Committee Member Thoms asked what was happening in the courtyard area behind the first unit in the building. Mr. Janosik stated it is an area they intend to use as a courtyard behind the first two units. Discussion followed regarding potential treatment of the area. 3. Committee Member Thorns stated he had a concern about the south elevation. The elevation appears to be plain in relation to the north elevation. Mr. Janosik stated there will be a six foot wall so only the top third of the building would be seen. 4. Committee Member Cunningham stated it is the "back of the house" and not much architectural treatment is given to this area. His concern is that the courtyard has no reason for anyone to go there. It is not a usable space and could create an undesirable element. It isn't integrated into the project. He would suggest leaving it landscaped but put a wrought iron fence screen the area. 5. Committee Member Thorns asked if the area would be accessible by a sidewalk. Mr. Janosik reviewed the circulation with the Committee. 6. Committee Member Cunningham asked that the south elevation have some architectural treatment added. 7. Committee Member Thorns asked that the corner contours in the retention basin be softened. Mr. Janosik stated the retention basin is already built and is shaped. 8. Committee Member Bobbitt asked if they were sure they wanted deciduous trees at the entrance. They will be void of foliage during the season. They look their best in the :summer time and will be a high maintenance issue. Mr. Janosik stated they have relayed this to the owner and they are trying to eliminate the elms. 9. Committee Member Cunningham asked that the westerly unit be encouraged to incorporate the courtyard into the use of the unit or become some type of common area. G:\WPDOCS\ALRC\3-3-04 WDAOC 004 2 Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee March 3, 2004 10. There being no further questions of the applicant, it was moved and seconded by Committee Members Cunningham/Thoms to adopt Minute Motion 2004-009 recommending approval of Village Use Permit 2004-022, as recommended by staff and amended: a. Condition added: The courtyard area, in the rear of the first unit, shall have a decorate wrought iron fence with gates around it and be reflected on the plans. b.

Condition added: The south elevation shall have architectural enhancement for the first two westerly units on the south elevation. d. The hardscape plan for the south elevation shall be revised to have a better sidewalk circulation. e. Canopy -type shade trees shall be incorporated in the courtyard. Unanimously approved. B.

Principal Planner Fred Baker presented the information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development Department. Staff introduced Michel Kareti, architect for the project who gave a presentation. 2. Committee Member Thoms asked if this corner could have a hardscape space to allow people to cut across the corner. The corner needs to be enhanced with access space. Mr. Kareti stated this was workable. He noted they will have landscape features in this area. 3. Committee Member Cunningham stated there is a lot of sidewalk adjacent to the curb. Washington Street has a large volume of traffic and there is more and more development happening at this intersection. It is creating a lot of people movement. If this area were opened up to pedestrian traffic it G:AWPDOCSVALRCA3-3-04 WD.doc� ���� �� 005 3 Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee March 3, 2004 would move people around more. Staff suggested the sidewalk be lined up with the sidewalk across the street. 4. Committee Member Cunningham complimented the applicant on the massing and colors used. He would suggest that the parapets and massing be treated correctly to not look "thin". 5. There being no further questions of the applicant, it was moved and seconded by Committee Members Thoms/Bobbitt to adopt Minute Motion 2004-010 recommending approval of Site Development Permit 2003-800, as recommended by staff and amended: a.

This proposal is to establish a Kohl's department store in the existing shell of the vacant WalMart building, in the 111 La Quinta Center at Adams Street and Highway 111. In general, Kohl's will occupy most of the existing 127 KSF building, and will enclose the existing garden center area to create separate retail space. The revised building elevations incorporate the general architectural theme set forth in the approved 111 Center Specific Plan, and shares similarities in design with other existing buildings in this complex, including colors. The most notable variation is the lack of shed roof and tile treatments that are employed in other areas of the center. The revisions are a marked improvement over the existing WalMart elevations. In regard to landscaping, the majority will consist of infill landscape improvements for planter and other areas surrounding the building, and a landscape plan for those areas is provided. These improvements are intended to address prior problems with the landscaping during WalMart's tenure at the site. Staff directed the Kohl's design team to provide tree species with better shade canopy characteristics and improve the planter islands' appearance, as well as provide landscaping along the front elevation. Staff recommends adoption of a minute motion accepting the plans 1'or Site Development Permit 2004-806, to include any changes by the ALRC. Transmitted by: Wallace Nesbit, Associate Planner Encl.
