Case No. PP 04-25 - PEGGY AMES AND RANDY WEIRNER, Applicants r Request for approval of a precise plan of design to allow the construction of a 9,180 square foot office/warehouse building located at 77-621 Spyder Circle. Mr. Bagato reviewed the major points of the staff report and recommended approval. Commissioner Campbell asked if the apartment would be for the owner or a manager. Mr. Bagato thought it would be for a caretaker. He noted that it was a permitted use within the S.I. zone and suggested that the applicant answer the question about the tenant. Chairperson Jonathan noted that the renderings indicate the name State Farm Insurance and he was a little concerned about the use. There appeared to be an office, warehouse and an apartment and he questioned how those three would work functionally. Mr. Bagato explained that the majority of the bottom floor was State Farm, which would be used by the applicant, Peggy Ames. It was her business. The other portion of the building south of the garage would be leased out to more of a 7 MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 16, 2004 warehouse-type user, and then there was an office adjacent to the apartment. The applicant provided the appropriate parking for each demand. Chairperson Jonathan asked for confirmation that this would not be an insurance auto repair facility. Mr. Bagato didn't think so, but didn't know if there was a tenant at this time. Commissioner Tschopp assumed that the south side would face into the development and the west side would face another building. He asked if that was why they were so plain. Mr. Bagato stated that on the west side, that was currently a vacant parcel and when that property developed it would be required to build up against this building, so there wouldn't be a big, blank building. For the south side, there was a 25-foot setback and it would be visible from the street. Commissioner Tschopp asked if it would be visible to the inside of the project only. Mr. Bagato said it would be visible from 35th Avenue. Chairperson Jonathan asked if it would border the street. Mr. Bagato clarified that there would be 25-feet to the rear property line, and then maybe 12 to 18 feet to 35th. There would be landscaping in between, but to the south would be a road, 35th Avenue. Chairperson Jonathan noted that it was bounded by Spyder Circle to the north and 35th to the south. Mr. Bagato concurred. He confirmed that the south elevation would be visible. Commissioner Finerty noted that the commission wasn't provided with the minutes from ARC and asked what they thought about it. Mr. Bagato apologized for not including them. He said ARC wanted more detail mainly to the north elevation and that was where the idea for the wood trellis came up, or actually using stone because there was some discussion of not allowing wood in the CC&R's. But wood could be allowed according to the project developer, Tom Noble. Commissioner Finerty said she understood the west elevation would be up against another building and that this would be in the Service Industrial zone, but the south elevation wasn't typical of what they would expect in Palm Desert. 8 MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 16, 2004 Commissioner Tschopp said he was having a hard time visualizing how 35th would come around. He asked if there was a location map showing 35th. Mr. Drell noted that the legal notice showed Gerald Ford, not 35th. After questioning by Commissioner Lopez, Mr. Drell advised them to disregard the vicinity map, which wasn't to scale. Mr. Bagato said it would be directly to the south of the lot with a landscaping separation. Chairperson Jonathan indicated that while driving around there, it appeared that 35th would sit substantially higher. Mr. Bagato thought it would be at least five or six feet according to conversations with Public Works. Commissioner Lopez asked Mr. Bagato to convey the comments by the architectural review commission again. Mr. Bagato said they wanted a little more detail. This building was basically borderline and that with the discussion of adding some wooden trellises to incorporate into the Santa Fe design and adding an additional color, it would be acceptable. %W Chairperson Jonathan asked if they had any discussion about the south elevation specifically and if they were aware that elevation would face the street. Mr. Bagato said that discussion didn't come up. Chairperson Jonathan opened the public hearing and asked the applicant to address the commission. MR. ROBERT H. RICCIARDI, the architect for the applicant, 75- 090 St. Charles Place, Suite A in Palm Desert, addressed the commission. He informed commission that Peggy Ames currently has a building on Fred Waring and she loves the desert southwest, so they tried to keep it that theme, even though it was in the industrial zone that was originally created by the County and inherited by the City. Therefore, the City inherited the County conditions of the approval of the maps and everything that goes with it. He said they met all City ordinances. He showed on a map the location of 35th, said Gerald Ford exists, Dinah Shore was being built, and pointed out the location of the proposed project. He said �. 9 MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 16, 2004 ..ri the City would put in the street some day, so it could put it in any way it wants and has control over it rather than just following the section line. The point was that the back of the property would then have 12 to 18 feet of landscaping that would be put in by the City. So the City could control the landscaping and put in big trees. What they would have in this development would be small lots. They were only 25 by 159 and it was pretty much a typical industrial lot seen in Palm Desert. He said they kept the setbacks, kept it flexible for the user, so if they got a user in the back that needed a tall barn, they had that ability. In trying to keep it desert southwest, he thought they came up with a nice little architecture that isn't seen in the industrial zone. The architectural review board wanted to see a little more work on Spyder Circle, so they added a wood trellis in front of the building. But the applicant also asked for another one. They were trying to make it as nice as possible. Mr. Ricciardi informed commission that the apartment upstairs was for the applicant. It wasn't going to be rented out to someone NMI else. They would be living upstairs most of the time. They have a home in Yucca Valley, but when they didn't want to make the drive, they could stay in the desert and be upstairs in their apartment. It was a building being created for Peggy Ames in the style of architecture that she likes. The only other thing the architectural review board asked for was the wall south of the garage door to be a lighter color, so they made the wall on the side facing Spyder a lighter color. He said the nature with small lots was to have a building and a driveway flip flop flip flop, because that's all they could do in that area. They couldn't get two driveways in because there wouldn't be any building left. They were trying to create something that was neat, novel and different. It wasn't a typical industrial building whatsoever. He hoped that the commission would see that the Ames were trying to do something very nice here. He said they also did a very nice job landscaping it and would be using big trees up front and a lot of nice, big trees. He thought it would be a really { I 10 .ri MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 16 2004 r.. cute industrial building. He said they were also spending more money in trying to create this type of architecture. Commissioner Tschopp asked if the applicant planned to move the current Monterey insurance building to this location and asked how many feet they currently had. MS. PEGGY AMES, 72-925 Fred Waring Drive, Suite 101 in Palm Desert, addressed the commission. She said they currently have 1 ,100 square feet. The building she was currently in was 7,500 square feet and the business has outgrown the current space. They would occupy about 3,000 square feet in the new location. Parking was a problem for them currently, so they needed to move to something bigger and nicer and that was their plan. Commissioner Tschopp inquired about them having the warehouse portion rented out to a warehouse user. `.. She said that was correct. Their goal was to try to find someone who is nice and clean and neat. She didn't want greasy, dirty trucks driving all over her clean concrete driveway. They were going to occupy the living space upstairs for those times they wanted to stay down the hill. They live in Yucca Valley, so she commutes every day and sometimes didn't want to drive that far. So their goal was to stay there in the evenings and they would have one small office type suite available upstairs, about 1 ,000 square feet. She hoped they would find an accountant type person to put in there. They have two or three potential people they were talking with to occupy the back part of the building. One of them happened to be a lighting contractor. She hoped they could get that type of tenant in the back part of the building. Chairperson Jonathan asked if the warehouse user would need offices. Ms. Ames suspected they would have a small amount. They have allotted about 400 or 500 feet of the office use for that occupant. She confirmed it was allocated as part of the approved office space. �` 1 1 MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 16, 2004 Chairperson Jonathan thought the south elevation could be spiced up without a lot of expense, as they did on the rest of the building with a couple of wood trellises and maybe some false windows, that kind of a thing. Ms. Ames concurred. She said they would have liked to originally have planned that in, but they were told by the other architectural committee that they weren't allowed to have anything up in the nature of wood, so they were happy to be able to add that. They liked the idea of having a little more to it instead of having it so plain. She said that was why they put in two trellises instead of one. They could put in three. Chairperson Jonathan said the Planning Commission was disadvantaged because they didn't have the ARC minutes. He thought they might suggest that she work with staff and/or ARC to formally spice up that south elevation to everyone's satisfaction, without going overboard. He commended them. He thought Mr. Ricciardi did a fine job and created a ' very interesting, nice quality for the use. He didn't mean to belittle that part of it. Ms. Ames said they wanted something that had a little nice architectural eye appeal to it. She liked the southwest look as evidenced by the building she has been in for 13 years. She was happy and proud to say that they had done a nice addition and started a lot of the growth on Fred Waring when they built that building 13 years ago. It had served them well; they were just out of space. Commissioner Finerty stated that she thought the north and the east elevations looked great, but something was lost on the south. She heard Mr. Ricciardi say that when the City puts in 35th, then the City could put in tall trees, 12 to 18 feet, and pointed out that it wasn't incumbent upon the City to put in trees to hide a less than desirable elevation. So she'was pleased to know that Ms. Ames was willing to work with them. Ms. Ames agreed and said she thought they were also putting in a a six-foot wall back there. There were eight or nine property 12 MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 16, 2004 owners there working on that and it would be nicely done and would be put behind the adjoining lots so they had something that looked the same and very nice. She said they were working with Tom Noble on that. They were happy to make it look lovely. They wanted to make it look professional and inviting. Mr. Ricciardi said that if they could receive approval from the Planning Commission to go on to working drawings, they could come back with working drawings and get them approved through ARC and put in some windows in the back. Chairperson Jonathan said it wasn't his intention to have them go through a lot of process and have to come back. He was satisfied that if they formally deal with ARC and/or staff, that would meet his objective. Chairperson Jonathan asked if anyone wished to address the commission in FAVOR or OPPOSITION to the proposed project. There was no one and �., the public hearing was closed. He requested commission comments. Commissioner Lopez concurred with what had been expressed regarding the street, working with staff on the south elevation, he would move for approval with the condition that staff work with the applicant on the south elevation--staff and the architects. Chairperson Jonathan asked for a second. Commissioner Campbell seconded the motion. Commissioner Tschopp noted that if the rest of the service industrial area builds out like this, there will be very top notch developments there. Chairperson Jonathan concurred and hoped this would set the standard. He complimented Mr. Ricciardi and the applicant for helping the City do that and called for the vote. Action: It was moved by Commissioner Lopez, seconded by Commissioner Campbell, approving the findings as presented by staff. Motion carried 5-0. �`"" 13 MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 16, 2004 It was moved by Commissioner Lopez, seconded by Commissioner Campbell, adopting Planning Commission Resolution No. 2308, approving PP 04-25, subject to conditions.

Mr. Drell stated that the commission had the staff report before them and Mr. Urbina was present if they had any questions. Chairperson Jonathan noted that the request was for a parcel map to subdivide the property. Mr. Drell explained that the commission had already approved the precise plan. Chairperson Jonathan asked for and received clarification that the commission's approval included elevations. Mr. Drell also said that an assessment district was being formed which would develop all these roads and install all the infrastructure at once; hopefully by the end of 2006. Chairperson Jonathan opened the public hearing and asked the applicant to address the commission. MR. JOHN SOLMAN with the Pres Companies at 1201 Dove Street, Suite 100 in Newport Beach, addressed the commission. He said they worked with Mr. Urbina and believed they supplied everything required to subdivide this parcel. There were no questions for the applicant.

Mr. Bagato reviewed the highlights of the staff report and recommended approval. Chairperson Jonathan opened the public hearing and asked the applicant to address the commission. There was no response. Chairperson Jonathan asked if anyone wished to speak in FAVOR or OPPOSITION. MR. BRAD CHUCK, 44-750 Santa Ynez, addressed the commission. He said his home is two doors down from the lot split. He had a couple of questions. He asked if someone could give him a description of medium density. He asked if there would be single family homes there, or an apartment/dual family use. He �" 15 MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 16, 2004 also asked if prior to approval of the lot if the existing house would be brought up to code. Mr. Drell explained that the zone wasn't being changed, so it was still single family with only one single family home allowed on the resulting lot. Chairperson Jonathan noted that there would be a total of two. Mr. Drell concurred; the newly created lot would only have one home on it. He said that Mr. Chuck was referring to the fact that the existing home has been in a stage of renovation for about two years. The house got done, but the landscaping stalled. Public Works Condition No. 4 requires that the landscaping of the existing house be brought up to standard/be completed prior to the recordation of this map. The map couldn't be implemented until the relandscaping of the existing house was completed. It would be up to the owner and the prospective developer of the home to work that out. He pointed out that this was an opportunity to correct a past problem. Chairperson Jonathan asked if that answered Mr. Chuck's question. j He concurred and thanked them. Chairperson Jonathan closed the public hearing and asked the commission for comments.
