STAFF REPORT
10/4/2023
TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners
FROM: Anahi Fernandez, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Citywide Wireless Telecommunication Facilities Compliance Update Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the Planning Commission receive and file the wireless telecommunications facilities compliance update and Adopt Resolution No. PC 2023-26 recommending that the City Council adopt standard conditions for wireless telecommunications facilities.

Background:

The Planning Commission, on July 05, 2023, received a status report of the approved wireless telecommunication facilities in the City of Coachella. The report summarized six (6) facilities that were identified as out of compliance with their Conditional Use Permit (CUP) conditions of approval. The report also identified options to ensure each facility is compliant with its CUP conditions of approval. The Planning Commission directed staff to continue working with the wireless providers to ensure compliance within 30 days.

Discussion/Analysis:

After the July 5, 2023 meeting, staff continued to work with the wireless providers that were found out of compliance with their CUP conditions of approval. On September 21, 2023, staff conducted a subsequent visual survey of the wireless telecommunication facilities to ensure compliance. The six (6) providers have been proactive in working towards compliance. The below wireless facilities have addressed their issues and are now compliant with their CUP conditions of approval:

1. Monopalm facility located at 51-335 Harrison Street (CUP No. 240)

2. Monopalm facility located at 51-711 Douma Street ( CUP No. 292)

3. Monopalm facilities located on Jackson Square (CUP No. 302)

4. Monoplam facility located on Jackson Square (CUP No. 317) Two (2) wireless facilities remain noncompliant with their CUP conditions of approval, and need to address lack of proper landscaping to mitigate the visual effects of the wireless telecommunication facilities. American Tower is the provider associated with the two facilities, and are still working towards compliance. American Tower is required to submit a landscaping 12 Item 2.
and irrigation plan to the Development Services Department. The provider stated the installment of the landscaping in conjunction with the chain link fence for both facilities is two (2) weeks out.

Staff is willing to continue working with American Tower to ensure compliance.

Staff drafted a list of standard conditions of approval for wireless towers in the City that can be applied to improve the quality future facilities. The standard conditions of approval for the wireless towers are available for Planning Commission review and approval. The Planning Commission at this time could elect to pursue its revocation procedures of existing Conditional Use Permits for wireless telecommunications facilities that remain out of compliance.

A summary of the compliance update for each wireless telecommunication facility is provided in Attachment 1.

ALTERNATIVES:
1) Receive and file the wireless telecommunications facilities compliance update and adopt Resolution No. PC 2023-26 recommending that the City Council adopt standard conditions for wireless telecommunications facilities.
2) Recommend revocation proceedings for Conditional Use Permits of non-compliant wireless telecommunication facilities and adopt Resolution No. PC 2023-26 recommending that the City Council adopt standard conditions for wireless telecommunications facilities. 3) Recommend revocation proceedings for Conditional Use Permits of non-compliant wireless telecommunication facilities and deny Resolution No. PC 2023-26 recommending that the City adopt standard conditions for wireless telecommunications facilities. 4) Continue this item and provide staff and the applicant with direction.

STAFF REPORT
10/4/2023
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Gabriel Perez, Development Services Director
SUBJECT: Architectural Review No. 23-12 request to modify Panda Express drive thru building architecture with the addition of red LED lighting strips to the swoop roof element design as Architectural Review No. 23-12 at 50-120 Cesar Chavez Street. The project was originally approved as Architectural Review No. 21-12 consisting of development of 2.83 acres of an 8.25-acre property to include a 2,600 sq. ft. Panda Express drive thru restaurant and a 20,442 sq. ft. Aldi supermarket at the northeast corner of Cesar Chavez Street and First Street (APN# 778-020-007 and 778-010-017) Continued from September 6, 2023.

Applicant: Panda Express, Inc.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

The applicant request that the Planning Commission approve Resolution No. PC2023-24 approving Architectural Review No. 23-12 with the findings and conditions as recommended by Staff.

BACKGROUND:

The project was originally approved as Architectural Review No. 21-12 on December 15, 2021 consisting of development of 2.83 acres of an 8.25-acre property to include a 2,600 sq. ft. Panda Express drive thru restaurant and a 20,442 sq. ft. Aldi supermarket at the northeast corner of Cesar Chavez Street and First Street (APN# 778-020-007 and 778-010-017). Aldi supermarket
construction is complete and the store is open to the public. Panda Express restaurant is near completion of construction. The applicant did not include their desired LED strip lighting on exterior elevations plans and requests that the Planning Commission approve the modification. The Planning Commission considered this item at the regular meeting of September 6, 2023 but requested that the item be continued due to questions the Commission have of the applicant regarding the proposal. The applicant cited that they were not in attendance at the September 6 28 Item 3.
meeting due to email correspondence by the Development Services Director that unintentionally identified September 13, 2023 as the public hearing date.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Panda Express Inc. requests Planning Commission approval of modifications to Panda Express drive thru building architecture with the addition of red LED lighting strips to the swoop roof element design as Architectural Review No. 23-12 at 50-120 Cesar Chavez Street. The surrounding uses are as follows:

North: Existing commercial development, America’s Tire (C-G, General Commercial).

South: Aldi Supermarket. (C-G, General Commercial).

East: Foster-Gardner agricultural products (nonconforming) industrial site (C-G, General Commercial).

West: McDonalds restaurant (C-G, General Commercial).

Site Plan
A Panda Express drive-thru restaurant is proposed at parcel 4 to the rear of the McDonalds restaurant and to the North of Aldi’s. Access is provided from the main driveway entrance from Cesar Chavez Street. Drive-thru queuing of up to 10 vehicles is provided from the rear of the building beginning with two queuing lanes with separate menu boards that converge into one queuing lane for order pick up at the drive thru window. An outdoor covered 400 sq. ft. patio dining area is proposed at the front of the Panda Express building.

Figure 1: Site Plan
29 Item 3.

Architectural Design
The overall architectural design of Panda Express incorporates modern architectural design with distinct material and color patterns for each building that differ from the original architectural conceptual design of Fountainhead Plaza as characterized by the Spanish Colonial revival appearance of the Walgreens drug store building.

The Panda Express drive thru building incorporates a new architectural prototype design with a “swinging” roof shape design. The building is framed with dark stone veneer base, light stucco and window systems at the mid-section, and iron colored metal cap and spruce colored Nichiha siding for the roof parapet. The nichia siding is also a feature of the vertical corner entry element.

An outdoor covered patio dining area is provided at the front elevation with a low stone veneer patio wall.

The proposed LED lighting strips would be directly applied to the “swinging” roof shape element and would be red in color (Figure 2). Staff requests Planning Commission review of this modification as it was not originally considered by the Planning Commission and could be classified as signage rather than an architectural feature. Staff recommends that appropriate application of the LED lighting strip would be to obscure the lighting so that it is tucked under the “swinging” element and emits a halo lighting effect that is more understated and visually appealing Figure 2: Proposed LED Lighting strip evening perspective Landscape Design
The plant palette includes a variety of trees including “Chilean Mesquite” “Desert Willow/Amethyst” and “Thornless Palo Verde” within the perimeter plantings and interior parking lot planters. The planters will include water-efficient plantings including “Red Bird of Paradise”, “Bush Morning Glory”, “Toothless Desert Spoon”, “Mexican Evening Primrose”, and Agave “Century Plant” succulents. Decorative Gravel (3/4”) is proposed to be consistent with gravel in landscape areas for Aldi Supermarket and Starbucks. Decorative lighting is proposed in landscape areas to illuminate trees.
30 Item 3.

WHEREAS, the proposed change could not adversely affect the general health, safety and welfare of the community.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Coachella, California hereby resolve as follows:

Section 1. Incorporation of Recitals
The City Council hereby finds that all of the facts in the Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated and adopted as findings of the City Council as fully set forth in this resolution.

Section 2. CEQA Findings
Based upon its review of the entire record, including the Staff Report, any public comments or testimony presented to the City Council and the facts outlined below, the City Council hereby finds and determines that the proposed project will not result in any new environmental effects that were not previously analyzed as part of the original project under Environmental Initial Study 07-16 on May 7, 2008 for Fountainhead Plaza for all phases of the project.

Section 3. Conditional Use Permit and Architectural Review Findings With respect to the modifications to Conditional Use Permit 321 and Architectural Review 21-03, the City Council finds as follows for the proposed for the 2,028 sq. ft. drivethru coffee shop:

1. The proposed use will not be in conflict with, but will be in harmony with and in accordance with the objectives of the Coachella General Plan 2035, except as recognized that the project has vested rights as to the number of drive-thru restaurants and service stations previously vested under CUP No. 233 and AR No. 07-20. Staff requested direction from the Planning Commission at the June 3, 2015, Planning Commission hearing through a policy discussion item on the agenda. The site has a Downtown Center land use designation that allows for a range of retail uses. The proposed uses on the site are in keeping with the policies of the Downtown Center land use classification and the Project is internally consistent with other General Plan policies for this type of development.

2. The proposed uses will be located, designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be compatible with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and shall not change the essential character of the same area. The proposed project is in compliance with the applicable development standards of the City’s Zoning Code. The applicant proposes to amend the approved site plan by eliminating two tenant spaces (4,500 sq. ft). of a multi-tenant retail building and instead retain a 2,028 sq. ft. drive-thru Coffee Shop and a 12-fueling position Canopy for Service Station and a 3,010 sq. ft. mini-market with alcohol sales and 24 hour operations on 3.1 acres of vacant land, in accordance with section 17.74.010 of the Coachella Municipal Code.
59 Item 3.

Resolution No. 2022-10

Page 3 ends

3. Consideration is given to harmony in scale, bulk, coverage and density, to the availability of public facilities and utilities, to harmful effect, if any, upon desirable neighborhood character, to the generation of traffic and the capacity of surrounding streets, and to any other relevant impact of the development. The proposed development consists of an amended site plan and architectural elevations that proposes to eliminate two tenant spaces 4,500 sq. ft). of a multi-tenant retail building and instead retain a 2,028 sq. ft. drive-thru Coffee Shop and a 12-fueling position Canopy for Service Station and a 3,010 sq. ft. mini - market with alcohol sales and 24 hour operations on 3.1 acres of vacant land, in accordance with section 17.74.010 of the Coachella Municipal Code. The proposal which will provide City residents and regional residents with an alternative food service and an additional service station with a convenience store which will provide convenience to motorist within the region.

The proposed use is compatible with existing adjacent uses, which include similar land uses and large commercial development sites.

4. Where the proposed use may be potentially hazardous or disturbing to existing or reasonably expected neighboring uses, it must be justified by the common public interest as a benefit to the community as a whole. The proposed development will be compatible with the neighboring properties with respect to land development patterns and application of architectural treatments. The plans submitted for this project propose a building with similar architectural features to the adjoining existing architectural theme of the commercial center as well as adjoining commercial development within the immediate vicinity of the proposed site. The surrounding properties to the south and to the east are vacant and can provide for similar commercial development. As such, the proposed buildings will be in keeping with the scale, massing, and aesthetic appeal of the existing neighborhood and future development.

5. The proposed use will include three new vehicular approaches to the property designed to improve off-site and on-site vehicular circulation for existing traffic on surrounding public streets or roads. Evidence of this is reflected in the provided site plan design. The three new proposed drive isles and internal circulation have been reviewed and approved by the Fire Department and the Engineering Department.

Section 4. City Council Approval
Based on the foregoing recitals and findings above, and the written and oral comments, facts and evidence presented, the City of Coachella City Council approves modification to Conditional Use Permit 321 Architectural Review 20-03 for the Fountainhead Plaza Phase II development and subject to the Conditions of Approval as set forth in Resolution No. 2020-55 and as modified by the Conditions of Approval as set forth in Exhibit A”

WHEREAS the conditions as stipulated by the City are necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare of the community.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission of the City of Coachella, California hereby resolve as follows:

Section 1. Incorporation of Recitals
64 Item 3.

Resolution PC2021-25

Page 2 ends

The Planning Commission hereby finds that all of the facts in the Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated and adopted as findings of the Planning Commission as fully set forth in this resolution.

Section 3. Conditional Use Permit (CUP 346) and Architectural Review Findings With respect to Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 346 and Architectural Review 21-12, the Planning Commission finds as follows for the proposed for the 2,600 sq. ft. drive-thru restaurant and the 20,422 sq. ft. supermarket:

1. The Conditional Use Permit and Architectural Review is consistent with the goals, objectives, policies, and implementation measures of the Coachella General Plan 2035, except as recognized that the project has vested rights to the development of drive-thru restaurants and service stations previously vested under CUP No. 233 and AR No. 07-20. Staff requested direction from the Planning Commission at the June 3, 2015, Planning Commission hearing through a policy discussion item on the agenda. The Commission did find that the proposed drive-thru and service station are in harmony with the immediate vicinity of the proposed site and indicated that any future proposed development on the vacant portion of the site must be in strict compliance with the newly adopted City of Coachella General Plan 2035. The site has a Downtown Center land use designation that allows for a range of retail uses. The proposed uses on the site are in keeping with the policies of the Downtown Center land use classification and the Project is internally consistent with other General Plan policies for this type of development.

2. The proposed uses will be located, designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be compatible with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and shall not change the essential character of the same area. The proposed project is in compliance with the applicable development standards for the C-G (General Commercial) Zoning District of the City's Zoning Code. The site plan proposes the construction and operation of a development consisting of a 2,600 sq. ft. drive-thru restaurant and 20,422 sq. ft. supermarket, on 2.85 acres of vacant land of a 5.9 acre site within Tentative Parcel Map 37940, in accordance with section 17.74.010 of the Coachella Municipal Code. The drive-thru restaurant can accommodate 10 vehicles in drive-thru lane and satisfies the City’s minimum stacking requirement of 8 vehicles.

Resolution No. PC2021-25

development standards for the C-G (General Commercial) Zoning District of the City's Zoning Code. The proposed development consists a 2,600 sq. ft. drive-thru restaurant and 20,422 sq. ft. supermarket, on 2.85 acres of vacant land of a 5.9 acre site which will provide City residents and regional residents with an alternative dining choice and an additional service station with a convenience store which will provide convenience to motorist within the region. The proposed use is compatible with existing adjacent uses which include similar land uses and large commercial development sites.

5. The proposed use will include three new vehicular approaches to the property designed to improve off-site and on-site vehicular circulation for existing traffic on surrounding public streets or roads. Evidence of this is reflected in the provided site plan design. The three new proposed drive aisles and internal circulation have been reviewed and approved by the Fire Department and the Engineering Department.

Section 4. Conditional Use Permit Findings – CUP 347
With respect to Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 347, the Planning Commission finds as follows for the proposed for Type 20 Off-Sale Beer and Wine at the 20,442 sq. ft. supermarket:

1. The Conditional Use Permit is consistent with the goals, objectives, policies, and implementation measures of the Coachella General Plan 2035, except as recognized that the project has vested rights to the development of drive-thru restaurants and service stations previously vested under CUP No. 233 and AR No. 07-20. Staff requested direction from the Planning Commission at the June 3, 2015, Planning Commission hearing through a policy discussion item on the agenda. The Commission did find that the proposed drive-thru and service station are in harmony with the immediate vicinity of the proposed site and indicated that any future proposed development on the vacant portion of the site must be in strict compliance with the newly adopted City of Coachella General Plan 2035. The site has an Downtown Center land use designation that allows for a range of retail uses. The proposed uses on the site are in keeping with the policies of the Downtown Center land use classification and the Project is internally consistent with other General Plan policies for this type of development.

2. The proposed uses will be located, designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be compatible with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and shall not change the essential character of the same area. The proposed project is in compliance with the applicable development standards for the C-G (General Commercial) Zoning District of the City's Zoning Code. The site plan proposes the construction and operation of a development consisting of a 2,600 sq. ft. drive-thru restaurant and 20,422 sq. ft. supermarket, on 2.85 acres of vacant land of a 5.9 acre site within Tentative Parcel Map 37940, in accordance with section 17.74.010 of the Coachella Municipal Code.

3. Consideration is given to harmony in scale, bulk, coverage and density, to the availability of 66 Item 3.

Resolution PC2021-25

public facilities and utilities, to harmful effect, if any, upon desirable neighborhood character, to the generation of traffic and the capacity of surrounding streets, and to any other relevant impact of the development. The proposed project is in compliance with the applicable development standards for the C-G (General Commercial) Zoning District of the City's Zoning Code. The proposed development consists a 2,600 sq. ft. drive-thru restaurant and 20,422 sq. ft. supermarket, on 2.85 acres of vacant land of a 5.9 acre site which will provide City residents and regional residents with an alternative dining choice and an additional service station with a convenience store which will provide convenience to motorist within the region. The proposed use is compatible with existing adjacent uses which include similar land uses and large commercial development sites.

5. The proposed use will include three new vehicular approaches to the property designed to improve off-site and on-site vehicular circulation for existing traffic on surrounding public streets or roads. Evidence of this is reflected in the provided site plan design. The three new proposed drive aisles and internal circulation have been reviewed and approved by the Fire Department and the Engineering Department.

6. Although the Aldi supermarket Type 20 Off-Sale Beer and Wine establishment does fall within seven hundred (700) feet, measured from property line to property line, of a use for religious worship (Centro Catolico Martin Ortiz), and residential use, the benefit of the supermarket outweighs the distance restrictions and the public convenience or necessity is justified to issue the off-sale beer and wine license as the supermarket will offer a wide selection of food products, will increase the availability of fresh produce to Coachella residents and provide goods at a location within walking distance from surrounding neighborhoods in keeping with the walkable character promoted by the Downtown Center land use designation for the Coachella General Plan 2035.

7. Although the Aldi supermarket Type 20 Off-Sale Beer and Wine establishment does fall within seven hundred (700) feet, measured from property line to property line, of an existing liquor, off-sale use (Walgreens, 99 Cent Store, and Cardenas market) the benefit of the supermarket outweighs the distance restrictions and the public convenience or necessity is justified to issue the off-sale beer and wine license as the supermarket will offer a wide selection of food products, will increase the availability of fresh produce to Coachella residents and provide goods at a location within walking distance to the immediate neighborhood not provided by another existing establishment in keeping with the walkable character promoted by the Downtown Center land use designation for the Coachella General Plan 2035. A condition of approval for CUP 347 requires that not greater than five percent of the sales floor area or one thousand (1,000) square feet, whichever is less, shall be used for the display or sale of alcoholic beverages.

8. The supermarket Type 20 Off-Sale Beer and Wine establishment at the location will not adversely affect the economic welfare of the nearby community, but rather would expand the availability of jobs by a major anchor tenant and would serve as a catalyst to the 67 Item 3.

Resolution No. PC2021-25

development of the other vacant retail pads within the commercial center which would alos provide jobs and increase the City’s sales tax revenues.

9. The exterior appearance of the structure of the proposed establishment will not be inconsistent with the exterior appearance of commercial structures already constructed or under construction within the immediate neighborhood so as to cause blight or deterioration, or substantially diminish or impair the property values within the neighborhood insofar that the architectural design of the building is modified as conditioned inclusive of architectural enhancements to the front elevations and extending parapet walls above the height of rooftop mechanical equipment for screening purposes.
