MEMORANDUM
CITY OF PALM DESERT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Philip Drell , Associate Planner
DATE: December 19, 1985
SUBJECT: Twenty four foot bell tower for Newman Center remodel at
southwest corner of Fred Waring and San Pablo.
The proposed Newman Center remodel at the southwest corner of Fred Waring
Drive and San Pablo Avenue includes a 24 foot high mission style bell
tower/parapet. The maximum height within the R-2 S.P. zone is 18 feet.
Section 25.56.300 of the zoning ordinance allows heights above the 18 foot
maximum for special architectural features. The city council had requested
that all height exception requests be brought before them for review.
The proposed bell tower/parapet was reviewed and endorsed by the architectural
commission. The height of the civic center council chamber on the diagonal
corner is 28 feet. The entire Fred Waring frontage between San Pablo and
Monterey is planned for Office Professional zoning. The bell tower/parapet
would conform to the proposed office professional height standards.
RECOMMENDATION:
By minute motion approve height exception for Newman Center bell tower/parapet.
