The existing gatehouse is approximately 312 square feet. The proposed addition is approximately 408 square feet, resulting in a 720 square foot gatehouse. Project Overview: The Jefferson Street gatehouse for Rancho La Quinta is located at the western terminus of Avenue 49 and Jefferson Street (Attachment 1, Sheet 1). The existing gatehouse, which was approved and constructed in 2003, consists of an office area and restroom. The expansion consists of an open floor area for the purpose of security equipment storage. Internal access from the existing gatehouse to the expanded area is proposed, as well as an access door on the southern building elevation. Site Design: The expansion of the gatehouse will be to the east of the existing structure (Attachment 1, Sheet 2). An existing paved parking area and landscaping will be removed. Established resident/guest circulation routes and vehicular stacking capabilities will not be modified. Architectural Design: The proposed gatehouse expansion has been designed to be consistent with the architectural style of the existing gatehouse. This includes architectural elements such as the use of a smooth plaster finish as the primary exterior building material and the use of concrete "S" the roofing. No roof -mounted mechanical equipment is proposed. The gatehouse expansion, at the highest ridgeline, is approximately 15'- 3" in height (Attachment 1, Sheet 4). Landscaping: A 5-foot wide landscaped planter area is proposed around the perimeter of the expanded gatehouse (Attachment 1, Sheet 2). The new planter will be a continuation of the existing planter area, with the same plants and shrubs incorporated into the plant palette. All other landscaped areas within the entrance area will remain as is. ANALYSIS Per La Quinta Municipal Code Section 9.200.090, increases in building square footage exceeding ten percent from the original approval requires the approval of a site development permit. The gatehouse expansion will increase the existing 312 square foot building by 408 square feet, or over 130% of the existing building area. Staff finds that the overall design of the proposed gatehouse expansion to be acceptable. The architectural style and layout of the expansion matches the existing gatehouse. Except for the Jefferson Street setback, the expansion of the gatehouse meets all development standards, including property setbacks and height requirements. The required setback from the Jefferson Street property line is 20 feet. The applicant has proposed an 18-foot setback from the property line. In order to accommodate the proposed 18-foot setback, the applicant has requested Planning Director approval of a minor adjustment application, which may allow a deviation of up to ten percent of a numerical development standard in the Municipal Code. The Planning Director approved Minor Adjustment 2012-655 on October 12, 2012, which reduced the required setback from 20 feet to 18 feet, as proposed. That the Architectural and Landscaping Review Committee recommend approval of Site Development Permi;t'�2012-923 to the Planning Commission. Prepared JAY WUU, }associate Planner Attachments: 1.
