CHAIRPERSON MCCUNE OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:29 P.M.
PUBLIC SPEAKER: Jim Snellenberger, Indian Wells – introduced himself and
provided additional information regarding the project.
Commissioner Quill asked Mr. Snellenberger if consideration had been given to
change the architectural design of the project and what that process would entail.
Consulting Planner Criste stated an amendment to the site development permit
would be required.
PUBLIC SPEAKER: Rick Hand, La Quinta – Introduced himself as President of the
Westward Isle Homeowners Association (HOA) and spoke in support of the project.
He commented on the accessibility to the project from Jefferson Street. Stating
that he represented the HOA, Mr. Hand asked the Planning Commission to consider
a condition of approval whereby Desert Land Holdings would release the easement
that was in the original approved plans and return the easement to the HOA. Mr.
Hand asked for clarification of Site Development Permit 2018-0014 (SDP) Condition
of Approval 55 and Tentative Tract Map 36875 (TTM) Condition of Approval 21; and
inquired about the approval and construction timeline for the project.
Planning Consultant Criste noted that the project is before the Planning Commission
for approval and would not go to the City Council for consideration. The TTM is
approved for a 2-year period with up to five years of extensions possible and the

he does not oppose the project.
CHAIRPERSON MCCUNE CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:54 P.M.
City Attorney Travis Van Ligten commented that based on information staff received
to date, there is no evidence leading to a conclusion that the applicant is a
suspended corporation at this time and presumably the applicant in submitting
permits has represented his status truthfully. He noted that the applicant would
need a valid business license to act upon any approval.
Commissioner Bettencourt commented that the applicant’s timing regarding when
to proceed are not part of the regulatory requirements before the Commission for
consideration and noted that the life of the subdivision map is governed by the
Subdivision Map Act and the Commission’s approvals are governed by existing
rules.
MOTION: A motion was made and seconded by Commissioners Caldwell/Wright to
adopt Planning Commission Resolution 2019-007 approving Site Development
Permit 2018-0014 and Tentative Tract Map 2018-0006 (TTM 36875) to construct 16

PUBLIC HEARING NO. 1

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• The proposed project consists of two apartment buildings on two lots
totaling 1.3 acres on the east side of Desert Club Drive. Each building will
be two stories in height.
• Each building will consist of 8 apartment units, 4 downstairs and 4
upstairs. All the apartments will be 2-bedroom, 2-bath units.
• The project includes a Conditional Use Permit to allow a multi-family land
use in the Village Commercial zone, and a Site Development Permit for
the approval of the site plan, architecture and landscaping.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The site is currently vacant and located immediately north of the existing
Arnold Palmer’s Restaurant driveway. The property consists of two lots. One
building will be located on each lot, and will be accessed by a single central
driveway. Parking will be provided on the rear (east) side, and will include one
garage space per unit as well as 22 open parking spaces (Attachment 2, Sheet
A1.1).
The project includes 8 ground floor units. These apartments are to be located
immediately adjacent to the sidewalk, with gates in the low courtyard walls, to
increase their street presence and encourage walkability. Second floor units will
have balconies overlooking the street and will be accessed by stairs on each
end of each building, and a center staircase with a shared landing for the center
two apartments.
The project includes a central breezeway which provides access to the rear of
each unit from the garages, and which abuts rear courtyards for the ground
floor units.
The project’s location on Desert Club at Calle Barcelona allows walking or biking
distance access to shopping and job opportunities in the Village.
Conditional Use Permit
The Zoning Ordinance allows the development of multi-family residential units
in the Village Commercial zone with approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The
Zoning Ordinance further requires that residential projects follow the High
Density Residential (HDR) standards. In this case, the project proposes 16 units
on 1.3 acres, or a density of 12.3 units per acre. The density range for the HDR
zone is 12 to 16 units per acre. The project therefore conforms to this standard.
The purpose of a Conditional Use Permit is to assess the compatibility of a
proposed use with its surroundings. In this case, the proposed project will
provide 16 dwelling units in the Village, an area the General Plan has identified
as a small-scale mixed-use development opportunity. This project will increase
12
residential options for City residents, and locates residential units and their
residents close to shopping and employment opportunities. The project site is
surrounded by existing development, including the Arnold Palmer’s restaurant
to the south, a multi-tenant office building to the west, a vacant lot and
commercial and residential uses to the north, and the Arnold Palmer’s parking
lot and single-family residential units to the east and northeast. The apartment
use represents a stepping-up of land use intensity between the single-family
homes to the north and northeast and the commercial development to the
west. This type of land use intensification also creates a buffer for the single-
family homes. The use of the site for high density development is therefore
appropriate, the findings for approval can be made, and are included in the
attached Resolution.
Site Development Permit
Site Design
The site’s small size has been used to maximum efficiency (Attachment 2,
pages A2.0 and A2.1). The residential units are located to the front/street side,
fully screening the garages and parking from public view. Pedestrian access to
the site and units is provided via a sidewalk on the south side of the central
driveway, and gated front courtyard access from each ground floor unit. This
design serves to activate the site, and it is hoped that the front courtyards will
be furnished by residents, and used much like a traditional front porch.
Staff worked with the applicant to provide a more substantial private open
space area in the rear breezeway, including more substantial planting areas
against the garage walls, to provide a “green” view from rear windows and the
rear courtyards of the ground floor units. Trellises have also been provided over
the breezeway, to increase shade and provide relief from the heat island effect
that this mostly concrete area could produce.
Access to the second story units will be from three staircases on each building,
with landings that provide a covered entry, and sufficient space for outdoor
seating. Each second story unit also has private balcony space on the front of
the building, overlooking Desert Club.
Architectural Design
The applicant proposes a Spanish style of architecture, and has included
decorative elements to improve the appearance of the buildings, including
wrought iron railings and accents, wood rafters and shutters, recessed
windows, rounded building corners and tile roofs (see elevations on Sheet A3.0,
renderings on Sheet A3.1, and Color and Material Board, last page of
Attachment 2).
The architectural style is consistent with the office building on the west side of
Desert Club, the Arnold Palmer’s restaurant and the Village in general.
13
Parking
The project includes 16 garages and 22 open parking spaces, for a total of 38
spaces, or 2.3 spaces per unit. The Zoning Ordinance requires 2 covered spaces
per unit, or 32 spaces for 16 2-bedroom apartments, plus 0.5 guest spaces per
unit, or 8 guest spaces, for a total of 40 spaces. In the Village Build-Out Plan
area in which the project is located, a reduction of 50% of the parking
requirement is allowed. In this case, the applicant proposes a reduction of 5%
of the standard. In addition to the on-site parking provided, parking is also
available on Desert Club, and would provide an additional 5 to 6 on-street
spaces in front of each building. Given the walkable nature of the Village, the
number of parking spaces provided is appropriate.
The Zoning Ordinance also requires that parking spaces be covered for
apartment projects. The applicant proposes a single garage for each unit, and
open parking along the east property line. No carports are proposed. The
applicant has included 7 Acacias along the rear property line. These are
currently proposed to be 24-inch box. The City has traditionally required 36-
inch box trees, with a 2.5-inch caliper. This will assure quicker shading of the
parking spaces, and has been made a condition for the project (No.64 in
attached Exhibit A). Staff believes that the addition of trees rather than
carports will reduce the hardscape in this case, and still provide shading for
residents’ vehicles.
The conditions of approval include a requirement that the applicant provide one
bike rack per building at a location to be approved by staff (No.72 in Exhibit A).
The bike rack condition will encourage secure parking for residents’ bikes, and
alternative transport in the Village.
Landscaping
Drought tolerant landscaping has been proposed for the project (Attachment 2,
pages 16 and 17). The landscaping will include low-lying plantings along Desert
Club, with fan palms between courtyards. Acacia are proposed for the rear
parking area. The landscaping plans shows these to be 24-inch box in size. As
described above, in order to provide maximum shade potential in the parking
area, Condition of Approval No. 64 requires that these be 36-inch box. The
breezeway landscaping will include bougainvillea as a climbing plant, to soften
the garage walls and provide color for the rear courtyards.
Lighting
Exterior lighting is provided on the driveway, in the breezeway and in the
parking area. Wall mounted fixtures are proposed. The lighting plan provided,
and its photometric analysis, shows that the project meets the City’s lighting
requirement (Attachment 2, sheets A1.2 and A1.3).
AGENCY AND PUBLIC REVIEW
Public Agency Review
All written comments received are on file and available for review with the
Design and Development Department. All applicable comments have been
14
adequately addressed and/or incorporated in the recommended Conditions of
Approval.
Public Notice
This project was advertised in The Desert Sun newspaper on May 31, 2019, and
mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the site. No written comments
have been received as of the date of this writing. Any written comments
received will be handed out at the Planning Commission hearing.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project was reviewed under the provisions of CEQA. The Director
determined that the project qualifies for Exemption under CEQA, as an Infill
project. The project qualifies for this exemption because it is consistent with the
General Plan and Zoning designation, is less than 5 acres in size, and is located
in an urbanized and mostly built-out area.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
STAFF ITEM
TO: Honorable Chair and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Carlos Flores, Senior Planner
DATE: June 11, 2019
SUBJECT: HOME DEPOT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT UPDATE
On November 13, 2018, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use
Permit 2016-0004, Amendment 1 (CUP), allowing for outdoor display and
sales at an existing Home Depot located at 79990 Highway 111 (Attachment
1). The Planning Commission added the following conditions on the
approval:
- Shed display shall not be in parking lot and shall be next to
building.
- Planning Commission shall review compliance with CUP six months
after approval.
The purpose of this report is to provide an update on Home Depot’s
compliance with the CUP. After approval, Home Depot moved forward
towards consistency with the approved CUP concurrent with repaving and
striping on the entire parking lot. Due to the scope, there were a few
delays, although Home Depot management and contractor staff kept in
contact with City staff throughout the process, including meeting on site a
few times to make sure progress was consistent with the CUP.
Home Depot has completed the work on the site, consistent with the CUP
and its conditions of approval (Attachment 2). Some examples include:
- The sheds are located next to building on east elevation.
- Areas for outdoor display are demarcated with white striping and
areas for fire clearances with red striping.
- The west elevation is clear of merchandise and restriped for
parking.
- Outdoor storage has been moved to north elevation.
Although Home Depot has demonstrated compliance with the CUP, Staff will
continue to monitor compliance and maintenance of the site.
