ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMISSION
MINUTES June 14, 2016
V. CASES:
A. Final Drawings:
1. CASE NO.: CUP 16-99
APPLICANT (AND ADDRESS): Alfredo Alvidrez, 77-530 Delaware
Place, Palm Desert, CA 92211
NATURE OF PROJECT/APPROVAL SOUGHT: Consideration to
approve a new accessory detached garage 18 feet in height and 25
feet from rear property line.
LOCATION: 77700 Delaware Place (Vacant Lot)
ZONE: R-E, 40,000
For the record: Mr. Swartz asked Commissioner McIntosh if he
wished to be recused from this project as he did at a previous
meeting. Commissioner McIntosh responded that he did not have
any concerns with the project and did not recuse himself.
Mr. Kevin Swartz, Associate Planner, reminded the Commissioners
this item was continued from a previous meeting for an accessory
building. He presented the site plan and described the home and
the height of the accessory building. He pointed out the location of
the building and stated that it is 25' from the rear setback line. The
Commission had some architectural concerns that it wasn't
compatible. Per their comments the applicant is now considering a
mansard roof with tile to match the existing house. Another concern
raised by the Commissioners was the viewing corridor. Mr. Swartz
presented photos of the location and stated that this will not be
viewed from the line of sight. Staff feels this is a better design and
is recommending approval.
The Commission reviewed and discussed setbacks, the viewing
corridor, and attic vents. They felt this was a much better design.
ACTION:
Commissioner Levin moved to approve detached garage RV storage as
proposed. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Colombini and carried by
a 6-0-2 vote, with Colombini, Lambell, Levin, McAuliffe, McIntosh, and Van
Vliet voting YES and Commissioners Clark and Vuksic absent.

to identify their business.
