Cipriani, Associate Planner Recently the Staff revised the standard application form for Design Review Board review. The revised form requires the applicant to sign the list of standard conditions as a part of the application procedure. As a result, the only conditions of approval the Board will see upon their review of cases will be special conditions of approval recommended by staff or special conditions added by the Board. Further, as the DRB will now receive preliminary architectural plans prior to Planning Commission action on development plans, conditional use permits or tracts , whichever is the case, the Board's recommended conditions of approval will be added to the list of conditions for the related Planning Commission case. As a result, each such case will include Standard conditions, Special conditions and DRB conditions of approval . Each incoming case will still be assigned a DRB case number. 'ooft" INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM City of Palm Desert HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL/CITY BOARD TO: AND COMMISSION MEMBERS/CITY STAFF FROM: MARTIN J. BOUMAN, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: PALM DESERT CITY EMPLOYEES BLOOD GROUP DATE: September 30, 1977 All arrangements have been completed, and a Palm Desert City Employees Blood Group has been registered with the Community Blood Bank Center. There are a couple of rules of which we should all be mindful : (1 ) For every pint of blood withdrawn for the use of our group, two pints must be replaced. This is necessary to cover the operational costs of the Blood Bank. (2) Records will be kept of each individual blood donation as it is credited to our group. The reason is that each such credit expires one year after the donation was made. Again, this helps offset the operational costs of the Blood Bank. In view of the above rules , it is obvious that we must at all times maintain a substantial balance in our blood account. This will necessitate occasional blood donor recruitment which will result in the obvious advantage to all City employees in knowing that blood will be available at any time that it may be needed for themselves or any member of their family. So, we are at the point where we need blood. I realize that every City staff and board member may not be able to personally donate blood, but they should all know that the donation can be made by a family member or a friend. Our blood group co-chairmen are Sheila Gilligan and Linda Russell , and I urge all of you to contact either one of them at the earliest possible time to arrange for a blood donation. Donations can be made on City time. We need to get the balance in our account built up at once. After all , no one knows when an emergency may come! MARTIN J. 40UMAN CITY MANAGER /srg DESIGN REVIEW BOARD DATE: Oct. 11, 1977 CASE NO. : 60C APPLICANT: CAMELOT VENTURE - JOSEPH CARRABUS LOCATION: East side of Highway 74 ZONING: R-3 18,000(3) , S.P. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of this project subject to the following modifications : 1. Two parking spaces be relocated to the east to provide permanent ramped access to the trash storage area. 2.

I . , S.P. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the preliminary plans subject to modified Conditions of Approval. The following modifications to the conditions of approval are recommended: - Deletion of Condition No. 10 - A revised Condition No. 11 to read: "The plantings at all entrances should be low growers so as not to hinder the the sight distance on each side thereof. Further, the entrance sign should be relocated or elevated to accomplish this purpose. " - Deletion of Condition No. 12 - Deletion of Condition No. 13 - Modification of Condition No. 14 as indicated by the City Engineer. - Deletion of Condition No. 15 - Deletion of Condition No. 22 Staff is also recommending that the applicant be required to submit a new set of plans reflecting all of the required modifications prior to Planning Commission review of the pre- liminary site, floor and elevation plans. • .e { DESIGN REVIEW BOARD DATE: Oct. 11, 1977 CASE NO. : 88MF { APPLICANT: VICTOR JENNINGS LOCATION: West side of Portola, northerly of Fairway ZONING: R-2, S.P. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: In review of the plans submitted for this case, Staff has dis- covered that they are technically deficient in that the dimen- sions indicated on Exhibits A and C are not the same. The location of the driveways poses problems with regard to traffic safety as they front on Portola. The proposal is not well suited to the site, nor does the design of the project protect the special aesthetic quality intended for the Portola Avenue corridor when the City placed the subject area in a scenic preservation overlay district. The extremely poor landscaping plan reflects a total disregard for the scenic preservation overlay. As the Design Review Board cannot make the findings required of the Board before it approves a project (Sec. 25. 39-2.05 of the Zoning Ord. ) , Staff is recommending denial of the proposal . DESIGN REVIEW BOARD DATE: Oct. 11, 1977 CASE NO. : 89MF APPLICANT: JOSEPH MUTASCIO LOCATION: South side of Catalina, between San Rafael and San Carlos ZONING: R-2 STAFF RECOMMENDATION; Staff is recommending approval of this case as it conforms to all of the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff has discussed with the applicant a recommendation that the driveways be redesigned so that back up space is provided and cars could leave the site without backing out onto Catalina. The applicant has expressed a willingness to cooperate in this area though the redesign may be a bit difficult to achieve as the City Engineer' s office has indicated an additional 5 ' of right-of-way is needed on Catalina. SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL CASE NO. 89MF 1. An additional five (5) feet of right-of-way on Catalina shall be dedicated to the City. • DESIGN REVIEW BOARD DATE: Oct . 11 , 1977 CASE NO. : 90MF APPLICANT: JOSEPH MUTASCIO LOCATION: West side of Monterey, between San Nicholas and Santa Ros ZONING: R-2, S .P. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending approval of this case subject to an additional condition which requires that the applicant redesign the driveways so that backup space will be provided eliminating the need to back out onto Monterey Avenue. The applicant expressed agreement when discussing the recommendation with Mr. Williams. wr✓ SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL CASE NO. 90MF 1 . Applicant shall redesign driveways so a single driveway shall be provided on Monterey with backup areas so as to eliminate motorists from backing out onto Monterey.

DESIGN REVIEW BOARD DATE: Oct. 11, 1977 CASE NO. : 32MF APPLICANT: JOSEPH MUTASCIO LOCATION: Southeast corner of Santa Rosa & San Pascual ZONING: R-2 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending approval of this landscaping plan with the following modifications : 1.
