Respectfully submitted, WANDA WISE-LATTA, Executive Assistant City of La Quinta, California PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES 7 SEPTEMBER 13, 2016 PH 1 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DATE: OCTOBER 11, 2016 CASE NUMBER: VILLAGE USE PERMIT 2013-048 APPLICANT: ROBERT J. NOVELLO PROPERTY OWNER: GRIFFITH INVESTMENTS REQUEST: APPROVAL OF AN EXPANSION TO THE CRAB POT RESTAURANT CEQA: THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT THIS PROJECT IS EXEMPT FROM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PURSUANT TO SECTION 15301 OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT IN THAT THE PROPOSED PROJECT CAN BE CHARACTERIZED AS AN EXISTING FACILITY LOCATION: 78121 AVENIDA LA FONDA RECOMMENDATION Adopt a resolution approving Village Use Permit 2013-048, an expansion to the Crab Pot restaurant. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • The applicant proposes a 1,800 square foot expansion to the Crab Pot restaurant (Attachment 1). • The proposal does not meet on -site parking requirements. However, the City Council has encouraged reduced parking requirements in the Village. • As conditioned, the proposal will comply with applicable General Plan goals, policies, and programs, as well as zoning development standards. BACKGROUND The Crab Pot is located on the southwest corner of Desert Club Drive and Avenida La Fonda in the La Quinta Village (Attachment 2). The location has been a restaurant site since the late 1970s, with the Crab Pot opening in 2007. A vacant lot exists to the west, between the Crab Pot and the former Desert Sage restaurant. This lot was purchased and merged by the Crab Pot in order to expand the restaurant. Page 1 of 4 PROPOSAL & ANALYSIS The existing restaurant includes approximately 2,970 square feet of interior dining/kitchen area and 1,500 square feet of outdoor dining space. The proposal is for an 1,800 square foot expansion, which includes an interior dining area, a seasonal indoor/outdoor dining area, and a new restroom (Attachment 3). If approved, the restaurant would be 6,261 square feet. Along the property frontage, the proposal includes a new glass panel fence treatment that matches the existing patio fence. Within the expanded interior, movable glass panels will be utilized to allow for seasonal use of the dining areas. The expansion will complement the architectural style of the existing restaurant, and will be 17'-5" to the top of the new roof element. No new landscaping or lighting is proposed. Parking: The parking history for the restaurant site can be summarized as follows: • Chez Monique (1978) o 1,929 square foot restaurant (8 total on -site spaces) • Andrew's Bar & Grill (2001) o Added indoor/outdoor dining and kitchen area (6 total on -site spaces) • Crab Pot (2011) o Added refrigeration area (6 total on -site spaces) ■ Three regular, two employee (non -conforming), one ADA Currently, there is approximately 4,461 square feet of restaurant space and six on -site parking stalls. The proposed expansion would remove a space, resulting in a total restaurant area of 6,261 square feet and five on -site parking spaces. In July, 2014, staff determined that the proposed expansion requires 18 on -site parking spaces based on the Municipal Code standard of 1 space/75 square feet of restaurant area applied to the new patio/dining area and 75% of new customer circulation area (1,360 square feet). It is infeasible for the applicant to provide these spaces on -site; therefore, staff encouraged the applicant to participate in a shared parking agreement with neighboring businesses or pay a Village parking in -lieu fee. The proposal did not proceed due to the inability to satisfy the parking requirement. In 2015, the applicant was notified of the interim parking ordinance, which allows for a 50% reduction in required parking, reducing the number of spaces required to nine on -site spaces. The applicant requests that the Planning Commission approve a parking reduction from nine to zero parking spaces, without a requirement of the applicant to enter into a shared parking agreement or pay parking in -lieu fees. The City Council has recently expressed further support for parking flexibility in the Village, even suggesting a "zero parking" requirement for building expansions. The Village Commercial zoning district development standards allow the Planning Commission to approve variations from parking standards. Page 2 of 4 Staff supports the parking reduction for the expansion based on the parking occupancy and surplus identified in Village parking surveys conducted in 2006 and 2016. Parking survey results of the 2006 Village District Parking Study identified a Village Core parking occupancy of 52.6% and surplus of 253 spaces at the peak time of Wednesday at 12:00 p.m. (January). A parking survey completed in August 2016 identified a Village Core parking occupancy of 40% and surplus of 471 spaces at the peak time of Tuesday at 12:00 p.m. Opposition from Neighboring Property Owner: Mr. Wells Marvin, owner of Old Town La Quinta and the multi -tenant building to the south of Crab Pot, has expressed opposition to the proposed expansion, primarily due to the lack of proposed parking (Attachment 4). In response to his concerns, staff has concluded the following: • As mentioned in the parking summary above, there are six existing on -site spaces (three regular, two employee, one ADA); the two employee spaces are non -conforming, and there is often a truck parked in two of the regular spaces, which could be why Mr. Marvin references only two available parking spaces • The applicant/property owner is not aware of any parking lot lease agreement with Mr. Marvin, nor have they been approached about this agreement • The applicant did obtain building permits for the patio enclosure; however, no permits were issued for air conditioning for the enclosure ARCHITECTURAL AND LANDSCAPING REVIEW BOARD RECOMMENDATION On September 14, 2016, the Architectural and Landscaping Review Board reviewed and recommended approval of the proposal. The Board recommended adjusting the top of the south elevation by replacing the tile treatment with a parapet to match the existing elevation (Attachment 5). The Planning Commission should consider this request. AGENCY & PUBLIC REVIEW Public Agency Review: This request was sent to all applicable City departments and affected public agencies. All written comments received are on file and available for review with the Design and Development Department. All applicable comments have been adequately addressed and/or incorporated in the recommended Conditions of Approval. Public Notice: This project was advertised in The Desert Sun newspaper on September 30, 2016, and mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the site. To date, no comments have been received. Any written comments received will be handed out at the Planning Commission hearing. Page 3 of 4 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The La Quinta Design and Development Department has determined that this project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act in that the proposed project can be characterized as an existing facility. The La Quinta Planning Commission will consider this determination at the hearing. Prepared by: Jay S. Wuu, AICP, Principal Planner Approved by: Gabriel Perez, Planning Manager Attachments: 1.

This owner has pushed the envelope and has not been a good neighbor to me where I own buildings both across the street and behind him. As you know I own Old Town and I own 78120 Calle Estado. Because this restaurant has only two spaces on site they rely on parking for both employees and customers on property they don't own. Their employees and customers continue to use both my parking lot at 78120 Calle Estado and the Old Town parking lots to absorb there lack of parking. We have asked them not to do this many times but has always been ignored. It is important to look at the history of the use of this restaurant. It was originally Chez Monique a dive biker bar that even the Sheriff did not want to enter. It was then converted with a special use permit and doubled in size to reopen as Andrew's Bar and Grill an upscale restaurant. At that time the City required that Andrew's secure parking to meet most or all of the parking required for such and intensive use. They did this by entering into a parking lot lease agreement with me to provide parking for them after 6;00 PM. on property I owned. The City Subsequently let the Crab Pot open with only two parking spaces and no lease of additional spaces. To add insult to injury you then allowed them to double the size of the restaurant again by enclosing their patio. I understand this may or may not have been done with proper approvals and permits. If so they should be required to remove the improvements. Still you never enforced you own parking requirements in the Village by requiring them to buy land for parking, lease spaces or pay in -lieu fees to the City for their lack of parking. Everyone else in the Village plays by the rules but this building owner does not. You must enforce your laws and the City requirements and must not allow continued use of this property as a restaurant unless they meet all parking requirements. I would add that we have complained for years that this restaurant has cleaned the mats from their restaurant in the alley behind the restaurant and let this dirty, toxic water to flow down Desert Club to Tampico causing water, flies and food debris to accumulate in the gutter. Again they have been told about this and don nothing. This restaurant is a nuisance and both the City and the County Health Dept. shout investigate this and take appropriate action.

The City Council acted to remove Chapter 2.35, Historic Preservation Commission, from the Municipal Code including references to the HPC in Title 7, Historic Preservation. The Council action was based on the following considerations: • Cultural resource monitoring and protection is accomplished by the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); • New state tribal consultation laws, AB 52 and SB 18, promote cultural resource protection and did not exist when the HPC was established; • The development review timeframe is reduced without HPC review; • The benefits of the Certified Local Government program have not been substantial and scarce City resources are necessary to maintain the Historic Preservation Commission; and • No landmarks or historic districts have been designated since the preparation of the 1997 and 2006 historic resource surveys. Past Historic Preservation Initiatives The past historic preservation activities conducted by the Planning Division and HPC include: • A 1997 Historic Resources Survey of citywide historic resources funded by a $15,000 grant from the Certified Local Government Program. A total of 72 properties were identified as eligible for landmark status. • A 2006 Historic Site Survey update funded by the City in the amount of $25,000. The survey identified 183 buildings that were recorded into the California Historical Resources Inventory, but not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places or the California Register of Historical Resources. A total of 74 buildings were not recorded, but noted in the survey. • A 2011 Historic Preservation Fund Grant in the amount of $10,000 to consolidate and digitize existing historic resource data in a searchable database. 78-495 Calle Tampico I La Quinta I California 92253 1 760.777.7000 1 www.La-Quinta.org Title 7 Historic Preservation The responsibilities of the City Council and Planning Commission for the protection of historic resources, landmarks and districts are identified in Title 7 as follows: • Proposed designation of landmarks and historic districts are reviewed by the Planning Commission and recommendations are provided to the City Council. • Permit applications for building modifications in a historic district or on a designated landmark are reviewed by the Planning Commission and recommendations are provided to the City Council. Building modification work may include to tear down, demolish, construct, alter, remove or relocate any improvement to a designated landmark, or which lies in a historic district • The City Council maintains the historic resources inventory. California Environmental Quality Act project findings CEQA requires environmental review of any substantial adverse change by a proposed project in the significance of a historical, archaeological or unique paleontological resource. A cultural resources survey is prepared to determine if a proposed project is likely to cause an impact to a significant historical or archaeological resource. The HPC previously reviewed all cultural resource surveys prepared for a proposed project and made recommendations to the Planning Commission. A summary of the cultural resources survey findings is included in a project's environmental initial study along with any mitigation measures that may be required to reduce the project's impacts to a cultural resource to a level of less than significant. Any prepared cultural resource survey for a project is referenced in the environmental initial study and is available for review in the project case file for the Planning Commission or the general public. The Planning Commission is responsible for making a project finding that the processing and approval of the permit or project application is in compliance with the requirements of CEQA. Building alterations for properties in the historic resources inventory On April 19, 2016, the City Council encouraged future historic preservation efforts to continue with the leadership of the La Quinta Historical Society. Staff committed to the creation of a historic building tracking system with Trakit permitting software to prevent the demolition or significant alternation of buildings in the historic resources inventory. In August 2016, the tracking system was completed and permit technicians are alerted of buildings in the historic resources inventory before a building permit is issued. The building permit procedures for buildings in the historic resources inventory begin with the permit technician providing notice to Planning Division staff of a new building permit application that may alter a historic resource. Planning Division staff reviews the record of the property and determines if the proposed alteration will alter the historic integrity of a building that is an eligible or designated cultural resource. Planning Division staff also coordinates with the La Quinta Historical Society for the review of building permits when proposed building alterations include any of the following: 1. Building demolition; 2. Significant changes to a building footprint or floor plan; and 2 3. Alterations to a significant architectural fabric of the building (i.e. roof line, roof tiles, doors, hardware or windows). After review by Planning Division staff and the La Quinta Historical Society, building permits can be issued for work that will not alter the significance of a historic resource. Significant alterations to any of the 112 buildings determined to qualify as "historical resources" under CEQA may require further CEQA review if the work is likely to result in a substantial change to the historic resource. 3
