097���AL Conditions of Approval Plot Plan 93-495 (Revision) May 11, 1993 18.

I CUSTOM LOT DESIGN GUIDELINES INTRODUCTION Set against a particularly dramatic formation of the Santa Rosa Mountains, PGA WEST offers sweeping views across fairways, rolling hills and lakes. This unique setting demands elegance and unity in architecture and landscape design that is evident at PGA WEST; the purpose of the Custom Lot Design Guidelines and The Architectural and Landscape Committee is to maintain this harmony. Each Custom Lot provides an ideal setting within the overall framework for a truly distinctive residence and lifestyle. To design, process and implement the Custom Lot building program requires the understanding and cooperation of all individual Custom Lot owners from conception of their design plans to completion of their Custom Homes. It is important for all individual owners to realize and respect that they represent a very visual part of the overall framework that composes the PGA WEST image. To insure that PGA WEST is developed as originally envisioned, this comprehensive set of Design Guidelines and review committee have been established to oversee this program. The objective are to encourage excellence in architecture and landscaping, to promote an image readily identifiable with quality in development, and to maintain lasting values. The design, review and processing of each residence will be subject to direction and approval of the Architectural and Landscape Committees. The Architectural Committee and Design Guidelines are intended to enforce reasonable controls with regard to various aesthetic considerations for PGA WEST. These controls are not meant to duplicate or supersede the functions normally provided by public agencies, but rather to coordinate and direct the design and construction of the Custom Lots with different architects, landscape architects, engineers, contractors and their owners so as to achieve a pattern of quality and outstanding character. The following are some key elements which correspond with design goals set by the Architectural Committee: 1. Compatible architecture. To what exists now at PGA WEST. 2. Simple, elegant, strong architectural statements. 3. Viewed from any angle, a residence should be an integral part of the site and its surroundings. 4. Choice of roof shapes, exterior material, application, and architectural detail must all maintain consistent architectural direction. 3 5. A simple use of materials and details typical of homes found in the Southernwestern United States. The objectives of the Design Guidelines are to encourage and foster careful design so there is harmony between the homes, their sites and the golf courses, desert environment and overall PGA WEST image. Emphasis is placed on utilizing your property to its fullest potential within these Design Guidelines. To accomplish these objective, the following consideration must be understood and accepted: 1. Guidelines for design and construction should be acknowledged to be for everyone's benefit. 2. A spirit of cooperation between the Architectural Committee and the owner. 3. Guidelines cannot be all encompassing and consequently are meant to encourage, rather than restrict, creativity. These Guidelines may at first seem rather ominous, particularly because of their length. Much of the contact, however, merely lists required items and details that are routinely included by any competent design professional. In addition, you will find that these Guidelines serve as an excellent check list in the planning process for you and your consultants. 4. �—wJWA?

DESIGN REVIEW THE CUSTOM LOT ARCHITECTURAL AND LANDSCAPE COMMITTEE ("Architectural Committee") The Architectural Committee established by the PGA WEST Residential Association I is responsible for reviewing and approving all PGA WEST Custom Lot site improvements and any revision or alteration to those improvements. The goal of the Architectural Committee is to process each submittal fairly, consistently, in a timely manner and, most important, in accordance with the requirements of the Design Guidelines and Covenant, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R's). the Architectural Committee, however, has the right to modify the Design Guidelines and also to waive any of the requirements on a case by case basis where, in the judgement of the Committee, the circumstances warrant a waiver or modification of the requirements. A. PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANT REQUIREMENTS The owner is requested to use a California licensed professional Designer/architect and a California licensed professional landscape architect. It is the owner's responsibility to make sure that his consultants (architect, landscape architect, etc.) process through the Architectural Committee any exterior architectural and landscape construction or revisions. 3. The owner is responsible f consultants and contractor conformance with approved specification. B. DESIGN TEAM ORIENTATION or making sure his construct his residence in plans, revisions, & The design review process begins with an orientation for the lot owner and his consultants with the Architectual Committee representative followed by two plan submittals. The plan submittals are preliminary design and final working drawings. While it is not required, it is recommended that the lot owner contact the Architectural Committee representative L-C early in the process, prior to selecting his design team. One of the purposes of this contact is to review professional consultant requirements and to discuss architectural and landscape goal and philosophy. It is extremely important that the lot owner be actively involved in the design review process. While the lot owner's designated representatives (usually the architect and landscape architect) will handle most of the subsequent contact with the Architectural Committee, it is the lot owner's ultimate responsibility to understand and comply with the Custom Lot Guidelines. After the lot owner has selected his architect and landscape architect, a consultants orientation session should be scheduled with the Architectural Committee representative. Besides familiarizing members of the owner's design team with the design philosophy at PGA WEST, more detailed aspects of the review process will be covered. A number of important items will be reviewed; these include: 1. Drawing submittals and design review applications; these must be complete and in line with submittal requirements before the Architectural Committee will formally accept them for review. 2. A project architect and landscape architect must be assigned to be the only representatives to represent the owner during the plan submittal and building process. 3. A review of site maps and supplementary information necessary to start design work. C. PRELIMINARY DESIGN: The Preliminary Design submittal is meant to provide the owner and Committee with drawings that illustrate and communicate a design concept that is well integrated with the site and surroundings. Please note that a material/color screen board will be required. The Committee will act on the Preliminary Design submittal within 30 days of submittal date. After the Committee reviews and approves the Preliminary Design submittal, the Committee Chairman will sign two sets of drawings "AS APPROVED" and return them to the lot owner or his representative. The Committee will need four sets of Preliminary Design Drawings and one material board for review purposes. As a general requirement, each consultant shall include an information block on all submittal sheets containing: 1. North arrow. 2. Street names. 3. Submission date. 4. Date of each revision, change or plan re -issue 5. Name and mailing address of the lot owner. 6. Name, address, telephone number and California license number of the architect if applicable. 7.

ARCHITECTURAL AND LANDSCAPE COMMITTEE INSPECTIONS After the construction of the lot owner's residence begins, the following formal inspections by the Architectural Committee or its representative are required ( see below). During the duration of the construction phase, any number of informal inspections of the house and its surrounding improvements may be made by the Committee. #1 INSPECTION DESCRIPTION Building Location and When the slab Setback Inspection formwork is in but before the house slab is poured, the general contractor or job superintendent must call for this inspection to confirm the location of the house is according to plan and within the building setback area. String lines at time of inspection so that accurate measurements between the house and property lines can be taken. Plan conformance will be made by field measurement with the general contractor or job superintendent. Distances between overhangs or trellises and property lines also will be confirmed according to plan at this time. This inspection requires 24-hour advance notice. #2 Landscape Inspections 15 Two landscape #3 Architectural Committee Plan Conformance Inspection inspections will be made with the landscape contractor and the landscape architect, or representative, on site. These are 1) Plant Material and Placement: confirmation of plant species, quantity, size and placement will be made before planting. Location and arrangement of headerboards and special amenities will be inspected at this time, and 2) Final Landscape Inspection• irrigation system and coverage, grass sod and seeding, ground cover and flower detailing, vine training, landscape lighting, etc. will be examined at this time. It will be the responsibility of general contractor's or job superintendents to call for these inspections at the proper time and coordinate with the Architectural Committee. After Completion of the landscape inspections (above), Architectural Committee inspection will be make to determine if the house and surrounding improvement have been built according 16 f) 7 JL to the approved plans and revisions. If these have been complied with, a recordable notice to the effect will be issued to the owner. This inspection will be made with the general contractor or job superintendent prior to the call for occupancy permit inspection. This inspection requires 48-hour advance notice. 17 II. ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS A. EASEMENTS/UTILITIES 1. the Architectural Committee will individually review all improvements planned for inclusion over easements held by public agencies, the developers and the Homeowners Associations. Easements that are located on Custom Lots include, but are not limited to, water lines, irrigation lines, sewers, and storm drain lines, locations of these easements are found on the easement map available in a preliminary title report. Certain restrictions for the placement of Custom Lot improvement in these types of areas may be in effect. The owner or his/her design consultants should check with the seller (Sunrise) to determine this. 2. Each Custom Lot is served with underground electricity, TV cable, telephone, sewer, gas line, and water line. The location of these utilities should be confirmed in the field. 3. All utility company pull boxes, transformers, etc., will be or have been set within the easement in a manner that will accommodate future planting and grading to diminish their visual impact. They shall be leveled and graded around to provide positive drainage. B. APPROVED PAD ELEVATIONS 1. All lots have been graded to finish grade elevation that has been approved by the City of La Quinta and referred to as the "approved pad elevation". No additional fill material can be placed on the lot to raise the approved pad elevation and, therefore, the height of the house (the finished height of each house is measured from the approved pad elevation). However, selective areas within a house can be lowered or raised to create a more interesting plan. Pool and garden areas also can be sunken provide for privacy and design interest, but provisions for drainage must be addressed. Any is f loo: to C. D. E. alterations to approved pad elevation are subject to approval by the Architectural Committee and the City of La Quinta. BUILDING SETBACKS/BUILDING AREAS 1. Standard property setbacks are 20 feet front, 15 feet back, and ten feet sides. Corner lots have a 20 foot sideyard setback requirement on the street side (ten feet to a garden wall). Roof overhangs and "architectural appendages" may encroach into the setbacks subject to Architectural Committee approval. 2. No roofed or trellised structures separate from the building can be built in setback areas, i.e., gazebos. Any other free standing structure within any setback area not covered in the above standard will be reviewed on an individual basis. PATIO FLATWORK SETBACK 1. All patio slabs and flatwork should be a minimum of five feet from the rear property line. GARDEN WALL REQUIREMENTS Any lot owner who develops his property shall be responsible for erecting common property line garden walls in conformance with the Custom Lot Standards. The design intent of the garden walls is threefold: (1) the walls create privacy, (2) the walls frame the maximum panoramic view possible, and (3) the walls become an extension of the architecture creating outdoor spaces and integrating the landscape with the architecture. Garden walls are required on the side property lines of interior lots and setback ten feet from the street on corner lots. Sideyard garden walls of interior lots shall be centered on the property lines pursuant to Section 10.10 of the PGA WEST Residential CC&R's 1. CUSTOM LOT WALL REQUIREMENTS a. All walls require the approval of the Architectural Committee as to height, location, design, color, etc. b. Six foot walls are to be built on the side yard property lines by the first lot owner building a home. Wall height may step down to a minimum of three feet toward the rear property line to 19 3v. ly preserve views. C. All side yard property line walls and footings will be located on the property lines being developed. Top of footings must be placed below the lowest pad to either side of the wall and footings must not be visible above the finished pad grade. All walls will be terminated with a minimum 2'6" return. d. Side yard property line walls must extend, at a minimum, from the front of a house to the rear lot line. e. Height of the side yard walls is to be measured from the higher building pad elevation between two lots. Any elevation differential between pads will require construction of a retaining wall beneath the six foot,garden wall. f. A maximum three foot high wall will be allowed, but not required, on the rear property line. g. The person who builds the first wall on a property line must paint the opposite side of the wall a neutral color as approved by the Architectural Committee. h. All garden walls must be masonry (masonry block minimum six inched to eight inches thick) and appropriately finished to match or complement the house with plaster. i. A 36 inch planting strip must be placed between side yard walls and any adjacent hardscape visible from the golf course or street. j. Garden gates must be substantially constructed. Consideration should be given to heavy duty steel jambs and gate frames. SERVICE AREAS AND UTILITY ENTRANCE LOCATIONS 1. Service yards are intended primarily for storage of trash, firewood, maintenance tools, etc. pool, air conditioning, irrigation and other mechanical equipment also must be located in these areas or underground. Five foot high minimum masonry walls are required around service yards. 2. Electric meters and panels, gas meters, sub -panels, heating/a.c. systems, telephone and television entrance panels, etc., must be out of sight when viewed from the golf course, street or adjacent 20 G lots. They can be located in service yards or on the house, or preferably in mechanical rooms. 3. The interior of enclosed service yards must not be visible from the street, golf course or adjacent properties. RESIDENTIAL EXTERIORS 1. Exterior Elevations: a. The design element of a house shall be compatible with and complementary to each other and sympathetic to the desert environment. Exterior treatments shall be consistently detailed around the entire house. b. All materials used on the house exterior should be compatible with/and complementary to each other and to the overall design style, texture, color, and character. All materials should relate to or be complementary to the desert environment. C. the Architectural Committee encourages that whenever possible garage doors should not face the street, but rather be at right angles to the street. Where this is not possible, adequate landscaping should be provided to soften the garage and its doors as a design element. 2. Material/Colors: a. Due to climatic extremes, the use of wood on a residential exterior should be carefully considered. The use of wood on exterior walls as an accent element is encouraged because it adds "warmth" to any design, but it is a high maintenance item. The use of wood as the primary exterior material on a house is discouraged. b. Exterior building wall colors should harmonize with the desert environment and surrounding residences. No exterior materials shall have high gloss or glare finish. c. Exterior hardscape colors should be complementary to exterior house colors. 3. Roofs: a. Special attention should be given to the roof slopes which should be no more than 4 and 12 pitch. Upper roof ridge line shall be no longer 21 than 25 feet from the approved pad elevation. b. False mansards or other architectural elements not an intergral part of the design are not acceptable c.

Metal roofs, reflective tile, plain red roof tile, 'IS" the and wood shingles are not acceptable. d. Mechanical equipment shall not be visible on roof structure. e. Sheet metal work should be kept clean and simple with the minimum of exposed metal and generally should be painted to blend in with the surrounding materials. f. Roof terraces are not allowed. g. Extreme care should be taken in selecting a color for the material used on flat roofs. Color should blend with surrounding terrain. 4. Fascias: Consideration should be given to the fascia as an important design elements. 5. Chimneys: As fireplaces and chimneys are very dominant in an architectural design, they need to be proportionate to and consistently detailed with the overall architectural design. 6. Skylights: 7. D Skylights must be integrally designed into the structure and should not be obtrusive. Use of smoked or tinted glass is encouraged. Barbecues: The Committee encourages the design of barbecue units that are integral with the design of the house. Freestanding barbecue units should not be located within 15 feet of the rear lot line. Exterior Showers: 22 H. I. MAILBOXES Standard mailboxes on posts are not acceptable. Custom 23 Exterior shower enclosures or equipment should not be exposed to the golf course or adjacent property. Mechanical Equipment/Sheet Metal/Vents: Roof mounted mechanical equipment must not be visible and must not generate excessive noise levels. All sheet metal should be minimally exposed and must be painted to match adjacent materials. Plumbing vents should be ganged with a minimum number of vents exposed to view from the golf course and street. DESIGN FEATURES 1. Doors: a. Special consideration should be given to the entry door and hardware. The entry should be a very special design complementary to the architecture. b. Exterior doors should be consistent with each other. Similar jamb and head details should be used around the entire exterior of the house. Where vents are required for exterior mechanical room doors, full height louvered (preferable steel) on mechanical rooms should be used. C. Garage overhead doors should be handled with a great deal of sensitivity. They should be tastefully handled and complementary to the overall design of the house. Windows in garage doors are not acceptable 2. Exterior Trim and Detailing: Exterior trim and detailing shall be consistent around the entire house. Gingerbread, plant-ons, or false ornamentation will be acceptable. 3. Columns: Much thought should go into the detailing of columns. They should be constructed with substantial materials, proportionate to other design elements, complementary to the overall architectural design, and consistently detailed. Consideration should be given to planting pockets at their base for vine growth. J 0 3 designed mailboxes which relate to the architecture of the house are required. Mailbox design must be submitted for Architectural Committee approval at the Working Drawing stage. Care should be taken to design mailboxes that are as low as possible and integrated with the planting design. they should not compete with or be in conflict with the residential architecture. They should attempt to recede into the background. Please verify with local post office on the location and requirements. 24 III. LANDSCAPE STANDARDS GENERAL LANDSCAPING CONCEPTS A. Landscaping at PGA WEST emphasizes informal arrangements of landscape materials. Landscape architects should be sensitive to the overall concept of landscaping as is evident in the exterior parkways, association common properties and golf courses. Landscape must be compatible with existing/surrounding landscape in the area. B. The landscape plan should provide for a smooth transition of both finish grade and landscape materials with adjacent properties. C. Although the plan should be designed to complement the architectural character of the house, it must be sensitive to the immediately adjacent landscaping and provide continuity along the street and the golf course in the immediate neighborhood. It should incorporate landscape material that is existing or has been approved on adjacent property. D. The desert growing season is vigorous and long, so trees and shrubs can shoot up to unmanageable sizes within only a few years unless they are pruned regularly. PGA WEST's design theme is an informal landscape, and drastic pruning creates a formalized look. It is doubly important for owners and landscape designers to pay close attention to tree and shrub spacing, selection and orientation. E. Please discuss landscape maintenance with architectural committee prior to finalization of plans as we recommend that this be tied to our overall maintenance program. LANDSCAPE MATERIALS The Architectural Committee Encourages the use of plant material on PGA WEST's approved list. It discourages the use of plant material not included on the list. See attached Plant Palette. LANDSCAPE A. Grading and Drainage: Manipulation of the ground surface within the individual lots must consider drainage and the impact of berming both within the site as it meets the adjacent land aesthetically and functionally. f` 25 � LO l/ el I VVV � j W In general, the intent of carefully designed drainage of private lots is to keep the fairways and streets as dry as possible, and to put as much water back into the ground water system as possible. It also is a safeguard against interior lot flooding during storms. 1. Lots must drain by positive drainage as much as possible, with sump drains where necessary ( minimum six inches) connected to underground perforated pipes (minimum four inches), that flows to the streets and connects to designated and approved systems and discharge points. 2. Drywell (where necessary) shall be a minimum of four feet in diameter by eight feet deep and backfilled with a minimum of nine inches of gravel along its outside perimeter. All drywells shall have removable grates to allow for periodic cleaning. 3. Drywell grates shall be located at grade and preferably at a low spot on the lot. If overflow from drywalls cannot drain positively onto the street, overflow lines to bubblers are required. 4. All topgraphic change must occur within the lot property boundaries and meet adjacent land at grade. 5. It is recommended that all roof drainage which drains into planter areas be tied into a closed in downspout and drainage underground to curb face. Planting: 1. The planting scene should attempt to have as mature an effect as possible at the time of installation. 2. Plant composition should employ a variety of sizes of plants when planting rather than all one size. 3. To maintain sight lines, along street corridors, shrub heights along the street back to ten feet (five feet on corners) should not exceed three feet. 4. The Committee encourages the use of multi -trunk trees in more open areas of a yard and along the streets to add informality and soften the effect. Single Trunk trees are encouraged in placement along walls, and in narrow side yards so canopies can clear the structures and not restrict circulation. 5. Shrub selection should take into account the natural mature height of the species specified. Material that has to heavily pruned to maintained the desired V 26 _V .. C. height will no be accepted. 6. The Committee encourages the planting along the property boundary where the lots meet the golf courses, to curvilinear in form rather than to reinforce the actual property boundary. 7. All planting or sand will be allowed as a ground cover if it can be seen from the street, golf course or adjacent properties. 8. Shrubbery will be allowed to be used as a ground cover if it can be seen from the street, golf course, or adjacent properties. 9. Grass: In order that visual continuity between the lots and golf courses be maintained, the planting of grass species on the lots abutting the golf course will be the same as the grass specified for the fairway edges for both the winter and summer seasons. Permanent grass (i.e., bermuda) must be planted and overseeded in winter months. Swimming Pools and Spas: 1. Consideration should be given in the designing of the pool and/or spa areas to provide for privacy for both the lot owner, neighbors and golfers. 2. All pool drains must connect to the street. No pools can be drained onto golf course property. 3. Precast or molded pools and spas are not acceptable. D. Exterior Lighting: At night, exterior lighting is often the only way we perceive a landscape. It has the power of being a very strong design element as well as an element that can provide direction and safety. The Architectural Committee has developed concepts and a comprehensive plan for PGA WEST. It is intended to add another level of beauty, sophistication and integrity. overall principles for Custom Lot lighting will embody the following: 1. PGA WEST will not use conventional lighting poles to illuminate the street. Instead, PGA WEST will rely on indirect ambient light, reflected from the landscape planting along the street. The intent is to create a natural setting. The Custom Home owner 27 will be required to continue this concept along the street frontage of the lot. 2. To ensure the effect, the Committee will require that street frontage landscape lighting be connected to a timeclock or photo cell on the owner's property serviced by the owner's electrical panel or be tied into the H.O.A lighting system. See Architectual Committee for details. E. Specific Guidelines: 1. Above -grade flood lights for the lighting of trees and plantings shall be concealed as much as possible by shrubs to prevent daytime visibility. These fixtures where possible should not be in grass areas visible from the street, golf coursed or adjacent property. They shall be installed and shielded so as not to produce glare into neighboring properties, street, or golf course. 2. All outdoor fixtures to use incandescent lamps or low wattage fluorscent type fixtures. No colored lamps will be allowed, i.e., red, blue, amber. 3. Avoid excessive spill lights on buildings, garage doors, driveways, etc., to allow full quality effect of the landscape lights and beauty of the garden. 4. All exterior wall mount or ceiling mount "decorative" fixtures to be a high quality and in conformance with the house architecture. 5. The Committee recommends field testing of all fixture locations at night, prior to final installation. F. Other Site Elements: 1. Grass Pavers: The use of grass pavers will be limited to areas used by golf carts. No grass pavers will be allowed for automobile access to parking on Custom Lots. the Committee encourages the use of plastic turf cells instead of concrete turf blocks. 28 IV.
