Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee
October 1, 2003
2. Committee Member Cunningham asked about the driveways.
Mr. Lynch gave the width of the driveways and stated the
shortest distance from the curb to the garage would tie 16 feet.
He further stated the CC&R's disallow any parking in the
driveways or common drive courtyards. Committee Member
Cunningham asked if on -street parking was allowed. Mr. Lynch
stated there are streets that allow parking and some that do
not; they are however, over parked for the overall project. The
interior streets have, in most cases, parking on both sides.
There are instances where there are parking bays that are
parallel. Committee Member Cunningham expressed concern
about the width of the driveways/drive approach, bUt stated it
was a good project with good architecture.
3. Committee Member Thorns noted the main street had sidewalks
on both sides, but in the courtyards the sidewalk stops after the
first unit. Mr. Brown stated that was correct and there are
vertical curbs. Committee Member Thoms asked if the property
owner would be allowed to have a pool/spa. Mr. Lynch stated
yes, with review. The sideyards are really the yards with 12-15
feet. The project will have a clubhouse with amenities including
a large pool and spa.
4. Committee Member Thorns asked about the entrance gates and
perimeter wall if they would be the same design. Mr. Lynch
stated the wall is the same, but the entrances are different, but
both are gated and the sidewalk will undulate. Committee
Member Thorns stated the plant legend contains a pine and he
would recommend not using any pine trees as they are not
appropriate for the desert.
5. There being no further questions, it was moved and seconded
by Committee Members Cunningham/Thoms to adopt Minute
Motion 2003-039 recommending approval of Site Development
Permit 2003-766, as recommended by staff and amended as
follows:
a. Condition added: Pine trees shall be substituted with a
different variety tree.
Unanimously approved.

contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the
Community Development Department. Staff introduced Forrest
Haag who gave a presentation on the project.
2. Committee Member Cunningham stated it is well designed and
he has no comment.
3. Committee Member Thoms asked how the water conservation
requirements were mitigated for the golf course. Mr. Haag
stated CVWD holds them to the standards for conservation. It
is a careful balance between the water contract available and
the plant execution plan. Committee Member Thoms asked if
the roof tiles would be mudded. Mr. Haag stated yes.
Committee Member Thoms commended the applicant on the
project, but asked that the pine trees be removed. Mr. Haag
stated the Afghan Pine was used extensively at Rancho La
Quinta and can be successful if planted in the right place and
treated properly and they would like to use it here in appropriate
locations away from residences.
4. There being no further questions of the applicant, it Was moved
and seconded by Committee Members Thoms/Cunningham to
adopt Minute Motion 2003-041 recommending approval of Site

Sanchez and Michael Kareti, the applicant and architect for the
project, who gave a presentation on the project.
2. Committee Member Thorns stated he would like to see the
parking removed or reduced for the area in front of the large
building. The elevations are lost if cars are parked in front. Mr.
Michael Kareti, architect for the project, stated they could break
up the row of cars moving the handicap away from the
entrance. Committee Member Thorns asked that there be a
break between the handicap parking and the other parking
spaces. He further stated that in regard to the colors, he
would not want the vivid orange colors used. Mr. Kareti stated
the base colors are in the sand range.
3. Committee Member Cunningham stated he likes the project and
believes there is a lot of good in diversity. In this instance the
building masses are well done. He would ask that thiey not use
the wood, but rather light gauge steel for the trellis. On the
rock stone veneer he would suggest they use the stacked
stone. In regard to the color, he would suggest they put
together a color board that represents what the buildings will
look like for presentation to the Planning Commission.
4. There being no further questions of the applicant, it was moved
and seconded by Committee Members Cunningham/Thoms to
adopt Minute Motion 2003-042 recommending approval of Site

ARCHITECT: PREST VUKSIC ARCHITECTS
REQUEST: REVIEW OF ARCHITECTURAL PLANS FOR AN 11,300 S.F. 'TWO-STORY
OFFICE BUILDING IN THE LA QUINTA PROFESSIONAL PLAZA (PALM
DESERT NATIONAL BANK COMPLEX)
LOCATION: PARCELS 8, 9 & 10 OF PM 29889 - WEST SIDE CALEO BAY IN LAKE LA
QUINTA, ±300 FEET SOUTHEAST OF AVENUE 47
(SEE ATTACHED VICINITY MAP)
Please review the attached information for the November 5, 2003 ALRC: meeting.
This proposed building incorporates the general architectural theme set forth in the
approved La Quinta Professional Plaza Specific, and is consistent with the design of
other buildings previously approved for this complex. Due to the building's
configuration over three parcels, there are minor variations in exterior treatments and
architectural characteristics that provide a degree of variation within the project, while
maintaining the theme of the Specific Plan.
In regard to landscaping, the major landscape components have been installed with
Phase 1. There will be minor infill landscape improvements for planter and other areas
surrounding the building, and a landscape plan for those areas is provided. These
improvements are consistent with the approved landscaping concept as approved for
the Specific Plan, which was reviewed by the ALRC in 2001.
Staff recommends adoption of a minute motion accepting the plans for Site
Development Permit 2003-791 as proposed.
