CONSIDERATION OF AN APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION ON SIGN APPLICATION 2002-668, A REQUEST FOR AN AMENDMENT TO AN APPROVED SIGN PROGRAM TO ALLOW REVISED SIGNS FOR ROSS DRESS FOR LESS, LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF HIGHWAY 111, EAST OF WASHINGTON STREET WITHIN THE ONE ELEVEN LA QUINTA SHOPPING CENTER. APPELLANT: BILL MOORE AND ASSOCIATES. Community Development Director Herman presented the staff report. In response to Council Member Henderson, Mr. Herman stated Ross does not have a standard sign size. In response to Council Member Sniff, Mr. Herman stated the requested logo signs are 24 inches high, and that all of the signs will be illuminated. He confirmed the fascia for Ross is larger than the neighboring storefronts. Council Member Henderson noted the larger fascia may call for larger letters. Mr. Herman stated the Planning Commission didn't feel the sign should be any larger than the neighboring storefront signs because they are all seen from the same distance on Highway 111. He confirmed staff's recommendation was for 45-inch letters. He stated the Staples' letters are 3 feet 3 inches high and Stater Bros. is 4 feet high. Council Member Sniff stated he feels a larger sign on a larger building is in order, and noted there is no consistency to follow in the size of the signs. Dave Smoley, 78-780 Spyglass Hill, of 111 La Quinta Shopping Center, urged Council to allow the sign to be in scale with the size of the building. Heather Haskell, 1057 Solano Avenue, Albany, representing the appellant, stated Ross' standard sign size is 72 inches but they are only asking for 60 inches in this case. She stated they feel there will be a lot of negative space if the sign is not large enough, and that they would also like approval for the two logo signs. Mayor Adolph commented on the importance of signage but stated he doesn't feel it should be dominant. Mr. Smoley suggested a compromise of 54 inches. City Council Minutes 5 January 21, 2003 Council Member Perkins voiced concern that other businesses will want larger signs if this one is approved. He stated he would support the Planning Commission's decision except for the two logo signs. Council Member Henderson noted the landscaping along Highway 111 is beginning to mature and obscuring signage on the buildings. She didn't object to staff's recommendation of 45 inches but will not support 60 inches. Council Member Osborne concurred. Council Member Sniff suggested allowing a 48-inch sign along with the two logo signs. Mayor Adolph stated he would support 45 or 48 inches to be compatible with the face of the building. He also supported the request for two logo signs. MOTION -It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Henderson to approve the appeal by Bill Moore & Associates to allow a sign with 48-inch letters and two logo signs for Ross Dress for Less. Council Member Perkins stated he could not support 48 inches. Mr. Herman requested clarification if the motion was 48-inch letters for "Ross" and 24-inch letters for "Dress For Less" as recommended by staff. Council Members Sniff and Henderson confirmed that was the intent of the motion. Motion carried with Council Member Perkins voting NO. MINUTE ORDER NO. 2003-007. 2. CONSIDERATION OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE LOAN AGREEMENT WITH SUNLINE TRANSIT AGENCY. Community Services Director Horvitz presented the staff report. Council Member Perkins asked how far the vehicles can travel on a charge, to which Ms. Horvitz replied, "25 miles or less." In response to Council Member Osborne, Ms. Horvitz stated it's anticipated that one vehicle will be stored at the La Quinta Senior Center and used to transport City Council Minutes 6 January 21, 2003 materials to and from City Hall. The second vehicle would be stored at City Hall near the loading dock. Council Member Sniff asked if two charging facilities would be required since they would be stored in two different locations. He also referenced the safety issue of charging the vehicles in a well-ventilated area, and asked how often the vehicles would be used by staff to go to Fritz Burns Park. Ms. Horvitz stated standard voltage is used for charging, and that all safety precautions would be followed. She advised the number of trips to Fritz Burns Park will vary depending on that month's activities. Council Member Henderson asked about using the vehicles during the star gazing events to transport people. She asked if the vehicles would be insured. Ms. Horvitz noted the vehicles will carry only two people at a time. As for the insurance, she advised the City would be a third-party insured, and would be responsible if anything is damaged, lost, or stolen. In response to Council Member Sniff, Ms. Horvitz stated although the vehicles are smaller than electric vehicles used in the past, they can be used for utility purposes in short distances from City Hall in place of gas vehicles. She stated she understood SunLine is making the same offer to other cities. Council Member Henderson asked if the vehicles would be able to travel up the Bear Creek Bike Path, to which Ms. Horvitz responded, "yes." In response to Council Member Perkins, City Manager Genovese stated the City's insurance will cover liability issues. Council Member Perkins asked if this is going to affect the Crystal Chrysler offer, to which Ms. Horvitz responded, "no." MOTION - It was moved by Council Members Perkins/Sniff to approve an Electric Vehicle Loan Agreement with SunLine Transit Agency, and authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the agreement. Mayor Adolph commented on the safety aspect of being familiar with the vehicles before operating them, as well as not driving them on busy streets. In response to Council Member Perkins, Ms. Horvitz confirmed the vehicles will be street legal. She wasn't sure when the vehicles would be received. City Council Minutes 7 January 21, 2003 In response to Council Member Sniff, Mr. Genovese stated he believes the City has equipment that could transport the vehicles if needed. He added a trailer can be purchased if additional electric vehicles are received. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 2003-008. 3. CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTANCE OF THE LA QUINTA COURT ART FEATURE. Community Services Director Horvitz presented the staff report. Council Member Perkins asked if the art piece will belong to the City once the Notice of Completion is filed, to which Ms. Horvitz responded, "yes." In response to Council Member Sniff, Ms. Horvitz stated the art piece can be modified once the City has ownership, but the artist has to be notified. City Attorney Jenson advised she would have to review the Art Purchase Agreement to verify the City's right to modify the art piece. Council Member Sniff voiced disappointment with the art piece, and suggested the underwater colored lens be lightened. He didn't feel the art piece has any real value if it is not any better than the art piece across Highway 111. Council Member Osborne stated he feels the fountain is small compared to the size of the building, and suggested staff and the Cultural Arts Commission take a look at the site to see what can be done to improve that corner. Council Member Henderson noted the issue is whether or not to accept the art piece as complete. She feels the landscaping has been dwarfed with the large concrete area, and had previously understood the restaurant would be using that area for outdoor seating. She supported accepting the art piece as complete, and having staff come back with modifications. Mayor Adolph voiced disappointment with the art piece and the way the corner looks. He stated the decorative lighting is hard to see at night, and noted the original approval was for one large fountain. He also feels the corner lacks any height element. He supported moving forward with acceptance of the art piece and looking to make some modifications. He added he is not happy with the art piece across the street, nor with the Point Happy sign on the opposite corner, and noted the electrical conduit is visible. City Council Minutes 8 January 21, 2003 In response to Council Member Sniff, City Manager Genovese confirmed the contractor has completed the art piece per the agreement, and that artistic view of what has been completed may be more at issue, as opposed to the contract. MOTION - It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Osborne to accept the La Quinta Court Art Feature as complete, direct staff to issue Notice of Completion, and appropriate $1,200 from the Art in Public Places Fund for utility meters for the art piece. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 2003-009. 4. CONSIDERATION OF THE CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION'S SPRING EVENT. Community Services Director Horvitz presented the staff report, and advised the Cultural Arts Commission would like to change the date of the event to March 22nd. In response to Council Member Osborne, Ms. Horvitz stated the music event will be a jazz band in the early to late afternoon with fireworks in the evening. Council Member Osborne noted there is nothing in the event for the City's youth. In response to Council Member Sniff, Ms. Horvitz stated the target is adults and children. Council Member Sniff commented on the element of mess and danger related to having fireworks, especially in a confined area. He also commented on the need to advertise the event to get attendance, and asked about the dates of the Arts Festival. Community Development Director Herman advised the Arts Festival will be held March 20-23, 2003. Council Member Henderson pointed out there were previous discussions about having this event the same day as the City picnic in order to get better attendance. She commented on the difficulty of getting people to attend too many events, and noted the Council has a lot of activities and meetings to attend. She asked about the rational in changing the date. Else Loudon, of the Cultural Arts Commission, stated the Commission was concerned about Iow attendance if the activities were split into two days. She City Council Minutes 9 January 21, 2003 commented on the need for musical events in the community, and stated the jazz band is not available on March 29th as originally planned. Council Member Henderson noted March is a difficult month for outdoor events because of the wind, and she is hesitant to include the expense of fireworks that may have to be cancelled at the last minute. Council Member Perkins questioned the location being good for fireworks because it is close to residential. He suggested having the music event on the Friday night before the City picnic. He didn't feel there is enough community interest to have too many events. Council Member Osborne suggested the funds for the fireworks could be spent on music for the youth at the picnic. Ms. Loudon noted the picnic is toward families, and she feels the fireworks will be a great ending that will draw a lot of people. She advised the jazz band is charging less than their normal fee and will be providing their own equipment. Council Member Henderson pointed out some of the Council Members will be attending an event at Desert Resorts Regional Airport on April 25th between 4:00 and 7:00 p.m. After a few additional comments, Council concurred with having music and fireworks on Friday night (April 25th) followed by the City picnic on Saturday (April 26th). Staff was given discretion in selecting an appropriate site for the fireworks. MOTION -It was moved by Council Members Henderson/Sniff to approve the Spring performing arts event recommended by the Cultural Arts Commission, and direct staff to move forward with the music/fireworks event on Friday evening, April 25, and the City picnic on April 26. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 2003-010. 5. SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 380 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 11.96 OF THE LA QUINTA MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADD SECTION 11.96.020 SETTING FORTH REGULATIONS FOR THE USE OF SKATEBOARDING PARK AREAS. City Council Minutes 10 January 21, 2003 It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Henderson to adopt Ordinance No. 380 on second reading. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Council Members Henderson, Osborne, Perkins, Sniff, Mayor Adolph NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None STUDY SESSION - None REPORTS AND INFORMATIONAL ITEMS C. V. Mosquito & Vector Control District -- Council Member Perkins announced attendance at the Mosquito Abatement Districts Conference held in Palm Springs recently was the largest ever for the State conference. C. V. Mountains Conservancy -- Council Member Sniff reported on the possibility of multiple agencies going together to purchase a 9,000-acre site in the north section of the Valley. League of California Cities-Riverside Division -- Council Member Henderson stated the League President is asking cities to take an active position in supporting an increase in Vehicle License Fees (VLF). She added the State is going to discontinue backfilling to the cities out of the general fund unless the VLF fee amounts are reinstated. Council Member Perkins questioned there being any surety that the State won't go ahead and take the funds from cities even if the cities support the increase. Mayor Adolph stated he feels it is important for the City to be on record regarding this issue. Council Member Henderson suggested the issue come back to Council as a business item. Palm Springs Desert Resorts Convention & Visitor's Authority -- Council Member Henderson reported progress on the new building plans was discussed at the last meeting, and she will update Council as the plans move forward. She stated their annual luncheon will be held January 27 and Council is invited. She said hotel occupancies are improving, except for a few cities, and that the Authority is re- directing its market to the drive in market. City Council Minutes 11 January 21, 2003 Council Member Sniff voiced concern about Canada's consideration of limiting the length of time its citizens may stay out of the country. Council Member Henderson stated the Authority is also working with the Palm Springs International Airport Commission staff on a new sign at the airport that will identify the individual cities instead of reading, "East Valley Cities." The Authority has requested that the final design come back to them for approval. Riverside County Transportation Commission -- Council Member Henderson reported the State budget effect on transportation issues was the main topic of discussion at their last meeting.. She stated CVAG's position is that the four major projects maintain their priority status for State and Federal funding through RCTC. She noted Jefferson Street is a Measure A project and should be online there if the other funding does not come through. She feels the City should push for Measure A funding because Federal funding requires environmental to be done, which will delay the project. Investment Advisory Board Minutes -- Council Member Perkins stated he is more concerned than ever about the City's LAIF investments. Council Member Osborne stated out of $49 billion in LAIF funds, only $28-$29 billion represents amounts held for municipalities and none of that can be loaned to the State. He stated the Investment Advisory Board is pushing to get a breakdown on where the cities' portions are invested. All other reports were noted and filed. DEPARTMENT REPORTS 1-C. UPDATE REGARDING STATE BUDGET. City Manager Genovese advised the State has already taken some redevelopment money from the City and will probably take more next year. Staff will continue to monitor the State's financial condition and write correspondence in objection to the State's point of view. He stated the VLF will probably be a two or three-year issue. He noted the City is being forced to react once again to the mismanagement of funds by the State, who will be utilizing the City's good work to make them look better. City Council Minutes 12 January 21, 2003 In response to Council Member Sniff, Mr. Genovese stated the City has lost $723,000 in redevelopment monies this year, with next year's amount expected to be higher. He noted eight or nine years ago the State took approximately $2.5 million in redevelopment monies, which is why the City could not move forward with the Cove street improvements at that time. He stated the loss of VLF funds will affect the City's operating budget and be a direct hit on the General Fund. The loss of redevelopment monies will affect the City's ability to do capital improvement projects because it will be difficult to advance funds for those projects. Mayor Adolph requested staff bring the figures back in the form of a balance sheet to show an estimate of what monies will be taken away and what projects it will affect. Mr. Genovese advised the affect on particular projects will be determined during the budget review process. 3-B. REPORT ON INVESTMENT ADVISORY BOARD VACANCY. Council Member Henderson suggested dealing with the vacancy in June when Commission/Board appointments are made, and noted that may be the appropriate time to consider making it a five-member board. Council Member Osborne concurred. Council Member Sniff suggested not changing the ordinance to a five-member Board but rather leaving the position(s) vacant. 1-A. RESPONSE TO PUBLIC COMMENT. In response to Council Member Henderson, Building & Safety Director Hartung stated staff has provided Mrs. Blunt with the paperwork to request a lot line adjustment between her property and the adjoining property. The lot line adjustment will be recorded and go along with an easement so that the people who had the property will continue to be able to use it but the property will become part of Mrs. Blunt's property. 5-A. REVIEW OF LANDSCAPING ENHANCEMENTS AT LA QUINTA COURT. After a brief discussion, Council concurred to direct staff to bring this matter back to Council for discussion. City Council Minutes 13 January 21, 2003 9. POLICE CHIEF REPORT. Mayor Adolph thanked Police Chief Horton for the thorough report and outstanding manner in which Chief Horton handled an issue that he referred to him. Council Member Henderson concurred that it was a thorough report but added the issue has not gone away. Council Member Sniff stated he felt the dedication of the Community Policing Station was an awesome event. Council Member Perkins stated he has always been against the idea of having a substation but feels this one has been set up in the correct manner. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS' ITEMS 1. DISCUSSION REGARDING CITY COUNCIL COMPENSATION. Council Member Perkins noted it has been four years since the Council had a raise. He feels the current compensation is insufficient for the amount of time the Council puts in, and requested the issue be included in this year's budget for discussion. 2. DISCUSSION REGARDING PARKING SPACE AND SPEED BUMP REQUIREMENTS. Council Member Perkins commented on some of the new developments not having double-lined parking stalls and on the large speed bumps in the Point Happy development. He requested Council take a look at the parking space requirements for possible modification, and the requirements for speed bumps. 3. DISCUSSION REGARDING DONATION IN MEMORY OF HONEY ATKINS. Mayor Adolph suggested a nominal donation to the American Cancer Society in memory of Honey Atkins' recent passing and for her service to the community. Council Member Henderson stated she agrees Ms. Atkins was a great lady in the community but noted there are many such people in the City, and when City Council Minutes 14 January 21, 2003 does the Council say yes or no to making a donation in memory of them. She noted a few years ago the previous mayor declared Honey Atkins' birthday as "Honey Atkins Day" but it was not official. She suggested the matter be placed on a future agenda as a business item for Council to consider officially declaring her birthday as "Honey Atkins Day." Mayor Adolph stated he doesn't have a problem with that as long as something is done to recognize her services to the City. Council Member Perkins stated he doesn't object to a small donation but feels the "Honey Atkins Day" is the way to go. He suggested the matter be placed on the next agenda for Council's consideration. Council Member Sniff agreed there are a lot of worthy people in the community, and that there is some risk as to how this could go. He feels it would be good to honor Ms. Atkins' memory in some way. He also supported Council Member Perkins' suggestion to take a look at Council compensation. Council Member Perkins also suggested the City Clerk's Office mail condolence cards from the City when one of its citizens passes away. Council Member Osborne concurred. Council recessed to the Financing Authority meeting. Council reconvened and recessed to the Redevelopment Agency meeting. Council reconvened and recessed to and until 7:00 p.m. 7:00 P.M. PUBLIC COMMENT Audrey Ostrowsky, P. O. Box 351, stated someone shot a BB through her window, and asked that the use of BB guns be restricted like other guns.
