Minutes
January 7, 2009
Assistant City Manager Douglas Evans presented the
information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on
file in the Planning Department.
Committee Member Rooker asked if said there were two ways
to access the building. Staff said yes and explained the reason
for the two accesses.
Committee Member Rooker asked about the number of water
features. Staff explained where the water features were and the
reason behind the choice for those features.
Committee Member Arnold had a question about over -seeding
and lawn maintenance. Mr. Yul Roe, Horton-Shepardson
Associates, 42-635 Melanie Place, Suite 101, Palm Desert CA
92211, introduced himself and explained over -seeding
procedures and maintenance of the property which would take
into consideration the CVWD water efficiency requirements.
Assistant City Manager Evans also commented on the
secondary parking lot and access to the Clubhouse building as
well as explaining the necessity of the use of the facilities for
events other than golf. He showed an exhibit of what the area
would look like if used for weddings or other event plans.
Committee Member Fitzpatrick asked if there was anything on
the roof. Staff responded there were solar panels.
Committee Member Fitzpatrick asked what type of amenities
were included in the clubhouse building. Staff outlined the
amenities planned for the clubhouse as shown on the exhibits.

Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee
Minutes
January 7, 2009
Committee Member Fitzpatrick had a question about
maintenance of the art pieces and the artist's involvement.
Staff explained the Federal Law which was applicable to the art
pieces, the need for maintenance/upkeep, and gave an example
of a current art piece located in the City.
Committee Member Rooker commented that this was one of the
most important projects the Committee would review due to
the investment to the City. He said he was disappointed in the
architectural venue the City chose. He said he liked Desert
Willows because it was very unique with high visual impact and
added it was important that everything be done very, very well
in order for the Silverrock Clubhouse project to be successful.
He said one of the things you can do to uplift visual impact is to
use color and commented that he did not like the color in the
earlier architectural rendering. He liked the exhibit with the
bright yellow color and it would be important that the building
retain that color.
Staff responded by saying the colors had already been decided
on by the Redevelopment Agency and Council, and added the
difference in the colors, from one exhibit to another, may be
due to copier quality.
Committee Member Rooker had some additional comments on
the landscaping which included, 1) the addition of palms in the
entry as they would emphasize and enhance the entry, 2) the
colors of the bouganvilla which should should be more capatible
with the purple hues of the surrounding landscape, 31 the
suggestion of several additional types of palms such as the
Traverler's palm, which resembles a giant Bird of Paradise. He
then shared some photos of various palms with staff and
members in attendance and pointed out the specific areas he
was commenting on.
Mr. Roe explained why the various elements of the landscaping
palette were chosen. He added the flora was chosen to include
a lush palette with a lot of layering and textures as well as
color. He said as you move away from the clubhouse you will
see more of a desert palette. They were very careful with the
variety of plants and the seasonal color palettes.

Minutes
January 7, 2009
Committee Member Rooker had photos of the type of
bouganvillas he thought should be planted there. He added no
oranges or yellows had been included in that color palette and
commented on the Palmilla project and their successful use of
color.
Committee Member Arnold had several questions about the
irrigation plans including what type of time clock, and valves
were being used. Mr. Roe, said they were using Weather Track
and incorporating all of the control system around the clubhouse
area with the golf course area so the golf course manager can
control the whole area. He added they would be using a very
sophisticated weather station.
Mr. Roe then commented on the radio control (remote control)
system. Committee Member Arnold said that was a very
valuable system as well as the fact he loved the project.
Committee Member Fitzpatrick said the project was very nice
and made a magnificent architectural statement. He
congratulated the City on a successful project.
Committee Member Rooker said he felt strongly about the
comments he made and recommended approval of the project
with his comments being taken into advisement.
Assistant City Manager Evans said his comments on the palms
will be taken into consideration and explained how the palette
was chosen. He added the City has to be very cautious about
choosing plants that are appropriate for the area due to cost
factors.
There being no further questions, it was moved and seconded
by Committee Members Fitzpatrick/Arnold to adopt Minute
Motion 2009-001, recommending approval of Silverrock
Clubhouse Final Landscape Plans, as recommended.
Unanimously approved.
B. Development Application Requirements a request of staff for
consideration of the Development Application Requirements in
preparation of the update of all Planning Department
applications.

Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee
Minutes
January 7, 2009
Planner Manager David Sawyer passed out a copy of the
current Site Development Permit application to use as a point of
reference then presented the information contained in the staff
report, a copy of which is on file in the Planning Department.
The Committee Members discussed the possible additional
items which could be included on the application and made the
following suggestions for addition in the application:
o Include conceptual landscape/irrigation plans.
o Include a neighborhood plan, not just a site plan, which
would include a traffic study. Staff suggested an aerial
might provide the necessary information.
o Include street elevations which would include the
adjacent projects or buildings.
o Include section drawings which show how buildings align
(height -wise) and includes courtyards, etc.
o Include colored landscape plans and how the landscape
relates to buildings.
o Possibly include building shadow -lines.
o Include request for 3-D model for presentation at
Committee/Commission/Council meetings.
o Include colored elevations.
o Require that all plans and documents be signed/stamped
by appropriate professional; i.e., landscape architect, etc.
o Include the actual Code Section stating professional
credential requirements for plan preparation.
Planning Director Johnson added a comment that staff would
be requiring more professional -looking plans, than previously
accepted, and that requirement could help alleviate some of the
Committee Members' concerns. He showed a previous plan
and what happens in the processing of projects and their
landscaping plans and gave some historical background on how
the landscape and final landscape plan review had evolved to
address the concerns of the Committee Members. He then
explained why the ALRC only gets a final version of the
landscaping plans and the problems involved with the timing of
CVWD reviews and the possibility of submission to the ALRC at
an earlier date to help alleviate some of those problems.

VII. COMMITTEE MEMBER ITEMS:
Committee Member Fitzpatrick thanked the City Council for the Bob
Hope Chrysler Classic passes.
Committee Member Fitzpatrick said he had some items to discuss with
the Planning Commission and asked when the Joint Meeting would be
held. Staff responded that the date had not yet been set, but would
get back to the Committee Members with the date and time at the
next meeting.
Committee Member Fitzpatrick asked about whether or not a
Chairman needed to be elected for this Committee. Planning Director
Johnson responded that this was a committee, not a commission, and
this was not a requirement. However, he added, if the Committee
Members felt the process of staff running the meeting was
cumbersome they could make a suggestion to change the process and
elect a Chairman. The Committee Members' agreed the current
process was fine and no Chairman was needed.
VIII. PLANNING STAFF ITEMS:
Planning Commission Update:
Planning Manager Sawyer said there were no updates because of the
light schedule at the end of 2008.
Planning Director Johnson suggested if the Committee Members' had
specific items, they wished to discuss at the Joint Meeting, they could
e-mail them to him. He then said the joint meeting may be scheduled
at the first Planning Commission meeting in March, but the Committee
Members would be informed well in advance of the meeting. He
stated they would need to discuss their suggestions as an agenda item
to obtain a group consensus since they would only be able to discuss
two to four items in the time allowed. He said the next meeting
agenda would include time dedicate to that discussion.
Ed Alderson, Chairman of the Planning Commission, thanked the
Committee Members for allowing him to sit in on the meeting as it
was very informative.

EAST: COMMERCIAL USES IN CITY OF INDIO
WEST: PARK, RETENTION BASIN AND CVWD WELL SITE
PURPOSE OF REVIEW:
The purpose of the Architectural and Landscape Review Committee's (ALRC) review of
the Final Landscape Plan is to verify that the submitted plan is consistent with the
project's approved Preliminary Landscape Plan and that it is in compliance with the
project's landscape related conditions of approval. The ALRC's review culminates in a
recommendation to the Planning Director who has responsibility for approval of the
Final Landscape Plans.
BACKGROUND:
The property at the southwest corner of Jefferson Street and Fred Waring Drive is
rectangular in shape with approximately 815 feet of frontage on Jefferson Street and
572 feet on Fred Waring Drive (Attachment 1). The project site is a 10.7 acre site for
which a 90,440 square foot multi -building shopping center has been approved by the
City Council. This Fresh & Easy building is one of the buildings in the center
I
PAReports - ALRC\2009\2-04-09\flp 2008-040 fresh & easy•doc
(Attachment 2). There are existing single family residences immediately to the south
with a retention basin, park and CVWD well site immediately to the west. To the north
across Fred Waring Drive is a large landscaped area and residences, with a shopping
center in Indio to the east across Jefferson Street.
Preliminary development plans for most of the buildings in the project, including this
Fresh & Easy store were reviewed by the Architectural and Landscape Review
Committee (ALRC) on February 6, 2008 and recommended for approval with
conditions. On April 8, 2008, the Planning Commission recommended to the City
Council approval of the project (Specific Plan 2002-062 Amendment #2 and Site
Development Permit (SDP) 2008-898), with the City Council approving the applications
on May 6, 2008.
Final landscaping plans for the center, excluding the areas immediately around Fresh &
Easy and CVS Pharmacy were approved for the master developer (Regency Marinita) on
October 7, 2008 by the Planning Director after review by the ALRC on October 1,
2008.
As a brief recap, the approved design of the center includes five one story buildings
with a Spanish -Mediterranean style highlighted by tower features extending above the
main roof height (Attachment 3). Fresh & Easy is located near the north property line
south of Fred Waring Drive. Planters are provided on the north, west and east sides of
the building. The south side of the building abuts retail shops.
The preliminary plant palette approved around this building as part of SDP 2008-898
consisted primarily of desert and other low water use plants with no turf proposed to be
used.
The SDP approval included the following project -specific landscape -related conditions of
approval:
57. The applicant shall comply with LQMC Sections 13.24.130 (Landscaping
Setbacks) & 13.24.140 (Landscaping Plans).
59. Landscape and irrigation plans for landscaped lots and setbacks, medians,
retention basins, and parks shall be signed and stamped by a licensed landscape
architect.
60. The final landscaping and irrigation plans shall be prepared by a licensed
landscape professional, be reviewed by the Architecture and Landscape Review
Committee and Public Works Director, and approved by the Planning Director
prior to issuance of the first building permit. An application for Final Landscape
Plan Check shall be submitted to the Planning Department for final landscape
plan review. Said plans shall include all landscaping associated with this project
and be in compliance with Chapter 8.13 (Water Efficient Landscaping) of the
Fil
P:\Reports - ALRC\2009\2-04-09\f1p 2008-040 fresh & easy.doc
Municipal Code. The landscape and irrigation plans shall be approved by the
Coachella Valley Water District and Riverside County Agriculture Commissioner
prior to submittal of the final plans to the Planning Department.
Final landscape plans for on -site planting shall be reviewed by the ALRC and
approved by the Planning Director prior to issuance of first building permit. Final
plans shall include all landscaping associated with this project.
NOTE: Plans are not approved for construction until signed by the Planning
Director.
PROPOSAL:
The applicants have prepared and submitted final irrigation and planting plans for the
planting immediately around the Fresh & Easy building (Attachment 4). The Landscape
Architect for Fresh & Easy also prepared the landscaping plans for the overall center.
ra,LI VII WM r,1c
Compliance with Approved Preliminary Landscape Plan
The proposed landscaping plans are in conformance with the approved conceptual
landscaping plans previously reviewed by the ALRC, Planning Commission and City
Council except for four Willow Acacias along the north side of the building which have
been replaced with four 5 gallon Red Bird of Paradise shrubs. This is due to the limited
width along that area. The Red Bird of Paradise is a desert shrub that will grow to
approximately 8' by 8' and fit in the area. Staff would recommend that 15 gallon
specimens be planted instead of the 5 gallon shrubs.
The trees and shrubs approved with the preliminary plan are included in the final plans.
The trees include a 36" box size canopy tree and 12' bth (brown trunk height) Pindo
Palms. Shrubs are shown at 5 gallons except for grass species at one gallon size.
Groundcovers are one gallon in size planted two to three feet on center depending on
its growth patterns (Attachment 3 — Sheet L-4). All of the plants proposed are used in
other areas of the shopping center.
Compliance with Approved Conditions of Approval
None of the Conditions of Approval required specific revisions to the landscaping
around Fresh & Easy. The submitted plans are exempt from Section 13.24.130 of the
LQMC because it is not adjacent to a public street, and therefore, no street side
landscape setback is required. The plans have been prepared and signed by a licensed
landscape architect as required by Section 13.24.140 of the LQMC.

P:\Reports - ALRC\2009\2-04-09\flp 2008-040 fresh & easy.doc
Compliance with Standard Code Requirements
The Final Landscape and Irrigation Plans have been reviewed by Staff and meet the
requirements of the City's Water Efficiency Ordinance and have been approved by both
the Coachella Valley Water District and the Riverside County Agricultural Commissioner
(as stamped on the submitted plan sheets).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Architectural and Landscape Review Committee adopt a minute
motion recommending to the Planning Director approval of Final Landscape Plan 2008-
040 for Site Development Permit 2007-898, subject to the following condition:
15 gallon (instead of 5 gallon) size Red Bird of Paradise shall be provided on the
north side of the building. The shrubs shall be allowed to grow to full size.

ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPE REVIEW COMMITTEE
DATE: FEBRUARY 4, 2009
CASE NO: SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 2006-874
GRAPHIC PANELS FOR KOMAR DESERT CENTER
APPLICANT: KOMAR INVESTMENTS, LLC
REQUEST: REVIEW OF GRAPHIC PANELS TO BE MOUNTED ON THE
WALLS OF BUILDINGS WITHIN THE KOMAR DESERT CENTER
LOCATION: SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 111 AT DEPOT DRIVE
BACKGROUND:
At its February 12, 2007 meeting, the Planning Commission approved the site design and
architecture for Site Development Permit (SDP) 2006-874 for the Komar Desert Center,
located south of Highway 111 at Depot Drive (Attachment 1). The graphic panels were
proposed by the applicant for decorative purposes and to fill in large blank spaces of the
buildings. At the time of approval, the applicant was conditioned to bring forward all graphic
panels to be reviewed by the Architecture and Landscape Review Committee and
approved by the Planning Commission (Attachment 2).
Komar Desert Center is comprised of multiple buildings (Attachment 3); tenants include
Bevmo! (Pad H), Souplantation (Pad J), Mimis Cafe (Pad G), Costco Wholesale and other
tenants within the multi -tenant buildings.
PROPOSAL:
Graphic panels are proposed for installation on the South elevation of Buildings A
(Attachment 3, 4, and 5) and South elevation of Building H (Attachment 3, 6, and 7). The
original concept included placing graphic panels also on the West building elevations of
Building E (Attachment 3, 8, and 9) and Building F (Attachment 3, 10, 11).
Each graphic panel will be indirectly illuminated with two gooseneck light fixtures
(Attachment 12) and measure 8'x8' (64 square feet). The graphic panels will be a stretched
vinyl material with the image of a desert plant digitally printed on the surface.
The images labeled B1-63 and B7-B9 (Attachment 13) are proposed for immediate
installation as shown in Attachment 14; the rest of the images will be used to replace the
graphic panels every two years or earlier if they appear faded or damaged.
ANALYSIS:
Building A and Building H
Three graphic panels will be mounted on each of the South building elevations of Building
A (facing the Costco Wholesale parking lot) and Building H (facing the Costco fuel station) .
One of Staff's primary concerns is the maintenance and replacement of the graphic panels
because the South elevations of both buildings will be exposed to the sun most of the day.
To date, there are no other shopping centers or locations within the City that include
anything similar to the applicant's proposal. According to the applicant, each graphic panel
should remain in good condition approximately two years.
Building E and Building F
The applicant is opting not to install any panels in these locations due to the limited space
and visibility. As previously noted, when the Site Development Permit was approved for the
project, the applicant was only conditioned to bring back the graphic panels to be reviewed
by the ALRC and approved by the Planning Commission; the specific locations were not a
part of the Condition of Approval but were included in the Site Development Permit staff
report.
Not including graphic panels on Building E and Building F would not have an impact on the
appearance of the building since the uninterrupted areas of the buildings are not similar to
the spaces of Building A and Building H. The West building elevation of Building E and
Building F also include large trees or shrubs to break up the wall. Furthermore, when the
buildings are fully leased, tenant identification signs will most likely be installed and the
close proximity of the tenant signs, landscaping, and panels will create "visual clutter".
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of a minute motion recommending to the Planning
Commission approval of the graphic panels for Site Development Permit 2006-874, with
the following recommendations:
1. The applicant shall contact the Planning Department if alternative images for the
graphic panels not included in the submittal are considered for installation. If both
parties cannot come to an agreement the alternative images shall be reviewed and
approved by the Architecture and Landscape Review Committee before installation.
2. Graphic panels shall be installed on the South building elevations of Building A and
Building H as shown on the exhibits and replaced every two years or earlier if they
become faded or damaged.
