Sun Center Retail Center
On July 13, 2005, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed project and „v
recommended approval to the City Council with a revision to Engineering Condition of
Approval No. 4_ r
There is no record that this amendment was approved by the City Council since July of a
2005. In order to expeditiously process the amendment and allow the applicant to Z
continue with the plan check process, staff has scheduled the project for City Council Z
review at this time.
m
ANALYSIS 0
The existing site area of the Planned Development District is approximately 4.72 acres
and the new site area of the Planned Development District will be approximately 4.99
acres. The proposed amendment is allowing the development of the vacant lot directly
east of the existing Planned Development and a remodel of the existing parking lot. 0
m
The existing site layout contains two main buildings with an alley between and parking C
on the outer portions facing the street. The building on the eastern half of the site is L-
shaped and has approximately 142 existing parking stalls. Pursuant to Section m
93.06.00(D)(31) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code (PSZC), the proposed addition of r
8,380 will require the addition of twenty-eight parking stalls. The applicant has provided
170 parking stalls for the eastern parking lot. However, the parking lot will not meet the 0
design standards as required by the PSZC. Pursuant to Section 93.06.00(E)(5) of the .�
PSZC, "peripheral planting areas are required every ten (10) spaces. The planters shall
have a minimum exterior width of nine (9) feet and provide at least six (6) foot minimum
planting width." In order to fulfill this requirement, the parking lot will lose eleven parking
stalls or approximately 6.4% of the 170 required. Staff believes that the shade trees are M
important to customer comfort and convenience as well as reducing surface heat Z
generation in the parking lot. Consequently, staff has included a Condition of Approval
in the Resolution requiring that the applicant conform to this requirement of the PSZC.
The proposed architecture is a modern design with various architectural elements to
compliment the existing building elevation. The color palette is made up of a
combination of five desert tones. The proposed landscaping contains desert plants and 0
trees that will enhance the peripheral and existing parking areas.

material not to be penetrated; and parking lot circulation and landscape improved to allow for multi-
directional exit and more shading for parking lot.

conveniences including retail. The proposed project is to expand the existing retail center forfuture
retail uses, therefore the proposed project is consistent with the
Access to the Sun Center Retail Center parking lot consists of an existing signalized entry on South

Case 5.0842 Pt7-77 Amendment Staff Planner: Matthew Feske
Staff Engineer: Carol Templeton
The Planned Development District expansion for the retail center includes designs such as a water
fountain, entry features, vegetation planters and other landscaping techniques that will enhance the
retail and parking lot design. The western edge of the parking lot, abutting South Palm Canyon
Drive, will be further enhanced, coinciding with the removal of existing plant material, from the
existing parking lot, to be replaced with improved plant materials. Parking lot will comply with the
required 50% parking lot shading.
The proposal will be compatible with surrounding land uses because the property is an existing
commercial property. Additionally, the retail center already exists and is similar to what was
approved in the master plan for the site and therefore, will be consistent with planned land uses in
the area.
The proposed rear service door shall not be used as an entrance and/or exit for nightclubs and/or
eating establishments.
