REQUEST: CONSIDERATION TO RESCIND CONDITION OF APPROVAL #6 OF THE ORIGINAL SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AND TO PERMIT THE SALE OF BEER AND WINE AT THE EXISTING WALGREENS LOCATION: NORTHEAST CORNER OF WASHINGTON STREET AND AVENUE 48 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION: THE LA QUINTA PLANNING DEPARTMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT THIS SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT HAS BEEN ASSESSED AS PART OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT (EA 2002-460), AND CERTIFIED BY THE LA QUINTA PLANNING COMMISSION ON JANUARY 28, 2003. THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT NO NEW ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)IS NECESSARY GENERAL PLAN CC (COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL) DESIGNATION: ZONING: CC (COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL) SURROUNDING ZONING/LAND USE: NORTH: COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL - VACANT SOUTH: LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL - RANCHO LA QUINTA EAST: LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL - LAKE LA QUINTA WEST: LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL - VACANT/LAING LUXURY HOMES SITE BACKGROUND: 1 On January 28, 2003, the Planning Commission certified Environmental Assessment 2002-460 (Mitigated Negative Declaration) and approved Site Development Permit 2002-753, for the development of a 14,560 square foot drug store and retail shops at the northeast corner of Avenue 48 and Washington Street. During the public hearing, the Planning Commission received several concerns about the proposed project from Rancho La Quinta residents, including lighting, traffic, incompatible use, and the potential for increased crime. Per the residents' request, the Planning Commission agreed to a number of project changes, including a condition prohibiting alcohol sales at this location. Subsequently, the Planning Commission's approval was appealed by the Rancho La Quinta Homeowners Association and was considered by the City Council at its April 1, 2003, meeting. The City Council's consideration of the appeal resulted in a tie vote. Therefore, no decision' on the appeal was reached and the Planning Commission's decision remained the final determination. On July 26, 2011, the Planning Commission considered an amendment to the Site Development Permit to permit the on -site sale of alcoholic beverages. At that meeting, the commission received a letter from the Rancho La Quinta Homeowners Association requesting that the application be continued for 60 days in order to allow their Board of Directors a chance to review the proposal (Attachment 1). The Planning Commission continued the hearing to the September 27, 2011, meeting. SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AMENDMENT PROPOSAL: The applicant has requested the elimination of Condition of Approval #6 of the original Site Development Permit. Condition #6 states that, "There shall be no storage or sale of alcoholic beverages on the premise." The applicant requests that the Planning Commission rescind this condition to allow for on -site beer and wine sales at this particular Walgreens location. ANALYSIS: During the application process in 2003, the Planning Commission and City Council received comments from the Rancho La Quinta Homeowners Association regarding the proposed development. Most comments were in regards to the center's design, ingress and egress from the site, lighting impacts, and whether or not Walgreens was the right fit for a commercial center located so close to the up -scale residential community. The Planning Commission minutes from January 28, 2003 provide context for the comments made during the public hearing. Although Condition of Approval #6 prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages at the site, no discussion is contained in the meeting minutes or original staff report specific to the establishment of this condition. 2 The zoning designation in which the Walgreens is located in is "Community Commercial" or "CC". Section 9.80.040 "Table of Permitted Uses" of the La Quinta Municipal Code provides a list of permitted, conditionally permitted, and prohibited land -uses for each commercial zoning district in the City. Walgreens is an approximately 14,400 square foot retail building with a pharmacy, photo center, and beauty and health products. Under the Community Commercial zoning district retail stores greater than 10,000 square feet in size require approval of a conditional use permit; however, at the time of original entitlement, in 2003, the requirement for a conditional use permit was not in place. Since there is no conditional use permit, the applicant must amend the site development permit to permit alcohol sales at the site. No changes to the site development permit, including the request to permit alcohol sales, would require the applicant to apply for a conditional use permit. Alcohol sales are typical for this type of retail use and are permitted under the current zoning designation. Sales of alcoholic beverages in the State of California are regulated by local land - use commissions and the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). Should the applicant's request be granted and alcoholic beverage sales allowed the applicant would be responsible for obtaining all permits through the ABC for sale of alcoholic beverages at the site. ABC permits often place additional conditions on permittees for the sale of such beverages; and permits are not typically issued by the ABC if the sales of alcohol occur in close proximity to sensitive land -uses, such as schools and parks. In addition, the ABC regularly monitors and enforces permit conditions on permittees. If a permittee is found to be in violation of an ABC permit the ABC typically fines the permittee, revokes their permit for alcoholic beverage sales, or both. In review of this request the Police Department recommended that alcoholic beverage display be limited to high visibility areas, typically near the store entrance, and that in-store closed-circuit video cameras monitor the display area. It is the Police Department's opinion that these two precautions can significantly deter crime should the sale of alcoholic beverages be permitted. FINDINGS: The following findings can be made in support of Site Development Permit 2002- 753, Amendment 1: A. Site Development Permit 2002-753, Amendment 1, as recommended, will require the applicant to obtain all necessary permits from the California Alcoholic Beverage Control for the on -site sales of alcoholic beverages. B. Site Development Permit 2002-753, Amendment 1, as recommended, is harmonious with and visually related to surrounding developments, as it will not adversely affect surrounding land uses as the sale of alcoholic beverage is contained in the interior of the existing building. 3 C. Site Development Permit 2002-753, Amendment 1, as recommended, is consistent with the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance in that the sale of alcoholic beverages is a retail sales service allowed in the Community Commercial General Plan and Zoning designations. PUBLIC COMMENTS: This project was advertised in the Desert Sun newspaper on July 10, 2011, mailed to all property owners within 500-feet of the site, including the Master Association for Rancho La Quinta, the Laguna De La Paz Homeowners Association, and the Lake La Quinta Homeowners Association, and posted on City Public Hearing information boards. At the time of the filing of this report, staff has received one letter from a Rancho La Quinta resident, asking the Planning Commission to deny the Site Development Permit Amendment, due to crime concerns (Attachment 2).

O. Box 1504 78-495 Calle Tampico La Quinta, CA 92247-1504 Gentlemen, It has been brought to the attention of the Board of Directors of the Rancho La Quinta Master Association that Walgreen's, (48 h and Washington Ave.) is attempting to amend/rescind their "Conditional Approval #6" of the original site development permit; their intent as we read the "Notice of Public Hearing", is that they want to engage in the storage and sales of beer and wine. One of the reasons for the "Condition #6" was the strong opposition by the residents of this community and others in the immediate area to the sale of any alcoholic beverages along with other conditions. This notice now comes at a time when the majority of all surrounding residents are away either for the summer months or at least for the months of July and August. We respectively request a continuance of this Hearing for a minimum of sixty (60) days so that one, the Board of Directors has the chance to communicate this endeavor to its residents and two, give those residents and the Board of Directors time to write their letters to the City individually and or appear at the Hearing. Any supportive dialog you can offer on behalf of the residents of Rancho La Quinta would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance for your consideration.

We live in Rancho La Quinta Country on 78-665 Descanso Lane, directly across Avenue 48 from.Walgreens. Walgreens was given their site development permit in April, 2003, provided they agreed to the following conditions: 1. No sales of wine, beer and liquors on the premises. 2. Limit their store hours. 3. Locate their building pad awayfrotm the corner intersection: 4. Provide an abundance of landscaping on Avenue 48. The City Counsel conditioned Walgreens with these requirements eight year, ago because of the concerns the surrounding neighbors had for crime, lighting and noise.

The new building will contain all of the necessary components of an animal hospital, including a sound -proof boarding facility, diagnostic equipment, a veterinary pharmacy, grooming services, and a pet rehabilitation center. Due. to the angled orientation of the property line at the corner of Eisenhower Drive and Avenida Montezuma, the applicant has submitted a concurrent request for a right-of-way vacation of 535 square feet, which would enlarge a small portion of the existing property. In addition, the applicant is unable to accommodate the required on -site parking for a veterinary office and has concurrently applied for a Development Agreement in order to provide in -lieu compensation for a parking shortage of 13 spaces. Site Design Building Location and Orientation The building is located on the northwest side of the La Quinta Community Park, bounded on three sides by city streets, with the parking lot situated on the northeast side of the building (Attachment 2). The main entrance to the building will face northeast towards the parking lot with a side portico facing Avenida . Martinez. Secondary entrances to the building are located on the southeast side, including an exterior stairwell primarily used as a fire exit leading to the second story and a first -floor side door for quarantined pets. A portion of the outer corner of the building at the corner of Eisenhower and Montezuma will have decorative wrought iron fencing for the use of a narrow dog walk for pets. Vehicular Circulation and Parking Vehicles will enter the parking lot for the site via either Avenida Montezuma or Avenida Martinez (Attachment 3, Page 1). Each street will have access to a one- way driving aisle passing through the parking lot and exiting on the opposite side. The project requires 29 parking spaces under the parking ordinance, but provides 14 on -site parking spaces and one golf -cart parking space. Although the project has a shortage of 13 parking spaces under the code, alternative parking arrangements are permitted in the Village Commercial zoning district, off -site VUP 08-042 Planning Commission Staff Report 9/27/11 Page 2 of 7 PAReports - PC\201 1\9-27-1 1\VUP 08-042 Village Animal Hospital\Stf Rpt VUP 08-042.doc parking is available, and the terms of a special parking arrangement are currently being drafted. A Development Agreement addressing the parking arrangement for the veterinary office will be reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by the City Council, and will not affect the design of the site plan as proposed. Pedestrian Access and Circulation The proposed animal hospital will have sidewalks placed adjacent to the street on all three sides of the building with crosswalk access to the park and the cove neighborhood across Eisenhower Drive (Attachment 3, Page 1). ADA parking will be located across from the front entrance with a corresponding path of travel. Sidewalks at the front entry and all cross -walks intersecting the proposed parking lot driveways will be paved with decorative brick pavers. Existing sidewalks along Eisenhower Drive will remain as -is. j Architecture The applicant is proposing to construct an 8,752 square foot, 31 foot high, two- story structure (Attachment 3, Pages 4-7). The white stucco building has been designed with a combination of traditional and Mission -Contemporary style architectural elements. Building materials will include a traditional three -tone clay tile roof supported by treated and stained wooden beams, textured glass blocks, and decorative wrought -iron fencing and railings (Attachment 4). The balcony at the northeastern corner of the building', will feature a decorative metal screening material patterned with a silhouette of the surrounding mountains underneath a stained and treated wooden trellis. All windows on the building will consist of insulated and tinted glass with black aluminum framing. Most windows on the building will be covered by a tiled roof awning or otherwise located underneath building eaves to reduce solar exposure. Glass blocks will also be incorporated into the building architecture, primarily to permit light into the kennel areas while providing insulation for sound. The building incorporates tiered massing to reduce the visual impact from being situated close the adjacent streets, with, the second story generally set a few feet further back from the first story. Massing is further broken up by the addition of the balcony, the covered entryway, an exterior stairwell on the southeastern elevation, reveals (stucco "pop -outs" and crevasses), and a narrow roofline above a portion of the first story adjacent to Eisenhower Drive. The second story is topped with three -tone clay -tile hip roofing on 'the southwest half of the building and a parapet along the northeast portion. Mechanical equipment will be fully screened from view within a 5 foot 7 inch deep utility recess on the roof. A photograph of the materials board is attached for your reference as Attachment 4; the board will also be available for review at the time of the public hearing. VUP 08-042 Planning Commission Staff Report 9/27/11 Page 3 of 7 P:\Reports - PC\201 1\9-27-1 1\VUP 08-042 Village Animal Hospital\Stf Rpt VUP 08-042.doc Landscaping The applicant is proposing a simple desert landscaping design that enhances the existing streetscape with water -efficient shrubs and decorative boulders (Attachment 3, last page (L-11). The existing palm trees that ring the park and a portion of landscaping already in place along Eisenhower will remain. A portion of the building fagade oriented towards the parking lot will contain a large grid trellis planted with Bougainvillea. Synthetic turf is proposed within the dog walk area behind the fencing at the corner of Eisenhower Drive and Avenida Montezuma. Proposed live oak trees and fruitless olive trees will provide shading within the parking area and compliment the existing palm trees. A small conceptual re- circulating water fountain is identified at the building entrance underneath the entry foyer, but is currently being reconsidered for removal or redesign by the applicant. Lighting The applicant has provided a conceptual lighting plan for the proposed parking area consisting of three, 20 foot high, black "shoe -box" type lighting fixtures with shielding containing metal halide bulbs (Attachment 3, second to last page). No parking lot or security lighting fixtures are proposed on the building. Sustainability Although the applicant is not proposing any specific elements of environmental sustainability or energy efficiency, the building has been designed mindful of solar exposure and water usage and will comply with the current energy code, Title 24. All window glazing will be insulated and incorporate solar tinting. The proposed landscaping plan is water -efficient and the conceptual water feature at the entrance will utilize only a few gallons of re -circulating water. Even with the water feature included in the water use calculations, the project is expected to be well below the annual water allowance. ANALYSIS: The proposed animal hospital is consistent with the style of architecture in the Village District, complies with the Village Design Guidelines and, with the exception of parking, meets all of the development code provisions. As parking variations are permitted in the Village Commercial zoning district, staff has negotiated an in -lieu fee alternative through a Development Agreement. This item will be brought forward at a later date together with the proposed 535 square foot Right -of -Way Vacation to accommodate the corner of the building. Staff has found the overall style and layout of the proposed project, including the landscaping design, the level and quality of lighting within the parking area, pedestrian connectivity, architectural design, building scale and massing, and project layout to be acceptable and amenable to the VUP 08-042 Planning Commission Staff Report 9/27/11 Page 4 of 7 P:\Reports - PC\201 1 \9-27-1 1 \VUP 08-042 Village Animal Hospital\Stf Rpt VUP 08-042.doc character of the Village area. The Mission -Contemporary style building is pedestrian oriented and incorporates a variety of architectural elements, including graduated heights, two balconies, recessed and extended building sections, and staggered setbacks. The project is similar in style and orientation to recent Village projects such as the La Quinta Museum, and includes architectural elements reflective of the current Village Animal Hospital, one of the original Village buildings whose architecture influenced the current Village Design Guidelines. As the project is well designed and complies with all of the necessary code provisions, staff believes the proposed veterinary office will make a positive contribution to the Village. ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPE REVIEW COMMITTEE REVIEW The Architecture and Landscape Review Committee (ALRQ reviewed this application at its December 2, 2009 meeting (Attachment 5). At that meeting, Committee Members Thoms and Rooker respectively moved and seconded to adopt Minute Motion 2009-008 recommending approval of Village Use Permit 2008-042 by a 2-0 vote. While the Committee did not move to recommend specific changes to the project, the following comments were made by the Committee for the applicant's and the Planning Commission's consideration, recognizing that these were not required conditions, but rather recommended suggestions: • The use of a darker color for the building, such as chocolate brown, to minimize the mass of the building. • Additional palm trees be added along Eisenhower Drive to help break up the massiveness of the building. • The design and placement of the proposed water feature be adjusted, per the applicant's comments, or eliminated. • The size of the trees in the parking lot should be increased to 36- from 24- inch (minimum diameter calipers) boxes in the landscaping area. • Add additional dog relief area into the landscaping someplace for waiting animal patients. • Add eyebrows to the set of windows on the "sheer wall" side of the building adjacent to the parking lot. • A smooth finish for the building would be preferred, rather than sand finish.

B. Committee Members Present: Ray Rooker and David Thorns Committee Member Absent: Jason Arnold C. Staff present: Planning Manager David Sawyer, Principal Planner Andrew Mogensen, and Secretary Monika Radeva II. PUBLIC COMMENT: None III. CONFIRMATION OF THE AGENDA: Confirmed IV. CONSENT CALENDAR: Staff asked if there were any changes to the Minutes of October 7, 2009. There being no comments or corrections it was moved and seconded by Committee Members Rooker/Thoms to approve the minutes as submitted. Unanimously approved. V. BUSINESS ITEMS: A. Village Use Permit 2008-042 a request submitted by Dr. Kathryn Carlson, DVM, for consideration of Architectural and Landscaping Plans for the Village Animal Hospital; an 8,752 square foot Veterinary Facility with on -site boarding located east of Eisenhower Drive, between Avenida Montezuma and Avenida Martinez in the Village Commercial District. Principal Planner Andrew Mogensen presented the information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Planning Department. Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee Minutes December 2, 2009 Committee Member Rooker asked the applicant if any animals would be kept outside and if that was the purpose for the high fencing. Dr. Kathryn Carlson, DVM, 77-895 Avenida Montezuma, La Quinta, introduced herself and explained that the outside area between the building and the high fence was designated for walking the hospitalized animals on leash and not for overnight boarding. Committee Member Rooker asked staff if the Village Design Guidelines mandate that the building be designed the same way as the current animal hospital. Staff replied it did not. Committee Member Rooker said he was pleased with the project, but he found the overall mass of the building to be overwhelming for the site and the setbacks to be too small. He said he would like to find a way to mitigate that contrast and make it a bit softer. He suggested the use of a darker color, such as a chocolate brown, instead of the proposed bright white, for the building to soften its massive appearance. Committee Member Rooker expressed his concern about the elevation on Eisenhower Drive as that was the main corner exposure of the building and there was very little in terms of design and landscaping to break up its overwhelming mass. He suggested the use of two or three palm trees in the existing planter as well as some cascading plants on the second floor balconies to soften the impact of the building. Dr. Carlson said she liked the landscaping suggestions and she would take them into consideration. She noted she had considered having cascading plants on the balconies, but then realized that it would cover the artistic design of the screens she wanted to have. Committee Member Rooker noted the cascading plants would be more effective and more cost efficient. Committee Member Rooker expressed his concern about the trash enclosure location as it was too remote, he suggested re -locating it so that it was adjacent to the building. Mr. Brian de Coster, Architect, 77-895 Avenida Montezuma, La Quinta, introduced himself and explained the trash was taken out daily, after business hours, and the proposed location for the trash enclosure would not be inconvenient. p:Uteports - ALRC\2010WLRC_4-7-10WLRC MIN_12-2-09_Approved.doc 2 Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee Minutes December 2, 2009 Committee Member Rooker said the proposed location of the water fountain made it seem as if it was an afterthought and in the way of the pedestrian walkway. He recommended the presentation of the water feature be more architecturally symmetrical, possibly moving it out by the front column and making it visible from the parking lot. Dr. Carlson explained why the suggested location would not be appropriate for a veterinary clinic and the type of subtle, slow drip, cascading, water feature she had in mind which was not accurately depicted in the plans. Committee Member Rooker said he was pleased with the applicant's explanation. Committee Member Rooker said the north elevation roof fascia and rafter tail on drawing four of the plans seemed to be out of scale. Mr. de Coster said the plans would be corrected and noted that the applicant's intent was to have exposed rafter tails everywhere possible. Committee Member Rooker said he found the 24-inch box trees, proposed for the parking lot, to be a bit small and suggested the use of 36-inch box trees to help break up the concrete a bit. The applicant agreed. Committee Member Rooker asked if there would be an outside landscaped area for waiting animal patients. Dr. Carlson replied there would be some along Avenida Mendoza. Discussion followed about possible additional landscaped area contingent upon compliance with code requirements. Committee Member Thorns said he generally agreed with the above stated comments made by Committee Member Rooker. Committee Member Thorns reiterated Committee Member Rooker's suggestion to add vertical plants along Eisenhower Drive. He said he liked the architectural ridge design above the windows, but he noted that a set of windows on the first floor did not have it. He said the ridge added a nice feature to the building and he would like all of the windows to have it. Committee Member Thorns asked if the applicant would keep the current animal hospital in additional to the proposed new facility. Dr. Carlson replied the current animal hospital would be relocated to the new building once it was completed. P:URepor[s - ALRC\2010\ALRC_4-7-10\ALRC MIN_12-2-09_Approved.doe 3 Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee Minutes December 2, 2009 Committee Member Thorns asked why the applicant was tearing down the existing building completely and re -building it, instead of just modifying it. Mr. de Coster enumerated several design issues which could not be addressed through a modification. Mr. de Coster said the reason no landscaping was placed along Eisenhower Drive was because there was a concern of whether or not there was sufficient space to place palm trees that would not be too close and hazardous to the building if exposed to high winds. Discussion followed on what types of palm trees might be appropriate to consider in this situation. Committee Member Thorns asked if the finish on the stucco was flat or sand. Dr. Carlson said she would prefer to have smooth finish, however, she might have to accept a sand finish due to cost considerations. Discussion followed regarding different types of building finish options, architectural design features, and color contrasts. Committee Member Thoms said he would have preferred the landscape architect give a presentation to the Committee. He said he found the list of proposed plants to be too extensive and the use of artificial grass unnecessary. Dr. Carlson explained the artificial grass was required, even though it was more expensive, because it was easier to clean and maintain after being used by the hospitalized animals. Committee Member Thorns suggested the use of simple shrub planting along with the artificial grass, and reiterated that the proposed plant list was too diverse. He noted the landscaping on the south side should also be simplified. Discussion followed regarding different types of plants, trees, and other landscaping options. Committee Member Thorns said the landscaping should not be overpowering, but rather complimentary to the building. Committee Member Thorns suggested the removal of the planter identified by the parking lot on the east elevation as it would become a maintenance issue over time. p:\Reports - ALRC\20IOWLRC_4-7-IO\ALRC MIN_I2-2-09_Approved.doc 4 Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee Minutes December 2, 2009 Committee Member Rooker asked about the type of material that would be used for the sidewalk by the front entrance. He noted the plans had identified two different surfaces, a flat one and a paved one. He suggested the applicant only use one type, either all pavers or all colored tile. The applicant agreed. Committee Member Thorns also agreed with this comment. Committee Member Thorns said he did not like the use of wheel - stops in the parking lot because after awhile they seemed to become a maintenance issue. Staff replied the wheel -stops were recommended by the Public Works Department to help regulate the flow of traffic in the appropriate direction as the site circulation was a bit complicated. Committee Member Thorns said he did not like the multi -color roof of the building and suggested the use of a single -color instead. He said it was about simplifying the design with elegant materials. Committee Member Rooker noted he did not have a preference on the roof as it was too high to be really noticed. Committee Member Rooker said his comments and suggestions on the project were merely recommendations and he would not like to include any of them as conditions of approval. Committee Member Thorns agreed with that as well. Staff said the following comments had been made by the Committee for the applicant's and the Planning Commission's consideration, recognizing that these were not required conditions, but rather recommended suggestions: • The use of a darker color for the building, such as chocolate brown, to minimize the mass of the building. • Additional palm trees be added along Eisenhower Drive to help break up the massiveness of the building. • The design and placement of the proposed water feature be adjusted, per the applicant's comments, or eliminated. • The size of the oak trees in the parking lot should be increased to 36- from 24-inch (minimum diameter calipers) boxes in the landscaping area. • Add additional dog relief area into the landscaping someplace for waiting animal patients. • Add eyebrows to the set of windows on the "sheer wall" side of the building adjacent to the parking lot. P:\Reports-ALRC\2010\ALRC-4-7-10\ALRC MIN _12-2-09_Approved.doc 5 Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee Minutes December 2, 2009 • A smooth finish for the building would be preferred, rather than sand finish. • A single -tone rooftop would be preferred. • Simplify the landscaping palette by reducing the number of different types of plants. Replace the fruitless olives with Palo Verde. • Remove the planter in the sidewalk area on the eastern side at the entry. • The same type flooring should be used throughout for the entry area and the sidewalk, either pavers or concrete. • Cascading plants should be placed on the balconies. There being no further questions, it was moved and seconded by Committee Members Thoms/Rooker to adopt Minute Motion 2009- 008, recommending approval of Village Use Permit 2008-042 as submitted, with the suggestions as noted above. AYES: Committee Members Rooker and Thorns. NOES: None. ABSTAIN: None. ABSENT: Committee Member Arnold. VI. CORRESPONDENCE AND WRITTEN MATERIAL: None VII. COMMITTEE MEMBER ITEMS: None Vill. PLANNING STAFF ITEMS: A. Planning Commission Update Planning Manager Sawyer said as a result of the Joint Planning Commission/Architectural and Landscape Review Committee/City Council meeting held on October 27, 2009, all Final Landscaping Plans applications were now subject to staff's review and approval and would no longer be presented to the ALRC unless otherwise directed by the Planning Commission. Committee Member Rooker asked staff if the Committee could procedurally ask the Planning Commission to send a project's Final Landscaping Plans back for ALRC review. Staff replied the Committee could make such a recommendation, but that the final decision was up to the Planning Commission. Committee Member Rooker asked that the motion for VUP 2008-042 be amended to include a recommendation from the Committee that the Final Landscaping Plans be sent back to ALRC for final review. He expressed his concern that such an action could possibly delay the development of a project by as much as thirty days. Staff replied that would be correct and P:\Reports - ALRC2010\ALRC_4-7-10\ALRC MIN_12-2-09_Approved.doe 6 Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee Minutes December 2, 2009 suggested the Committee not amend the motion and let the Planning Commission make the determination whether or not there were any significant issues that would trigger an ALRC review of the final plans. Committee Member Rooker asked if staff could informally present the revised landscaping plans to the Committee for review, if the motion was not amended and the Planning Commission did not direct staff to bring the case back to the ALRC. Staff replied they could not hold an informal meeting with the Committee and that the proper procedural process for an information review was that the Committee Members individually request to review the final plans on their own time. Committee Member Thorns said it was not his intention to further complicate the review process or delay the approval of a project. He noted the Committee's responsibility was to review the submitted plans and offer expertise by making comments and recommendations for improvement. However, the Committee could not enforce any recommendations unless the applicant was conditioned to do so by the Planning Commission. Committee Member Rooker asked staff to inform the Planning Director that the Committee would like to have the opportunity to informally and individually review the final revised plans. Committee Member Thorns asked staff if the ALRC could review landscaping plans for the public right-of-way. Staff replied the current procedure only required staff's review. Committee Member Thorns asked if there was a professional landscape architect on staff. Staff replied there was not, however, the City had a licensed landscape architect design and prepare the plans. Planning Manager Sawyer explained the review and approval process for public right-of-way landscaping. IX. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business, it was moved and seconded by Committee Members Rooker/Thoms to adjourn this meeting of the Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee to a Regular Meeting to be held on January 6, 2010. This meeting was adjourned at 11:19 a.m. on December 2, 2009.

I want to come to the Planning Comiss meeting tomorrow night, but have to go to CERT at the same time. I was going to expess my support for the Village Animal Park Hospital to construct their new facility, as its great to have these vet services right here close. BUT, a lot of us hope that the current (historical) site will somehow be used/preserved, as it would be terrible to lose that little slice of history... We note it's on the market, but how can the building be preserved. Does the designation by the Historical Commission count for something?

Andy Mogensen From: Michael Fischer <mrfischernol@aol.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 20114:12 PM To: Andy Mogensen Subject: village use permit #2008-042 To who it may concern: I Michael A Fischer am concerned with the large size of the proposed Vet hospital/office structure and the impact that it will have on traffic, parking and intended use of an area we now call a community park. In my opinion when you consider the impact it will have on this small area surrounding out park, you have to add it to or combine it with the existing Vet hospital/office structure's impact to get a true total overall impact on this very small area. If you combine the proposes office space 8752 with the existing office space of 4000 you now have 12872 for a total space. This in my opinion is a more accurate method to decide the overall impact as these two structures are basically on the same side of a one way street, the only street circling our park, and within several hundred yards of each other. Combining these two structures must be done to determine the true impact on this small area. If combined space is considered then you will see that with out a doubt you have exceeded the amount of generated traffic stops that this proposed structure will have on this area . Total combined space 12752 producing 4.7 stops per hour per 1000 sq ft of space equals 59.934 stops per hour. This is a very small community park to have this much impact here will reduce the availability for use of the one and only street that enters or exits our park area. This is supposed to be a community park with activities related to and for children, young boys & girls, family oriented activities. If a business located in this vicinity out grows this small area then I think it is better to relocate to an area that is designed for larger businesses on highway 111 were we already have our home depots, price clubs, office depots and businesses that are too large for a small area like our park. Our community has not outgrown our current Vet Hospital/Office structure the business has outgrown our small community park. If Ace hardware were to become extremely busy and request a new structure 300 % larger to be built 3 or 4 lots away from its current location , would it be considered by the planning dept. How about a liquor store across the steet from its current location, 300% larger, or 2 or 3 new gas stations surrounding our park and keeping the existing station open too. In my opinion our small community park is too small to allow this type of structure to be approved for this type of use when we already have an approved structure in this area permitting this type of use. We need this park for the people of this community to have space to relax, play, participate in social activities, sports play or just people watching not growing larger based businesses of any type, its just too small of an area to have both. thank you for hearing my voice.....

We represent the Homeowners from Rancho La Quinta Country Club and live in Rancho La Quinta Country Club as well. Walgreens was given their site development permit in April, 2003, provided they agreed to several conditions including Condition #6, which states: "There shall be no storage or sales of alcoholic beverages on, the premises". The City Council conditioned Walgreens with these requirements eight years ago because of the concerns the surrounding neighbors had for crime and noise associated with alcohol sales. The concerns remain as follows: o There,are plenty of retail outlets/stores within a mile of Walgreen's that sell alcoholic beverages; approximately 10 stores. o Given the pricing of alcoholic beverages, it is doubtful they would be competitive with what is already available at discount at other stores. o We have no interest or need in making Walgreen's competitive; o Walgreen's contends that beer and wine will help them be a "one stop shop"; there are still many items they do not carry for one stop shopping. o We have not seen any facts or figures from the City of La Quinta that would suggest they have seen a strong demand for any type of alcoholic beverages to be sold at this Walgreen's; there has been no substantiation from this Walgreen's-to this statement either. o Please note the attached article from the September 12, 2011 Desert Sun, "Studies link liquor sales to crime", which supports our position to the opposition of any type of liquor sales at this Walgreen's.
