G:AWPD0CSVARLCA3-13-02.wpd 1 Architectural & Landscape Review Committee Minutes March 13. 2002 2. Committee Member Thorns questioned the air conditioning ducts. Mr. Jim Cathcart explained the location of the ducts and work to be done. 3. Committee Member Bobbitt asked if the ducting were removed would the exposed stucco be repainted. Mr. Cathcart stated yes, but it is not part of the funding request. 4. Committee Member Bobbitt asked if there was any limit as to how many times an applicant can apply for the funding. Staff stated only once a year, but as many times as there are funds. 5. Committee Member Cunningham stated the duct work is the area of concern from the public view, but the replacement of the duct is not $2,6OO. The cost involved is the replacement of the entire system to replace the duct. The question is how far does the City want to go to get rid of the duct. In essence, the City is paying $2,682 to get rid of the duct eyesore. Mr. Cathcart explained the request was based on comments made by members of the City Council and Historical Society members. Discussion followed as regarding the request. 6. Committee Member Bobbitt stated it was border line as to whether or not the City should pay for this, but he has no problem with the request. 7. There being no discussion, it was moved and seconded by Committee Members Cunningham/Thoms to adopt Minute Motion 2002-009 approving Commercial Property Improvement Program request of La Quinta Palms Realty with a score of 81.

Committee Member Bobbitt asked staff what the height limit was for commercial buildings. Staff noted it was 36-feet. Committee Member Bobbitt asked about the coordination of the shared access. Mr. Chuck Cockrell, Project Manager, stated they worked with the City on the shared access. They have a left in, with right in and out only. Their concern is the truck deliveries for the commercial project at the corner and the traffic patterns. To resolve the issue they decided to have a stacking element for three cars. If this project is constructed before the commercial project an agreement will be made between the two to meet the conditions for the commercial project to reimburse them for the payments. Committee Member Bobbitt asked about the use of wood on some of the elements. Mr. Kraft stated they will be blocked as designed to be constructed to keep them from turning. Committee Member Bobbitt asked about the wood doors and the use of the date palm trees in a high traffic areas. He asked how the residents at Country Club of the Desert would be impacted by the height of the apartment buildings at the 40-feet. Mr. Kraft showed a site elevation. Committee Member Bobbitt stated his concern in light of the problems that were created with the height of the berm is the height of the buildings. 4. Committee Member Cunningham stated it is a situation of who is there first. This backs up to the Canal and with the parking it has a buffer, but you will never be able to hide it. 5. Staff noted a different material would be used on the carports and asked the Committee's opinion. Mr. Kraft gave a presentation on the material. 6. Committee Member Cunningham stated the material gives a lot of design freedom and are great. He likes the shade structures. Mr. Kraft stated that from a design standard it offers a lot more than the wood. Committee Member Cunningham stated he liked the architecture. A big issue with apartments is the maintenance over a period of years. In regard to the wood siding, he would prefer a painted metal. They will be using clay tiles instead of concrete which are better and richer. The white on the color board should be replaced on the stucco. He questioned whether or not the small tiles on the dome would pop off due to the earthquakes. He would recommend a different material. The windows are all setback giving a shadow line that will enhance the building. In regard to the carports, the fabric covers do look good, but a sand color should be used. In regard to the wood, whether or not you G:\WPDOCSWRLC\3-13-02.wpd 3 �v005 Architectural & Landscape Review Committee Minutes March 13, 2002 block them they will turn. Metal may be a consideration. He asked the location of the trash enclosures and that they be "bullet proof". 7. Committee Member Thorns asked what type of fencing would be used along the property line that backs up to the All American Canal. Mr. Kraft stated they would prefer to use the chainlink fence that is installed by CVWD and they would be asking them to put it on the property line, not where it is now. They hope to make it into a living fence. Committee Member Thorns asked about the area between the carports and fence on the west of south side, as they are difficult to landscape. The important item is to give attention to will be the fence. Plant material on the barrier itself. He asked for an explanation on the security wall on Avenue 52. Mr. Ronald Masanobu Izumita, Image Design, stated they have a requirement to provide a five foot high sound barrier wall. Committee Member Thorns stated he liked the site plan, architecture, and carports. He is concerned about the landscaping on Avenue 52. There is an exposed parking lot and he would like to see more screening for the car noses. Mr. Izumita stated it will be bermed with meandering sidewalks with a lot of ground cover. 8. Committee Member Bobbitt asked that the plant pallette be: similar to the adjacent shopping center. 9. Committee Member Thorns asked if the wall facing the north side will have plant material. Mr. Izumita stated there would be plant material on certain locations. Committee Member Thorns asked what "15-feet BTH" meant. Staff stated at means "brown trunk height". Committee Member Thorns asked that the Queen Palm not be used in an row situation. 10. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by Committee Member Cunningham/Bobbitt to adopt Minute Motion 2002-010 recommending approval of Site Development Permit 2001-730, subject to the conditions as submitted and amended: A. Landscaping along the perimeter, around the parking lot not to use plant material on the ground, but use vines on the wall or living fence. B.

The property is a two-story house that was built iin 1941, and has suffered from serious neglect and vandalism over the years. Ms. Abdelnour plans to convert the property to office space for her business and is endeavoring to restore the exterior to its original condition. She has submitted an application (Attachment 1) under the Commercial Property Improvement Program (CPIP) seeking funding assistance for exterior improvements. Proposed improvements include the renovation of all windows, repainting the exterior, repairing and replacing roof tiles with tiles that are of a similar style to the original tiles, and replacing exterior doors. Cost estimates range from $32,600 to $47,450; Ms. Abdelnour is seeking $15,000 in CPIP funding, and will be providing more than the required 10% match. Because this is an historic building, the project was brought before the Historic Preservation Commission on March 21, 2002. The Commission reviewed the proposed improvements, and passed Minute Motion 2002-077 approving the requested revisions to the building. A Funding Criteria worksheet is included as Attachment 2 to facilitate scoring of this project. If approved by the ALRC, the application will be reviewed by the appropriate City departments for identification of appropriate approvals/permits, if any. After receiving all appropriate City approvals, the Agency will enter into a loan program agreement with the applicant. The applicant has been made aware of this meeting and has indicated that she will be !.!" 008 present at the April 3, 2002 meeting.

Lori Abdelnour Allstate Insurance o 78150 Calle Tapi&p, 200 La Quinta, CA 92253 760.564.2443 March 7, 2002 Ms. Debbie Powell City of La Quinta Dear Debbie, ATTACHMENT 1 We have so many plans for the property at 51650 Avenida Bermudas in La Quinta. Our goal is to restore the property using and maintaining the original aspects of the building. I hope the following addresses the questions you had about my application. The house has steel windows with individual panes of glass with glazing. We plan to remove all the glazing, treat the steel, and replace each broken glass, pane by pane. We've already begun the process of removing the glazing that has been baked on, in some cases, up to 50 years. This is not an easy process but one that will keep the original look. There were ninety-one broken windows. We will move forward with this project in order to secure the building from further vandalism. We've elected to do some roof work prior to receiving approval from the committee because we needed to mitigate the water damage that worsens each day the property endures serious neglect. We placed the old tile back on as to preserve the style until we can find tiles that look the same. The tiles are not made anymore but we have fe)und several others that are very close to the originals. We're struggling with the doors. There are five doors. Two are original and three are almost makeshift. Over the years, various owners added areas and enclosed others with minimal skill and even less regard for original intent. We have torn out some shoddy drywall and plywood paneling to find some great wood beams and wood ceilings in a sunroom that had been used as living space. Eleven coats ofpaint (at least that's where I stopped chipping) adorn the wood. We'll probably paint with high gloss enamel, the same color as the house and make the space a sunroom again. The doors to this area will be chosen as we get the feel of the space. We want a solid wood door for the front but worry about the welcoming aspect of windowed entrances. It's one of those areas that challenge the transformation from home to business. We are tentatively entertaining a heavy wood and beveled pane glass door for the front. It is mostly wood with six to eight glass squares. It will have a heavy brass knocker for warmth. All hardware will be dated but new. There are a lot ofperiod types of hardware available that are nicely priced. The other doors will be wood with no windows. We are worried about the neighborhood and still stinging from the devastation of the interior. 019 R2853 As an informational piece, we have also arranged with T-Bo's owner, Ted Llwellyn, to share parking. We will make a break in our wall and create easy access to the properry. We'll have an agreement and plot plan available within a week or so. We sure appreciate the time you're applying to our request. Regards,, r Lori Abdelnour J 1-1 PROGRAM STEPS (CONT.) be based on the lowest bid amount(s). The applicant may choose any licensed contractor, but the funding award will be based on the lowest bid. If applicable, an architect or design professional will prepare construction drawings. The applicant will obtain three (3) contractor bids. All contractors must be licensed by the State and have a business license with the City of La Quinta. Bids need only be obtained up to the Program limits (i.e. $15.000). For example, if the improvement/construction costs are $100,000. the applicant does not need to gel three (3) bids for every component or for the total amount. However, if the applicant is seeking $15,000, then three (3) bids must be obtained totaling at least $16,500 ($15,000 plus 10% match of $1,500) for that component being funded by the Program. 8. The applicant will submit the construction bids and proof of contractor insurance to Agency staff. 9. The Agency and applicant will sign a Building Improvement Rebate Agreement (Rebate Agreement) outlining the work to be completed. No work shall commence (other than the initial design activities) until the applicant submits an executed Rebate Agreement and the applicant obtains all applicable building permits. 10. The applicant, or the contractor, will obtain all applicable building permits. 11. The applicant is responsible for project implementation. Construction must start within ninety (90) days from obtaining building permits and be completed within one (1) year after the execution of the Rebate Agreement. 12. The loan may be funded in three equal payments at the applicant's request. Payment of 33% of the total amount will be made when construction commences. Second payment of 33% of the total amount will occur when the project is 50% complete (the Rebate Agreement will describe this milestone). The third payment will be made upon project completion and verification of the items presented in #13 and #14 below. If the applicant does not choose the three equal payment plan, the payment will be made upon project completion and verification of the items presented in #13 and #14 below. 13. Upon completion, the applicant must submit photos of the finished project and proof of vendor payment and contractor lien releases. Agency staff will then visit the site to certify project completion within (15) days after receiving these materials from the applicant. 14. The applicant will receive the final progress payment upon verification of project completion. This will occur within fifteen (15) days after the site visit and certification of vendor payments and construction lien releases. For new construction, final progress payments will not be made until a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued by the City and the business is open to the public. 15. Successful applicants must comply with all local, State, and Federal laws, including payment of any prevailing wages as applicable and required by law.

Lori Abdelnour Allstate Insurance 78150 Calle Tampico, 200 La Quinta, CA 92253 760.564.2443 Fax 564.6848 Debbie Powell City of La Quinta Dear Debbie, Please accept the following as our humble and desperate request for funds available via the Commercial Property Improvement Program. The property is located at 51-650 Avenida Bermudas and could eventually become the poster child for the improvement program. It's a wonderful two story structure that has been horribly neglected and shamefully vandalized. The exterior windows and all the doors have been broken and the interior spray painted. The hardwood floors, wood staircase and many of the walls have been destroyed. We expect to spend between $32,000 and $40,000 immediately and then what ever it takes to move our offices to the property. My plan is to restore the property to it's original beauty with minimal retrofit. The home was built in 1941 and still has many facets of the past. We are even keeping the kitchen with it's great tile and fifties stove. My staff thinks I'm crazy but this project has become by passion and I plan to be finished by August. We really could use all financial assistance available. We've already spent the match funds to clear the overgrowth and board up the windows in hopes of stopping the vandalism. It also made it easier for contractors to see the building. Many of the people we asked for estimate have yet to produce and some refused all together. One vendor suggested that we simple submit photos and the city would probably hand deliver $15,000 in a sympathy card. It's comforting to know that if the construction business ever goes south that our locals could find work in comedy. I am currently in escrow and expect to close very soon. We have begun the renovation process as to assure a decent appraisal but will stop until we hear from you. Allstate Agent Gary Cooper, my tenant, is also seeking the $15,000 grant money to apply to the project. All of the estimates we've gathered exceed $30,000 and they don't even include the landscaping, air conditioning, flooring and interior work. We anxiously await your response and look forward to making the property one the city can be proud of. Thank Y , Lon ' to r -�� 013 R2853-1 &CONSTRU MON CO.

ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPE REVIEW COMMITTEE STAFF REPORT DATE: CASE NO.: APPLICANT: PROPERTY OWNER: APRIL 3, 2002 SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 2002-732 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PRESBYTERIAN HOMES CITY OF LA QUINTA ARCHITECT: MATALON ARCHITECTURE & PLANNING REQUEST: REVIEW OF ARCHITECTURAL AND LANDSCAPING PLANS FOR AN 81 UNIT SENIOR APARTMENT COMPLEX. LOCATION: SOUTHWEST CORNER OF AVENUE 47 AND AIDAMS STREET. BACKGROUND: Southern California Presbyterian homes is seeking approval of architecture and landscape plans for a proposed 81 unit senior apartment complex to be located at the; southwest corner of Avenue 47 and Adams Street. The site is designated as High Density Residential (HDR: 12-16 DU/ACRE) on the General Plan Land Use Map and is zoned High Density Residential (RH) on the Zoning Map. PROJECT PROPOSAL: The project proposal includes an 81 unit senior apartment complex with one: of the units being an on -site manager's unit. The project proposes to have a multi -purpose room, kitchen facilities, computer rooms, laundry facilities, equipment rooms, open space areas and parking. A total of nine buildings are proposed. The main building which includes the manager's unit and multi -purpose room is a twenty-four foot high, single story structure. It features a portico entry with a gable concrete tile roof supported by round columns. The remainder of the building includes a higher gabled concrete tile roof, clear dual glazed windows, metal trellises, trim, half dome dormers and decorative tile vents. A terrace is located on the west side of the building with a metal trellis above and concrete pavers on the ground floor. P:\MaNn\SC PH\SCPHALRC.wpd 1 Ji 019 The building is proposed to have a two tone desert color with a third color for the window and door trim which breaks up the building mass and accentuates the architecture of the structure. Being that it is the highest building on the site and is located adjacent to the cul- de-sac, accentuates it as the main building. The remaining eight buildings are separated into two, four -building "X" shaped clusters. Each building has 10 units and are similar to each other with exception of minor amenities such as a library, computer room, TV room, laundry facilities and mechanical equipment. These buildings are single story, seventeen foot high structures. They include gable roofs with two different tile colors, five different desert color tones for the exterior stucco. Tile vents, half round dormers, clear dual glazed windows, decorative moldings, metal louvers and shutters are also proposed. Each cluster includes an interior common courtyard with seating, concrete pavers and planters for outdoor use. The courtyards will have a metal trellis installed above the common area. Each of the units will have an enclosed patio with a three foot high wall to provide privacy. The eastern edge of the site adjacent to Adams Street is already landscaped with trees, shrubs and ground covers. Also, an existing six foot high stucco wall is located along this edge. The conceptual landscaping plan for the project proposes a wide variety of water efficient trees, vines, shrubs and ground covers. Trees include African Sumacs, California Peppers, Mesquite, Palo Verde, Citrus, Date Palms, Mediterranean Fan Palms, Mexican Fan Palms, among others. Vines and shrubs include Bougainvillea, Red Bird of Paradise, Desert Cassia, Deer Grass, Texas Ranger, Mexican Sage, and Yucca among others. Ground covers include purple and gold Lantana, star jasmine, gazania, seasonal flowers and Bermuda grass. A mix of Mediterranean and Mexican fan palms and Date Palms are proposed at the entrance to accentuate the project entry. Additional Mediterranean and Mexican fan palms are proposed at the cul-de-sac which would accentuate the front of the; manager's unit/multi-purpose building. An abundance of various trees, shrubs, vines and ground covers are proposed throughout the common areas, carports, retention areas, and project boundaries that will enhance the appearance of the project. Walkways with decomposed granite are proposed throughout the western and southern project boundaries. Exercise stations will be installed in the future to provide for active use by the residents. In addition a swimming pool will also be constructed in the future and will be located just southwest of the manager's unit. A wrought iron fence and gates are proposed along the front of the property. Additional wrought iron fencing and gates are proposed within the visitor parking area to limit access to visitors. P:\Martin\SCPHkSCPHALRC.wpd MANDATORY FINDINGS: Findings necessary to recommend approval of this request can be made with the implementation of Conditions of Approval as follows: Architectural Design. As designed and conditioned, the proposed building architecture does conform to the architecture of the surrounding area residences in the vicinity. The proposed design will lend itself to the surrounding environment by providing an attractive senior residential facility. The window and door openings are proportionate to the building and allow maximum light, and the dual glared windows and doors lend visual interest. The building has been designed with appropriate architectural variation and detailing to break up the elevations with the gable roofs, windows, patios, courtyards and entryway. 2. Landscape Design. The proposed project includes a variety of water efficient landscaping which is sufficient to soften the appearance of the buildings and provide visual interest. However, the extensive use of wrought iron fencing along the north side property lines is inconsistent with the landscape design found in the immediate surrounding area. Therefore, staff recommends in Condition No. 1 that the wrought iron fencing along the northern boundary be replaced with a more permanent and visually attractive wall such as the existing wall along the eastern boundary which consists of a stucco finish. The gates at the entrance can be wrought iron but should have more of a decorative design to accentuate the project entryway. RECOMMENDATION: Recommend to the Planning Commission approval of Site Development Permit 2002-732, subject to the following conditions: Prior to issuance of building permits, the site plan shall be redrawn to indicate that the fencing along the northern property line be changed from wrought iron to a more permanent and visually attractive material consisting of a stucco finish. Such fencing shall be designed to the satisfaction of the Community Development Department. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

G. SPANOS CONSTRUCTION, INC. LEWIS C. BISHOP REVIEW OF ARCHITECTURAL AND LANDSCAPING PLANS FOR A 120 ROOM, 1-3 STORY HOTEL. EAST SIDE OF WASHINGTON STREET, APPROXIMATELY 315 FEET NORTH OF AVENUE .48. SECO is requesting approval of the architecture and landscape plans for a proposed 120 room, 1-3 story hotel to be located on the east side of Washington Street approximately 315 feet north of Avenue 48. The site is designated as Mixed Regional Commercial (M/RC) on the General Plan Land Use Map and is zoned Regional Commercial (CR) on the; Zoning Map. However, the General Plan Update which was adopted by the City Council on March 20, 2002, redesignated this property to Community Commercial (CC). PROJECT PROPOSAL: The applicant is proposing to construct a 120 room, 1-3 story hotel with a meeting room, office space, recreational amenities including a swimming pool, two spas, a sports court, and an exercise room. The hotel is also proposed to have open space with landscaping and 132 parking spaces. The architectural elevations feature Tuscan style buildings consisting of stone veneer, stucco elements and a combination of pitched tile and flat roofs reminiscent of northern Italy. The facade of the main lobby building is proposed to be approximately 22 feet in height. It has a pitched tile gable roof supported by square shaped stone columns. Stucco walls extend to each side of the lobby area with flat roofs. A combination of these materials are included on all sides of the building. Windows and doors add interest by using square and rectangular shaped glass on all sides. P:\Martin\Marriott\ALRC-Marriott.wpd °.')la 046 In addition, metal canopies over smooth shaped columns are provided which present an architectural feature that breaks up the building mass. The buildings that encompass the rooms range from 22 feet to 36feet-3 inches in height. The 22 foot height restriction on the western boundary reduces the project's building mass along Washington Street. These buildings are also reduced in massing toward the rear of the property facing the Lake La Quinta development. The structures have a variety of the same features as the main lobby building. In addition, balconies are interspersed with projections and are offset to break up the massing of the structure. The balconies are proposed with metal railings and metal canopies overhead supported by smooth shaped columns. A combination of pitched tile gable and flat roofs are also interspersed throughout the buildings to help break up the massing. Desert colors will be used to accent the buildings consistent with the surrounding area. The conceptual landscape plan for the site proposes landscaping within the project site and along the northern frontage. The western frontage along Washington Street is currently landscaped with Date Palms, California Fan Palms, turf and a meandering walkway. A bus turn -out is currently located along the street frontage on the east side of Washington Street. The proposed landscape plan consists of a wide variety of trees including, Carob, Jacaranda, Mesquite, California Pepper, African Sumac, Bottle Tree, Queen and California palms among others. Shrubs include Japanese Boxwood, Weeping Bottlebrush, Natal Plum, Gardenia, Hibiscus, Lantana, Bird of Paradise, and Oleander including others. The proposed landscaping will provide visual relief, compliment the buildings and provide an overall design that is prevalent throughout the City. The front and rear areas of the lobby building are proposed to have decorative paving. Meandering walkways are proposed throughout the common areas which provide access to the swimming pool, spas and lobby building. MANDATORY FINDINGS: Findings necessary to recommend approval of this request can be made with the implementation of Conditions of Approval, as follows: Architectural Design. As designed and conditioned, the proposed building architecture does conform to the architecture standards for a hotel. The proposed design will lend itself to the surrounding environment by providing for an attractive hotel with amenities. The architectural features are proportionate to the building and allow maximum natural light. The windows and doors provide easy access and lend visual interest to the buildings. The buildings have been designed with appropriate architectural variation and detailing to break up the massing of the structures with offset projections, canopies, windows and doors. P:\Martin\MarriottVALRC-Marriott.wpd QJ6, 047 Landscape Design. The proposed project includes a variety of landscaping and meandering walkways which are sufficient to soften the appearance of the buildings and provide visual interest. A wide selection of plant species are proposed that would provide shade and ground cover that are prevalent throughout the City. RECOMMENDATION: Recommend to the Planning Commission approval of Site Development Permit 2002-733, subject to the following conditions: Prior to issuance of building permits, the landscape plan shall be amended to indicate the number, type, size and location of each plant species. Such plan shall be amended to meet the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

The building will house primarily medical offices. A second general office building site (Building B) of about 8,000 square feet is proposed, but no building is currently contemplated. Building A is oriented to the northeast corner of the parcel. The roof line incorporates an alternating flat parapet and mansard treatment, with rounded cornices at: the top of the main roof lines. The main building roof line is 20 feet high. Two hip roof elements extend the highest roof peak to 26 and 30 feet. The building architecture utilizes smooth texture plaster walls and columns, solar bronze glass with darkened aluminum moulding and rough sawn outriggers. Color tones for building surfaces are in shades of brown, used to accent outriggers, roof edges and other portions of the building elevation. No exterior light fixtures are shown, and no tile or other similar accents are evident. C:\Wrkgrp\A LRC\ALRCsdp731. wpd .!ju 067 Proposed on -site landscaping for the entire site consists of 24" box Acacia and Mesquite tree species with fan accent palms, placed primarily along Caleo Bay and the site interior. Desert shrubs and accents dominate the Caleo Bay and Washington Street parkway area, as well as the interior planter areas. All planting areas will be covered with Mojave Gold decomposed granite. No turfed areas are illustrated. Some mounding of the parkway setback areas is shown between 12 to 18 inches. Smooth, gray granite boulders will be incorporated, and clustered in some areas on a random basis. MANDATORY FINDINGS As required by Section 9.210.010 (Site Development Permit) of the Zoning Code, the Committee is required to review and comment on the following findings: 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 surrounding development and the quality of design prevalent in the City. Support: The proposed office building is architecturally compatible with existing commercial buildings in the area, through its architectural style and use of materials and colors. Building elevations provide interest by varying roof height and design, enhanced building appearance through use of columns, cornices, wainscot locations and horizontal banding. Roof elements, as proposed, can screen any mechanical equipment within the roof structure, as required by the Zoning Code. Building height is consistent with other existing and approved structures in the area. 2. Project landscaping, including but not limited to location, type, size, color, texture and coverage of plant materials, is designed so as to provide visual 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, and provide an overall unifying influence to enhance the visual continuity of the project. Support: Landscape improvements are designed and sized to provide visual appeal. Materials and general layout is consistent with surrounding as -built landscape improvements. Shrubs and trees are situated to embellish the building. The overall site landscaping utilizes various tree species around the parking areas and building pad to provide necessary shading. The parkway setback areas C:\Wrkgrp\ALRC\ALRCsdp731.wpd .It-Oo 068 should be designed to incorporate an integrated landscape concept for all parcels along Washington Street and Caleo Bay. The Zoning Code requires parkway and landscape setback design to incorporate berms for screening of parking areas, but does allow some incidental stormwater to be retained. The ultimate drainage solution to be employed will determine the volume of incidental storm water to be generated. Recommend to the Planning Commission approval of Site Development Permit 2002- 731, subject to the following conditions: 1. Final concept design for site landscaping in parkway areas shall take into consideration any existing approved landscape improvements of surrounding development. Prior to submittal of final landscaping plans for the site, the project landscape architect shall incorporate and/or transition parkway landscaping in consideration of any approved adjacent project sites to the satisfaction of the Community Development Department. 2. Mounding adjacent to streets shall be adequate in height and length to screen parked vehicles as per Zoning Code requirements, Chapter 9.150.

SOUTHWEST CORNER OF AVENUE 47 AND ADAMS STREET. Southern California Presbyterian homes is seeking approval of architecture and landscape plans for a proposed 81 unit senior apartment complex to be located at the southwest corner of Avenue 47 and Adams Street. The site is designated as High Density Residential (HDR: 12-16 DU/ACRE) on the General Plan Land Use Map and is zoned High Density Residential (RH) on the Zoning Map. PROJECT PROPOSAL: The project proposal includes an 81 unit senior apartment complex with one of the units being an on -site manager's unit. The project proposes to have a multi -purpose room, kitchen facilities, computer rooms, laundry facilities, equipment rooms, open space areas and parking. A total of nine buildings are proposed. The main building which includes the manager's unit and multi -purpose room is a twenty-four foot high, single story structure. It features a portico entry with a gable concrete tile roof supported by round columns. The remainder of the building includes a higher gabled concrete tile roof, clear dual glazed windows, metal trellises, trim, half dome dormers and decorative tile vents. A terrace is located on the west side of the building with a metal trellis above and concrete pavers on the ground floor. PAMa rUn\SC PH\SC PHALRC.wpd 070 The building is proposed to have a two tone desert color with a third color for the window and door trim which breaks up the building mass and accentuates the architecture of the structure. Being that it is the highest building on the site and is located adjacent to the cul- de-sac, accentuates it as the main building. The remaining eight buildings are separated into two, four -building "X" shaped clusters. Each building has 10 units and are similar to each other with exception of minor amenities such as a library, computer room, TV room, laundry facilities and mechanical equipment. These buildings are single story, seventeen foot high structures. They include gable roofs with two different tile colors, five different desert color tones for the exterior stucco. Tile vents, half round dormers, clear dual glazed windows, decorative moldings, metal louvers and shutters are also proposed. Each cluster includes an interior common courtyard with seating, concrete pavers and planters for outdoor use. The courtyards will have a metal trellis installed above the common area. Each of the units will have an enclosed patio with a three foot high wall to provide privacy. The eastern edge of the site adjacent to Adams Street is already landscaped with trees, shrubs and ground covers. Also, an existing six foot high stucco wall is located along this edge.
