REPORT OF PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION APPROVING PLOT PLAN 92- 494 TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF AN AUTOMOTIVE LUBRICATION SHOP & SELF CARWASH IN THE ONE ELEVEN LA QUINTA SHOPPING CENTER ON THE WEST SIDE OF ADAMS ST. APPROXIMATELY 350' NORTH OF HIGHWAY 111. APPLICANT: THE LUBE SHOP (PETER STURGEON). Mr. Sawa, Principal Planner, advised that the applicant wishes to construct and operate an automotive lubrication shop and coin - operated self- service carwash on the property located approximately mid -way between the new Wal -Mart and Highway 111, adjacent to Adams in the One Eleven La Quinta Center. The lubrication operation is designed as a drive -thru'facility with three lubrication bays which are entered from the south and exited to the north. Cars are driven onto racks and worked on from excavated pits below the cars. No automotive . hoists or lifts are utilized. The self - service carwash with four bays is located west of the lubrication bays and attached as part of the same building. The cars enter from the south and exit to the north to the parking area for drying and vacuuming. It will be open 24 hours a day. Both the Planning Commission and the Design Review Board have unanimously approved the application. Council Member McCartney referred to the Environmental Assessment, Item No. 10 relating to "risk of upset" and asked why it's checked as a "maybe Mr. Sawa advised that in this type of operation there are some types of materials on the premises that could catch on fire and. in the case of gasoline, it could explode. Therefore, there is always a possible risk. He pointed out that the Fire Marshal and County Health have regulations relative to use of these materials, disposal and storage. Council Member McCartney stated that this type of business will generate a great deal of oil and he was concerned that,in the conditions we make certain that all adequate measures needed are applied to make sure that these toxic substances do not find their way into the soil and that it's contained in • C" X) i • City Council Minutes 11 February 2, 1993 every way possible. Mr. Sawa advised that the applicant intends to recycle the oil. He also pointed out that a requirement of the Fire Marshal (Condition No. 20) is for proper storage. Council Member McCartney was concern that if this project goes forward that the City do all it can to insulate itself from any potential suits or matters that might come back to us. Ron Sturgeon, applicant, commented on the concerns expressed by Council advising that California has the toughest requirements in the Country with regard to toxic substances. He noted that used oil is not flammable unless heated to a high temperature. They will use a biodegradable detergent to clean the floors. Mayor Pena stated that he had no problem with the lube operation, but had a concern with the 24 -hour, coin - operated carwash. He would not feel comfortable voting for it without seeing his operation in Cathedral City. Council Member Bangerter said she visited his shop in Cathedral City and was impressed with it. It was clean and well- organized. Council Member Sniff supported the application - it appears to be a modern, up -to -date operation and was confident it would be run properly. Ms. Honeywell, City Attorney, advised that the only action available to the Council at this time is to affirm the action of the Planning Commission. If the Council wishes to consider it further or consider changing or adding conditions, it needs to be set for hearing. Mayor Pena asked if at some future date, if the City isn't pleased with the operation (i.e. hours of operation) , could it be called up and reviewed. Ms. Honeywell advised not,, unless it' s made a condition of the Plot Plan. Council Member Perkins said his only concern is that sometimes these places become an attraction as a place to "hang out" and asked if that became a problem, could the Council review it. Ms. Honeywell recommended that if the Council has some concerns they should set it for hearing where it could review all of the conditions. ii r I City Council Minutes 12 February 2, 1993 In response to Council Member Bangerter, Mr. Sturgeon advised that the only problem they've had in Cathedral City is-with graffiti. Tom Childers, representing One Eleven La Quinta Center, advised that this is one of four facilities in the Center that deals with petroleum products noting Wal -Mart, Shell and Arco are the others. He pointed out that they have very stringent C.C. &R's. and closely regulate hazardous substances. Mayor Pena stated that he had no objection to the lube shop, he just didn't want the City to lose control." Given the C.C. &R's of the Center, he felt that the City has a fall -back position in which we can go to the developer and the business to address any problems. Therefore, he would support proceeding with the project. MOTION - It was moved by Council Members Sniff /Bangerter to accept the report of Planning Commission Action approving Plot Plan 92 -494 subject to the recommended conditions. Motion carried with Council Member McCartney voting NO. MINUTE ORDER NO. 93 -34. 10. REVIEW OF LANDSCAPE DESIGN FOR WASHINGTON ST. CENTER MEDIANS BETWEEN 48TH AVENUE & HIGHLAND PALMS. Mr. Sawa, Principal Planner, advised that plans have been prepared for the center street medians which exist between 48th Avenue and Highland Palms Drive. The plants that are proposed for use in the medians are low -water users and attractive desert -type plantings. The design complies with the draft City guidelines which are presently being developed. The Design Review Board has recommended approval. Mr. Genovese advised that staff will be considering some kind of vine to be planted along walls to discourage graffiti artists. Council Member Sniff expressed concern with the use of date trees and hoped that the medians are going to be wide enough so that the dates won't fall onto the pavement or hit cars. MOTION - It was moved by Council Members Sniff /McCartney to approve the preliminary landscape design for Washington Street medians between 48th Avenue and Highland Palms Drive.

APPLICANT: ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: BACKGROUND: THE LUBE SHOP (PETER STURGEON) ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 92 -248 WAS PREPARED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS APPLICATION. THE INITIAL STUDY INDICATES THAT NO SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS WHICH WILL OCCUR WHICH CANNOT BE MITIGATED. THEREFORE, A NEGATIVE DECLARATION HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION. The site is one of the pad locations approved by Specific Plan 89 -014 (Transpacific Development Company). The Applicant wishes to construct and operate an automotive lubrication shop and coin operated self car wash on the property which is located approximately mid -way between the new Wal -Mart and Highway 111, adjacent to Adams Street. Presently, the Applicant operates a similar lubrication shop in Cathedral City. The lubrication operation is designed as a drive -thru facility with three lubrication bays which are entered from the south and exited to the north. Cars are driven onto racks and worked on MEMOSS.125 1 N from excavated pits below the cars. No automotive hoists or lifts are utilized. The self service car wash with four bays is located west of the lubrication bays and attached as part of the same building. The cars enter from the south and exit to the north to a parking area for drying and vacuuming. The car wash, due to its self -serve nature, will be open 24 hours a day. The building has been designed to be architecturally compatible with the shopping center. The structure is similar to the approved Shell service station at the corner of Adams Street and Highway 111 to the south. Both of these uses are visible from and adjacent to Adams Street. Additionally, the building will have some architectural features of the main shopping center and will partially utilize matching colors and materials. The building is basically a flat roof structure which utilizes partial arches and stepped wall treatment. In the center of the south side of'the building between the car wash and lubrication shop, is one rounded arch tower feature which is similar to that utilized in the main shopping center. Exterior materials are proposed to be a combination of stucco and split face block walls and facias, with split face block columns and some tile accent. The three lubrication bays will be provided with painted metal roll-up doors to match the adjacent block columns. One item of note is that this project proposes to introduce split face block to the shopping center. To date this material has not been utilized for any of the projects. Staff feels that the use of this material in the easterly end of the shopping center is acceptable and may help improve the architectural look of the east end of the center.

LOCATION: WEST SIDE OF ADAMS STREET APPROXIMATELY 350 NORTH OF HIGHWAY 111. GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION: MIXED REGIONAL COMMERCIAL WITH A NON - RESIDENTIAL OVERLAY. ZONING: C -P -S (SCENIC HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL) SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USE: NORTH: C -P -S - PART OF SHOPPING CENTER. SOUTH: C -P -S - SHELL SERVICE STATION AND ANOTHER PAD BUILDING WHICH ARE PART OF THE SHOPPING CENTER. EAST: C -P -S - VACANT LAND. WEST: C -P -S - PARKING AREA FOR SHOPPING CENTER. � ► /1; • Sul _►M�� DETERMINATION: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 92 -248 WAS PREPARED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS APPLICATION. THE INITIAL STUDY INDICATES THAT NO SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS WILL OCCUR WHICH CANNOT BE MITIGATED. THEREFORE, A NEGATIVE DECLARATION HAS BEEN PREPARED AND IS PROPOSED FOR ADOPTION. PCST.104 1 The site is one of the pad locations approved by Specific Plan 89 -014 (Transpacific Development Company). The Applicant wishes to construct and operate an automotive lubrication shop and coin operated self car wash on the property which is located approximately midway between the new Wal -Mart and Highway 111 adjacent to Adams Street. Presently, the Applicant operates a similar lubrication shop in Cathedral City. Generally the services consist of oil changes, checking of vital fluids, chassis lubrications, and maintenance inspections. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The automobile lubrication operation is designed as a drive -thru facility with three lubrication bays which are entered from the south and exited to the north. There are no automobile hoists or lifts involved. Cars are driven onto racks and worked on from excavated pits below the cars. The self service car wash is located to the west of the lubrication bays and is attached as part of the same building. The cars again enter from the south and exit to the north. Across the aisle will be six parking spaces which can be used for drying the automobiles. Additionally, three vacuum islands are placed adjacent to these spaces. Due to the nature of the uses, the building is laid out in a long "L" shape with a small office area at the southeast end of the building. Adjacent to the office portion of the use, there is an outdoor covered patio area provided. At the northeast end of the building is an outdoor storage area for used oil and filters (to be recycled). North of the building at the westerly end is an enclosed trash enclosure in a planter area. North of the easterly end of the building a six foot high masonry .wall is provided to provide visual screening and buffering from the proposed preschool to the north. This wall is located within a planter area. The total building square footage is proposed to be 3,740 square feet with the lubrication shop portion consisting of 2,560 square feet and the car wash portion consisting of 1,180 square feet. • is • rz•WIN VIO.I To the south of the site runs a driveway which leads from the parking lot to Adams Street. Driveway access from this aisle is provided to the site. To the west of the project runs a driveway aisle running north to south. To both the north and south of the building, driveway aisles will connect to this parking aisle. To the north of the site, parking spaces and a large planter area adjacent to Adams Street are to be provided. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN: The building has been designed to be compatible with the shopping center. The architect has designed it to be architecturally similar to the approved Shell service station at the corner of PCST.104 2 Adams Street and Highway 111 to the south. Both of these uses will be visible from Adams Street. The building is basically a flat roof structure which utilizes partial arches and stepped wall treatment. In the center of the south elevation between the car wash and lubrication shop is one rounded arch feature which is similar to that utilized within the shopping center. The exterior materials are proposed to be a combination of stucco and split -face block walls and facial with split -face columns and some tile accents. The three lubrication bays would be provided with painted roll -up doors to match the adjacent block columns. For the most part, materials and colors match or are very similar to those used in the shopping center. This project proposes to introduce split -face block to the shopping center. To date, this material has not been utilized for any of the projects. The split -face block is proposed to be painted. LANDSCAPING: As a part of the site plan, the Applicant has shown some conceptual landscaping. The plan shows locations and species of trees which are proposed to be utilized. The trees utilized are ones that are proposed for use within the shopping center area. The plan shows a curbside sidewalk. The sidewalk which was recently installed is a meandering sidewalk. Therefore, the landscaping plans when they are fully prepared will need to take into account the meandering sidewalk. Additionally, the power poles and utility lines which run adjacent to Adams Street will need to be shown on the plans and will influence the landscape design with regards to location of large trees. DESIGN REVIEW BOARD ACTION: The Design Review Board reviewed this request at their meeting of January 6, 1993. The Design Review Board did discuss the architectural style and project but had no major problems with the proposal. The Design Review Board on a 7-0 vote moved to ' recommend approval of the project subject to conditions pertaining to approval of the sign program, exterior colors, landscaping plan approval, trash enclosure relocation (this relocation has been done on most recently submitted site plan), and provision of screen walls (this has been incorporated in most recently submitted site plan). ANALYSIS: The Planning and Development Department feels that the basic project is conceptually acceptable. Staff does believe that colors utilized on the project should exactly match'those used in the shopping center. The incorporation of split -face block in this project is acceptable to Staff provided it is approved by the master developer. While it has not been proposed to be utilized in any previous approvals, Staff does feel that due to the long linear nature of the project it could be utilized in some of the buildings along the easterly side of the project to improve the existing architectural look of the easterly end of the shopping center.

FE: No environmental impacts are expected with regard to soil or erosion. The site has been graded with the driveways, same buildings, . and parking lot areas installed. 2. Air: It is possible that the lubrication shop may create objectionable odors. However, any odors created should be of minor impact and rare in occurrence. MITIGATION MEASURES: The project shall be required to comply with all City, County, and State requirements regarding use of oils and other lubricants. 3. Water: It is not anticipated that there will be any impact on water or other drainage concerns. The building will be required to provide drainage to approved drainage ways. 4. Plant Life: Since the site has been graded and asphalt installed around the site, there is . no plant life existing on the property. 5. Animal Life: Due.to the grading of the site and installation of adjacent asphalt areas, there is no animal life existing on the site. The master developer has paid the required $600 per acre for payment to the Nature Conservancy for impacts created on the Fringe - Toed Lizard. 6. Noise: There is a possibility that there may be some periodic increase in noise levels. There will be some increase in noise levels during the construction. There may be some periodic noise increased due to car washing and the servicing of automobiles. However, this is anticipated to be of very short duration and low impact. MITIGATION MEASURES: The project shall be required to comply with any applicable noise requirements and restrictions of the City, including construction of a six foot high block wall north of the lubrication bays. ENVASS.006 2 7. Liaht and Glare: It is anticipated that the project will create new light sources in and surrounding the building. Any new lighting constructed will be in conjunction with the proposed project. The project will be required to comply with the Dark Sky Ordinance and provide lighting which has minimum impacts on adjacent properties. 8. Land Use: The project will not result in the alteration of the planned commercial use of this property. 9. Natural Resources: It is not anticipated that the construction and operation of the use will result in an unusual increase in the rate or use of any natural resource. The car wash, being self operated will utilize a relatively small amount of water. Patrons of this facility normally would wash their cars at home if they did not use this facility. 10. Risk of Upset: There is a possibility of an explosion or a release of hazardous substances, such as oil or chemicals. However, such risk is considered low provided the operation is run properly and safely. MITIGATION MEASURES: The project shall be required to be operated with all City, County, and State regulations which should insure safety from explosion or release of hazardous substances. 11. Population: It is not anticipated that the project will have an impact on population distribution location, etc. The number of employees is anticipated to be low and should be drawn from the local existing population base. 12. Housing: It is not anticipated that the project will have an impact on housing. Employees are expected to be drawn from the surrounding existing population base. 13. Tran=rtation /Circulation: Since the project site is within an approved shopping center where traffic and circulation patterns have been reviewed and established. It is not anticipated that the project will have any negative environmental impacts. 14. Public Services: Due to the relative size of the project, it is not anticipated that there will be any negative environmental impacts on public services. 15. Energy: It is not anticipated that there will be any significant increase in the amount of fuel or energy necessary to implement or operate the proposed project. ENVASS.006 3 16. Utilities: It is not anticipated that any significant environmental impact will be created in the area of public utilities. The car wash can be expected to use water. 17. Human Health: There is a possibility that a health hazard or potential health hazard could be created as a result of the proposed use due to some of the materials and substances utilized. However, the possibility of such a situation arising is minimal. MITIGATION MEASURES: The project will be required to comply with all applicable City, County, and State regulations governing safety and health. 18. Aesthetics: The project is well designed and designed to be compatible with the shopping center. Therefore, no negative environmental impacts are anticipated. 19. Recreation: Due to the commercial nature of the project it is not anticipated that there will be any negative environmental impact created on recreational facilities. 20. Cultural Resources: The proposed project is not anticipated to have any impact on cultural resources. The site was monitored by an archaeologist during the grading period, and the required documentation required has been completed. ENVASS.006 4 z TRI ESTABLISHED IN 191!

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION GENERAL DESCRIPTION The project consists of the construction of a automotive lubrication shop and coin operated self service car wash on a .69 acre site within the 111 La Quinta Shopping Center. The site is located on the west side of Adams Street approximately 350 feet north of Highway 111. Presently Wal -Mart, Albertson's, AM/PM, have opened along with several other small shops. The Automobile Club is presently constructing an office near the intersection of Washington Street and Highway 111. PAST ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: During the review of Specific Plan 89 -014 for the shopping center in 1989 and 1990, the City processed Environmental Assessment 89 -150. A mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and adopted by the City Council on April 17, 1990. The master study examined the impacts of the project (618,000± sq. ft. on 60+ acres). Therefore this past review can be used in the updated review of this case. The attached Environmental Assessment is supplement to the original document. A Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is recommended. ENVASS.006 1 rowu COACHELLA VALLEY POWER DIVISION 81.600 AVENUE 58 • P.O.BOX 1080 *LA QUINTA.

The Imperial Irrigation District (District) has a restricted height easement of 21 feet maximum on any landscaping along Adams Street adjacent to the 111 La Quinta Center. Therefore, we strongly object to the use of California Pepper, Mexican Fan Palm, Chilean Mesquite, Sonoran Palo Verde, and any other type of trees or vegetation that can obtain a height of 21 feet or greater. 2. This project will not, in itself, have a significant impact or adverse effect on the District's power system. However, combined with all of the other proposed additions in the area, the peak demand that would be generated by a project of this nature would result in the need for additional generation, transmission, substation(s) and distribution facilities. Also, additional generation purchases to provide service to the development will impact future power rates in the District's service area. 3. The District will be installing a padmount transformer approximately 100 feet to the south of this location. The load used for this facility was 600 amps at 120/208 volts. 'If the load size or voltage is different than stated here, the District needs to be notified immediately. 4. No mention as to the location of the service panel. It is assumed to be 'in the equipment room between the lube bays and the self wash bays. If the panel is to be located in a different area, the District needs to be notified immediately. • City of Indio -2- December 1, 1992 Should you have any questions, please contact me at 398 -5854.

CONAPRVL.073 4 r I STAFF REPORT PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: JANUARY 26, 1993 CASE NO.: PLOT PLAN 92 -494 (EA 92 -248) APPLICANT: THE LUBE SHOP (PETER STURGEON) ARCHITECT: GARY KNUTSON, ARCHITECT REQUEST: APPROVAL OF PLANS TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF AUTOMOBILE LUBRICATION SHOP AND COIN OPERATED SELF CAR WASH IN THE 111 LA QUINTA SHOPPING CENTER. LOCATION: WEST SIDE OF ADAMS STREET APPROXIMATELY 350 NORTH OF HIGHWAY 111. GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION: MIXED REGIONAL COMMERCIAL WITH A NON - RESIDENTIAL OVERLAY. ZONING: C -P -S (SCENIC HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL) SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USE: NORTH: C -P -S - PART OF SHOPPING CENTER. SOUTH: C -P -S - SHELL SERVICE STATION AND ANOTHER PAD BUILDING WHICH ARE PART OF THE SHOPPING CENTER. EAST: C -P -S - VACANT LAND. WEST: C -P -S - PARKING AREA FOR SHOPPING CENTER. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 92 -248 WAS PREPARED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS APPLICATION. THE INITIAL STUDY INDICATES THAT NO SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS WILL OCCUR WHICH CANNOT BE MITIGATED. THEREFORE, A NEGATIVE DECLARATION HAS BEEN PREPARED AND IS PROPOSED FOR ADOPTION. PCST.104 1 001 $I I BACKGROUND: The site is one of the pad locations approved by Specific Plan 89 -014 (Transpacific Development Company). The Applicant wishes to construct and operate an automotive lubrication shop and coin operated self car, wash on the property which is located approximately midway between the new Wal -Mart and Highway 111 adjacent to Adams Street. Presently, the Applicant operates a similar lubrication shop in Cathedral City. Generally the services consist of oil changes, checking of vital fluids, chassis lubrications, and maintenance inspections. PROTECT DESCRIPTION: The automobile lubrication operation is designed as a drive -thru facility with three lubrication bays which are entered from the south and exited to the north. There are no automobile hoists or lifts involved. Cars are driven onto racks and worked on from excavated pits below the cars. The self service car wash is located to the west of the lubrication bays and is attached as part of the same building. The cars again enter from the south and exit to the north.. Across the aisle will be six parking spaces which can be used for drying the automobiles. Additionally, three vacuum islands are placed adjacent to these spaces. Due to the nature of the uses, the building is laid out in a long "L" shape with a small office area at the southeast end of the building. Adjacent to the office portion of the use, there is an outdoor covered patio area provided. At the northeast end of the building is an outdoor storage area for used oil and filters (to be recycled). North of the building at the westerly end is an enclosed trash enclosure in a planter area. North of the easterly end of the building a six foot high masonry wall is provided to provide visual screening and buffering from the proposed preschool to the north. This wall is located within a planter area. The total building square footage is proposed to be 3,740 square feet with the lubrication shop portion consisting of 2,560 square feet and the car wash portion consisting of 1,180 square feet. CIRCULATION PATTERN: To the south of the site runs a driveway which leads from the parking lot to Adams Street. Driveway access from this aisle is provided to the site. To the west of the project runs a driveway aisle running north to south. To both the north and south of the building, driveway aisles will connect to this parking aisle. To the north of the site, parking spaces and a large planter area adjacent to Adams Street are to be provided. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN: The building has been designed to be compatible with the shopping center. The architect has designed it to be architecturally similar to the approved Shell service station at the corner of PCST.104 2 Ircp r Adams Street and Highway 111 to the south. Both of these uses will be visible from Adams Street. The building is basically a flat roof structure which utilizes partial arches and stepped wall treatment. In the center of the south elevation between the car wash and lubrication shop is one rounded arch feature which is similar to that utilized within the shopping center. The exterior materials are proposed to be a combination of stucco and split -face block walls and facias with split -face columns and some tile accents. The three lubrication bays would be provided with painted roll-up doors to match the adjacent block columns. For the most part, materials and colors match or are very similar to those used in the shopping center. This project proposes to introduce split -face block to the shopping center. To date, this material has not been utilized for any of the projects. The split -face block is proposed to be painted. LANDSCAPIN G: As a part of the site plan, the Applicant has shown some conceptual landscaping. The plan shows locations and species of trees which are proposed to be utilized. The trees utilized are ones that are proposed for use within the shopping center area. The plan shows a curbside sidewalk. The sidewalk which was recently installed is a meandering sidewalk. Therefore, the landscaping plans when they are fully prepared will need to take into account the meandering sidewalk. Additionally, the power poles and utility lines which run adjacent to Adams Street will need to be shown on the plans and will influence the landscape design with regards to location of large trees. DESIGN REVIEW BOARD ACTION: The Design Review Board reviewed this request at their meeting of January 6, 1993. The Design Review Board did discuss the architectural style and project but had no major problems with the proposal. The Design Review Board on a 7 -0 vote moved to recommend approval of the project subject to conditions pertaining to approval of the sign program, exterior colors, landscaping plan approval, trash enclosure relocation (this relocation has been done on most recently submitted site plan), and provision of screen walls (this has been incorporated in most recently submitted site plan). ANALYSIS: The Planning and Development Department. feels that the basic project is conceptually acceptable. Staff does believe that colors utilized on the project should exactly match those used in the shopping center. The incorporation of split -face block in this project is acceptable to Staff provided it is approved by the master developer. While it has not been proposed to be utilized in any previous approvals, Staff does feel that due to the long linear nature of the project it could be utilized in some of the buildings along the easterly side of the project to improve the existing architectural look of the easterly end of the shopping center.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION GENERAL DESCRIPTION The project consists of the construction of a automotive lubrication shop and coin operated self service car wash on a .69 acre site within the 111 La Quinta Shopping Center. The site is located on the west side of Adams Street approximately 350 feet north of Highway 111. Presently Wal -Mart, Albertson's, AM /PM, have opened along with several other small shops. The Automobile Club is presently constructing an office near the intersection of Washington Street and Highway 111. PAST ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: During the review of Specific Plan 89 -014 for the shopping center in 1989 and 1990, the City processed Environmental Assessment 89 -150. A mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and adopted by the City Council on April 17, 1990. The master study examined the impacts of the project (618,000± sq. ft. on 60+ acres). Therefore this past review can be used in the updated review of this case. The attached Environmental Assessment is supplement to the original document. A Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is recommended. ENVASS.006 1 017 PLOT PLAN 92 -494 EA 92 -248 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION EXPLANATION OF "YES" AND "MAYBE" QUESTIONS AND MITIGATION MEASURES: 1. Earth: No environmental impacts are expected with regard to soil or erosion. The site has been graded with the driveways, same buildings, and parking lot areas installed. 2. Air: It is possible that the lubrication shop may create objectionable odors. However, any odors created should be of minor impact and rare in occurrence. MITIGATION MEASURES: The project shall be required to comply with all City, County, and State requirements regarding use of oils and other lubricants. 3. Water: It is not anticipated that there will be any impact on water or other drainage concerns. The building will be required to provide drainage to approved drainage ways. 4. Plant Life: Since the site has been graded and asphalt installed around the site, there is no plant life existing on the property. 5. Animal Life: Due to the grading of the site and installation of adjacent asphalt areas, there is no animal life existing on the site. The master developer has paid the required $600 per acre for payment to the Nature Conservancy for impacts created on the Fringe - Toed Lizard. 6. Noise: There is a possibility that there may be some periodic increase in noise levels. There will be some increase in noise levels during the construction. There may be some periodic noise increased due to car washing and the servicing of automobiles. However, this is anticipated to be of very short duration and low impact. MITIGATION MEASURES: The project shall be required to comply with any applicable noise requirements and restrictions of the City, including construction of a six foot high block wall north of the lubrication bays. ENVASS.006 2 M111111 7. Light and Glare: It is anticipated that the project will create new light sources in and surrounding the building. Any new lighting constructed will be in conjunction with the proposed project. MITIGATION MEASURES: The project will be required to comply with the Dark Sky Ordinance and provide lighting which has minimum impacts on adjacent properties. 8. Land Use: The project will not result in the alteration of the planned commercial use of this property. 9. Natural Resources: It is not anticipated that the construction and operation of the use will result in an unusual increase in the rate or use of any natural resource. The car wash, being self operated will utilize a relatively small amount of water. Patrons of this facility normally would wash their cars at home if they did not use this facility. 10. Risk of Upset: - There is a possibility of an explosion or a release of hazardous substances, such as oil or chemicals. However, such risk is considered low provided the operation is run properly and safely. MITIGATION MEASURES: The project shall be required to be operated with all City, County, and State regulations which should insure safety from explosion or release of hazardous substances. 11. Population: It is not anticipated that the project will have an impact on population distribution location, etc. The number of employees is anticipated to be low and should be drawn from the local existing population base. 12. Housing: It is not anticipated that the project will have an impact on housing. Employees are expected to be drawn from the surrounding existing population base. 13. Transportation /Circulation: Since the project site is within an approved shopping center where traffic and circulation patterns have been reviewed and established. It is not anticipated that the project will have any negative environmental impacts. 14. Public Services: Due to the relative size of the project, it is not anticipated that there will be any negative environmental impacts on public services. 15. Energy: It is not anticipated that there will be any significant increase in the amount of fuel or energy necessary to implement or operate the proposed project. ENVASS.006 3 J 16. Utilities: It is not anticipated that any significant environmental impact will be created in the area of public utilities. The car wash can be expected to use water. 17. Human Health: There is a possibility that a health hazard or potential health hazard could be created as a result of the proposed use due to some of the materials and substances utilized. However, the possibility of such a situation arising is minimal. MITIGATION MEASURES: The project will be required to comply with all applicable City, County, and State regulations governing safety and health. 18. Aesthetics: The project is well designed and designed to be compatible with the shopping center. Therefore, no negative environmental impacts are anticipated. 19. Recreation: Due to the commercial nature of the project it is not anticipated that there will be any negative environmental impact created on recreational facilities. 20. Cultural Resources: The proposed project is not anticipated to have any impact on cultural resources. The site was monitored by an archaeologist during the grading period, and the required documentation required has been completed.

However, combined with all of the other proposed additions in the area, the peak demand that would be generated by a project of this nature would result in the need for additional generation, transmission, substation(s) and distribution facilities. Also, additional generation purchases to provide service to the development will impact future power rates in the District's service area. 3. The District will be installing a padmount transformer approximately 100 feet to the south of this location. The load used for this facility was 600 amps at 120/208 volts. If the load size or voltage is different than stated here, the District needs to be notified immediately. 4. No mention as to the location of the service panel. It is assumed to be in the equipment room between the lube bays and the self wash bays. If the panel is to be located in a different area, the District needs to be notified immediately. 022 City of Indio -2- December 1, 1992 Should you have any questions, please contact me at 398 -5854.

PUBLISH ONCE ON JANUARY 16, 1993 CS /HNPC.078 � -- �,? ,� z., t • ' • STAFF REPORT DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEETING DATE: JANUARY 6, 1993 PROJECT: PLOT PLAN 92 -494 APPLICANT: THE LUBE SHOP (PETER STURGEON) ARCHITECT: GARY KNUTSON, ARCHITECT REQUEST: APPROVAL OF BUILDING PLANS AND CONCEPTUAL LANDSCAPING PLANS FOR LUBE SHOP AND COIN OPERATED SELF CAR WASH IN 111 LA QUINTA SHOPPING CENTER. LOCATION: WEST SIDE OF ADAMS STREET APPROXIMATELY 350 FEET NORTH OF HIGHWAY 111. BACKGROUND: The Applicant wishes to construct and operate an automotive lube shop and coin operated self car wash on the property which is located on the west side of Adams approximately midway between the new Wal -Mart and Highway 111. The site is one of the pad locations approved by Specific Plan 89 -014. Presently the Applicant operates a similar lube shop in Cathedral City. Generally, services consist of oil changes, checking of vital fluids, chassis lubrications, and maintenance inspections. PROTECT DESCRIPTION: The operation is designed as a drive -thru type of a layout with three lubrication bays whereby you enter from the south and exit to the north. Four car wash bays are laid out in a similar fashion to the west of the lubrication bays. Due to the nature of the layout, the building is a somewhat long "L" staped structure. The building consists of 3,740 square feet of area with the lube shop portion consisting of 2,560 square feet and car wash portion consisting of 1,180 square feet. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN: The building has been designed to be compatible with the shopping center in that the building has been designed to be architecturally similar to the approved Shell service station at the corner of Adams and Highway 111 to the south. The structure is basically a flat roofed structure which .DRBST.076 1 utilizes arches and stepped wall features. The exterior materials are proposed to be a combination of stucco and split -faced block walls and facias with split -faced columns and. some tile accent. The three lubrication bays would be provided with painted roll -up doors to match the building. The car wash bays would be left open with no doors. Two vacuum islands would be provided on the paved area to the north of the car wash bays. Part of the building on the south side at the east end would be a covered patio structure which would be utilized as a waiting area. On the north side of the building at the east end the plan shows an enclosed storage container area and trash enclosure area. The trash enclosure will. need to be relocated since the trash company has notified the City and Applicant that they cannot and will not service the trash enclosure in its present location since it would require the trash truck to back out of the area for a distance of approximately 120 feet. An alternative trash location will need to be found and approved. LANDSCAPIN G: The Applicant has submitted as part of the site plan, a conceptual landscaping plan. The only plant material actually designated are the trees which are trees which are being utilized elsewhere in the shopping center or along the perimeter. It will be necessary for the Applicant to develop preliminary landscaping plans for review and approval by the Design Review Board prior to final working drawings for the landscaping and irrigation being provided. The landscaping plans show a curb -side sidewalk. The sidewalk which was recently installed is a meandering sidewalk. It should also be noted that major power poles and utility lines run along the edge of Adams Street and will influence the landscape design. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS: Staff feels that the general architectural design and landscape concept is acceptable. There will be a need to refine certain items or provide further clarification. Staff would recommend that the following conditions be imposed by the Design Review Board: 1. The exterior colors utilized on the building shall match those used in the shopping center and be approved by Staff at the time working drawings are submitted. 2. A preliminary landscaping plan showing the existing meandering sidewalk shall be prepared and submitted to the Design Review Board for review and approval prior to final working drawings for the landscaping and irrigation being prepared. Plant material shall be the same or similar to that used along the perimeter or parking area of the project. Landscaping immediately adjacent to the building in high visibility areas may be modified to reflect the desires of the Applicant. The landscaping plan shall show the location of the power poles and utility lines along the east side of the site. 3. The trash enclosure shall be relocated as required by Waste Management of the Desert. The revised location shall be approved by Staff and Waste Management. The location of the trash enclosure shall take into account traffic visibility and aesthetics. DRBST.076 2 4. Due to the orientation of the service bays, Staff feels that the bays facing north should be screened somewhat from view of the property to the north. The site to the north is proposed to be a daycare center and a part of this project. A 6 -foot high decorative masonry wall should be provided within the landscape area so that it provides screening in front of the three lube bays at a minimum. It may be possible to incorporate this wall as an extension of the container storage area. The wall should be located within the landscape area north of the site. RECONUMT,NDATION: Staff would recommend that the Design Review Board review the plans in light of the above Staff comments and recommended conditions. Should you feel the plans are acceptable, your recommendation for approval will be forwarded to the Planning Commission. Attachments: 1. Vicinity map 2.

The Imperial Irrigation District (District) has a restricted height easement of 21 feet maximum on any landscaping along Adams Street adjacent to the 111 La Quinta Center. Therefore, we strongly object to the use of California Pepper, Mexican Fan Palm, Chilean Mesquite, Sonoran Palo Verde, and any other type of trees or vegetation that can obtain a-height of 21 feet or greater. 2. This project will not, in itself, have a significant impact or adverse effect on the District's power system. However, combined with all of the other proposed additions in the area, the peak demand that would be generated by a project of this nature would result in the need for additional generation, transmission, substation(s) and distribution facilities: Also, additional generation purchases to provide service to the development will impact future power rates in the District's service area. 3. The District will be installing a padmount transformer approximately 100 feet to the south of this location. The load used for this facility was 600 amps at 120/208 volts. If the load size or voltage is different than stated here, the District needs to be notified immediately. 4. No mention as to the location of the service panel. It is assumed to be in the equipment room between the lube bays and the self wash bays. If the panel is to be located in a different area, the District needs to be notified immediately. City of Indio -2- December 1, 1992 Should you have any questions, please contact me at 398 -5854. Yours very truly, THOMAS F. LYONS, JR.

With the current location we would have to back out an extreme distance. Since most of our accidents occur while .backing up, we would appreciate a relocation of this trash enclosure. Our preference would be an area where backing up would be minimal or non - existent. We appreciate this opportunity to comment on the proposed project. If we can be of any further assistance please let us know. raicovich Operations Manager JAB /sam b GLEN J.
