ZONE: PC-2 (FCO)
The Commission granted preliminary approval of plans for the self-storage
facility during its December 14, 1999, meeting. The facility is a complex of
eight buildings. Around the perimeter will be single-story structures and in
the center there will be five, two-story buildings. The working drawings
presented at this meeting have changed from those shown to the
Commission a year ago. The interior buildings have been turned 90
degrees, the project has expanded, and the layout of the parking area to
the west has been altered slightly. It is now on both sides of the entry
driveway from Harris Lane.
The Commission had recommended that the self-storage buildings be
enhanced with more authentic looking southwestern architectural detailing.
Commissioner Gregory asked the applicant to explain what improvements
had been made per the Commission's comments at the last meeting.
Mr. Lee Rotsheck, representing Foremost Business Parks, responded that,
having picked up the project after the original submittal, he was looking for
a design similar to the existing structures already there, ie, the adjacent
Mobil station and the mini-mart. They wanted to capture the same effect
and create continuity of design and feel. The intent was that they didn't
want something that looked like a classic mini-storage. The inherent
2

functions of a mini-storage are contained within the interior, but you don't
see that until entering into the facility. The exterior amenities and detailing
have captured the essence of the surrounding architecture.
Mr. Rick Wallace, Valli Architectural Group, picked up the project from the
original designer and applicant. Their interpretation from the Commission's
previous comments was to maintain the rounded edges that are traditional
with the southwest look. For the line across the top, they took the
interpretation to do it as a two-inch inset panel, in essence that is all
masonry, so that would be 6 and 8-inch blocks with stucco over so it so
would create a reveal giving them an opportunity to have an accent color
and create a shadow on that plane. The articulation in the truncated
columns that stick out and the trellis at the top are the sole improvements to
what was initially a flat wall.
Mr. Wallace suggested using a "wood sugar' (reddish brown) for the
recessed accent walls and various shades of desert earth tones for the
plaster walls, the truncated pilasters, wood fascia and treillage, and metal
roll-up doors.
Commissioner Vuksic asked if the vertical lines above the column features
illustrated a change in plane or was that all in one plane. Mr. Wallace
stated that it was just a control joint and is all the same plane. At the
human scale, that's where the recess would be.
Commissioner O'Donnell asked if they were given copies of the minutes
from the meeting where preliminary approval was given as there were some
comments regarding the lack of authenticity of the southwestern
architectural detail and specific other details. He asked if the applicants
could go to those notes and tell us how they satisfied those issues. Mr.
Wallace interpreted that the details were on how it was constructed as
opposed to adding more articulation. Commissioner O'Donnell read from
the prior minutes, "the building be enhanced with more authentic looking
southwestern architectural detail". He asked if they had done that. Mr.
Wallace said that no, they hadn't, in that they were sticking with the subtle
interpretation of the panel. Anything more than that, no.
Commissioner Vuksic stated that it looks like the building needs quite a bit
of work. The panel at the top needed to be broken up. The way to start
would be to break up that plane by introducing shadow lines. Previously,
there were some peeler poles to create some shadows. The trellis area is
still maintained. The poles (outriggers) would project out. Commissioner
Hanson stated that the poles looked too small and asked how big they
were. The idea would be about 6 inch diameter. Commissioner Hanson

expressed concern that 4x6 poles with this much mass were going to get
lost and that they could do peeler poles without having to worry about
bases. It would go more with the architecture. She suggested that they
could do 15 to 18-inch peeler poles and get a better feel for it. Mr. Wallace
agreed that they could increase the diameter of the poles.
Commissioner Gregory recognized that they were new architects for this
project. He explained that the Commission had concerns about the lack of
southwestern detailing. He explained that the other buildings in that area
were not within the City of Palm Desert boundaries when they were
developed. The standards were lower than what the City expects and
cautioned the applicant not to "down"their standards. He didn't think the
changes would be that difficult to make. Mr. Wallace agreed that they
seemed to be talking about enhancing the exterior skin from the street and
to address the view where the 2-story buildings pop above the other
buildings. Mr. Wallace thought they could address the suggestions and the
scale of the components.
nd
d if the
Commissioner Gregory bated that there was a sic finish with different lot of mass colorings oaare weee there
buildings were all one
different types of finishes that might break up the mass even more. Mr.
Wallace responded that the proposed finish would be a knock-down trowel
finish because of its more adobe looking. The knock-down trowel finish will
introduce movement in the surface.
Commissioner Vuksic suggested introducing some heavier material on the
lower part and suggested getting ride of the horizontal appearance of the
depressed areas as it is not inherent to the architecture and doesn't do
anything to enhance the building. Having the depressions is good but they
need to look at the proportions.
Mr. Smith noted that the City Landscape Manager has reviewed the plans
and would like to talk to the applicant's landscape architect. Commissioner
Gregory would like to have the landscape submitted as a preliminary as it
has not been before the Commission in a year's time. He stated that last
time it was pretty raw and very complex. Applicant stated that there was
plenty of setback so they can add components to dress up the wall. It was
recommended that they go with a landscape appropriate for the desert, ie,
water efficient, arid, and desert themed.
Commissioner Vuksic stated that he believes that the planes need to be
varied more than 2 inches. With the scale of these buildings, they need to
be more substantial. And if there

Mr. Rotsheck stated that they had been caught a little off-guard explaining
that their intent was not to diverge from the original plans believing it would
be going away from the Commission's intent. With this opportunity, they
will take in as much of the Commission's recommendations as possible,
integrate them, and will do their utmost to bring it up to the Commission's
expectations as quickly as they can. They stated that they would have to
do some more research on authentic southwest detailing and asked if the
Commission could give them examples of projects in the area, that would
help them in terms of both the building and the landscaping so that they
could apply that look easily.
Commissioner Gregory asked Mr. Smith if maybe the architectural changes
should be a quick study and brought back to the Commission rather than
revise the entire working drawings. That would save them time in case they
don't quite get it. Applicant was agreeable. Mr. Smith related that the next
Commission meeting would be December 121''
Mr. Wallace noted that there were a couple of other schematic things that
they didn't believe would have a substantive affect on the planning end that
they wanted to run by the Commission. The two-story buildings in the
center were re-oriented 90 degrees. Mr. Smith noted that the exterior rows
of buildings are now 16 feet in height, where they were 12 feet, so one sees
less of the interior at this point. Mr. Wallace stated that the Planning
Commission wanted the palm trees on the interior at the ends of the
buildings. Unfortunately, the layout of the openings for the spaces,
precludes them from putting the palm trees in there. They would propose
adding more palm trees in the exterior planter. The effect would provide
more impact.
Commissioner Gregory suggested that if they were considering putting
them on Harris Lane which is more of a parkway landscape, they shouldn't
just trade palm tree locations tit for tat. The entry drive further north on
Harris Lane makes more sense because you can see through there and
there's a reason for them being there. He understands the reason for them
being removed from the southern portion. Commissioner Connor agreed
and suggested that they not get too involved with palm trees.
The Commission had recommended the plantings be a desert variety, that
there be more lower story plantings rather than an overabundance of Palm
Springs gold, and that a planter be added to the west of the adjacent Mobil
station. The Commission recommended that the applicant's landscape
designer check with the City's Landscape Manager for suggestions and
approval.

Commissioner Hanson moved, seconded by Commissioner Connor, to
continue the case with comments to the applicants to enhance with
buildings with more authentic looking southwestern architectural detailing,
to enhance the exterior skin form the street where you can see the 2-story
buildings popping up, break up the horizontal plane at top, increase the
diameter of the peeler poles (outriggers) to 15-18 inches, to give some
thought to the finish of the buildings, to introduce heavier material on the
lower sections, to get rid of the horizontal appearance of and improve the
proportions of the depressed areas, to increase the dimension of the varied
planes more than two inches, and to have the applicant's landscape
designer check with the City's Landscape Manager about the landscape
plan. The motion carried 6-0-1 with Commissioner Van Vliet absent.

APPLICANT (AND ADDRESS): CITY OF PALM DESERT, 73-510
Waring Drive, Palm Desert, CA 92260
NATURE OF PROJECT/APPROVAL SOUGHT: Approval of Civic
Center Park Amphitheater Upgrade
LOCATION: Civic Center Park
ZONE: P (Public Institution
Mr. Reuel Young of Interactive Design Corporation presented drawings
and 3-dimensional models of the proposed amphitheater. The existing
amphitheater has been so successful it has exceeded the expectations of
the City. A subcommittee was formed to investigate the possibility of
expanding the capacity of the amphitheater for variety of performances.
While the existing amphitheater will be torn down, the location of the new
structure will be the same, the sculpting of seating terracing remains as is;
and the control panel remains as it is. The fundamental basic
requirements were that people who sit across the pond could see the
activity, it had to be asymmetrical to be open, it had to be something that
when nothing is going on it felt like it belonged in the park, and that it
allowed a view to the mountains. The concept of an asymmetrical column
planted on the lefthand side (stage right) on a lozenge-shaped stage with
a tree-like canopy was created.
Interactive Design Corporation consulted with Dean of Theater, USC; The
McCallum Theater; and the Director of Fine Arts, COD. In every case,

their response was that this design provided a venue that was unique and
would call for productions that would be signature here.
It had to make sense in scale for a single speaker, a small group, or a
large group to frame that stage. An early decision had been made to
provide augmented audio; this would not be an acoustical shell. The
infrastructure of the existing amphitheater was well thought out. The
current capacity of 800 amps will match the needs for any performance.
There is an existing 15 —inch underground conduit so that production
companies who bring in their cables can make connections to the control
panel. This concept can support a wide range of activities - amateur
(limited production capabilities) to those things that take place already (the
Riverside Philharmonic)to grand productions.
Boulders will provide a framing of the 50' wide x 30' deep stage. The main
stage is comparable in size to the McCallum. However, there is much
more space around it. The boulders serve as backdrops and moveable
walls. They also define the access to the stage. A corner of the stage can
be used as a little story telling area (for classes), the base of the tree has
seating platforms, and there is a shallow orchestra pit for as many as
many a14-20 person assemble. The stage floor will be colored concrete
and the stage will be wheelchair accessible.
At the rear of the stage is a masonry building to be used for temporary
storage (for musicians/actors props and baggage), permanent storage for
City equipment, an alcove for a scissors-lift for use by production
companies to come in and raise trusses with their lights on them, a
dimmer panel room to control the permanently set non-colored lights, a
restroom, a "green" room, and in general, room for support staff and
production assistants.
The structure will not have any moving permanent parts because of dust
and heat. The production companies will bring their own winches to hook
their equipment to the pick points in the structure. There will be a modest
program of externally shielded lights.
The main feature's concept is that of an asymmetrical tree with a
sculptural quality. The trunk is cantilevered 5'5" in diameter with spars
adding between 18-24" each to the diameter, 36 feet top to bottom with a
60 foot wide canopy designed to look like tree branches and leaves. This

facility is shaded and weather shedding but not weather proof. What
captures the attention is the beauty of the canopy's lace-like structure. The
decision was made to use tension fabric panels for a more natural look
instead of metal panels. The panels are shaped to fit within the
"branches" of the tree and proposed to be translucent in effect. There will
be three layers of fabric designed to give a dappled, leafy effect. From a
distance, at night, a glow will emanate from the canopy. The fabric has a
20-year life span and has been used at the Denver Airport and the Saudi
Arabia Airport. They can be removed and/or replaced individually.
To stay within the natural look of earthen tones, it is anticipated that
Corten steel will be used. It is self-healing, ie, it rusts, but the rust protects
it and it doesn't corrode. The premise is to have it warm and earthen with
veins of green rather than shiny.
Mr. Young stated that parts of the metal trunk in the sun will get hot and
that there is more shade on west side than on the east side. He stated
that they were looking into some kind of procedure being developed so
that the steel won't be bare at the base.
Structurally, an engineer took the longest branch and loaded with lateral,
dead weight, and wind, the load on 10% of the members are stressed to
only 30% of their capacity at maximum. The design is well within the
capability of this technology to build. it is so heavy, wind is not a
consideration. And because of its cantilevered design, earthquakes are
not problematic.
Commissioner Hanson asked about the effect of wind within the panels.
Commissioner Dickinson of AIPP expressed that it could make a sound
such as a reed instrument as the wind passes through or resonance with
the metal. It was suggested that perhaps the structure could be place in a
wind tunnel.
The estimated construction cost is less than $2 million which includes all
landscaping, the removal of the existing structure, the design fee, the
lighting, infrastructure, stage, the behind-the-stage building, boulders,
new walks, and the tree. The "tree" is about $350,000, half of what was
anticipated. Commissioner Gregory mentioned that this being a "living"
design, there will have to be some tweaking to the structure.

Calhoun, Indio, CA 92201, for MAIL and MORE
NATURE OF PROJECT/APPROVAL SOUGHT: Approval of
business identification signage
LOCATION: 73-965 Hwy. 111
ZONE: C-1
The applicant is requesting internally illuminated, reverse channel letters in
red for "Mail and More" and also a small logo can box reading "alla prima
gallery" in dark bronze vinyl letters on an ivory plex face. The logo sign
sits below and to the right of the "Mail and More" letters. In effect, the
applicant will be operating two businesses out of the same facility,
therefore the difference in the signage for the two businesses.
Staff feels that the way the two signs are laid out is awkward. The
applicant occupies half of this store front. Therefore, another occupant
could want to have signage on the other half.
Commissioner Vuksic suggested either putting both types of signs on one
line or centering the logo sign either above or below the "Mail and More"
lettering. Commissioner O'Donnell and Hanson suggested the signs be
arranged in a triangular shape because it brings the "Mail and More"
letters down and looks more balanced.
Commissioner O'Donnell moved, seconded by Commissioner Hanson, to
grant approval to the signage with the comments that the oval can sign be
placed over the reverse channel letters "Mail and More".

Mr. Jim Pollard, the applicant, questioned the necessity of making the
suggested changes when compared to other signage in the same area.
Commissioner Gregory explained that most of those signs had gone up
prior to the City's current sign program and that every time someone
comes in, the Commission is attempting to improve that area. He stated
that the Commission was giving him what he wanted, just rearranging it to
add balance. It was further pointed out that there were two very different
styles incorporated. Mr. Pollard stated that he was looking at it from an
advertising point of view, ie, separating the two signs.
This building having multiple occupants must have some sort of sign
program. Commissioner Gregory would suggest that the building owner
signs off on it.
Commissioner Vuksic asked if they were approving something that might
become a sign program, ie, was this a sign program evolving? He asked
if the Commission wanted to approve a can sign as this might set a
precedent for what happens on the other side of this building.
Commissioner Gregory asked if we wanted to approve a can sign which
will become a part of the sign program for this building. Mr. Pollard
pointed out that there were a few other can signs along that portion of
Hwy. 111.

This case has been before the Commission four times. Applicant was
present at the first meeting. Commissioners Vuksic and Gregory had
driven by the residence. Commissioner Vuksic recommended denying the
request. He stated that adding plants on either side of the trailer would be
beneficial in reducing the window of view, but would create a hazardous
condition because the view of the intersection is blocked. While it is just a
tent trailer with less mass than a car or truck, this looks like something that
is stored on the driveway. Should consent be given to store the tent trailer
in its present location, that consent goes with the house should it be sold.
Action:
Commissioner Vuksic moved, seconded by Commissioner Connor, to
deny this request because there is not substantial screening of the tent
trailer and if substantial screening were achieved, it would create a
hazardous traffic condition on the corner. Motion carried 6-0-1 with
