CHARLTON, 73-640 Highway 111, Palm Desert, CA 92260 and IMPERIAL SIGN COMPANY, 46-120 Calhoun Street, Indio, CA 92201. NATURE OF PROJECT/APPROVAL SOUGHT: Request approval of a freestanding monument sign. LOCATION: Northwest corner of north Palm Desert Drive and Las Palmas. ZONE: C-1, S.P. BACKGROUND: The remodel of the White Sheet Plaza is nearing completion and the applicant has submitted plans for a freestanding sign. At the time of the plan review, the sign details were not available. This proposed freestanding sign is to be located at the southeast corner of the lot oriented east -west. The sign is to be 28 square feet and will have a dark brown background with white letters for a portion of the sign and dark brown letters on a white background for the remainder of the sign. The proposed sign conforms to the criteria of the sign ordinance. In accordance with the sign ordinance the commission must be satisfied that a freestanding sign is necessary due to the building location, configuration or topographical variation or similar circumstances. The building is an "L" shape and as such, the signs of most of the individual units face east and cannot be seen when approaching from the west. The freestanding sign would identify the center for traffic approaching from both directions. RECOMMENDATION: That the request for approval of a freestanding center identification sign at the White Sheet Plaza, Case No. 162 C, be approved. /pa CM IlTr (DO 210aDZI n 11Dc&=®rD{1 45-275 PRICKLY PEAR LANE, PALM DESERT,CAUFORNIA92260 TELEPHONE (714) 346-0611 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING NOTICE OF ACTION Date: July 8, 1982 JAMES A.

Moved by Commissioner Richards, seconded by Chairman Kryder, to approve Design Review Board's actions. Carried unanimously (3-0). C. Case No. 162 C - Review Board app. --Appeal of Design Mr. Smith reviewed this case indicating that the applicant had requested two changes to the plan: 1) rear window treatment deleted, and, 2) perimeter wall being redesigned to 3 ft. painted concrete block. The Board felt the window treatment on the north should be retained and the perimeter wall be matched to the building exterior. MR. JAMES CHARLTON, explained the reasons for the requested modifications. Commission supported the Board with regards to the window treatment but after reviewing the applicant's request agreed that the perimeter wall may be modified. MR. RON GREGORY, member of the Design Review Board, was present and indicated that the Board did not feel strongly about the wall treatment in front but did feel the north elevation window treatment should be retained. Moved by Commissioner Wood, seconded by Commissioner Richards, to approve requested modification of wall treatment on front of building; rejected requested modification of north elevation window treatment. Carried 3-0. D. Case No. 737 SA - ELDORADO BANK - Appeal of Design Review Board denial of June 22, 1982, for freestanding sign at 73-301 Highway III (Oral presentation). Mr. Smith reviewed this matter stating that the concerns of the Design Review Board were too many elements and the sign should be simplified. Staff recommended approval of the appeal. MR. ROBERT GEORGE, Imperial Sign Co., was present for any questions and requested approval of the appeal. MR. RON GREGORY, member of the Design Review Board, felt that the sign was not attractive and described it as too busy. The Commission felt the sign was attractive and although they were reluctant to go against the actions of the Board, in this case they felt the sign was acceptable. Moved by Commissioner Wood, seconded by Commissioner Richards, to approve requested appeal. Carried unanimously (3-0). IX. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS A.

Chairman Martin asked if any one wanted to make a requirement for solar screens. Mr. Leung felt a study should be made of the windows getting a full west exposure. Chairman Martin asked Mr. Eliante if he could come back in two weeks with a study on the critical elevations. It was moved by Ms. Jackson and seconded by Mr. Leung, to grant preliminary approval of building elevations for the two unit types subject to the following: 1. That a study of various means of providing effective solar protection for the glazed areas be prepared. Mr. Diaz indicated that building permits would not be issued until all information is brought back to the Board.

Nature of Project/Approval Sought: Final approval to remodel and construct a small addition to an existing commercial complex. Location: Northwest corner of north Frontage Road and Las Palmas. Zone: C-1 - S.P. Mr. Smith summarized the staff report indicating that the Board had reviewed and approved the preliminary plans to remodel and construct a small addition to an existing commercial complex at its February 9, 1982, meeting. The final plans had not included a landscape and irrigation plan but the applicant had since brought it in for review. The Architect, Mr. Steven Sullivan advised that his client had requested the following changes to the approved plan: 1. That the perimeter wall which is presently shown as brick, be changed to concrete block. 2. That the trim around the windows on the rear of the building be deleted. Mr. Cook asked if the perimeter wall could be lower than four feet since it would be covered by Pyracantha and wouldn't be seen anyway. Mr. Smith replied that it could be as low as three feet. - 2 - DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MINUTES MAY 25, 1982 On a motion by Mr. Barton, seconded by Mr. Gregory, the Board granted final approval to the remodel and construction plans for the addition to the existing commercial complex subject to the requirements listed in the staff report being met and subject to the following conditions: 1.

CASE NO. 236 MF Applicant/Address: DONALD JUNG ASSOCIATES, 9581 Pico Blvd., Ste. 3, Los Angeles, CA 90035 and SILVER SPUR ASSOCIATES, 49-200 Mariposa Drive, Palm Desert, CA 92260. Nature of Project/Approval Sought: Preliminary design approval for revisions to existing entry to Ironwood Country Club. Location: 49-200 Mariposa Drive at Portola Avenue. Zone: PR-7 Mr. Smith indicated that the preliminary design for the redesign of the entry to Ironwood Country Club had been reviewed and approved by the Board at it's January 26, 1982, meeting but that it went out to bid and came in way over budget so they have submitted another plan. The revised plans show iron picket gates and the entrance will be repaved with an enriched paving pattern of Bomanite Slate design. The landscaping is to be revitalized. Mr. Donald Jung was present to discuss this case. He indicated that they would be changing the roof line of the guardhouse but to what extent, would depend on how much the budget would allow. They did not want to touch the guardhouse. The width of the entry gate should not create a problem since there was another entrance with a 16 foot aisle. Mr. Holden moved and Ms. Jackson seconded to approve the preliminary design. Motion carried 7-0. IV. DISCUSSION ITEMS: ORDINANCES FOR NONCONFOMING SIGNS AND FORBIDDING SHAKE ROOFS Mr. Diaz indicated that Council is considering an ordinance proposed by Fire Marshall Vogt forbidding shake roofs and an ordinance which would eliminate nonconforming signs through attrition. ENTRY SIGN Ms. Jackson asked what was happening on the entry sign. Chairman Martin indicated that there has been some problem obtaining permission to enter onto the property on which the sign is located. - 3 - AGENDA ITEM NO: III-A-1 DATE: May 25, 1982 DESIGN REVIEW BOARD CASE NO: 162 C APPLICANT (AND ADDRESS): JAMES CHARLTON, c/o WHITE SHEET, INC., 73-640 Highway 111, Palm Desert, CA 92260, STEVEN SULLIVAN, A.I.A., 73-730 Highway 111, Suite 5, Palm Desert, CA 92260.

SULLIVAN, A.I.A., 73-730 Highway 111, Suite 5, Palm Desert, CA 92260 and JAMES CHARLTON c/o WHITE SHEET, INC., 73-640 Highway 111, Palm Desert, CA 92260. NATURE OF PROJECT/APPROVAL SOUGHT: Preliminary approval to remodel and construct a small addition to an existing commercial complex. LOCATION: Northwest corner of north Frontage Road and Las Palmas. ZONE: C-1 S.P. BACKGROUND: The applicant is proposing a series of improvements to the existing building and site including exterior remodeling and parking lot revision and landscaping. Individually, each element in the project could have been handled at the Staff level without review by the Board. However, considering the substantial change which will result should the total project be implemented, Staff felt that the Board should review the application. It is important to note that the improvements being proposed are not enough to trigger a provision of the code which would require the project to be brought into conformity with all sections of the code. With these ground rules, the remainder of the report is now presented. SITE PLAN: Presently the site is occupied by three (3) buildings in an "L" shape. Access to the parking area (10 spaces) is from two driveways, one from the frontage road and one from Las Palmas. No landscaping is povided on the site now. The proposed site plan will eliminate the access from the Frontage Road and add landscaping in this area. The access will be via a 24' wide driveway from Las Palmas. Ten parking spaces will continue to be available. In addition, parking at the rear, with access from the alley will continue to be utilized (6 spaces). The proposed revisions to the site plan should result in an aesthetically pleasing parking area. ADDITION: The applicant is proposing a minor addition of some 150 square feet. The addition will connect the two northerly buildings which will house one (1) future tenant. With the addition that the parking for the site will continue to comply with code. ELEVATIONS: The existing flat -roofed stucco building is to be totally renovated. A pitched red tile roof will be installed on the buildings. -1- DESIGN REVIEW BOARD AGENDA ITEM CASE NO: 162C FEBRUARY 9, 1982 ELEVATIONS (CONTINUED) A tower, 22191, high, will be constructed over the existing building adjacent to the Frontage Road. Windows in the south wall adjacent to Frontage Road will be changed to two arched windows with tiled shelves at the base. Other elevation changes are also proposed, all of which serve to improve the existing situation. LANDSCAPING: Presently there is no landscaping provided on the site. The applicant proposes a landscape area between the south property line and the parking lot. In addition, the parkway adjacent to Frontage Road and Las Palmas Avenue is to be landscaped. Four foot high brick yard walls are proposed on the property line along Las Palmas to screen the parking areas. Also a 4 foot high wall is proposed in the landscape area at the south end of the lot. Materials to be planted have not been designated. SIGNS: A building monument sign is proposed at the southeast corner of the lot on the south side of the brick wall. Details of the sign were not provided. In addition individual tenant signs are proposed on the facia above the entry areas. Details of these signs have not been provided. CONCERNS: A trash area has been provided along the east side of the lot to the south of the access driveway. The area is only 3 feet wide which would only allow for trash cans rather than bins. The applicant should confirm with the trash company that this is acceptable. As an alternative, the applicant might consider locating a bin and enclosure area in one of the parking spaces. Staff would support the deletion of one parking space for this purpose if it is deemed necessary by the applicant to provide more trash capacity than would be available in the area shown on the plans submitted. CONCLUSION: The proposed changes will be an improvement to one of the more visible corner lots in the City. RECOMMENDATION: That application 162C be granted preliminary approval subject to the following conditions: 1. Construction plans shall be submitted for approval to the City Fire Marshal prior to issuance of building permits. All conditions shall be made a part of construction and no certificate of occupancy shall be issued until completed. 2. Final construction drawings, including a final landscaping, grading, lighting, amenities, trash storage, walkway layout, irrigation plans and sign program shall be submitted to the Design Review Board. No final inspection or occupancy permit shall be given by the Department of Environmental Services to this project until the aforementioned approved plans and construction shall have been completed. 3. That the applicant obtain all necessary encroachment permits for any landscaping on public property and for window projections at the south property line. /pa _2 MILOINO �� _kV-tl -S l suite 6-white sheet admIDIAnt-A p �VISN.Q_ =-n 7-yn-T)l D-a��Y— [S-Ute 5] 7 '[—suFte 41 suite -3] '14 is 161 suite 2 nsulEe I E c c c a 00 CLCL Id'd U2 II-FV9620-9 ***DESIGN REVIEW BOARD*** DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES PLANNING DIVISION Steven H.
