Architectural Review Commission
The City's Architectural Review Commission reviewed the proposed expansion of the Legend
Gardens Senior Living facility at their meeting on July 28, 2015. The Commission approved the
expansion of the facility as it architecturally matches the existing facility. In addition, once the
expansion is completed, the existing Legend Gardens facility will receive an exterior paint
treatment so that the entire facility will match and look like one single new facility. The
Commission voted 6-0-0-2, with two (2) commissioners absent in recommending approval for
the expansion of the Legend Gardens facility.
Planning Commission
The Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the proposed expansion of the
Legend Gardens facility at their meeting on August 18, 2015. The Commission discussed the
patio wall design along Catalina Way and San Pascual Avenue, parking at the facility, and
discussed the setback adjustment along Catalina Way. The Commission would like to see
additional design or undulation to the patio walls, and the applicant is amenable to their request.
The Commission also agreed that the existing parking lot is sufficient to serve the expanded
facility and on -street parking is available should there be a need for overflow parking. Lastly, the
Commission considered a setback adjustment at the intersection of Catalina Way and San
Pascual Avenue and approved the adjustment based on the flexible development standards
allowed in the Senior Overlay District and based on the applicant providing affordable beds
within the facility. One property owner, located directly south of the facility along San Pascual,
spoke in favor of the project and questioned pedestrian access along San Pascual. There was
no testimony in opposition to the project. The Commission ultimately approved a resolution
recommending that the City Council approve the applications for the proposed expansion. Staff
has provided a condition to address patio walls along Catalina Way and San Pascual Avenue.
Executive Summary
Approval of the staff recommendation will entitle the expansion of an existing senior living facility
from 20 to 47 units. In 1998, the City Council approved a Development Agreement (DA) and
Precise Plan (PP) for a 20-unit assisted living facility known as Legend Gardens at the comer of
Catalina Way and San Carlos Avenue. The facility provides congregate care services to senior
citizens over 55 years of age and includes common dining and activity areas, an administration
building, and a seventeen (17) stall parking lot, directly across the street from the Joslyn Center
(Senior Center.) The DA required that four (4) beds beset aside within the facility for lower- and
moderate -income persons. The facility has acquired two (2) abutting parcels to the east of their
existing facility with the intent to expand the facility from twenty (20) assisted living units to thirty-
five (35) assisted living units and twelve (12) memory care units. A total of forty-seven (47) units
will be available when the facility is expanded. To facilitate this expansion, the existing single-
family homes on the abutting parcels will be demolished, existing driveways will be removed,
and existing landscape will be removed and/or relocated elsewhere on the site.
The abutting parcels are zoned Residential Single -Family (R-1) and the applicant has applied
for a Change of Zone (CZ) application to rezone the parcels Residential Single -Family (R-2) with
a Senior Overlay (S.O.). The proposed zoning designations will match the zoning designations

of the existing Legend Gardens facility and will implement portions of the Palma Village Specific
Plan which identified parcels near the Senior Center and along the west side of San Pascual
Avenue (San Pascual) for this type of zoning designation. In addition, the applicant will merge
the existing Legend Gardens parcels and the two (2) acquired parcels so that the entire facility
exists on a single 1.6-acre parcel.
An amendment to the existing DA is necessary to address the change in room count at the
expanded facility. Currently, the DA specifies a number of beds be set aside for lower- and
moderate -income individuals based on the existing room count. Since the facility is providing
additional rooms, the formula for the set aside has changed from four (4) beds to ten (10) beds.
The facility will provide two types of services for assisted living and memory care and the
amended DA specifies that nine (9) assisted living beds and one (1) memory care bed be set
aside at the facility for lower- and moderate -income individuals.
Background
A. Property Description:
Legend Gardens is a senior living facility located on the northeast corner of Catalina Way
(Catalina) and San Carlos Avenue (San Carlos.) The facility has operated at the site since
the late 1990's, and consists of 20 assisted living units, administrative offices, common
dining area, and a 17-stall parking lot with access along Catalina. Landscaping and a four
(4) foot high block wall are provided along the property's perimeter along San Carlos, and a
six (6) foot high wall is provided along the southern property lines.
Legend Gardens has purchased two (2) adjoining parcels located at the northwest corner of
Catalina and San Pascual, just east of the existing Legend Gardens facility. Each parcel is
developed with a detached single-family home. Combined, both lots total approximately
33,631 square feet in area. The homes front San Pascual and mature landscape and
driveways are provided along this portion of roadway. Rear yards of the lots are relatively
unimproved with the exception of a pool for the property located at the corner of Catalina
and San Pascual.

D. Palma Village Specific Plan:
On June 13, 1985, the City Council and Redevelopment Agency (RDA) adopted the Palma
Village Specific Plan for the area generally bounded by Fred Waring Drive to the north,
Highway 111 to the south, Monterey Avenue to the west, and Deep Canyon Drive to the
east. The overall goals of the specific plan are to revitalize the Palma Village Area, develop a
S.O. zone, identify compatible uses for the S.O. and existing single-family neighborhoods,
and to complete infrastructure improvements such as installation of curbs and gutters
through an assessment district. Most of the plan has been implemented; infrastructure
improvements are complete, the City has established a S.O. zone, and a Senior Center has
been built at the northwest corner of Catalina and San Pascual. The project is within the
specific plan boundaries and is evaluated against the policies contained in this document.
Proiect Description
The applicant is requesting approval of an amendment to the existing DA for Legend Gardens,
and approval of a CZ and PP, for the expansion of the existing Legend Gardens facility. The
proposed projectwill rezone two adjoining properties to the east from Residential Single -Family
(R-1) to Residential Single -Family (R-2) with a S.O. The Precise Plan (PP) application
establishes the new site plan on the two adjoining lots. As proposed, Legend Gardens will
construct four (4) new buildings on the adjoining properties for 15 new assisted living units and
12 new memory care units. The architecture and site improvements will match the existing
Legend Gardens facility and the existing common dining area, parking lot, and the administrative
office will serve both the existing and expanded facility. A PMW application has also been
submitted for the merger of the parcels into a single lot. The merger of the parcels will be
brought back to Planning Commission for final approval prior to the issuance of a building
permit. The existing DA set aside four (4) beds at the facility for moderate- to lower -income
individuals and an amendment to the agreement is necessaryto account for the new bed count.
A. Site Plan
The existing Legend Gardens facility is located on the northeast corner of Catalina and San
Carlos. The facility will expand over two (2) abutting parcels fronting San Pascual to the east
of the existing facility. Four (4) new buildings will be built around a central courtyard space
with pedestrian connections through the site and to surrounding public streets. Three (3) of
the buildings will provide fifteen (15) units for assisted living and one (1) building, located

October 8, 2015
along the southern portion of the site, will provide twelve (12) memory care units. The
expanded facility will utilize the existing seventeen (17) stall parking lot provided along
Catalina. New landscape, sidewalk improvements, and perimeter walls are provided along
Catalina and San Pascual. Sidewalk improvements currently exist along Catalina and San
Pascual. The applicantwill remove the existing driveway aprons along San Pascual and fill-
in the driveway aprons to match the existing sidewalk improvements. Patio walls,
approximately four (4) feet in height, will be provided along Catalina and San Pascual where
units provide an outdoor patio space. Perimeter walls will match the design of the existing
patio walls along San Carlos and a new six (6) foot high block wall will be built along the
southern property line.
B. Building Description and Architecture
Four (4) new buildings are proposed at the site. These buildings are single -story in height
and centered on an interior courtyard. Three (3) of the four (4) buildings contain fifteen (15)
assisted living units. Each unit consists of a sitting area, bed area, closet, restroom, and
patio. These units may be single or double occupancy. Laundry facilities and an activity room
are provided for the assisted living units.
The fourth building will provide dementia and memory care services. The building is single
story in height, and has a separate lobby, kitchen, and activity and dining areas. Access to
the building is provided at the central courtyard in the center of the site. The units are suites
which consist of a bed area, closet, and restroom. Along the southern property line of the
site an outdoor walking area and patio are provided for the memory care building. The
memory care building is more self-contained than the other units and provides restricted
access via a single main entrance due to the clientele served within the building.
The building's architecture resembles the existing architecture at the Legend Gardens
facility. The exterior of the building is white stucco with tile accents and windows. The
buildings have a pitched red tile roof with rhythmic one (1) foot height variations to match the
existing facility. Once completed, the exterior of the existing buildings will be repainted to
match the newer buildings and to give the appearance that the facilitywas constructed at the
same time.
C. Landscape
Mature landscape exists within the front yards of the project site. The applicantwill relocate
several of the existing palm trees to new locations along Catalina. New landscape,
consisting of trees, shrubs, and ground covers, including Fan Palms, Shoestring Acacias,
Palo Verdes, Mexican Birds of Paradise, Mexican Sage, Bougainvillea vines, and purple
lantanas will be installed along the project perimeter and internal courtyard areas. Turf is not
provided along the project's perimeter and only a limited amount of turf is provided in the
active use area outside the Memory Care building. The landscape plans are compatible with
the City's Desert Flora Palette Guidelines.

D. Change of Zone
The expansion of the Legend Gardens facility requires that the two (2) abutting parcels,
located along San Pascual, be rezoned from Residential Single -Family (R-1) to Residential
Single -Family (R-2) with a S.O. The existing facility is zoned (R-2) with a S.O. zone.
E. Parcel Map Waiver
The existing Legend Gardens site and the abutting parcels will be merged into a single 1.6-
acre site with consistent zoning designations. This allows the expanded and existing facility
to share common amenities and to utilize the existing parking lot. This will also ensure that
the facility is kept in common ownership and that the expanded and existing facilities have a
single property owner. Final approval of the parcel merger will be brought back to the
Planning Commission prior to the issuance of building permits to expand the facility.
F. Development Agreement
A DA was approved as part of the original Legend Gardens site. The DA required that the
site provide four (4) beds at reduced rents for recipients of Supplemental Security Income
(SSI). An amendment to the DA is necessaryto address the expansion of the facilityand to
ensure additional beds are set aside based on the new unit count. Based on the new room
count, the amended DA stipulates that nine (9) assisted living beds and one (1) memory
care bed be set aside based on SSI criteria.
Analysis
A. Site Plan and Land Use Comaatibili
Surrounding properties are developed with a mix of residential uses, including single -story
single-family homes, multi -story apartment buildings, and single- and two-story congregate care
facilities. The Joslyn Center is located at the northwest corner of Catalina and San Pascual,
directly across the street from Legend Gardens. The use of the facility for assisted living and
memory care is compatible with surrounding residential uses and existing assisted living
facilities in the vicinity, and is a permitted use in the R-2 zoning district and S.O overlay.
The expanded facility will result in the demolition of two (2) existing single-family homes that
front on San Pascual with new single -story residential -type development. Properties along this
portion of San Pascual are detached single -story single-family homes. The architecture of the
expanded facility will be residential in style with pitched tiled roofs, exterior stucco treatment, and
sliding glass doors, vinyl windows and outdoor patios. The orientation of the buildingsface into
an interior courtyard and the portions of the building along San Pascual are similar to the
architectural styles within the immediate vicinity.
The applicant has applied for a CZ application to applythe S.O. zone to the expanded Legend
Gardens site. The S.O. provides a developer options when proposing senior type housing,
including flexibility in design standards, affordability requirements applied to the development,
and greater population density per acre. The expanded Legend Gardens complies with the
G \Planning\Eric Ceja\Case Files\PP\PP 15-066 Legend Garden Expansion\City Council= - Staff Report (Legends).doc
Staff Report
Case No. DA/PP/CZ 15-086

underlying development standards for the R-2 zoning district including a 10-foot street side yard
setback along San Pascual, a 20-foot setback along the rear (southern) property line, and a
maximum building height of eighteen (18) feet. The building setback along Catalina is 15 feet.
However, an adjustment to this setback is required as the particular parcel has eight (8) feet
more of right-of-way width than the adjoining parcel to the west. As proposed, the building along
Catalina is 10 feet from property line and a five (5) foot adjustment is necessary. Staff supports
the 5-foot adjustment as the newer buildings will match the existing setback for Legend Gardens
along Catalina. The adjustment ensures that the facility has a consistent setback along Catalina.
In addition the adjustment to the setback is supported by the S.O. which allows for flexibility in
design standards for senior housing developments.
B. Parkina
The City's zoning ordinance requires that Residential Care Facilities provide one (1) parking
stall for everyfour (4) bedrooms. The expanded Legend Gardens facility has a total of 47 units.
If all the rooms are single -occupancy then twelve (12) parking stalls would be required.
However, some double -occupancy rooms will be available for spouses and partners. If all 47
units at the site are double -occupancy, a total of 24 parking stalls would be required. Staff does
not believe that all rooms at the facility will be double -occupancy based on the current Legend
Gardens operations, and the applicant has stated that approximately 60% of the rooms are
made available to double -occupancy. Assuming that 75% of the rooms (33 rooms) are double -
occupancy the parking requirement is 17 parking stalls.
The existing 20-unit Legend Gardens facility contains a seventeen (17) stall parking lot and the
expanded and existing facility will utilize this parking lot. Staff conducted a parking survey over
the past few months to monitor parking at the site. The parking survey was conducted on six (6)
random weekdays from March 23, 2015 to July 9, 2015 with the following results:

The parking survey concludes that on average nearlythirteen (13) parking spaces are available
during the business hours of the facility. The survey indicates that the existing parking lot can
adequately serve both the existing and expanded Legend Gardens facility as ample parking is
available at the current site.

The applicant also conducted an independent parking analysis in addition to staffs parking
survey and analysis of zoning code requirements. Their parking analysis was conducted during
the month of April 2015 and showed average parking demand that matched staffs analysis
above. Their parking study indicated that at peak demand in the expanded facility, 18 parking
stalls are necessary at the site; however, since many of the clients at the facility cannot legally
drive or do not own personal vehicles, parking demand is actually less than the peak demand
and the existing parking lot is sufficient to serve the existing and expanded facility.
Based on the parking analysis above, staff is confident that the existing 17 stall parking lot is
sufficient to serve the expanded Legend Gardens facility. In addition, ample on -street parking is
available should overflow parking ever be necessary. To ensure that parking remains available
at the site, staff is recommending a condition that only clients with valid driver licenses and
active vehicle registration be allowed to have their vehicles at the site.
C. Palma Village Specific Plan
The Palma Village Specific Plan "encourages construction of senior housing surrounding fie
Senior Center" and to "make zoning consistent with the multi -family character of existing
development" west of San Pascual. The properties identified for expansion of the Legend
Gardens facility are located along the west side of San Pascual and the development of senior
housing in this area implements the Palma Village Specific Plan. The Legend Gardens facility
also meets the architectural and maintenance criteria identified in the plan as it is single -story,
matches the existing architecture at the site, and is held under common ownership.
D. Amended Development Agreement
The S.O. zone requires that senior housing developments make 10% of the units available to
lower -income individuals and 10% of the units available for moderate -income individuals. This
standard was applied to the originally approved Legend Gardens site and four (4) beds were set
aside based on SSI. With the expansion of Legend Gardens from 20 units to 47 units, an
amendment to the DA is necessary to adjust the affordability formula. The amended DA
specifies that ten (10) beds be set aside for lower- and moderate -income persons. Further
refinement to the amended DA is provided to distinguish the breakdown of affordable units
between the memory care and assisted living care. The zoning code does not specify how to
break down the affordability requirements between different services offered within the same
facility; however, staff and the applicant have agreed to set aside at least one (1) bed in the
memory care units for moderate -income individuals based on SSI. The cost of services for a
memory care unit is much greater than the cost of services for an assisted living unit. Therefore,
staff is satisfied that one (1) memory care bed is sufficient for compliance with the S.O. zone's
affordability requirement while not creating an undue financial hardship on the operations of the
facility.
Environmental Review
For the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Director of Community
Development has determined that the expansion of the Legend Gardens facility is categorically
exempt from further CEQA analysis under Class 32 — In -fill Development Projects as the site is

less than five (5) acres in size, is surrounded by existing urban uses, the project site has no value
as habitat, the site is adequately served by existing utilities, and the use is consistent with the
City's General Plan policies, the Palma Village Specific Plan policies, and zoning designations and
regulations.
Conclusion
Staff supports the expansion of the Legend Gardens facility as it implements the City's General
Plan and Palma Village Specific Plan, and provides a compatible land use to the adjacent
Senior Center and to the surrounding neighborhood. The expansion complies with applicable
development standards, is single -story in height, utilizes an existing parking lot, and
architecturally matches the existing facility. The amendments to the DA also address the change
in room count and comply with the City's goal for affordable units within senior housing
developments in the S.O. zoning districts.
Findings of Approval
1. That the proposed change of zone is consistent with the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance
and the adopted General Plan.
The Legend Gardens facility will expand by acquiring two adjoining parcels abutting its
existing eastern property line. These parcels are currently zoned Residential Single -Family
(R-1) on the City's Zoning Map. The proposal to change their zoning designations from R-1
to Residential Single -Family (R-2) with a Senior Overlay (S. O.) is consistent with the City's
current General Plan which adopted the policies contained in the Palma Village Specific
Plan. The Palma Village Specific Plan identified properties surrounding the City's Senior
Center to develop for senior housing projects and to make zoning consistent with the multi-
family character of existing development west of San Pascual, while preserving the single-
family zones east of San Pascual.
The Legend Gardens expansion is also consistent with the City's Zoning Ordinance
provisions for the R-2 zoning district and S. O. zone. The expanded facility conforms to the
development standard for the R-2 zoning district, with the exception of an adjustment to the
front yard setback along Catalina Way. The development is single -story in height and does
not exceed the maximum building height of 18 feet. An exception has been granted to
reduce the front yard setback along Catalina Way from 15 feet to 10 feet in order to ensure
the expanded facility has a similar setback as the existing facility. The adjustment to this
setback is supported by the S.O. zone which allows for flexibility in design standards for
senior housing development. In addition, the expanded facility complies with affordability
requirements listed for senior housing developments in the S.O. zone.
Fiscal Analysis
There is no fiscal impact to the City created by the development of this property.

RE: Legend Gardens Assisted Living Expansion Project Parking Analysis
Dear Mr. Ceja,
Legend Gardens (the "Client") is proposing to expand the existing assisted living facility from 21
units to 48 units. The Project is located at 73685 Catalina Way in the City of Palm Desert (the
"City"). The current site provides 17 parking spaces, which will remain for the future use. The
current driveway along Catalina Way will remain as the only vehicle access point.
The City is concerned that the available parking on the Project site will not be sufficient to serve
the future use, especially during the weekday late afternoon and weekend late morning and
afternoon periods. To determine the future Project parking demand, the City is requiring that the
Project submit the appropriate evidence documenting parking demand at the current site in order
to demonstrate that the current parking supply of 17 spaces will satisfy the future Project parking
demand. Study methodologies and survey periods have been discussed and agreed by the City of
Palm Desert staff. Per City staff's recommendation, Crain & Associates has conducted a parking
survey at the current Project site to estimate the parking demand during the peak parking demand
periods, and compared that data with the parking supply. The analysis details are described
below.

Current Site Parking Demand
A parking demand survey was conducted at the Project site at 73685 Catalina Way in the City of
Palm Desert during the peak parking periods on Thursday, April 9, Saturday, April 11 and
Sunday, April 12, 2015. The survey results showing the current site parking demand during the
peak periods on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday are included in Table 1. As shown in Table 1,
the peak parking demand is 8 spaces during 3:15-3:45PM and 4:30-4:45PM periods (a total of 45
minutes out of 12 hours entire survey period, or 6% of the entire peak parking survey periods) on
the Saturday afternoon. The rest of the survey periods have shown a lower parking demand of
less than 7 spaces. Currently, there is 1 car parked on -site owned by a resident of the facility.

Future Project Parking Demand
To be conservative, the peak 45 minutes parking demand of 8 spaces was used to calculate the
future Project peak parking demand. As shown in Table 2, the expansion of the facility from 21
units to 48 units would increase peak parking demand from 8 spaces to 18 spaces.

Based on the above calculation, the Project site parking supply is 1 space less than the future
peak period parking demand. However, almost half of the expanded units (12 units) are
designated to be Memory Care units. The residents in these units would need special care, can't
legally drive and wouldn't generate parking demand. Therefore, in reality, the future expanded
Project would have a lower parking demand than the calculated 18 spaces. The total on -site
parking supply of 17 spaces would satisfy future peak period parking demand.
In addition, there are plenty of on -street parking spaces along Project frontage streets — San
Carlos Avenue and Catalina Way and many other streets within reasonable walking distance.
The potential future peak period parking shortage of 1 space would be sufficed by the off -site on -
street parking spaces.
Conclusion
As shown in the above analysis, a maximum of 8 parked cars were observed during the peak
periods (45 minutes out of 12 hours peak parking survey periods) on weekday and weekend at
the Project site. The future parking supply of 17 spaces is 1 space less than the calculated future
peak period (less than 1 hour per week) parking demand. However, due to the development of
12 Memory Care units, less parking demand is expected. With the off -site on -street parking
supplies, this potential 1 space parking shortage during less than 1 hour peak period per week
would not generate parking impact in the neighborhood.
Sincerely,
RMAILP�Irw/
