PDP-1/12tl CITY OF PALM DESERT STAFF REPORT To: Planning Commission Report On: Development Plan and related Parking Va.ri.ance for a 44,000 sq. ft. Restaurant Complex Applicant: HMS 'GENERAL, CORPORATION:`: Case Nos. : DP 01-78 and VAR 01-78 Date: January 31 , 1978 I. REQUEST: Request for approval of a Development Plan for a 44,000 sq. ft. restaurant complex consisting of five sit-down restaurant facilities and a related Variance to reduce the number of parking spaces from the required 660 spaces to 536 spaces on an 8.5 acre site located south of Highway 111 , east of Painters ' Path and north of 44th Avenue. II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Development Plan and related Variance for parking by Planning Commission Resolution No. 329. Justification is based upon the following: Development Plan 1 . The proposed development is consistent with the City's adopted General Plan. 2. The proposed development is consistent with the City's adopted Re- development Plan. 3. The design or improvement of the proposed development will be consistent ,with the Palm Desert Zoning Ordinance. Variance for Parking 1 . Employment of joint-use parking will compensate for a considerable amount of the deficient parking spaces. 2. Variations in the hours of operation among the proposed restaurants will assist in reducing the peak number of vehicles at the site at any given time. 3. The mandatory findings •the'Planning Commission must make when granting a Variance as specified in Sec. 25.78.070 of the Palm Desert Municipal Code are applicable to the subject case. III.

Development Plan Support Material : ® 74.133 EL PASEO/PALM DESERT, CA.92260/714-346-2272 GENERAL CORPORATION A TOTAL C EPT ORGANIZATION FOR REAL ESTATE A=RSITION PLANNING,OEWLOPMENT.MARKETING AND MANAGEMENT STATEMIMT OF OBJECTIVES The applicant and/or property owners intend to develop a "Restaurant Row" in the City of Palm Desert. The oroiect should consist of aporox- imately 44,000 sq. ft. of restaurants within 5 separate structures. Each of the restaurants will be a complete sit-down type facilitv. Each restaurant will have optional valet service, and enclosed screened service areas. There are 536 parking spaces provided which is a ratio of 12.2 spaces per 1000 sq.-Tt—. of floor area. The parking area will bi considered as cannon area and will have adequate handicap spaces The mix of restaurant types will allow an overlapping of use based upon peak hours of operation for each different facility. The ratio of parking spaces to gross square fcotape in this 'project is 12.2/1000. This reflects an ability for ioint usage and is indicative of the type of restaurants proposed. The large sit down tvpe facility proposed reflects the following general demands on parking: 1. 1 enployee for each 500 sq. ft. 2. 1 seat for each 50 sq. ft. This breaks down for a 10,000 sq. ft. restaurants as follows: 1. 20 spaces for employees 2. 200 seats ( with 1 car for each 2 seats ) 3. 120 parking spaces maximum for an overall ratio of 12/1000 The architecture of each of the buildings will be unique, yet compatible. The master developer will retain architectural Control and all materials and Colors used will be consistent with those used in the desert.

DISCUSSION: The proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance relative to the uses prescribed by the Planned Commercial Resort Zoning district. Additionally, it is apparent that the proposed restaurant facili- ties would fill a specific need within the community for such facilities. As a result, the primary issues that must be addressed pertain to traffic circulation and parking. Due to the location of the site which is bounded by Painters Path, Highway 111 and Avenue 44, traffic circulation is crucial . r Case Nos. DP 01-78 and VAR 01-78 January 31 , 1978 Page Three IV7 DISCUSSION: (Cont. ) Access to the proposed development will be provided by one entrance off of Avenue 44 and three entrances off of Painters Path. There will be no-access provided directly off of Highway 111 . This arrangement is viewed as the most desirable by the Staff. As restaurants attract high volumes of vehicular traffic and these vol- umes are highest during specific short time periods, sufficient parking necessarily becomes a primary concern with regard to projects such as the one now being reviewed. The applicant is providing 536 parking spaces which represents a 12.2sp aces/:1000 sq. ft. ratio where 660 spaces are required by the City' s Ordinance requirements which represents a 15.0 space/1000 sq. ft. ratio. The applicant believes the deficiency,. is justi- fied for the reasons outlined in the Statement of objectives contained in the background section of this report, namely that the mix of restau- rant types will allow an overlapping of use based upon peak hours of oper- ation for each of the different facilities, i .e. , some restaurants will specialize in lunches while others primarily cater to dinners. This situation is similar to the joint-use. situation experienced in shopping centers which contain movie theaters. The Staff believes that employment of joint-use parking will compensate for a considerable amount of the deficient parking spaces. Variations in the hours of operation among the proposed will assist in reducing the peak number of vehicles at the site at any given time. Further, when the original parking requirement for restaurants was developed, the national average of 12 spaces per 1+;000 sq. ft. of gross floor area was not consideved_suffi-cient for an individual free-standing restaurant. However, such a requirement was considered sufficient for restaurants in a group cluster concept particularly if said restaurants varied in terms of emphasis on lunch trade vs dinner trade. Since it was thought that most groupings of restaurants would be located in a shopping center complex which has an overall ratio or in the C-1 Zone District which has provisions for common parking reduction, no spe- cial provisions were developed for this situation. The applicant is being required to assist in paying the cost for traffic signals at Highway 111 and Avenue 44 since the proposed project will benefit greatly from such an installation. The actual location and design of the buildings, landscaping, grading etc. , will be determined through the City's Design Review process. • r P PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 329 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, ANNOUNCING FIND- INGS AND APPROVING A DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND RELATED PARKING VARIANCE ON PROPERTY LOCATED SOUTH OF HIGH- WAY 111 , EAST OF PAINTERS PATH AND NORTH OF 44TH AVENUE .

CALIFORNIA 92234 January 18, 1978 TO: City of Palm Desert 45-275 Prickly Pear Lane Palm Desert, California 92260 Project: Restaurant Complex-HMS General Corporation Environmental Impact Report Gentlemen: This is to advise that the subject property is located within the service territory of the Southern California Edison Company, and that the electric loads of the project are within parameters of projected load growth which Edison is planning to meet in this area. Unless the demand for electrical generating capacity. exceeds our estimates, and provided that there are no unexpected outages to major sources of electrical supply, we expect to meet our electrical load requirements for the next several years. Our total system demand is expected to continue to increase annually; and, if our plans to proceed with future construction of new generat- ing facilities are delayed, our ability to serve all customer loads during peak demand periods could become marginal by 1981. In addition, the major fuel used in Edison's generating facilities is low sulfur fuel oil. We now believe our low sulfur fuel oil inventory, together with our contractual commitments for delivery, and our customers' conservation efforts, will permit us to meet the forecasted demand for electricity during 1978. It is our intention to continue to do everything that can reasonably be accomplished to provide our customers with a continuous and sufficient supply i of electricity.

A meeting regarding drainage in this area was held on the site with Mr . Paul Williams from your office, Mr. Robert P. Brock of the Riverside County Road Department, and several representatives from Caltrans . A record of that meeting is attached for your convenience . A project for widening, signals , and lighting will soon be underway at this intersection. An 18" CMP is being extended onto this northwesterly corner which will carry storm runoff from this development under 44th Street and into a 24" CMP which runs easterly along the south side of 44th Street, under Route 111 and empties into the Palm Desert Flood Control Channel. Drainage from this tract should be directed to this 18" storm drain inlet. The developer should prepare a hydrology report to determine if the storm drain is adequate for the increased flow. Route 111 is a major traffic artery in this area . Portions of this road are already experiencing congestion and flooding. Future major improvements that will increase traffic and drainage capacity cannot be anticipated by this Department in the foreseeable future for a number of reasons, funding being one of the major ones . Apparently the only process left by which some control can be exercised to,maintain the highest level of service on the facility is planning of development. By proper development of vacant land and redevelopment of improved property, the value of this traffic carrier to the area can be continued and even enhanced. For example, elimina- tion of random driveways or access to each parcel along with removal of the need to park on the facility would increase its traffic carrying capacity as well as the safety. Making use of existing public roads to provide access would accomplish Page 2 ' February 15 , 1978 one of the desired effects. Making sure that the continued development of impervious surfaces does not add additional water to that already reaching the facility would accomplish another of the desired effects . Even though Site Development Plan No. DP 01-78 in itself may not cause serious consequences, it will have a cumulative effect. For this reason we offer the following comments : Driveways should not be directed onto Route 111. Access to this development should be made via Painters' Path or 44th Street. We note that the site plan does not indicate the right of way width for State Route 111. Our records indicate an existing 50' half-width at this location. Development of this property should include the normal dedication of right of way and improvement of the highway in accordance with the City Master Plan of Highways . Improvements to the highway should include curb and gutter with curb placed 38' from the centerline of the highway. We would like an opportunity to review the highway improvement plans when they become available. An encroachment permit must be obtained by the developer from the District 8 office of the State Department of Transportation prior to doing any work within the State highway right of way. It is recognized that there is considerable public concern about noise levels adjacent to heavily traveled highways . Land development, in order to be compatible with this concern, may require special noise attenuation measures . This develop- ment should include any necessary noise attenuation. This portion of Route Ill is included in the California Master Plan of State Highways Eligible for Official Scenic Highway Designation, and in the future the City may wish to have this route officially designated as a scenic highway.

Dept. , Indio 347-8511 Ext. 267 NOTES AND REMARKS Drainage Review An on-site review was held to consider drainage requirements and operating conditions affecting the roadway design for improving the intersection of Route 111 and 44th Avenue in Palm Desert. Roadwork involves widening on the north side of 44th Avenue westerly from Route 111. Comments are as follows : 1. Provide curb inlet at approximate Station 1+20 centerline 44th Avenue. Mr. Griffin believed this drainage structure can dis- charge into a transverse drain installed with the completed half-width construction of 44th Avenue. 2. No additional inlets except as noted under Item No. 1 above need be provided in the new 44th Avenue curb . 3. Maintain existing AC spillway located in the existing AC dike approximately right of Station 641+20 centerline Route 111. 4. A normal city street cro-,n should be provided on the widened portion of 44th Avenue. Mr. R. A. Barrett Page 2 March 3 , 1976 ' . Office Review - City of Palm Desert A meeting was held with Mr. Paul Williams to determine the City's plans for 44th Avenue. Mr. Williams advised : 1. The widening of 44th Avenue should conform with City Master Plan. 2. Riverside County maintains the ,.aster Plan, performs engineering, and should be the source of information for planning on 44th Avenue.. 3. Concrete curb should be provided along 44th Avenue. 4. A single 4'--wide wheelchair ramp should be installed in the northwest quadrant of the Route Ill/44th Avenue Intersection (only quadrant involved in our roadway construction) . Mr. Williams said that since sides:aiks are not generally being required in the area, wheelchair ramps need not be provided at this time in the other corners of this intersection. Mr. Williams introduced us to '`.r . Brock of the Riverside County Road Department who happened to be in the Palm Desert office. As recoW.�nded by t` . Brock, R. W, Sanderson and T. W. Brannick reviewed the Master Plan for 44th avenue in the County ' s Indio office. Master Planning for 44th Avenue westerly of Route Ill provides for an 88 ' right of way with a 64 ' curb=to-curb street width. In addition, "As-Built" plans of the completed half-width construction on 44th Avenue were reviewed in the County's office.

WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Williams noted that all written communications received would be covered under the appropriate cases. VI .

Mr. Williams reviewed the cases and noted the graphic of the development . He stated that the main concern of the staff was the parking and he explained the reasoning for the Variance request. Chair- man Berkey asked for further clarification of the reasoning behind the Variance request . Mr. Williams noted the section of the. Palm Desert Municipal Code that covered the reasoning for a variance request (see attached Exhibit A) . Chairman Berkey stated that he was concerned 1 Minutes Palm Desert Planning Commission January 31, 1978 Page Two VI . PUBLIC HEARINGS (Cont . ) A. Case Nos. DP 01-78 and VAR 01-78 (Cont . ) Item B & C. Some discussion followed with regard to the Ordinance being changed instead of asking for a Variance and the formula that - was used for determining the number of proposed parking spaces . Chairman Berkey opened the Public Hearing at this time and asked if the applicant wished to speak. STEVE FLESHMAN, 74-133 E1 Paseo, representing HMS General Corp. , addressed the Commission noting that the parking was analyzed and figured with the same formula that is used_ by restaurant developers. He noted that with the valet parking service for all restaurants and the joint usage proposal, the de- ficiency in the parking should not be a problem. There was some discussion as to the 'restaurants involved and the turn over if the restaurants were not successful . Mr. Fleshman stated that the restaurants would sign a 35 year lease and that they were all AAA national chain restaurants, if one went down the whole chain would go down . Chairman Berkey noted his reluctance to use the Variance as a way of alievating the problem and noted that perhaps there was one too many restaurants . Commissioner Reading asked if perhaps some of the landscaping could be omitted and more spaces provided that way. The Commission agreed that the concept of the proposal is very attrac- tive and will be an asset to the City especially since it will be located at an entrance to the City. Mr. Fleshman noted the revenue that the proposed "restaurant row" would generate for the City. There was further discussion as to whether Painters Path could be used for parking. Pair. iilliams stated that Painters Path was 66 ft . wide and that there could be parking on one side with no interference with the present businesses , which are day time operations. The Commission commended the applicant on the landscaping and the service area concept of the project noting that it would be an asset to the community Chairman Berkey asked if there was anyone one wishing to speak in FAVOR or in OPPOSITION to the proposed project . Being none , he declared the Public Hearing closed and asked the pleasure of the Com- mission. It was moved by Commissioner Snyder , seconded by Commissioner Reading to approve Case Nos . DP 01-78 and VAR 01-78 by Planning Com- mission Resolution No. 329. Commissioner Kelly asked that the Resolu- tion be changed to note the fact that Painters Path could be used for parking. Mr. Williams noted the following change to Resolution No . 329, under the 4th whereas, make a new subsection 3 to' read : That unique circumstances dealing with the fact that Painters Path is presently intended for day-time usage of adjacent uses that are not open at night , exist . And, make the previous subsection 3, sub- section 4. The motion was carried unanimously (5-0) . Minutes Palm Desert Design Review Board January 24, 1978 Page Two 3.

The project should consist of approx- imately 44,000 sq. ft. of restaurants within 5 separate structures. Each of the restaurants will be a complete sit-dawn type facility. Each restaurant will have optional valet service, and enclosed screened service areas. There are 536 parking spaces provided which is a ratio of 12.2 spaces per 1000 sq.--r£. of floor area. The parking area will be considered as conTnon area and will have adea_uate handicap spaces. The mix of restaurant tvpes will allow an overlapping of use based upon peak hours of operation for each different facility. The ratio of parking spaces to gross square £ootaae in this ', project is 12.2/1000. This reflects an ability for joint usage and is indicative of the type of restaurants proposed. The large sit down tvpe facility proposed reflects the following General demands on parking: 1. 1 employee for each 500 sq. ft. 2. 1 seat for each 50 sq. ft. This breaks dawn for a 10,000 sq. ft. restaurants as follows: 1. 20 spaces for employees 2. 200 seats ( with 1 car for each 2 seats ) 3. 120 parking spaces maximiun for an overall ratio of 12/1000 The architecture of each of the buildings will be unique, yet compatible. The master developer will retain architectural control and all materials and colors used will be consistent with those used in the desert. rk OFFICERS:Jens Harboe,Chairmen of the Board;Ted Smith,President;W.R.Bolmeter,Secretary-Treasurer;Stephen A.Fleshman,General Manager DIRECTORS:John Anderholt.H.Jam as Hicks,Jr.,James J.Hines,A.A.Kuri,Arthur McKay,R.Moran,Paul OPuzi,A.J.Sfingi,Sherman A.Smith,Clifford V.Swanson 45-275 PRICKLY PEAR LANE, PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA 92260 TELEPHONE (714) 346-0611 January 16, 1978 LEGAL NOTICE _ CITY OF PALM DESERT VARIANCE TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES FOR A 44,000 SQ.

That outcome of that review was that they did not seem opposed to the development of the facility without the previously indicated required hotel facility. Further they did not seem to adverse to the fact that the proposed com- plex would be short of the required parking by as much as 3 spaces per thousand. They felt that you could possibly justify this reduction of parking through a joint parking situation. If you propose to pursue this concept I would suggest that you have by the time that you file the complex, at least three of the proposed restaurants, and should be prepared to make all necessary public improvements and install the full parking lot.
