Resolution No. 24730
Page 2
G. Pursuant to Section 94.04.00(D) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, the City
Council finds:
The City Council has examined the material submitted with the architectural approval
application and has examined specific aspects of the design and determined the
proposed development will (1) provide desirable environment for its occupants; (2) is
compatible with the character of adjacent and surrounding developments, and (3)
aesthetically it is of good composition, materials, textures and colors. The City
Council's evaluation is based on consideration of the following:
1. Site layout, orientation, location of structures and relationship to one another and
to open spaces and topography. Definition of pedestrian and vehicular areas; i.e.,
sidewalks as distinct from parking lot areas.
The new site configuration will consist of a larger building, new parking and landscape
areas, and enhanced building elevations. Parking will be located in front and behind
the existing building, providing staff parking and patron parking, respectively. Patrons
will access the building from a sidewalk in front of the building.
2. Harmonious relationship with existing and proposed adjoining developments and
in the context of the immediate neighborhood/community, avoiding both excessive
variety and monotonous repetition, but allowing similarity of style, if warranted;
As a simplified modern design, the building improvements will enhance the property
to a condition that is harmonious with existing adjoining developments.
3. Maximum height, area, setbacks and overall mass, as well as parts of any structure
(buildings, walls, screens, towers or signs) and effective concealment of all
mechanical equipment;
The building changes will result in minor increases to the existing building height.
Rooftop mechanical will be screened by parapet. The project complies with the
development standards of the M-1 zoning district, including height, setbacks and
mechanical screening.
4. Building design, materials and colors to be sympathetic with desert surroundings, -
The project involves stucco walls and other architectural enhancements to the
building. A trellis structure consisting of steal post and beam will be installed on the
front of the building and provide solar relief that is sympathetic with the desert
environment.
5. Harmony of materials, colors and composition of those elements of a structure,
including overhangs, roofs, and substructures which are visible simultaneously;
The building elevations will be improved with new materials and detailing. The building
walls will consist of sand finish stucco, stucco wainscot, stucco score lines, and
Resolution No. 24730
Page 3
cornice. These materials are applied in a consistent manner around the building to
provide a successful design that is simple and effective.
6. Consistency of composition and treatment;
Neutral color tones and a wainscot will wrap all sides of the building, so there is
consistency of composition and treatment.
7. Location and type of planting, with regard for desert climate conditions.
Preservation of specimen and landmark trees upon a site, with proper irrigation to
insure maintenance of all plant materials;
The project consists of drought -tolerant planting commonly used in the local desert
climate. Shade trees and shrubs/accents will be planted to enhance the user
experience on site. The project will be required to irrigate plant materials in
accordance with the City's water efficient landscaping ordinance.
8. Signs and graphics, as understood in architectural design including materials and
colors.
Signage will be evaluated under separate application.
THE CITY COUNCIL RESOLVES:
SECTION 1. That the findings and determinations reflected above are true and
correct, and are incorporated by this reference herein as the cause and foundation for the
action taken by and through this Resolution.
SECTION 2. Based upon the foregoing, the City Council hereby approves the
Project, Case 3.3904 MAJ, for the remodel/ expansion of the commercial -industrial
property for the purposes of operating a 2,278-square foot cannabis dispensary and
transportation business at 290 West San Rafael Place, subject to those conditions set
forth in the attached Exhibit A, which are to be satisfied unless otherwise specified.
