COMMITTEE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS,
CALIFORNIA, APPROVING ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW
APPLICATION, CASE 3.2864 MAJ, TO CONSTRUCT A
10,959-SQUARE-FOOT WAREHOUSE FACILITY ON AN
UNDEVELOPED PARCEL LOCATED AT 200 WEST
OASIS ROAD (APN: 669-444-012, 669-444-011), ZONE M-
1-SP.
THE ARCHITECTURE REVIEW COMMITTEE FINDS AND DETERMINES AS
FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, McGee Architects on behalf of Desert Productions, LLC (the "Applicant")
has filed a Major Architecture Review application, Case 3.2864 MAJ, in accordance with
Section 94.04.00 (Architectural Review) of the Plan Springs Zoning Code to construct a
10,959-square-foot warehouse facility on a 0.5-acre undeveloped parcel located at 200
West Oasis Road, Zone M-1-SP (College Park Specific Plan); and
WHEREAS, On March 22, 2023, the Planning Commission approved the associated
Major Development Permit, Case 3.2864 MAJ/DP in accordance with Section 94.04.01
of the Zoning Code; and
WHEREAS, on May 15, 2023, the City's Architectural Review Committee held a public
meeting in accordance with applicable law. At said meeting, the Architectural Review
Committee carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence presented in
connection with the Project, including, but not limited to, the staff report, and all written
and oral testimony presented.
THE ARCHITECTURE REVIEW COMMITTEE RESOLVES:
Section 1: Architecture Review Committee Findings.
PSZC Section 94.04.00(E) requires the approval authority to evaluate the application
and make findings for conformance to the following criteria:
1. The architectural treatment is consistent on all four sides of the proposed
building(s), unless otherwise approved by the ARC, -
Insulated metal siding and metal overhang canopies are proposed on all
four sides of the building giving it a cohesive style and appearance. Roller
doors are proposed on elevations that have vehicular access and scaled
to relate to other openings on the facade. Neutral colors are selected for
the exterior materials and the darker colors are utilized to help break down
the monotony and massing of the building.

Case No. 3.2864 MAJ/DP

2. The design of accessory structures, such as carports, cabanas, and similar
accessory structures, shall be consistent with the form, materials and
colors of the principal building(s), unless otherwise approved by the ARC;
There are no accessory structures proposed.
3. The fagade elements and fenestration are composed in a harmonious
manner;
Fenestration is mainly concentrated on the south and west elevations
which have the most exposed views from West Oasis Road. The windows
are positioned towards the top half of the building in simple pattern that is
controlled and responsive to the interior program.
4. The proposed materials are consistent with the context of the site,
adjacent buildings, and the desert environment,
The metal siding and concrete block walls are commonly used for
warehouse construction due to their durability in desert conditions. Nearby
properties utilize similar materials, and the color selection is one that is
consistent with the surrounding area.
5. The proposed color scheme is appropriate to the desert environment and
consistent with the site context;
The desert -neutral color palette includes various shades of beige and
grey, and the darker greys are used sparingly with this design.
Additionally, the planting schedule incorporates colors seen in the
desertscape.
6. Shading devices and sun control elements, excluding landscape materials,
are provided to address environmental conditions and solar orientation;
Decorative metal overhangs are placed above all windows and provide
some shading, and the landscape design includes nine (9) shade trees in
accordance with the code requirements.
7. The proposed landscape plan is consistent with the requirements of PSMC
Chapter 8.60;
The proposed planting schedule consists of plant materials that are
included in the Lush and Efficient landscape gardening book. The
Planning Commission provided additional recommendations regarding the
proposed trees species listed above. 1" crushed rock is proposed as the
Architecture Review Committee Resolution No. 1031
Case No. 3.2864 MAJ/DP
May 15, 2023
Page 3
ground coverage material and no turf will be installed. The landscape
design is consistent with the Palm Springs Water Conservation Ordinance
(PSMC Chapter 8.60) but will need the landscape plan approved by the
DWA prior to building permit submission.
8. The proposed landscape plan is consistent with all applicable zoning
requirements, including any streetscape requirements, landscape buffer
requirements, and screening requirements;
The proposed landscape plan concentrates planting material along the
south and west sides of the property. The design provides the necessary
shade and screening required for the site. The spacing of the shrubs
appears to meet the required ground coverage requirements and the use
of crushed rock and boulders create hierarchy in the design. The
landscape is consistent with the zoning requirements found in the College
Park Specific Plan.
9. The shading for pedestrian facilities on the subject site or abutting public
right(s)-of-way is adequate;
The project includes the installation of a new 5' sidewalk along the south
side of the property abutting West Oasis Road. Six (6) shade trees are to
be planted along this new sidewalk which will provide adequate shade for
pedestrians. The bike rack is also located under the canopy of a shade
tree near the location set aside for future EV charging.
10. The proposed lighting plan is consistent with the requirements of PSZC
Section 93.21.00, and the proposed lighting will not materially impact
adjacent properties;
Two different types of exterior light fixtures are proposed to be mounted to
the building. Entry points to the building will have the illumination,
providing good visibility. The lighting plan is integrated with the design of
the site and minimizes the amount of light spill/pollution to maintain dark
sky conditions and is consistent with the requirements of PSZC Section
93.21.00. The project is subject to condition of approval PLN 1, which is
intended to ensure conformance to this requirement.
11. Appropriateness of signage locations and dimensions relative to the
building fagade(s), or appropriateness of the site location for any
freestanding signage, as may be warranted for the development type;
Plans for signage have not been included with this application. All future
signage must conform to the Sign Ordinance regulations as a standard
condition of approval.
Architecture Review Committee Resolution No. 1031
Case No. 3.2864 MAJIDP
May 15, 2023
Page 4
12. Appropriateness of signage locations and dimensions relative to the
building fagade(s), or appropriateness of the site location for any
freestanding signage, as may be warranted for the development type;
Mechanical equipment for this project is concentrated along the south
elevation where the building footprint is recessed by 8' to accommodate
the placement of these units. A 6' tall CMU wall is proposed to screen the
equipment from view. The landscape design also provides another layer of
screening.
13. The proposed application is consistent with any adopted design standards
of an applicable specific plan, planned development district, or other
applicable adopted design standards and regulations.
The project is consistent with the College Park Specific Plan, Industrial
Park Area, which is identified as an area with a mix of uses. The planning
and design concepts for this area encourages highly visible buildings that
do not overwhelm the streetscape, development that encourages
commercial properties, and addresses circulation and parking
deficiencies. The proposed building is compatible in use and design with
the surrounding context and enhances the existing streetscape with an
articulated building and compatible landscape plan. Pedestrian access as
well as vehicular access are improved with the proposed design.
As demonstrated in the staff report, the Project conforms to the Architectural Guidelines
of PSZC Section 94.04.00 ("architectural review");
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the
Architecture Review Committee hereby approves Case 3.2864 MAJ, a Major
Architectural application, for the construction of a 10,959-square-foot warehouse facility
on an undeveloped parcel at 200 West Oasis Road subject to those conditions set forth
in the Exhibit A.
