Resolution No. 10415 : Request for Conditional Use Permit and Planning R... Page 240 of 1555 11 that the transformation of the Corridor will likely take significant time and to balance the Corridor’s transformation with the economic development needs and interests of the City and private property rights. In addition, the subject property proposed for the proposed Indio Gas Station Urban Plaza Project is currently vacant and undeveloped.
The Project will re-introduce land use activity to the subject and will create employment and property tax revenue that is not currently present resulting from the undeveloped nature of the property.
15.Regarding Section 6.04.04.F.4, the Indio Gas Station Urban Plaza Project complies or can be made to comply with a substantial majority of the applicable design and development standards specified in the Specific Plan. Section 3.3 (Glossary) of the Specific Plan defines a limited use as a development that provides neighborhood serving amenities (including job-creation) along the corridor, but that does not meet all of the form-based standards of the MU-C Zone and may be considered an impermanent use of the land until it is redeveloped to its highest allowed density.
Section 3.14.1 (Limited Uses in the MU-C Zone – Intent) of the Specific Plan states that in order to enable market forces to attract near-term reinvestment to the MixedUse Corridor Zone - while also ensuring that over time the vision for that Zone is realized - this Section provides standards and processes whereby limited quantities of lower intensity, more automobile-oriented projects that positively contribute to the economic development and quality of life within a Subarea - defined herein as “Limited Uses” - may be approved in the Mixed-Use Corridor Zone through the Administrative Use Permit (AUP) or Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process. This Section further states that accordingly, four specific categories of Limited Uses are defined in this Section, including adaptive reuse of existing 1 and 2-story commercial and office buildings, development of limited quantities of new buildings of those types, and development of blocks with lower Frontage Buildout percentages and larger quantities of street-adjacent surface parking that otherwise allowed. Therefore, the project is generally compliant or will be compliant with the application of conditions of approval and in those instances where the project is not compliant, there is a reasonable basis for the City Council to make a finding that this lack of compliance does not result in the project not being approvable.
16.Regarding Section 6.04.04.F.5, the Indio Gas Station Urban Plaza Project is generally compatible with the design, location, size and operating characteristics of existing and reasonably foreseeable future land uses in the vicinity. The project site is located in a largely built out area at the outer edge of the boundaries of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan that is currently dominated by auto-oriented land uses including but not limited to mini-storage, auto repair, personal service and office uses. These land uses are primarily located in an established buildings and sites that are not currently planned for significant revitalization or redevelopment. The Indio Gas Station Urban Plaza Project is generally consistent with the existing surrounding land uses and will not cause significant impacts to the operations of these land uses that would be considered excessive in nature.
Resolution No. 10415 : Request for Conditional Use Permit and Planning R... Page 241 of 1555 12 17. Regarding Section 6.04.04.F.6, the project site for the Indio Gas Station Urban Plaza Project is an irregularly shaped parcel of land. The project can be accessed via Indio Boulevard and/or Flower Street subject to compliance with applicable City of Indio driveway access requirements, is served or can be served by public and private utilities and would not create excessive land use intensity that would be out of character with the existing surrounding commercial oriented land uses.
18.Pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Specific Plan, the standards of this this section shall apply to any parcel within the Master Planned Design Overlay in Figure 3.4-1, or for any proposed development greater than 4 acres in size. No new subdivision, building, street or other improvement shall be approved on such a parcel without a Planning Review (PR) Permit and an approved Master Planned Development (MPD) Permit, based on a determination of consistency with these standards. The project site is 0.87 of an acre in size and therefore, this Section is not applicable to the proposed project.
19.Pursuant to Section 3.6.A.2.a, all new development must complete and/or support— and in no way impede—the required connections and intersections which appear in their subarea. The project site is located in Subarea 25. Figure 3.6-1 does not identify required and/or recommended connections through the project site. Pursuant to Section 3.6.B.1.b, required connections form links through and between subareas and are required to be multi-modal streets with vehicular access and shall be further be designed as Avenues (per Section 3.7.B.4.a) or Neighborhood Streets (per Section
3.7.B.4.c). Pursuant to Section 3.6.B.1.d, recommended connections are included as suggested ways to meet the Block Standards of Section 3.6.C, but their quantity and placement is flexible. Recommendations for how some of these connections can be implemented are included in Table 3.6-2. However, because the Specific Plan does not specify required or recommended connections through any portion of the project site, this Section is not applicable to the proposed project.
20.Pursuant to Section 3.6.C.1/Table 3.6.3 (Maximum Block Size), the maximum block perimeter for the Mixed-Use Corridor zone is 1,600 feet. Pursuant to Section
3.6.C.2.a, per Table 3.6-1, all blocks shall be defined—or in other words: bound at their perimeter—by one or more of the following types of public connections or open spaces: Street, Carless Street, Plaza/Green, Neighborhood Park, or Mini Park.
Pursuant to Section 3.6.C.2.a.i, a block may be bound on no more than one (1) side by a Carless Street, Plaza/Green, Neighborhood Park, or Mini Park. Pursuant to Section 3.6.C.2.b, types which define a block shall be public and shall not be private or semi-public. Pursuant to Section 3.6.C.2.b.i, “Public” means those spaces and connections which are publicly accessible—providing public right-of-way—regardless of ownership. The project site is located on an existing parcel of land that measures approximately 345.21 lineal feet wide along the site’s northern (Indio Boulevard) perimeter, 169.54 lineal feet long along the site’s western (Flower Street) perimeter and 348.00 lineal feet along the site’s southern perimeter. As a result of the project site’s limited size and associated dimensions, it complies with this Section.
Resolution No. 10415 : Request for Conditional Use Permit and Planning R... Page 242 of 1555 13 21.Section 3.7 (Public Realm Standards) specifies standards for the public realm areas of the Highway 111 Corridor. The project site is comprised of private property that is located along an existing built portion of Highway 111 that is not located along Highway 111, but that is within the boundaries of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. The applicant is not proposing nor is being required to make any substantive public realm improvements that would create a legal nexus for compliance to one or more standards in this Section. Therefore, this Section is not applicable to the proposed project.
22.Section 3.8 (Building Placement and Access) and more specifically Section 3.8.B.1 specifies standards to ensure that proposed development within the Specific Plan area promotes a pedestrian-friendly environment along the street by placing buildings at the front of the site and locating parking at the center or the back of the site. Table
3.8-1 (Building Placement) specifies building placement standards that are applicable to properties that are located within the Mixed-Use Corridor regulatory zone. This Table specifies that for non-Highway 111 fronting properties, the front street build to range should be 0 feet to 10 feet, that the front street build out should be 100 percent, that there is no side street build to range, that the side street build out should be 80 percent for the first 40 feet with no buildout requirement after 40 feet, that the building length should be a maximum of 300 feet, and that there are no building setback requirements except for a 10-foot separation between multiple buildings on a single lot. Section 3.14 (Limited Land Uses in the MU-C Zone) and more specifically Section
3.14.A.3.1.c.iv specifies that the Frontage Buildout requirements listed in Table 3.8-1 may be waived for provided buildings are in conformance with the requirements of the rest of this Section. The proposed convenience market building immediately abuts and is parallel to Flower Street while the proposed fuel canopy island is parallel to Indio Boulevard and is setback 12 feet/7 inches from the Indio Boulevard property line. The convenience market and the fuel island canopy both comply with the 100 percent front street build-out. Flower Street is an adjacent side street with the convenience market fronting directly along this Street. The convenience market building is approximately 80 feet long and complies with the maximum building length standard. The building separation between the convenience market building and the fuel island canopy structure is 30 feet/6 inches.
23.Section 3.8.B.2 specifies standards for Public Realm Extensions into project sites.
The submitted site plan specifies interior striped pedestrian connections. Section
3.8.B.2.f specifies the following standards applicable to this connection:
i. Public Realm Extensions shall connect directly to the public sidewalk. Any necessary steps, ramps, and/or elevators to connect them shall be easy to locate and comfortable to use. Apart from steps and ramps, surfaces used by pedestrians shall be flat.
ii. Decorative and/or permeable pavement is encouraged. iii. Landscaping, pedestrian-scale lighting, and seating areas are encouraged. iv. Public Realm Extensions may be enclosed from the public realm with landscaping, low walls, and/or fences, provided that entrances are provided.
Resolution No. 10415 : Request for Conditional Use Permit and Planning R... Page 243 of 1555 14 v. On-site driving and parking areas shall either be designed as shared, multi-use spaces or be kept separate with strategic siting of buildings and/or landscaping.
The submitted site plan specifies an approximately 3-foot-wide pedestrian walkway from Flower Street to the convenience market primary entrance that is located along the eastern building elevation. There is also a 3-foot-wide pedestrian walkway from the convenience market primary building entrance to Indio Boulevard, however, there appear to be water and air supply cabinets and would therefore obstruct any pedestrian access to and from the primary building entrance to Indio Boulevard.
Therefore, a condition of approval was specified in the July 26, 2023 version of this Resolution requiring the submittal of a modified site plan prior to City Council review and consideration specifying the removal and relocation of the water and air supply cabinets to another on-site location with the provision that this relocation should not block any other pedestrian connection. The applicant addressed this condition on the revised project site plan submitted on November 28, 2023 by relocating the cabinets to the southeast corner of the project site.
24.The submitted site plan does not specify the design characteristics of the proposed pedestrian connection. However, Section 3.14.C.3.b.iii specifies that a clearly marked pedestrian walkway shall be provided and shall be designed as a crosswalk including signage and cues such as striping or material changes. The submitted site plan is unclear as to whether decorative and/or permeable pavement for interior and external pedestrian connections. Further, any interior pedestrian connections should be slightly raised to notify vehicles of the pedestrian crossing area. Therefore, a condition of approval was specified in the July 26, 2023 version of this Resolution requiring the submittal of a modified site plan prior to City Council review and consideration specifying decorative and/or permeable pavement for interior and external pedestrian connections and further specifying raised internal pedestrian connections with dimensioned height. The applicant addressed this condition on the revised project site plan submitted on November 28, 2023 and a condition of approval has been added to this version of the Resolution to assure the construction of on-site sidewalks requires with this Section.
25.The project is a limited land use drive-through restaurant that has not been designed to incorporate enclosed public realm extensions that due to the irregular nature of the parcel, cross-circulation constraints and the auto-oriented nature of the development would be infeasible. The on-site driving and parking areas have been designed to separate on-site parking from drive-through functional areas within the site constraints imposed by the irregular nature of the parcel and the need to maintain crosscirculation between and with adjacent properties.
26.Section 3.9 (Building Height) of the Specific Plan specifies standards for building height and vertical proportions that apply to all new buildings within the boundaries of the Specific Plan. For properties zoned Mixed Use Corridor, Table 3.9-1 specifies that the minimum building height is 3 stories. The submitted elevation drawings for the proposed on-site buildings specify that the convenience store building elevation will
Resolution No. 10415 : Request for Conditional Use Permit and Planning R... Page 244 of 1555 15 be16.7 feet height that is 13.3 feet less than the specified 3 stories standard and as such, does not comply with the specified minimum building height standard. The proposed fuel canopy island is 30.1 feet in height and does comply with the standard.
Section 3.14 (Limited Land Uses) and more specifically Section 3.14.1 specifies that “In order to enable market forces to attract near-term reinvestment to the Mixed-Use Corridor Zone - while also ensuring that over time the vision for that Zone is realized - this Section provides standards and processes whereby limited quantities of lower intensity, more automobile-oriented projects that positively contribute to the economic development and quality of life within a Subarea - defined herein as “Limited Uses” - may be approved in the Mixed-Use Corridor Zone through the Administrative Use Permit (AUP) or Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process. Accordingly, four specific categories of Limited Uses are defined in this Section, including adaptive reuse of existing 1 and 2-story commercial and office buildings, development of limited quantities of new buildings of those types, and development of blocks with lower Frontage Buildout percentages and larger quantities of street-adjacent surface parking that otherwise allowed.” The proposed Indio Gas Station Urban Plaza Project is categorized as a limited land use and more specifically under the category of “development of limited quantities of new buildings of those types”. Therefore, because of its limited land use status, the approximately one and a half story height of the proposed building is acceptable.
27.Section 3.10 (Facades and Frontages) of the Specific Plan specifies standards to ensure that large-scale (“block-form”) buildings, are modulated into smaller “humanscale” increments and composition to generate more dynamic and interesting streetscapes and result in more resilient buildings that are adaptable over time to meet the varied needs of different tenants and uses. Section 3.10.A specifies building massing standards for buildings that are longer than 100 feet in length in the MixedUse Corridor. The proposed on-site building measures approximately 80-feet in length and therefore Section 3.10.A is not applicable to the proposed building.
28.Section 3.10.B (Façade Design) is intended to generate active, attractive and humanscaled façade compositions based on timeless building. The submitted building elevations and renderings propose a combination of horizontal and vertical elements for the convenience store building. All elevations except the western building elevation are in compliance with the façade composition standards specified in Section 3.10.B.2 for a single-use structure. Therefore, a condition of approval was specified in the July 26, 2023 version of this Resolution requiring the submittal of a modified site plan prior to City Council review and consideration demonstrating compliance to Section
3.10.B.2 of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan for the western building elevation of the convenience market. The applicant addressed this condition on the revised project site plan and in the elevations submitted on November 28, 2023. The fuel island canopy structure is a roofed structure only and as such, Section 3.10.B.2 is not applicable to this structure.
29.Section 3.10.B.3 specify façade fenestration standards that are applicable to the proposed project. Section 3.10.B.3.a.i specifies that facades shall be designed to
Resolution No. 10415 : Request for Conditional Use Permit and Planning R... Page 245 of 1555 16 incorporate fenestration (windows and doors) per the amounts specified in Table 3.10- 2 that for properties with the Mixed-Use Corridor designation requires 70 percent to 95 façade fenestration. Based on the submitted plan information, the proposed northern southern and western building elevation facades of the convenience market building do not appear to meet the façade fenestration requirement. Section
3.14.B.1.f.iii specifies that for limited land use facades over 100 feet in width are subject to the Façade Standards in Section 3.10.A.3. The three non-compliant façade elevations for the convenience market that is considered a limited land use pursuant to applicable provisions of the Specific Plan are less than 100 feet in width and therefore are not subject to the specified façade fenestration standards.
30.Section 3.10.3.b specifies the following standards:
i. Except for shopfront or bay windows, all glass shall be set back a minimum of four (4) inches back from the façade plane.
ii. Windows shall have an external reflectance of less than 15%, and a transparency higher than 80%. Opaque windows are prohibited.
iii. Non-operable shutters—known as ‘faux shutters’—are prohibited. iv. The horizontal distance between wall openings shall not exceed 15 feet within a façade or massing increment.
31.The project plans specify that glass storefront sections set back four (4) feet from façade elevation walls for compliance to Section 3.10.3.b.i of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. A condition of approval demonstrating compliance to Section 3.10.3.b.i prior to issuance of a building permit shall be specified to ensure compliance. A condition of approval demonstrating compliance to Section
3.10.3.b.iii prior to issuance of a building permit shall be specified to ensure compliance. The applicant has not specified that the horizontal distance between wall openings at the storefront at the front of the building is not separated by more than 15 feet for compliance with Section 3.10.3.b.iv. Therefore, a condition of approval was specified in the July 26, 2023 version of this Resolution requiring prior to City Council review and consideration, the submittal of revised project plans demonstrating compliance to Section 3.10.3.b.iv of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. The applicant addressed this condition on the revised project elevations submitted on November 28, 2023.
32. Section 3.10.4 (Façade Materials) specifies the following standards:
a. Fiberglass or plastic (false) architectural elements or ornamentations are prohibited.
b. Materials used on shopfronts shall be smooth and non-abrasive to touch. c. Rough-cast and sand-finishes are prohibited on all building surfaces that are visible from a street.
d. Where more than one material is used for the façade, the heavier material shall be used below the lighter material (e.g., brick below siding, not vice versa). e. Modulations, color schemes, balconies, and other façade elements shall be consistent within an individual façade or within an individual Building Increment, when required per Section 3.10.A.2.
Resolution No. 10415 : Request for Conditional Use Permit and Planning R... Page 246 of 1555 17 The applicant did not submit a digital or hard copy materials board that demonstrates compliance to Section 3.10.4.a-e. Therefore, a condition of approval was specified in the July 26, 2023 version of this Resolution that prior to City Council review and consideration, detailed materials and finishes information demonstrating compliance to Section 3.10.4.a-e should be submitted. The applicant addressed this condition on the revised project elevation drawings submitted on November 28, 2023 and also noted in an accompanying narrative that a physical version of the materials and color board will be provided at the Planning Commission’s December 13, 2023 regular meeting. Further, in order to assure on-going compliance to Section 3.10.4.a-e a general condition of approval demonstrating on-going compliance to Section 3.10.4.ae is warranted.
33.Section 3.10.C (Frontages) address the space between the travel lanes of a street and the building, and including the building’s ground floor façade and is applicable to any new building, façade renovation, or building addition along a street or public open space in the Corridor Specific Plan area with minor exceptions to the standards herein allowed for Limited Uses, as defined in Section 3.14. As previously noted, the proposed convenience market and covered fuel island is considered a limited land use pursuant to Section 3.14 of the Specific Plan. As such, Section 3.10.C is not applicable to the project.
34.Section 3.10.D (Building Entry and Projecting Architectural Elements) and more specifically Section 3.10.D.2 specifies that new building designs shall include at least one (1) of the Required Building Entry Elements identified in Table 3.10-6. Section
3.10.D.4 specifies that all buildings shall provide entry via one of the following Building Entry Elements: Porch, Dooryard, Terrace, Stoop, Lobby Entry or Shopfront, as allowed by zone in Table 3.10-6 and that additional standards for each of these types are provided in subsections 3.10.D.4.a-f. The convenience market entrance is appropriately designated as a shopfront and is therefore subject to regulation by Section 3.10.D.4.f. Based on the submitted plans, compliance to this Section cannot be determined. Therefore, a condition of approval was specified in the July 26, 203 version of this Resolution requiring the submittal of detailed to-scale and measurable plan information demonstrating compliance to Section 3.10.D.4.f. The applicant addressed this condition on the revised project site plan and elevation drawings submitted on November 28, 2023.
35.Section 3.10.D.3 specifies that all building entry and projecting architectural elements shall comply with the following requirements:
a. Materials, style, and design shall be consistent with the architecture of the building. b. Deep eaves, balconies, bay windows, and projected rooms of traditionally styled buildings shall have visible supports in the form of projecting beams or braces.
Balconies on contemporary styled buildings shall not be required to have beams or braces.
c. Landscaping shall be appropriate to the architecture and scale of the building.
Resolution No. 10415 : Request for Conditional Use Permit and Planning R... Page 247 of 1555 18 36.The submitted plan documents demonstrate compliance to Section 3.10.D.3.a while Section 3.10.D.3.b is not applicable based on the commercial nature of the on-site buildings. The submitted plans did not include a separate detailed landscape plan or detailed landscape planting information on the site plan such that compliance to Section 3.10.D.3.c can be determined. Therefore, a condition of approval was specified in the July 26, 2023 version of this Resolution requiring the submittal prior to City Council review and consideration of a separate detailed landscape plan or detailed landscape planting information on the site plan demonstrating compliance to Section 3.10.D.3.c. The applicant addressed this condition on the revised project site plan submitted on November 28, 2023.
37.Section 3.11 (Private Signage) of the Specific plan specifies standards for private signage that is applicable to all new signs including on new buildings and renovations or additions to existing buildings. The submitted building rendering drawing, site plan and elevation drawings specify conceptual wall-mounted and free-standing signage.
There is no detailed information provided such that compliance to Section 3.111 could be adequately determined. As such, compliance to Section 3.11 cannot be determined at this time. Therefore, a condition of approval is needed requiring demonstration of compliance to Section 3.11 for any and all wall-mounted, freestanding, menu and directional signage.
38.Section 3.12 (Parking) of the Specific Plan specifies standards for surface parking and structured parking including the number of parking spaces and parking design standards. Section 3.12.A.2.b specifies that compliance with the standards of Section
3.12 is not required when one or more of the following exists:
b. Compliance with these standards is not required in the following instances:
i. a change of use within an existing building; or
ii. an expansion of an existing building that does not result in an increase in floor area by more than 25 percent; or
iii. a replacement of an existing building that does not result in an increase in floor area by more than 25 percent.
The Project does not qualify for an exemption from Section 3.12.A.2.b and therefore, Section 3.12.B.1/Table 3.12-1 is applicable to the proposed project. This Table specifies that the on-site parking requirement for retail land uses is a minimum of 2 spaces per 1,00 square feet and a maximum of 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet. The submitted site plan specifies a total of 20 on-site parking spaces. The submitted site plan indicates that 10 parking spaces are proposed for the convenience market and 10 parking spaces are proposed for the fuel station use. The maximum allowed for the convenience market land use is 8 parking spaces. The fuel station use is intended only for vehicle gasoline filling. Therefore, it is not appropriate to construct 10 on-site parking spaces for this use. It is more reasonable to construct a maximum of 2 spaces.
Therefore, a conditional of approval was specified in the July 26, 2023 version of this Resolution requiring the submittal of a modified site plan prior to City Council review and approval specifying a maximum of 10 on-site surface parking spaces for
Resolution No. 10415 : Request for Conditional Use Permit and Planning R... Page 248 of 1555 19 compliance to Section 3.12.B.1/Table 3.12-1. The applicant addressed this condition on the revised project site plan submitted on November 28, 2023.
39.Section 3.13.B.1.a specifies that utility access and equipment such as back-flow preventers, transformer boxes, gas and electric meters, and other utilities shall be placed within or adjacent to and be accessed from the alley, subject to the requirements and approval of the associated utility company. This Section further specifies that on lots with no alley, meters and similar equipment shall be located in underground vaults or in utility rooms/closets within buildings, were possible and that if such locations are infeasible, these services shall be located in inconspicuous locations along the sides of project sites and shall be thoroughly screened from public view. The submitted site plan does not specify whether there will be on-ground utility equipment such that compliance to Section 3.13.B.1.a can be determined. Further, the submitted site plan does not specify any detailed landscaping information nor is there a separately submitted landscaping plan. Therefore, a condition of approval was specified in the July 26, 2023 version of this Resolution requiring prior to City Council review and consideration the submittal of a modified site plan specifying the location of any on-ground utility equipment together with detailed landscaping information on the site plan or a separate landscape plan addressing compliance to Section
3.13.B.1.a. The applicant addressed this condition on the revised project site plan submitted on November 28, 2023.
40.Section 3.13.B.2.a-c specifies the following: a) all mechanical and electrical equipment – including, but not limited to, air-conditioning units, antennas, garage door motors – whether roof-mounted, ground-mounted or otherwise, shall be screened from public view or located so as not to be visible from streets or open spaces. Such equipment and related screening shall be designed with materials and colors that conform to and are an integral part of the design of the building; b) mechanical equipment that generates noise, smoke or odors, shall not be located on or within 10 feet of a public right of way or any on-site common open spaces; and c) noise- and odor-generating equipment and containers shall be located in areas that will not create a nuisance to adjacent properties. The submitted site plans do not contain any detailed information such that compliance to Section 3.13.B.2.a-c can be determined at this time.
Therefore, a condition of approval was specified in the July 26, 2023 of this Resolution requiring prior to City Council review and consideration the submittal of a modified site plan and associated detail information demonstrating compliance to Section
3.13.B.2.a-c. The applicant addressed this condition on the revised project site plan submitted on November 28, 2023. Further, prior to certificate of occupancy, the applicant shall completely screen meaning not visible from Flower Street, Requa Street, Indio Boulevard and adjacent properties on the east, west and south on all sides via roof parapet walls or similar treatment all roof-mounted mechanical equipment. Prior to certificate of occupancy, the applicant shall enclose all electrical switchgear within an accessible closet space that will be further screened by landscaping as specified on the approved final landscape plan. Prior to certificate of occupancy, the applicant shall effectively screen from public view water and gas meters with landscaping specified on the approved final landscape plan.
Resolution No. 10415 : Request for Conditional Use Permit and Planning R... Page 249 of 1555 20 41.Section 3.13.C (Grading & Site Walls) and more specifically Section 3.13.C.1-5 specifies standards for fences and walls. The submitted site plan does not specify the provision of any on-site fences or walls. If the applicant determines to install any onsite fences or walls, they shall be constructed in accordance with Section 3.13.C of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. The applicant clarified in the November 28, 2023 written narrative that there were no on-site fences or walls planned for this project.
42.Section 3.13.D (Lighting) specifies the following standards:
1. General to All
a. Site lighting shall be shielded by permanent attachments to light fixtures so that light sources are not visible from a public way and to prevent off-site glare. b. Specific to residential ground floors: site and building-mounted luminaires shall produce initial illuminance value no greater than 0.04 horizontal and vertical foot candles.
c. Specific to nonresidential ground floors: site and building-mounted luminaires shall produce a maximum initial illuminance value no greater than 0.1 horizontal and vertical foot candles at the boundary with adjoining residential lots, and no greater than 0.01 horizontal foot candles 10 feet beyond that boundary.
2. Lighting Abutting the Public Realm. Lighting within surface parking lots, private frontages, and any other on-site open space that abuts a public right of way shall comply with the following standards:
a. Lighting shall be shielded by permanent attachments to fixtures so that light sources are not visible from adjacent properties or the public right of way. b. No freestanding fixture shall exceed a height of 15 feet as measured from finished adjacent grade.
c. Light sources shall have a maximum output of no greater than 3,00 lumens. d. Required illuminance (in foot candles)
i. Max: 4.0
ii. Min: 0.2
iii. Max average: 0.8
iv. Uniformity ratio (max/min): 20/1
v. Uniformity ratio (average/min): 4/1
The applicant did not submit a detailed photometric lighting plan prepared by a qualified professional demonstrating compliance to Section 3.13.D.1-2. Therefore, a condition of approval was specified in the July 26, 2023 version of this Resolution requiring prior to City Council review and consideration the submittal of a detailed lighting plan prepared by a qualified professional demonstrating compliance to Section 3.13.D.1-2. The applicant addressed this condition on the revised project site plan submitted on November 28, 2023.
43.Section 3.13.E.1.a-g specifies the following standards:
a. Where front yards are landscaped, individual paths to the sidewalk shall be provided for each entrance.
Resolution No. 10415 : Request for Conditional Use Permit and Planning R... Page 250 of 1555 21 b. Allowed species. Trees and Plant material shall be native to the Sonoran Desert, or adaptive from regions with similar arid climates (such as the Mojave Desert). c. Invasive species. Invasive plant species shall be prohibited. d. Desert-adapted plants. All plants shall be water-conserving, drought-tolerant plants.
e. Green screens. Landscape shall be used to soften walls and fences and provide green screens, where appropriate, between residential and nonresidential buildings. f. Climate mitigation. Trees, shrubs, hedges, and deciduous vines are encouraged to be used to minimize solar heat gain during the summer and maximize heat gain during the winter.
g. Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED). All landscape plans shall be reviewed by a CPTED-qualified member of the Indio Police Department.
The applicant did not submit a landscape plan demonstrating compliance to Section
3.13.E.1.a-g. Therefore, a condition of approval was specified in the July 26, 203 version of this Resolution requiring prior to City Council review and approval the submittal of a landscape plan demonstrating compliance to Section 3.13.E.1.a-g of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. The applicant addressed this condition on the revised project site plan submitted on November 28, 2023.
44.Section 3.13.E.1.h specifies the following standards:

THE INDIO GAS STATION URBAN PLAZA
PER THE REVITALIZATION PLANS OF HIGHWAY 111 AND DOWNTOWN INDIO, AS WELL AS CREATING AN ECOSYSTEM FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP/ INNOVATION DIVERSIFYING THE CITY'S BUSINESS AND EMPLOYMENT BASE AND CREATE JOBS, THIS URBAN PROJECTLOCATED WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN AREA OF INDIO, CONTRIBUTES TO THE WIDER 2040 GENERAL PLAN, WHILE ALSO HELPING DEVELOP AN ATTRACTIVE ENVIRONMENT WITHIN THE FABRIC OF THE GROWING CITY. THE PROJECT INCLUDES A GAS STATION INCLUDING 2 ELECTRIC CHARGING STATIONS, CONVENIENCE STORE WITH A COFFEE BAR AND AN AREA FOR FUTURE COMMERCIAL / RETAIL DEVELOPMENT. THIS PROJECT IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF MAKING WAY FOR CREATING SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES FOR THE SPECIFIC PLAN AREA THAT CATALYZE NEAR TERM GROWTH AND IMPROVEMENT WHILE ENSURING SUSTAINED LONG TERM SUCCESS. THIS FUTURISTIC CONTEMPORARY URBAN DESIGN IS PART OF A REVITALIZATION STRATEGY TO PHYSICALLY IMPROVE THE CORRIDOR'S PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PROPERTIES IN WAYS THAT BALANCE A HIGH QUALITY ENVIRONMENT WITH FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY. IT CONTRIBUTES TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, SUSTAINABLE EMPLOYMENT AND PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS.
SINCE THE SITE IS LOCATED FURTHER THAN 300 FEET FROM HIGHWAY 111, THE 3 STORY REGULATION WITHIN THE CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS SPECIFIC PROPERTY, THEREFORE, FROM THE LAST HEARING WE HAVE INCREASED THE HEIGHT OF THE CONVENIENCE STORE TO ALMOST 20', WHILE THE GAS STATION CANOPY STOPS AT 30' HEIGHT. THE INFLOW OF TRAFFIC WITHIN THE URBAN DEVELOPMENT IS THE CORE OF THE PROJECT AND IT PROVIDES EASY ACCESS AND EXIT TO AND FROM THE SITE, SPECIFICALLY TO AND FROM INDIO BLVD, TO AND FROM FLOWER ST. AND ONE WAY ACCESS FROM THE SOUTHWESTERN CORNER LOCATED WITHIN THE AREA OF FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE. PEDESTRIAN PATHS AND ACCESS IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE PROJECT AND IT HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF FUTURE EMPLOYEES AND GUESTS. THE MAIN FOCUS NOW IS THE CONVENIENCE STORE AND THE FUEL STATION, THEREFORE, THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT ON THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY IS LEFT FOR THE NEXT PHASE BUT IT WILL BE A CENTER OD SOCIAL, CULTURAL AND ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES. PARKING PROVIDED IS MORE THAN THE MINIMUM REQUIRED, WHICH IS 6 PARKING SPACES FOR THE 3060 SF CONVENIENCE STORE, WHILE VEHICLES WILL BE STATIONED IN THE AISLES OF THE GAS AND ELECTRIC STATIONS TO RECEIVE FUEL / CHARGE. OVERALL, THE PLANNING DESIGN TAKES FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE TRIANGULAR SHAPED LOT.
THE CONTRAST OF THE DRY DESERT HILLS AND ENVIRONMENT WITH THIS STRIKING MODERN ARCHITECTURE RISING WITHIN THE BROADER INDIO DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS AN ASPECT OF THE PROMISING FUTURE FOR INDIO AND THE COACHELLA VALLEY AND WE WILL BE WORKING TOWARDS ITS REALIZATION.

The Indio Oasis 30 Apartment Project will consist of a 3-story residential building with parking on the ground floor, apartment units above, a ground level retail component, outdoor recreation and underground utilities. The total size of the construction site area is 0.52 acres. Pre-project quantity of impervious surface is 0 acres (0%); Post-project quantity of impervious surface will be 0.515 acres (99%).
Anticipated and potential pollutants generated by land use for commercial development are:
Bacteria/Virus, Nutrients, Pesticides, Sediments, Trash and Debris, Oxygen Demanding Substances, Organic Compounds, Oil and Grease. The harmful effects of these pollutants shall be reduced through action and care of the operator.
The proposed development consists of 30 residential units, outdoor living and recreation areas, and a small retail component. The project site meets the following criteria as a Priority Project for New Development that are required to incorporate and implement all Source Control, Site Design and Treatment BMPs:.
Paved areas created by the development will include private streets, driveways, and courtyards. An above ground retention system provide storage for water quality and the 100-yr storm. Additional de-watering will be accomplished with a dual chambered Maxwell type dry-wells.
Landscaped areas will also be created by the development. The outer perimeter of the site will be landscaped along with the road frontage. Landscaping areas will comply with runoff minimizing design.
A proposed storm drainage system will support stormwater runoff for the site. This system will convey stormwater runoff to an on-site retention system.
Construction activities related will be conducted site wide. Materials used for these operations will include the heavy machinery and equipment necessary to complete the construction. Materials and equipment will be stored at a location to be determined upon beginning of construction. Materials that will be used during construction and post-construction that will have the potential to contribute pollutants other than sediment to stormwater runoff are as follows:
Vehicle fluids, including oil, grease, petroleum, and coolants; Asphalt concrete (AC) and Portland cement concrete (PCC) materials and wastes; Joint seal materials and concrete curing compounds; Paints, solvents, and thinners; Wood products (treated lumber, materials, and wastes); Metals, and plated products; Sandblasting materials; Mortar mix; PCC rubble; Masonry block rubble; Raw landscaping materials and wastes (topsoil, plant materials, mulch fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides).
Upon completion and acceptance of all construction work, the developer, Sapient Advisors Inc.., will be responsible for operating and maintaining post-construction control measures.

IV. Hydrologic Conditions of Concern
Local Jurisdiction Requires On-Site Retention of Urban Runoff:
Yes The project will be required to retain urban runoff onsite in conformance with local ordinance (See Table 6 of the WQMP Guidance document, "Local Land use Authorities Requiring Onsite Retention of Stormwater"). This section does not need to be completed; however, retention facility design details and sizing calculations must be included in Appendix F.
No This section must be completed.
This Project meets the following condition:
Condition A: 1) Runoff from the Project is discharged directly to a publicly-owned, operated and maintained MS4 or engineered and maintained channel, 2) the discharge is in full compliance with local land use authority requirements for connections and discharges to the MS4 (including both quality and quantity requirements), 3) the discharge would not significantly impact stream habitat in proximate Receiving Waters, and 4) the discharge is authorized by the local land use authority.
Condition B: The project disturbs less than 1 acre and is not part of a larger common plan of development that exceeds 1 acre of disturbance. The disturbed area calculation must include all disturbances associated with larger plans of development.
Condition C: The project's runoff flow rate, volume, velocity and duration for the post-development condition do not exceed the pre-development condition for the 2- year, 24-hour and 10-year 24-hour rainfall events. This condition can be achieved by, where applicable, complying with the local land use authority's on-site retention ordinance, or minimizing impervious area on a site and incorporating other SiteDesign BMP concepts and LID/Site Design BMPs that assure non-exceedance of pre-development conditions. This condition must be substantiated by hydrologic modeling methods acceptable to the local land use authority.
None: Refer to Section 3.4 of the Whitewater River Region WQMP Guidance document for additional requirements.

V. Best Management Practices
This project implements Best Management Practices (BMPs) to address the Pollutants of Concern that may potentially be generated from the use of the Choose one: 'project site' or 'project site plus existing site area(s)'. These BMPs have been selected and implemented to comply with Section 3.5 of the WQMP Guidance document, and consist of Site Design BMP concepts, Source Control, LID/Site Design and, if/where necessary, Treatment Control BMPs as described herein.
V.1 SITE DESIGN BMP CONCEPTS, LID/SITE DESIGN AND TREATMENT
CONTROL BMPS
Local Jurisdiction Requires On-Site Retention of Urban Runoff:
Yes The project will be required to retain Urban Runoff onsite in conformance with local ordinance (See Table 6 of the WQMP Guidance document, "Local Land use Authorities Requiring Onsite Retention of Stormwater). The LID/Site Design measurable goal has thus been met (100%), and Sections V.1.A and V.1.B do not need to be completed; however, retention facility design details and sizing calculations must be included in Appendix F, and '100%' should be entered into Column 3 of Table 6 below.
No Section V.1 must be completed.
This section of the Project-Specific WQMP documents the LID/Site Design BMPs and, if/where necessary, the Treatment Control BMPs that will be implemented on the project to meet the requirements detailed within Section 3.5.1 of the WQMP Guidance document. Section 3.5.1 includes requirements to implement Site Design Concepts and BMPs, and includes requirements to address Pollutants of Concern with BMPs. Further, sub-section 3.5.1.1 specifically requires that Pollutants of Concern be addressed with LID/Site Design BMPs to the extent feasible.
LID/Site Design BMPs are those BMPs listed within Table 2 below which promote retention and/or feature a natural treatment mechanism; off-site and regionally-based BMPs are also LID/Site Design BMPs, and therefore count towards the measurable goal, if they fit these criteria. This project incorporates LID/Site Design BMPs to fully address the Treatment Control BMP requirement where and to the extent feasible. If and where it has been acceptably demonstrated to the local land use authority that it is infeasible to fully meet this requirement with LID/Site Design BMPs, Section V.1.B (below) includes a description of the conventional Treatment Control BMPs that will be substituted to meet the same requirements.
In addressing Pollutants of Concern, BMPs are selected using Table 2 below.

Project Site Design BMP Concepts:
An open air retention system provides storage for water quality and the 100-yr storm. Additional dewatering will be accomplished with 2 dual chambered Maxwell type dry-wells. By capturing all rainfall runoff up to the 100-yr storm event, the retention basin storage area will allow trash and silt to settle out as runoff infiltrates into the ground by way of the open bottom of the chambers and the two drywells.
Alternative Project Site Design BMP Concepts:

TRASH STORAGE AREAS. Design trash container areas so that drainage from adjoining roofs and pavement is diverted around the area(s) to avoid run-on. This might include berming or grading the waste handling area to prevent run-on of stormwater. Make sure trash container areas are screened or walled to prevent off-site transport of trash. Provide roofs, awnings, or attached lids on all trash containers to minimize direct precipitation and prevent rainfall from entering containers.

Following the conclusion of the public hearing and discussion, the Planning Commission approved revised Resolution No. 2077 recommending to the City Council for the City of Indio, California the conditional approval of the Conditional Use Permit and Planning Review Permit (Case File No. 23-06-57)for the Starbucks Drive-Through Restaurant Project with the motion vote outcome specified in the meeting minutes for the December 13, 2023 Planning Commission meeting.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Findings:
Section § 15168 (c)(2) specifies that if the agency finds that pursuant to Section § 15162, no subsequent EIR would be required, the agency can approve the activity as being within the scope of the project covered by the program EIR, and no new environmental documentation would be required. Whether a later activity is within the scope of a program EIR is a factual question that the lead agency determines based on substantial evidence in the record. Factors that an agency may consider in making the determination include, but are not limited to, consistency of the later activity with the type of allowable land use, planned density and building intensity, geographic area analyzed for environmental impacts, and covered infrastructure as described in the Program EIR; (PFEIR).
Resolution No. 10416 : Request for Conditional Use Permit and Planning R... Page 350 of 1555 Section § 15162 specify the following: (a) When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following: (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
(A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration; (B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
Section § 15162 (b) specifies that if changes to a project or its circumstances occur or new information becomes available after adoption of a negative declaration, the lead agency shall prepare a subsequent EIR if required under subdivision (a). Otherwise, the lead agency shall determine whether to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, an addendum, or no further documentation.
Section §15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, subsection (a) states that additional environmental review is not required for projects “which are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified”, except as might be necessary to determine whether there are project-specific significant effects.
On September 18, 2019, the Indio City Council certified the Program Final Environmental Impact Report (PFEIR) for the General Plan 2040 through its adoption of Resolution No. 10106. This FEIR was prepared as a program EIR.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162, 15168 and 15183, the Community Development Director for the City of Indio, acting as the lead agency representative, determined that the Starbucks Drive-Through Restaurant Project is within the scope of the PFEIR for the General Plan 2040 as the Project will substantively implement the General Plan 2040’s vision, intent, policies and goals. Therefore, the Community Development Director determined that no new environmental documentation is required. The Planning Commission concurred with this determination.
The Community Development Director has determined that the Starbucks Drive-Through Restaurant qualifies for a Class 32 “Infill” Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15332 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Planning Commission concurred with this determination.
Land Use Findings:
Resolution No. 10416 : Request for Conditional Use Permit and Planning R... Page 351 of 1555 The project site is within the boundaries of the Downtown Specific Plan adopted by the City Council on April 15, 2020 and is also within the perimeter boundaries of the Midtown Corridor Segment of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan adopted by the City Council on September 21, 2022. While drive-through land uses are not allowed by the Downtown Specific Plan, they are allowed as a Limited Land Use upon receipt of Conditional Use Permit and Planning Review approval from the City Council.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.2 (Code Administration) of the adopted Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan, the Director has interpreted that the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan can be applicable to the development of the aforementioned project and that further the development of this project will be processed under the auspices of the Mixed-Use Corridor (MUC) zoning designation of the Specific Plan.
The General Plan 2040 specifies a Downtown land use designation for the project site. The Downtown land use designation is intended to support a lively, thriving Downtown area by accommodating multi-story, mixed-use buildings at higher densities and/or intensities. Allowed land uses include both vertical and horizontal mixed use, and standalone uses comprised of mixed-use land uses including retail/office, retail/residential, office/residential and standalone uses including neighborhood-serving retail, general commercial, services, entertainment, multi-family residential, live/work, and office.
The project site is within the boundaries of the Midtown Corridor Segment of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. This Segment is intended to implement the Midtown land use designation specified in the General Plan 2040. The Midtown land use designation is intended to provide for an active, mixed-use center in Midtown by allowing multi-story, mixed-use buildings at higher intensities, community gathering spaces, and land uses to support residents and visitors. Allowed land uses include both vertical and horizontal mixed-use development comprised of mixed-use land uses including retail/office, retail/residential, office/residential and standalone uses including neighborhood-serving retail, general commercial, services, entertainment, multi-family residential, live/work, and office.
Policy LU-1.1 (Overall City Structure) of the General Plan 2040 specifies that a clearly defined City structure will be partially established by creating mixed-use corridors along Highway 111, Monroe Street, Avenue 42, and Avenue 44 that contain a mix of retail, service, office, and residential uses.
Corridors should have defined nodes that provide a mix of local- and regional-serving uses. The project is proposing a one-story quick-service restaurant with drive-through and associated supportive land uses including surface parking, on-site landscaping, on-site lighting and on-site signage.
The City of Indio City Council adopted the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan on September 21, 2022. The stated goal of this Specific Plan is: “The City will utilize this Specific Plan as strategic action plan to attract, enable and guide market based economic development to deliver new housing, employment, and public improvements along this important city center corridor, in patterns and forms that systematically realize the long-term vision for central Indio, one project and one improvement at a time.” The subject property proposed for the Starbucks Drive-Through Restaurant Project is currently vacant and was previously occupied a non-utilized former gasoline service station. This structure prior to its demolition had been vacant and underutilized since approximately 2012 and had been previously utilized as a used car sales lot.
The Vision Statement for the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan is ”The Highway 111 Corridor will be transformed from a suburban highway commercial strip, into a lively, dynamic center of social,
Resolution No. 10416 : Request for Conditional Use Permit and Planning R... Page 352 of 1555 cultural and economic activity for the City of Indio - respecting the Corridor’s history and context, building on its existing amenities, reflecting community desires, and leveraging evolving economic opportunities for the benefit of the entire community.” The proposed Starbucks Drive-Through Restaurant Project is a partially auto-oriented fast food or quick service restaurant land use. It also has an order and pick up window. Because of its proximity to the Riverside County Larson Justice Center and the John J. Benoit Detention Center, it is expected that there will be significant pedestrian-based utilization of the proposed land use that will mitigate the auto-oriented component from being the pre-dominant aspect of the development. Because of its joint auto-oriented and pedestrian-oriented with direct access to high volume governmental institutions frequented by employees, visiting professionals and jurors, the project makes a limited contribution to a lively dynamic center of social, cultural and economic activity for the City of Indio. Further, the Specific Plan has identified certain limited land uses that are conditionally allowed in recognition that the transformation of the Corridor will likely take significant time and to balance the Corridor’s transformation with the economic development needs and interests of the City and private property rights.
Pursuant to Section 3.4.C.2 of the Specific Plan, the Mixed Use Corridor Zone is intended to implement the vision for Highway 111 to evolve into a mixed-use central boulevard - characterized by strong urban buildings with active ground-floor uses and frontages that provide services and amenities to the adjacent neighborhoods, inject the corridor with daily human activity, and establish a clear and attractive identity for the corridor that is unique to the City of Indio.
Section 3.5 (Allowed Uses) of the Specific Plan addresses allowed land uses within the boundaries of the Specific Plan and corresponding permit requirements for each regulatory zone, as applicable.
Table 3.5-1 (Allowed Uses) specifies that all drive-through restaurant land uses are subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit approval and planning review approvals and that the issuance of these approvals shall ultimately be by the City Council following review and issuance of a recommendation by the Planning Commission.
Pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Specific Plan, the standards of this this section shall apply to any parcel within the Master Planned Design Overlay in Figure 3.4-1, or for any proposed development greater than 4 acres in size. No new subdivision, building, street or other improvement shall be approved on such a parcel without a Planning Review (PR) Permit and an approved Master Planned Development (MPD) Permit, based on a determination of consistency with these standards. The project site is 26,136 square feet or 0.60 of an acre in size and therefore, this Section is not applicable to the proposed project.
Pursuant to Section 3.6.A.2.a, all new development must complete and/or support—and in no way impede—the required connections and intersections which appear in their subarea. The project site is located in Subarea 14. Figure 3.6-1 does not identify required and/or recommended connections through the project site. Pursuant to Section 3.6.B.1.b, required connections form links through and between subareas and are required to be multi-modal streets with vehicular access and shall be further be designed as Avenues (per Section 3.7.B.4.a) or Neighborhood Streets (per Section
3.7.B.4.c). Pursuant to Section 3.6.B.1.d, recommended connections are included as suggested ways to meet the Block Standards of Section 3.6.C, but their quantity and placement is flexible.
Recommendations for how some of these connections can be implemented are included in Table
3.6-2. However, because the Specific Plan does not specify required or recommended connections through any portion of the project site, this Section is not applicable to the proposed project.
Pursuant to Section 3.6.C.1/Table 3.6.3 (Maximum Block Size), the maximum block perimeter for the Mixed-Use Corridor zone is 1,600 feet. Pursuant to Section 3.6.C.2.a, per Table 3.6-1, all blocks
Resolution No. 10416 : Request for Conditional Use Permit and Planning R... Page 353 of 1555 shall be defined—or in other words: bound at their perimeter—by one or more of the following types of public connections or open spaces: Street, Carless Street, Plaza/Green, Neighborhood Park, or Mini Park. Pursuant to Section 3.6.C.2.a.i, a block may be bound on no more than one (1) side by a Carless Street, Plaza/Green, Neighborhood Park, or Mini Park. Pursuant to Section 3.6.C.2.b, types which define a block shall be public and shall not be private or semi-public. Pursuant to Section
3.6.C.2.b.i, “Public” means those spaces and connections which are publicly accessible—providing public right-of-way—regardless of ownership. The project site is comprised of two (2) parcels of land. Assessor’s Parcel Number 611-231-020, with street frontage on Oasis Street, Highway 111 and a public alley, measures approximately 149.81 lineal feet wide along the site’s southern (Highway 111) perimeter, 102.57 lineal feet long along the site’s western (Oasis Street) perimeter, 100.90 lineal feet along the site’s eastern (public alley) perimeter and 149.81 lineal feet along the site’s northern perimeter. Assessor’s Parcel Number 611-231-021 with street frontage on Towne Street and along the public alley measures approximately 149.81 lineal feet wide along the site’s southern perimeter, 50.07 lineal feet long along the site’s western (public alley) perimeter, 50.07 lineal feet along the site’s eastern (Towne Street) perimeter and 199.99 lineal feet along the site’s northern perimeter. As a result of the project site’s limited size and associated dimensions, it complies with this Section.
Section 3.7 (Public Realm Standards) specifies standards for the public realm areas of the Highway 111 Corridor. The project site is comprised of private property that is located along an existing built portion of Highway 111. The applicant is not proposing nor is being required to make any substantive public realm improvements other than a raised curb median in Oasis Street to limit ingress and egress turning movements into right-in/right-out movements only. that would create a legal nexus for compliance with one or more standards in this Section. Therefore, this Section is not applicable to the proposed project.
Section 3.8 (Building Placement and Access) and more specifically Section 3.8.B.1 specifies standards to ensure that proposed development within the Specific Plan area promotes a pedestrian-friendly environment along the street by placing buildings at the front of the site and locating parking at the center or the back of the site. Table 3.8-1 (Building Placement) specifies building placement standards that are applicable to properties that are located within the Mixed-Use Corridor regulatory zone. This Table specifies that the Highway 111 build to range should be 0 feet to 15 feet, that the front street build out should be 100 percent, that there is no side street build to range, that the side street build out should be 80 percent for the first 40 feet with no buildout requirement after 40 feet, that the building length should be a maximum of 300 feet, and that there are no building setback requirements except for a 10-foot separation between multiple buildings on a single lot. Section 3.14 (Limited Land Uses in the MU-C Zone) and more specifically Section
3.14.A.3.1.c.iv specifies that the Frontage Buildout requirements listed in Table 3.8-1 may be waived for provided buildings are in conformance with the requirements of the rest of this Section. The proposed building portion of the Starbucks Drive-Through Restaurant is comprised of one (1) building that is located at the edge of the southern perimeter property line along Highway 111 with the building length along this frontage measuring 66-feet in length. This building, by being located at the southern property line, complies with the 15-foot build to range. The remainder of the Highway 111 frontage is occupied by an on-site outdoor patio, on-site pedestrian walkways, on-site order and pick-up window and on-site landscaping thereby meeting the 100 percent build-out requirement. The Oasis Street side street is fully built-out with landscaping and vehicle ingress and egress thereby complying with the maximum build out standard. There are no other on-site buildings and therefore, the project site complies with the specified building to building setback requirements.
Section 3.8.B.2 specifies standards for Public Realm Extensions into project sites. The submitted site plan specifies multiple direct and indirect pedestrian connections from Highway 111 into the site
Resolution No. 10416 : Request for Conditional Use Permit and Planning R... Page 354 of 1555 connecting to the building adjacent sidewalk sections. Section 3.8.B.2.f specifies the following standards applicable to this connection:
i. Public Realm Extensions shall connect directly to the public sidewalk. Any necessary steps, ramps, and/or elevators to connect them shall be easy to locate and comfortable to use. Apart from steps and ramps, surfaces used by pedestrians shall be flat. ii. Decorative and/or permeable pavement is encouraged. iii. Landscaping, pedestrian-scale lighting, and seating areas are encouraged. iv. Public Realm Extensions may be enclosed from the public realm with landscaping, low walls, and/or fences, provided that entrances are provided.
v. On-site driving and parking areas shall either be designed as shared, multi-use spaces or be kept separate with strategic siting of buildings and/or landscaping.
The submitted site plan does not directly specify the design characteristics of the proposed pedestrian connection although the submitted elevation drawings appear to indicate concrete material for the on-site pedestrian connections and patio area. There is a semi-diagonal crosswalk section shown crossing over the vehicle drive-through aisle connecting to the on-site parking lot, however, the material to be used in this crossing is not specified. Also, the associated surface parking area does not specify any dedicated pedestrian walking space, nor does it demonstrate any utilization of materials to highlight pedestrian crossing (s) within this parking area. However, Section
3.14.C.3.b.iii specifies that a clearly marked pedestrian walkway shall be provided and shall be designed as a crosswalk including signage and cues such as striping or material changes. It is unclear from the submitted plans whether decorative and/or permeable pavement for the aforementioned on-site pedestrian connection will be installed. In order to ascertain that the pedestrian connection will be designed consistent with Section 3.8.B.2.f.i-v, a condition of approval requiring the submittal prior to City Council review and consideration of detailed plan information prepared by a qualified professional demonstrating compliance to Section 3.8.B.2.f.i-v for specified and non-specified pedestrian connections within and connecting across project parking areas is warranted.
Section 3.9 (Building Height) of the Specific Plan specifies standards for building height and vertical proportions that apply to all new buildings within the boundaries of the Specific Plan. For properties zoned Mixed Use Corridor, Table 3.9-1 specifies that the minimum building height is 3 stories. The submitted elevation drawings for the proposed on-site building specify that the primary building elevation will be 27.4 feet in height that is 2.6 feet less than the specified 3 stories standard and as such, does not comply with the specified minimum building height standard. Section 3.14 (Limited Land Uses) and more specifically Section 3.14.1 specifies that “In order to enable market forces to attract near-term reinvestment to the Mixed-Use Corridor Zone - while also ensuring that over time the vision for that Zone is realized - this Section provides standards and processes whereby limited quantities of lower intensity, more automobile-oriented projects that positively contribute to the economic development and quality of life within a Subarea - defined herein as “Limited Uses” - may be approved in the Mixed-Use Corridor Zone through the Administrative Use Permit (AUP) or Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process. Accordingly, four specific categories of Limited Uses are defined in this Section, including adaptive reuse of existing 1 and 2-story commercial and office buildings, development of limited quantities of new buildings of those types, and development of blocks with lower Frontage Buildout percentages and larger quantities of street-adjacent surface parking that otherwise allowed.” The proposed Starbucks Drive-Through Restaurant project is categorized as a limited land use and more specifically under the category of “development of limited quantities of new buildings of those types”. Therefore, because of its limited land use status, the approximately 2.7 stories height of the proposed building is acceptable.
Resolution No. 10416 : Request for Conditional Use Permit and Planning R... Page 355 of 1555 Section 3.10 (Facades and Frontages) of the Specific Plan specifies standards to ensure that largescale (“block-form”) buildings, are modulated into smaller “human-scale” increments and composition to generate more dynamic and interesting streetscapes and result in more resilient buildings that are adaptable over time to meet the varied needs of different tenants and uses.
Section 3.10.A specifies building massing standards for buildings that are longer than 100 feet in length in the Mixed-Use Corridor. The proposed on-site building measures approximately 66 feet in length and therefore Section 3.10.A is not applicable to the proposed building.
Section 3.10.B (Façade Design) is intended to generate active, attractive and human-scaled façade compositions based on timeless building. The submitted building elevations propose a combination of horizontal and vertical elements inclusive of windows in different orientations and different materials distributed in different orientation, all of which comply with the façade composition standards specified in Section 3.10.B.2 for a single-use structure.
Section 3.10.B.3 specify façade fenestration standards that are applicable to the proposed project.

Section 3.14.C.1-3 specifies standards that are applicable to all limited land uses comprised of:
Resolution No. 10416 : Request for Conditional Use Permit and Planning R... Page 363 of 1555
1. Intent and Applicability. The intent of these standards is to ensure that:
a. New freestanding commercial buildings shall contribute to the overall pedestrian experience and quality of life within the Corridor, while minimizing any negative impacts to the mixed-use urban character envisioned for the Corridor.
b. New buildings that provide drive-through facilities operate efficiently while minimizing the negative impacts on traffic, pedestrian safety, and street character. No part of a drive-through facility may interfere with clear and safe pedestrian access to the building’s main entrance, nor detract from the building’s frontage character facing the Corridor.
2. Freestanding Commercial Building Standards
a. Frontage
i. Active uses (retail, dining, bar, etc.) shall be located along the street-facing façade, with fenestration as required in Section 3.10.B and 3.10.C to render business activity clearly visible from the street.
ii. Active outdoor spaces (dining, gathering, etc.) are encouraged, and when provided shall be located so as to be clearly visible from 111 and/or other streets. iii. Outdoor dining areas shall be defined by low fences and/or low landscaping. Where adjacent to the drive-through stacking aisle, a landscape buffer of at least six (6) feet in width shall be provided. See Section 3.13 (Site Standards) for additional requirements. iv. Encroachments. Sun-shading devices (awnings, canopies, porches, pergolas, umbrellas, trees, etc.) shall be provided over any active outdoor spaces to provide a more comfortable, userfriendly environment. See requirements in Section 3.10.D (Projecting Architectural Elements), and Section 3.13 (Site Standards).
3. Drive-Through Facilities Standards

i. To the greatest extent possible, driveways providing access to or egress from a drivethrough service lane shall also provide access to the customer parking lot. ii. Drive-through lanes adjacent to the building shall be screened from the Highway 111 Corridor and all sidewalks by the building mass, low walls (3’-4’ tall), pergolas, and/or landscaping.
See Figures 3.14-2 for preferable configurations. Drive-through lanes elsewhere on the site shall be screened from the street in the manner required for parking lots. iii. Locating the drive-through lane between a building and the Highway 111 Corridor sidewalk is strongly discouraged. However, if there is no other alternative, a clearly marked pedestrian walkway shall provide clear access from the sidewalk, across the drive-through lane, to the building entrance (see Figure 3.14-3). The pedestrian walkway shall be designed as a crosswalk, including signage and cues such as striping or material changes.
c. Frontage
i. If a drive-through lane is located between the building and the Corridor sidewalk, the drivethrough shall be integrated into the building design via a “faux” façade or screen wall built between the drive-through lane and the sidewalk that shall either be built to look like an extension of the primary building and made of the same material, or be built as an arcade or pergola addition to the primary building. The façade or screen wall must present a generally open, fenestrated appearance meeting the intent of Façade requirements in Section 3.10.B while also substantially screening views of idling vehicles, by spanning the entire length of the primary façade(s) facing the sidewalk (see Figure 3.14-3).
d. Parking
Resolution No. 10416 : Request for Conditional Use Permit and Planning R... Page 364 of 1555 i. Drive-through lanes shall be physically separated from the parking lot by low walls (3’ to 4’ tall), pergolas, and/or landscaping (See Figures 3.14-2 and 3.14-3). ii.
