Committee Member Thorns asked if the colors presented on the color board would be the exact colors used. Mr. Dimla stated yes. Committee Member Thorns stated he likes the colors as presented as it does offer variety. In regard to the landscaping, the trees on the east side need to be separated. Mr. Hinman suggested) a more vertical tree. 3. Committee Member Bobbitt questioned the height of the wall. Planning Manager Orci stated it would meet the City's Code. Committee Member Bobbitt stated if the wall was not sealed, water would leach through the wall. Mr. Hinman stated they would treat the wall to ensure no damage. 4. Committee Member Thorns asked the material of the wall. Mr. Dimla stated it would be a block wall covered with plaster. 5. Committee Member Bobbitt asked that any wood on the trellis not be wood but a different material such as a paralem. 6. Committee Member Cunningham stated the architecture is in line with what exists. His area of concern is the public view from Highway 111, which is the rear of the building. The effective use of the retaining wall and that it is set back from Highway 111, mitigates the impacts. Architecturally he asked if the windows were recessed. Mr. Dimla stated they are the recessed tiles. Committee Member Cunningham stated the inset tiles seem to be out of balance and should be balanced. He would also like: to see something added to the wall on the drive through side below the insets. Mr. Dimla stated it was an attempt to blend it with the building to the east. 7. Committee Member Thorns asked if a plant material would be on the vertical steel trellis. Mr. Hinman stated bougainvillea would be used. Staff stated the trellis over the ATM would not have any plants. 8. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by Committee Members Cunningham/Thoms to adopt Minute Motion 2003-007, approving Site Development Permit 2002-760, as amended: a. Realign the tile insets on the south elevation b. Consider a change in tree variety for the two trees on the east side of the building. Unanimously approved. G:\WPDOCS\ARLC\3-5-03.wpd 2 Architectural & Landscape Review Committee Minutes March 5, 2003 B. Site Development Permit 00 -761; a request of Kleine Building and Development, Inc. for review of architectural and landscaping plans for seven commercial buildings on a six acre site located on the north side of Highway 111, 310 feet west of Dune Palms Road. 1. Principal Planner Stan Sawa gave an overview of the project and introduced Bob Kleine, representing the project, who gave a presentation on the project. 2. Committee Member Cunningham stated he has no issue with the renderings. The south elevation of Buildings 1 and 2, being set back, and with the use of the stone and landscaping, it will soften the look of the hard building. Buildings 5 and 6 are similar to what is along Highway 111. The area with no windows needs some architectural relief in the center section, as well as the south elevation on Buildings 1 and 2. Mr. Kleine stated that on the north side of Buildings 5 and 6, they will be selling to an owner/occupant. They probably have single clients on the north building. Therefore, the architectural glazing will continue across the entire wall. Committee Member Cunningham stated that wherever there is a blank wall there needs to be enhanced landscaped, or some architectural detail added. 3. Committee Member Thorns questioned the use of the stone. It appears to be added for mitigation measure and is overdone. His biggest concern is that the roof line has no relief due to the single height of all the buildings. Mr. Kleine stated they will be using an artificial canters stone running across all the parapets of the buildings. This will allow some relief to the roof line. 4. Committee Member Cunningham stated the recessed arcade of ten feet gives relief to the front of the building. 5. Committee Member Thorns stated he questions the use of stone on these elevations. Mr. Kleine stated he wanted a similar but enhanced project to the buildings on Cook Street and Highway 111. Committee Member Thorns stated the more you add a residential approach to a commercial building it is not a good use of the material. To make each building different would be better. Mr. Kleine stated you tend to get a lot of maintenance problems along the lower portion of the building wall which is another reason for using the stone. G:\WPDOCS\ARLC\3-5-03.wpd 3 -'). 005 Architectural & Landscape Review Committee Minutes March 5, 2003 6. Committee Member Cunningham remarked how the use of stone on the Desert European Cars building is similar in appearance to the mountains. 7. Committee Member Bobbitt stated he likes the stone. He would prefer to see some relief on the roof line. On the landscaping, he asked what was on the exposed sides where there is a zero lot line. Mr. Kleine stated these were the loading and unloading areas and nothing was proposed. Planning Manager Oscar Orci explained the problem they had in designing the buildings to hide the loading areas. Mr. Kleine stated they will be following through with what was proposed for the Radio Active project to the east. 8. Committee Member Thorns asked if the roof lines could be raised in some areas to give some relief. Mr. Kleine stated they would raise the parapet walls rather than doing a hip roof. Discussion followed about the south elevations. 9. Committee Member Bobbitt asked if something could be done on Buildings 1 and 2, he would prefer it. 10. Committee Member Thorns stated more relief is needed in the roof line or elevation face itself for Buildings 1 and 2 facing Highway 1 1 1 . In addition, a consideration should be given to the use of the stone material should be taken. In the landscape plan, the California Fan Palm should be mixed with the Mexican Palm to blend with the Radio Active building. 11. Committee Member Cunningham stated that due to the 65 foot setback for Buildings 1 and 2 from Highway 111, and that the buildings are different sizes, and separated, he believes by adding any architectural changes to the building it will not benefit the building or project. 12. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by Committee Members Cunningham/Thoms to adopt Minute Motion 2003-008, approving Site Development Permit 2003-761, as amended: a. Consideration shall be given to the use of stone on the front elevations. b. The California Fan Palm should be mixed with the Mexican Palm to blend with the Radio Active building. Unanimously approved. • ..jiJ 006 O:\WPDOCS\ARLC\3-5-03.wpd 4 Architectural & Landscape Review Committee Minutes March 5, 2003 C. Site Development Permit 2002-755; a request of St. Francis of Assisi for review of landscaping plans for a parking lot for the property located at 47-225 Washington Street 1. Associate Planner Martin Magana gave an overview of the project and introduced Father Barker, Randy Purnel, and Vince Starace, who were available to answer questions on the project. 2. Committee Member Thorns asked if the intersection would be signalized. Staff stated it would be with turn pockets to make full turn movements. 3. Committee Member Cunningham stated that with the added development of the church and the perimeter landscaping, it brings the church back into a comprehensive development of the entire area. He likes the layout of the area now. 4. Committee Member Thoms asked who did the layout. Father Barker stated RBF Engineering started the process and now Warner Engineering is finishing it as they did the La Quinta Arts Foundation. 5. Committee Member Thorns complemented them on the layout and asked that there be some variation in the retention basin to reach a more natural look. That the parking lot include the Washingtonia Palms at one of the entrances, and they need to blend use of the different palm trees on both projects. 6. Committee Member Bobbitt stated he likes the use of the Oak trees and commended the applicant on the size of the islands as they are sizeable at 15 feet and will allow the plant material to thrive. 7. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by Committee Members Thoms/Bobbitt to adopt Minute Motion 2003-009, approving Site Development Permit 2002-755, as amended. a. The plant pallette shall include Washingtonia Robusta to complement the parking lot to south. b. The Evergreen Pear tree shall be changed to a different variety.

ONE STORY RESTAURANT BUILDING IN THE LA QUINTA PROFESSIONAL PLAZA (PALM DESERT NATIONAL BANK SITE) LOCATION: PARCEL 11 OF PM 29889 - EAST SIDE OF WASHINGTON STREET, ±300 FEET SOUTHEAST OF AVENUE 47 (SEE ATTACHED VICINITY MAP) Please review the attached information for the April 2, 2003 ALRC meeting. This proposed building incorporates the general architectural characteristics set forth in the approved La Quinta Professional Plaza Specific Plan (the architecture and landscape criteria of that plan are attached). There are minor variations in window treatments and accents, but they appear to complement the overall architectural theme of the Specific Plan. The architecture also serves to carry over elements of the Palm Desert National Bank building (stone ledger, rotunda roof elements), which is located at the northeast portion of the site. In regard to landscaping, there are two new tree wells proposed along the west end of the building site, along with planter areas along the west and east building elevations. There are also some landscaped parking islands that will be installed with the new parking along the west elevation. These areas are shown on the landscape plan, along with the common pallette listing. These improvements are consistent with the approved landscaping concept as approved for the Specific Plan, reviewed by the ALRC in 2001. Staff recommends adoption of a minute motion accepting the plans as proposed. Transmitted by: Wallace Nesbit, Associate Planner P:\Wally\Counterfiles\Cdrivetemp\ALRCsdp763.wpd . j, j n io L� V. DESIGN GUIDELINES" The Design Guidelines for the Specific Plan have been developed as a method of achieving a high quality, cohesive design character for the development of the La Quinta Professional Plaza in La Quinta. They provide specific design criteria for the development of the project, as well as encouraging creativity, imagination and a high level of harmony and consistency within the surrounding community. Adherence to the Design Guidelines will create a desirable asset to the community and enhance the project's overall value. These guidelines will govern the design quality of the project for application in the following ways: • To provide the City of La Quinta with the necessary assurance that the Specific Plan area will develop in accordance with the quality and character proposed; • To provide guidance to developers, builders, engineers, architects, landscape architects and other professionals in order to maintain the desired design quality; • To provide guidance to City staff, the Planning Commission and the City Council in the review of construction plans for the Specific Plan area. A. ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES The building design of the mixed use complex utilizes a contemporary interpretation of Early California Spanish Architecture. Utilizing smooth textured plaster, mission clay tile roofs, deep recessed overlays, simple (but bold) detailing, interspersed with natural stone to provide the development with a sense of character. The bank building sets the tone for the remainder of the development. The hexagonal element that raps around the corner should become a landmark for the development. The stone and tile tower at the south end of the building identifies the main entrance of the bank. The architecture proposed for the project is shown on Figure 20, Bank Building Elevations. The bank building floor plan is shown in Figure 21, and the roof plan in Figure 22. To promote the campus like nature ofthe developmentthe two-story buildings are clustered, with each building cluster's second story element linked with balconies. Many of the office buildings within the complex will be two-story and linked by covered walkways and connecting balconies. This will give continuity and ease ofmovement through the spaces, and give the office portion of the development its own identity. Figure 23 illustrates the architectural treatment of the conceptual office buildings. Mass & Scale • Varied proportions are encouraged. Elements in facades should be spaced at varying intervals to create a visual rhythm. • Each building will incorporate a continuity of mass, scale and architectural features. • Office square footage will be distributed among multiple buildings as to break up building mass. Roof Treatments • Appropriate use of flat, hip, shed, and pitched gable roof forms are encouraged while barns, l The temporary bank facility as previously delailed precludes Design Guidelines. ® o sass oc�nres April li4, toot -Page 13 _.._.,.._.......... ..i 012 and false roofs should be avoided. • Flat roofs may be used with a parapet alone, or in combination with other roof forms. • The use of variable ridge lines on a single structure is encouraged. • Roof pitch may vary between elements of a structure. • Mechanical equipment may be placed only on flat portions of roofs provided that they are screened from public view and that the screening is incorporated into building design. Architectural Features and Details • All mechanical equipment including fuse boxes, heating and cooling devices and satellite dishes shall be screened from public view. Screening devices shall utilize the same materials and colors as the main structure. • The use of curtain walls is not allowed. • Exterior walls should emphasize shadow relief using recesses, bays, and covered walkways. • Building entryways should be visually emphasized. • The use of false facade treatments should be avoided. • Shaded walkways will be provided for second story elements. • Conversion of first floor windows to exterior tenant entries is allowed subject to Staff approval of architectural details. Car Ports • Car ports should be designed to be architecturally compatible with the proposed building motif. Acceptable construction materials are steel, wood, concrete and plaster. Pre-engineered, lightweight steel structures should be avoided. Materials & Colors • The facade plays an integral role in building appearance and should use a continuous palette of similar materials and colors. • Restraint should be exercised in the number of materials and colors selected for a given structure. Accent colors should be limited to one or two per structure. • Acceptable construction materials are steel, wood, copper, stucco, concrete, plaster, ceramic tile, natural stone, aluminum and glass. • Muted colors are encouraged for large areas such as walls while brighter colors may be used for accents. (Examples of muted colors include off whites, pastels, browns, ochres, and rusts.) • Architectural details should be painted to match the facade. SIGN This sign program is conceptual only. A detailed sign program will be submitted. and approved before issuance of the first building permit. The purpose of this criteria is to establish sign standards necessary to insure coordinatedproportional exposure for all tenants while maintaining integrated compatibility with theprojects architectural design. A detailed sign program for the Specific Plan area will be submittedprior to occupancy permits for any permit for any permanent building. Monument Signs • Signs will be designed with appropriate scale and proportion and should relate visually to April ts, zoot - Page 14 013 � c } ( } a Q \RSSSSSSSSSRS33S3S33 g \ .) !6 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ S !_ \ : / / / / ( w \ »yRy ER\ \( G/f§ =y :y& § 2 j \ /($0 ()j \§ (\)j /§ [// \ \ /SS S A 9 S Q AS } j' g � c C. LIGHTING GUIDELINES Exteriorlighting, when used, should enhance thebuilding design andthe adjoining landscape. • Lighting standards and building fixtures should be of a design and size compatible with the building and adjacent areas. • Lighting shall be restrained in design and excessive brightness (night glow) avoided. • Standard design techniques will be employed to shield parking light fixtures from adjacent land uses and control direct glare and spill light emanating from these fixtures. • Parking lot lightpoles will be equipped with a recessed lamp and a flush lense and not exceed a maximum height of 20 feet throughout the site. Additionally, parking light poles adjacent to Caleo Bay are not to exceed a maximum height of 18 feet, as to further reduce any spill light onto the street. • The average foot candles for the bank area will be 1.9, where as the remainder of the site should fall below an average of 1.7 foot candles. D. LANDSCAPE GUIDELINES Entryways • Areas which serve as a focus of vehicular traffic, such as project entries, should be accented by the use of colorful shrubs and groundcovers for enhanced visual interest. • Project entries should utilize vertical accents such as palm trees to provide a sense of arrival to the facility. • Plant materials at project entries should be located so as to avoid interfering with motorist sight lines. Buildings • Primary building entries should be accented by the use of colorful shrubs and groundcovers for enhanced visual interest. • Landscaping should be used to soften long stretches of blank wall surface. • Landscape materials shall be selected with colors and textures which enhance architectural elements. Streetscapes • Streetscapes should incorporate informal masses of trees and shrubs. • Streetscapes fronting the project should maintain a plant palette and design concept which is compatible with surrounding finished street frontages.

General Guidelines • Groundcovers should be used to enhance the appearance of the project and protect soil from erosion. Acceptable groundcover includes gravels, rocks or living plant materials. Tree bark and shredded wood products, which are lightweight and subject to wind and water erosion, are prohibited. swssomwres April 18, 2001 - Panel C; V • Water efficient landscape materials, including native plants, with drip irrigation should be used wherever possible as a means of conserving scarce water resources and minimizing maintenance costs. • Landscaping should be designed to screen above ground utility equipment, service areas and trash containers. Homogenous, visually subtle plant materials should be selectedfor use in these areas in order not to focus attention on the objectionable items. VI. OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES A.
