ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPE REVIEW COMMITTEE
STAFF REPORT
DATE: APRIL 18, 2001
CASE NO.: SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 2001-696
APPLICANT: LUNDIN DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
ARCHITECT: COURTNEY + LEE ARCHITECTS, INC. AND MBH ARCHITECTS
ENGINEER: WARNER ENGINEERING
REQUEST: REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR 74,080 SQUARE FEET
OF COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS IN RANCHO CIELO SHOPPING
CENTER
LOCATION: NORTHWEST CORNER OF JEFFERSON STREET AND 50TH
AVENUE
BACKGROUND:
This project is a part of Specific plan 99-034, a shopping center approved by the City
Council on May 28, 1999. The center allows in excess of 100,000 square feet on
12.5 acres. This is the first review of development plans for the buildings in the
center, and includes an Albertsons/Sav-on and shop buildings on either side of the
Albertsons/Sav-on as a part of Phase I.
PROJECT PROPOSAL:
The applicants have submitted plans for the 57,560 square foot Albertsons/Sav-on
and the adjacent in line tenant buildings on either side. They have also submitted the
preliminary landscaping plans for the common areas of the site and around the
proposed buildings.
The Albertsons/Sav-on portion of the project is primarily a rectangular structure with
Mediterranean architectural accents on the facade and side elevations. The facade
uses gable end clay tiled towers over the supermarket entries, tied to rnansard tile
roofs with exposed wood rafters along most of the store front. This creates an
arcade across the front of the building. At the north end of the building visible to the
front and side is a hip roofed tower. Between this tower and the mansard roof on the
front is a wood trellis attached to the wall. Circular archways with pre -cast concrete
P:\STAN\sdp 2001-696 et al alrc rpt.wpd �!'� t� 006
bases or columns are incorporated along the facade of the building. A decorative
cornice treatment is provided at the top of the parapet and will extend around all
sides of the building.
The right or north side of the supermarket building will have a drive -through pharmacy
window with two lanes (one for drop-off and one for pick-up). Covering the pick-up
lane is a porte cochere designed to be architecturally similar to the towers over the
store entries. Pop -out arches and a wood trellis complete the treatment on this side
of the building. The south or left side of the supermarket building utilizes the pop -out
arches near the rear. The front half of this side will be covered by the adjacent in line
tenant building.
The rear of the supermarket has the cornice treatment scored plaster treatment at the
top and scored wainscot along the bottom. This scoring treatment is used on all
sides of the building.
The in line tenant buildings on either side of Albertsons/Sav-on are slightly different
lengths, but are architecturally identical. Approximately 40% of the facade and 50%
of the exterior side is provided with a tile mansard roof with exposed wood rafters.
The balance of the building side has a parapet wall with a decorative cornice
treatment. The facade creates an arcade over the store fronts. The rear and side
walls next to the supermarket are treated with score lines and a colored wainscot
with no cornice.
The exterior colors for the supermarket and in line tenant buildings are the same with
primarily beige and sand colored plaster walls, blue accents, white and gray bases
and columns, and a three color red/rust blend clay tile roof.
The applicant has submitted a preliminary landscaping including the perimeter along
5OT" Avenue and Jefferson Street and within the Phase I area. The plant pallette
includes low water and native type of trees, shrubs, and groundcovers. Most tree
sizes are 24" box size, except for palm trees. No lawn is proposed within the project.
Along Jefferson Street and 50Th Avenue a meandering sidewalk and mounding is
included. Mounding is provided with shrub planting on it in areas adjacent to most
parking areas. Three recessed retention basins are provided adjacent to Jefferson
Street, with the bottom proposed to be raked earth. Three tree wells are provided in
front of the market, with two small planters provided adjacent to the wood trellis. No
planters are provided in front of the in line tenant buildings, except for one at the
extreme west end of the westerly most building.
FINDINGS:
As required by Section 9.210.010 (Site Development Permits) of the Zoning
Ordinance, the Committee is required to review and comment on the following
findings:
P:\STAN\sdp 2001-696 et al alrc rpt.wpd ��� �� 0 07
1. Architectural Design- The architectural design of the project, including but not
limited to the architectural style, scale, building mass, materials, colors,
architectural details, roof style, and other architectural elements are compatible
with the surrounding development and with the quality of design (prevalent in
the city. The supermarket building is a well designed contemporary structure
with Mediterranean architectural accents on the facade and side: elevations
which uses a variety of materials and colors to create an attractive, balanced
project. The in line tenant buildings on either side of the supermarket lack
compatible architectural articulation on the sides that are not facing the front
parking area. Staff recommends in Condition #2 that the cornice treatment
match that used on the market with it provided on all sides not against the
market. Furthermore, the scoring and paint pattern shall match to the extent
possible that used on the market.
2. Landscape Design- Project landscaping, including but not limited to the
location, type, size, color, texture, and coverage of plant materials has been
designed so as to provide relief, complement buildings, visually emphasize
prominent design elements and vistas, screen undesirable views, provide a
harmonious transition between adjacent land uses and between development
and open space, provide an overall unifying influence, enhance the visual
continuity of the project, and complement the surrounding project area,
ensuring lower maintenance and water use. The landscaping has been
designed to be compatible with the surrounding area, complement the
proposed improvements and provide required shading of the parking area.
Planters for vines, shrubs and groundcover should be provided adjacent to the
front of the shop buildings to soften and enhance the project as recommended
in Condition #1.
Additionally, the plans only indicate limited use of groundcover or decomposed
granite in planter areas. Most of the perimeter areas (streets and rear of
project) do not indicate any other than raked earth. Condition #1 Recommends
that decomposed granite or comparable groundcover be provided in all planting
areas.
Without a detailed review of the grading plans, it is not possible to determine
whether the parking lot will be adequately screened by the use of mounding
with shrubs only. Condition #3 recommends that short masonry screen walls
be provided if it is determined that the screening as proposed is not adequate.
In conclusion, the findings needed to recommend approval of this request can be
made provided the recommended conditions of approval are imposed.

The property is located at the northeast corner of Camino Quintana and Calle Mazatlan
in the Santa Rosa Cove Country Club within the boundaries of Specific Plan 121-E and
Tract 14496-1 (i.e., 77-290 through 77-340 Camino Quintana). Tract 14496-1 (circa
1981) is a recorded map of 211 single family on approximately 45 acres to the south
of the hotel and resort casitas (Attachment 1). The development consists of attached
single story condominiums in multiple plan types, ranging in size from 1,389 square
feet (2 bedrooms/2 baths) to 2,286 square feet (3 bedrooms/3 baths), surrounded by
common open space areas. Existing houses were built in 1982 through 1986 and
have front -loaded two car garages and in some cases detached guest houses.
PROJECT PROPOSAL:
The project site is vacant. Two prototype house plans are proposed ranging in size
from 2,037 square feet to 2,353 square feet on lots ranging in width from 30 to 40
feet by 100 feet long. The plans are one-story, not exceeding 18' high, with each plan
having one distinct facade. Exterior building materials consist of plaster walls and
SR alrc sdp 2001-697-48 Greg (R4/5 - 4/10)
roofs topped with S-shaped concrete roof tile in 4:12 and 3.5:12 pitches. Color
schemes are in light shades of brown. An exterior material and color sample board of
each theme will be available at the meeting.
Each plan type offers a staggered facade and stucco arched entry, providing access
to either a private courtyard (Plan 1), or side entry front door (Plan 2). Plan 1 proposes
a facade using flat roofs for garage elements and gable roof beyond, while Plan 2
utilizes a shed roof design on approximately half of the building. Houses average 33
feet wide (inside living areas) and have an offset ridge line based on the changing roof
designs and house widths. Decorative stucco plant-ons encase rectangular and fan -
topped windows. Plan types are as follows:

RESPONSE: The design guidelines for this site require varied front building
elevations and roof heights consistent with the Spanish architecture used in
construction of the La Quinta Resort and Club. The proposed units comply with
these requirements in that the facades are varied through the use of different
roof designs and consistent in design character with other Santa Rosa Cove
condominiums that this project is proposed in. The Specific Plan Guidelines
define architectural themes, exterior color ranges and materials, and design
criteria to ensure compatibility within the master planned community with sub -
community units.

Village Use Permit 2001-007 was previously reviewed by the Architecture and
Landscaping Review Committee (ALRC) as part of the initial submittal earlier this year.
Because of the lack of detail on the landscaping plan, the ALRC required that the
applicant submit a final landscaping plan prior to issuance of grading permits for the
project. The attached landscaping plan has been submitted to meet that condition of
approval.

GAWPDOCS\ALRCSORptKSL. WPD
REQUEST:
The landscaping plan for the perimeter of the project, the KSL corporate office site and
the residential development are the only areas being considered in this approval. The
retail commercial areas and the parking lot at the northeastern corner of the site are
conditioned to require separate Village Use Permits at a later date, at which time
landscaping plans will also be considered.
FINDINGS:
The Committee is required to comment on the following findings:
Landscape Design - Project landscaping, including but not limited to the location, type,
size, color, texture, and coverage of plant materials has been designed so as to provide
relief, complement buildings, visually emphasize prominent design elements and vistas,
screen undesirable views, provide a harmonious transition between adjacent land uses
and between development and open space, provide an overall unifying influence,
enhance the visual continuity of the project, and complement the surrounding project
area, ensuring lower maintenance and water use.
The landscaping plan conforms to the Specific Plan landscaping palette. The plan
includes stands of date palms at project entries and corners, to recall the previous date
groves on the site, as well as two waterfalls within the central residential lake.
The size of plants have not been called out, however, and a condition of approval is
proposed which requires the following addition to the final plans:
Street/Parking Trees
Land Use Screen Trees
Unit Screen Trees
Historical/Date Palms
Historical/Cypress
Desert Accent Trees
Riparian Trees
Shrubs
Groundcover
Desertscape
Ocotillo
Vines

The plan also does not include the number of plants being proposed, by type. The
distribution on the plan, however, shows an adequate quantity of materials. A
condition of approval has been added which requires that the final landscaping plan
have at least as many trees as are shown on the plan submitted.
02C
G:\WPDOCS\ALRCStfRptKSL.WPD
The plan includes a number of other items, which are not under consideration,
including the location and number of signs and trash enclosures. These have or will be
considered under other approvals for Village Use Permits, master sign programs, etc.
The proposed use of chain link fencing is prohibited in the Zoning Ordinance.
Conditions of approval are included to exclude these items from this review.
In conclusion, the findings needed to approve this request can be made, with the
modifications discussed above.

MIKE/ANNIE FISHER
VILLAGE PARK ANIMAL HOSPITAL
REQUEST: RELIEF FROM DESIGN ELEMENT/CONDITION FOR BRICK CAP ON
BLOCK WALL UNDER THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CPIP)
LOCATION: VILLAGE PARK ANIMAL HOSPITAL (77-895 AVENIDA
MONTEZUMA)
The applicants submitted an application under the Commercial Property Improvement
Program (CPIP) to replace an existing chain link fence with a block wall. Their request
was considered and approved by the ALRC on November 1, 2000. Included within the
materials provided by the applicant and reviewed by the ALRC were renderings of the
proposed block wall with an indication that the wall would have a red brick or used
brick cap (Attachment 1).
The applicant completed his work and in March 2001 asked the La Quinta
Redevelopment Agency to process his final repayment under the CPIP. Staff
performed a field investigation to confirm that the work was complete, however, it
was noted that the brick cap was not in place. When advised of this, the applicant
stated that the interior garden walls of the subject property do not have the brick cap
so he matched those existing walls. Although staff has no objection to the deletion
of a brick cap on the wall, this matter is before the ALRC since it approved the original
application which included the brick cap.
On behalf of the applicant, the ALRC is being asked to reconsider its approval and, if
appropriate, approve by minute action the deletion of the requirement for a brick cap
on the wall. Alternatively, the ALRC could require the brick cap in which case, the
City will withhold payment of the final $5,000 payment to the applicant until the brick
cap is installed.
Mr. Fischer has been made aware of this meeting and has indicated that he or his wife
will be present at the April 18, 2001 ALRC meeting.
