Public Speaker: Mrs. Janiffer Baumann, Stone Creek Ranch resident, La Quinta, CA - introduced herself, spoke favorably of the project, but expressed concerns regarding the five or six proposed two-story homes facing her back yard. She requested the Commission reconsider the setbacks of the proposed homes, the location of windows for privacy, the elevations, and possibly reducing the two- story to single story homes to avoid the loss of privacy. Public Speaker: Ms. Jenny Hwang, owner of Lot No. 41 within the Stone Creek Ranch development, Henderson, CA - introduced herself, spoke favorably of the project, and asked what conditions and approval processes she would be subject to if she were to build out her lot.

Mr. Janisch directed the Commission to the submitted Site Development Booklet and the proposed two-story floor plans indicating that the two-story component was very limited in space, consisting only of a bedroom and a bathroom, and located to the front, over a portion of the home, therefore substantially reducing the potential for loss of privacy to the adjacent properties.

PORTION OF A 60 FOOT WIDE STRIP EAST OF PGA BOULEVARD RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014- finding that Public Utility Easement Vacation is consistent with the La Quinta General Plan. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: A 60 foot wide public utility easement (PUE) currently runs through the PGA West "Signature" Project. The developer has requested that this PUE be vacated so that homes can be built. No utilities exist within the PUE and no utility agencies have objected to the PUE vacation request. BACKGROUND Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65402, the "Planning Agency" (City of La Quinta Planning Commission) shall make a finding that the proposed vacation is consistent with the City's General Plan and Circulation Element for any public easement being vacated by the City Council. The PUE was dedicated per corporation grant deed recorded April 19, 1985. The portion of PUE in question is shown in Attachments 1 and 2. This portion of right Page 1 of 2 of way is not needed by other property owners for access or improved accessibility. PROPOSAL & ANALYSIS: All utility agencies have been notified of this request. No utility agencies have identified facilities within the easement. All utility agencies have written letters to the City and none of them have objected to the PUE vacation. The City staff will recommend vacating this portion of the PUE as it is no longer needed by the utility agencies nor for public right of way. AGENCY & PUBLIC REVIEW: Public Agency Review: This request was sent to all applicable City departments and affected public agencies. All written comments received are on file and available for review with the Public Works Department. Public Notice: This project was advertised in The Desert Sun newspaper on January 3, 2014, and mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the site. To date, no comments have been received from adjacent property owners. Any written comments received will be handed out at the Planning Commission hearing. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed vacation is exempt under Section 15060 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in that vacation of the subject easement will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

PROPERTY OWNER: BLP DESERT, LP AND BL2, LP REQUEST: REVERSION TO ACREAGE OF PARCEL MAP 29052 LOCATION: NORTHWEST CORNER OF JEFFERSON STREET AND AVENUE 50 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014- approving Reversion to Acreage 2012-006 (PM 36539-R), subject to the attached Findings and Conditions of Approval. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The developer recorded Final Parcel Map 29052 in 1999 and entered into subdivision improvement agreements for the construction of on and off -site infrastructure. The time extensions for the agreements have lapsed and the developer is not ready to move forward with the full development of the project. The developer has requested that the parcel map be reverted to acreage such that the infrastructure construction obligations will be nullified. BACKGROUND On August 24, 1999, the developer entered into subdivision improvement agreements which expired on September 20, 2012. The developer had planned the property for a major supermarket anchored retail shopping center. The major supermarket has abandoned these plans in their entirety and sold that parcel back to the original developer. No replacement project has been determined. The developer is not in a position to construct the on and off site infrastructure that is an obligation of his final map, nor to pay the bond premiums associated with these obligations and therefore requests a reversion to acreage at this time.

Staff recommends that the dedications of right of way for Jefferson Street and Avenue 50 be accepted by the City with the final map. The construction of all public and private improvements will be conditioned with the future map.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Hobby Lobby is proposing permanent business identification signs (Attachment 1). Staff recommends a reduction in size to the proposed primary sign in order to maintain consistency with previously -approved signs for major retail tenants along Highway 111. As conditioned, the proposed signage complies with the development requirements of the One Eleven La Quinta Sign Program. BACKGROUND In August 2013, the Planning Commission approved plans for Hobby Lobby, a commercial retail building located within the One Eleven La Quinta commercial center (Attachment 2). The center's Planned Sign Program requires "Major Tenants" to obtain Planning Commission approval of their business identification signs. With a total floor area of 55,445 square feet, Hobby Lobby is considered a major tenant. PROPOSAL & ANALYSIS: The applicant has applied for a total of five signs (Attachment 3). "Hobby Lobby" is the primary business identification sign, with "Crafts", "Seasonal", "Floral", and "Home Accents" as four secondary signs. The design and layout of the proposed signs are consistent with the signs approved and installed at Hobby Lobby stores nationwide. P:\Reports - PC\2014\PC 1-14-14\HOBBY LOBBY SIGNAGE\BI 1 (1) SA 13-1742 Hobby Lobby —Staff Rpt_Final.docxPage 1 of 3 The primary sign is proposed to be placed on the center tower wall on the southern building elevation facing Highway 111. The proposed sign consists of individual internally -illuminated channel letters (Attachment 3, Page 4). At its highest and widest dimensions, the sign is proposed to be approximately 4'-9" in height and 48'- 9" wide, totaling approximately 223 square feet. The sign faces are Orange, with semi -gloss black returns. The four secondary signs are proposed to be placed on the southern building elevation adjacent to the primary sign. The proposed signs consist of individual non -illuminated channel letters (Attachment 3, Page 5). The total square footage of the proposed secondary signage is approximately 103 square feet. The total square footage of the five signs is approximately 326 square feet. Major retail tenants along Highway 111 have historically applied for large business identification signs, and have traditionally deviated from the Municipal Code maximum of 50 square feet. Approvals were granted based on sign size, location, proportionality to the building, as well as compliance with any applicable sign program. The following chart shows a comparison of the proposed signs to previously -approved signs for major retail tenants of similar size along Highway 1 1 1 : Store Sign Size (—square feet) Store Frontage ( — feet) Building Size (—square feet) Kohl's 195 428 127,000 Stater Brothers 180 245 42,600 Bed Bath & Beyond 150 238 30,000 The Home Depot 100 416 105,800 Average 156 332 76,350 Hobby Lobby Total: 326 Primary Sign: 223 Secondary Signs: 103 242 55,445 Staff concludes that the proposed primary sign is larger than necessary as it is greater than what has historically been approved for major retail tenants on Highway 111 with similar floor areas and store frontages. This discrepancy can be alleviated by reducing the size of the main business identification sign from 223 to 180 square feet, which would be appropriate for this location, as it could remain proportionate to the building elevation, and is complementary in size to other signs and frontages of other major retail tenants along Highway 111 . Staff also concludes that the sizes of the secondary signs are appropriate for the subject locations as they are proportionate to the building elevation. Although the signs add over 100 square feet to the total signage for the building, they create a cohesive and functional purpose by acting as informational signage, and do not P:\Reports - PC\2014\PC 1-14-14\HOBBY LOBBY SIGNAGE\BI 1 (1) SA 13-1742 Hobby Lobby —Staff Rpt_Final.docxPage 2 of 3 advertise any brand or logo. Furthermore, other major retail tenants, most recently Walmart, have had secondary signage approved with similar purposes. Walmart's secondary signage totals approximately 200 square feet, which is comparable given the building size (200,000 square feet) and frontage (577 feet) of the building. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Community Development Department has determined that this project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15311 (Accessory Structures) of the California Environmental Quality Act as it consists of the construction of on -premise signs.
