A. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council adopt Resolution No.02-155 approving PP 01-02 Amendment #1
including tower elements to 35 feet in height and a height exception to.allow the
main two-story element at 27 feet.
B. DISCUSSION:
I. BACKGROUND:
In June 2001 , City Council considered a similar request which also included a change
of zone from PR-5 to O.P. That request was approved, however, since that time the
bank has changed architects. The building design was changed and the site plan has
been modified.
RESOLUTION NO. 02-155

II. CURRENT PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The proposal is to construct two buildings on the parcel. The southerly (front)
building will be a single story bank, while the northerly office building will be a two-
story building overlooking the Desert Willow Golf Course with an open space park-like
area on the south side of the building.
A. ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USE:
North: PR-5 / Desert Willow Golf Course
South: PR-4 / Silver Sands Racquet Club
East: PR-5 / Seventh Day Adventist Church
West: O.P. / Office complex under construction
B. SITE DESCRIPTION:
The property is relatively flat land on the north side of Country Club Drive
which extends north to the Desert Willow golf course.
C. ARCHITECTURE REVIEW COMMISSION ACTION:
The revised plans were reviewed by ARC at its July 23, 2002 and September
24, 2002 meetings and were given preliminary approval.
D. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
On November 19, 2002, the Planning Commission considered the revised
proposal and on a 4-1 vote with Commissioner Finerty voting nay,
recommended approval to the City Council. No member of the public was
present at the Planning Commission hearing.
III. PRECISE PLAN:
The project includes two buildings and takes access from Country Club Drive at the
east property line where it will share the existing driveway with the church to the
east. The project has been designed so that it can connect with the property to the
west (that site will share an access at its west limit with the Homme property on the
corner).

RESOLUTION NO. 02-155
STAFF REPORT
PP 01-02 AMENDMENT #1
DECEMBER 12, 2002
The site plan shows the bank facility at the south end of the site (setback 30 feet
from the curb) facing Country Club Drive, and at the north end overlooking Desert
Willow a two-story office is proposed. The front setback is comprised of 22 feet of
landscape in front of the building plus 8 feet of sidewalk. Public Works Department
has required as a condition of approval that the dedicated half street be expanded
from 44 feet to 55 feet, even though no additional widening is anticipated at this
time. The 55 foot half street is consistent with the circulation element provision of
the general plan.
The site plan now proposes that the drive-thru lane for the bank be located along the
west side of the building.
Building architecture has been changed but can still be described as contemporary
desert architecture. In order to screen the drive-thru from Country Club Drive, the
south building wall is extended to the west some 50 feet at a height of 15' and 10'.
Landscaping for the project will be desert, and will complement the Desert Willow
area.
The applicant has provided a large park-like area between the two buildings. As of
this time a theme for the use of this open space area has not been developed, but it
most likely will house the project's public art.

Office Building Setbacks:
East Side 55 feet 20 feet
West Side 41 feet 0 feet
Rear (North) 55 feet 20 feet
Height 15 - 18 - 27 - 35 feet *25 feet
See discussion below on roof elements above 25 feet.
IV. ANALYSIS:
This plan provides a new architectural concept along with site plan changes.
The main site plan change involves a reduction in the front setback from 42 feet from
curb to 30 to 32 feet from curb, and placing the drive-thru window on the west side
of the building versus the north side. In order to screen the new location, the
applicant has extended the front building wall westerly at a height of 15 feet
stepping down to 10 feet near the property line.
The west side of the property provides a 12-foot wide driveway, which will be
coupled with an additional 12 feet from the property to the west to provide adequate
circulation. The additional 12 feet on the west will be constructed as part of this
development (i.e., the bank building and with the office building).
This plan provides 100% onsite parking and shares its access with the church to the
east.
Roof Elements Above 25 Feet
The two-story office building includes a 35 foot high tower element which occupies
less than 10% of the floor area. M.C. Section 25.56.300 provides for such height
exceptions with City Council concurrence.
The building section at 27 feet in height falls into the more recent height exception
established by the City Council for the office building on San Pablo in the O.P.
district. In that instance, the City Attorney determined that the O.P. provisions allow
the City Council to approve buildings in excess of the height limit.

DECEMBER 12, 2002
V. COMPARISON WITH PREVIOUS APPROVAL:
The main change from the previous approval on this property involves the location
of the drive-thru window. In the first proposal, it was located on the north side of
the building and the west side yard was landscaped. This required all persons parking
in the parking lot to walk through the drive-thru lanes in order to enter the building.
The applicant has relocated the drive-thru lane to the west. In order to screen the
drive-thru, a wall system is proposed across the front of the lot. Other changes
include reducing the front setback from 42 feet to 30 feet from the curb.
VI. CEQA REVIEW:
The previous project was reviewed for compliance with CEQA, and a negative
declaration of environmental impact was certified. This project is substantially similar
to the project approved in 2001 . No further environmental review is necessary.

Commissioner Jonathan said that he could be wrong, but he wasn't
persuaded that a successful surgeon's office with one or two surgeons
would produce less traffic than an office. He said he respected the
survey, but he frequented those businesses pretty regularly and he
always had a hard time finding a parking space. Not disputing staff's
findings or necessarily the recommendation, but he was not in favor.
Chairperson Finerty concurred with Commissioner Jonathan. She
apparently went to that site at the wrong time as well. It was next to
impossible to find a parking place. It was a parking nightmare at this time
and any time they went to medical uses, they would complicate the
parking problem. She noticed that there would be five exam rooms, plus
a procedure room, which told her there could be a number of people both
in the waiting area, in each exam room, and in the procedure room. She
was opposed, but asked for a motion of approval.

Mr. Drell noted that the commission had plans in their packets. This was
a project the commission had seen before and approved. The applicant
had done some redesign both to the architecture and the site plan. The

architecture had become a bit more contemporary and had some
elements that were a little more challenging. It has a tower element at 35
feet. It was within the ordinance standard for towers and could be
approved and would go to the Council. As well, other elements were at
27 feet which was higher than the O.P. standard which would also be
going to the Council. Pursuant to some interpretations they made in the
past, the plan was reviewed and recommended for approval by the
Architectural Review Commission. There was a site planning change.
Originally the drive through for the bank was along the north side of the
building between the bank and the parking lot and that required people
in the parking lot to cross through the drive through to get to the front
of the bank and they rotated it so that the drive through was now on the
west side of the building. In rotating the building, it moved it a bit closer
to the front on Country Club and reduced the front setback from 42 feet
down to 30 and 32 feet from curb, which still met the O.P. standard.
Based on the Architectural Commission's recommendation and approval
of the architecture and the compliance with the O.P. standards, staff
recommended approval with the height issues going to Council.
Commissioner Campbell noted that they moved their drive through on the
west side so that people won't have to walk through that area from the
parking lot, but asked what they were going to do with the parking
spaces on the west side of the drive through. There are parking spaces
right there and she asked if those would be used. Mr. Drell said they
would still be used. Those spaces didn't back out onto the drive through,
they would back out onto a shared driveway with the property to the
west. Commissioner Campbell asked if people did park there, if they
could still walk to the bank. Mr. Drell said those parking spaces would
have to walk through it, but in the original plan, all the spaces had to
walk through the drive through. Commissioner Campbell noted that the
only entrance to the bank was on the north side of the building. Mr. Drell
said that was correct. He said it might have a service entrance some
where else, but the primary access was on the north side and that was
where most of the parking would be.
Chairperson Finerty asked how far back the tower element was from
Country Club and if the tower element backs up to Desert Willow. Mr.
Drell said that it was on the back building, so it was 450 feet away. It
was a long way. Chairperson Finerty asked why they would have a
25

PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION REVISION 13M

tower in the corner in the dark. Mr. Drell said that it wouldn't be in the
corner or in the dark when they were around that building. That building
interacts with the park feature, so the buildings were designed to be
viewed from the areas adjacent to them, not just from Country Club.
Chairperson Finerty asked if the area most adjacent would be Desert
Willow. Mr. Drell said yes. Chairperson Finerty asked if they were
building the tower for the golfers. Mr. Drell said no and they could
discuss it with the architect in terms of his motivation for the tower.
Commissioner Jonathan pointed out that the staff report indicated that
the front setback on Country Club was comprised of 22 feet of landscape
in front of the building plus eight feet of sidewalk. Mr. Drell said that was
correct. Commissioner Jonathan asked if Public Works was going to take
11 feet of that. Mr. Drell said no, that was after the 11 feet had been
removed. It was his understanding that the plan as submitted was after
the dedication. The section of road they were seeing on the plan included
the dedication. The plans had been drawn with the assumption that the
11 feet were already gone. Commissioner Jonathan asked if the existing
setback as it is right now is more like 41 feet, not 30. Mr. Drell said that
if the road wasn't going to be widened, that would be the setback, but
the road was going to be widened per the Public Works condition.
Commissioner Jonathan noted that the 30 feet would be post street
widening, so the sidewalk and landscaping would be as indicated on the
plans after the widening. Mr. Drell said yes. The plans showed what
would exist after the project was completed and the road widened.
Chairperson Finerty opened the public hearing and asked the applicant to
address the commission.
MR. ALAN SANBORN, Sanborn A/E representing Canyon National
Bank, 1227 S. Gene Autry Trail in Palm Springs, addressed the
commission. Regarding the parking spaces on the west side, he
said that primarily those would probably be used by staff. There
was a staff entrance on the southwest corner of the building. That
parking was a little out of the way, but the only public entrance
was to the north so the idea was that those people would park in
that parking lot to the north, come in through the north and there
was extra parking on the west side for some staff members. They

I leave at night andgo out there andget there earlyin the
could g
morning, so there wouldn't be a conflict with the drive through.
Regarding the tower, he said it was very difficult to have a two-
story building to try to squeeze into the height in this particular
zone. He said they worked with staff to try and come up with
some different cross sections and showed them different
construction methods to try to differentiate between eight foot
high ceilings in office spaces and nine or ten foot high ceilings and
just the quality of an office space that has a ten foot ceiling. The
tower was actually the lobby for the elevator area, so with the
elevator that was required to stick up higher than the general
parapet of the building, they thought it would be nice to generate
a lobby with some light going in so when people were up on the
second floor, it wasn't just an enclosed hallway. When they walk
out to where the elevator is, they could look down into the first
floor, look out through some glass to the east and generate an
element that also allowed them when they drive into the site
because it sits so far back, they could look down the driveway and
see it and to him that said entrance or main kind of entrance
lobby, especially if they were looking for someone who works on
the second floor office space. So it was kind of like a directional
element, an element to break up a long linear building, and also a
functional element because it houses the elevator tower inside.
He stated that he concurred with all the conditions and hoped for
a favorable response.
Chairperson Finerty asked if anyone wished to speak in FAVOR or
OPPOSITION to the project. There was no one and the public hearing
was closed. Chairperson Finerty asked for commission comments.
Even though they have adequate parking spaces, 110 parking spaces,
Commissioner Campbell asked what use would be on the second floor of
the building. She asked if it was going to be general offices, or medical,
or if that would have to come back to the commission for a conditional
use permit if it was going to be used for medical for additional parking
spaces. Mr. Drell said that if any uses that come in exceed the parking
supply, then they would have to come back for a conditional use permit.

Commissioner Jonathan stated that it was a great project. He liked the
design and thought the traffic flow made sense. All standards were met
and he was ready to move for approval.
Commissioner Campbell concurred and said she would second that if it
was a motion. Commissioner Jonathan said he would make it a motion.
Commissioner Tschopp said that the current plan took into consideration
some of the concerns he had with the last building and the drive-up. He
thought it was a nice project.
Commissioner Lopez concurred.
Chairperson Finerty stated that she was opposed to the project, mainly
because of the tower element. She didn't feel there should be an
exception for the tower element right at the Desert Willow golf course.
The view would be obstructed to a certain extent from Desert Willow and
she knew the City spent a lot of time and effort trying to construct a
beautiful golf course. She thought it was an inappropriate location for the
tower elementopposed.
and for that reason she was o osed.

CASE NOS: PP 01-02 Amend
ment #1
REQUEST: Approval of a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact and a
precise plan of design for two buildings (an office and a bank) on a 2.33
acre site on the north side of Country Club Drive 450 feet east of
Portola, 74-1 50 Country Club Drive.
APPLICANT: Sanborn AE, Inc. for Canyon Bank
12275 S. Gene Autry Trail, Suite C
Palm Springs, CA 92264
BACKGROUND:
In June 2001 , Planning Commission considered a simlar request which also included
a change of zone to 0.P. That request was approved by City Council. The bank has
changed architects. The building design has changed and the site plan has been
modified.
II. CURRENT PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The proposal is to construct two buildings on the parcel. The southerly (front)
building will be a single story bank, while the northerly office building will be a two-
story building overlooking the Desert Willow Golf Course with an open space park-like
area on the south side of the building.
A. ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USE:
North: PR-5 / Desert Willow Golf Course
South: PR-4 / Silver Sands Racquet Club
East: PR-5 / Seventh Day Adventist Church
West: O.P. / Office complex under construction
B. SITE DESCRIPTION:
The property is relatively flat land on the north side of Country Club Drive
which extends north to the Desert Willow golf course.
STAFF REPORT
PP 01-02 AMENDMENT #1
NOVEMBER 19, 2002
C. ARCHITECTURE REVIEW COMMISSION ACTION:
The revised plans were reviewed by ARC at its July 23, 2002 and September
24, 2002 meetings and were given preliminary approval.
III. PRECISE PLAN:
The project includes two buildings and will take its main access from Country Club
Drive at the east property line where it will share the existing driveway with the
church to the east. The project has been designed so that it can connect with the
property to the west (that site will share an access at its west limit with the Homme
property on the corner).
The site plan shows the bank facility at the south end of the site (setback 30 feet
from the curb) facing Country Club Drive and at the north end overlooking Desert
Willow a two-story office is proposed. The front setback is comprised of 22 feet of
landscape in front of the building plus 8 feet of sidewalk. Public Works Department
has required as a condition of approval that the dedicated half street be expanded
from 44 feet to 55 feet even though no additional widening is anticipated at this
time. The 55 foot half street is consistent with the circulation element provision of
the general plan.
The site plan now proposes that the drive-thru lane for the bank be located along the
west side of the building. The 32-foot wide west side yard will be landscaped.
Building architecture has been changed but can still be described as contemporary
desert architecture. In order to screen the drive-thru from Country Club Drive, the
south building wall is extended to the west some 50 feet at a height of 15' and 10'.
Landscape for the project will be desert and will complement the Desert Willow area.
This project provides 100% of its required parking onsite. The applicant has provided
a large park-like area between the two buildings. As of this time a theme for the use
of this open space area has not been developed but it most likely will house the
project's public art.

West Side 41 feet 0 feet
Rear (North) 55 feet 20 feet
Height 15 - 18 - 27 - 35 feet *25 feet
See discussion below on roof elements above 25 feet.
IV. ANALYSIS:
This plan provides a new architectural concept along with site plan changes.
The main site plan change involves a reduction in the front setback from 42 feet from
curb to 30 feet to 32 feet from curb and placing the drive-thru window on the west
side of the building versus the north side. In order to screen the new location, the
applicant has extended the front building wall westerly at a height of 15 feet and
stepping down to 10 feet near the property line.
The west side of the property provides a 12-foot wide driveway which will be
coupled with an additional 12 feet from the property to the west to provide adequate
3
STAFF REPORT
PP 01-02 AMENDMENT #1
NOVEMBER 19, 2002
circulation. The additional 12 feet on the west will be con
structed with this
development (i.e., the bank building and with the office building).
This plan provides 100% onsite parking and shares its access with the church to the
east.
The revised architecture was given preliminary approval by ARC at its meetings of
July 23, 2002 and September 24, 2002.
Roof Elements Above 25 Feet
The two-story office building includes a tower element which occupies less than 10%
of the floor area. This element is 35 feet in height and is located in excess of 450
north of Country Club.
M.C. Section 25.56.300 provides for such height exceptions with City Council
concurrence.
The building section at 27 feet in height falls into the more recent height exception
established by the City Council for the office building on San Pablo in the O.P.
district. In that instance, the City Attorney determined that the O.P. provisions allow
the City Council to approve buildings in excess of the height limit.
V. COMPARISON WITH PREVIOUS APPROVAL:
The main change from the previous approval on this property involves the location
of the drive-thru window. In the first proposal, it was located on the north side of
the building and the west side yard was landscaped. This required all persons parking
in the parking lot to walk through the drive-thru lanes in order to enter the building.
The applicant has relocated the drive-thru lane to the west. In order to screen the
drive-thru, a wall system is proposed across the front of the lot. Other changes
include reducing the front setback from 42 feet to 30 feet from the curb.
VI. CEQA REVIEW:
The previous project was reviewed for compliance with CEQA and a negative
declaration of environmental impact was certified. This project is substantially similar
to the project approved in 2001 . No further environmental review is necessary.
