Adopt City Council Resolution approving Specific Plan 96 -028, Amendment #1, subject to the Findings and Conditions of Approval. 2. Adopt City Council Resolution approving Site Development Permit 96 -590, Amendment #1, subject to the Findings and Conditions of Approval. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: On February 4, 1997, the La Quinta City Council approved Specific Plan 96 -028 and Site Development Permit 96 -590, two of four applications (a Conditional Use Permit and Tentative Parcel Map being the others) filed by the applicant for the referenced site. This approval was granted based on conditions as recommended by the Planning Commission. The originally approved project plans subject to the Planning Commission recommended changes, as related to the proposed modifications, are provided as Attachments 1 through 6. r V On April 8, 1997, the Planning Commission approved minor site modifications to Parcel 1 of the Site Development Permit, which contains the Lapis fueling station, convenience store and restaurant uses. These changes arose from conditions requiring that the circulation be redesigned for Parcels 1 and 2; the currently approved layout for this area can be seen as Attachment 13. On August 12, 1997, the Planning Commission reviewed a proposal to revise the approval for this project to allow an internal storage building of 30,900 gross square feet, some minor architectural, siting and parking changes, and a zero - setback along the east property fine. It was determined that the applicant would need to file a specific plan amendment to allow these changes, and the request was continued indefinitely. On October 28, 1997, the Planning Commission reviewed the final landscape plan for compliance with the approval conditions for the entire site. The plan was approved, with a few minor changes. On December 23, 1997, the Planning Commission reviewed changes proposed by Lapis Energy to the fueling canopy, equipment building and convenience store. Based on the conditions recommended by staff, Lapis requested that the item be continued and the Planning Commission granted the request. The revised plans as reviewed and approved by the Commission are included as Attachments 7 through 16 of this report; drawings on 11" X 17" format have also been included as part of your packet. The applicants' proposed amendments to the existing approval, as reviewed by the Planning Commission, are as follows: ALLSTATE SELF - STORAGE - REFER TO ATTACHMENTS 7 -12 ♦ Addition of a second internal storage building of 27,750 gross square feet. ♦ Incorporation of an emergency fire access per Fire Department requirements. ♦ Elimination of parkway retention on Dune Palms Road to allow for landscaped berms. ♦ Incorporation of increased drainage retention requirements. ♦ Reducing the staggered 10 foot average setback along the east property line to zero. ♦ Revisions to architectural design, elevations, colors and materials These changes increase the gross building area for Parcel 3 from 66,810 to 90,936 square feet, which requires amending the Site Development Permit and the Specific Plan. LAPIS ENERGY /MOBIL OIL - REFER TO ATTACHMENTS 13 - 15 ♦ Minor architectural changes related to the Parcel 1 fueling station, which are essentially those continued from the 12/23/97 Planning Commission meeting. This requires amending the Site Development Permit. - 002 . o DESERT SANDS CNG /DIESEL FUELING FACILITY - REFER TO ATTACHMENT 16 ♦ Incorporation of a CNG equipment shelter /enclosure for.an equipment pad of approximately 1,980 square feet on Parcel 4. This requires amending the Site Development Permit and the Specific Plan. The subject applications were reviewed by the Planning Commission at their regular meeting of March 10, 1998 (copies of the March 10, 1998 staff report to the Planning Commission are on file with the Community Development Department). Based upon their reviews of the project and testimony taken during the public hearing, the Planning Commission took action to recommend approval of the proposed amendments. Minutes of the March 10th meeting are incorporated as Attachment 17. The following concerns were addressed by the Commission: • Parcel 1 - Lapis /Mobil fueling station - The Commission was concerned primarily with the west elevation of the convenience mart building, which eliminates the trellis and windows. The Planning Commission is requiring this elevation be revised to incorporate the previously approved trellis and window areas. The Commission also required that the proposed parapet roof on the fueling area canopy be revised as a hipped roof, per the original approval. Condition 87 addresses these items. • Parcel 3 - Allstate Storage facility revisions - The Commission recommends that additional building articulation, along with revisions to the office /manager's unit roof lines, be reviewed by staff (Condition 86). • Parcel 4 - DSUSD re- fueling equipment enclosure - The concern expressed by the Commission involved screening of this structure. Condition 53 has been amended to require landscape screening to be incorporated into required landscape plan changes. FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES: The options available to the City Council are as follows: 1. Approve the proposed project as recommended, 2. Approve the proposed project subject to any modifications by the Council, 3. Deny the proposed project, or; 4. Continue or table consideration of this item. srry Herjrnan ommunYty Development Director Attachments: 1 - 6. Originally approved project plans 7-16. Complete project revisions as proposed 17. Planning Commission minutes for March 10, 1998 003 RESOLUTION 98 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, GRANTING APPROVAL OF SPECIFIC PLAN 96 -028, AMENDMENT #1 TO ALLOW DEVELOPMENT OF A 105,246 SQUARE FOOT MIXED - USE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT ON 10.29 GROSS ACRES SPECIFIC PLAN 96 -028, AMENDMENT #1 LAPIS ENERGY /ALLSTATE SELF STORAGE WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did on the 7' day of April, 1998, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider the Planning Commission recommendation on Specific Plan 96 -028, Amendment #1; and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California, did on the 10`h day of March, 1998, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider a recommendation to the City Council on Specific Plan 96 -028, Amendment #1; to revise building siting, architecture, colors and materials, landscaping and drainage; and, WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did on the 0 day of February, 1997, approve Environmental Assessment 96 -328 and Specific Plan 96 -028, to allow various uses in conjunction with requesting approval for a 81,110 square foot commercial project on a 10.29 acre (gross) site; and, WHEREAS, said application has complied with the requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" (as amended; Resolution 83 -68 adopted by the La Quinta City Council) in that the Community Development Department has determined that the previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration for the original Specific Plan approval (EA 96 -328) is adequate in addressing project impacts, and that no new environmental impacts can be anticipated from the proposed amendment; and, WHEREAS, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said City Council did find the following facts, findings, and reasons to justify a recommendation on said Specific Plan Amendment: The proposed Specific Plan Amendment is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the La Quinta General Plan, as it does not modify the approved uses or intent of the original project concept, land uses and objectives. 2. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment will not create conditions materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare. The Initial Study (EA 96 -328) for the original Specific Plan approval indicated that the project does have the potential to eliminate an important example of California prehistory; however, extensive investigations of the site R \ccreslapspamdl.wpd ' ! ! 1 3A -1 ' Resolution 98 - have been completed pursuant to mitigation requirements as contained in EA 96 -328, and the site has been monitored during all grading conducted thus far, and will continue to be. 3.

The proposed Specific Plan Amendment is suitable and appropriate for the subject property. The site is vacant, designated and zoned for commercial use, and located at the intersection of two arterial roadways, which commonly attracts automotive -based commercial uses. The Specific Plan as originally approved and proposed for amendment remains a consistent representation of and consistent with the General Plan land use and zoning designations.

The La Quinta City Council previously certified a mitigated Negative Declaration as part of the approval for this project on February 4, 1997. The La Quinta Community Development Department has determined that. this document is adequate in addressing the proposed revisions, in that no new impacts are anticipated which were not previously addressed in the original Negative Declaration. The La Quinta City Council will consider a recommendation from the Planning Commission on the proposed project applications at the Hearing. Any person may submit written comments on this case to the Community Development Department prior to the Hearing and /or may appear and be heard in support of or opposition to the project at the Hearing. If you challenge the decision on this case in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues that you or someone else raised at the Hearing, or in prior written comments. The project files .may be viewed Monday through Friday, 8:00 -a.m. until 5:00 p.m., at the Community Development Department, La Quinta City Hall, 78 -495 Calle Tampico, La Quinta, California.

SPECIFIC PLAN 96 -028, AMENDMENT NO. 1 AND SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 96 -590, AMENDMENT NO. 1 — TO ALLOW AN INCREASE IN THE APPROVED FLOOR AREA FOR A SELF - STORAGE FACILITY, FROM APPROXIMATELY 67,000 SQ. FT. TO 91,000 SQ. FT. AND MINOR ARCHITECTURAL MATERIAL AND COLOR CHANGES FOR SAID FACILITY AND PARCEL 1, FOR MOBIL OIL /LAPIS ENERGY. The Mayor declared the PUBLIC HEARING OPEN. Ms. di lorio, Planning Manager, advised that the applicants are proposing the following: Parcel 1— changing the architectural aspects of the mini - mart /restaurant /public fueling facility; Parcel 3— increasing the RV storage building area from 66,810 sq. ft. 90,936 sq. ft., eliminating the Dune Palms Road retention areas and revising the drainage to compensate and to allow for berming, and revising the architectural colors and materials of the building; and Parcel 4— adding a 1,900 sq. ft. equipment enclosure at the fueling island designated for school use. Mr. Nesbit, Associate Planner, then reviewed the layout of the buildings and revised elevations. Mayor Pena suggested some type of mesh be used with the wrought -iron fencing around the equipment storage area at the fueling facility. Ms. di lorio advised that the original Specific Plan and Site Development Permit, which were approved prior to the adoption of the Highway 1 1 1 Design Theme, places the retention basin for Parcels 1 and 2 in the 50 -foot setback area along the Highway 1 1 1 frontage. This does not allow for berming or landscaping as required in the design guidelines which requires the setback to be used only for retention of street runoff or rainfall. The setback area is not to serve as a retention area for the remainder of the parcel. Therefore, since the Specific Plan City Council Minutes 18 April 7, 1998 has been re- opened, staff is recommending an additional condition which .requires the retention area to be revised to better achieve the City's design theme standards. Council Member Henderson asked if the applicant is aware of the new condition and staff advised that a message was left on their machine this afternoon and it was_ handed to them before the meeting. Mayor Pena was concerned about the visibility of the storage area from Highway 111. Council Member Adolph felt it seemed more logical to place it up against the perpendicular parking area. Dale Leopard, 78 -223 Scarlet Court, of Lapis Energy, advised that they have worked very hard to come up with a facility the City can be proud of and added that La Quinta will be one of the first cities to have a public CNG facility. Jeff Klein, 22 Overn, Newport Beach, a representative of Lapis Energy, questioned the legality of the City adding a new condition at this time, advising that they've already received their grading permit and have completed their grading. Making the changes recommended by staff would be extremely costly, to them at this point and he pointed out that the condition was added after they had received approval from the Planning Commission. He then presented three alternatives for the blank wall fronting Dune Palms Road. He preferred the trellis design or the landscaping with large terra cotta planters. The canopy was redesigned because they understood the City wishes to minimize the size of structures close to the street and Mobil Oil felt it would be unsafe in. high wind situations. In addition, they felt a canopy that size with a hipped roof would detract from the aesthetics of the project. Ms. Honeywell, City Attorney, advised that normally, a new condition cannot be added to the original Specific Plan, but since the applicant has requested an amendment, the Council has the discretion of requesting the applicant to comply with all current development standards. The applicants also have the right to continue with the original Specific Plan if they wish. In response to Council Member Adolph, Ms. di lorio advised that a small decorative wall in place of the berming would not be consistent with the City's requirements. City. Council Minutes 19 April 7, 1998 In response to Mayor Pena, Ms. di lorio advised that the new standard would be consistent with that required at Eagle Hardware, although the berming might be a little lower. Mr. Klein advised that they will have to modify their entire site plan if the retention basin is moved onsite and they prefer to address it with heavy landscaping. They have requested the amendments because they intend to build an attractive project and it would be difficult for them to put the retention basin on the other parcels that have already been sold. He questioned the appropriateness of the new condition since they've already completed their grading. In response to Council Member Adolph, Mr. Vogt, Public Works. Director, advised that the size of the retention basin is based on the hydrology of the site, collecting runoff from the entire site. He advised that adding landscaping would not suffice if the area is bermed and becomes a basin for localized water only. The site would have to be re- graded to drain to the rear of the project and that basin enlarged or underground retention would have to be used. Council Member Henderson understood that the applicant was proposing to use landscaping to beautify the basin, without berming the area. Mr. Vogt advised that that's a possibility with the understanding that even with landscaping it's going to better retain the water. Some area would be lost, therefore, it would take some fairly creative landscaping to hide the basin. Ms. di lorio noted that there's not much frontage for landscaping where the retention basin begins because of the sidewalk. Mayor Pena advised that he prefers the trellis design in Option #1 . Council Member Adolph suggested using a small planter area for landscaping to soften the looks of the wall. Mayor Pena was still concerned about the location of the storage building and Mr. Leonard offered to eliminate it. Ms. di lorio suggested a two -week continuance to give staff an opportunity to work with the applicant on the design of Parcels 1 and 2 in regard to the retention basin. Mr. Klein pointed out that a continuance would mean additional costs for them and hoped that a decision could be made now. City Council Minutes 20 April 7, 1998 Council Member Henderson 'found it difficult, at this point, to require full compliance of the applicant with the new. standards for Highway 1 1 1 and understood their situation and felt, perhaps with a continuance, a compromise . might be found that would meet all needs. Mr. Genovese, City Manager, noted that the applicant is requesting an additional 30,000 sq. ft. of building space and staff would .just like to explore the possibility of locating some small retention basins within the site. Council Member Henderson noted that the additional building is currently proposed as parking area that would still be available for RV parking. Mr. Klein pointed out that, although the two projects are being processed together, they are separate and it's the storage facility that's requesting the additional building. Mayor Peria wished to see the retention basin issue resolved within the next two weeks, without further delaying the project. Ms. di lorio recommended moving forward with the storage and fueling facilities and changing Condition No. 9 so as to require compliance prior to the issuance of a building permit for the fueling facility. In regard to the canopy, Ms. di lorio advised that a hipped roof was recommended by the Planning Commission and the applicant is proposing a parapet roof. Council Member Perkins felt the applicant should have been informed of the new design standards before this and didn't like putting the applicant in a bind. He was disappointed that the City has not done what it should have with this project. Ms. di lorio recommended changing Condition No. 87 of Site Development Permit 96 -590 to require a trellis structure and landscape planter to accommodate mature palm trees and eliminate the requirement for a hipped roof. In addition, the conditions would be subject to Community Development Department approval instead of .Planning Commission review. She further recommended adding a condition requiring wire -mesh screening on the wrought -iron gate and changing Condition No. 9 of Specific Plan 96 -028 and Condition No. 88 of Site Development Permit 96 -590 to require compliance prior to the issuance of. a building permit for the fueling facility subject to approval by the Community Development and Public Works Departments. } City Council Minutes 21 April 7, 1998 In response to Council Member Adolph, Ms. di lorio advised that flush lenses are required on the canopy. In response to Council Member Adolph, Mr. Klein confirmed that there will be containment boxes underneath the dispensers. Ms. di lorio advised that the amendment will come back to Council in two weeks if the issues are not resolved. There being no one else wishing to speak, the Mayor declared the PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED. RESOLUTION NO. 98 -29 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, GRANTING APPROVAL OF SPECIFIC PLAN 96 -028, AMENDMENT NO. 1, TO ALLOW DEVELOPMENT OF A 105,246 SQ. FT.

Motion carried unanimously. . 2. ZONING .CODE AMENDMENT 97 -058 — TO CONSIDER MISCELLANEOUS AMENDMENTS TO TITLE 9 OF THE LA QUINTA CHARTER AND MUNICIPAL CODE. Mayor Pena advised that staff has requested this item be continued to May 19, 1998. MOTION - It was moved by Council Members Sniff /Henderson to continue the matter of Zoning Code Amendment 97 -058 to May 19, 1998. Motion carried unanimously. CLOSED SESSION - None There being no further business, it was moved by Council Members Sniff /Adolph to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. Re ectfully submitted, SAUNDRA L. JU OLA, City Clerk .City of La Quinta; California Planning Commission Meeting March 10, 1998 IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Village on the Green - Environmental Assessment 97 -349, Specific Plan 97 -031,. General Plan Amendment 97 -055, Tentative Tract 28601, and Site Development Permit 97 -618; a request of Catellus Residential Group and the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency for approval and recommendation to the City Council for certification of a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact, approval and recommendation of a Specific Plan, General Plan Amendment, Tentative Tract, and Site Development Permit for a 26 acre, 86 family residential lot subdivision, and 118 senior apartments with recreational amenities on ten acres, reduce several street widths from the General Plan required 36 -feet to 28- and 32 -feet at the northwest corner of Jefferson Street and 48`" Avenue.. The project is affordable from very low through moderate income levels. 1. Staff noted this item was being taken off the agenda and would be re- advertised for a new public hearing. B. Specific Plan 96 -028, Amendment #1 and Site Development Permit 96 -059. Amendment # 1; a request of .Lapis Energy /Allstate Self Storage for amendments to existing approvals to allow an increase in approved floor area for a self storage facility, from approximately 67,000 square feet to 91,000 square feet and to allow minor architectural, material, and color changes for new tenancies and other additions to the project. 1. Chairman Butler opened the public hearing and asked for the staff report. Associate Planner Wallace Nesbit presented the information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development Department. 2. Commissioner Abels asked the height of the gas tanks. Staff noted they would be installed horizontally and would be approximately three or four feet in height, but the applicant would know exactly. 3. Commissioner Seaton asked what material was to be used on the roof. Staff stated it would be metal and explained the construction. 4. Commissioner Woodard asked if a wall would be installed at the property line to hide the tanks from the adjacent property owner. Staff stated there would be no wall and went on to explain the site plan. Commissioner Woodard asked if anything would hide the view of the tanks. Staff noted only the landscaping after it matured. J� PC- 3 -10 -98 2 Planning Commission Meeting March 10, 1998 5. Commissioner Woodard stated the managers unit had been changed and he preferred the original plan. Staff explained the developer had changed architects and the design had changed. 6. Commissioner Woodard noted that other changes such as the setback and undulation between the buildings had also been changed. He then asked staff what the original square footage was of the project. Staff stated it had increased from 66,810 square feet to 90,936 square feet, or an increase of 30 %. Commissioner Woodard noted that the wall openings on the street had been removed and the building area had been increased. Staff noted this was the reason for reducing the east property line setbacks and reducing the extent of the staggers that were shown. 7. Commissioner Woodard commented on the new drawing for the manager's unit and noted all of the elevations did not appear to be included in his packet. It is difficult for the Commission to evaluate a project when all the elevations are not presented. Staff stated that in the past, since the interior portion of the project did not open up to anything except the storage unit, it was not necessary to show this elevation. The south elevation is obscured by Building "E" and the north elevation is included. Commissioner Woodard noted that for future reference he would like the Commission to have the revisions drawn to scale of all elevations. 8. Commissioner Woodard asked about the original Mobile /Mini -Mart design that had a canopy on the side facing Dune Palms Road. Staff noted the last amendment changed the layout of Parcel 1. A trellis is no longer shown as this is no longer a delivery area. Commissioner Woodard asked if the west elevation faced Dune Palms Road. He commented that this elevation, facing a main street, is now a monolithic block with two small sloping roofs on each side, with no window openings and no change in the roof pattern. 9. Commissioner Gardner asked if the southerly exposure would be adjacent to the Desert Sands Unified School District. Staff stated this was true and they would share a rear access for the fueling of the school buses. 10. Commissioner Gardner noted that on both ends of the project, there appeared to be a large access for the Fire Department between Buildings "E" and "F ". Staff noted that on the west side of the property there is a secondary access onto Dune Palms Road. The main entry is on the north side adjacent to the parking area. Commissioner Gardner stated there appeared to be very little access. PC- 3 -10 -98 3 Planning Commission Meeting March 10, 1998 11. Commissioner Woodard asked if the fire gate was a solid gate. Staff noted it would be similar to the customer's gate. The applicant had been conditioned to make it consistent with the project entry gate. 12. Commissioner Woodard stated he was concerned that it was not known where the retention area would be located. Staff stated the retention area would be located at the far south end. Building "F" was shifted off the property line and the retention basin would surround the semi - circular drive access to the facility. Commissioner Woodard noted that the back wall of Building "F" would be about two feet below the pad to accommodate the depression of the retention area. Staff stated the Engineering Department would have to address this question. Senior Engineer Steve Speer stated that according to the plans this was true. 13. Commissioner Kirk noted that on the plans there was a cross section showing the relationship between Building "F" and the retaining wall /retention basin. 14. Commissioner Kirk asked if the "daylight" portion of the plans showed the daylight extending offsite to the east of the fueling parcel. Senior Engineer Steve Speer stated the grading does go back onto the adjacent property and the applicant would have to obtain a letter giving authorization from the adjacent property owner before they would be allowed to do this. 15. There being no further questions of staff, Chairman Butler asked if the applicant would like to address the Commission. Mr. Bruce Jordan, architect for the self storage facility, stated he would confine his comments to the storage area only. He went on to explain the history of the project and how they had arrived at these building elevations. The major change was to enclose the open recreational vehicle storage area. This increased the scope and. size of the project to over 90,000 square feet. On Dune Palms Road they increased the setback to a 20 -foot minimum and increased the off -sets. Most of the off -sets are four feet laterally. The changes made were due to concerns that were raised by the Commission specifically removing the retention basins and replacing them with berms along Dune Palms Road. They did redesign the manager's office to address security problems and the manager's view of the storage area. In addition, the building on the east property line was moved to a zero setback. This was to solve a maintenance - problem and prevent littering. The Fire Department access came in at the last moment and the Fire Department has approved the layout. PC- 3 -10 -98 4 Planning Commission Meeting March 10, 1998 16. Commissioner Tyler asked how many RV storage units would be left after the redesign. Mr. Jordan stated that due to the redesign of the RV storage area, they did not know exactly how many spaces they would have, but it is approximately the same. 17. Commissioner Woodard stated that when the applicant had first brought this project to the Commission, the Commission was in the middle of a rewriting of the Zoning Code regarding recreational vehicles. Discussion followed regarding the original design of the buildings and the retention basins. 18. Commissioner Woodard stated he had a problem with the roof line of the manager's unit. Mr. Jordan stated they would be willing to re -look at the design if they could get a conceptual approval to be able to move forward with the project. 19. Commissioner Woodard asked why they eliminated all the building openings along Dune Palms Road. Mr. Jordan stated that from their position, the view from the street has not changed. Commissioner Woodard asked why the wall could not be broken up-. Mr. Jordan stated that if you started at one end of the project and walked through all of the offsets, the offsets would match the original ones with the exception at Dune Palms Road which increased the setback five feet for additional landscaping. The degree, or differential, in the offset from the maximum to the narrowest point of the building has remained the same with the exception that the starting point is further back. It was their opinion that the slots, that are the connections between the buildings, has not changed. 20. Commissioner Woodard stated that to the right of the manager's unit, there were two areas where, if the bay were removed and ten feet of interruption were installed, that as you drive down Dune Palms Road, you would have a sense of individual buildings. Mr. Jordan stated they would have no objection to changing the design to accommodate this. Chairman Butler asked if this would create a security situation. Mr. Jordan explained the separation would be a common wall between structures. Further discussion ensued. 21. Commissioner Gardner asked if the Commission was approving a plan that would accommodate recreational vehicles as the plans did not appear to show this. Mr. Jordan stated the design was to allow them to meet market demand. The demand will dictate the size of their RV storage area. Commissioner Gardner stated his concern was that the plan does not show this. Community Development Director Jerry Herman stated the Commission was not approving the interior design of the building, only the architectural elevations and the configuration of the buildings. PC- 3 -10 -98 5. Planning Commission Meeting March 10, 1998 PC- 3 -10 -98 `\ 22. Commissioner Kirk stated he understood the design had changed to make it more functional. Mr. Jordan stated the buildings were originally broken into small pieces and this created a tremendous cost and did not serve any purpose. A long linear building is more functional and not as costly. 23. Commissioner Kirk asked whether Building `B ", if placed at the zero lot line, would have any affect on the adjacent property owner. Planning Manager Christine di Iorio noted that the Zoning Code allows zero lot lines. Commissioner Kirk asked if staff had any concerns about the rear of this building. Staff stated it did not. 24. Mr. Jordan stated that in regard to the question about the daylight line, he wanted the Commission to know he had obtained a Letter of Agreement from the adjoining property owner. 25. Chairman Butler stated he would like to see more indentation on the west facing wall to create a different view line. On the retention basin, where Building "F" appears to need a two or three foot footing below grade; will this create a problem? Mr. Jordan stated that in discussing this with the engineers, they stated it would be no problem. Discussion followed regarding the water that would flow into the retention basin. - 26. Commissioner Woodard asked if staff approved of the landscaping plan. Staff noted the added conditions that must be met by the applicant before the landscaping could be approved. 27. Associate Planner Wallace Nesbit displayed the exterior colors to be used on the project and discussion followed. 28. Chairman Butler asked if the applicant for Lapis Energy would like to address the Commission. Mr. Dale Leopard stated he was available to answer questions. 29. Commissioner Tyler noted that the north and south elevations were drawn incorrectly and asked why they were proposing to remove the hip roof from the fuel island. Mr. Leopard stated it was changed due to structural reasons and to match the Mobil facility decor. Discussion followed regarding the changes. 30. Commissioner Tyler asked why the trellis was taken off the west wall to create the large monolithic wall. Mr. Leopard stated they could add it back to the wall. C1 Planning Commission Meeting March 10, 1998 31. Commissioner Tyler stated he did not like having such a plain structure next to the new school district buildings. Mr. Leopard explained why the structure had been designed in this manner. 32. Commissioner Seaton asked if Desert Sands Unified School District had any input into the design of the plans. Mr. Leopard stated they had a joint access for the school buses and they had approved the plan. 33. Commissioner Seaton asked if there were any safety issues in regard to the fueling. Mr. Leopard stated they had a similar system at the previous school site and explained the safety procedures. 34. Commissioner Woodard stated that in regard to the revisions to the Mobil/Mini -Mart building he would not accept the big, blank wall without sloped roofs. Mr. Leopard stated the roof design was in the original plans. Commissioner Woodard noted that the original plan also had a better elevation. Discussion followed regarding alternatives to soften the elevation. Mr. Leopard stated he would go back to the original design with the windows and trellis on the west elevation. 35. Commissioner Woodard stated his concern with Parcel 4 was that the two metal shed roofs at the outer end were unattractive and asked if the applicant had any suggestions. Mr. Leopard stated the metal would not be seen as it is an overhang. Mr. Jordan stated they could use landscaping to hide it. 36. Commissioner Abels asked for clarification on the siting of the CNG tanks and whether any noise would be associated with the compressors. Mr. Leopard stated there would be none. 37. Commissioner Woodard stated that the original site plan had an art piece and asked where it would be placed. Staff stated it would be located in a large landscape planter area behind the Mini -Mart in Parcel 2. 38. There being no further public comment, Chairman Butler closed the public comment portion of the hearing. 39. Commissioner Kirk stated he supported staff's recommendation with the requirement of adding more horizontal /vertical articulation to the storage units on the Mobil facility; some sort of architectural treatment was needed on the west elevation. In regard to the Lapis site, minor landscaping for the CNG gas facility was needed. He would be comfortable allowing staff to monitor these changes. PC- 3 -10 -98 7 Planning Commission Meeting March 10, 1998 40. Commissioner Gardner stated his major concern was the building on the west elevation. 41. Commissioner Abels stated he concurred with Commissioners Woodard and Kirk. 42. Chairman Butler stated he would like to have staff determine where the indentations should be placed, so the applicant is aware of what is being asked of him. Planning Manager Christine di Iorio suggested adding a Condition #85 to require additional articulation be added along the west elevation of the storage facility to be approved by the Community Development Director prior to issuance of a building permit. Condition #86 be added to require a window and trellis treatment be added to the west elevation of the Mini -Mart adjacent to Dune Palms Road prior to issuance of a building permit. Chairman Butler stated the applicant had agreed to go back to the original drawing which had additional articulation. Discussion followed as to what was originally approved. It was determined that the roof would have to be re- designed in addition to the window and trellis being added and reviewed by staff. Condition #87 would require additional landscaping to the perimeter of the fueling facility pad area. Commissioner Woodard asked that the applicant be required to redesign the roof silhouette of the manager's unit. 43. Commissioner Seaton had no further comment and concurred with the other Commissioners. 44. Commissioner Tyler stated he thought the quality of the project had deteriorated and noted changes that needed to be made to the staff report and Conditions of Approval to add consistency an d clarity: a. Add "as amended" to Condition #1 of the Specific Plan 96 -028. b. Revise the landscaping plans to show emergency fire access. C. Use consistent reference to the fire access d. Condition #83 needs to clarity what it is to be east of e. Clarify that the signs as shown on the plans are not approved at this time. 45. Chairman Butler stated the only other condition is to require a roof over the gas pumps. Staff asked if the Commission wanted a full pitched roof over the pumps. Chairman Butler stated yes. PC- 3 -10 -98 8 Planning Commission Meeting March 10, 1998 46. Planning Manager Christine di Iorio stated the Engineering Department was asking that a condition be added requiring the applicant to secure written permission from the adjacent. property owners for the proposed off -site grading work prior to obtaining the grading permit. 47.

(LAPIS ENERGY) ARCHITECT: JORDAN ARCHITECTS ( ALLSTATE SELF - STORAGE) BUNDY /FINKEL (MOBIL OIL) On February 4, 1997, the La Quinta City Council approved Site Development Permit 96 -590, one of four applications (Conditional Use Permit, Specific Plan, tentative Parcel Map being the other three) filed by the applicant for the referenced site. This approval was granted based on conditions as recommended by the Planning Commission. The originally approved project plans are provided as Attachments 1 through 12. On April 8, 1997, the Planning Commission approved minor site modifications to Parcel 1 of the Site Development Permit, which contains the Lapis fueling station, convenience store and restaurant uses. AA1apspamdrpt.wpd _� � � �.T; � � ;� ;� ;i a ,, � '� {9 �� « �.+' `.tip p" y�.',a � r` On August 12, 1997, the Planning Commission reviewed a proposal to revise .the approval for this project to allow an internal storage building of 30,900 gross square feet, some minor architectural, siting and parking changes, and a zero- setback along the east property line. It was determined that the applicant would need to file a specific plan amendment to allow these changes, and the request was continued indefinitely. On October 28, 1997, the Planning Commission reviewed the final landscape plan for compliance with the approval conditions for the entire site. The plan was approved, with a few minor changes. On December 23, 1997, the Planning Commission reviewed changes proposed by Lapis Energy to the fueling canopy, equipment building and convenience store. Based on the conditions recommended by staff, Lapis requested that the item be continued, and the Planning Commission granted the request. The applicants propose revisions to the existing approval, as follows: ALLSTATE SELF- STORAGE • Addition of a second internal storage building of 27,750 gross square feet. • Incorporation , of an emergency fire access per fire department requirements. • Elimination of parkway retention on Dune Palms Road to allow landscaped berms. • Incorporation- of increased drainage retention requirements. • Reducing the staggered 10 foot average setback along the east property line to zero. • Revisions to architectural design, elevations, colors and materials These changes affect the approved building square footage, increasing the gross building area for Parcel 3 from 66,810 to 90,936 square .feet. This requires amending the Site Development Permit and the Specific Plan. . . LAPIS ENERGY /MOBIL OIL - • Minor architectural changes related.to the Parcel 1 fueling station, which are essentially those continued from the 12/23/97 Planning Commission meeting. This requires amending the Site Development Permit. AA1apspamdrpt.wpd DESERT SANDS CNG /DIESEL FUELING FACILITY - • Incorporation of a CNG dispensing equipment shelter /enclosure for an equipment pad of approximately 1,980 square feet on Parcel 4. This requires amending the Site Development Permit and the Specific Plan. These revisions are illustrated in the attached plan and elevation reductions immediately following this report as Attachments 13 through 19 for the Allstate proposal, Attachments 20 through 24 for the Lapis/ Mobil Oil proposal, and Attachment 25 for the Desert Sands CNG equipment enclosure proposed by Lapis. Larger 11 " x 17" exhibits of these attachments have been included in the Planning Commission packets. Allstate Self- Storage Proposal: Amendments to the Specific Plan and Site Development Permit are required because Building C has been added where the previous outdoor RV storage area was approved. Other amendments to the Specific Plan are also required to allow the increased floor area. There will be some indoor RV storage available, in various sizes. The Site Development Permit is required to be modified because the architect has added further design articulation to the storage facility elevations facing Dune Palms Road. The manager's office has -also.been redesigned and reduced in total size from 3,037 to 2,346 square feet. Other changes include revising the site layout for the self- storage facility, eliminating the 10 foot staggered. setback in favor of a zero - setback along the easterly property line, as allowed under the approved specific plan. The site layout was also revised to accommodate additional storm retention capacity made necessary by eliminating the Dune Palms parkway retention along this parcel. There is also a secondary access proposed, as required by the Fire Marshal. The revised elevations propose reducing the varied setbacks along Dune Palms Road from 4 individual storage buildings having 15 to 29 foot setback, to one continuous building with 20 to 29 foot setbacks from, the ultimate Dune Palms right -of -way. The parkway area landscape has been revised to include 3 foot berms. The landscaping shown on'the revised plans reflects the plan components previously approved on 10/28/97. As requested by the Commission, no oleander species have been included in the plant palette. Staff recommends approval of these changes because they do not significantly affect the concept, intent or provisions of the originally approved project. Several condition revisions are necessary, and are attached with the adopting Resolution._ 003 A: \lapspamdrpt.wpd r' Lapis Energy and Mobil Oil Proposal: 1. Mobil Oil, Parcel 1 - Revisions are proposed to the fueling canopy, equipment building and convenience store. These are the same revisions which were brought to the Commission on 1 2/23/97, but now incorporate staff's recommendations. Convenience mart - This structure's architectural design includes twelve inch square ceramic tile along the building wainscot, and glass block squares have been symmetrically placed in all building walls. The east elevation (entry) shows paneled windows surrounding the entry doors, in lieu of the previously approved glass block windows. The entry trellis has been widened, but shortened in depth, and the pop -out area housing the entry doors has been eliminated. The proposed west elevation eliminates the original trellis expanse, and .the north elevation now shows an access door to employee and sales areas, along with a single -pane window. The south elevation has additional revised storage doors and the same single -pane window as the north elevation. Fuel canopy - The major change to this structure is in the roof line, eliminating the hip roof in favor of a flat roof. The roof cornice shown matches that of the .convenience mart. The same ceramic tiles have been applied to the support columns to match the convenience mart wainscot. Equipment building - This structure now incorporates a hip roof to complement the convenience store building. There are some changes to the number, type and location of access doors to the building. The wainscot areas are finished in the same ceramic tile proposed with the convenience mart and fuel canopy support column bases. As with the previously approved building, there are no windows. The applicant has addressed all concerns of staff pertaining to the proposal when it was continued,, such as lighting, color and material use, roof lines and the drive through window (see Attachment 26). Based on this, staff recommends approval. 2. Lapis Energy, Parcel 4 - Lapis' original approval showed only a fuel pump island for this parcel. They now propose an approximately 66' x 30' concrete pad which will house equipment for fuel delivery to the island, thereby requiring that these amendments be processed. The structure is approximately 1900 square feet and flanked on the east and west with a metal shed roof, supported by stucco -walls to house the electrical equipment.' The enclosure's interior is open, and houses additional equipment such as CNG tanks. The enclosure requires an open, vented design consisting AAIapspamdrpt.wpd 004 of wrought iron fencing and gate sections between the two electrical sheds. The enclosure is located north and central to the parcel, with gates facing south. The colors for the stucco and metal equipment shed panels (medium brown), and wrought iron (tan) are two of the same colors used for the Mobil proposal. Staff recommends approval of the enclosure based on the accessory nature of its use and incorporation of consistent project color and material. RECOMMENDATION 3.

Mr. Wright stated that the north elevation by Code, is allowed 50 square feet. If the monument and additional sign is not approved, he is still allowed to have up to 50 square feet for a sign. Staff stated that was true only if the sign is in scale with the building wall. 29. Chairman Butler asked how large the free standing sign was. Mr. Wright stated it was three feet wide by 10 feet high. 30. Commissioner Woodard asked why Commissioner Tyler did not want the new proposal. 31. Commissioner Tyler stated he had no objection to the existing logo sign on the north side being relocated or enlarged up to 15 square feet and illuminated. Following discussion, it was moved and seconded by Commissioners Tyler /Gardner to adopt Minute Motion 97 -010 to leave the existing logo sign on the north elevation, or allowing it to be relocated or enlarged up to 15 square feet and illuminated. The motion carried with Commissioner Kirk voting No. 32. Mr. Wright asked if he could appeal this decision. Staff stated he had 15 days to appeal the Planning Commission's decision to the City Council and gave instructions on what had to be done. B. s- -- SITE — DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 96 -590. AMENDMENT #,T'; a request of .Jordan Architects, Inc., Lapis Energy Organization Inc., for approval of a site and building area revision for Parcel 3 of Tentative Parcel Map 28422, relating to the approved self - storage use proposed by Lapis Energy. 1. Chairman Butler asked for the staff report. Associate Planner Wallace Nesbit presented the information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development Department. 2. Commissioner Tyler asked staff to repeat their recommendation in regards to Building "C ". Staff stated it was to approve the proposal as presented except Building "C" as it would require a Specific Plan Amendment. It would require the applicant keep the RV parking spaces, as originally approved, or submit a Specific Plan Amendment to allow additional storage building spaces. PC8 -12 -97 I I Planning Commission Meeting August 12. 1997 3. Commissioner Seaton asked why the applicant was requesting the change to the RV parking. Staff stated the original buyer fell out of the purchase and the new buyer is not interested in having the outdoor RV parking spaces. Commissioner Seaton stated that due to the recent problems regarding RV parking, she hated to see it go. Staff stated they had informed the applicant that this is a sensitive issue to the City and the process they will have to go through to change the project. 4. Commissioner Woodard asked what the walkway was that was adjacent to the office manager's building on the right side of the building. Mr. Kenneth Carrell, architect for the project stated it was the walkway leading into the manager's residence to allow him a private. entrance. 5. Commissioner Woodard asked what the zoning was to the east of this site. Staff stated it was CR- Regional Commercial and Commercial Park. Commissioner Woodard stated the site is roughly one football length in depth and two football fields wide, and asked, if the Fire Department had determined whether or not they could get in or out of the site. Staff stated that since it is similar to what was previously approved, it was not resubmitted to the Fire Department. The Fire Department will have transmitters to enter the security entrance gates that access north and south adjacent to the office. Commissioner Woodard stated his concern that if there were a fire or accident there is only one way out. Staff stated the previous proposal had two gates. The applicant stated there were two gates at the front only. 6. Commissioner Woodard stated the approved proposal had a break up of the wall along Dune Palms Road and now the insets are being eliminated. Staff stated this was a change of the new owner. 7. Commissioner Tyler stated that in the staff report it appeared that this project was being tied into the Auto Mall project which was a great distance away. Staff clarified that the reference in the staff report was not to the Auto Mall project, but tp the uses contained within this Specific Plan for Parcel 2 which is for auto repair /retail use. Discussion followed regarding the uses proposed for the project. PC8 -12 -97 12 Planning Commission Meeting August 12, 1997 8. Chairman Butler asked if there was any other public comment. There being none, Chairman Butler opened the meeting for Commission discussion. Commissioner Tyler stated his concern was that the City did enact an RV Parking Ordinance to reduce the RV parking problem in the City. The original proposal allowed relief of this problem. Mr. Carrell, speaking for the applicant stated their intent was to have the vehicles parked inside the building. Commissioner Tyler stated that if that is the intent, he would support the project. 9. Commissioner Seaton asked how many RV's could be parked inside. Mr. Carrell stated it would be determined by how many bays he could get into the plan. It is not known yet how the unit mix will be distributed. 10. Commissioner Seaton asked if the number of RV's would be greatly reduced. Mr. Carrell stated it should not be greatly reduced, but perhaps less than 10 %. 11. Commissioner Woodard asked staff if Building "C" was an issue that should even be discussed by the Commission at this time. Planning Manager Christine di Iorio stated it would come back to the Commission under the Specific Plan Amendment, if the applicant applied for the change. 12. Commissioner Tyler stated the previous wall was designed to give some relief; now it is back to the "Great Wall of China" concept. He would hate to see the wall regress. Mr. Carrell stated the gaps were removed for security purposes. The buildings were stepped back at those locations so the gap would still be there but would be a full building instead of the wall. Commissioner Tyler suggested the applicant give a lot of thought to the design of the wall and the landscaping. Mr. Carrell stated they have a landscape architect dealing with this project specifically. The landscaping and retention basin are their priorities. 13. Commissioner Woodard asked if there was a.problem having berms in the landscape setbacks when they are also being used as retention basins because you cannot have a berm and a retention basin in the same location. Planning Manager Christine di Iorio stated it was a problem. Staff is recommending the Highway 111 Guidelines incorporate a guideline specifying that retention basins for the project not be within the Highway 111 landscape setback. Commissioner Woodard reminded the Commission that this project is two PC8 -12 -97 13 Planning Commission Meeting August 12. 1997 football fields wide and that is a lot of land. He then asked staff how they could obtain the undulation if this is against retention basin requirements. Staff stated that since the location of the retention basin is not specified within the development standards, it would have to be a condition of the project. At present the grading plan shows the entire retention area within the Highway 111 setback. Discussion followed. 14. Commissioner Woodard asked how the Commission could condition this project to not have the retention basin within the Highway 111 landscape setback. Mr. Carrell stated it was their intention to undulate the retention basin. Commissioner Woodard stated he wanted this requirement added to the conditions. Staff stated they were looking toward requiring the retention within the landscape setbacks be specifically for the street runoff and the site itself contain the retention area for the project so each will serve a different purpose. This would limit the depth of the basins. Commissioner Woodard stated that if this was true it would change the architecture, as the project is built out to the landscape setback. 15. Commissioner Woodard commended the applicant on the design of the managers quarters, but the treatment on Dune Palms Road is lacking. Originally there were three openings, now the great wall. The original design had different heights as well as the undulation. He would recommend that the previous approvals be required to be brought into this application and . require additional roof elements on Dune Palms Road as this had deteriorated drastically from what they approved. 16. Commissioner Gardner agreed with Commissioner Woodard. 17. Commissioner Kirk agreed with the lack of articulation on Dune Palms Road and the deterioration of the design on the project frontage. 18. Chairman Butler stated there were a lot of concerns that have been raised. As Building "C" is not a part of this approval it will come ,back for consideration at a later date. The architectural design on Dune Palms has been changed enough to be an issue. The retention basin, as designed, is in conflict with what the City is trying to do with berming in the landscape setback areas. How does the Commission address the major design changes that could be caused due to retention basins in the landscape setbacks? Planning Manager Christine di Iorio stated that as they could affect the overall project, they could be brought back with the Specific Plan Amendment. PC8 -12 -97 14 Planning Commission Meeting August 12. 1997 19. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by Commissioners Tyler /Gardner to continue this project to come back with the Specific Plan and address all design and retention basin issues at that time.

Commissioner Gardner withdrew due to a possible conflict of interest. 2. Planning Manger Christine di lorio presented the information contained in the staff report, -a copy of which is on file in the Community Development Department. 3. Mr. Morey Mortinson, representing KSL, stated he submitted the plans as he had in previous, years. He then went on to explain the project. 4. Chairman Butler asked if Code Enforcement or outside agencies would have to make an inspection before the event. Staff stated that if there were to be any outdoor stages on the grounds they will need to have a building inspection. Discussion followed regarding the project circulation and the conditions. 5. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by Commissioners Abels /Seaton to adopt Minute Motion 97 -011 approving Minor Temporary Outdoor Event 97 -146, subject to the conditions as recommended by staff.

' COMMISSIONERS ITEMS: PC8 -12 -97 15 i- VIE COR STAFF REPORT PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: AUGUST 12, 1997 CASE NO.: SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 96 -590 - AMENDMENT #1 REQUEST: APPROVAL OF SITE AND BUILDING AREA REVISIONS FOR PARCEL 3 OF TPM 28422, RELATING TO THE APPROVED SELF - STORAGE USE PROPOSED BY LAPIS ENERGY. LOCATION: EAST SIDE OF DUNE PALMS ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 600 FEET SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 111 (47 -250 DUNE PALMS ROAD) AS SHOWN ON ATTACHMENT 1 APPLICANT: PROPERTY OWNER: DEVELOPER: ENGINEER: ARCHITECT JORDAN ARCHITECTS, INC. (MS. KIM TRAVIS) LAPIS ENERGY ORGANIZATION, INC. MR. JULIAN SAUNDERS (ALLSTATE SELF - STORAGE) RON MARTIN AND ASSOCIATES (MR. RON MARTIN) SAME AS APPLICANT On February 4, 1997, the La Quinta City Council approved Site Development Permit 96 -590, one of four applications filed by the applicant for the referenced site. This approval was granted based on Conditions as recommended by the Planning Commission on January 10, 1997. Approvals were also granted for a Specific Plan, Conditional Use Permit, and Tentative Parcel Map. On April 8, 1997, the Planning Commission approved minor modifications to Parcel 1 of the Site Development Permit, which contains the Lapis fueling station, convenience store and restaurant uses. Those modifications involved relocating the separate CNG pumps to the main fueling pump island, deleting the CNG canopy, and rotating the main pump island and canopy 90 degrees. An 800 square -foot equipment building was also moved to a location 10 feet away from the east property line, across from the main canopy on the west. CAcorel \perpt \lapamdt 1. wpd It was determined by the Commission that these modifications did not result in significant project changes based on the Conditions of Approval, and therefore the modifications were approved by the Planning Commission. The applicant proposes revisions to the existing approval for the self- storage warehouse parcel. These revisions are illustrated in the attached plan and elevation reductions immediately following this report; larger 11" x 17" exhibits have been included in the Planning Commission packets. The following elements highlight the extent of the proposed changes: • Adding a second internal storage building of 30,900 gross square feet, increasing the overall building area for Parcel 3 from 66,810 to 92,700 square feet, • Reducing the staggered 10 foot average setback along the east property line to zero, • Minor architectural, siting and parking changes, primarily related to the on -site manager's office /quarters. STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES: Issue #1 _ Additional Storage Building The revised project now includes a Building C where the previous outdoor RV storage area was proposed, as shown on the overall site plan. This building addition, along with other modifications affecting the overall building area, increases the current building area by 25,900 square feet, or 39 %. This exceeds the allowable floor area, as dictated by the specific plan, of 66,810 square feet. A specific plan amendment is required to allow this increase. In addition, Building C replaces "36 full -size RV spaces" as called for and approved in the Specific Plan for Lapis (SP 96 -028). While these full -size spaces were shown on the approved plans as approximately 10' x 60', the largest spaces proposed are 12' x 40' (4 count), 12' x 35' (2 count) and 14' x 35' (1 count). As the RV spaces and total building area for Parcel 3 have been set forth in the approved specific plan, these two revisions cannot be approved without a specific plan amendment. Issue #2 - Layout Redesign The revised site layout for the self- storage facility proposes a zero- setback along the easterly property line. This is allowable under the approved specific plan for the overall project; the conditions of approval require that the specific plan document be revised to incorporate all provisions of SDP 96 -590. The zero setback is also consistent with the original approval, which allows the east retail building on Parcel 2 to be located at the property line as well. C: \core) \perpt \lapamdt 1. wpd Another significant change in siting relates to staggering of the elevations along Dune Palms Road. While the revised elevations still incorporate the concept of varying building setbacks to relieve the effects of the linear building design, it is done to a lesser degree. Along Dune Palms Road, the current approval incorporates four separate structures and several varying building recesses, ranging from 15 to 29 feet from the ultimate Dune Palms right -of -way. The revised proposal uses three recess treatments along a single structural elevation, with the building. facings varying from 20 to 31 feet from the ultimate right -of -way for Dune Palms (see Attachment 2). The revised site plan reflects a minimum of 20 -foot landscaped setback for Dune Palms Road. Issue #3 - Architectural and other site changes The proposed architecture is similar to that previously approved for the entire specific plan area. The manager's office has been redesigned and reduced in total size from 3,037 to 2,300 square feet, with its overall height at 23 feet as required by Condition 83 of the site development permit approval. The architectural aspects of this building constitute the most significant changes, with elimination of some of the contemporary features, such as the glass block areas, rounded stucco columns and cornice treatments previously approved. This brings about the issue of compatibility with the overall specific plan architecture. Attachment 3 presents the current and proposed architecture for the office /manager's building, while Attachment 4 illustrates the contemporary style approved for the auto retail parcel adjacent to the north of this site. The roof and building lines are consistent, but features such as window and door treatments characterize a somewhat different appearance than that associated with the proposed manager's office architecture. The roof lines and treatment for the storage structures are similar to those previously approved, and the same colors /materials as employed for the overall project are proposed for these revisions. Concrete masonry units (split -face block) are proposed for the wainscot areas, also consistent with Condition 83. Attachment 5 illustrates the proposed and existing approved elevation along Dune Palms Road. A landscaping plan has not been submitted. Staff has directed the applicant to incorporate landscaping design with the overall plan in preparation for the entire specific plan area. This will come before the Planning Commission for approval at a later date. The applicant has slightly redesigned the parking area, resulting in one additional stall for a total of six. The applicant will have to. revise his grading and drainage plans as may be required by Public Works. With the exception of adding Building C, staff does not have any concerns with the changes as proposed. They do not significantly affect the concept, intent or provisions of the originally approved project. The Planning Commission can approve these new revisions without approving Building C; the applicant will have to go C: \core) \perpt \lapamdt 1. wpd through the specific plan and site development permit amendment processes later, or amend this request and begin that process now. By approving.the balance of the request, the applicant can continue to work through the building permit process during these amendment requirements. Adopt Minute Motion 97 approving Site Development Permit 96 -590, Amendment #1, as proposed, excluding the addition of Building C.

Based on the conditions completed to. date, the majority of the work thus far, primarily in relation to landscape improvements, is essentially in compliance with the approved landscape plans. The following comments apply: 1 . South retention basin has not been landscaped or otherwise addressed in terms of erosion control. The grading /drainage plans should have been prepared based on appropriate slope and basin design standards, or. they would not have been approved. This raises the question as to the nature of revisions which may have caused the original retention design to be altered. If revisions are necessary to protect properties from hazard due to flood and erosion potential, then aesthetics associated with landscape improvements become compromised. The developer will need to submit revised landscape treatment for this area based on required Public Works revisions to slope and retention characteristics, and 4nstall said treatment(s) prior to any final releases. 2. Completion of parkway landscape improvements, while understood as not a part of the developer's contract, still need to be addressed. The City requires that all improvements associated with a given project be completed prior to final inspection /utility release. Contractual obligations not involving the City are just that. Responsible party shall install approved parkway landscaping (adjacent to sidewalk) prior to any final releases. 3. The approved building plans show the split face masonry block inserts as a Dunn Edwards blue, matching the stucco joints. This is not the case where such inserts are located on Buildings A and E. 4. The landscape improvements are consistent with the approved landscape plans for Allstate Storage, to the extent that they have been installed. Based on the improvements around the manager's office /caretaker unit, this Department would agree to a 30 -day temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the office only, subject to revocation at the end of said time if project has not met final occupancy requirements and complied with the items identified herein. c: Community Development Director Building and Safety Director Building and Safety Manager Counter Technician; Building and Safety i P.O.

Your premises has been determined to be in a census tract which is over - concentrated with licenses. Please contact the city planning department regarding this matter. Keep in mind that this letter must be issued by the City Council ONLY, unless the City Council (in writing) delegates the authority to issue public convenience and necessity determinations to the planning department. A finding of "Public Convenience and Necessity" basically means that the applicant premises will provide for the convenient patronage of the public whereby that convenience does not already exist in the immediate area. Also, necessity implies that the premises is needed by the community. The absence of this letter or a letter from the City Council which indicates that your premises will not provide for public convenience & necessity will require us to deny your application.

Full size plans of these revisions have been inserted in the Building Departments check set. An extra set of these revisions is enclosed for you with this letter: 1. SHEET A1.1 SITE PLAN Fire hydrant layout has been revised to match civil drawings. Parking layout has beery revised � to- accommodate access to the hydrants. See Sheet A1.1 for layout. 2. SHEET A3.1, 3.5 BUILDING A: Stucco reveal is continued and C.M.U. insert is added on west elevations as per Sheet A3.1. Stepped wall detail is added to screen wall next to gate on north elevation as per Sheet A3.1. BUILDING E: Stucco reveal and C.M.U. inserts are added along entire elevation as per Sheet A3.5 34700 Pacific Coast Highway, Suite 203, Capistrano Beach, CA 92624 -1349 (949)443-0011 FAX: (949) 443 -0022 E -Mall: jordonAR @pacbell.net r ♦� y Mr. Wally Nesbit, Associate Planner City of La Quinta June 15, 1999 Page -2- 3. SHEETS A6.2, A6.3 Manager's unit roof plan and west elevations have been revised to have a hipped dormer, instead of a gable dormer, as per roof plan, north elevation, west elevation on Sheet A6.2 and building Section A6.3. 4. LIGHTING Site lighting plans have been revised by the electrical engineer. Exterior light fixtures have been changed from wall packs to fully shielded down - lights, as, per the revised fixture schedule. As we discussed on the phone on June 10, 1999, we are proposing only one landscape light at a tree in the landscape peninsula at the driveway entrance, as per the site lighting plan. This light will accent the project entrance. As you indicated during our phone conversation, that since only one landscape light is being used, then a "landscape and ambient lighting plan" will not be required for your review. This letter and the revised drawing sheets are being submitted to the Building Department. Please contact me if you have any questions or unresolved issues. Sincerely, Jordan Architects, Inc.

These should reflect the revisions made 4/11/99 and verified on 5/13/99. Sheet A3.2 shows aluminum stucco reveals on Building B, east elevation, as Mission Blend and adjacent wall color; while this was not previously noted, these should be Dunn - Edwards 587 (Blue Mood), as used in the rest of the buildings. Sheet A9.2 does not show Detail 48 for masonry block inserts /accents treatment, as included in last plan check set. 2. Sheet A6.2, north elevation, has been corrected to show a hipped dormer. 3. Check set needs to include details for wall -pack and other building- mounted security and area lighting fixtures. It is understood from the project architect that no landscape area or other lighting will be incorporated, beyond an uptight at the entry drive, in front of the manager's office. One Hubbel 309 fixture is shown in this area on Sheet E1.1 .

Planner Subject: 2nd Planning check; Allstate Storage COMMENTS / INSTRUCTIONS: I have reviewed a set of plans received from our Building Department on 4/30/99, relative to comments provided to you on 3/22/99. Our review indicates that those items remain have been addressed, as follows: 1 . Sheets A3.1, 3.2 - • Color for CMU wainscot areas has been revised to Angelus Block #200, in accordance with the approved sample board. • Masonry block inserts /accents shown as Angelus .Block #200 and stucco reveals shown as Dunn - Edwards 587 (Blue Mood) are acceptable in accordance with the approved sample board. Detail 48 for this treatment is now shown on Sheet A9.2. • Revise plan elevations in accordance with approved plans as follows: Building -A - continue stucco reveal and CMU insert west elevation, as this is visible from Dune Palms Road. North elevation wall /gated entry area should incorporate a stepped pilaster (see attached portion from Planning- approved elevation). B it in E - provide stucco reveal and CMU inserts along entire elevation per approved plans. • Building coping areas are now shown as a natural grey concrete as approved. • Sample information on finish designations have been addressed. 2. Sheets A 6.2 - Check manager's unit roof plan and west elevation, which indicates a hipped dormer, against the north elevation, which shows a gabled end. Council approved conditions required a revised roof line, which would be addressed by the hipped dormer shown. .1 • Details 3 and 8 re: wrought -iron gating, schedule now shows paint to match Dunn - Edwards 587 (Blue Mood), as approved. 4. Lighting - Per Ch. 9.100.150 of the Zoning Code, all metal halide and high - pressure sodium fixtures must be fully shielded (i.e. below the horizontal light plane). Specifically, wallpack.and pole- mounted fixtures shown are a concern. Please provide specs /details for the pole- mounted standard and the two wall - pack fixtures in order to verify shielding requirements. As a suggestion, all concrete masonry and stucco should be sealed in order to allow easier cleaning of potential graffiti. The City has an aggressive graffiti removal /clean up program, and such treatment would make removal more effective. The landscaping plans submitted as part of the check set are stamped approved by CVWD. Therefore, our prior comments pertaining to landscape irrigation, which were sent to Mike Bunganich last August, are no longer a concern. However, landscape lighting has not been incorporated. Staff suggests use of Hubbel 309 (bullet - style) fixtures, consistent with those used in the approved plan for the Lapis improvements, and Parcels 1, 2 and 4. A landscape and ambient lighting plan needs to be submitted for review prior to any installation of such lighting. The appropriate sheets need to be revised and incorporated into corrected construction drawings submitted to the Building Department. You may reach me at 760- 777 -7069 with any questions.

I apologize for the fact that we did not see these plans until 3/10, but I have been as diligent as possible in reviewing the project for Planning compliance. Sheets A3.1. 3.2 - • Approved coloring for CMU wainscot areas is Angelus Block #200, not #202, in accordance with the approved sample board. • Masonry block inserts /accents and stucco reveals are to be Dunn - Edwards 587 (Blue Mood), in accordance with the approved sample board. Detail 48 for this treatment is not shown on Sheet A9.2. • Approved plans call for stucco joints and inserts to be incorporated with all elevations, excluding only Buildings B (east) and A (west). However, due to lack of landscaping along that elevation, it is strongly suggested that those treatments be incorporated with these elevations as well. • Building coping areas were approved as a natural grey concrete. • We have no sample information on finish designations E, G, L and M. 2. Sheets A9.1 through 3 - • Several details referenced on prior sheets are missing. • Details 3 and 8 re: wrought -iron gating, need to paint to match Dunn - Edwards 587 (Blue Mood), as approved. 3.

At his request, .I am forwarding this information to you. Previously, I had worked primarily with Mr. Kenneth Carrell and Mike Bunganich, whom I understand from Mr. Saunders are no longer with your office. Here are the initial comments regarding the subject plan check review. 1 . While it is understood that the sidewalk /parkway is NAP of your contract, it should be shown consistent with the required plan for the improvement. You should be aware that Lapis will need to revise the sidewalk location to be separated from any curb contact. To avoid confusion, it may be best to show the parkway area as a blank area, labeled as NAP. 2. Sheet L - 2; drip emitter detail - Eliminate the use of distributional tubing in favor of appropriate spray or bubbler fittings. Tube systems do not hold up well in the desert environment and require a greater maintenance, effort. 3. There is some overlap of this plan with areas covered by the Lapis landscape plans, specifically at the manager's unit and the interface with Parcel 4 at the south end of the project. Lapis' plans are not illustrative of the approved site and grading plans and will need to be updated, which may resolve this concern. In the interim, areas of responsibility need to be more clearly delineated. 1� 4. The Dune Palms Road frontage needs to be consistent with parkway and other landscaping done by Lapis; currently the parkway common to your project area . is shown by the Lapis plans to. incorporate purple and yellow Lantana in areas between curb and sidewalk, with turf beyond the sidewalk's interior edge. 5. The approved Lapis landscape plan provides for a 2" layer of Palm Springs Gold fines. as a planter area cover. The . materials proposed for this plan (i.e. decomposed granite) should be compatible in appearance to this. 6. No landscape lighting is specified. Plans must show landscape lighting locations and details, in compliance with Zoning Code Section 9.100.150, Outdoor Lighting. As information to you, my understanding the last time I spoke with Mike was that he had been through initial plan check with the Coachella Valley Water District with only minor corrections. This was some time ago and I have not spoken with anyone since then. I have also included our landscape comments on the Lapis Energy plans submitted to us the week of 7/27.

After our phone conversation on November 201h you had said that the information regarding the changes would be sent via mail. I am aware that no final inspection or certificate of occupancy will be issued without the. necessary revisions being made to the specific site plan. We are nearing the end of construction and would like to take care of this matter as quickly as possible. So that this does not become a problem for Mobil or Allstate Storage, please send me an itemized list of all the things that need to be changed and any other necessary information at your earliest convenience.

This was to be done prior to issuance of a building permit, but was interpreted to mean prior to any final inspections in the interest of moving various aspects of the project forward. As a result, the City issued building permits for the Lapis Energy site (DSUSD Parcel 4), Mobil Oil station at Dune Palms and Highway 1 1 1, and intends to issue a permit for Allstate Storage once they have completed their plan check requirements. While it is the responsibility of Lapis Energy to revise and submit this document as the original developer, the City's responsibility is to ensure that approval conditions are complied with, notwithstanding private developer agreements. This letter is provided to inform you that no Certificate of Occupancy or final inspection can be given for any site within this project area until a revised specific plan document has been submitted and accepted as accurate by the City. Please contact our office for the required items which must be provided in the revised specific plan when you are ready to begin work on the document.

They have indicated that Building is essentially ready to issue the permit pending some minor outstanding items (school fee payment, etc.). I have reviewed the job set of their plans and find that for the most part, everything has been addressed. The following items I consider to be very minor and I feel that we should be able to sign the green sheet. Attached is a copy of the last Planning corrections sent out, with my notations based on today's review of the job set, as well as the job set itself. 1. Condition 87 requires landscape planters with mature tree stands of varying height. This is more appropriately addressed in the revisions to the landscape plan for this project, which have yet to be resubmitted. 2. Item 2 - Bike rack is shown and listed as a 6 -stall rack, while the project summary on the cover page calls out 5. 3. Item 6 - I cannot verify lighting of fuel dispenser upper cabinets. Displays may need to be lit, but there doesn't appear to any lighting of the upper dispenser area. This was not a condition of the project in any case. 4. Item 8 - Sheet S -11 provides refuse enclosure details, but based on Condition 6 of SDP 96 -590 as amended, Waste Management sign -off is not required until prior to Certificate of Occupancy. Perhaps this sheet should be removed at this time for approval as a separate aspect of the project. 5. Item.9 - Page GP -01 lists an area light at note 45 and pole spec at note 46, but the plans do not show locations for such lighting. It has been indicated that they will ask for a separate approval. for parking area lighting; this may relate to #5 below. 6. Sheet G -0.4 - Painting notes still refer to car wash specs, which is not part of this approval. It appears that some of these items are standardized and may not apply to every application by Mobil. As there is no plan for a car wash to be established, this note lacks any real significance, in context of these plans. I have been asked by Josh Hunter of Danberg to respond to him as soon as I have had, a chance to look at the plans, in order to advise him of any further concerns. I think that based on the nature of the above items, the permit can be issued.

These reports are required as a condition of site grading. It is our understanding that you purchased your portion of the Lapis properties fully graded according to the A/S Associates grading plan, and this plan was approved with the condition that the soils and archaeology reports be submitted. The city has stated that our plans will not be approved until the Lapis grading is first accepted as complete. RMA has contacted the Lapis consultants, and has been informed that their work is complete, but they will not release the final reports until they are paid. Please contact the Lapis organization to expedite the payment of their charges as your project is ready for approval when the city receives the Lapis consultant reports.

Re: Archaeological clearance for Lot c�, Dune Palms and 111, La Quinta Dear Mr. Martin At the request of your office and the office of Julian Saunders, I am submitting this proposal to provide archaeological clearance for Lot 3 of the property at Dune Palms and Highway 111, formerly known as the Lapis Energy project. I understand that Lot 3 is approximately 1/3 the size of the whole property on which I did my. professional studies. Since Mr. Leopard owes me $5400.00, it seems fair to request $1800.00 plus two hours at $75 /hr for a total of $1950.00, to provide the results of my study and archaeological clearance to proceed. If this is amenable to you, we still need to work out the details with Mr. Nesbit at the City, regarding type of rnport or letter needed from my office (thus the extra two hours). It is regrettable that this land has so many problems attached to it. I sincerely wish you the best results in your development project. Sincerely, race Love, Principal CRM TECH cc.

With the Mobil station and Allstate storage in plan check, and the DSUSD refueling site now issued, it is appropriate to bring your attention to certain items. 1. A revised specific plan document for the entire site (SP 96 -028) must be submitted prior to issuance of a building permit for the Mobil or Allstate storage uses. This is necessary to update the document to reflect the changes approved by the City Council in April, pertaining to the Mobil and Allstate Storage proposals. 2. Trash and recycling facility siting and details are to be approved in writing by Waste Management, and shall be submitted prior to any Certificate of Occupancy. 3. The landscaping for the Mobil parcel must be revised along Highway 1 1 1 due to changes required by the City Council approval of Amendment #1 (Condition 53). Staff has met with RGA on this issue and provided clarification on this revision. The revised plans were submitted the week of 7/27 for review to both Public Works and Community Development for initial review. Review and approval is also required by CVWD, the County Agricultural Commissioner's office and Public Works (Condition 48), which does charge for landscape plan checking services. 4. Condition 54 requires a standard landscape maintenance contract covering the entire specific plan area to be approved by the City prior to any Certificate of Occupancy. 5. Condition 61 relates to fees for Art in Public Places. You have previously MAILING ADDRESS - P.O. BOX 1504 - LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA 92253 indicated that this project would include some form of artwork or landmark relating to the archaeological resources investigated on site. To date we have not seen any such proposal, although the revised landscape plan shows a mounded area in the central portion of Parcel 2. 6. The Mobil fueling station is currently in plan check, and has been forwarded to our department from Building and Safety. There are several items which need to be addressed, which are outlined in the attached notes which have been faxed to Bob Neubauer for inclusion with other plan check items. Of primary concern is the parkway improvements and landscaping as they relate to the meandering sidewalk along Dune Palms. The sidewalk should not come in contact with the back of curb. This has been conveyed in the plan check comments as well. We are coordinating review comments on both the Allstate landscaping and your revised landscape plan as submitted the week of July 27, and will forward those comments to you as quickly as possible.

Based on that review, the following comments are made. 1. Lighting details have been submitted for the wall -pack lighting of the enclosure's interior (see attached), as well as the pole lights for the pump island. The concern with the enclosure lighting is that it is a metal halide type, which requires full shielding (Note 3 on Table 1001, attached, is not clear on this) and must be in enclosed luminaries. Symbol 46 as described on Sheet GP -01 shows the poles at 15 feet. The pole lights appear to be low- pressure sodium at 180 watts, with a clear glass lens. There will be two poles, with two luminaries each. Some of the designations for -this symbol are not apparent in the detail sheet. I don't see the height to be a problem. 2.

As was sug6asted, I have enclosed three versions of the West elevation that have, been "dressed up" as requested by the Planning Commission. As Mr. Nesbit and I discussed, we have not included a version that inciodes a hipped roofline for the following reasons. To begin with, the entire center has a co- ordinated style of architecture. All structures include a large "block -like " mass that is accented with wings or smaller elements incorporating hipped rooflines. This allows for continuity throughout the development. The second reason is simply a lack of symmetry. To incorporate a hipped roof on one side of the mbiA element would throw the entire structure off balance while minimizing the impact of the hipped roof detail 9f the "wings" on either side. Option 1 p - introduces the trellis feature as reviewed on 12/23/97 as an outdoor patio that includes seating and potted plants. In response to the request for windows, we have added more glass block inserts. This gives the implication of additonal windows while allowing us to maintain "back of house" requirements fdr the food service portion of the C- store. Option'41 apd do not add the trellis, but instead include architechtural recesses that incorporate additional glass block in one instance, and flowering vines in another. Our goak ha,f arrays been to complete a development that pleases the city while serving both the community ands our clients effectively. We hope that you will find one of these solutions acceptable.

Box 231310 Encinitas, CA 92023 RE: Processing Status for Specific Plan 96 -028, Amendment #1 and Site Development Permit 96 -590, Amendment #1 Dear Mr. Gabbard: Based on the meeting held January 29 between Lapis Energy, Jordan Architects, Allstate Storage and City staff, this letter summarizes the outcome of that meeting and outline the requirements for the above applications in order to be deemed complete for their processing. Please be aware that the Allstate Storage revisions require . a specific plan amendment and site development permit amendment application. The revisions proposed by Lapis are architectural in nature and will be reviewed as part of the site development permit revisions. These applications have been filed and are under review to determine a processing. schedule and to evaluate the information submitted, based on our meeting of January 29. Please also be aware that no signs are being considered as part of these applications. A separate sign application must be submitted for review and approval, in accordance with the procedures outlined in Chapter 9.160 of the Zoning Code. The relationship of. the overall grading and drainage concept to the Allstate Storage revisions were discussed: • It was verified that the expanded retention area along the south side of the storage parcel would accommodate drainage from Parcels 3 and 4, with outfall to the easterly DSUSD. basin via drainage easement. • Additional retention capacity will be necessary adjacent to the proposed storage office building to accommodate minor sheet flow from Parcels 2 and 3,. with the necessary details to be decided between Lapis and Allstate. �a MAILING ADDRESS - P.O. BOX 1504 - LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA 92253 ���' Si • Parcels 1 and 2 (Lapis) will incorporate retention area into the landscape setback areas along Dune Palms Road and Highway 1 1 1 . Parcel 3 (Allstate) will address their frontage within the Dune Palms landscape setback area and up to their building and parking areas. The setback shall incorporate landscape berming of 3 to 5 feet in height, and retain the landscaping concept; materials and locations as approved by the City on October 28, 1997 per the plans of. Ron Gregory and Associates, as may be feasible -in consideration of the above requirements. The proposed revisions to Parcel 1 and 3 were discussed, relating primarily to the need for consistency in appearance for all buildings and structures throughout the entire project. There was consensus on the following items: • The architecture for the Allstate and MobilMart portions of the project were considered appropriate; however, the colors and materials will require some modification in order to maintain a consistent overall project appearance between these uses, keeping in mind that there are additional uses not yet proposed. The intent is to provide a consistent' framework for colors and materials that still allows some degree of variation for each prospective use in the overall specific plan. • Jordan Architects and Bundy /Finkel Architects will be coordinating the material and color schemes to be used for their respective clients. Final proposed color /material boards and colored architectural drawings representative of same will be submitted. The partially- covered equipment pad must be designed to blend in with the remainder of the project. This structure was not indicated on the originally approved site plan for this parcel, and no building area or footprint is shown except on plan check drawings. - • This item will need to be considered as part of the Site Development Permit amendment application and may be part of the Specific Plan amendment, per decision of the Community Development Director. • The City may be amenable to allowing permitting of the facility infrastructure for Parcel 4, with no utility releases to be granted until the structure in question has been re- designed, permitted and completed. The following information. will need to be incorporated into revised plans for resubmittal to this Department. o MA ' :Z•11•� There are some additional items which need to be addressed pertaining to this proposal: • Provide a color /material board, prepared in coordination with Lapis Energy proposed materials for their MobilMart. Also provide a colored architectural representation of the elevations for the storage buildings and manager's office. Any changes to colors /materials shall be revised on the elevation sheets and re- submitted to this Department. • Provide a revised landscape plan of all areas for which the client is responsible. The revised plan shall reflect the current proposed drainage and grading characteristics for the site and the landscape setback design as discussed at the January 29 meeting (delete retention, berming, etc.). A colored representation of the plan needs to be provided, and the plan shall include a minimum of two sections through the Dune Palms frontage to illustrate the landscaped setback relief relative to the roadbed and to the storage /manager buildings along Dune Palms Road. The plan shall show the entirety of the frontage landscape improvements, which includes the areas already completed by RGA, and any adjustments in the approved landscape plan necessary to allow retention removal and berming requirements. Any landscaping changes must minimize or exclude the use of oleander species due to concerns expressed by the Planning Commission during approval of the overall landscape plan for the Lapis development. • A.lighting plan for, landscape, parking and security aspects of the project shall be submitted for review. Any uplighting of trees and other landscaping is inconsistent with the City's Outdoor Light Control provisions, unless installed below. grade elevations. • The specific plan text revisions require some minor changes, the noted pages with changes or questions are enclosed with this letter. • A detail exhibit of the gated entryway, with a dimensioned plan view and elevation showing gate construction and materials, is required. This proposal reflects changes initially reviewed by staff in December 1997. Based on the review at that time and the latest submittal, the only concern now appears to be the colors used in the building design for the Parcel 1 structures. • The colors used in the actual MobilMart building detract from the earth tone color scheme originally approved for the overall project, and appear to be excessive in relation to the remainder of the site design. While the material changes are not a concern, the number of different colors employed detract from a consistent appearance for the building. The color scheme should be coordinated with the staff at Lapis and Bundy /Finkel Architects to pare down the overall use of color and determine a more consistent look between the storage buildings and the fueling station structures. A revised color and materials board and corresponding colored elevations will need to be submitted. • The finish schedule on the elevation plans received January 16, 1998 needs to be revised to reflect the appropriate details and call -outs for the colors and materials as currently proposed and /or as may be revised. • , Submit details for the building- mounted light fixtures shown on the MobilMart building. These should also be included on the equipment building elevations for consistency.. It was determined by staff that the enclosure shown on the plan check drawings must be reviewed through the same process as necessary for the other revisions. The design of this enclosure has been determined as inconsistent with materials used in the remainder of the site development permit. There may be some allowance to continue work on establishing the infrastructure pending approval of the enclosure design through the planning process. • Provide a revised - drawing of this enclosure, shovving stuccoed wall finishes, elimination of chain link /barbed wire fencing and gating, and revised materials to be used. Also include a finish schedule and a corresponding color /material exhibit to illustrate the proposed finishes. It is understood that there is a need for an open structure to allow adequate ventilation for the equipment, but a more aesthetic treatment for this enclosure must be developed. • A letter request to allow release of building approval to allow establishment of the site infrastructure as discussed on January 29 will need to be submitted to the Community Development Director for consideration. Staff has indicated that this appears feasible provided that certain conditions to assure that an adequate enclosure is constructed are adhered to if the request is approved. All graphic exhibits should be submitted in the following quantities and format: • Seven (7) sets of large scale exhibits, on 24" x 36" blueline sheets, folded to legal size (8 '/2" x 14 "); • One set of reproducible reductions and twelve (12) copies of same, on 11" x 17" format; • Color /material boards shall be of an adequate size and format for formal presentation /display to the Planning Commission and City Council. Staff defers to applicant's professional discretion as to appropriate size /format. Upon submittal of this revised information, staff will review and coordinate. the requested items and schedule the. matter for consideration. Should you need any clarification or further information in regard to this matter, or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 760 - 777 -7069. Very truly yours, JERRY HERMAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR Wallace Nesbit Associate Planner WN:wn c: Mr. Julian Saunders; Allstate Self- Storage Mr. Michael Bunganich, ASLA; Jordan Architects Mr. Todd Voelker; Jordan Architects Mr. Rob Parker; Ronald Gregory and Associates Ms. Jaime Buell: Bundy /Finkel Architects 2.4 . LAND USE PLAN A full size layout of the Lapis Energy Development was submitted with this Specific Plan which depicts the types, locations, and general organization of land use permitted to occur at the Lapis Energy Development. The Land Use Plan is intended to promote a balanced and functional mix of land uses consistent with the City of La Quinta's General Plan, including goals for orderly, attractive, and high quality regional services.' The Land Use Plan establishes a pattern of land uses and densities compatible with the sites setting and the goals and objectives of the Development. The development is divided into four parcels which include; Parcel 1: Lapis Energy Refueling Site, Parcel 2: Mini Automotive/Retail Center, Parcel 3: Self Storage, Parcel 4: Desert Sands Unified School District Refueling Site. 2.4.1 Lapis Refueling Station The Lapis Energy Refueling site includes unleaded gasoline, diesel fuel, compressed natural gas (CNG) and propane dispensing. The site also include a mini - market which will house a fast food pizza restaurant. The restaurant will include both sit down and take out services. The main building will be-2,500 square feet and will include the mini market, sales area, and pizza restaurant. The pizza preparation area will be 250 square feet and there will be a seating area of 250 square feet. A smaller, 800 square foot, stand alone building which includes the CNG compressor, storage area, electrical services, and the propane tank and dispenser. There will be a canopy covering the unleaded and diesel refueling pumps and another smaller canopy covering the CNG dispensing PUMPS. The Lapis Site will include a monument in honor of the archeological find discussed in Section 1.5. Lapis is working in conjunction with the Tribal Council, the City of La Quinta Planning Department, Arts in Public Places, and a private southwestern artist to develop the monument. 2.4.2 Mini Automotive/Retail Center The Mini Automotive/Retail Center site consists of two retail and automotive shop buildings, and a third smaller building which includes a lube shop. The retail and automotive shop located to the east will 4,604 square feet, the retail and automotive shop located to the.south will be 4, 176 square feet, and the lube shop will be 2,230 square feet. The total building area included on parcel 2 is 11,010 square feet. The site plan allows for tandem parking arrangements-for the service bays. 2.4.3 Self Storage ON E The Self Storage site consists ofselven storage buildings ande'm ers office building with attached living quarters. The storage buildings are approximately 93,000 square feet in area with a separate managers office/living quarters of approximately 3,000 square feet. The storage buildings will accommodate personal storage as well as the parking of recreational vehicles (RV's). Lapis Energy Organization, Inc. Lapis Energy Development Specific Plan 2.4.4 Desert Sands Unified School District Refueling Station The DSUSD Refueling site includes diesel fuel and compressed natural gas (CNG). The site will be installed to primarily fuel the DSUSD school buses and larger warehouse and food service trucks at a site with access directly to the District's Administrative Center, and away from the public usage station located on Highway 111. 2.4.5 Landscape Setbacks Highway 111: The City of La Quinta's General Plan requires a 50 foot landscape setback for walls, buildings, and parking areas. Depending on the landscape concept design, the setback can vary based on review of the design proposal. Dune Palms Road: The City of La Quinta's General Plan requires a 20 foot landscape setback from the ultimate right of way. The preliminary design proposal includes storm run off retention basins within the landscape setbacks. A detailed hydrology and hydraulic analysis will be performed as part of the detailed design phase. 2.4.6 Building Setbacks �o� Cow The City of La Quinta's +Gerretel 4an requires a 10 foot building setback in addition to the 20 foot landscape setback along Dune Palms Road. The Lapis Energy Development significantly conforms to this requirement. All of the buildings included on Parcels 1 and 2 meet this requirement. The design of the self storage includes varying the locations of the outside walls to break up the flat wall effect of the long buildings. At two places, sections of the self storage building external walls are located in the building setback area. Self storage building will allow zero setback along landscape setback and other property lines. Since the encroachment occurs because of the attempt to break up the long flat buildings and enhance the development's overall appearance, and since the encroachment constitutes only a very small percentage of the building areas, it is requested that the development be approved with variable setbacks in certain locations, as determined during site plan review and approval by City Council. 2.4.7 Access Easements The City of La Quinta has -requested an easement through the Lapis Energy Development to the undeveloped property to the east. . The easement will initially be landscaped, and at the time the property to the east is developed, a reciprocal easement and participation in maintenance costs will be required from the abutting property owner. A minimum 24 foot wide right of way is required, with a six foot landscape setback on each side. Lapis Energy Organization, Inc. Lapis Energy Development Specific Plan It has been requested, and the City has indicated it would be possible to locate some of the building elements in the required setbacks in order to compensate for the additional easement the City has requested, relative to the narrow configuration of the site. There is a five foot landscape setback and a ten foot building setback requirement on the east side of the property. It is proposed to move the building setback out to the property line for the Self Storage and Auto Retail buildings that run along the east side of the project. This reduces the potential for a landscape strip that ultimately could become a maintenance problem. There is a 50 foot landscape setback requirement for the parcel adjacent to Highway 111, Parcel 1. The plans do not include encroachment into the 50 foot landscape setback, however, if during the design phase of the project, it is determined that this is required, it is proposed that the Planning Department be given the authority to approve this encroachment. 2.4.8 Parking The parking spaces required for the development were determined using the following calculations: Parcel Requirement Building Area Spaces Required Spaces Provided 1 10-spaces plus one 3,300 SF 23 32 2 space for every 76,230 SF 11,010 SF .118 250 SF 2 - Retail 1 space for every 11,010 SF 37 56 300 SF (for both uses) 2 - Lube 2 per bay 8 bays 16 3 2 spaces for 90,000± 1.3'1$ 8 managers office self storage 3,000 (2 in the managers i ± managers office garage) 4 No building 0 6 Totals 89 111 * - Proposed parking for the self storage facility is shown on the site development plans and is based on parking studies provided for projects of this type and size. 2.4.8 Floor Area Ratios - The floor area ratios (FAR) of each of the parcels are included below.

The use of modem materials and mix textures and finishes reflective of the surrounding desert mountains and dunes allows for aesthetics and long life - low maintenance structures that give a sense of permanence and quality to the development. Color Colors taken from the surrounding mountains will be reproduced on the surfaces of the building walls with variety through "stepped" variations of tonal families. For example, the wainscot on several of the buildings will be of a darker tone than the adjacent wall surface. The top cornice will be in tones either darker or lighter than the wall - depending upon the specific building. Contrasting trim colors will be applied to window and door frames as well as usage in the signage program. All colors will be of earth related tones blended for overall color harmony. Materials C Concrete slabs and walks will be of earth color and will have a variety of simple textures to delineate s 4 the respective use and placement of material. Walls will be concrete block an cement plaste . Concrete blocks will be a combination of smooth and split face textures - utilizing a banding of smooth and rough textures. The split face masonry, in addition to their standard joinery, will have additional joints aligned into panels for additional texture. At the top of the wall, additional texture will be added through the use of multi - scored masonry blocks. Trellis work will consist of metal shapes and masonry/cement plaster columns to add to the articulation of the facades. The predominate exterior building material will be textured or smooth finished ent , and precision or split faced concrete masonry block. Wood, tile and limited wrought iron wn a used as accent materials. The building plans and elevations have been submitted with Site Development Permit #96 -590, along with this Specific Plan. ,i 2.7.2 Landscape Guidelines Planting design follows through with the theme set up at the educational services center with the use of drought tolerant shrubs and trees, such as Cassia, Texas Ranger,. and Acacia. These are accentuated by lawn and citrus trees (thematic along Dune Palms Road). Lapis Energy Organization, Inc.

The Council on a 5 -0 vote denied your request. Should you have any questions on this issue, please give me a call. Very truly yours. L) jJERRHERMAN L Community Development Director c: Thomas P. Genovese, City Manager Tom Hartung, Building and Safety Director MAILING ADDRESS - P.O. BOX 1504 - LA OUINTA, CALIFORNIA 92253 �` RLE CUPW City Council Minutes 3 January 6, 1998 BUSINESS SESSION 1. CONSIDERATION OF WAIVER OF INFRASTRUCTURE FEES FOR LAPIS ENERGY CORPORATION FOR THEIR PROJECT LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF HIGHWAY 111 AND DUNE PALMS ROAD. Mr. Herman, Community Development- Director, advised that Lapis Energy Organization has requested waiver of infrastructure fees in the amount of $25,200. The original request for $48,600 has been reduced since non- retail- generating uses are not permitted exemptions under our policy. An analysis of the applicant's projected revenue was prepared by both the applicant and RSG, but it did not include the applicant's projected profit. He advised that Lapis Energy has chosen not to contribute toward any reimbursement to Desert Sands Unified School District for the cost of constructing Dune Palms Road. In response to Council Member Henderson, Mr. Herman advised that an analysis based on the new figures shows a return of approximately 60% and that the project still falls within the economic development program. In response to Council Member Sniff, Mr. Herman advised that the City agreed in a written agreement to attempt to secure reimbursement for the School District from adjacent property owners for the construction of Dune Palms Road. He advised that trees and right -of -way were donated from the Hammer property on the west side of Dune Palms Road, but Lapis Energy who is the property owner on the east side, has chosen not to participate in the reimbursement. Council Member Adolph felt a precedent might have been set when infrastructure fees were waived for the La Quinta Resort & Club and the One - Eleven La Quinta Shopping Center. Mr. Herman advised that the fee waiver was part of the financial package-in getting the One - Eleven Shopping Center project to come into the City and noted that the La Quinta Resort & Club generates a lot of TOT revenue for the City. Mr. Genovese, City Manager, noted that the fee waiver was also a part of the economic analysis of the shopping center's financial need. He advised that the City generates $1.6 million annually in sales tax. Mayor Pena noted that the City may waive or reduce commercial or industrial fees in cases where the developer demonstrates that the proposed development will generate "significant" sales tax and transient occupancy tax to the City. (A ,- i ,_7 .� � �. . j _�� . i City.Council Minutes 4 January 6, 1998 Council Member Henderson didn't see anything that warrants waiving the fees and felt the developer should pay for an additional analysis to establish that the "need" exists. She stated that she may not support waiver of the fees, but would be willing to work out a payment plan with the developer until the business is established. Council Member Sniff agreed and felt the request should be denied. MOTION - It was moved by Council Members Sniff /Adolph to deny the request of Lapis Energy Corporation for waiver of infrastructure fees. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 98 -02. 2.

CONSIDERATION OF THE REQUEST FROM THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY FAIR & NATIONAL DATE FESTIVAL TO PROVIDE A $20,000 SPONSORSHIP FOR THE 1998 EVENT. Lori Moss, 46 -209 Oasis Street, Indio, National Date Festival Fair Manager, distributed. the pre- brochure for the Fair and advised that they're working to increase local attendance and school tours, as well as senior bus tours. She noted that Palm Desert and Rancho Mirage have each contributed $10,000 in sponsorships toward the shortfall caused by eliminating Marlboro as a sponsor, leaving a remaining shortfall of $5,000. Council Member Sniff supported a $5,000 contribution and suggested they submit any request for next year's event during the budget process this year. T4ty,l 4 4 Qum& COUNCIL/RDA MEETING DATE: January 6, 1998 ITEM TITLE: Consideration of a waiver of infrastructure fees for Lapis Energy Corporation for the project located at the southeast corner of Highway 111 and Dune Palms Road J RECOMMENDATION: As deemed appropriate by the City Council. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: AGENDA CATEGORY: BUSINESS SESSION: CONSENT CALENDAR: STUDY SESSION: PUBLIC HEARING: Granting of the fee waiver would result in the loss of $48,600 to the Infrastructure Fund that would otherwise be paid by this development. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW This item was originally scheduled and placed on the Council agenda for December 16, 1997. The matter was pulled by staff to permit further review of the request. The Lapis Energy Organization has requested financial assistance for the development of a compressed natural gas ( "CNG ") fueling station and an associated mini -mart type development on approximately 8 acres located at Highway 111 and Dune Palms Road (Attachment 1). The developer's request is for a waiver of the infrastructure fees for the entire site, even though approximately one -half the site has been sold for the development of a self- storage facility. The self storage facility, which consists of approximately four acres, does not generate sales tax and is not eligible for a waiver. The developer's proposal indicates that the City will receive a substantial amount of sales tax from fuel sales (bulk and public) and the mini -mart facility. The sales tax is the basis for the City's participation in the project. The City's consultants, Rosenow Spevacek Group (RSG), has reviewed the project information provided by the developer and provides the following information based on the following: 1. Review of the developer request dated October 20, 1997. 2. Gross sales projections for the fueling station and mini -mart. 3. Background and overview of the original eight acre development. CCJH 1� RSG researched the issue of sales tax generation from the sale of fuels. The City's sales tax consultant, HdL, has indicated that State, Federal, and local sales taxes are collected on each sale. The distribution of State and Federal fuel taxes is unlike the traditional retail sales tax generated in each local jurisdiction. State and Federal taxes collected on each dollar of sales are pooled on a State -wide basis, and the collected taxes are allocated to jurisdictions based upon population. In addition to these taxes, each gallon of fuel sales also includes a local sales tax of which one percent (1 %) of the total sale is dispensed to the City where the sale took place (point of sale). The developer's pro forma suggests that the facility will generate approximately $4,200,000 in gross taxable fuel sales starting in year one and increasing by approximately seven percent per year. This suggests sales tax revenue of approximately $42,000 per year with annual increases based upon gross sales. The developer indicates that the City will receive gross sales tax of $651,884 or net present value amount of $384,618 from fuel sales over a period of ten years discounted at ten percent. The City will also receive sales tax from the mini -mart sales based upon the usual one percent of gross sales. The developer's pro forma projects that the City will receive gross sales tax of $220,673, or net present value of $85,825 from the mini -mart over a period of ten years, discounted at ten percent. Taxable gross sales are projected to be approximately $311 per square foot of building area. RSG developed a similar ten year pro forma (Attachment 2) to determine the potential revenue to the City. The analysis indicates that the City is expected to receive gross sales tax revenue of $493,041, or net present value amount of $279,615 over a ten year period. RSG's past projects and analysis reflect a lower sales tax generation from the fuel facility and a higher sales tax generation from the mini -mart facility due to the use of a higher gross sales per square foot. RSG's analysis indicates that facilities such as the proposed mini -mart will produce taxable gross sales of not less than $365 per square foot of building area. The pro formas provided by the developer and RSG's analysis indicate that the total net present value of all sales tax generated over ten years at a ten percent discount rate are $384,618 based upon the developers assumptions, and $279,615 based upon RSG's analysis. Based upon this analysis, it appears that the developer is requesting approximately seven percent of the projected revenue the City would receive to fund his assistance request. 1. The adopted Economic Development Plan for the City calls for a return on investment at a rate of between 12% to 15% cash on cash by the third stabilized year of operation. The applicant's revenue projections for the entire project indicate that the City will receive in year three, $56,675 in sales tax. RSG indicates the City will receive $41,403 in sales tax in year three, which does not provide the rate of return as identified in the Economic Development Plan. CCJH In 1987, the City Council adopted Resolution 87 -39 setting forth the Community Infrastructure Fee Policy (Attachment 2). Commercial, industrial and other non - residential uses are assessed a $6,000 fee per gross acre. The fee is collected at the time a building permit is issued. The City may waive or reduce this commercial or industrial fee in cases where the developer demonstrates that the proposed development will generate significant sales tax and transient occupancy tax to the City. Non -sales tax generally cannot be exempt from the infrastructure fee. The City has waived infrastructure fees in the past for the La Quinta Resort and Club and Transpacific Development, the developer of the One Eleven La Quinta Center at the northeast corner of Highway 111 and Washington Street. FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES: The alternatives available to the City Council are: 1. Authorize the waiver of the Infrastructure Fee; or 2. Provide staff with direction; or 3. Deny the request OL,- / C�i 1 Jerry Herman Community Development Director Attachments: 1. Letter from Lapis Energy Organization 2. RSG Revenue Projects (including Lapis' projections) 3. Infrastructure Fee Policy CCJH ATTACHMENTS s October 20, 1997 Mr. Jerry Herman Community Development Director City of La Quinta 78 -495 Calle Tampico La Quinta, CA 92253 Dear Mr. Herman: ATTACHMENT #1 LAPIS Enargy, Organization Lapis would like to modify our request to the City regarding the waving of Infrastructure Fees for our development. Previously we had asked the City to wave the fee on the total site, which we have discussed a couple of times and to date we have not received an official response to our request. However, since our original request we have entered an escrow to . sell Parcel 3 of our development, which represents approximately 50% of the site. There are several factors pertaining to our development, which affect the economics of our project. The total infrastructure fee for our development we calculated to be $48,600, which Parcel 3 represents about 50 %. Although the development will increase the compressed natural gas ( "CNG ") and liquid fueling infrastructure in the Coachella Valley, the CNG part of our project will not generate positive cash flow for several years. The savings, by the City waiver of this fee on Parcels 1, 2 and 4 will contribute greatly to the economic success of the project. At the time of original request, the Arco AM/PM was La Quinta's fourth largest sales tax revenue generator and we anticipate our sales will be equal to or greater than theirs. As we discussed, the City Manager has been looking at our site as primarily providing compressed natural gas and fuel for the school district, which he thought were both tax exempt. The school district pays sales tax on all purchases and CNG has the same sales tax requirements as liquid fuels, therefore the City will receive substantial tax revenue for the retail sales at our development. We are looking forward to a successful project both for Lapis and the City. Sincerely, Da 4 Dale A. Leopard, President 04 40 135 Saxony Road • P.O.

COUNCIL/RDA MEETING DATE: December 16, 1997 ITEM TITLE: Consideration of a waiver of infrastructure fees for Lapis Energy Corporation for the project located at the southeast corner of Highway 111 and Dune Palms Road RECOMMENDATION: As deemed appropriate by the City Council. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: AGENDA CATEGORY: BUSINESS SESSION: so CONSENT CALENDAR: STUDY SESSION: PUBLIC HEARING: Granting of the fee waiver would result in the loss of $48,600 to the Infrastructure Fund that would otherwise be paid by this development. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW The Lapis Energy Organization has requested that the City provide financial assistance for the development of a compressed natural gas ( "CNG") fueling station and an associated mini -mart type development ( "Project ") on approximately 8 acres located at Highway 111 and Dune Palms Road (Attachment 1). The developer is requesting a waiver for the entire site even though approximately one -half the site has been sold for the development of a self- storage facility. This request for assistance would be the elimination of the development Infrastructure Fee for the site, or approximately $48,600.. Their rational is that the CNG portion of the project will not generate positive cash flow for several years and the City fee waiver will contribute to the project's economic success. The developer justifies this request in that his projections indicate the City would receive $651,885 of sales tax revenue over a ten year period. Since receiving this request, staff has requested that RSG review the developer's projections. During their review, information surfaced that though both State and Federal Taxes are collected from fuel sales, sales tax from fuel sales is not distributed in the same manner as sales tax from retail sales. Typically a city receives one percent (1 %) of the total NO • 01:, sales value in sales tax revenue from retail sales. In the case of fuel sales, the State collects and pools all fuel taxes and allocates the taxes to each jurisdiction on a per capita basis. Therefore, even though the project will generate a significant amount of taxable fuel sales, the City of La Quinta will not receive significant sales tax revenue. The City will, however, receive sales tax revenue from the mini -mart sales based upon the usual one percent (1 %) of gross sales. RSG projects that the project will generate a total of $110,512 in sales tax revenue over a ten year period (Attachment 2). Based upon this project, the fee waiver would be fully refunded during the fifth year of the project's operation. The adopted Economic Development Plan for the City calls for a return on investment at a rate of between 12% to 15% cash on cash by the third stabilized year of operation. The applicant's revenue projections for the entire project indicate that the City will receive in year three, $56,675 in sales tax. The applicant has included sale$ tax on fuel as being funds returned to the City; however, as RSG indicated, fuel sales tax is based upon population and cannot be included. Therefore, without the fuel sales, the City will receive $29,796 in sales tax in year three, which does not provide the rate of return as identified in the Economic Development Plan. As noted earlier in this report, RSG projects the City will not recover the infrastructure fee until year five from the sales tax revenue. In 1987, the City Council adopted Resolution 87 -39 setting forth the Community Infrastructure Fee Policy (Attachment 3). Commercial, industrial, and other non - residential uses are assessed a $6,000 fee per gross acre. The fee is collected at the time a building permit is issued. The City may waive or reduce this Commercial or Industrial Fee in cases where the Developer demonstrates that the proposed development will generate significant sales tax and transient occupancy tax to the City. The City has waived infrastructure fees in the past for the La Quinta Resort and Club and Transpacific Development, the developer of the One Eleven La Quinta Center at the northeast corner of Highway 111 and Washington Street. FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES: The alternatives available to the City Council are: 1. Grant a waiver of the Infrastructure Fee; or 2. Provide staff with direction; or 3.

October 20. 1997 Mr. Jerry Herman Community Development Director City of La Quinta 78 -495 Calle Tampico La Quinta, CA 92253 ATTACHMENT #1 LAPIS Enargy Organization Dear Mr. Herman: Lapis would like to modify our request to the City regarding the waving of Infrastructure Fees for our development. Previously we had asked the City to wave the fee on the total site, which we have discussed a couple of times and to date we have not received an official response to our request. However, since our original request we have entered an escrow to sell Parcel 3 of our development, which represents approximately 50% of the site. There are several factors pertaining to our development, which affect the economics of our project. The total infrastructure fee for our development we calculated to be $48,600, which Parcel 3 represents about 50 %. Although the development will increase the compressed natural gas ( "CNG ") and liquid fueling infrastructure in the Coachella Valley, the CNG part of our project will not generate positive cash flow for several years. The savings, by the City waiver of this fee on Parcels 1, 2 and 4 will contribute greatly to the economic success of the project. At the time of original request, the Arco AM/PM was La Quinta's fourth largest sales tax revenue generator and we anticipate our sales will be equal to or greater than theirs. As we discussed, the City Manager has been looking at our site as primarily providing compressed natural gas and fuel for the school district, which he thought were both tax exempt. The school district pays sales tax on all purchases and CNG has the same sales tax requirements as liquid fuels, therefore the City will receive substantial tax revenue for the retail sales at our development. We are looking forward to a successful project both. for Lapis and the City. Sincerely, Dam Dale A. Leopard, President 135 Saxony Road • P.O.

TO: Community Development Director FROM: Wally Nesbit, Associate Planne(�� DATE: 12/15/97 RE: STAFF REPORT FOR LAPIS INFRASTRUCTURE WAIVER REQUEST In regard to the above, I have some questions about the information in the report dated 12/16/97: 1. The report states that the City typically receives 1 % of the "total sales value in sales tax revenue from retail sales. The report later refers to sales tax revenue from the mini -mart and fast food sales as 1 % of "gross sales ". I assume these two terms are interchangeable? It is also implied that this 1 % will far exceed what we would receive from the State /Federal fuel tax pool allocations. How was this determined? Aren't fuel tax rates higher than sales tax rates? What is the typical per capita allocation? It would help to see a hypothetical comparison of these two revenue streams. It seems to me that the per- capita allocation revenue should be included, because we will receive funds under that formula. The RSG calculations seem to indicate that we will get nothing from fuel sales. Can't some rough numbers be developed based on what the ARCO station has done during its operation? 2. 1 have double checked with Lapis, based on a question posed by John Falconer, and found that the CNG will be piped in from a SCG line and compressed on -site for fuel dispensing. This apparently has ramifications from a sales tax perspective as well. Was this information available to RSG, and how would it affect the revenue analysis? 3. The RSG proforma shows the fast food restaurant at 800 square feet; it was approved at 500 square feet. Based on the floor plan recently submitted, the mini - mart's total gross floor area is about 2,700 square feet, with sales area of 1,160 square feet. 4.

Revise the plan to avoid routing pedestrians behind or through parking spaces Width and color /finish of the concrete walks shall be approved by the - --� Community Development Department. 2. All concrete mowstrip /curbs shall be 4" deep x 8" wide color- conditioned concrete by L. M. Schofield, as required in the Highway 1 1 1 Design Theme. 3. Applicant shall provide a copy of approvals from CVWD and the Riverside County Agricultural Commissioner's Office along with the above required revisions. 4. The Dwarf Oleander (Nerium Oleander "Petite ") shall be replaced with a similar type and size of plant species, due to concern expressed by Commission members regarding the potential for disease. 5. Landscaping for Parcel 3 (self- storage site) shall be reviewed as part of the amended site development permit and specific plan applications which are pending .submittal. Those plans shall incorporate the approved parkway landscaping along Parcel 3 with all on -site landscaping for the revised storage units. Please note that the approval for the final grading permit includes a special condition pertaining to this parcel. It requires that retention areas in the landscape setback along Parcel 3 may not be graded or constructed, until a revision to the grading plan is processed which accommodates the ultimate Planning Commission approval for it's drainage and landscape concept. MAILING ADDRESS - P.O. BOX 1504 - LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA 92253 ®(.� As we had discussed at our meeting of 10/28/97, you are also now considering a possible drive - through use and a modification to the fuel canopy at Parcel 1. These items need to be included in the amendment applications being filed for the self - storage parcel in order to take them to the Commission and Council as one package. I have also been contacted- by Chandler Signs in San .Diego regarding sign requirements for the project. A copy of the applicable regulations has been forwarded for their use in developing a. sign program for review by the Planning Commission. A copy of the approved landscape plan is enclosed for your records and use in preparing the revisions as previously noted in this letter.

There are several items which should be pointed out in regard to the revised landscaping. These responses are also numbered to reference your firm's Project Record sheet, sent to us by Jim Shrope on September 4, 1997 (copy attached). 1. Plans received were twelve 30" x 42" blueline prints. We will also need one reproducible 11 " x 17" size for incorporation into staff reports and packets. As stated in our June 3 letter to you, the City requires that the Riverside County Agricultural Commissioner's office conduct their review for potential non- compliant plant species prior to approval by the Planning Commission. Their office has completed that review and forwarded comments to us (copy enclosed). Please address their concern and furnish a copy of your response. Also, please note the enclosed comments on the revision from Public Works. 2. Our June 3 letter to you indicated several items relating to the Highway 111 Landscape Design Theme, most of which have been addressed. However, the following items are still outstanding: • Supplement Sweet Acacia with Palo Brea and Desert Willow species, as specified in the document. No such species are provided in the revision. • Replace Dwarf Poinciana with Group 3 shrub indicated in the plan palette. You indicate that the suggested Dodonaea Viscosa cannot live in the desert unprotected, and no further shrubs were added. While Dodonaea Viscosa are specifically called out in the Design Theme plan, the Dwarf Poinciana are acceptable due to their location relative to entry plan guidelines. The plan shows Desert Bloom and Feathery Cassia in the appropriate areas; these are acceptable as Group 3 materials. • Provide Group 7 (Medium shrubs) species in areas south of the Highway 111 sidewalk. Calliandra Californica are listed (21 count) but not shown on , MAILING ADDRESS - P.O. BOX 1504 - LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA 92253 ®�_i cscJj plan, and no other Group 7 shrubs are shown in this area. Several other plants do not correspond to the palette (see item B below). 3. We requested the provision of additional shrubs, suitable for screening purposes, along the leading edge of the parking spaces on Parcel 3 and at the spaces for the self- storage parcel. Additional shrubs also appear necessary in the Dune Palms landscape setback, adjacent to on -site parking and travel areas. Based on the quantities shown in these areas, it does not appear that this has been addressed, although some minor re- configurations have occurred. 4. Regardless of contractual obligation, it is required that fence and wall details be prepared for proper screening of parking areas under Chapter 9.150 of the Zoning Code, for review by Planning Commission. The applicant will need to arrange to have this item prepared; however, it can be done now, or at a later date. 5. The revised plan now shows Lantana only between the Highway 1 1 1 curb and sidewalk. The previous plan showed a larger area with additional materials that are now shown back of sidewalk. Our previous reference to Texas Ranger was in error; the materials as shown are appropriate. 6. "Cx" reference has been removed. 7. California Peppers have been removed from the Highway 1 1 1 landscape setback. 8. A defined pedestrian circulation and pathway system is required by Condition 80. Such a system will have to be developed within the parameters of the landscape plan. as approved unless prepared with the plan. 9. The lighting plan as submitted addresses only landscape lights, and no install detail /spec sheet.for the Hubbel 309 has been provided. Condition 77 requires the plan to show lighting heights and details as pertinent. This includes parking area and security lighting, walkway illumination, etc. A separate plan will otherwise be required if the other lighting aspects are not provided here. 10. It is stated that the plan submitted shows 15 -year tree canopies. Shading plans must be submitted to confirm that the shade coverage will provide shading equal to at least 50% of the total parking area (refer to attached). "Total parking area" means only that area covered by parking spaces. Based on further review of the revised plan, there are additional concerns that have been identified. A. The sidewalk location along Highway 1 1 1 has been modified so that the edge of sidewalk shares the back edge of curb. This is inconsistent with the landscape design plan views, which show the sidewalk set out from the curb. The sidewalk width along Highway 111 has been determined at six feet for this project, due to a discrepancy between the approval conditions and the Highway 1 1 1 landscape guidelines. B. The landscape palette needs to be revised to reflect the material counts as shown on the plan. While a significant amount of landscaping was removed or changed due to exclusion of Parcel 3 and other revisions, the only change noted on the palette is the addition of 96 Red Yucca. Enclosed is a copy of the palette from the plan with counts from the plan noted in writing, along with a copy of the original plant palette approved for the specific plan. We have forwarded this information to Jordan Architects as well, .as we recently learned that they are coordinating the specific plan amendment for the self storage parcel labeled "not -a- part" on your plan. Both plant palettes must be made consistent; I suggest you contact Mr. Ken Carrell at 714-443-0011 to coordinate this. C. Additional retention areas are shown, including a temporary basin in the "not -a- part" portion of the plan. This has been forwarded to Public Works to verify with the current grading and drainage plans in review by that department. D. Provide at least one cross - section each of the parkway /retention areas along Highway 111 and Dune Palms Road. This is requested in response to continuing concern expressed by the Planning Commission regarding the appearance and treatment of sloping and berms in these areas. Should you have any questions regarding this information, please do not hesitate to call me at (760) 777 -7069.

Listed below are several items that must be addressed with your submittal and /or which you need to be aware of:' 1. The overall landscape plan as revised by Ron Gregory Associates is under review for presentation to Planning Commission. While it does not include your project area, it does show retention features not noted on the last site plan submitted by . your office. It appears that these plans are not in full coordination, and any landscaping shown on Parcel 3 must be consistent with the overall landscape plan. 2. Our last understanding was that Lapis, as property owner, would prepare and submit the Amendment. Our last contact with them was that they had other issues to contend with and would be submitting that application later. At this point, I assume that you will be submitting the application on Lapis' behalf; if so their signature must be on the application as owner, or provide a new letter of authorization for the specific plan amendment. 3. The following plans and information are required for the specific plan amendment application: • 20 sets of an amended text document, or amended pages thereof, 8 1/2 "'x 11" format, which reflect the new building areas proposed by Allstate Storage and all relevant site aspects which will change from the original approval. The text must either specifically describe the proposed changes, or be more general if the ultimate configuration is not final. As we have stated, how this is done depends entirely on the flexibility of your proposal. If it is going to change again, you do not want to be locked in to a precise number of square feet or parcel layout that will require another amendment if this client changes his mind or a new client wants something different. • A mailing list and 2 sets of labels for all properties within 500 feet of the entire site, prepared and certified by a title company. • Filing fee in the amount of $1,000.00, along with the completed application form and signatures. 4. The following plans and information are required for the site development permit amendment application (the fee and application form were filed with the last submittal): • 13 sets of site, floor, landscape and four -point elevation plans on an 11" x 17" format (one original; 12 reproductions).

Box 231310 Encinitas, CA 92023 SUBJECT: Planning Commission Action on Site Development Permit 96 -590, Amendment #1; Allstate Self Storage Revisions Dear Mr. Gabbard: This is to notify you that on August 12, 1997, the La Quinta Planning Commission took action to continue action on the proposed subject revisions, pending submittal of a specific plan amendment application to address the following issues: • Increase in approved building area due to addition of Building C as proposed, Elimination /reduction of the approved 36 RV parking stalls, • Ultimate configuration of buildings relative to storm water retention requirements, in order to assess impact to building and landscaping design within required setback areas along Dune Palms and Highway 111. A specific plan amendment application was sent to Jordan Architects last week. At this time, the fee for the amendment is $1,000.00 due to the limited scope of the changes, but may increase to $4,000.00 depending on the extent of any additional changes which may be proposed by the applicant. As has been communicated to you several times by this office in writing, the drainage requirements and the design to handle runoff significantly affect building coverage capacity, landscaping design in and around retention basins, etc. This was again an issue brought up by the Planning Commission at the August 12 meeting. As all four parcels are within an approved specific plan, development of each parcel must be designed in a consistent and integrated manner. Unfortunately, this does limit the subject storage parcel in certain respects such as square feet, architecture, landscaping and other aspects that have been specified in the specific plan. It is suggested you look closely at the specific plan relative to Parcels 2 and 3 and make sure that those specifications do not limit you in marketing the parcels to prospective buyers. In order to submit the specific plan amendment application, you will need to contact this office regarding the extent of any changes, in their entirety, that you need or wish to make. MAILING ADDRESS - P.O.

Please note that Sheet L -3 is labeled as a project entry statement as opposed to a major public intersection. For purposes of the Lapis proposal, I have included this sheet to indicate its relation to the Dune Palms /Highway 111 intersection. Another matter is Parcel 3 (self- storage), which is being re- designed as a result of changes desired by the new owner. I have also attached the basic site plan showing how the buildings are now proposed (note the east property line at zero setback and revised parking and perimeter areas). The overall landscape plan should either reflect this or leave the parcel vacant, to have the landscape design done later. Kim Travis at Jordan Architects (714- 443 -0011) is handling this revision, and we have asked that landscaping be shown as part of their submittal Based on the revisions in our June 3 letter, I have contacted Lapis to inform them that Planning Commission review cannot occur until September 9 at the earliest, as the Commission will not meet on August 26 and the window is too short to meet the August 12 meeting for this item. All items in our June 3 letter to you should be addressed and submitted to this Department by Wednesday, August 20 in order to be placed on that agenda.

The intent of this condition is to limit the number of access drives onto the highway, which would reduce the potential for traffic conflicts and congestion. The condition requires reciprocal access between your client's property and the Lapis site; at present, Lapis must grant the reciprocal easement to your client, Mr. Louis Mazzella. Any future development of your client's property will be restricted to one shared location as set forth in the condition; at this time the City staff would not support another individual access along Highway 111 for this property. This same type of condition will be used when development is proposed for the other similarly sized parcels in this area. Please review this condition and share it with your client.

The applicant's half of the raised landscape median is a participatory improvement which will be constructed by others. Bus turnouts, acceleration /deceleration lanes, and /or other features contained in the approved construction plans may warrant additional street widths or other measures as determined by the City Engineer. The City Engineer may require improvements extending beyond development boundaries such as, but not limited to, pavement elevation transitions, street width transitions, or other incidental work which will ensure that newly constructed improvements are safely integrated with existing improvements and conform with the City's standards and practices. 43. Access points and turning movements of traffic shall be restricted as follows: A. State Route 111 - One 28' wide right -in /right -out drive at the east boundary of this development. The applicant /developer shall grant a reciprocal access easement to allow the easterly property access to this driveway. Any modifications necessary and directly related to achieving a shared access situation shall be reviewed by City staff for compliance with applicable conditions and City standards. Upon development of the east property, this .driveway shall be relocated to provide 50% coverage on each property, and be done as part of the east property's improvement requirements." B.

I have not yet been able to meet with her to discuss them, but she did not have a problem with transmittal of my comments to you for your review. Please be aware that these comments do not imply that any particular procedure has been determined for formal review of these changes, nor that any revisions are deemed necessary based on these comments.

IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE ALL PAGES, PLEASE CALL 760 - 777 -7125 CDD QUIK-MEMO TO: Christine Di lorio, Planning Manager FROM: Wally Nesbit, Associate Planner DATE: 5/20/97 RE: SELF - STORAGE RE- SUBMITTAL FOR LAPIS BY JORDAN ARCHITECTS (SURE -SAVE SELF STORAGE) I received a preliminary site plan and elevations on the above yesterday, pursuant to our meeting with Mr. Ken Carrell of Jordan Architects on May 9. After a cursory review of what was submitted, I have the following comments: 1. It was indicated to Mr. Carrell that this could be taken to Planning Commission as a Business Item (non - public hearing), similar to what was done with the last revision to the Lapis fuel station parcel. I don't believe we can proceed in this manner based on the site plan and elevation changes. These will affect the current specific plan provisions as well as conditions pertaining to such things as drainage, fire and building code requirements which could require condition modification to the existing SDP approval. Also, fire code compliance to allow zero setbacks may affect the architecture of the overall structure. While I'm sure that the architect has considered this, it should be verified that the architecture shown is portrayed as it would be constructed pursuant to building and fire code requirements of this use for zero setback. Engineering will likely need to review this to be sure that the current drainage scheme is not significantly affected. 2. The proposed revision shows a gross building area of 92,700 square feet; the current approved area is 66,810 square feet. This is a significant increase in floor area which is not reflected in the specific plan and is not currently part of the SDP approval. 3. The architecture is very similar to that approved for the self- storage facility on Adams Street, which is in some respects markedly different from that approved for the other Lapis parcels. However, the primary elements appear to be consistent with the architectural approval for this parcel, with the exception of building separation and setback variation, primarily along "Building B" east elevation and the office /on -site manager structure. Perhaps more detailed elevations and material use designation on the plans will clarify how these wall treatments will appear. 4. Specific RV storage units are not identified, but based on what has been submitted, Building C is designed for such use and Building D could be potentially. The current approved outdoor RV scheme, where proposed Building C is sited, incorporates angled parking, which will not likely be part of any structural improvement. Again, I am sure that it has been considered by the architect, but I have trouble envisioning large RV's (40 -50 feet in length) maneuvering through individual bay doors via a 28 foot wide accessway and parking at a 90 degree angle without some significant width for those bay doors. I mentioned in my comments on the zoning ordinance that we should have standards for this type of parking; I suggest that we require some verification, as part of the submittal, that there will be minimal turning conflicts associated with on -site circulation of larger RV's. We should also look at the parking requirements for self- storage uses, as neither the Lapis nor Warren Group projects have provided parking to our standard. 5. We will need to verify whether there will be any changes to the landscape plan for this parcel. Require that elevations show plant materials "as approved" for Dune Palms and north and south elevations, based on the Lapis approved plan, or as modified based on any necessary changes in consideration of our letters to Lapis prepared last week. I have called Ken to let him know that we are looking at the plans; I intend to call him this afternoon to update him. Let me know when you have a chance to look at the attached plans and would like to discuss them with me. May 19, 1997 4 78-495 CALLS TAMPICO — LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA 92253 - (619) 777 -7000 FAX (619) 777 -7101 Mr. John Gabbard Lapis Energy Organization 135 Saxony Road, 2nd Floor Encinitas, CA 92024 RE: Planning Commission Action on Site Development Permit 96 -590 Modification Dear Mr. Gabbard: This is to inform you that on April 8, 1997, the La Quinta Planning Commission did take action to approve the referenced subject by Minute Motion 97 -004. This item was approved on the Business calendar and is not subject to further conditions beyond compliance with the scope of the revisions as submitted and approved. LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS As you are aware, the final landscaping plan for the project must be submitted for Planning Commission review and approval. The plan will also require review by the Coachella Valley Water District and Riverside County Agricultural Commissioner after it is approved by the Planning Commission, and must be consistent with the preliminary plan which was conditionally approved by the City Council on February 4, 1997. The on -site landscaping approval is not necessary prior to final map approval,.but is required prior to issuance of a building permit. There may, however, be bonding requirements through Public Works which may be affected by off -site landscape provisions, such as for medians. The landscape plan submitted needs to be based on an acceptable drainage solution being incorporated for the project, and as reflected in the revised layout which was accepted by the Planning Commission. Significant changes in drainage design details which affect the landscape plan after its approval by the Planning Commission may dictate that the plan go back .to the Commission for their acceptance of those changes. It is strongly advised that the ultimate drainage solution be determined in accordance with the revised layout, prior to committing to the final 1andscape design. Based on this, review of the landscape plan has been put on hold, as we have previously discussed, until these items have been addressed. The Community Development Department has conducted a review of the landscape plan and is transmitting those comments to Mr. Rob Parker of Ron Gregory and Associates. A copy of that transmittal will be provided to you under separate cover. MAILING ADDRESS - P.O. BOX 1504 - LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA 92253 i(� 4 ' � ,, r i In regard to the elevations which were submitted with the layout revisions on March 26, there are several discrepancies with the approved plans which would require review by the Planning Commission if you were to proceed based on them: MINI -MART BUILDING East elevation - Window type and area has been changed from that which was approved. Cornices have been removed from gabled roof ends of structure. Entry area has been recessed and steel trellis structure as shown is higher and shallower than on approved plans. 2. North elevation - An additional door and window are now shown. Entry trellis configuration has changed. 3. West elevation - Additional glass block is shown, and the doors previously shown have been deleted. FUEL/CANOPY STRUCTURE 1. Mansard roof treatment is now shown as opposed to approved gabled hip design. 2. The cornices shown on the approved plans are removed in favor of a flush fascia treatment. CNG EQUIPMENT BUILDING 1. Mansard roof treatment is now shown as opposed to approved gabled hip design. 2. An off -set metal partition is now shown, replacing the approved double metal doors on the north elevation. 3. Doors previously shown on the east elevation have been removed. 4. The door shown on the west elevation has been offset to the north from its approved location. If changes are proposed to the architecture beyond what has been approved for the project, then they will also need to be reviewed in light of revisions which have recently been proposed by Jordan Architects, who are working on modifications to the self- storage parcel which will include increased floor area, siting and architectural changes. It has tentatively been determined by the Community Development Director that those changes must go before Planning Commission as a Business item (non - public hearing). As a specific- planned project, all such changes will need to be consistent on an overall project basis to insure continuity of the architecture and siting elements. Therefore, some degree of coordination will, need to take place between these components, as well as how they will affect the existing approved auto retail site and buildings. It is also my understanding that you intended to submit your grading plan for the fueling parcel to the Public Works Department this week. I assume that they will need to see an overall drainage scheme for the entire specific plan site in order to assure that area drainage requirements are met and the southerly parcels are not adversely impacted.

He asked about shifting the storage buildings to be located along the east property line. I had talked to Robert Schmidt last week about this issue and I indicated that the specific plan can set forth its own zoning standards for a given project. This concept was applied to Lapis to address certain setback' variations from those provided for in the zoning code. This applied to the retail building and self - storage building areas, and shade structures ' (see attached conditions). Reading Condition 4.A., however, the setback reductions noted are to be as shown on the approved plan, which does not show a zero property line. A change in the approved site plan would require some type of review, per the previous discussions in my previous memos on the latest change to Lapis. It may be a moot point since other changes to the footprints and staggered building setbacks, drainage requirements, etc. were alluded to, which would change the architecture and siting of the storage parcel and require Commission review. Another concern relates again to landscaping - Condition 4.D. requires California Pepper trees to be added to the landscape palette, and the Site Development Permit approval requires additional use of these trees. The Highway 111 Design Theme document does not incorporate this species. If this document is to take precedence, how should the conditions relating to this requirement be rectified? The architect indicated he would get back with the changes and wants to schedule a time to come in and review them with us. At this point he is discussing the options with his client based on either a possible Planning Commission review or an administrative review. If you have any questions, please call me at extension 7069.
