BDR * CO*1*NICATIONS AT * CWb*IL MEETING
Dear CounciTh*t*rs:
I would like to point out a traffic hazard which
requires The*IMMEDIATE attention. The intersection
of *Montezuma*a and Navarro marked A' on the en-
closed map) has been the scene of two recent accid-
ents. One or more traffic signs are needed to
better control the intersection. As it stands now,
a vehicle proceeding west on *Montezuma yellow line
B') could collide with a vehicle traveling east on
N. *Montezuma red line C'), because both would feel
they have the right of way.
Normal procedures of studies, surveys, etc., will
take too much time in this instance. immediate
action must be taken in order to possible sid
save lives and perhaps save the city a lawsuit for allow-
ing a hazardous situation to exist. I would suggest
a yield or stop sign be erected in the vicinity of
the greed sic] dot D' on the enclosed map. This should
effectively solve the probl*n, at least for the time
being.
If the city does not have provisions for *r*rgency
actions such as I have suggested, it may be a good
idea to impli"ent *emergency powers for this particular
problem as well as other problems that are certain
to arise in the future.
sincerely,
Rupert E. Yessayian

Mr. Rupert Yessayian
P.O. Drawer A
La Ouinta, California 92253
Dear Mr. Yessayian:
Thank you for your letter of January 27, 1984 regarding the traffic problem*n
at Avenida *Montezuma and Avenida Navarro.
* will present this matter to the Traffic Safety Committee at its next
scheduled meeting on February 9, 1984 at 4:00 P.M. at the La Q':iinta City Hall.
You are certainly invited to attend. I would also like to inform you that
the La QLiinta Traffic Safety Ccaaittee currently has a vacant position. The
City Council is accepting applications for that position if you are interested.
Regarding your ccrtr[*ts on the traffic situation at *Montezuma and Navarro, I
would like to ccn*t as follows:
1. The Traffic Safety Ca*ittee is preparing a lengthy report on traffic related
problems*S throughout La Quinta for presentation to the City Council. That
report will address the situation you have reported in your letter, as that
matter has already been studied.
2. The records indicate that there have been three accidents at this inter-
section since the City incorporated 5-1-82). on 6-6-83 at 10:30 PM.
there was a two vehicle accident with no injuries. The cause of that
accident is un]**n as it was a hit and run. This lends itself n*re
to wreckless driving than a traffic. design problem*.) on 11-25-83 at
9:35 P.M. there was a two vehicle accident with four minor injuries.
The cause of that accident was failure to yield the right*f-way and
unsafe speed. On 12-22-83 at 3:15 P.M. there was a two vehicle accident
with no injuries. The cause of that accident was failure to yield the
right*of-way and it involved a stolen vehicle which hit and ran another
vehicle. Based on this data there is not any justification to take
ineddiate action" as you suggest.

3. The purpose of having traffic warrants and a traffic safety c*Tmittee is to
use procedure, studies, and statistical accident) analysis to reduce accidents.
This is the accepted *ethod for correcting problems*tis. It also best protects
the City fran liability by following accepted standards* and by not reacting
based on what might se*n right at the Iranent.
4. A point of traffic engineering it is contraindicated to install yield
signs perpe*c*r to stop signs at an intersection as you suggest we do.
Ref: State Traffic **nual Chapter 4-21) Conse*uently, such an action
would be inappropriate.
5. Because there is a stop sign facing eastbound traffic on *Montezuma* south
side of park) at Navarro, that part of *Montezuma would be considered a
side street" and *Montezuma north side) is considered the through street".
Consequently those persons going westbound on *Montezuma approaching Navarro
that wish to use *Montezuma south) would be making a left-hand turn to do so.
Under the California Vehicle Code this would necessitate yielding the right-
of**ay to eastbound traffic on *Montezuma north).
Th conclusion, we realize that we have traffic problems*ns in the area at both east
and west ends of the park. * are working on a plan to address both *Montezuma
at Navarro and i*Montezuma*ina at Eisenhower*hower as well as the other 65 miles of roads
and 300+ intersections in IA Cuinta.
Thank you again, for your interest in this problem.
Very trrly yours,
*

Gentleeen:
As residents of La Quinta, we would like to take this opportunity
to thank you very much for all the cleanup improvements to our city.
It looks so much better.
A major concern of ours is the lack of stop signs and street lights.
We do not have any children of our own, but there are so many that
live in La Quinta riding their bikes in the late afternoon and
evenings. Sc*r*thing done for their safety, as well as all us adults,
would also be greatly appreciated.
We certainly know La Quinta is a new city, and it takes tir* to
get everything acc*tplished, but it's wonderful to know we have
people in charge that care.
Thank you again for all your efforts.
Respectfully si*tted,
Mr. & Mrs. Van McDaniel

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Sandra L. Bonner, Principal Planner**
Date: February 7, 1984
Subject: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 19458, A Request to Divide a 154.5
Acre Site Into Lots for the Purpose of Constructing 894
Statutory Air Space) Condominiums. Property Located at the
Northeast Corner of Washington Street and 48th Avenue Alignment;
VTN Consolidated, Inc., Applicant.
At its January 10, 1984 meeting, the Planning Commission voted
unanimously to recommend to the City Council approval of the Isla
Mediterranea project as proposed by Mervyn Johnson.
At the January 3, 1984 hearing, the City Council voted to approve
the related general plan amendment to allow a maximum of six units
per acre on the site; however, the change of zone request was
continued to February 7, 1984 to allow the City Council time to
review the proposed tentative tract map and development plan.
Tentative Tract Map No. 19458 was introduced to the City Council at
its January 17, 1984 study session. At that meeting, Jim Johnson,
City Fire Marshall, and John Lower of Berryman and Stephenson, traffic
consultant for the City, were present to discuss the project.
Proposed Change to the Proposed Tract Map
The Applicant is proposing a minor change to the tentative tract map
which was approved by the Planning Commission and introduced to the
City Council. The previous map proposed individual lots for each of
the dwellings on the lakeshore" or perimeter of the project. The
Applicant now proposes to change these units to statutory air space)
condominiums, whereby only the units of the buildings are sold while
the land underneath remains in common undivided ownership. The number
of total lots will be reduced from 555 to 107. This will have no effect
on the density or the size, design or location of the proposed buildings.
The Applicant is submitting the amended map in response to a recent
change in the City Fire Marshall*s construction standards for the
firewalls which are required between the attached single-family
dwellings built on individual lots. A firewall is a specially
constructed wall or separation designed to resist the spread of fire
from one unit to other portions of the building.

JKRKZ_hCITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
February 7, 19B4
Page Two.
Prior to designing the buildings and submitting the tract map to the
City, the Applicant received approval from the City Fire Marshall to
construct the type of firewall which extends above and out on either
side of the common wall between units underneath the roof, thereby
preventing the spread of fire through the attic. This is the type
of firewall required in statutory condominiums such as the Duna La
Quinta condominiums on 50th Avenue.)
After the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map No. 19458,
the Fire Marshall and Building Official determined that the lakeshore
units as originally proposed would require parapet firewalls. Unlike
the other type of construction, parapet firewalls extend from the
common wall through the attic and above the roof line an example of
this is the duplex under construction at Eisenhower Drive and Avenida
Montezuma). Because this new standard would drastically change the
appearance of the units, the Applicant is requesting that the lakeshore
units be changed to statutory condominiums to allow the construction of
the previously approved type of firewall which is located underneath
the roof.
This change to a statutory condominium plan for the lakeshore units
will not result in a reduction of fire safety; both types of walls
are designed to contain a fire for two hours. Neither the City Fire
Marshall nor the Building Official have any objections to the proposed
map amendment. James Longtin, the City Attorney, has stated that this
amendment is a minor change and therefore need not be referred back to
the Planning Commission for its consideration. Staff recommends that
the amendment be approved to allow for the construction of the units
as originally designed, and the addition of the following condition:
12(f) Firewalls shall be required in accordance with the requirements
of the Uniform Fire Code in effect at the time of this tentative tract
map approval.
Additional Comment
At the City Council study session on January 17, 1984, comments were
made regarding the need for constructing Adams Street north of the
project to Highway 111. The Applicant has agreed with this requirement.
Staff recommends that the City Council add the following condition:
22. The Developer shall participate in the construction of
Adams Street between Highway 111 and the northern project
boundary as follows:
a. If the above described section of Adams Street is
not constructed prior to the developer installing
Adams Street half-width improvements adjacent to
the project boundary, then the developer shall
install the Adams Street part-width improvements
in accordance to City standards. The developer

shall enter into a reimbursement agreement with
the City for the costs of this off-site improvement;
the reimbursement agreement shall be subject to the
approval of the City Council and City Attorney.
b. If the above described section of Adams Street is
improved prior to the time that the developer
installs the Adams Street half-width improvements
adjacent to the project boundary, the developer shall
pay his fair share" portion of the cost in accordance
with the approved reimbursement agreements between the
City and adjacent landowners or developers.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
Based upon the findings contained in the staff report, the City
Council approves Tentative Tract Map No. 19458, as amended, in
accordance with the exhibits and subject to the attached conditions.

CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: The Planning Commission * *<
Date: February 7, 1984
Subject: CHANGE OF ZONE CASE NO. 83-005, A Request to Change Zoning
from A-l-l0 to R-2-12,000 and R-3/Specific Plan on a 78.3
Acre Site Located Along the South Side of 50th Avenue, One-
quarter Mile West of Jefferson Street; Morris and Grayson,
Inc., Applicant.
The attached staff report to the Planning Commission provides the
background information about the site and zoning and proposed
development in the surrounding area.
Following staff's recommendation, the Applicant originally requested
R-3 zoning on the 28.8 acre site of the proposed hotel.
At the Planning Commission study session held on January 9, 1984, the
following two major concerns were raised by the Commission regarding
the requested rezoning to R-3 General Residential):
While construction of the hotel requires R-3 zoning, the
Commission did not want to set a precedent for additional
R-3 zoning in the area. This was a major concern since
the R-3 zone permits a number of commercial uses e.g.
offices) which are not compatible with the low density
single-family residential development which will occur
in this area.
o While this destination resort hotel as designed is
compatible with the area and probable adjacent future
development, the Commission did not want to set a
precedent for additional motel or hotels on 50th Avenue.
The Planning Commission directed staff to consult the City Attorney
regarding the above concerns. The City Attorney recommended that the
lisp" Specific Plan) suffix be added see attached memorandum); this
would require that any development approval would require a specific
plan development plan) which would be subject to the review and
approval of both the Planning Commission and City Council. This is
the same procedure currently being followed in Cathedral City.
The R-3/Specific Plan zoning designation accomplishes the following
advantages:
o The Specific Plan" addendum is a legal means for the City
to limit the types of uses permitted within the R-3 zone.
With this type of zoning, the landowner does not have the

inherent right to develop the property with any of the
permitted uses allowed in the R-3 zone; rather, approval
by the City of any use is discretionary and can be denied.
o Approval of one specific plan does not establish a precedent
for another specific plan proposing the same use. Each plan
is reviewed individually on its own design and location with
respect to the surrounding area.
o The Specific Plan" addendum recognizes that the determination
of compatibility cannot be based only on the general type of
use proposed, but rather that the design and location of the
project are integral factors.
The Applicant agreed with the concerns raised by the Planning Commission
and stated that he supported the change of zone to R-3/SP General
Residential/Specific Plan Required).
Following review of the proposed resort hotel Specific Plan 84-003)
at its January 20, 1984 hearing, the Planning Commission voted
unanimously to recommend approval of the zoning to R-3/SP and
R-2-12 000.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
Based upon the findings contained in the staff report, the City
Council approves Change of Zone No. 83-005 from A-l-l0 to R-3/SP
and R-2-12,0O0, in accordance with Exhibit A, as amended.

JKRKZ_7h MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To The Honorable Chairman and M*ibers of the Planning Coniflission
From. Sandra L. Bonner, Principal Planner
Date: January 20, 1984
Subject: SP*IFIC PL** NO.84-003, A Regilest to Oonstnict a 60-Unit Resort Hotel
on a 28.8 Acre Site Located Along the South Side of 50th Avenue,
One-garter Mile *st of Jefferson Street; Morris and Crayson, Inc.,
Applicant
The Applicant is requesting approval to construct a 60-unit resort hotel with a
fitness spa and a restaurant. The restaurant will be open to the public however,
it is being operated primarily for the convenience of the hotel guests. The proposed
recreational facilities will include six 6) pools, a guest library and an outdoor
theatre; the Applicant has stated that the guests will also have the use of the
La Ouinta Hotel Golf and Tennis Club facilities.
This proposal was submitted concurrently with Change of Zone Case No.83-005
requesting R-3 General Pesidential) zoning for the hotel site. The proposed hotel
is consistent with the requirements of the *inicipal Zoning Ordinance, Section 21.39,
regarding accessory commercial uses operated as a part of a resort hotel see attached).
The restaurant c*rises approximately 10% of the total ground floor area of the hotel
excluding garage area), which is below the maxb]rn 20% allowed. In addition, the
seating capacity of the restaurant 85 persons indoors, a total of 150 persons both
indoors and on the terraces) indicates that the size of the restaurant is reasonable
with respect to the number of hotel units.
Intensity of the Proposed Use
Although a hotel is a c*rcial use, this project as designed is a very low intensity
use. The density of the project is only two ro*ns per acre, which is below even the
maxirtu* residential density of three dwellings per acre allowed by the general plan.
Another indicator of land use intensity is the percentage of the lot developed with
structures; less than 8% of this site will be covered by buildings. As a point of
reference, Tract 18767 Duna La Quinta) approved by the Planning Commission had a
density of three 3) dwellings per acre with 19% of the site covered with buildings.
In addition, it should be noted that this project is designed as a destination resort,
where people ccce to stay on vacation rather than only stay overnight during their
travels. Oonseguently, this type of hotel provides for a far higher level of amenities
and recreational facilities than a standard hotel. In addition, because of its nature
as a destination resort, with its guests staying more than one night, this type of use
generates less traffic than a conventional hotel.
Lastly, unlike a sTh*le hotel or rr*tel, a destination resort can be compatible with
adjacent low*density single-family residential hanes. The characteristics associated
with this project specifically, the &nall number of units, the large site, the high
level of amenities, the large building setbacks fr* adjoining property and streets,

CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Frank M. Usher, City Manager
Date: February 3, 1984
Subject: Acceptance of Ownership & Maintenance of Eisenhower Drive
and Washington Street Bridges
When the bridges across the La Quinta Stormwater Evacuation
Channel for Eisenhower Drive and Washington Street were
planned, it was agreed between the Coachella Valley Water
District and the Riverside County Road Department that
upon completion, the bridges would be accepted by Riverside
County for ownership and maintenance. With incorporation,
this responsibility now becomes the responsibility of the
City of La Quinta, and the Water District has formally
requested that the City accept the bridges. This is the
procedure normally followed with new bridges in all cities
because the maintenance of the public right-of-way is a
municipal responsibility.
It is respectfully recommended that the accompanying
resolution be adopted.

JKRKZ_[h MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: Frank Usher, City Manager
From: Ray Ott
Date: January 25, 1984
Subject: Proposed School Impact Fees
The attached letter and sample resolution regarding the above
subject was just received from attorney Dallas Holmes representing
the Desert Sands Unified School District. The proposed resolution
would be based upon the previously supposed authority of the City
under CEQA to formulate special measures to mitigate adverse
environmental impacts brought about by residential development.
The power to do this with regard to school impact fees has been
thought to exist under the City's general police power" granted by
Article II, Section 7 of the California Constitution.
However, at the time the subject was presented to the Council
on January 16, 1984, neither Dallas Holmes nor I had become apprised
of the decision of the Court of Appeal, Fourth District La Quinta
is in the Fourth District) in the case of Candid Enterprises, Inc.,
vs. Grossmont High School District. 12-21-83). A copy of that
decision is attached hereto for your information. The court held
that the subject of school impaction fees is preempted by Government
Code Sections 65970 to 65981.
Under the holding of that case, the result is that any school
impaction fee must conform to the requirements of those sections.
This court decision combines with Public Resources Code Section 21004
which took effect 1-1-83) to say that CEQA does not provide any
different independent method of imposing this kind of fee.
You will note that the resolution proposed by Dallas Holmes for
adoption by the La Quinta City Council does not conform with
Government Code Sections 65970-65981. Therefore, it could not
validly be adopted in its present form if the Candid Enterprises
case represents the final rule. It is possible, of course, that
the case may be further appealed to the Supreme Court, but in the
meantime the City's appropriate course of action in adopting or
not adopting the fee in the form proposed, will have to be closely
considered.

Mr. Frank Usher, City Manager
City of La Quinta
P. 0. Box 1504
La Quinta, California 92253
Dear Frank:
Thank you for taking the time to talk with me regarding the possibility
of developers' fees in the City of La Quinta. Since we met with the
city council at the study session, a court decision relating to devel-
opers fees has been handed down by the Fourth District Appellate Court.
This decision, if it stands, places a cloud over the possibility of
developers' fees within the state. It is my understanding that the
Grossmont School District appealed this decision to the California
Supreme Court last week. We will know within thirty days whether or
not the Supreme Court will hear the case. Obviously, to request
that the La Quinta City Council take action on developers at this
time would be inappropriate. In discussing this matter with our
school board, it is their decision not to place the La Quinta City
Council in a potentially awkward situation. Therefore, we are requesting
that no action be taken at this time, but that we await developments in
the judicial system.
In the meantime, be assured that we are continuing our work to build
a school in La Quinta. We wish to work very closely with you in
determining the location for that school. To that end, I will contact
you in the next few days to discuss possible specific sites.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and standing in this important
school matter.
el**ours*
