Mr. Swartz reviewed the staff report, ri�#ing Q e correction to the:�hart on the bottom of page four from 155 to 255 park��g;spaces. He stated that all findings for approval could be made, a �tegatitii��eclaration was prepared, the project would comply with development LStandards as approved, adequate parking was being provided, there woulc� minimal impact on the surrounding area, and the build� ` :;height wa ` ccommodated by large setbacks.

When the application first �. � �,came in, ��of was flat a = hey felt it would give the building a new °el�t�nent by':��#c��tll.y coming up to a point. 'mfssioner Li.A� `� t asked if there would be anything inside the tower. Mr. Swat'tzr in�ficated :�. at an elevator would be in one of the towers. : y->orhtYti io�r' Lim` 't thanked him. � .�:. Y Commis�'� �Y �,` '�chmidt asked about the reason for the change of zone. Mr. :� Swartz e�p �ned that the current CVWD (Coachella Valley Water District) �,�: building.is zoned P (Public Institution). The proposed construction would also ;��` be a p `1ic building and a change of zone would incorporate the whole area '�'�' and make it compatible with the existing building's current zoning. �; �:�ommissioner Schmidt asked if there was a building height restriction for " public buildings. Mr. Swartz said no, development standards are as approved. Commissioner Tanner asked what CVW D was going to do with the existing building. Mr. Swartz thought it would still be in operation, but deferred the question to the applicant. 4 MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 1. 2008 Commissioner Schmidt asked what other residential dwellings were in the area besides the country club. Mr. Swartz commented that they are all two- stories: going east, Primrose and Sandcastle at 22-24 feet in height. Commissioner Schmidt asked approximately how close they wo Id be to this building. Mr. Swartz stated that the building would be set back- 0 feet from Hovley and 384 from Beacon Hill and the street widthz�vas about 100 feet, so about 200 feet to where the buildings woul a be IocatB��-Then Mountain View Villas as it continues down. Commissioner , hmidt-�sk :it was elevated at that point up toward the north. Mr. Swartz concurred '��_� � ,� Commissioner Campbell indicated ti�a� this building would - '` three feet below street level. If the tower is 42 and the elevation was down`three, it would be like 39 feet in height. Mr. Swa� '; �id that was correct. .. 4��. .��H Chairperson Tschopp noted that there is a � � � at Beacon Hill and one in front of the existing Coachella Val Wate � �trict ilding. He asked if staff planned on any other lefts.out o, project. Mr. S artz explained there would be no lefts out off of Hovley: e would only be right-ins and right- outs. There was a left-in coming from� west.with a median break at Tava Lane West. Chairperson Tschopp pointed;out,that was a real racetrack along there and police try a�d slow traffic down. He also knew that Tava Lane can be very busy with t: tc trying to get out,>and there was kind of a blind corner with the curve. His:comment was that he was happy there weren't any left- outs there, but 'ped, and wo nfirm with the applicant, that the front ` gate woul pri� ily be for visito nd not employees. He thought that would ��fmake it us}� rsection. �� ' .�_ �X � �lrtissioner Sc idt-asked if the north elevation was the main entrance. Swa � said tFi� �: 'as correct. Commissioner Schmidt noted that would aci��g` residents. Mr. Swartz said yes. � There wet'�tia i�ther questions for staff. Chairperson Tschopp �ened the �� public hearing and asked the applicant to address the Commission. �;;: �111R. MARK JOHNSON, the Director of Engineering for the Coachella ;�;��/alley Water District, stated that their district office address is Avenue �� 52 in Coachella, Califomia. He explained that they have existing � facilities in Coachella and Palm Desert. Both facilities were over f populated right now. They have employees working in trailers in Coachella and Palm Desert, so they really had a need for additional space. They were planning to relocate their administrative staff, engineering, finance, human resources, risk management and communications from their Coachella facility to the new facility. The new facility would also have a board room. They usually have two 5 MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 1. 2008 meetings a month, one would be at the new facility and one at the Coachella facility. They planned to keep their existing facilities in Palm Desert and Coachella in service. The existing facility in Palm Desert is an operations center and would continue to be an operations center. ,�. In addition to what staff presented,-Mr. John ` :<mentioned that the facility would be landscaped using�d�sert lan scaping. The parking area would have covered parking with so(ar'panef x top of the covered parking. Mr. Johnson stated that they met wittt��e neighbors ac bs�'the street and presented the facility at on�-�if��heir homeowner's association meetings and received no negative . `t=rtents from the residents. He hoped Planning Commission would rul��, orably on their project. Their architect and other sta f�v�ere als r.esent=to help answer any questions. ��,,. " � Chairperson Tschopp ask�d about tl��left-turn-in from Hovley Lane East into the main entrance. He a� ed if Mr. Johnson e�i�iisioned employees using that or if it was primarily�for visitors, Mr. JohnsoF said it was primarity for visitors. The parking in front of the facility would k��=fc�-,��visitors. They have parking in the back for � emp,� `� s. There were fi�vb entrances on Beacon Hill that would be ;�� u��I� = ployees. �.. �z$Th^` were n � h�� uestions. Chairperson Tschopp asked for any te y4in FA � 'ar�7PPOSITION to the matter. There was none and the pu 'hearing was°`�losed. Chairperson Tschopp asked for Commission commen ` � ;��n,,; . Commis ner Tanner said he reviewed the renderings and knew what ` CVWD viY'�s capable of doing, and was certain they would bring a very nice � building' to that particular corner. He said there had been some concern about�what would happen on that corner and he was in favor of saying yes ;�-- �to.this project going forward. ` `� Commissioner Campbell concurred. She didn't have a problem with the height since no one would be up there looking at the neighbors. The parking for the employees would be on Beacon Hill and they shouldn't have any problem with the traffic on Hovley Lane East. She made a motion for approval. 6 MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 1, 2008 Action: It was moved by Commissioner Campbell, seconded by Commissioner Tanner, adopting the findings as presented by staff. Chairperson Tschopp concurred with the other Commission and thought the setback would override the height from Mountain Vi�w Vit� s. There really wasn't anything looking out that way and wasn't bIQ '�g'�rfy view there. He also liked the way the traffic had been �ngineere �and,:d�dn't think there would be a problem. He called for the vote. Motion�`�rr�e��` J,O. � �� It was moved by Commissioner Carr��belly, seconded by Comi�tiss�oner Tanner, adopting Planning Commission �st�lufion No. 2471 0�> mending to City Council approval of Case Nos.

Case No. PP 07-14 - BILL LANG, App�i� ,�; Request for recommet�d�tion�t =�,he City '�ouncil for the approval of a Precise Plan a ;x dment for an extensive remodel and mi�or additis�n to an isting 76,195 square foot retail center , � a 5.15��cre site��ounded by Highway 111, Larkspur l�art�� and Et�Paseo. The remodel includes three � architectural` elements 40 feet in height. The project would include t -' following add esses: 73-547 to 73-613 Highway - 111°;45-051 Larkspur L� ��; and 73-540 to 73-580 EI Paseo. Facade ,' odeling would include the following existing ` � buildings,' °ensen's Market and adjacent shops facing Highway � ,,`��11, Thr D Bake ry facin g Larks pur Lane, and various � �shop tenants T't hree buildings that face EI Paseo located �b: �l�rectly behmd (south of) the Jensen s shopping center. Ms. Schra��'�tlistributed full-sized renderings and a material samples board. � She revi�wed the request, noting that the remodel would include three architec�iral elements 42 feet in height, not 40. She recommended that the Planning Commission approve the facade remodel as proposed. She also a noted,>that it had been brought to her attention that the applicant would like �• ��egin construction in the summer or as soon as they can. Because of the �,,:.. �is lane, there might be an opportunity for them to start construction while they were still waiting for the bus lane to be approved. Staff would work that out with them. She mentioned that because it of it being part of the conditions of approval and asked for any questions. Commissioner Limont said it was her understanding with regard to the 42- foot elevation that Architectural Review Commission (ARC) had renderings 7 MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 1. 2008 without the caps and asked if that was correct. Ms. Schrader said no and explained that the renderings distributed to the Planning Commission were the same renderings shown to ARC. There was discussion of the possibility of them not being there, but there was never a presentation made without the cupolas. There were no other questions. Chairperson Tschop` ened the public hearing and asked the applicant to address the �c�mrtT , ion. �;�: �� MR. BILL LANG, 11602 Penskir�'Way in N�h Tu=��t, sta, that they were very excited about this project. Tliey've owned the Jensen's Center since it was a Market �sket i�r' 1963. They thot�ht this was �, a valuable asset, not only to theraa,.but'°#`�the city of Palm Desert. He felt the Jensen's Center was ar��con a��?as been town center for a number of years when it was almost t��nly shopping center in the area. They wanted to give it tha appropria#e atte ion that it deserves, the opportunities that exist th��on EI Pase �, and to improve their facade on EI Paseo which is�_dir.sctly across the street from The Gardens and the f�ture deve(�5p�ent pcoposed on that street. They felt this redevelopment was necessary'in order for them to remain competitive a�d to attraet the kind of tenants they want to have there on EI Pasea:3°��askedYthat the Planning Commission to approve their project. x�. �;>, Commissi - ampbell asK� ',,here would be a truss element on Larkspur - o.unite i��e � Dog Bakery with the tobacco shop. �; , �` �° r. Lang ��id . i� �� ,; 'C ��ss�t�,ner Campbell asked what else would be done and if the�r would be calring,.fh'at an alleyway for loading or unloading. She also asked if that area would b� cleaned up. � �. Lang said yes, they've actually been doing little things now to try � . and clean it up. They recognized that it is a highly visible area. ��" : ,- �° missioner Campbell said concurred, especially for Cafe Des Beaux-Arts �A � � {'th customers sitting there on Larkspur looking down on trash and asked "�`�- again if that area would be cleaned up. Mr. Lang said yes and indicated they were doing things to disguise the back of Jensen's. The architectural elements were going across the way there. They were just starting to put in Z Pizza and they were putting signage on the back to make it look more like a retail area, not 8 MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 1. 2008 the back of a store, and they'd already begun to do that. So yes, it would be. Looking at the plan, he said there was even a different element on the ground; it wasn't just pavement, it was some type of stamped concrete or some treatment that would improve the look of that. The idea was to attract people off of EI Paseo to �ome down into the Jensen's Marketplace. �� =� Commissioner Campbell asked if the publi+��would ti` (e to.enter that area and drive all the way around behind the`buildings. '�' f�. ;�; Mr. Lang said that was correct. _.r�� . Commissioner Limont asked if the gas s ,,a :was staying. Mr. Lang said yes. � Commissioner Limont asked fo� and��Keceived clair� 'ation regarding the existing access points into the'project m Highway 111 and Larkspur and it was stated that those would remain. `��5 Commissioner Tan� ; asked how much `demolition EI Paseo would be exposed to and for. ` � t the length of time. He used the tobacco shop as an example. He noted�`that there was a brand new facade going on EI Paseo west from �t�e'.tobacco shop �e asked how much time, how much '��demolition, at�d>�ow much loss of use there would be for the tenants in those 'buildings� �;;� � �`� ��llr. Lang � yd.f� the tobacco shop, they've already talked with them , they� re�going to temporarily locate them within the center on ,�: ��.; �Paseo wh11e building a cupola above them, and all of that would be Fa �- app�priately hidden. That's the only interruption of a tenant that they anti�ipated. The other elements could be done while the tenants remained and they would build tunnels and those kinds of things. ,� Commissioner Tanner asked for confirmation that there would be no interior �� dem ition of the tobacco shop, just the exterior. �" ,,� b� t Mr. Lang said there would be some. The tobacco shop was the key ��' element to the whole project. IYs right across the street from Tommy Bahamas, it's where they would spend the most time developing that architectural detail, so they would have to remove the roof from there in order to put the element on. Commissioner Tanner asked if the tobacco shop would be two-stories. 9 MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 1. 2008 Mr. Lang said no, it would remain one-story. Commissioner Schmidt asked about control of the service station property. Mr. Lang explained that Exxon-Mobil has a lease. Commissioner Schmidt asked if they were going to try a ,incorporate it. The current request was for almost the entire block and tha�wa�s going to stick out like a sore thumb. M <�, � '� Mr. Lang stated that they desperately��d to talk with tt� m.°�xxon- Mobil has five years left on th�ir le, , they had an opti�� and they exercised their option, which w�s'th' ,,;-�:'ght. Mr. Lang said it was his intention to redevelop that site�� the e��'of that five-year term and not to release it to Exxon-Mobil. ;�r: Commissioner Schmidt asked if there�could be some kind of landscaping incorporated that might help. She felt'this would be an amazing project and then suddenly there sat Exxon. ,�� Mr. Lang explair,�ed that#or the five R`ears they wouldn't have control of it and c uldt�'t make Exxon-Mobil do anything. He didn't know if there was; mething the City c,�ould do to encourage them to improve it, but ther�was nothing he personally could do. They control the site �.� for the ne� four ar�d a half years. �;V , missioner Sc;' 'dt asked about the total duration of the construction. ; (�r.,:Lang said- ` would be telling everyone they had to get it done in >.- `hr� onths He would let their architect, Keith Palmer, talk about the � ' etlulin,g. MRa. KEITH PALMER, Bryant Palmer Soto Architects, 2601 Airport Drive in Torrance, California, stated that as far as construction goes, �' �is would normally be about a six-month construction period for any `other location. In this case, they were going to try to do it over the �' summer months and try to complete it in an astounding four months, 3�� which was part of the reason they were concerned about the scheduling of the permitting, particularly relative to the bus lane. It was critical to the tenants that they try to do all this construction during their slow time of business, rather than their busy time. He said they submitted their application in early November of last year and were finally going before the Planning Commission with the project and 10 MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 1 2008 they were quickly losing some valuable schedule time for building this summer. It's a goal of theirs, but was a challenge. Chairperson Tschopp asked about the height of the Tommy Bahamas tower element across the street. Mr. Bagato replied that it was 42 fee � nd pointed out that they were a little higher because of the grade. Mr. Lang said one of the reason��they brou� F.he�height up to 42 was because of the height of The Gardens�d�the �Paade elevation difference. `=�" Chairperson Tschopp thanked him:p There were no other` questions. Chairperson Tschopp asked if anyone wis�ed to speak in FAVOR or OPPOSITION. There was no one and Cti , . � on Tschopp closed the public hearin g and asked the Comr►��sion ft��co 'rnents. �5.. F� Commissioner Limont thought it wa ��beautiful proj�ct, well laid out, and obviously with EI Paseo beir�g remodefed, this needed to be done. Her concern was height. To the north there,.r�lfy wasn't a view. Views in Palm Desert tend to be to th�-south an+�the mount�ins are beautiful. Her concem for EI Paseo has alway5 been that it will los�its uniqueness if it's cemented in. That didn't mearr that the buildings weren't beautiful or that the architectural rend�rings didn't deservs merit, it was just that our signature tends to be our mountains for a number of people. While she was extremely p .positive on��ving forwar�!¢�ith this, she was not in favor of the height at 42 ��et. She'` erstood what�the applicant was saying as far as trying to � "' easure up�. he:� ardens, but that has always been her concern. She � w ��t't ure ho � he�.y s going to vote at this point, but it was a beautiful �� xcept for; height. ' Commissi"��" �r°Campbell also thought it was a beautiful project. She has been in ��ss on EI Paseo in retail for 20 years and when her girlfriend opened U p�r Crust Cooking Company, she worked there. She didn't have �` any pro m with the height because it was down grade from The Gardens, and hoped the building improvements would also encourage a new tenant for_t ` empty restaurant space, which has been bad for EI Paseo. She � erated that it was a beautiful project and hoped they could get started this � � � ;summer right away and have it done as soon as possible. She moved for � approval. Action: It was moved by Commissioner Campbell, seconded by Commissioner Tanner, adopting the findings as presented by staff. 11 MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 1. 2008 Commissioner Tanner also hoped they would hurry up and get it done. He said it was something that EI Paseo was heading toward and he didn't have a problem with the tower. His concern was if the entire project was 42 feet. He liked the undulation and thought it would bring attention to the north side of EI Paseo just like they have the attention on the south sid�. He wished them good luck. � �. Commissioner Schmidt commented tha�;�t was a be �tifu) roject and was sure they had worked hard on it. She ��jreed with� om: sioner Limont always regarding height. She wished ��iat they cq��d los�a few�f them�but as a designer, she looked and saw the-balance and the ne,� :T��y either have to have none or all. She said she woul�make an exceptian i. °this case mainly because the primary building heights�►ere lower and that was very smart. She wished them wel! and hopetl the project went well and that they could convince Exxon to plant a few trees. �- Chairperson Tschopp thought i#wa��'�a good project �nd long overdue. He hoped they would get it done earl�: Jt wou elp that�area immensely. As far as the tower elements, he didn't haV�any p, : er�. They do want to protect view corridors, but there viias nothing to�`pC�tect ere. The development to the immediate north wa art of this develc��ment and on Highway 111 more commercial buildings. There wouldn't be any view impediment here and it does set the proj�off, so he thougl��xit was great they were doing this and it would improve� the area. He cal�ed for the vote.
