Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 620 of 883 Suburban Neighborhood Low (SNL), Suburban Neighborhood High (SNH), Connected Neighborhood Low (CNL), Connected Neighborhood High (CNH), and Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN) (Table 3-2: General Plan Types, City of Indio GPU 2040). The project site is located in the Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN) subcategory.
The Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN) land use designation provides moderate-tohigher intensity neighborhood development that features a variety of multifamily housing choices and commercial uses along major streets. Primary uses in the MUN subcategory consist of but are not limited to single-family and multi-family residential uses, parks and recreation, mixed use (retail/office, retail/residential, office/residential, and neighborhood-serving retail), general commercial, services, entertainment, live/work, and office.
The 7Brew project will construct one drive-through coffee shop at approximately 910 square feet. The Project as proposed would be permitted within the Mixed Use Neighborhood land use designation and would be in compliance with the City of Indio General Plan 2040.
The General Plan 2040 contains goals and policies that are relevant to the Project.
The following identifies these goals and policies and makes findings of fact regarding if and how the Project complies with them:
Goal LU-1: Citywide Urban Structure. An urban structure that enhances the quality of life of residents, meets the community’s vision for the future, and weaves new growth area together with established Indio neighborhoods.
LU-1.3: Contiguous Development. When development occurs outside the Downtown, Midtown, and existing central neighborhoods, locate new development adjacent to Indio’s built environment to create a contiguous expansion of the City.
The project is located within the West Gateway Subarea, which is located outside of the Downtown, Midtown, Jackson Neighborhood, or Avenue 42 Subarea.
However, this project proposes to construct a new commercial pad within the existing “Desert Crossroads” shopping center, adjacent to the existing “Komar Desert Center” with nationally recognized retail, commercial fitness, and restaurant tenants, thereby expanding the built environment.
Goal LU-2: Active Places. Indio is a City with active and comfortable places that encourage social interaction and community gathering.
LU-2.6 Shade: Require the use of large shade trees or structures to provide comfortable environments during hot months.
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 621 of 883 The Applicant proposes to install five (5) shade trees over parking and queuing areas, and pedestrian pathways to provide shade on site. In addition, the building implements a shade structure at employee work areas at the drive-through window and pedestrian walk-up window. As part of the Conditions of Approval, the Final Landscape Plan shall provide shade trees along the pedestrian pathways at an average spacing not exceeding 35 feet. Together, the installation of shade structures and trees increases the amount of shaded areas on site and user comfort.
Goal LU-4: High-Quality Building Design. A beautiful city with a high-quality architecture and building design.
LU-4.1 Quality design. Use simple, urban building forms made with permanent materials with high quality detailing that stands the test of time.
The Project is proposing contemporary commercial architectural design with clean, modern lines and a combination of materials and colors for visual interest. The building has flat and arched roofs of varying heights creating a layered facade. The project incorporates materials and architectural finishes designed to complement one another for a cohesive project aesthetic. The primary surfaces feature smooth fiber cement paneling to model a brick design and HardiePlank paneling with wood texturing. The project is also proposing “Regal Blue” roof elements on all architecture, including monument sign, trash enclosure, and the primary drive through structure to give the building distinct, cohesive coloration.
LU-4.3 Building materials. Convey façade articulation through the strength, depth, and permanence of building materials. Thinner cladding materials, such as stucco, stone and masonry veneers, and wood or simulated wood, may be used when finished to appear as durable and authentic of the materials they simulate.
The Project is incorporating varying height roof lines creating articulation on the building. The primary surface material will be HardiePlank paneling in a light grey color with wood texturing with a secondary material of black and grey fiber cement paneling with brick texturing. For roofing, the project proposes “Regal Blue” aluminum shade structures and “Regal Blue” seam and parapet roofs. The proposed materials are as durable as the materials they simulate and convey a sense of permanence.
II. Standards Consistency
Consistency with applicable objective development standards and design standards and/or design guidelines adopted by the City Council.
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 622 of 883 On September 21, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 10326 adopting the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. The following identifies land use regulations and development standards relevant and applicable to the Project and makes findings of fact regarding if and how the Project complies with them:
Highway 111 Corridor Specific (111 CSP) Plan Compliance:
Section 2.1: Vision for the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan Section 2.1 states that "The Highway 111 Corridor will be transformed from a suburban highway commercial strip, into a lively, dynamic center of social, 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 7Brew project is being evaluated for consistency with applicable provisions of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan (111 CSP) and the approved Master Planned Development (MPD) Permit. Although drive-throughs are not part of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan’s vision to create a pedestrian-friendly, mixeduse environment, they are permitted as Limited Land Uses within Subarea 1 with approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the City Council.
Section 2.3.1 West Gateway
The project site is located within the West Gateway of the corridor which ranges from the western city limits - just west of Jefferson St - to the west edge of the “Scurve” of 111, where Clinton St and Dr Carreon Blvd intersect Highway 111. The West Gateway Segment of the Corridor is flanked by large vacant or underdeveloped parcels, who’s identity and character may be defined by the new, palm-lined Highway 111 and fine new community activity centers offering retail, restaurant, hospitality, entertainment and recreation, along with a wide array of new housing options within the mixed-use centers and surrounding new and existing neighborhoods.
Section 3 Development Standards & Guidelines
Section 3.1.C.3 (Relationship to Indio Municipal Code and Unified Development Code) specifies that this Chapter relies on several existing procedural requirements of the Indio Municipal Code (IMC) and/or Unified Development Code (UDC), where noted. In cases where the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan is silent, the requirements of the Indio Municipal Code or Unified Development Code shall apply (as prescribed in those documents). In cases where there is conflict between the requirements of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan and those of the Municipal Code or Unified Development Code, the requirements of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan shall supersede.
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 623 of 883 Section 3.2.G.3.A Council Approval Required Section
3.2.G.3.A (Council Approval Required) of the Specific Plan specifies that some Limited Land Uses require additional consideration and require City Council approval. This includes fueling stations, car washes and any use including a vehicular drive-through. As a drive through is a major component of the 7Brew project, City Council is required. Table 3.4-2 Subareas by Parcel APN Pursuant to Figure 3.4-1 of the Specific Plan, the project site is located within Subarea 1 and has been assigned regulatory designations consisting of Mixed-Use Corridor Zone and has also been assigned a Master Planned Design Overlay designation.
Section 3.4.C.1 Master Planned Design (MPD) Overlay
Pursuant to Section 3.4.C.1 of the Specific Plan, the Master Planned Design Overlay defines specific parcels or areas within the 111 CSP area that due to their size and/or location, require an approved Master Planned Development (MPD) Permit. While the project site is within the Master Planned Design Overlay, the parcel is below 4-acres in size. Staff determined that because the parcel does not meet all requirements triggering the Master Planned Design Review, the Master Planned Design Permit is not required.
Section 3.4.C.2 Mixed-Use Corridor (MU-C) Zone
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. The proposed Project includes a drive through restaurant with walk up pedestrian service together with pedestrian walkways, landscaping improvement, coordinated architectural design, and circulation improvements, intended to support reinvestment and redevelopment within the Highway 111 corridor.
Section 3.5.C Supporting Findings for Approved Land Uses Required Findings for CUP Approvals:
1. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zone and complies with all other applicable provisions of this Code and all other titles of the Municipal Code.
The project site is zoned Mixed-Use Corridor (MU-C) under the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. Limited Land Uses such as drive-through restaurants
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 624 of 883 require a Conditional Use Permit and are approved by the City Council (PLANCUP-26-0011). All other applicable provisions, including parking, signage, and building code requirements, have been addressed through this discretionary review and are subject to conditions of approval.
2. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and Any applicable Specific Plan
The project is consistent with the City of Indio General Plan 2040 designations of Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN), as well as the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. Although drive-throughs are not part of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan’s vision to create a pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use environment, they are permitted as Limited Land Uses within Subarea 1 with approval of a CUP by the City Council. The proposed use supports the intent of the Highway 111 Corridor by transforming into a lively mixed-use area with retail, commercial, and pedestrianoriented corridors. The project promotes goals LU-1, LU-2, and LU-4 of the General Plan, which call for a defined citywide urban structure, comfortable spaces, and high-quality building designs.
3. The proposed use will not be adverse to the public health, safety, or general welfare of the community, nor detrimental to surrounding properties or improvements.
The site is located in an established urban area with adequate vehicle, pedestrian, emergency access, and utility services. The proposed development meet all health and safety standards through conditions of approval, including stormwater retention, landscaping, and infrastructure improvements. The project is not located near sensitive habitat or geologic constraints. All improvements are designed to protect public health and safety, and the project is not expected to cause harm to surrounding properties or the community.
4. The proposed use complies with any design or development standards applicable to the zoning district or the use in question unless waived or modified pursuant to the provisions of this Code.
While the project includes variations such as single-story buildings below the MU-C minimum height requirement, these can be approved under the Limited Land Use provisions (Section 3.14) to facilitate near-term economic revitalization. The project complies with development standards for floor area ratio, building height (within the exceptions), parking, building placement (within the exceptions), signage (with modification requested), and site design. Certain minor deviations, such as front setback distances for some pads, are approved pursuant to CUP and Limited Land Use provisions.
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 625 of 883 Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan Section 3.5.C Supporting Findings for Approved Land Uses
A. That the proposed use will not become a public nuisance, resulting in disturbances of the peace, illegal drug activity including sales or possession thereof, public drunkenness, drinking in public, harassment of passersby, gambling, prostitution, public urination, curfew violations, theft, assaults, batteries, acts of vandalism, illegal parking, excessive littering, excessive noise (particularly between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.), noxious smells or fumes, lewd conduct, or frequent police detention, citations or arrests, or any other activity declared by the City to be a public nuisance determined by California law to be public nuisance.
The proposed Project consists of one (1) drive through. The proposed use is a customary commercial activity and is not inherently associated with the nuisance activities identified in this finding. The Project has been designed with defined vehicular circulation, drive-through queuing areas, pedestrian pathways, parking, site lighting, landscaping, and trash enclosures intended to support safe and orderly operation.
The tenant will remain responsible for maintaining the buildings, parking areas, drive-through lanes, landscaping, sidewalks, and other common areas in a clean and orderly condition. Compliance with the applicable conditions of approval, City regulations, business-license requirements, noise standards, propertymaintenance requirements, and public-safety regulations will be required throughout operation of the Project. Accordingly, the proposed uses are not anticipated to result in disturbances of the peace, illegal activities, excessive littering, unlawful parking, vandalism, or other conditions constituting a public nuisance.
B. That the proposed use will not generate noise, light, glare, dust, noxious odors or other similar adverse effects on surrounding uses. For the purposes of this requirement, “surrounding uses” shall include occupants of neighboring buildings, occupants of other floors within the same building, and pedestrians passing along the sidewalk in front of the subject property.
The proposed project is located within an established commercial center and are separated from surrounding properties by parking areas, drive aisles, landscaped setbacks, public streets, and existing commercial development. Potential operational noise will primarily consist of vehicle movements, drive-through ordering equipment, mechanical equipment, and ordinary restaurant activity. The Project is required to comply with the City’s applicable noise standards, and drive through speakers and other equipment must be installed and operated so that noise does not create an adverse effect on surrounding uses.
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 626 of 883 The Project includes site lighting and building-mounted lighting designed to provide visibility for customers and employees while limiting light spill and glare onto adjoining properties and public rights-of-way. Rooftop mechanical equipment will be screened, and restaurant exhaust and mechanical systems will be subject to applicable building, mechanical, and air-quality requirements. Construction-related dust and noise will be temporary and regulated through applicable City requirements and conditions of approval. With implementation of these requirements, the Project is not anticipated to generate excessive noise, light, glare, dust, noxious odors, or similar adverse effects.
C. By the design and construction of buildings and by hours of operation of the subject use, noise that would be disruptive to residents of dwellings beside or above the proposed use shall not be permitted between the hours of 11:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M.
No residential dwelling units are located within, beside, or above the proposed commercial building. The nearest parcel with residential uses is located approximately 660 feet away from the project site located at 47555 Jefferson Street, known as “Arroyo Crossing.” The Project consists of a detached, singlestory, 910 square foot drive through building within the existing Desert Crossroads commercial center. The building design, separation from residential uses, placement of drivethrough lanes, and intervening commercial development reduce the potential for nighttime operational noise to affect residential properties. All uses will remain subject to the City’s applicable noise standards and conditions of approval during all hours of operation, including the period between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Therefore, the proposed uses are not anticipated to create disruptive nighttime noise affecting residential dwellings.
D. That the proposed use will not generate access and parking requirements in excess of those provided for Section 3.12.
The Project provides off-street parking, drive-through queuing, pedestrian circulation, and vehicular access designed to serve a quick-service restaurant with pedestrian take-out in accordance with Section 3.12 of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. The site plan provides two (2) designated drive-through lanes and vehicle-stacking areas for each building, separate from the primary drive aisles and parking spaces, to reduce interference with on-site circulation.
Access is provided through the existing Desert Crossroads circulation system and existing connections to Highway 111.
The proposed parking meets parking requirements of the specific plan and drive-through stacking have been evaluated as part of the Planning Review and Conditional Use Permit applications. Compliance with the applicable parking, loading, accessible-parking, and drive-through queuing requirements will be required through the approved plans and conditions of approval. Accordingly,
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 627 of 883 the proposed uses are not anticipated to generate access or parking demands in excess of the facilities provided pursuant to Section 3.12.
E. That perceived privacy and/or security requirements of the proposed use will not lead building users to maintain rarely opened opaque window coverings on street-facing windows, nor to routinely utilize rear or side entries rather than street-facing front doors as the primary means of access and egress to the building.
The proposed building is designed to provide walk up pedestrian service through an access door on the north elevation and drive through service through two (2) access doors on the south elevation. The project does not allow public access into the building and does not require the level of privacy or security that would ordinarily result in permanently covered storefront windows.
The building elevations incorporate substantial storefront glazing along east elevation, allowing visibility between the employee work areas and adjacent pedestrian areas. The proposed 7Brew restaurant is not proposing public access to interior areas during operating hours, and window coverings may be necessary for glare control, energy efficiency, or operational purposes.
F. That the ground floor rooms adjacent to the street frontage will be occupied during much of the day and occupied and/or lighted during most evenings.
The Project consists of a single-story drive through restaurant containing employee workstations, storage areas, and an employee-only restroom.
Employee workstations will remain occupied and illuminated during operating hours.
i. For all retail, restaurant and indoor recreational uses, display windows shall not “wall off” views into retail interior spaces, and the interiors of dining rooms and activity rooms shall be clearly visible to passing pedestrians.
The drive through restaurant building incorporates storefront glazing along the east elevation, adjacent to vehicle and pedestrian order pick up areas. The glazing is intended to preserve views into active interior spaces and will not be designed or operated as an opaque display wall that prevents visual connection between the building interiors and adjacent pedestrian areas. Covered order and pick up areas, architectural canopies, and pedestrian pathways further support activity and visibility around the restaurant buildings. ii. For office uses, front rooms should include lobbies, waiting areas, and office spaces in which window blinds are typically open.
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 628 of 883 This finding is not applicable. The proposed Project does not include office uses.
iii. For residential uses, units should be configured such that public realmfacing rooms include living rooms and dining rooms, and should not include bathrooms, closets and other uninhabited spaces.
This finding is not applicable. The proposed Project does not include residential dwelling units.
5. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity are compatible with the existing and reasonably foreseeable future land uses in the vicinity.
The project is located in a mixed-use corridor with adjacent vacant and commercial uses, all consistent with the General Plan and Specific Plan land use designations. The development’s scale, building height, and use are compatible with the existing surrounding neighborhoods and support planned future mixed-use growth. The project maintains compatibility by incorporating pedestrian pathways, landscaping, and appropriate building articulation, without disrupting existing uses or community character.
6. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of use being proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints.
The site consists of one vacant parcels totaling approximately 0.81 acres, with no significant topographic or geologic constraints. Access is available via existing driveways from Highway 111 and on-site circulation as part of the “Desert Crossroads” shopping center. The site can be served by existing utilities (water, sewer, stormwater) as confirmed by city departments. The proposed densities and building sizes are within the allowable floor area ratios and height requirements (with conditional use permit exceptions). Stormwater management has been conditioned into the project and landscape plans are in place to support the development sustainably.
Section 3.5 Allowed Uses
Pursuant to 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) of the Specific Plan specifies Drive Through Restaurants in the Mixed Use Corridor Zone are permissible through a Conditional Use Permit granted by
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 629 of 883 the City Council. This table provides a discretionary pathway for Limited Land Uses which include any drive through by requiring a Conditional Use permit approved by the City Council.
Section 3.6.A.2.a
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 1. Figure
3.6-1 identifies required and recommended connections through the project site. Specifically, recommended connections are shown in north/south orientations in the eastern portion of the site and no required connections exist. 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. The 7Brew project will gain access from existing on-site circulation from the Desert Crossroads Center. On-site circulation consists of two (2) drive through lanes and one (1), one-way access lane for parking access. Pedestrian circulation will be provided through the western portion of the project site along an access road and connecting Highway 111 to the anchor tenant of the Desert Crossroads center for the required connections element of this section and the Conceptual Connectivity Plan.
Pursuant to Section 3.6.C.1/Table 3.6.3 (Maximum Block Size), the maximum block perimeter for the Mixed Use Corridor zone and the Neighborhood General 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 Car-less 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 rightof-way-regardless of ownership. The 7Brew project site is 168 feet long and abuts a publicly accessible access road. The project as proposed does not exceed the linear feet required for the installation of new subarea connectivity facilities and therefore meets this requirement.
Section 3.7 Public Realm Standards
Section 3.7 outlines requirements for public realm connections. This includes street improvements, public frontage standards, and public open space standards. Conditions of approval limit the public frontage improvements to
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 630 of 883 only repair curb, sidewalk, gutter, and landscaping damaged during the construction of all on-site improvements and all structures.
On February 19, 2019, Resolution No. 1885 was approved by the Planning Commission for Tentative Parcel Map 37638 (Case No. TPM-18-11-397) to subdivide 7.12 acres of land into four parcels. The conditions of approval for Resolution No. 1885 required the applicant (Terra Nova Planning & Research on behalf of the Barclay Group) to submit Street Improvement & Lighting Plans and Landscape & Irrigation Plans as part of the Desert Crossroads Project. As such, the City Engineer is only requiring the installation of a sidewalk along the westerly property line as part of the Conditions of Approval. The installation of a sidewalk at this location is intended to complete the existing sidewalk from Highway 111 to the existing sidewalk within the “Desert Crossroads” shopping center.
Section 3.8 Building Placement and Access
Section 3.8 (Building Placement and Access) and more specifically Section
3.8.B.1 specifies standards to ensure that the 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 provided buildings conform to the requirements of the Section 3.14 regulating Limited Land Uses. Existing site conditions prohibit the siting of structures fronting Highway 111 due to a public utility easement parallel to Highway 111. The building as proposed sits approximately 43 feet from the property line fronting Highway 111 and approximately 18 feet from the public utility easement. The structure proposes an integrated shade structure, the closest structural point of which is approximately 28 feet from the property line fronting Highway 111 and 3 feet from the Public Utility Easement. The proposed building length for the drivethrough restaurant is approximately 59 feet. There is only one building proposed, and therefore, the project site complies with the specified building setback requirements.
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 631 of 883 Section 3.9 Building Height
Pursuant to 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. The Mixed-Use Corridor zone has a minimum height of 3 stories or 21’ high and a maximum height of 6 stories. Building height for the drive-through restaurant is 19 feet, 2 inches, which does not comply with the height requirements in the Mixed-Use Corridor zone. However, Section 3.14 explicitly allows single-story commercial buildings with a minimum height of 16 feet as part of the Limited Land Use (LLU) provisions to accommodate near-term investment that contributes to corridor revitalization, which is less than the proposed height of 19 feet, 2 inches. Subarea 1 of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan allows for up to three (3) Limited Land Uses. The proposed project would be the first Limited Land Use approved within Subarea 1. The proposed building is a single-story with an overall height of approximately 19 feet, 2 inches, featuring parapet walls, seam roofing, and architectural treatments that enhance the building’s visual presence along the street. While this height does not meet the standard MU-C minimum height requirement, it is compliant under the Limited Land Use provisions and is designed to ensure the buildings integrate well into the existing commercial context while supporting phased corridor transformation.
Section 3.10 Facades and Frontages
Pursuant to Section 3.10 (Facades and Frontages) of the Specific Plan specifies standards to ensure that large-scale ("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. In addition, section 3.10 requires commercial buildings along Highway 111 to incorporate street-facing facades with architectural articulation, transparency, and pedestrian orientation. For Limited Land Uses, Section 3.14, permits primary entrances to face away from the street, provided the street-facing façade maintains the appearance of a front elevation
For the proposed project, the drive through tenant “7Brew” proposes to serve customers in vehicles on the interior of the project site. The applicant proposes to service pedestrian customers through a walk-up window facing Highway 111. The project does not provide entrances designed for pedestrian access, however, through the provision of shade structures above order and pickup areas, the project addresses the street. These features collectively ensure that the façade maintains a visually attractive appearance as required for Limited Land Uses.
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 632 of 883 Section 3.11 Private Signage
Section 3.11 (Private Signage) of the Specific plan regulates the design, size, placement, and approval of private signage within the MU-C zoning district.
The Specific Plan identifies certain sign types that are permitted by right; however, Section 3.11.A.2 states that any sign type not expressly Page 12 of 105 listed and permitted by right may only be approved by the Planning Commission through Design Review (Planning Review Discretionary). The 7Brew project has included a sign exhibit along with their conceptual plans with standards for reviewing wall-mounted signs for the project. Pursuant to Section 3.11.A.2, the Planning Review Discretionary process allows the Planning Commission to evaluate the proposed sign packet and its contents consistency with the intent of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan, including corridor aesthetics, visual compatibility, and protection of the public realm.
The following standards are applicable to all private signage within the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan:
a. Signs shall not obscure building entrances, cornices, columns, or other prominent architectural elements.
As proposed, monument and window signs do not obstruct
buildings’ entrances, architectural features, or prominent design elements of the new commercial building and therefore meets this standard.
b. A maximum of three allowed sign types shall be allowed on a building or massing increment unless stated otherwise.
The applicant is proposing three sign types (wall sign, monument sign, and digital menu board) in accordance with the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan Sections 3.11.C.1.a and 3.11.C.1.b. While the maximum height for tenant signs generally remains consistent with the standards, an exception is requested for one (1) cabinet sign on the east elevation, increasing the allowable size from 30 inches high to 72 inches and one (1) channel letter sign on the south elevation, increasing the allowable size from 30 inches to 38 inches. Conditions of approval reduce the requested size, by requiring the applicant maintain a minimum of twelve (12) inches from any roofline, roof edge, aluminum canopy, or electrical room.
Monument signs are permitted to be 7 feet high and 10 feet wide.
The applicant is proposing a monument sign of six (6) feet tall and five (5) feet, three (3) inches wide. The monument signs comply with the maximum size signs allowed in the Highway 111 Corridor
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 633 of 883 Specific Plan and conditions of approval require compliance with the approved plans or the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan as applicable.
c. Phone numbers and email addresses shall be prohibited from being displayed on any of the allowed sign types, with the exception of front yard signs.
The applicant is not proposing to display phone numbers and/or email addresses. Conditions of approval will prohibit the display of phone numbers and email addresses for the project.
d. Sign lighting shall be designed to minimize light and glare on surrounding rights-of-way and properties.
The applicant has submitted photometric plans for onsite lighting and signage. As proposed, the photometric plans comply with City requirements for lighting limits to the property line and have been conditioned to comply with applicable lighting standards. e. Directory signs are small wall signs located at pedestrian eye level and intended to identify multiple tenants within a building or complex.
The project comprises of one (1), single-tenant drive-through restaurant without proposed directory signage. However, any future signs not included in this entitlement will be reviewed following the standards of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan.
f. Internal illuminated “Cabinet Signs” and/or “channel letters” shall be prohibited for all signage.
All proposed wall mounted signage consists of halo lit channel letter signs or cabinets. Conditions of approval require all illuminated signs be externally illuminated or halo lit, and as such, the project complies with this requirement.
Section 3.12 Parking
Pursuant to 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. Table 3.12-1 specifies the minimum
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 634 of 883 parking requirements for retail, office, residential and restaurant uses. For restaurants, the table requires installation of 0.5 parking spaces per every 4 seats. The project does not provide seating for customers, requiring a total of zero (0) parking spaces. However, pursuant to section 3.14.B.1.g (Parking and Circulation), the visual impact of parking installed in Limited Land Uses shall be mitigated consistent with the standards outlined in Unified Development Code section 3.03 (Parking and Loading). Pursuant to Table
3.03.05-1 (Required Number of Vehicle Parking Spaces), a total of six (6) spaces are required per 1,000 square feet of dine in or take-out restaurants.
While the 7Brew restaurant primarily serves as a drive through restaurant, the project offers take-out through the provision of walk-up pedestrian service.
The project proposes 910 gross square feet, including storage areas, restrooms, and employee workstations. As such, the project is required to provide 5.46 parking spaces, rounded to a total of five (5) required parking spaces. The project proposes to have 9 stalls, including one (1) ADA accessible stall which meets and exceeds the minimum requirements.
Section 3.13 Site Design
Pursuant to Section 3.13 (Site Design) specifies standards for the design and location of various site design elements for the purpose of the health, safety, and general welfare of the immediate occupants of each building, and for the neighborhood. This section addresses utility access and equipment, mechanical and electrical equipment, telecommunication devices, wet utilities, service entrances and waste disposal areas, fence and wall heights, entrance arbors, lighting, landscaping, stormwater and open space. The applicant has submitted a landscape plan with their submittal packet and a condition of approval requiring evidence on the final landscape plan submitted for administrative review and approval will be required. Additionally, the project proposes to provide a utility room/closet on the west elevation so that these services shall be in inconspicuous locations and thoroughly screened from public view. Furthermore, the project is conditioned to provide and meet the requirements of this Section.
Section 3.14 Limited Uses in the MU-C Zone
Limited Land Uses are regulated pursuant to Section 3.14 (Limited Uses in the MU-C Zone) within the boundaries of the Specific Plan. Section 3.14.2.a-i address applicability of the standards in this Section including but not limited to applying only to properties in the Mixed Use Corridor zone, limited land uses consisting of freestanding single-use (pad) commercial buildings, drivethrough service facilities, office/light industrial buildings, adaptive re-use of existing commercial/industrial buildings and parking lots that occupy greater percentages of one or more street frontages than prescribed by the standards of Sections 3.8 and 3.12. This provision allows for the development of
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 635 of 883 freestanding single-story commercial buildings and drive-throughs in the Mixed-Use Corridor (MU-C) zone to support interim economic reinvestment, even if such development does not meet all MU-C form-based standards, including minimum building height or complete frontage buildout. The proposed development activates a vacant parcel, introduces new commercial activity, enhances the corridor’s visual character through landscaping and architectural design features, and aligns with the Specific Plan’s intent to encourage short-term reinvestment while preserving long-term planning goals.
According to Table 3.14-1, Subarea 1 permits up to three (3) Limited Land Use approvals. Based on current records, no other Limited Land Use approvals have been issued within Subarea 1, and this project would represent one of the maximum of three (3) allowed. The project meets the physical and design criteria for a Limited Land Use and is being processed through Planning Review consistent with the Specific Plan’s procedures.
In addition to General Plan and Zoning compliance, Section 6.04.03 (Planning Review) of the Unified Development Code, and subject to state law, the Planning Commission must make the following findings for design review approval
III. Overall Function and Design
The project design is appropriate to the function of the project and will provide an attractive and comfortable environment for occupants, visitors, and the general community. The overall design of the project, including its scale, massing, site plan, exterior design, and landscaping, will enhance the appearance and features of the project site and surrounding natural and built environment.
The project is designed as a small scale drive through restaurant with shade structures over pedestrian ordering areas and over vehicle order pick up areas.
Shade structure canopies and columns incorporate “regal blue” finishing used as part of the building fascia, visually integrating the shade structures into the building through the use of color. The structure proposes to provide visual interest through the use of varied roof lines including parapet roofs, vertical projections, and a curved standing steam roof. At the highest point, the standing seam roof reaches 19 feet and 2 inches before curving downwards to about 14 feet and 6 inches. Along the curve, the structure utilizes “regal blue” finishes, consistent with the coloration of the shade structure. The building continues with a “regal blue” parapet roof for approximately 40 feet and 3 inches at 12 feet and four inches high. At the westernmost elevation, the structure ends with a vertical projection to approximately 16 feet high. This vertical projection incorporates “Black Onyx” concrete paneling, further increasing the visual interest through the use of color, material, and texture.
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 636 of 883 The 910 square foot building is designed to provide approximately 704 square feet of employee workstations, 66 square feet of and employee-only restroom, 164 square feet for a mechanical access room, and 140 square feet for the restaurant’s walk-in refrigerator. Access to the building is restricted to employees only, with walk-up service provided to pedestrians. Primary staff entrances used for providing food service to drive-up vehicles are constructed with built-in glazing, while a secondary staff entry is provided without glazing on the north elevation. The secondary entrance takes access to restaurant storage areas and does not provide glazing, but rather, is a solid black color to closely match the black concrete tile siding incorporated throughout the building. This design ensures visitors can visually distinguish between customer areas and employee areas, improving pedestrian circulation without the need for signage.
Two (2) one-way drive through lanes are provided for vehicle queuing, with a third “pass through” lane provided for visitors to access on-site parking spaces.
As traffic flows through the site in one direction, the project proposes to install chevron arrow signs on the ground in addition to the words “DO NOT ENTER” where the one-way vehicle path of travel intersects with the site access point.
Along the drive-through lanes, landscaping is installed in order to reduce glare from vehicle headlights onto Highway 111. In addition, the project provides a separate pedestrian path along the eastern and western edges of the project site, connecting employee work stations with the trash enclosure, as well as the pedestrians to the “EOS” project site. Trash enclosures are designed to provide separate pedestrian access to the trash enclosure, allowing employees to access the refuse and recycling areas without the need of stepping into vehicle circulation areas.
Through the use of architectural features to create visual interest, visually distinguish customer and employee areas, and the installation of pedestrian paths, it can be seen that the project design is functional and attractive.
IV. Site Design
Structures within the development and between the structures and the site relate to one another. Proposed structures and related site development improvements (e.g., access, parking, grading, etc.) relate and connect to existing development in the vicinity. The site is designed to promote efficient circulation and encourage a range of transportation modes by providing safe and convenient routes for pedestrians and cyclists. Projects incorporate necessary utilities and service areas (e.g., refuse and recycling enclosures) such that they are compatible with the overall design of the project and minimize visual impacts.
While the project site consists of one proposed 910 square foot drive through building, the parcel is part of a larger shopping center known as “Desert Crossroads.” The “Desert Crossroads” Shopping Center consists of an anchor tenant and service station within the City of Indio. Adjacent to the project site, the
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 637 of 883 “Komar Desert Center” within the City of La Quinta consists of existing retail and restaurant tenants. Both shopping centers share right in-right out access connecting to Highway 111 and along the border of the Cities of Indio and La Quinta. As proposed, the project would include sidewalk improvements from the northernmost portion of the parcel to the southernmost portion of the parcel along the western edge of the project site. This would connect an existing sidewalk from the Desert Crossroads’ anchor tenant to Highway 111 and improve pedestrian access within the existing shopping center. In addition, pedestrian access is provided from Highway 111 to the walkup pedestrian window provided as part of the “7-Brew” project and the “7Brew” trash enclosure.
The project proposes to install nine (9) parking stalls, including one (1) Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible parking stall at the center of the project site. All parking stalls are angled to ensure vehicles exiting the parking spaces do not traverse the site counter to the direction of oneway traffic. Visitors the site may access the pedestrian walk-up window from the parking stalls via the pedestrian walkway on the east of the project site or by following the ADA path of travel from the accessible parking stall to the building.
The site’s trash enclosure is located on the south-eastern portion of the project site. As the project proposes one lane, one-way circulation through the site, placement of the trash enclosure in this location allows collection of refuse, recycling, and organics without interfering with on or off-site circulation. The project also provides a separate pedestrian gate for employees to access the trash enclosure, allowing employees to dispose of waste without needing to enter vehicle circulation areas. To ensure visual consistency with the project site, the trash enclosure will be constructed with Black Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) block wall to match the “Black Onyx” concrete tile utilized on the drive through restaurant structure. In addition, the trash enclosure proposes to use a blue metal roof to match the blue used as roof accents.
Through the integration of pedestrian facilities the project’s site design relates to the surrounding commercial uses. Through the design and placement of the trash enclosure, and integration of electrical rooms for visual screening, the project site relates to itself through the use of consistent architectural details.
V. Building Design
Buildings are designed to mediate scale, massing, and bulk, reflect a human scale design, and enhance the pedestrian experience through building modulation and facade articulation treatments. The project architecture is harmoniously integrated internally and in relation to the architecture in the vicinity in terms of colors and materials, scale, and building design. The design is sensitive to and compatible with historic and low-density or sensitive uses in the vicinity.
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 638 of 883 The proposed 7Brew restaurant uses consistent architectural materials (including White HardiPlank, “Black Onyx” Concrete Tile, “regal blue” roof trim), varied rooflines, and decorative detailing. While the project is designed as a drivethrough restaurant, human scale design is incorporated through the implementation of a walk up pedestrian window with a shaded waiting area provided by a “regal blue” aluminum shade structure. Accessory structures, including trash enclosures and freestanding monument sign incorporate design elements consistent with the project site, including the use of regal blue roof trim and black Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) block wall utilized in the trash enclosure, utilizing colors and materials used elsewhere on site, and the use of blue roof trim on the free-standing monument sign.
VI. Streetscape
The design of streetscapes, including street trees, lighting, and pedestrian furniture, is consistent with the intended character of the area.
On February 19, 2019, Resolution No. 1885 was approved by the Planning Commission for Tentative Parcel Map 37638 (Case No. TPM-18-11-397) to subdivide 7.12 acres of land into four parcels. The conditions of approval for Resolution No. 1885 required the applicant (Terra Nova Planning & Research on behalf of the Barclay Group) to submit Street Improvement & Lighting Plans and Landscape & Irrigation Plans as part of the Desert Crossroads Project. As such, the City Engineer is only requiring the installation of a sidewalk along the westerly property line as part of the Conditions of Approval. The installation of a sidewalk at this location is intended to complete the existing sidewalk from Highway 111 to the existing sidewalk within the “Desert Crossroads” shopping center.
The project proposes to install an additional drive through restaurant in an existing shopping center. The proposed landscaping is consistent with the surrounding commercial areas through the provision of trees and shrubbery around the perimeter of the project site. Adjacent retail and commercial uses have existing landscaping installed in largely the same manner.
In addition, conditions of approval require the applicant to install four (4) palm trees fronting Highway 111 to match landscaping installed in the Median of Highway 111. The long-term vision for the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan is to provide palm-lined Highway 111 Corridor in the East and West Gateways to the City. Through the conditions of approval, the project meets the long term vision of the corridor and enhances the streetscape.
VII. Parking
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 639 of 883 Parking areas are designed and developed to provide adequate parking, buffer surrounding land uses, compliment pedestrian-oriented development, enhance the environmental quality of the site (e.g., by minimizing stormwater run-off and the heat-island effect), and achieve a safe, efficient, and harmonious development. Parking areas are properly sited, designed, and screened to minimize the impacts of parking and vehicles on the pedestrian experience.
The project proposes to install 9 parking spaces, including one ADA accessible parking stall. Parking areas are screened from Highway 111 through the installation of landscaping around the perimeter of the project site and building placement between the parking area and Highway 111. In addition, the parking area provides three trees, to provide shade over parking areas. All trees provided are 24 inch box size and will provide shade for four (4) of the total nine (9) parking spaces. The conditions of approval require the installation of on-site water retention. Shade and transpiration from trees have been found to reduce the Urban Heat Island Effect. Urban heat-island effect reduction and on-site water retention will serve to enhance the environmental quality of the site.
The project additionally proposes to provide pedestrian access on the North, East, and West portions of the project site, allowing pedestrians to navigate the site without interference from automobile traffic. The western sidewalk connects Highway 111 to an existing sidewalk to the anchor tenant in the Desert Crossroads commercial center. In addition, the project will provide direct pedestrian access from Highway 111 to walk-up ordering facilities. Through separation of pedestrian facilities, enhanced connection, and provision of walk-up ordering facilities, the impact of automobile facilities is minimized.
VIII. Screening and Fencing/Walls
Fences, walls, and other visual screening elements are made of high-quality materials, add visual interest, are compatible with the character of surrounding development, and help community members differentiate between public and private property. Appropriate screening is provided between incompatible uses.
Pursuant to section 3.14.C of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan, drivethrough lanes adjacent to the building shall be screened from the Highway 111 Corridor through the installation of 3 foot to 4 foot high walls, building siting, or the installation of landscaping. Drive through queuing will be screened from the Highway 111 right-of-way through building placement and landscaping. The “7Brew” building will be placed between the queuing area and Highway 111. In addition, the applicant proposes to install a variety of shrubbery around the perimeter of the parking lot and drive through queuing areas, including forty-two (42) Rhaphiolepsis Indica ‘Clara’ (Clara Indian Hawthorn) and thirty-one (31) Hesperaloe Parviflora (Red Yucca). Clara Indian Hawthorn can grow three (3) to four (4) feet high and Red Yucca can grow up to three (3) feet high, according to
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 640 of 883 Coachella Valley Water District’s Lush and Efficient Landscape Gardening in the Coachella Valley, consistent with the screening requirements of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. While the landscaping will be required to be updated as described in section X (Landscaping) of the Planning Review Discretionary Findings, the conditions of approval require landscape plan to be updated to be consistent with all landscaping requirements of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan and requires landscaping to be maintained, with any dead, diseased, or dying plantings to be replaced within 30 days, ensuring all screening is maintained. Landscaping is designed consistently with surrounding commercial uses through placement of trees in parking areas and trees and shrubbery on the project perimeter. While conditions of approval require the proposed plant species to change, conditions of approval also require screening to be provided between Highway 111 and the drive-through queuing lanes.
In addition to the screening of drive through queuing lanes, the applicant proposes to install a two foot deep by three feet wide electrical shed for the screening of electrical facilities. This electrical shed has been conditioned to utilize building materials that match the architectural detail of the building to reduce visual clutter.
Through the installation of landscape screening and an electrical shed, all screening is appropriately designed for the project site.
IX. Lighting
Lighting and lighting fixtures are designed to complement buildings, be of appropriate scale, provide adequate light over walkways and parking areas to create a sense of pedestrian safety, and avoid creating glare.
The applicant has provided photometric plans of the project site, detailing the brightness of on-site lighting and brightness at the property line. As designed, the project proposes to provide two lights in parking areas, illuminated signage, and lighting built into shade structures canopies. Conditions of approval require lighting to be shielded, as well as establishes a maximum illuminance of 4.0 footcandles, consistent with both the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan and the Unified Development Code. Upon submittal of building permits, photometric plans will be reviewed for compliance with the conditions of approval.
X. Landscaping
Landscaping is designed to be compatible with and enhance the architectural character and features of the buildings on site, conserve water, provide buffers or screening, and help relate the building to the surrounding landscape.
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 641 of 883 The landscape design utilizes shrubbery and trees around the parking lot perimeter and within parking areas. The Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan section 3.13 requires all trees and plant material to be native to the Sonoran Desert or adaptive from regions with similar arid climates (such as the Mojave).
The Unified Development Code section 3.02.09 additionally requires all landscaping to be selected from the Coachella Valley Water Districts “Lush and Efficient Landscape Gardening in the Coachella Valley,” as well as establishes a minimum parking lot and street planting minimum size of24 inch box for trees and 5 gallons for shrubbery. The proposed plant palette, size, desert adaptiveness, and listing within the “Lush and Efficient” book is outlined below in “Table B”.

Conditions of approval require conformance with the standards of both the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan and, where silent, the Unified Development Code for landscaping. In addition, conditions of approval require the installation of additional landscaping, including four palm trees fronting Highway 111 to match existing landscaping in the Median of the project site, as well as an average of one shade tree every 35 feet along pedestrian pathways. As such, the final landscape plan has been conditioned to provide desert friendly landscaping that conserves water and provides screening.
XI. Consistency and Compatibility
Project details, materials, signage, and landscaping, are internally consistent, fully integrated with one another, and used in a manner that is visually consistent with the proposed architectural design.
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 642 of 883 The project proposes to utilize consistent materials and color schemes throughout the project site, including “Regal Blue” metal roofing, “Onyx Black” Concrete paneling and Concrete Masonry Units, and light grey walls on the drive through restaurant and monument sign. The use of a consistent color palette throughout the project site ensures visual consistency throughout the project.
XII. Public Art Component
Public art is provided in satisfaction of Chapter 3.06 Art in Public Places.
Chapter 3.06 of the Unified Development requires new non-residential projects to provide art, or be assessed an in-lieu fee at the time of building permit application. As this project does not provide public art, an in-lieu fee of one-half percent (0.005%) of the total building valuation, excluding land acquisition and off-street improvement costs, will automatically be assessed at the time building permit fees are calculated.
XIII. General Welfare
The project will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of the development site, or to the public health, safety or general welfare.
Conditions of approval mitigate the risk of harm to the public to an approvable level. Any damage to existing off-site improvements, including curb, gutter, and landscaping have been conditioned to be repaired to the original condition. All construction and grading must comply with PM10 standards to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, and all construction must occur within the times approved in Municipal Code section 151.160 (Permitted Work Hours), unless approved by the Community Development Director on a case-by case basis. These standards ensure noise and dust concerns are mitigated to the highest extent possible and that public improvements are returned to their original conditions after the end of construction

Attn: Community Development Planning Services Division
100 Civic Center Mall
Indio, CA 92201
Project: Proposed 7-Brew 79955 HWY 111 Indio, CA
Subj: CEQA Class 32 Exemption
We are writing on behalf of the proposed 7-Brew development within the city of Indio to reflect it qualifies for a Class 32 “Infill” exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15332 of the California Public Resources Code. Below is a brief summary of the project information, exemption criteria and justification for how the project meets said criteria to qualify for the requested exemption.
Project Description
The existing property is part of the Desert Crossroads commercial center which was approved by the city of Indio for sub-division per Parcel Map 37638 and subsequently recorded Sept. 30th, 2025.
The proposed 7-Brew will be located on Parcel 1 of said map comprising approximately 0.81 AC.
The original project was granted a Class 15 exemption (for Parcels 1, 2, 4 as vacant land and Parcel 3 as EOS Fitness.) In conjunction with the underlying map, grading plans were permitted for Parcel 3, EOS Fitness as the largest portion, and portions of Parcel 4. The work on Parcels 3 and 4 appear complete. Parcel 1 remains vacant pending approval and construction of the 7-Brew.
Class 32 Exemption Criteria
A class 32 CEQA exemption requires five criteria to be met:
a. The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations. b. The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
c. The project site has no value, as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. d. Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality
e. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
Class 32 Exemption Justification
a. The proposed project is part of Desert Crossroads previously determined to be compatible with MU-C zoning (compared to MUN zoning under Unified Development Code.)
b. The proposed development occurs within city limits of the City of Indio and consists of approximately 0.81 AC. The project is substantially surrounded by urban use: North is HWY 111 and a commercial center anchored by Home Depot, East is parcel 2 of Desert Crossroads commercial center, South is Parcel 3 of Desert Crossroads with EOS Fitness open for business, and West are various shops building of the larger Costco shopping center development.
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 679 of 883 2 c. Desert Crossroads had a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment which determined the site has been vacant land since the 1970s with some agricultural use in the 1940s – 1950s. In reviewing the historical site photos, the site appears to have been graded in the early 2000s and maintained as a stabilized vacant (no observable vegetation) level lot until commencing construction of the Desert Crossroads project. Given the longestablished history of vacant land and surrounding urbanization, there is no value as appreciable habitats for endangered, rare, or threatened species. d. The project site would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality not already analyzed and anticipated by the City’s General Plan and HWY 111 specific plan.
The site is immediately adjacent to HWY 111 and relatively minor site proposed construction. No large-scale grading operations are anticipated so traffic impact from construction is anticipated to be negligible.
Site construction will conform to all applicable city ordinance for working hours and noise
Agency erosion control measures will be implemented to minimize impact to air quality and sediment runoff during construction activities. The final project will result in a stabilized developed site and would be expected to yield improved air quality vs. the historic un-stabilized dirt lot. The final project will direct storm run-off into the site storm water quality features as identified in the Desert Crossroad Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) which the project is tributary to.
e. The site is within an area with established water, sewer, and electrical services provided by Imperial Irrigation District. The proposed project is part of the Desert Crossroads development and the 1st phase development of EOS Fitness constructed backbone storm drain and storm water quality features required by the center WQMP and Drainage report with stubs provided to the site for connection by the proposed 7-Brew.
Site has access to communications and is served by Police and Fire services.
Therefore, the proposed project is and/or can be adequately served by required utilities and public services.
Based on our review of the proposed project we believe the proposed development meets the established criteria and qualifies for a Class 32 CEQA exemption.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF INDIO, CALIFORNIA, HEREBY FINDS, DETERMINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Incorporation Of Recitals. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the recitals of this Resolution are true and correct and are incorporated into this Resolution by reference and constitute a material part of this Resolution.
SECTION 2. Environmental Evaluation. Section 6.03.06 of the Unified Development Code states that all “projects” as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) shall be reviewed for compliance with, or exemption from, CEQA and its Guidelines. Environmental review for the proposed project was conducted pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines). The City of Indio, acting as Lead Agency, determined that the proposed Project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with the Docusign Envelope ID: 38276103-8ABC-8A41-815E-94D81C7EB403
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 691 of 883 applicable zoning designation and regulations. The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.
Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The Project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 – In-fill Development. Accordingly, no further environmental documentation is required.
SECTION 3. Planning Review Findings. Based upon the evidence presented at the hearing, including the staff report, the Planning Commission hereby finds and determines the project complies with the necessary findings as required by the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan for Planning Case File No. PLAN-PRD-26-0027 as follows:
Pursuant to Indio Municipal Code Section 6.04.03, Planning Review, and subject to state law, the Planning Commission must make the following findings for design review approval:
I. General Plan Consistency.
Consistency with General Plan policies and any applicable specific plan, project master plan or development agreement.
The City of Indio General Plan Update 2040, adopted on September 18, 2019, breaks up land uses into major classes. These classes are Neighborhoods, Centers, Districts, and Public and Institutional (Table 3-2: General Plan Types, City of Indio GPU 2040). The Project site is located in the Neighborhoods major class within the General Plan. The Neighborhoods major class has seven subcategories. These subcategories are: Desert Estates (DE), Desert Estates Transition (DET), Suburban Neighborhood Low (SNL), Suburban Neighborhood High (SNH), Connected Neighborhood Low (CNL), Connected Neighborhood High (CNH), and Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN) (Table 3-2: General Plan Types, City of Indio GPU 2040). The project site is located in the Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN) subcategory.
The Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN) land use designation provides moderate-to-higher intensity neighborhood development that features a variety of multifamily housing choices and commercial uses along major streets. Primary uses in the MUN subcategory consist of but are not limited to single-family and multi-family residential uses, parks and recreation, mixed use (retail/office, retail/residential, office/residential, and neighborhoodserving retail), general commercial, services, entertainment, live/work, and office.
The 7Brew project will construct one drive-through coffee shop at approximately 910 square feet. The Project as proposed would be permitted within the Mixed Use Neighborhood land use designation and would be in compliance with the City of Indio General Plan 2040.
Docusign Envelope ID: 38276103-8ABC-8A41-815E-94D81C7EB403
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 692 of 883 The General Plan 2040 contains goals and policies that are relevant to the Project. The following identifies these goals and policies and makes findings of fact regarding if and how the Project complies with them:
Goal LU-1: Citywide Urban Structure. An urban structure that enhances the quality of life of residents, meets the community’s vision for the future, and weaves new growth area together with established Indio neighborhoods.
LU-1.3: Contiguous Development. When development occurs outside the Downtown, Midtown, and existing central neighborhoods, locate new development adjacent to Indio’s built environment to create a contiguous expansion of the City.
The project is located within the West Gateway Subarea, which is located outside of the Downtown, Midtown, Jackson Neighborhood, or Avenue 42 Subarea. However, this project proposes to construct a new commercial pad within the existing “Desert Crossroads” shopping center, adjacent to the existing “Komar Desert Center” with nationally recognized retail, commercial fitness, and restaurant tenants, thereby expanding the built environment.
Goal LU-2: Active Places. Indio is a City with active and comfortable places that encourage social interaction and community gathering.
LU-2.6 Shade: Require the use of large shade trees or structures to provide comfortable environments during hot months.
The Applicant proposes to install five (5) shade trees over parking and queuing areas, and pedestrian pathways to provide shade on site. In addition, the building implements a shade structure at employee work areas at the drive-through window and pedestrian walk-up window. Together, the installation of shade structures and trees increases the amount of shaded areas on site and user comfort.
Goal LU-4: High-Quality Building Design. A beautiful city with a high-quality architecture and building design.
LU-4.1 Quality design. Use simple, urban building forms made with permanent materials with high quality detailing that stands the test of time.
The Project is proposing contemporary commercial architectural design with clean, modern lines and a combination of materials and colors for visual interest. The building has flat and arched roofs of varying heights creating a layered facade. The project incorporates materials and architectural finishes designed to complement one another for a cohesive project aesthetic. The primary surfaces feature smooth fiber cement paneling to model a brick design and HardiePlank paneling with wood texturing. The project is also proposing “Regal Blue” roof elements on all architecture, including monument sign, trash enclosure, and the primary drive through structure to give the building distinct, cohesive coloration.
Docusign Envelope ID: 38276103-8ABC-8A41-815E-94D81C7EB403
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 693 of 883 LU-4.3 Building materials. Convey façade articulation through the strength, depth, and permanence of building materials. Thinner cladding materials, such as stucco, stone and masonry veneers, and wood or simulated wood, may be used when finished to appear as durable and authentic of the materials they simulate.
The Project is incorporating varying height roof lines creating articulation on the building.
The primary surface material will be HardiePlank paneling in a light grey color with wood texturing with a secondary material of black and grey fiber cement paneling with brick texturing. For roofing, the project proposes “Regal Blue” aluminum shade structures and “Regal Blue” seam and parapet roofs. The proposed materials are as durable as the materials they simulate and convey a sense of permanence.
II. Standards Consistency.
Consistency with applicable objective development standards and design standards and/or design guidelines adopted by the City Council.
On September 21, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 10326 adopting the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. The following identifies land use regulations and development standards relevant and applicable to the Project and makes findings of fact regarding if and how the Project complies with them:
Highway 111 Corridor Specific (111 CSP) Plan Compliance:
Section 2.1: Vision for the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan Section 2.1 states that "The Highway 111 Corridor will be transformed from a suburban highway commercial strip, into a lively, dynamic center of social, 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 7Brew project is being evaluated for consistency with applicable provisions of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan (111 CSP) and the approved Master Planned Development (MPD) Permit. Although drive-throughs are not part of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan’s vision to create a pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use environment, they are permitted as Limited Land Uses within Subarea 1 with approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the City Council.
Section 2.3.1 West Gateway
The project site is located within the West Gateway of the corridor which ranges from the western city limits - just west of Jefferson St - to the west edge of the “S-curve” of 111, where Clinton St and Dr Carreon Blvd intersect Highway 111. The West Gateway Segment of the Corridor is flanked by large vacant or underdeveloped parcels, who’s identity and character may be defined by the new, palm-lined Highway 111 and fine new community activity centers offering retail, restaurant, hospitality, entertainment and Docusign Envelope ID: 38276103-8ABC-8A41-815E-94D81C7EB403
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 694 of 883 recreation, along with a wide array of new housing options within the mixed-use centers and surrounding new and existing neighborhoods.
Section 3 Development Standards & Guidelines
Section 3.1.C.3 (Relationship to Indio Municipal Code and Unified Development Code) specifies that this Chapter relies on several existing procedural requirements of the Indio Municipal Code (IMC) and/or Unified Development Code (UDC), where noted. In cases where the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan is silent, the requirements of the Indio Municipal Code or Unified Development Code shall apply (as prescribed in those documents). In cases where there is conflict between the requirements of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan and those of the Municipal Code or Unified Development Code, the requirements of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan shall supersede.
Section 3.2.G.3.A Council Approval Required
Section 3.2.G.3.A (Council Approval Required) of the Specific Plan specifies that some Limited Land Uses require additional consideration and require City Council approval.
This includes fueling stations, car washes and any use including a vehicular drivethrough. As a drive through is a major component of the 7Brew project, City Council is required.
Table 3.4-2 Subareas by Parcel APN
Pursuant to Figure 3.4-1 of the Specific Plan, the project site is located within Subarea 1 and has been assigned regulatory designations consisting of Mixed-Use Corridor Zone and has also been assigned a Master Planned Design Overlay designation.
Section 3.4.C.1 Master Planned Design (MPD) Overlay
Pursuant to Section 3.4.C.1 of the Specific Plan, the Master Planned Design Overlay defines specific parcels or areas within the 111 CSP area that due to their size and/or location, require an approved Master Planned Development (MPD) Permit. While the project site is within the Master Planned Design Overlay, the parcel is below 4-acres in size. Staff determined that because the parcel does not meet all requirements triggering the Master Planned Design Review, the Master Planned Design Permit is not required.
Section 3.4.C.2 Mixed-Use Corridor (MU-C) Zone
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. The proposed Project includes a drive through restaurant with walk up pedestrian service together with pedestrian walkways, landscaping improvement, coordinated architectural design, and circulation improvements, intended to support reinvestment and redevelopment within the Highway 111 corridor.
Section 3.5.C Supporting Findings for Approved Land Uses Docusign Envelope ID: 38276103-8ABC-8A41-815E-94D81C7EB403
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 695 of 883 Required Findings for CUP Approvals:
1. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zone and complies with all other applicable provisions of this Code and all other titles of the Municipal Code.
The project site is zoned Mixed-Use Corridor (MU-C) under the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. Limited Land Uses such as drive-through restaurants require a Conditional Use Permit and are approved by the City Council (PLAN-CUP-26-0011). All other applicable provisions, including parking, signage, and building code requirements, have been addressed through this discretionary review and are subject to conditions of approval.
2. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan.
The project is consistent with the City of Indio General Plan 2040 designations of Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN), as well as the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. Although drive-throughs are not part of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan’s vision to create a pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use environment, they are permitted as Limited Land Uses within Subarea 1 with approval of a CUP by the City Council. The proposed use supports the intent of the Highway 111 Corridor by transforming into a lively mixed-use area with retail, commercial, and pedestrian-oriented corridors. The project promotes goals LU-1, LU-2, and LU-4 of the General Plan, which call for a defined citywide urban structure, comfortable spaces, and high-quality building designs.
3. The proposed use will not be adverse to the public health, safety, or general welfare of the community, nor detrimental to surrounding properties or improvements.
The site is located in an established urban area with adequate vehicle, pedestrian, emergency access, and utility services. The proposed development meet all health and safety standards through conditions of approval, including stormwater retention, landscaping, and infrastructure improvements. The project is not located near sensitive habitat or geologic constraints. All improvements are designed to protect public health and safety, and the project is not expected to cause harm to surrounding properties or the community.
4. The proposed use complies with any design or development standards applicable to the zoning district or the use in question unless waived or modified pursuant to the provisions of this Code.
While the project includes variations such as single-story buildings below the MU-C minimum height requirement, these can be approved under the Limited Land Use provisions (Section 3.14) to facilitate near-term economic revitalization. The project complies with development standards for floor area ratio, building height (within the Docusign Envelope ID: 38276103-8ABC-8A41-815E-94D81C7EB403
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 696 of 883 exceptions), parking, building placement (within the exceptions), signage (with modification requested), and site design. Certain minor deviations, such as front setback distances for some pads, are approved pursuant to CUP and Limited Land Use provisions.
Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan Section 3.5.C Supporting Findings for Approved Land Uses
A. That the proposed use will not become a public nuisance, resulting in disturbances of the peace, illegal drug activity including sales or possession thereof, public drunkenness, drinking in public, harassment of passersby, gambling, prostitution, public urination, curfew violations, theft, assaults, batteries, acts of vandalism, illegal parking, excessive littering, excessive noise (particularly between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.), noxious smells or fumes, lewd conduct, or frequent police detention, citations or arrests, or any other activity declared by the City to be a public nuisance determined by California law to be public nuisance.
The proposed Project consists of one (1) drive through. The proposed use is a customary commercial activity and is not inherently associated with the nuisance activities identified in this finding. The Project has been designed with defined vehicular circulation, drivethrough queuing areas, pedestrian pathways, parking, site lighting, landscaping, and trash enclosures intended to support safe and orderly operation.
The tenant will remain responsible for maintaining the buildings, parking areas, drivethrough lanes, landscaping, sidewalks, and other common areas in a clean and orderly condition. Compliance with the applicable conditions of approval, City regulations, business-license requirements, noise standards, property-maintenance requirements, and public-safety regulations will be required throughout operation of the Project.
Accordingly, the proposed uses are not anticipated to result in disturbances of the peace, illegal activities, excessive littering, unlawful parking, vandalism, or other conditions constituting a public nuisance.
B. That the proposed use will not generate noise, light, glare, dust, noxious odors or other similar adverse effects on surrounding uses. For the purposes of this requirement, “surrounding uses” shall include occupants of neighboring buildings, occupants of other floors within the same building, and pedestrians passing along the sidewalk in front of the subject property.
The proposed project is located within an established commercial center and are separated from surrounding properties by parking areas, drive aisles, landscaped setbacks, public streets, and existing commercial development. Potential operational noise will primarily consist of vehicle movements, drive-through ordering equipment, mechanical equipment, and ordinary restaurant activity. The Project is required to comply with the City’s applicable noise standards, and drive-through speakers and other Docusign Envelope ID: 38276103-8ABC-8A41-815E-94D81C7EB403
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 697 of 883 equipment must be installed and operated so that noise does not create an adverse effect on surrounding uses.
The Project includes site lighting and building-mounted lighting designed to provide visibility for customers and employees while limiting light spill and glare onto adjoining properties and public rights-of-way. Rooftop mechanical equipment will be screened, and restaurant exhaust and mechanical systems will be subject to applicable building, mechanical, and air-quality requirements. Construction-related dust and noise will be temporary and regulated through applicable City requirements and conditions of approval.
With implementation of these requirements, the Project is not anticipated to generate excessive noise, light, glare, dust, noxious odors, or similar adverse effects.
C. By the design and construction of buildings and by hours of operation of the subject use, noise that would be disruptive to residents of dwellings beside or above the proposed use shall not be permitted between the hours of 11:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M.
No residential dwelling units are located within, beside, or above the proposed commercial building. The nearest parcel with residential uses is located approximately 660 feet away from the project site located at 47555 Jefferson Street, known as “Arroyo Crossing.” The Project consists of a detached, single-story, 910 square foot drive through building within the existing Desert Crossroads commercial center. The building design, separation from residential uses, placement of drive-through lanes, and intervening commercial development reduce the potential for nighttime operational noise to affect residential properties. All uses will remain subject to the City’s applicable noise standards and conditions of approval during all hours of operation, including the period between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Therefore, the proposed uses are not anticipated to create disruptive nighttime noise affecting residential dwellings.
D. That the proposed use will not generate access and parking requirements in excess of those provided for Section 3.12.
The Project provides off-street parking, drive-through queuing, pedestrian circulation, and vehicular access designed to serve a quick-service restaurant with pedestrian take-out in accordance with Section 3.12 of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. The site plan provides two (2) designated drive-through lanes and vehicle-stacking areas for each building, separate from the primary drive aisles and parking spaces, to reduce interference with on-site circulation. Access is provided through the existing Desert Crossroads circulation system and existing connections to Highway 111.
The proposed parking meets parking requirements of the specific plan and drive-through stacking have been evaluated as part of the Planning Review and Conditional Use Permit applications. Compliance with the applicable parking, loading, accessible-parking, and drive-through queuing requirements will be required through the approved plans and conditions of approval. Accordingly, the proposed uses are not anticipated to generate access or parking demands in excess of the facilities provided pursuant to Section 3.12.
Docusign Envelope ID: 38276103-8ABC-8A41-815E-94D81C7EB403
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 698 of 883 E. That perceived privacy and/or security requirements of the proposed use will not lead building users to maintain rarely opened opaque window coverings on street-facing windows, nor to routinely utilize rear or side entries rather than street-facing front doors as the primary means of access and egress to the building.
The proposed building is designed to provide walk up pedestrian service through an access door on the north elevation and drive through service through two (2) access doors on the south elevation. The project does not allow public access into the building and does not require the level of privacy or security that would ordinarily result in permanently covered storefront windows. The building elevations incorporate substantial storefront glazing along east elevation, allowing visibility between the employee work areas and adjacent pedestrian areas. The proposed 7Brew restaurant is not proposing public access to interior areas during operating hours, and window coverings may be necessary for glare control, energy efficiency, or operational purposes.
F. That the ground floor rooms adjacent to the street frontage will be occupied during much of the day and occupied and/or lighted during most evenings.
The Project consists of a single-story drive through restaurant containing employee workstations, storage areas, and an employee-only restroom. Employee workstations will remain occupied and illuminated during operating hours. i. For all retail, restaurant and indoor recreational uses, display windows shall not “wall off” views into retail interior spaces, and the interiors of dining rooms and activity rooms shall be clearly visible to passing pedestrians.
The drive through restaurant building incorporates storefront glazing along the east elevation, adjacent to vehicle and pedestrian order pick up areas.
The glazing is intended to preserve views into active interior spaces and will not be designed or operated as an opaque display wall that prevents visual connection between the building interiors and adjacent pedestrian areas.
Covered order and pick up areas, architectural canopies, and pedestrian pathways further support activity and visibility around the restaurant buildings.
ii. For office uses, front rooms should include lobbies, waiting areas, and office spaces in which window blinds are typically open.
This finding is not applicable. The proposed Project does not include office uses.
Docusign Envelope ID: 38276103-8ABC-8A41-815E-94D81C7EB403
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 699 of 883 iii. For residential uses, units should be configured such that public realm-facing rooms include living rooms and dining rooms, and should not include bathrooms, closets and other uninhabited spaces.
This finding is not applicable. The proposed Project does not include residential dwelling units.
5. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity are compatible with the existing and reasonably foreseeable future land uses in the vicinity.
The project is located in a mixed-use corridor with adjacent vacant and commercial uses, all consistent with the General Plan and Specific Plan land use designations. The development’s scale, building height, and use are compatible with the existing surrounding neighborhoods and support planned future mixed-use growth. The project maintains compatibility by incorporating pedestrian pathways, landscaping, and appropriate building articulation, without disrupting existing uses or community character.
6. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of use being proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints.
The site consists of one vacant parcels totaling approximately 0.81 acres, with no significant topographic or geologic constraints. Access is available via existing driveways from Highway 111 and on-site circulation as part of the “Desert Crossroads” shopping center. The site can be served by existing utilities (water, sewer, stormwater) as confirmed by city departments. The proposed densities and building sizes are within the allowable floor area ratios and height requirements (with conditional use permit exceptions). Stormwater management has been conditioned into the project and landscape plans are in place to support the development sustainably.
Section 3.5 Allowed Uses
Pursuant to 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) of the Specific Plan specifies Drive Through Restaurants in the Mixed Use Corridor Zone are permissible through a Conditional Use Permit granted by the City Council. This table provides a discretionary pathway for Limited Land Uses which include any drive-through by requiring a Conditional Use permit approved by the City Council.
Section 3.6.A.2.a
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 1. Figure 3.6-1 identifies required and recommended connections through the project site. Specifically, recommended Docusign Envelope ID: 38276103-8ABC-8A41-815E-94D81C7EB403
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 700 of 883 connections are shown in north/south orientations in the eastern portion of the site and no required connections exist. 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. The 7Brew project will gain access from existing on-site circulation from the Desert Crossroads Center. On-site circulation consists of two (2) drive through lanes and one (1), one-way access lane for parking access. Pedestrian circulation will be provided through the western portion of the project site along an access road and connecting Highway 111 to the anchor tenant of the Desert Crossroads center for the required connections element of this section and the Conceptual Connectivity Plan.
Pursuant to Section 3.6.C.1/Table 3.6.3 (Maximum Block Size), the maximum block perimeter for the Mixed Use Corridor zone and the Neighborhood General 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, Car-less 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 Car-less 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 7Brew project site is 168 feet long and abuts a publicly accessible access road. The project as proposed does not exceed the linear feet required for the installation of new subarea connectivity facilities and therefore meets this requirement.
Section 3.7 Public Realm Standards
Section 3.7 outlines requirements for public realm connections. This includes street improvements, public frontage standards, and public open space standards. Conditions of approval limit the public frontage improvements to only repair curb, sidewalk, gutter, and landscaping damaged during the construction of all on-site improvements and all structures.
On February 19, 2019, Resolution No. 1885 was approved by the Planning Commission for Tentative Parcel Map 37638 (Case No. TPM-18-11-397) to subdivide 7.12 acres of land into four parcels. The conditions of approval for Resolution No. 1885 required the applicant (Terra Nova Planning & Research on behalf of the Barclay Group) to submit Street Improvement & Lighting Plans and Landscape & Irrigation Plans as part of the Desert Crossroads Project. As such, the City Engineer is only requiring the installation of a sidewalk along the westerly property line as part of the Conditions of Approval. The installation of a sidewalk at this location is intended to complete the existing sidewalk from Highway 111 to the existing sidewalk within the “Desert Crossroads” shopping center.
Section 3.8 Building Placement and Access
Docusign Envelope ID: 38276103-8ABC-8A41-815E-94D81C7EB403
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 701 of 883 Section 3.8 (Building Placement and Access) and more specifically Section 3.8.B.1 specifies standards to ensure that the 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 provided buildings conform to the requirements of the Section 3.14 regulating Limited Land Uses. Existing site conditions prohibit the siting of structures fronting Highway 111 due to a public utility easement parallel to Highway 111.
The building as proposed sits approximately 43 feet from the property line fronting Highway 111 and approximately 18 feet from the public utility easement. The structure proposes an integrated shade structure, the closest structural point of which is approximately 28 feet from the property line fronting Highway 111 and 3 feet from the Public Utility Easement. The proposed building length for the drive-through restaurant is approximately 59 feet. There is only one building proposed, and therefore, the project site complies with the specified building setback requirements.
Section 3.9 Building Height
Pursuant to 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. The Mixed-Use Corridor zone has a minimum height of 3 stories or 21’ high and a maximum height of 6 stories. Building height for the drivethrough restaurant is 19 feet, 2 inches, which does not comply with the height requirements in the Mixed-Use Corridor zone. However, Section 3.14 explicitly allows single-story commercial buildings with a minimum height of 16 feet as part of the Limited Land Use (LLU) provisions to accommodate near-term investment that contributes to corridor revitalization, which is less than the proposed height of 19 feet, 2 inches. Subarea 1 of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan allows for up to three (3) Limited Land Uses.
The proposed project would be the first Limited Land Use approved within Subarea 1.
The proposed building is a single-story with an overall height of approximately 19 feet, 2 inches, featuring parapet walls, seam roofing, and architectural treatments that enhance the building’s visual presence along the street. While this height does not meet the standard MU-C minimum height requirement, it is compliant under the Limited Land Use provisions and is designed to ensure the buildings integrate well into the existing commercial context while supporting phased corridor transformation.
Section 3.10 Facades and Frontages
Pursuant to Section 3.10 (Facades and Frontages) of the Specific Plan specifies standards to ensure that large-scale ("block-form") buildings, are modulated into smaller "human-scale" increments and composition to generate more dynamic and interesting Docusign Envelope ID: 38276103-8ABC-8A41-815E-94D81C7EB403
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 702 of 883 streetscapes and result in more resilient buildings that are adaptable over time to meet the varied needs of different tenants and uses. In addition, section 3.10 requires commercial buildings along Highway 111 to incorporate street-facing facades with architectural articulation, transparency, and pedestrian orientation. For Limited Land Uses, Section 3.14, permits primary entrances to face away from the street, provided the street-facing façade maintains the appearance of a front elevation.
For the proposed project, the drive through tenant “7Brew” proposes to serve customers in vehicles on the interior of the project site. The applicant proposes to service pedestrian customers through a walk-up window facing Highway 111. The project does not provide entrances designed for pedestrian access, however, through the provision of shade structures above order and pickup areas, the project addresses the street. These features collectively ensure that the façade maintains a visually attractive appearance as required for Limited Land Uses.
Section 3.11 Private Signage
Section 3.11 (Private Signage) of the Specific plan regulates the design, size, placement, and approval of private signage within the MU-C zoning district. The Specific Plan identifies certain sign types that are permitted by right; however, Section 3.11.A.2 states that any sign type not expressly listed and permitted by right may only be approved by the Planning Commission through Design Review (Planning Review Discretionary). The 7Brew project has included a sign exhibit along with their conceptual plans with standards for reviewing wall-mounted signs for the project. Pursuant to Section 3.11.A.2, the Planning Review Discretionary process allows the Planning Commission to evaluate the proposed sign packet and its contents consistency with the intent of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan, including corridor aesthetics, visual compatibility, and protection of the public realm.
The following standards are applicable to all private signage within the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan:
a. Signs shall not obscure building entrances, cornices, columns, or other prominent architectural elements.
As proposed, monument and window signs do not obstruct buildings’ entrances, architectural features, or prominent design elements of the new commercial building and therefore meets this standard.
b. A maximum of three allowed sign types shall be allowed on a building or massing increment unless stated otherwise.
The applicant is proposing three sign types (wall sign, monument sign, and digital menu board) in accordance with the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan Sections
3.11.C.1.a and 3.11.C.1.b. While the maximum height for tenant signs generally remains consistent with the standards, an exception is requested for one (1) cabinet sign on the east elevation, increasing the allowable size from 30 inches high to 72 inches and one (1) channel letter sign on the south elevation, increasing Docusign Envelope ID: 38276103-8ABC-8A41-815E-94D81C7EB403
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 703 of 883 the allowable size from 30 inches to 38 inches. Monument signs are permitted to be 7 feet high and 10 feet wide. The applicant is proposing a monument sign of 8 feet tall and 17 feet wide.17 feet exceeds the allowable 10 feet wide for monument signs under the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. The Director of Community Development is allowed a 20% deviation from all numerical signage standards pursuant to Table 3.2-1. With the allowable 20% deviation, the monument sign is allowed to be a maximum of 12 feet wide. The conditions of approval restrict signage to a maximum of 12 feet wide.
c. Phone numbers and email addresses shall be prohibited from being displayed on any of the allowed sign types, with the exception of front yard signs.
The applicant is not proposing to display phone numbers and/or email addresses.
Conditions of approval will prohibit the display of phone numbers and email addresses for the project.
d. Sign lighting shall be designed to minimize light and glare on surrounding rights-of-way and properties.
The applicant has submitted photometric plans for onsite lighting and signage. As proposed, the photometric plans comply with City requirements for lighting limits to the property line and have been conditioned to comply with applicable lighting standards.
e. Directory signs are small wall signs located at pedestrian eye level and intended to identify multiple tenants within a building or complex.
The project comprises of one (1), single-tenant drive-through restaurant without proposed directory signage. However, any future signs not included in this entitlement will be reviewed following the standards of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan.
f. Internal illuminated “Cabinet Signs” and/or “channel letters” shall be prohibited for all signage.
The applicant has submitted signage exhibits that contain internally illuminated cabinet and channel letter signs. Conditions of approval require all signage to be externally illuminated or halo letters, and as such, will comply with this requirement.
Section 3.12 Parking
Pursuant to 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. Table 3.12-1 specifies the minimum parking requirements for retail, office, residential and restaurant uses. For restaurants, the table requires installation of
0.5 parking spaces per every 4 seats. The project does not provide seating for customers, requiring a total of zero (0) parking spaces. However, pursuant to section 3.14.B.1.g Docusign Envelope ID: 38276103-8ABC-8A41-815E-94D81C7EB403
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 704 of 883 (Parking and Circulation), the visual impact of parking installed in Limited Land Uses shall be mitigated consistent with the standards outlined in Unified Development Code section
3.03 (Parking and Loading). Pursuant to Table 3.03.05-1 (Required Number of Vehicle Parking Spaces), a total of six (6) spaces are required per 1,000 square feet of dine in or take-out restaurants. While the 7Brew restaurant primarily serves as a drive through restaurant, the project offers take-out through the provision of walk-up pedestrian service.
The project proposes 910 gross square feet, including storage areas, restrooms, and employee workstations. As such, the project is required to provide 5.46 parking spaces, rounded to a total of five (5) required parking spaces. The project proposes to have 9 stalls, including one (1) ADA accessible stall which meets and exceeds the minimum requirements.
Section 3.13 Site Design
Pursuant to Section 3.13 (Site Design) specifies standards for the design and location of various site design elements for the purpose of the health, safety, and general welfare of the immediate occupants of each building, and for the neighborhood. This section addresses utility access and equipment, mechanical and electrical equipment, telecommunication devices, wet utilities, service entrances and waste disposal areas, fence and wall heights, entrance arbors, lighting, landscaping, stormwater and open space. The applicant has submitted a landscape plan with their submittal packet and a condition of approval requiring evidence on the final landscape plan submitted for administrative review and approval will be required. Additionally, the project proposes to provide a utility room/closet on the west elevation so that these services shall be in inconspicuous locations and thoroughly screened from public view. Furthermore, the project is conditioned to provide and meet the requirements of this Section.
Section 3.14 Limited Uses in the MU-C Zone
Limited Land Uses are regulated pursuant to Section 3.14 (Limited Uses in the MU-C Zone) within the boundaries of the Specific Plan. Section 3.14.2.a-i address applicability of the standards in this Section including but not limited to applying only to properties in the Mixed Use Corridor zone, limited land uses consisting of freestanding single-use (pad) commercial buildings, drive-through service facilities, office/light industrial buildings, adaptive re-use of existing commercial/industrial buildings and parking lots that occupy greater percentages of one or more street frontages than prescribed by the standards of Sections 3.8 and 3.12. This provision allows for the development of freestanding singlestory commercial buildings and drive-throughs in the Mixed-Use Corridor (MU-C) zone to support interim economic reinvestment, even if such development does not meet all MUC form-based standards, including minimum building height or complete frontage buildout. The proposed development activates a vacant parcel, introduces new commercial activity, enhances the corridor’s visual character through landscaping and architectural design features, and aligns with the Specific Plan’s intent to encourage short-term reinvestment while preserving long-term planning goals.
According to Table 3.14-1, Subarea 1 permits up to three (3) Limited Land Use approvals.
Based on current records, no other Limited Land Use approvals have been issued within Docusign Envelope ID: 38276103-8ABC-8A41-815E-94D81C7EB403
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 705 of 883 Subarea 1, and this project would represent one of the maximum of three (3) allowed.
The project meets the physical and design criteria for a Limited Land Use and is being processed through Planning Review consistent with the Specific Plan’s procedures.
In addition to General Plan and Zoning compliance, Section 6.04.03 (Planning Review) of the Unified Development Code, and subject to state law, the Planning Commission must make the following findings for design review approval III. Overall Function and Design
The project design is appropriate to the function of the project and will provide an attractive and comfortable environment for occupants, visitors, and the general community. The overall design of the project, including its scale, massing, site plan, exterior design, and landscaping, will enhance the appearance and features of the project site and surrounding natural and built environment.
The project is designed as a small scale drive through restaurant with shade structures over pedestrian ordering areas and over vehicle order pick up areas. Shade structure canopies and columns incorporate “regal blue” finishing used as part of the building fascia, visually integrating the shade structures into the building through the use of color.
The structure proposes to provide visual interest through the use of varied roof lines including parapet roofs, vertical projections, and a curved standing steam roof. At the highest point, the standing seam roof reaches 19 feet and 2 inches before curving downwards to about 14 feet and 6 inches. Along the curve, the structure utilizes “regal blue” finishes, consistent with the coloration of the shade structure. The building continues with a “regal blue” parapet roof for approximately 40 feet and 3 inches at 12 feet and four inches high. At the westernmost elevation, the structure ends with a vertical projection to approximately 16 feet high. This vertical projection incorporates “Black Onyx” concrete paneling, further increasing the visual interest through the use of color, material, and texture.
The 910 square foot building is designed to provide approximately 704 square feet of employee workstations, 66 square feet of and employee-only restroom, 164 square feet for a mechanical access room, and 140 square feet for the restaurant’s walk-in refrigerator. Access to the building is restricted to employees only, with walk-up service provided to pedestrians. Primary staff entrances used for providing food service to driveup vehicles are constructed with built-in glazing, while a secondary staff entry is provided without glazing on the north elevation. The secondary entrance takes access to restaurant storage areas and does not provide glazing, but rather, is a solid black color to closely match the black concrete tile siding incorporated throughout the building. This design ensures visitors can visually distinguish between customer areas and employee areas, improving pedestrian circulation without the need for signage.
Two (2) one-way drive through lanes are provided for vehicle queuing, with a third “pass through” lane provided for visitors to access on-site parking spaces. As traffic flows through the site in one direction, the project proposes to install chevron arrow signs on Docusign Envelope ID: 38276103-8ABC-8A41-815E-94D81C7EB403
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 706 of 883 the ground in addition to the words “DO NOT ENTER” where the one-way vehicle path of travel intersects with the site access point. Along the drive-through lanes, landscaping is installed in order to reduce glare from vehicle headlights onto Highway 111. In addition, the project provides a separate pedestrian path along the eastern and western edges of the project site, connecting employee work stations with the trash enclosure, as well as the pedestrians to the “EOS” project site. Trash enclosures are designed to provide separate pedestrian access to the trash enclosure, allowing employees to access the refuse and recycling areas without the need of stepping into vehicle circulation areas.
Through the use of architectural features to create visual interest, visually distinguish customer and employee areas, and the installation of pedestrian paths, it can be seen that the project design is functional and attractive.
IV. Site Design
Structures within the development and between the structures and the site relate to one another. Proposed structures and related site development improvements (e.g., access, parking, grading, etc.) relate and connect to existing development in the vicinity. The site is designed to promote efficient circulation and encourage a range of transportation modes by providing safe and convenient routes for pedestrians and cyclists. Projects incorporate necessary utilities and service areas (e.g., refuse and recycling enclosures) such that they are compatible with the overall design of the project and minimize visual impacts.
While the project site consists of one proposed 910 square foot drive through building, the parcel is part of a larger shopping center known as “Desert Crossroads.” The “Desert Crossroads” Shopping Center consists of an anchor tenant and service station within the City of Indio. Adjacent to the project site, the “Komar Desert Center” within the City of La Quinta consists of existing retail and restaurant tenants. Both shopping centers share right in-right out access connecting to Highway 111 and along the border of the Cities of Indio and La Quinta. As proposed, the project would include sidewalk improvements from the northernmost portion of the parcel to the southernmost portion of the parcel along the western edge of the project site. This would connect an existing sidewalk from the Desert Crossroads’ anchor tenant to Highway 111 and improve pedestrian access within the existing shopping center. In addition, pedestrian access is provided from Highway 111 to the walk-up pedestrian window provided as part of the “7-Brew” project and the “7Brew” trash enclosure.
The project proposes to install nine (9) parking stalls, including one (1) Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible parking stall at the center of the project site. All parking stalls are angled to ensure vehicles exiting the parking spaces do not traverse the site counter to the direction of one-way traffic. Visitors the site may access the pedestrian walk-up window from the parking stalls via the pedestrian walkway on the east of the project site or by following the ADA path of travel from the accessible parking stall to the building.

Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 707 of 883 The site’s trash enclosure is located on the south-eastern portion of the project site. As the project proposes one lane, one-way circulation through the site, placement of the trash enclosure in this location allows collection of refuse, recycling, and organics without interfering with on or off-site circulation. The project also provides a separate pedestrian gate for employees to access the trash enclosure, allowing employees to dispose of waste without needing to enter vehicle circulation areas. To ensure visual consistency with the project site, the trash enclosure will be constructed with Black Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) block wall to match the “Black Onyx” concrete tile utilized on the drive through restaurant structure. In addition, the trash enclosure proposes to use a blue metal roof to match the blue used as roof accents.
Through the integration of pedestrian facilities the project’s site design relates to the surrounding commercial uses. Through the design and placement of the trash enclosure, and integration of electrical rooms for visual screening, the project site relates to itself through the use of consistent architectural details.
V. Building Design
Buildings are designed to mediate scale, massing, and bulk, reflect a human scale design, and enhance the pedestrian experience through building modulation and facade articulation treatments. The project architecture is harmoniously integrated internally and in relation to the architecture in the vicinity in terms of colors and materials, scale, and building design. The design is sensitive to and compatible with historic and low-density or sensitive uses in the vicinity.
The proposed 7Brew restaurant uses consistent architectural materials (including White HardiPlank, “Black Onyx” Concrete Tile, “regal blue” roof trim), varied rooflines, and decorative detailing. While the project is designed as a drive-through restaurant, human scale design is incorporated through the implementation of a walk up pedestrian window with a shaded waiting area provided by a “regal blue” aluminum shade structure.
Accessory structures, including trash enclosures and freestanding monument sign incorporate design elements consistent with the project site, including the use of regal blue roof trim and black Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) block wall utilized in the trash enclosure, utilizing colors and materials used elsewhere on site, and the use of blue roof trim on the free-standing monument sign.
VI. Streetscape
The design of streetscapes, including street trees, lighting, and pedestrian furniture, is consistent with the intended character of the area.

Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 708 of 883 On February 19, 2019, Resolution No. 1885 was approved by the Planning Commission for Tentative Parcel Map 37638 (Case No. TPM-18-11-397) to subdivide 7.12 acres of land into four parcels. The conditions of approval for Resolution No. 1885 required the applicant (Terra Nova Planning & Research on behalf of the Barclay Group) to submit Street Improvement & Lighting Plans and Landscape & Irrigation Plans as part of the Desert Crossroads Project. As such, the City Engineer is only requiring the installation of a sidewalk along the westerly property line as part of the Conditions of Approval. The installation of a sidewalk at this location is intended to complete the existing sidewalk from Highway 111 to the existing sidewalk within the “Desert Crossroads” shopping center.
The project proposes to install an additional drive through restaurant in an existing shopping center. The proposed landscaping is consistent with the surrounding commercial areas through the provision of trees and shrubbery around the perimeter of the project site. Adjacent retail and commercial uses have existing landscaping installed in largely the same manner.
VII. Parking
Parking areas are designed and developed to provide adequate parking, buffer surrounding land uses, compliment pedestrian-oriented development, enhance the environmental quality of the site (e.g., by minimizing stormwater run-off and the heatisland effect), and achieve a safe, efficient, and harmonious development. Parking areas are properly sited, designed, and screened to minimize the impacts of parking and vehicles on the pedestrian experience.
The project proposes to install 9 parking spaces, including one ADA accessible parking stall. Parking areas are screened from Highway 111 through the installation of landscaping around the perimeter of the project site and building placement between the parking area and Highway 111. In addition, the parking area provides three trees, to provide shade over parking areas. All trees provided are 24 inch box size and will provide shade for four (4) of the total nine (9) parking spaces. The conditions of approval require the installation of on-site water retention. Shade and transpiration from trees have been found to reduce the Urban Heat Island Effect. Urban heat-island effect reduction and onsite water retention will serve to enhance the environmental quality of the site.
The project additionally proposes to provide pedestrian access on the North, East, and West portions of the project site, allowing pedestrians to navigate the site without interference from automobile traffic. The western sidewalk connects Highway 111 to an existing sidewalk to the anchor tenant in the Desert Crossroads commercial center. In addition, the project will provide direct pedestrian access from Highway 111 to walk-up ordering facilities. Through separation of pedestrian facilities, enhanced connection, and provision of walk-up ordering facilities, the impact of automobile facilities is minimized.

Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 709 of 883 VIII. Screening and Fencing/Walls
Fences, walls, and other visual screening elements are made of high-quality materials, add visual interest, are compatible with the character of surrounding development, and help community members differentiate between public and private property. Appropriate screening is provided between incompatible uses.
Pursuant to section 3.14.C of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan, drive-through lanes adjacent to the building shall be screened from the Highway 111 Corridor through the installation of 3 foot to 4 foot high walls, building siting, or the installation of landscaping.
Drive through queuing will be screened from the Highway 111 right-of-way through building placement and landscaping. The “7Brew” building will be placed between the queuing area and Highway 111. In addition, the applicant proposes to install a variety of shrubbery around the perimeter of the parking lot and drive through queuing areas, including forty-two (42) Rhaphiolepsis Indica ‘Clara’ (Clara Indian Hawthorn) and thirtyone (31) Hesperaloe Parviflora (Red Yucca). Clara Indian Hawthorn can grow three (3) to four (4) feet high and Red Yucca can grow up to three (3) feet high, according to Coachella Valley Water District’s Lush and Efficient Landscape Gardening in the Coachella Valley, consistent with the screening requirements of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. While the landscaping will be required to be updated as described in section X (Landscaping) of the Planning Review Discretionary Findings, the conditions of approval require landscape plan to be updated to be consistent with all landscaping requirements of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan and requires landscaping to be maintained, with any dead, diseased, or dying plantings to be replaced within 30 days, ensuring all screening is maintained. Landscaping is designed consistently with surrounding commercial uses through placement of trees in parking areas and trees and shrubbery on the project perimeter. While conditions of approval require the proposed plant species to change, conditions of approval also require screening to be provided between Highway 111 and the drive-through queuing lanes.
In addition to the screening of drive through queuing lanes, the applicant proposes to install a two foot deep by three feet wide electrical shed for the screening of electrical facilities. This electrical shed has been conditioned to utilize building materials that match the architectural detail of the building to reduce visual clutter.
Through the installation of landscape screening and an electrical shed, all screening is appropriately designed for the project site.
IX. Lighting
Lighting and lighting fixtures are designed to complement buildings, be of appropriate scale, provide adequate light over walkways and parking areas to create a sense of pedestrian safety, and avoid creating glare.
The applicant has provided photometric plans of the project site, detailing the brightness of on-site lighting and brightness at the property line. As designed, the project proposes Docusign Envelope ID: 38276103-8ABC-8A41-815E-94D81C7EB403
Resolution Nos. 10614 and 10615 for Planning Commission recommendations ... Page 710 of 883 to provide two lights in parking areas, illuminated signage, and lighting built into shade structures canopies. Conditions of approval require lighting to be shielded, as well as establishes a maximum illuminance of 4.0 footcandles, consistent with both the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan and the Unified Development Code. Upon submittal of building permits, photometric plans will be reviewed for compliance with the conditions of approval. (Condition 12).
X. Landscaping
Landscaping is designed to be compatible with and enhance the architectural character and features of the buildings on site, conserve water, provide buffers or screening, and help relate the building to the surrounding landscape.
The landscape design utilizes shrubbery and trees around the parking lot perimeter and within parking areas. The Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan section 3.13 requires all trees and plant material to be native to the Sonoran Desert or adaptive from regions with similar arid climates (such as the Mojave). The Unified Development Code section
3.02.09 additionally requires all landscaping to be selected from the Coachella Valley Water Districts “Lush and Efficient Landscape Gardening in the Coachella Valley,” as well as establishes a minimum parking lot and street planting minimum size of 24 inch box for trees and 5 gallons for shrubbery. The proposed plant palette, size, desert adaptiveness, and listing within the “Lush and Efficient” book is outlined below in “Table B”.

Project details, materials, signage, and landscaping, are internally consistent, fully integrated with one another, and used in a manner that is visually consistent with the proposed architectural design.
The project proposes to utilize consistent materials and color schemes throughout the project site, including “Regal Blue” metal roofing, “Onyx Black” Concrete paneling and Concrete Masonry Units, and light grey walls on the drive through restaurant and monument sign. The use of a consistent color palette throughout the project site ensures visual consistency throughout the project.
XII. Public Art Component
Public art is provided in satisfaction of Chapter 3.06 Art in Public Places.
Chapter 3.06 of the Unified Development requires new non-residential projects to provide art, or be assessed an in-lieu fee at the time of building permit application. As this project does not provide public art, an in-lieu fee of one-half percent (0.005%) of the total building valuation, excluding land acquisition and off-street improvement costs, will automatically be assessed at the time building permit fees are calculated.
I. The project will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of the development site, or to the public health, safety or general welfare.
Conditions of approval mitigate the risk of harm to the public to an approvable level. Any damage to existing off-site improvements, including curb, gutter, and landscaping have been conditioned to be repaired to the original condition. All construction and grading must comply with PM10 standards to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, and all construction must occur within the times approved in Municipal Code section 151.160 (Permitted Work Hours), unless approved by the Community Development Director on a case-by case basis. These standards ensure noise and dust concerns are mitigated to the highest extent possible and that public improvements are returned to their original conditions after the end of construction.
