He also suggested the City provide financial assistance to the families who were displaced because of the fire.

City Council Minutes 9 March 6, 2001 Council Member Sniff stated he did not object to providing support to the Red Cross but wished to see the City show direct support to the tenants by providing some modest financial assistance.

Council Member Adolph suggested the possibility of helping through the bank that is helping the victims. Mayor Pe~a suggested the matter be referred to staff for more information. Council Member Perkins noted the need is immediate. He suggested providing $500 to each of the eight families/tenants and direct staff to come back to Council with consideration of a donation to Red Cross. He was looking at a total of $10,000 between the families and Red Cross. City Manager Genovese noted the matter would need to be added to the agenda to allocate funds.

He felt this may have left those who voted in favor of the project feeling like they had only the option of going along with a development that is much needed in the village or hope that another development comes along later. He advised after the Council meeting he sent an E-mail to P. Keipper, Hilton Hotel's Vice President of Franchise Design and Construction and Managing Director of the Western Region, and asked for information regarding what kind of Embassy Suite hotels they build.

He also referred to a memo from the Public Works Department regarding requested changes to the specific plan conditions of approval and noted "northeast" in Condition No. 6(A)(2) and in Condition No. 40(A)(4) should read "northwest." In response to Council Member Adolph, Mr. Herman confirmed the specific plan shows the future street vacation of the north end of Avenida Bermudas. The conceptual landscaping plan will come back for formal review, the walls around the gated community will be reviewed at staff level, and the only construction approvals under consideration at this time are the residential and corporate center. The commercial and distribution center will come back at a future date with their own village use permits. He advised the Planning Commission has recommended a maximum height of 37 feet for all residential units and 50% of City Council Minutes 13 March 6, 2001 the parking area will be covered with materials specified in the design guidelines. He stated access to the remote parking lot will be off Avenida Bermudas. Chevis Hosea, 55-920 PGA Boulevard, of KSL Land Development, stated homeowners will have an opportunity to lease their units which will provide moderate-priced lodging in La Quinta. In response to Mayor Pe~a, Mr. Hosea stated current resort housing prices range from $475,000 to $1.1 million and 90 out of the 98 new units are involved with the leasing program. He advised KSL plans to sell the residential portion of the project to another builder, with access to KSL's lease program, but KSL will build it themselves if they don't find a builder to buy into the proposed model concept. He felt a key element of the project is that it will provide critical mass to the village. He stated although the project is planned as a gated community, KSL is requesting it not be conditioned as a gated community at this time. In response to Council Member Adolph, Mr. Hosea confirmed meandering walls will be used around the perimeter of the project and the lake will serve as the primary collection basin for storm water runoff. Council Member Henderson suggested planting date trees around the perimeter along with erection of a historical plaque recognizing the previously-existing date grove. Mr. Hosea agreed to include it in the design. In response to Council Member Sniff, Mr. Hosea stated their market study confirms a demonstrated market for the proposed number of units at this cost. As for anticipated transient occupancy tax (TOT), he noted KSL paid $500,000 last year in TOT for 50 resort home lease units at a 52% annual occupancy rate and KSL anticipates 40% annual occupancy for the proposed units. The seasonal rates vary according to length of stay. He confirmed the project is required to construct street improvements on Eisenhower Drive and will address the clay soil issue in developing the property. He stated currently they plan to use domestic water for the lake which, will have a maximum depth of eight feet, but intend to work with CVWD to get canal water to the lake. Council Member Sniff commented on water evaporation and voiced concern that the lake might baa waste of underground water. He encouraged KSLto find an alternate water source. City Council Minutes 14 March 6, 2001 Mr. Hosea stated in order to comply with the water conservation ordinance, the project has been designed with less green space and a beach area around the lake. He stated the modular office building will be built to code and assembled onsite and the commercial building pads will serve as a source of supportive retail for the residential area. He confirmed the project will be built in phases. KSL hopes to complete and occupy the office building by September 2001, and will construct half of the parking lot (approximately 375 spaces) this year. He added KSL hopes the residential developer will begin construction in the fall. In response to Mayor Pe~a, Mr. Hosea stated the current remote parking lot at Eisenhower Drive and Avenue 50 will be sold for residential use. Council Member Henderson voiced concern that the homeowners might decide not to maintain the project as resort residential. Mr. Hosea confirmed homeowners would not be required to use KSL for property management but KSL tries to create and manage an environment that is acceptable for owner/occupant living, He added homeowners will be made aware of the potential leasing activities in the development. In response to Council Member Henderson, Mr. Herman advised the project cannot be conditioned to prevent it converting to strictly residential because it's a permitted use in the village. Mr. Hosea noted some cities have zoning regulations that support resort residential uses by restricting owner occupancy in such developments to six months a year. In response to Council Member Adolph, Mr. Hosea confirmed the 750 to 1,400 square foot units are designed more as hotel suites than year-round residential dwellings. He also confirmed the possibility of modular units being used for the commercial buildings. Forrest Haag, representing KSL Development Corporation, reviewed the elevations for the corporate center and perimeter setbacks for the project. In response to Council Member Henderson, Public Works Director Vogt advised the project is not conditioned to install traffic signals at Calle Tampico and Avenida Bermudas or at Calle Tampico and Eisenhower Drive because the signals were identified in the CIP for installation using Developer Impact Fees. Jack Di Benedetto, representing Williams Scotsman, reviewed plans for the modular office building and stated it will have a conventional truss roof. City Council Minutes 15 March 6, 2001 There being no further requests to speak, the Mayor declared the PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED at 8:20 p.m. Council Member Adolph stated he supports the project and that his only disappointment is that it does not include a roundabout. Council Member Henderson stated her only concern is that the modular building not look like a modular building once it is completed.
