The building exhibits distinctive architectural features such as terra cotta roofs, stucco walls, arched windows and doors, balconies with French doors, decorative ironwork, exposed wood beams, and heavy use of stone and brick veneer. The Plaza is comprised of two (2)-story and single-story building segments which are painted in warm desert colors such as beige and light brown/orange. The frontage of the Plaza is staggered, and it is designed with a mix of rooflines. On October 5, 2020, the Architectural Advisory Committee (AAC) reviewed the proposed project, which included the installation of a new wall sign. At the meeting, the AAC approved the proposed signage subject to a condition that the size of the signage be adjusted for better proportion relative to the sign background. Additionally, the AAC voted 7 to O to recommend approval of the project to the City Council subject to the following conditions: 1) Sign size needs to be adjusted to keep the proportion depicted on image 5 of Sheet 6.0. 5City Council Staff Report November 12, 2020 --Page 5 Case 3.1437 MAA-Hits Studio Exterior Alterations 2) Building paint color shall be warmer and lighter variation of the existing building colors. 3) The existing window on the south elevation to be removed as proposed. 4) The existing lanterns and wall-mounted two (2) light fixtures on the primary elevation to be removed. 5) Application of the Cantera stone tiles needs to be extended further on the building. 6) Select Cantera stone tiles in a different color depending on the final paint colors. 7) Maintain the finish of the cornice as existing. An excerpt from the October 5, 2020 AAC draft meeting minutes is attached to this Staff Report (Attachment #4). STAFF ANALYSIS: Proposed Paint Color: The building wall color of the project site is currently light brown with a touch of orange hue. The color of the cornice is beige, which matches the color of the building wall in the rear. The applicant is proposing to apply a coat of Dunn-Edwards DE6171 'Sand Dollar' paint to the exterior building walls. No color change is proposed to the cornice as required by the AAC, and the finish of the entry arch detail will match the color of the cornice.

REQUEST BY CRAIG BOUMAN, ON BEHALF OF GREENSKEEPERS, LLC, FOR MINOR ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW APPROVAL TO ALTER THE EXTERIOR ELEVATIONS OF AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL BUILDING AND INSTALL A NEW WALL SIGN FOR A NEW CANNABIS DISPENSARY, HITS STUDIO, LOCATED AT 155 SOUTH PALM O'ANYON DRIVE SUITE A1 (APN: 513-143-019), ZONE CBD, SECTION 15 (CASE NO. 3.1437 MAA & CASE NO. 20-045 SI). (NK): Associate Planner Kikuchi provided a presentation. Applicant, Craig Bouman, provided brief history and background information of the project. The applicant provided information noting that the property is managed by Grit Development and the project architect is Allen Sanborn. The applicant continued that the intent of the proposed exterior alterations is to provide a modern, clean appearance to the building. Because of the location of the project, which is an end tenant space, the project will contribute to a stand-alone appearance. The proposed paint color is light tan color, and the project proposes the removal of the existing stone veneer, which makes the building appear outdated. Questions to Applicant: Vice-Chair Rotman questioned the. intent of removing the existing window on the south elevat~on. The applicant responded that the removal is requested because of the site's closeness to the adjacent pet store to the south and the future interior layout of the space. Vice-Chair Rotman asked whether the finish of the proposed Cantera stone tiles is smooth or not. The applicant responded that the finish of the tiles will be smooth. Vice-Chair Rotman also questioned the size of the tiles. The applicant responded that the size will be 16" by 16" and added that the size of the tiles can be changed to 18" by 18' or 20" by 20" if needed. Member Doczi asked whether the cannabis facility will be a dispensary or lounge. The applicant responded that it will be a cannabis dispensary only. Committee Discussion: Chair Jakway stated that enclosing the window opening on the south elevation is a good idea, especially considering the roof overhang extending from the adjacent building towards the project site. Chair Jakway added that the proposed building 21Architectural Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes -Excerpt City of Palm Springs October 5, 2020 wall paint color depicted on Sheet 6.0 of the submitted plan appears very white and a color that is "creamier" would be preferable. Chair Jakway recommend that the final paint color to be not white and at least creamy beige in color. Chair Jakway added that alterations that make the project site appear detached from the rest of the building are not desirable. Chair Jakway pointed out that that the Marcado Plaza utilizes different types of Cantera stone tiles and the proposed sign appears too large for the sign installation area. Chair Jakway concluded that the size of the proposed sign could be slightly smaller for better proportion. Member Lockyer stated that removing the existing stone veneer may contribute to the enhancement of the building fa9ade and recommended not to bring back the same amount of details to the building. Member Lockyer added that it is appropriate to bring back the Cantera stone tiles further up on the wall and wrapping around the building corner. The proposed 'Whisper Gray' paint color is acceptable; however, the color which is a shade lighter is more desirable and not the white paint as shown in the submitted plan. Member Lockyer added that the proposed sign appears too large and a reduction i.n sign size to make it between 60% and 70% of the proposed sign size is desirable. Member Walsh stated tHat he agrees with the comments provided by other members. Member Walsh added that the proposed Cantera stone tiles will simplify and clean up the Spanish Revival building fa9ade and removing some of the existing details is a good idea. Member Walsh added that the proposed paint colors appear to be out of the context considering the treatment of the entire building. Member Walsh stated that the proposed sign size does not appear to be problematic; however, a color palette that is more consistent with the existing building is desirable. Vice-Chair Rotman stated that the proposed signage depicted on Sheet 6.0 appears better than the sign design depicted on a separate sign plan sheet. Vice-Chair Rotman added that he agrees with the comments provided by Member Walsh regarding the proposed paint color. Vice-Chair Rotman stated that paint colors which are similar to the existing or slightly lighter than the existing building color is desirable. Vice-Chair Rotman stated that he is nervous about the application of the proposed 'Whisper Gray' paint. Vice-Chair Rotman concluded that the application of colors which belong to the same color family as existing would be appropriate. Member Poehlein stated that he agrees with Member Lockyer's comments regarding increasing the height of the Cantera stone tiles and the use of warmer paint colors. Member Poehlein commented that painting the cornice in the proposed 'Silver Bullet' paint color will make the cornice visually standout from other cornices; therefore, the cornice should remain as existing. Member Poehlein agreed that the proposed sign depicted on Sheet A6.0 is better in terms of scale compared to the rendering shown on the separate sign sheet. 2 22Architectural Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes -Excerpt City of Palm Springs October 5, 2020 Chair Jakway stated that he recommends the existing wall-mounted light fixtures be removed as a condition. Vice-Chair Rotman asked the applicant whether the project proposes the removal of the exiting two (2) lanterns installed on the building. The applicant responded that he wishes to remove them. Member McCoy stated that the project is proposing to install an illuminated sign, and the installation area is close to street sign_.s. Ear this reason, the existing lighting fixtures should be for decoration only should the applicant decide to keep them. Chair Jakway stated that not every tenant space is designed with the lanterns; therefore, it should not be a problem' for such fixtures to be removed and not be replaced. MOTION: Approve the proposed sign subject to the condition as stated below and recommend approval of the proposed exterior alterations to the City Council subject to the conditions of approval stated below: 1) Sign size needs to be adjusted to keep the proportion depicted on image 5 of Sheet 6.0. 2) Building paint color shall be warmer and lighter variation of the existing building colors. 3) The existing window on the south elevation to be removed as proposed. 4) The existing lanterns and wall-mounted two (2) light fixtures on the ~rimary elevation to be rernoved. 5) Application of the Cantera stone tiles needs to be extended further on the building. 6) Select Cantera stone tiles in a different color depending on the final paint colors. 7) Maintain the finish of the cornice as existing.
