Genovese, City Manager 018 a, ti OF 9ti COUNCIL/RDA MEETING DATE: August 19, 2003 ITEM TITLE: Consideration of Preliminary Golf Course Routing Plan for SilverRock Ranch RECOMMENDATION: AGENDA CATEGORY: BUSINESS SESSION: CONSENT CALENDAR: STUDY SESSION: PUBLIC HEARING: That the Redevelopment Agency approve the Preliminary Golf Course Routing Plan for SilverRock Ranch and authorize Palmer Course Design Company (PCDC) to begin preparation of a final routing plan for Agency consideration in September 2003. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None for this action. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: The Redevelopment Agency authorized a contract with PCDC for golf course architectural services in July of this year. Pursuant to the contract, PCDC is to prepare and receive approval on a preliminary routing plan before beginning work on the final routing plan. Attachment 1 represents a draft preliminary routing plan for Agency review and consideration. The routing plan(s) provides the basic outline for future course alignment and design. Once the final routing plan is approved by the Agency (tentatively scheduled for September 2003), PCDC will begin work on course plans and specifications suitable for project bidding. A preliminary draft routing plan was given to representatives from Landmark Golf (retained in a special consulting role subsequent to approval of the Golf Industry Consultant Account), the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic (in consideration of their letter offer of August 7, 2003 to serve as Tournament Consultant, Attachment 2), and GMA International, in addition to members of the Agency's project staff and consultaflt,9 n received. The revis ` team. Alterations were made to that plan based on comments draft plan is generally contained within the Phase I design envelope established by the Agency's adopted Conceptual Master Plan (Attachment 3), albeit with some modification near the hotel intended to segregate the "tournament" course from the "resort" course. The routing plan allows for a course of approximately 7,700 yards, a length appreciably longer than recent and/or proposed U.S. Open venues (Attachment 4), current Hope Classic Courses (i.e., ranging from 6,512 yards to 7,060 yards), and the recently remodeled Augusta National Golf Club (i.e., "The Masters" venue at 7,290 yards) . The draft preliminary routing plan is a work in progress and is before the Agency so that Agency Members can give early and substantive comments on course layout and design before significant expenses are incurred in the preparation of final plans and specifications. The draft plan included as Attachment 1 continues to be reviewed by PCDC, Agency staff and consultants. PCDC representatives will be available to discuss the draft, and possible revisions thereto, at the Agency's discretion. FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES: The alternatives available to the Agency Board include: 1. Approve the preliminary golf course routing plan for SilverRock Ranch and authorize PCDC to begin preparation of a final routing plan for Agency consideration in September 2003; or 2. Approve the preliminary routing plan for SilverRock Ranch, with modification, and authorize PCDC to begin preparation of a final routing plan for Agency consideration in September 2003; or 3. Suggest significant revision to the preliminary golf course routing plan and schedule a follow-up meeting with PCDC for additional review; or 4. Provide staff with alternative direction.

CONSENT CALENDAR: STUDY SESSION: PUBLIC HEARING: Approve revisions to the Home Purchase Second Trust Deed Loan Program that entail: (1) establishing the maximum second trust deed loan amount for low-income households to $85,000; (2) requiring a qualifying ratio of not less than 25% nor greater than 35% of the borrower's gross monthly income; and (3) funding only $1,000,000 of the $3,000,000 appropriated for second trust deed loans in the Fiscal Year 2003-04 Agency budget during the coming six months. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: The La Quinta Housing Program was adopted during the 1996-1997 Fiscal Year to facilitate the preservation and development of housing affordable to very low-, low - and moderate -income households. One program component is the Home Purchase Second Trust Deed Mortgage Loan Program ("Program") which funds "silent" second trust deed mortgage loans. To date, 197 very low-, low- and moderate -income households have received second trust deed mortgage loan assistance. Market conditions continued to significantly impact the Program during the last year in that: n�9 • Residential property sales prices continued to increase with new home sales prices increasing to an all time high. This is pricing very low-income homebuyers out of the market, and is creating greater difficulties for low- income buyers to find a home in a price range that meets the affordable housing cost criteria established by Redevelopment Law. • Interest rates remained low, which resulted in more affordable mortgage loan payments but this benefit has been offset by the price increases. • The rising residential home values limit the number of units that meet the underwriting requirements of the Program. If residential property values continue to increase, the Program may soon be limited to assisting moderate -income homebuyers. This is because in order to assist low- and very low-income buyers, the "silent" second trust deed loan amounts will need to exceed the first trust deed loan amounts so that total housing costs will meet the affordable levels established by the California Community Redevelopment Law. The Agency's standing policy is to require that the first trust deed mortgage loans must be greater than the "silent" second trust deed loans for home purchases assisted through this Program. In order to accommodate changing market conditions, limit the Agency's exposure to repurchasing units in order to preserve the Agency's second trust deed mortgages, and guard against having a second trust deed loan amount that is greater than the first trust deed loan amount, staff recommends the following changes to the Program: • Establish the maximum second trust deed loan amount for low-income households to $85,000, and maintain the maximum loan of $40,000 for moderate -income households. • Require buyers to have a primary lender -qualifying ratio of not less than 25 % or greater than 35 % of the borrower's gross monthly income. This requirement corresponds with the County of Riverside's First Time Home Buyer loan program. It also will ensure that creditworthy buyers who truly need purchase assistance are receiving Agency loans. All other Program requirements will remain the same. Staff also recommends that only $1,000,000 of the $3,000,000 currently budgeted for Fiscal Year 2003-04 is funded during the next six months, reserving $2,000,000 for the potential acquisition of a mobile home park. Staff is currently negotiating the acquisition of one mobile home park in Project Area No. 2. Funds for this acquisition would be derived from the sale of new housing bonds after the Project No. 2 Redevelopment Plan amendment is finalized. In order to insure that sufficient funds are available to acquire this park if the acquisition must be consummated prior to the sale of the housing bonds, staff is recommending that $2.0 million of the $3.0 million of funds appropriated for the Program be reserved for the next six months. If these funds are used to acquire the park, then they will be reimbursed by the housing bond 03,0 Laquinta\Ighp\2tdprogram\02program-staff rpt proceeds. If they are not needed, then the funds would be released to underwrite additional second trust deed mortgage loans. FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES: Options available to the Agency Board include: 1. Approve revisions to the Second Trust Deed Loan Program that entail: (1) establishing the maximum second trust deed - loan amount for low-income households to $85,000, (2) requiring a qualifying ratio of not less than 25% nor greater than 35 % of the borrower's gross monthly income, and (3) funding only $1,000,000 of the $3,000,000 appropriated for second trust deed loans in the 2003-04 Agency budget during the coming six months; or 2. Do not approve revisions to the Second Trust Deed Loan Program that entail: (1) establishing the maximum second trust deed loan amount for low-income households to $85,000, (2) requiring a qualifying ratio of not less than 25% nor greater than 35 % of the borrower's gross monthly income, and (3) not limiting funds for second trust deed loans during the coming six months; or 3.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: On June 17, 2003, the Agency Board approved a contract with GMA International for master plan coordination services. The scope of work includes the preparation of a water management plan (via a subcontract with PACE Engineering), a conceptual grading and drainage plan, conceptual perimeter landscape and project entry plans; review and analysis of the golf course design; and project website maintenance. GMA International and PACE Engineering are working on a draft water management report that will include projected water demand, lake and storm water drainage plans, analysis of existing on -site wells, and a recommended strategy for efficient water management. It is anticipated that the draft document will be ready for staff review within the next three weeks, then presented to the Agency Board shortly thereafter. Work is underway on the conceptual grading plan, which incorporates debris basin plans, drainage information, and lake/basin depth requirements prepared by PACE and MDS. GMA is also conducting base mapping and preparing a constraints analysis for the conceptual perimeter landscape plan, which will be completed in early September. 032 Base mapping is underway for the Avenue 52 entry concept plans. Although the Agency Board has not yet selected a theme, previous RDA discussions (Attachment 1) have suggested a "California Spanish/California Colonial" architectural style. GMA is presenting images of entry statements (Attachment 2) to facilitate discussion of possible entry styles. This item is on the agenda to allow G'MA the opportunity to update the Agency on work progress and to solicit further Agency input on project theme and style.

Minutes from February 18, 2003 RDA Meeting 2. Entry Statement Images 2 03 ,� ATTACHMENT 1 Redevelopment Agency Minutes February 18, 2003 Board Member Sniff noted there is opportunity for many view corridors in the project, and suggested naming the project "La Quinta Las Vistas Golf Development." Board Member Perkins suggested "Las Vistas at La Quinta. Chairperson Henderson stated a name she has .heard suggested is "Las Montanas de La Quinta," which means the Mountains of La Quinta. Carol Ackerman, of GMA International, complimented Board Member Sniff on his suggestion for a project name, and reviewed three categories of images for some of the signature buildings. Board Member Sniff stated he felt a sense of Arizona in the images more than California. He feels natural material can be utilized on the golf courses and landscaping and still reflect a sense of the mountains. He feels a sense of lightness, beauty, and perhaps modified California Spanish look is needed. He suggested* the baked colors of the mountains be used in singular, artistic impressions throughout the golf course where barriers or sense of barriers exist - something that gives the sense of a defining area, perimeters in particular and elevated golf tees. He feels there should be a contrast between that and the actual architecture. He supported a California Colonial theme. Chairperson Henderson agreed some of the architecture used in the Arizona projects was too dark. Board Member Osborne stated he likes the same design but also likes the use of desert trees, noting they can create shade without burdening the irrigation. He noted La Quinta Resort was designed with a lot of colors, and he feels that type of architecture will work well here. Board Member Perkins agreed the La Quinta Hotel is beautiful but feels this project should stand on its own design. He likes the use of a Spanish concept, and feels it needs to be .somewhat unique, yet blend in with what already exists, and reflect the Indian and Spanish heritages. He suggested using grass that requires less water and doesn't have to be re -seeded each year. Board Member Adolph stated he believes Landscaping is what makes the casitas at the La Quinta Hotel look good. He noted hotel developers will have a certain say in the design and features of the hotels/casitas and all the City can do is set guidelines. He added by constructing the golf course and clubhouse prior to hotel development, the City can require the hotels to tie into the established element. 034 W, MM- rV -JAW- I -A Q, ILE AML- MI low �k� � - _- - . :-{ :: - �■$�dp� - �-_�_ --- >� �.. .. . � .� . �- � Mob
