CASES: A. Final Drawings: 1. CASE NO: PP/CUP 19-0007 APPLICANT AND ADDRESS): La Quinta Brewing Company, Attn: Ramon Gutierrez, 77-917 Wildcat Drive, Palm Desert, CA , 92211 NATURE OF PROJECT/APPROVAL SOUGHT: Consideration of a recommendation to the Planning Commission to construct a 13,325 square -foot building, with space for a brewery, taproom, and a restaurant for La Quinta Brewing Company. LOCATION: 74-714 Technology Drive ZONE: PC-3/FCOZ Mr. Nick Melloni, Assistant Planner, reminded the Commission this project for La Quinta Brewery was continued from the meeting on August 27. He stated this was a 13,000 square -foot brewery operation with an on -site taproom and an outdoor beer garden. The Commissioners comments related to the parapet on the front portion of the building being continuous on the stick -frame, adding articulation to the east and west elevation, as well as the north elevation, and properly depicting some of the score lines in the concrete. He presented the rendering to show how the applicant addressed the parapet, provided details for the waterfall in the beer garden, the addition of a trellis to create a small covered area provide articulation, and on the east and west elevations they are taking the corten paneling used on the front portion and applying it to the side. It is mostly concentrated in the areas that will be most visually impactful from the street. He presented the roof plan and stated that all roof -top equipment will be screened and pointed out the two roof accesses located within the building. Staff feels that the building is well designed and recommends approval. MR. RAMON GUTIERREZ, designer, stated that at the last meeting it was brought to their attention that the score lines on the concrete panel tilt -up were not shown on the renderings. He said they didn't include the score lines since they may place an art piece on the north elevation. ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMISSION MINUTES September 24, 2019 Chair Van Vliet and MR. SCOTT STOKES reviewed and discussed the 6'-6" tall chiller and how it would be screened by an 8' high wrought iron fence.
