APPLICANT: WINCHESTER ASSET MANAGEMENT (FOR LA QUINTA GOLF PROPERTIES) LOCATION: SOUTH AND WEST OF LAKE CAHUILLA AT THE • WESTERLY TERMINUS OF SCHWABACKER ROAD. ISSUES: Before the City Council at,this time is a report of Planning Commission action approving the subject application. "The Quarry", of which these facilities are a part, was approved by the City Council on May 4, 1993. The Conditions of Approval reviewed by the. Design Review Board and Planning Commission require approval of the maintenance building as a plot plan application. The security guardhouse is not required to obtain Design Review Board and Planning Commission approval. However, since they were filed at the same time, the security guardhouse was included in this plot plan application. BACKGROUND: General The applicant has submitted architectural and landscaping plans for the maintenance building and security guardhouse. These plans include the floor plans, roof plans, exterior elevations,. section views, preliminary grading plan, and preliminary landscaping plans. The maintenance building is located near the northeast corner of the project on the southerly .half of the property which includes most of the golf course and all of the residential. units. The security guardhouse is located on Schwabacker Road which is the' entrance into the project site from Avenue 58. MEMOSS.167 . 002 Maintenance Building The maintenance building site is an irregularly shaped rectangular piece of property located near the northeast corner of the gravel pit site adjacent to Cahuilla Park Drive. The maintenance building itself is located near the westerly end. of the site. In addition to the building there will be an above ground fuel storage area, a wash down area, storage bins, a large recessed trash location, and parking for 20 automobiles. Access to this facility is provided near the easterly end of the site from the internal perimeter street. The applicant has also provided a vehicular entrance from Cahuilla Park Drive. The architecture of the maintenance building is nondescript. The applicant has designed it as a rectangular box with a wide overhang over the east side of the building. The building will be a flat roof structure with stucco walls that are painted in contrasting colors. The structure is 16 feet tall and would consist of approximately 6250 square feet of floor space. The applicant has designed the building in a nondescript style because the grading of the site it will cause the building not to be visible from within the project site. However, it appears that the building will be visible from some parts of Cahuilla Park Drive. The applicant has submitted a preliminary landscaping plan for the maintenance building area. Along Cahuilla Park Drive the applicant proposes to plan low water usage and desert type landscaping materials. The applicant proposes to plant materials which will provide screening of the maintenance building from Cahuilla Park Drive. Landscaping on the inside portions of- the site will help insure that it will not be visible from within the project. Security Guardhouse The security guardhouse is located along the entry road from Avenue 58. According to the applicant, the westerly 850 feet of this road adjacent to the project site is private. The proposed guardhouse is located 730 feet east of the main project site. The proposed improvements will consist of a security guardhouse, a security car parking stall, and security gates. The guardhouse is approximately 12' X 20' in area and. include an office and restroom. The architecture is similar to the clubhouse with a blue /grey concrete slate tile roof, wood trim, and columns, and a natural stone exterior and raised planter. The security guardhouse would be placed on a planter in the middle of the road. There would be two lanes in and one lane leading out of the project site adjacent to this facility. Attached is the Planning Commission report for July 27, 1993, which provides additional information on this application. ANALYSIS: Design Review Board Action The Design Review Board considered this request at its meeting of July 7, 1993. The Board felt that the maintenance building was acceptable provided it was not visible from either the project site or Cahuilla Park Drive. The Board felt that landscaping along Cahuilla Park Drive was necessary to provide adequate screening along that side of the site. • In reviewing the security guardhouse, the Board felt that while the applicant was trying to achieve an "understated elegance ", the resulting building was simple and lacked character or elegance. The Board felt that the guardhouse architecture was mediocre and not up to par with that of the clubhouse structure which is located -to the west within the gravel pit site. Planning Commission Action The Planning Commission considered this item at its meeting of July 27, 1993. It was noted that the Design Review Board had requested a redesign of the guardhouse. After a presentation by the applicant and short discussion, the Planning Commission unanimously approved the application for the maintenance building and guardhouse, subject to conditions. They determined that the guardhouse design was acceptable and similar in size, scope, and concept to many other larger country clubs guardhouses.' However, the Commission removed the columns from the guardhouse. RECOMMENDATION: By Minute Motion 93- move to accept for file this' report of action taken by the Planning Commission. Attachments: 1.

LOCATION: THE QUARRY LOCATED SOUTH AND WEST OF LAKE CAHUILLA BACKGROUND: The subject property is "The Quarry" which was approved by the City Council on May 4, 1993. The project includes a maintenance building and security guardhouse. The maintenance building is located near the northeast corner of the project (southerly half of the property which includes most of the golf course and all. of the residential units). This location is an alternative to the originally approved location near the southeast comer of the site. Staff is presently processing an amendment to the-parcel map and tentative tract map to allow the relocated maintenance area The City Council will consider this amendment on July 26, 1993. At this time, Staff feels that the revised location will be approved. The security guardhouse entry is located on Schwabacker Road which is the entrance into the project site from 58th Avenue. They Conditions of Approval require that the Design Review Board and Planning Commission review and approve the plans. Additionally, the conditions stipulate that the architecture be indigenous to the surrounding desert environment through the use of style, colors, and materials. The applicant has submitted plans for the maintenance building. These plans include a plot plan, elevation plans, preliminary landscaping plans, and section views. The applicant has also submitted plans for the security guardhouse entry on Schwabacker Road. The Conditions of Approval allow this to be approved by Staff. However, since they were submitted with the maintenance .facility, Staff has chosen to forward the plans to the" Design Review Board and Planning Commission for review. The plans for the guard house include the plot plan, elevation plans, and landscaping plan. PCST.136 1 nn� SITE DESIGN: i 0 Maintenance Building The maintenance building site is an irregular rectangular site consisting of approximately 1.3 acres. The proposed location is near the northeast corner of the gravel pit site adjacent to Cahuilla Park Drive which leads into Lake Cahuilla. The maintenance building is located near the westerly end of the site. In addition to the maintenance building, there will be a above ground fuel storage area, a wash down area; storage bins, and a large recessed trash location, and parking for 20 automobiles. Access to the facility is provided at the easterly end from the internal street. The applicant has also showed a vehicular entrance from Cahuilla Park Road. Security Gate House The security gate house is located along the entry road from 58th Avenue. According to the applicants, the westerly 850 feet of this road adjacent to the project site is private. The proposed security gate house is located approximately 730 feet east of the main project site: � The proposed improvements will consist of a security gate house, a parking stall, and security gates. The guard house is approximately 12' X 20' in area and would include an office area and restroom facility. The security gate house would be placed on a planter in the middle of the road. At the east and west ends of the gate house, there would be a raised rock veneer planter. On the east elevation planter, the applicant proposes a sign which would read "The Quarry at La Quinta ". ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN: Maintenance Building The architecture of the maintenance building is nondescript. The applicant has designed it as rectangular box with a wide overhang over the east elevation. The building will be a flat roof structure with stucco walls that are painted in contrasting colors. The structure is 16 -feet tall and would consist of approximately 6250 -feet of floor space. The applicant has ,indicated that they designed the building in this manner because the site will be graded so that it is not visible. The applicant has indicated on his elevations cross sections of adjacent property lines and walls, except for the area adjacent to Cahuilla Park Drive. For this area, the applicant has submitted a supplemental 11" X 17" sheet which shows the relationship adjacent to Cahuilla Park Drive. The colors proposed for the building consist of a light beige/light cool grey color for the plaster areas above 11 -feet of the building .wall, with the area below the 11 -foot mark to be a light medium beige /light cool grey in color. Security Gate House The architecture of the security gate house is similar to that used in the clubhouse in that the materials will match. The 10'6 "± high building will have a hip roof with the same blue /grey concrete slate roof used on the clubhouse. At the meeting of July 7, 1993, the architect presented a revised elevation plan indicating that the walls instead of being stucco would be veneered in the same stone which is utilized on the clubhouse building and was proposed to be utilized around raised planters at the east and west ends of the guardhouse building. The raised planters at the east and west ends of the building. will be .a natural rock veneer to match that utilized on the clubhouse. As a result of the Design Review Board review on July 7, 1993, the applicant has submitted revised architectural plans for the guardhouse. The revised plans have partially taken into account the comments of the Design Review Board (see section on Design Review Board action below). In summary, the applicant has modified the windows and trim around them to be similar to those utilized in the clubhouse, added two columns to the east and west sides of the buildings similar to the clubhouse columns, and retained the stone veneer exterior *for the building. A perspective view with the vehicular security gates in the rear has been prepared to show an overall view. Stone veneer columns are shown supporting the gates. A very conceptual design for the gates is indicated in this drawing. The applicant has indicated that the design for the gates has not yet been. finalized. The revised plans do not indicate any use of a trellis structure or additional' security car parking as discussed by the Design Review Board at its meeting. SIGNAGE: Security Gate House The applicant has shown signage for the west side of the gate house on a short block wall. The plans indicate a 1 -foot high by 4'6" long sign which would state "The Quarry at La Quinta" on two lines. The signage is proposed to be brass or other metal.- LANDSCAPING: Maintenance Building The applicant has submitted a landscaping plan indicating plant types, quantities, and sizes. While most plants used are low water usage, it does not appear that indigenous plants are utilized. The maintenance building area is planted with a mixture of low water usage plants and desert type materials. The trees proposed vary from Bottle trees, citrus trees, and California Fan Palms to Chilean Mesquites and African Sumac. The easterly end of the property will contain PCST.136 3 008 • a well site and is proposed to be covered with Palm Springs Gold gravel. Along Cahuilla Park Road, - Chilean Mesquite are proposed to be used. The Bottle trees are used at the west end of the property as a buffer between the maintenance building and the adjacent residential lot. Security Guardhouse The landscaping adjacent to the entry is a variety of low water usage plants and desert type plants. However, few if any indigenous plants are proposed to be used. Additionally some lawn is proposed to be used along the road between -the guardhouse and interior road to the west. Flagstone paving with concrete bands are proposed to be used around the guardhouse and at the easterly .end of the private road area. The plans indicate that along the north and south side of the private road right -of -way between the security vehicle gates and interior street to the west a wrought iron fence will be provided. ANALYSIS: Design Review Boar& Action The Design Review Board considered this request at their meeting of July 7, 1993. With regards to the maintenance building, discussion centered on whether the building would be visible from surrounding properties. Due to the excavation of the pad elevation for the maintenance building, the applicant felt that the building would not be visible from his property. With regards to visibility- from Cahuilla Park Drive and areas to the north, it was felt that it would be partially visible along the roof line. The applicant indicated that along Cahuilla Park Drive, landscaping would be provided which would shield view of the maintenance. building from the road. The Board felt that although the architecture was nondescript, it would be acceptable in this location due to the recessed grading and proposed screening. In reviewing the security guardhouse, the Board felt that while the applicant was trying to achieve an "understated elegance", the resulting building was simple but lacked character or elegance. The Board felt that the guardhouse architecture was mediocre and not up to par with that of the clubhouse structure which is located to the west within the gravel pit site. The applicant did not submit plans for the steel fencing that is proposed to run along the north and south boundaries of the roadway or the entry gate design. The Board felt that not having this information was a hindrance in reviewing the guardhouse. It was suggested that possibly columns and a wood trellis be provided along with the designs for the various gates and fences. It was also felt that more than one parking space was necessary in this area. It was noted that there was room to provide one or two additional spaces near the guardhouse. The Board felt that a perspective drawing which showed the guardhouse, gates and fencing, landscaping, and other improvements would be helpful in reviewing this request. With regards to landscaping, it was felt that the use of grass should be eliminated completely along this entry drive. PCST.136 4 0 OQv The Board took action to recommend approval of the maintenance building subject to adequate screening being, provided by landscaping along Cahuilla.Park Drive, and continued consideration of the guardhouse structure. The Board felt that the applicant should revise the guardhouse plans providing a perspective view and showing landscaping, gates and fences, and additional parking, and a revised guardhouse building. The Board suggested that the applicant look at providing a trellis structure and columns around the building. This motion carried on a 6 -0 vote with Boardmember Rice being absent. • RECOMMENDATION: The' Planning Commission has several options which it can take regarding this application. Those options are as follows: 1. Refer the matter back to the Design Review Board for further consideration of the guardhouse structure based on the revised plans. 2. Approve the application for the maintenance building and guardhouse subject to conditions the Planning Commission deems appropriate. 3. To approve the application for the maintenance building and refer the guardhouse back to.the Design Review Board.

I NA Security Gate House The applicant has submitted for the west side of the gate house on a short block wall. The plans indicate a 1 -foot high by 4'6' long sign which would state 'The Quarry" at U Quinta on two lines. The signage is proposed to be brass. LANDSCAPING: Maintenance Building The applicant has submitted a landscaping plan indicating plant types, quantities, and sizes. While most plants used are low water usage, it does not appear that indigenous plants are utilized. The maintenance building area is planted with a mixture of low water usage plants and desert type materials. The trees proposed vary from Bottle trees, citrus trees, and California Fan Palms to Chilean Mesquites and African Sumac. The easterly end of the property will contain a well site and is proposed to be gravel with Palm Springs Gold. Along Cahuilla Park Road, Chilean Mesquite are proposed to be used. The Bottle trees are used at the west end of the property as a buffer between the maintenance building and an adjacent residential lot. Security Guardhouse The landscaping adjacent to the entry is a variety of low water usage plants and desert type plants. However, few if any indigenous plants are proposed to be used. Additionally some lawn is proposed to be used along the road between the guardhouse and interior road. Flagstone paving with concrete bands are proposed to be used around the guardhouse and at the easterly end of the private road area. The plans indicate that along the north and south side of the private road right -of -way a wrought iron fence will be provided. ANALYSIS: Staff has reviewed the plans and offers the following comments: 1. The final site plan layout for the security gatehouse and drive around it will need to be reviewed by the Engineering Department and Fire Marshal to make sure it works properly. 2. Overall, Staff would like to see more use of indigenous landscaping. While a few varieties are desert type landscaping almost none of it is indigenous to the surrounding canyon area. It should be noted that in the golf course and arras closer to the golf course, Staff will expect indigenous landscaping as originally proposed when the project was approved. 3. Along Cahuilla Park Drive, the applicant has indicated landscaping. Presently along the street there are existing Blue Palo Verde trees (Cercidium floridum) along with other. desert shrubbery. New landscaping along this street should be similar to the existing planting. Therefore, the landscape plan should show the existing trees and be designed to be compatible with them. 4. As noted, the architecture for the maintenance building is nondescript and box -like. The applicant has indicated that as designed the building will not be visible. Staff feels that while it may not be visible from inside the property it will be visible from sections of Cahuilla Park drive which is the street that leads into Lake Cahuilla. Therefore, it may be appropriate to provide some architectural treatment to the building. It should be noted that the present grading of the property is not the finish grade for the maintenance building site. The applicant has indicated that existing grading will be lowered approximately ten feet in the area of the maintenance building site. 5. This plot plan application will be forwarded to the Planning Commission for final action. RECUMNfENDED CONDITIONS: 1. The gate on Cahuilla Park Drive from the maintenance building shall be solid and decorative in nature. The plans for the gate shall be included with the final working drawings. 2. Trash provisions and design shall be reviewed and approved by Waste Management of the Desert prior to issuance of any building permit for the maintenance building. 3.

DATE: CASE NO: APPLICANT: ARCHITECT: REQUEST: LOCATION: BACKGROUND: STAFF REPORT PLANNING COMNIISSION MEETING JULY 279 1993 PLOT PLAN 93 -504 WINCHESTER ASSET MANAGEMENT FOR (LA QUINTA GOLF PROPERTIES) MONIGHAN ASSOCIATES, ARCHITECTS APPROVAL OF PLANS FOR MAINTENANCE BUILDING AND SECURITY GUARDHOUSE. THE QUARRY LOCATED SOUTH AND WEST OF LAKE CAHUILLA The subject property is "The Quarry" which was approved by the City Council on May 4, 1993. The project includes a maintenance building and security guardhouse. The maintenance building is located near the northeast corner of the project (southerly half of the property which includes most of the golf course and all of the residential units). This location is an alternative to the originally approved location near the southeast corner of the site. Staff is presently processing an amendment to the parcel map and tentative tract map to allow the relocated maintenance area The City Council will consider this amendment on July 26, 1993. At this time, Staff feels that the revised location will be approved. The security guardhouse entry is located on Schwabacker Road which is the entrance into the project site from 58th Avenue. The Conditions of Approval require that the Design Review Board and Planning Commission review and approve the plans. Additionally, the conditions stipulate that the architecture be indigenous to the surrounding desert environment through the use of style, colors, and materials. The applicant has submitted plans for the maintenance building. These plans include a plot plan, elevation plans, preliminary landscaping plans, and section views. The applicant has also submitted plans. for the security guardhouse entry on Schwabacker. Road. The Conditions of Approval allow this to be approved by Staff. However, since they were submitted with the maintenance facility, Staff has chosen to forward the plans to the Design Review Board and Planning Commission for review. The plans for the guard house include the plot plan, elevation plans, and landscaping plan. PCST.136 SITE DESIGN: Maintenance Building The maintenance building site is an irregular rectangular site consisting of approximately 1.3 acres. The proposed location is near the northeast corner of the gravel pit site adjacent to Cahuilla Park Drive which leads into Lake Cahuilla. The maintenance building is located near the westerly end of the site. In addition to the maintenance building, there will be a above ground fuel storage area, a wash down area, storage bins, and a large recessed trash location, and parking for 20 automobiles. Access to the facility is provided at the easterly end from the internal street. The applicant has also showed a vehicular entrance from Cahuilla Park Road. Security Gate House The security gate house is located along the entry road from 58th Avenue. According to the applicants, the westerly 850 feet of this road adjacent to the project site is private. The proposed security gate house is located approximately 730 feet east of the main project site. The proposed improvements will consist of a security gate house, a parking stall, and security gates. The guard house is approximately 12' X 20' in area and would include an office area and restroom facility. The security gate house would be placed on a planter in the middle of the road. At the east and west ends of the gate house, there would be a raised rock veneer planter. On the east elevation planter, the applicant proposes a sign which would read 'The Quarry at La Quinta". ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN: Maintenance Building The architecture of the maintenance building is nondescript. The applicant has designed it as rectangular box with a wide overhang over the east elevation. The building will be a flat roof structure with stucco walls that are painted in contrasting colors. The structure is 16 -feet tall and would consist of approximately 6250 -feet of floor space. The applicant has indicated that they designed the building in this manner because the site will. be graded so that it is not visible. The applicant has indicated on his elevations cross sections of adjacent property lines and walls, except for the area adjacent to Cahuilla Park Drive. For this area, the applicant has submitted a supplemental 11" X 17" sheet which . shows the relationship adjacent to Cahuilla Park Drive. The colors proposed for the building consist of a light beige /light cool grey color for the plaster areas above 11 -feet of the building wall, with the area below the 11 -foot mark to be a light medium beige /light cool grey in color. PCST.136 0 0 Security Gate' House The architecture of the security gate house is similar to that used in the clubhouse in that the materials will match. The 10'6 "± high building will have a hip roof with the same blue/grey concrete slate roof used on the clubhouse. At the meeting of July 7, 1993, the architect presented a revised elevation plan indicating that the walls instead of being stucco would be veneered in the same stone which is utilized on the clubhouse building and was proposed to be utilized around raised planters at the east and west ends of the guardhouse building. The raised planters at the east and west ends of the building will be a natural rock veneer to match that utilized on the clubhouse. As a result of the Design Review Board review on July 7, 1993, the applicant has submitted revised architectural plans for the guardhouse. The revised plans have partially taken into account the comments of the Design Review Board (see section on Design Review Board action below).* In summary, the applicant has modified the windows and trim around them to be similar to those utilized in the clubhouse, added two columns to the east and west sides of the buildings similar to the clubhouse columns, and retained the stone veneer exterior for the building. A perspective view with the vehicular security gates in the rear has been prepared to showaan overall view: Stone veneer columns are shown supporting the gates. A very conceptual design for the gates is indicated in this drawing. The applicant has indicated that the design for the gates has not yet been finalized. The revised plans do not indicate any use of a trellis structure or additional security car parking as discussed by the Design Review Board at its meeting. SIGNA GE: Security Gate House The applicant has shown signage for the west side of the gate house on a short , block wall. The plans indicate a 1 -foot high by 4'6" long sign which would state "The Quarry at La Quinta" on two lines. The signage is proposed to be brass or other metal. LANDSCAPING: Maintenance Building The applicant has submitted a landscaping plan indicating plant types, quantities, and sizes. While most plants used are low water usage, it does not appear that indigenous plants are utilized. The maintenance building area is, planted with a mixture of low water usage plants and desert type materials. The trees proposed vary from Bottle trees, citrus trees, and California Fan Palms to Chilean Mesquites and African Sumac. The easterly end of the property will contain PCST.136 3 a well site and is proposed to be covered with Palm Springs Gold gravel. Along Cahuilla Park Road, Chilean Mesquite are proposed to be used. The Bottle trees are used at the west end of the property as a buffer between the maintenance building and the adjacent residential lot. Security Guardhouse The landscaping adjacent to the entry is a variety of low water usage plants and desert type plants. However, few if any indigenous plants are proposed to be used. Additionally some lawn is proposed to be used along the road between the guardhouse and interior road to the west. Flagstone paving with concrete bands are proposed to be used around the guardhouse and at the easterly end of the private road area. The plans indicate th at along the north and south side of the private road right -of -way between the security vehicle at and interior street to the west a wrought iron fence will be provided. ANALYSIS: Design Review Board Action The Design Review Board considered this request at their meeting of July 7, 1993. With regards to the maintenance building, discussion centered on whether the building would be visible -from surrounding properties. Due to the excavation of the pad elevation for the maintenance building, the applicant felt that the building would not be visible from his property. With regards to visibility from Cahuilla Park Drive and areas to the north, it was felt that it would be partially visible along the roof line. The applicant indicated that along Cahuilla Park Drive, landscaping would be provided which would shield view of the maintenance building from the road. The Board felt that although the architecture was nondescript, it would be acceptable in this location due to the recessed grading and proposed screening. In reviewing the security guardhouse,. the Board felt that while the applicant was trying to achieve an "understated elegance ", the resulting building was simple but lacked character or elegance. The Board felt that the guardhouse architecture was mediocre and not up to par with that of the clubhouse structure which is located to the west within the gravel pit site. The applicant did not submit plans for the steel fencing that is proposed to run along the north and south boundaries "of the roadway or the entry gate design. The Board felt that not having this information was a hindrance in reviewing the guardhouse. It was suggested that possibly columns and a wood trellis be provided along with the designs for the various gates and fences. It was also felt that more than one parking space was necessary in this area. It was noted that there was room to provide one or two additional spaces near the guardhouse. The Board felt that a perspective drawing which showed the guardhouse, gates and fencing, landscaping, and other improvements would be helpful in reviewing this request. With regards to landscaping, it was felt that the use of grass should be eliminated completely along this entry drive. PCST.136 4 The Board took action to recommend approval of the maintenance building subject to adequate screening being provided by landscaping along Cahuilla Park Drive, and continued consideration of the guardhouse structure. The Board felt that the applicant should revise the guardhouse plans providing a perspective view and showing landscaping, gates and fences, and additional parking, and a revised guardhouse building. The Board suggested that the applicant look at providing a trellis structure and columns around the building. This motion carried on a 6 -0 vote with Boardmember Rice being absent. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission has several options which it can take regarding this application. Those options are as follows: 1. Refer the matter back to the Design Review Board for further consideration of the guardhouse structure based on the revised plans. 2. Approve the application for the maintenance building and guardhouse subject to conditions the Planning Commission deems appropriate. 3. To approve the application for the maintenance building and refer the guardhouse back to the Design Review Board. Any action the Commission takes shall be by Minute Motion and subject to the attached conditions with any modifications deemed necessary. Attachments: 1. Location map 2.

S1 NA E: Security Gate House The applicant has submitted for the west side of the gate house on a short block wall. The plans indicate a 1 -foot high by 4'6" long sign which would state 'The Quarry" at La Quinta on two lines. The signage is proposed to be brass. LANDSCAPING: Maintenance Building The applicant has submitted a landscaping plan indicating plant types, quantities, and sizes. While most plants used are low water usage, it does not appear that indigenous plants are utilized. The maintenance building area is planted with a mixture of low water usage plants and desert type materials. The _trees proposed vary from Bottle trees, citrus trees, and California Fan Palms to Chilean Mesquites and African Sumac. The easterly end of the property .will contain a well site and is proposed to be gravel with Palm Springs Gold. Along Cahuilla Park Road, Chilean Mesquite are proposed to be used. The Bottle trees are used at the west end of the property as a buffer between the maintenance building and an adjacent residential lot. Security Guardhouse The landscaping adjacent to the entry is a variety of low water usage plants and desert type plants. However, few if any indigenous plants are proposed to be used. Additionally some lawn is proposed to be used along the road between the guardhouse and interior road. Flagstone paving with concrete, bands are proposed to be used around the guardhouse and at the easterly end of the private road area. The plans indicate that along the north and south side of the private road right -of -way a wrought iron fence will be provided. ANALYSIS: Staff.has reviewed the plans and offers the following comments: 1. The final site plan layout for the security gatehouse and drive around it will need to be reviewed by the Engineering Department and Fire Marshal to make sure it works properly. DRBST.098 • • 2. Overall, Staff would like to see more use of `indigenous landscaping. While a few varieties are desert type landscaping almost- none of it is indigenous to the surrounding canyon area. It should be noted that in the golf course and areas closer to the golf course, Staff will expect indigenous landscaping as originally proposed when the project was approved. 3. Along Cahuilla Park Drive, the applicant has indicated landscaping. Presently along the street there are existing Blue Palo Verde trees (Cercidium floridum) along with other desert shrubbery. New landscaping along this street should be similar to the existing planting. Therefore, the landscape plan should show the existing trees and be designed - to be compatible with them. 4. As noted, the architecture. for the maintenance building is nondescript and box -like. The applicant has indicated that as designed the building will not be visible. Staff feels that while it may not be visible from inside the property it will be visible from sections of Cahuilla Park drive which is the street that leads into Lake Cahuilla. Therefore, it may be appropriate to provide some architectural treatment to the building. It should be noted that the present grading of the property is not the finish grade for the maintenance building site. The applicant has indicated that existing grading will be lowered approximately ten feet in the area of the maintenance building site. 5. This plot plan application will be forwarded to the Planning Commission for final action. RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS: 1. The gate on Cahuilla Park Drive from the maintenance building shall be solid and decorative in nature. , The plans for the gate shall be included with the final working drawings. 2. Trash provisions and design shall be reviewed and approved by Waste Management of the Desert prior to issuance of any building permit for the maintenance building. 3. The 24 -foot driveway aisle near the westerly end of the maintenance building shall be widened to 26 -feet per City Code requirements. 4. The wall adjacent to Cahuilla Park Drive shall be decorative with.the design included in the final working drawings.

Security Guardhouse The landscaping adjacent to the entry is a variety of low water usage plants and desert type plants. However, few if any indigenous plants are proposed to be used. Additionally some lawn is proposed to be used along the road between the guardhouse and interior road. Flagstone paving with concrete bands are proposed to be used around the guardhouse and at the easterly end of the private road area. The plans indicate that along the north and south side of the private road right -of -way a wrought iron fence will be provided. ANALYSIS: Staff has reviewed the plans and offers the following comments: 1. The final site plan layout for the security gatehouse and drive around it will need to be reviewed by the Engineering Department and Fire Marshal to make sure it works properly. DRBST.098 2. Overall, Staff would like to see more use of indigenous landscaping. While a few varieties are desert type landscaping almost none of it is indigenous to the surrounding canyon area. It should be noted that in the golf course and areas closer to the golf course, Staff will expect indigenous landscaping as originally proposed when the project was approved. 3. Along Cahuilla Park Drive, the applicant has indicated landscaping. Presently along the street there are existing Blue Palo Verde trees (Cercidium floridum) along with other desert shrubbery. New landscaping along this street should be similar to the existing planting. Therefore, the landscape plan should show the existing trees and be designed to be compatible with them. 4. As noted, the architecture for the maintenance building is nondescript and'box -like. The applicant has indicated that as designed the building will not be visible. Staff feels that while it may not be visible from inside the property it will be visible from sections of Cahuilla Park drive which is the street that leads into Lake Cahuilla. Therefore, it may be appropriate to provide some architectural treatment to the building. It should be noted that the present grading of the property is not the finish grade for the maintenance building site. The applicant has indicated that existing grading will be lowered approximately ten feet in the area of the maintenance building site. 5. This plot plan. application will be forwarded to the Planning Commission for final action. RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS: 1. The gate on Cahuilla Park Drive from the maintenance building shall_ be solid and decorative in nature. The plans for the gate shall be included with the final working drawings. 2. Trash provisions and design shall be reviewed and approved by Waste Management of the Desert prior to issuance of any building permit for the maintenance building. 3. The 24 -foot driveway aisle near the westerly end of the maintenance building shall be widened to 26 -feet per City Code requirements. 4. The wall adjacent to Cahuilla Park Drive shall be decorative with the design included in the final working drawings. This wall shall match the wall along Cahuilla Park Drive for those residential lots which back up to said street. 5. Prior to issuance of a building permit, a revised preliminary landscaping plan shall be submitted to the Planning and Development Department showing exiting trees. along Cahuilla Park Drive and relationship to proposed landscaping. Between 1/3 and 50% of the landscaping materials along Cahuilla Park Drive shall be indigenous to the surrounding area. All trees along Cahuilla Park Drive shall be a minimum 24" box size. 6. Wrought iron fencing and gates on the entry road shall be decorative and included in working drawings for the security guardhouse. DRBST.098 RECOMMENDATION: Staff would recommend that in light of the suggested conditions and other comments that the Design. Review Board review the plans and take appropriate action.

This 20' X 80' storage area should read "seed. and fertilizer" storage. It is a concrete block enclosure with concrete block dividing walls. This storage area is not visable from adjacent roads since its 12' high and tucked against the West retaining wall. I have enclosed a front elevation for your review.
