CASE NO. : 67C
APPLICANT: HUGHES INVESTh7ENTS __
LOCATION: Southeast corner of Highway 111 and 74
ZONING: C-1 , S .P.
STAFF RECONIll1ENDATION:
As the question of the most appropriate use af the subject
site is one that the Planning Commission will still have to
come to terms with, the Design Review Board should primarily
concentrate on the building design and site plan.
The plans will necessarily have to be modified in order to
meet the parking requirements which are as follows :
Sambos 60
Restaurant 52
Offices 56
Offices 53
Shops 26
Grocery store 195
442
The proposal is deficient by 21 parking spaces. . Staff is
recommending that the floor space of the grocery store be
reduced to account for some of these spaces. The Staff is
still recommending that the grocery store be re-oriented to
face the east . Better design might alleviate potential traf-
fic circulation problems at the northwest corner of the pro-
ject. Staff is recommending continuance of the case in order
to provide the applicant with additional time to further
modify the proposal .

(714) 278-3365 TRAFFIC AND PARKING STUDIES
December 31, 1977
Mr. Ron Roberts, AIA
SGPA Planning & Architecture
440 Upas Street
San Diego, California 92103
Dear Mr. Roberts:
As you know, late in December 1977 you called on Federhart & Associates ,
traffic consultants, to make a traffic analysis of your proposed Safe-
way Shopping Center project in Palm Desert. That study has been com-
pleted now, and this letter will document its findings and include our
recommendations.
The proposed project is located in Palm Desert between Route 111 and
El Paseo, immediately east of, and adjacent to, Route 74 . On the site
at the present time, and remaining, are a service station at the south-
east corner of Routes 111 and 74 , and a Sambo' s Restaurant immediately
east of the service station.
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) traffic counts made
at the intersection of Route 74 and E1 Paseo, reveal that Route 74 is
carrying about 8000 average daily vehicles (ADT) at the site, while E1
Paseo is carrying about 7200 ADT. All of the roadways adjacent to the
project are four lane highways with room for left turn lanes . Both E1
Paseo and Route 111 have raised medians while Route 74 has a painted
two way left turn lane. There is an existing traffic signal at the
intersection of Routes 111 and 74 while there are existing four way
stop signs at Route ?4 and El Paseo.
The proposed project is located in Palm Desert' s Redevelopment Area and
generally conforms to the concepts presented in the Redevelopment Area
Master Plan. The project land uses include a Safeway Supermarket, re-
tail shops, some second story offices , and a Carl' s Jr. restaurant.
The developer has worked with the existing Sambo ' s restaurant so that
traffic access and parking for the two can be integrated into one over-
all plan to the benefit of each.
The following Table 1 presents the expected ADT and PM peak hour traf-
fic of the project and the existing Sambo' s.

TABLE 1
- Expected Traffic of the Project Plus Exiting Sambo' s
ADT Rate 2-Way 4 to 5 Pi•i
Lane Use Square Feet Per 1000 Sq.Ft. ADT Peak Hour

Safeway 39,050 100 3, 905 140 120

Sambo ' s 4, 000 100 400 20 20
Total 6,075 250 265
It must be stated here that not all of the above generated traffic is
"new" traffic on the streets surrounding the project - much of it is
already present on other trip purposes to, or past, the project area.
For instance, in the PM peak hour, some studies have found that at
retail shops, 35 to 40% of the retail customers are on another trip
purpose and just "dropped in" to the center while they were going by.
To assess the impact of the above traffic, it is also necessary to know
the directional distribution to and from the project. For this pro-
ject, in this location in Palm Desert, the following estimate of
distribution was made.

Using the above distrubition, and the expected traffic from Table
1, a hand traffic assignment was made which duplicates the arrival
and departure routes of the users and patrons of the project. This
traffic assignment is shown on Figure 1 for both the ADT and the
inbound and outbound 4 to 5 Prs street peak hour. This figure repre-
sents the project traffic some years from now, when it is fully
occupied, is a part of the Redevelopment Project, and some traffic
to and from the east will be able to use the Sage Street or other
entrances/exits east of Octillo.
As can be seen on Figure 1, right turns in only are assumed from
Route 111 to the project in the vicinity of the Frontage Road with
right turns in and out to Route 111 allowed only at the existing
Sambo' s driveway. On Highway 74 , the existing Sambo' s driveway is
to be moved further south. This driveway also will allow only right
turns in and out and will serve both Sambo' s and the project.
When the peak hour volumes shown on Figure 1 are added to the exist-
ing volumes at the intersection of Route 74 and E1 Paseo, they add
about 10% during the PM peak hour. With these volumes added to
existing traffic and assuming a traffic signal and existing geo-
metrics it was found that this intersection will be operating at
only 45$ of capacity.
An analysis of the volumes shown on Figure 1 indicates that all can
be easily accommodated - especially when it is realized that many are
already on these streets on other trip purposes. As can be seen,
there are about 38 expected peak hour vehicles leaving the Route 74
driveway and turning left onto Route 111. This is a minor movement
and will be very easy to make - especially after the planned traffic
signal at Route 74 and E1 Paseo is installed since it will create gaps
in the Route 74 traffic flow.
Recommendations
It is recommended by the consultant, that the city ask Caltrans to
immediately design and construct a traffic signal installation to
replace the existing four-way stop at E1 Paseo and Route 74 . This
traffic signal was warranted using 1975 traffic volumes and will
be especially needed when the additional lOg of traffic is added by
the proposed project.

When the above signal is installed, or by the time the project
is completed, it is also recommended that a raised median be con-
structed along Route 74 between E1 Paseo and Route 111. With this
median, the City and Caltrans can be assured that right turns only
will be possible at the Route 74 access driveway and thus a minimu.-n
of congestion or safety hazards will be present.
Looking forward to the day when the total Redevelopment Project is
a reality, it is recommended that the Frontage Road access along
Route 111 be designed for right turns in only. With this restriction,
there can be no conflicts or congestion at this location that could
seriously disrupt the traffic flow along the very important Route 111.
By incorporating the above recommendations into the Redevelopment Area
implementation and project plans, the City of Palm Desert can be
assured of a project in close conformity with the Redevelopment Area
biaster Plan which will operate very efficiently from a traffic opera-
tional standpoint.
Sincerely,
FEDERHART & ASSOCIATES

LOCATION: West side of Highway 111 at Rancho Mirage City Limits
ZONING: C-1 , S .P.
STAFF RECOMIIIENDATION:
Staff is recommending that the applicant consider a ground
monument sign rather than the fascia-mounted sign . After
several discussions with the Staff , the applicant appears
to have done reasonably well in achieving the setback and
parking requirements even though the site has an unusual
shape. The Staff is recommending approval of the preliminary
site, floor and elevations. A major concern of the Staff lies
in the area of traffic flow on Highway 111 . It is essential
that a transition lane be provided on Highway 111 , but in order
to provide such a lane the applicant would have to obtain the
required land from the neighbor to the west in F�ancho Mirage.
