On October 7, 2003, the Agency approved the construction budget, which included
$5.6 million for the Avenue 52 street improvements, clubhouse drive
improvements, on- and off -site sewer and water installation, as well as perimeter
landscaping. Bids were not opened in time for the perimeter roadway
improvements to be included in this report. If necessary, an appropriation from the
project contingency to construct the landscape perimeter improvements will be
made at the time of award of this contract.
Since this project will be constructed with Agency funds, the contractor will be
required to pay prevailing wages. Administration of this project will be performed
by City forces as this work is not part of Heinbuch Golf's construction management
contract. The Keith Companies included construction survey for this project within
the scope of their contract for civil engineering services; therefore, no additional
funding is required for construction surveying. Inspection and testing will be
performed by an inspection and testing firm to be selected at a later date.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2003/2004 CIP on May 20, 2003. This
year's CIP . includes the construction of the SilverRock Resort Phase I
Improvements. This includes constructing perimeter landscape, sidewalk,
multipurpose trail, perimeter wall, and fence improvements along Avenue 52,
Jefferson Street, and Avenue 54.
In order to receive bids within budget that meet the Agency's expectations for the
perimeter of SilverRock Resort, the designer, Pinnacle Design Company, has
prepared three (3) Additive Alternates for this project described as follows:
Additive Alternate No. 1
This alternate substitutes precision masonry block with an artificial stone veneer on
all exposed surfaces. The base bid calls for a slumpstone finish on all surfaces.

veneer and painted steel rails for th
Additive Alternate No. 4
e
Construct ranch fencing and gates in colored plastic. This plastic fence is similar to
the fence along Madison Street adjacent to the Norman Course development,
except another color could be specified if the Agency does not want white. Other
fence color options will be part of the presentation of this item.
Other items for Agency consideration pertain to this project, inasmuch as it will
also landscape the clubhouse entry road from the intersection of Avenue 52 and
Cetrino around the entry feature to the temporary clubhouse. RGA and GMA
International recommend lowering the entry feature south of the intersection by
approximately six feet (6') in order to not block views of the mountain from the
project's entrance. The entry lakes have also been field adjusted to better accent
the entry feature. Sign locations at the project entry and at the Jefferson Street
roundabout have been identified on the plans. GMA International will present
options for these signs for the Agency's consideration at a future date.
The PS&E are now complete and available for review within the Public
Works/Engineering Department. Contingent upon Agency approval of the PS&E,
the following is the project schedule:
Approval of PS&E August 3, 2004

Initial site and building plans were presented to the Agency Board on May 18. On
June 2 and 3, Board members toured a project in Indian Wells with similar design
elements and principals. Following the meeting and tour, staff was directed to
consider the following:
• Increasing the size of the one bedroom units;
• Gaining a higher percentage of two bedroom units;
• Adding storage space inside and out;
• Increasing the amount of parking;
• Exploring the use of two-story units in the core or east side of the
development;
• Providing shading of units through awnings, covered porches, trellises, and
landscape;
• Dedicating a large portion of the open space to landscaping that can be used
by the residents;
20
• Exploring costs and benefits of solar for electric and hot water; and
• Evaluating energy efficiencies through the use of high tech building materials
and equipment.
Attachment 1 includes several of the site plan options. Detailed larger scale plans
and elevations will be presented during the Study Session. The attached site plans
include the following:
• Shade diagrams detailing areas of overhead shading and vertical shading of
westerly exposures;
• Landscape diagrams detailing lawn areas;
• Two versions of two-story units through the core of the project;
• A new site plan that increases unit size, parking, and percentage of two
bedroom units;
Shade and landscape diagrams applied to the original site plan can be found on
sheet A0.1.
The site plan on sheet A0.2 incorporates two-story units along the driveway,
replacing one bedroom units with two bedroom units, thereby producing a higher
percentage of two bedroom units. Option A stacks a second floor over one
bedroom units, creating a two bedroom unit. In Option B, the second floor doubles
as covering for the carport below. No additional parking is gained from the original
site plan in either option. The total unit count remains unchanged.
The site plan found on sheet A0.3 clusters the units along the access core and
generates the highest ratio of two bedroom units, and a higher bath count. Covered
parking is increased by 28 spaces. All one and two bedroom units increase in size.
The total unit count drops from 82 to 80.
During the Study Session elevations, project data, associated shading and
landscape diagrams, and cost implications will be discussed with all options.
At the conclusion of the Study Session discussions, staff will be seeking Agency
Board direction regarding site plan selection and unit design parameters. With this
direction, the design team will finalize these plans, and prepare construction bid
specifications while obtaining entitlement.

FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:

related to general residential concepts; or
2. Provide staff with alternative direction.

Avenue 48 and Dune Palms Road
RECOMMENDATION:
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION:
CONSENT CALENDAR:
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
Review the development options for the affordable housing component of the
Agency's Dune Palms Road and Avenue 48 property, and provide staff with
direction.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None. Once technical studies are complete and the concept refined, staff will
return with detailed fiscal information for Agency Board approval and appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
In June 2004, the Agency purchased a 27.77 acre parcel from the Hammer Family
Trust. The site has a Mixed/Regional Commercial (M/RC) land use designation and
Regional Commercial (CR) zoning designation and is bound by Highway 1 1 1 to the
north, Dune Palms Road to the east, Wal-Mart and Santa Rosa Development senior
housing project to the west, and Avenue 48 to the south.
The purpose of the acquisition was to facilitate commercial and residential
development. Policies in the La Quinta General Plan preclude residential uses
within 600 feet of Highway 1 1 1. Thus, the commercial segment of the property is
closest to the State Highway. The residential portion, which is rectangular in
shape and approximately 16 acres in size, consists of the southernmost portion of
the total property, bordered by Dune Palms Road on the east and Avenue 48 on the
south. This report focuses on this residential component.
This site is a logical location for affordable housing because of the close proximity
to Highway 111 and directly adjacent to the Wal-Mart Superstore Center. The
Housing Element Amendment, which is currently undergoing review by the State
Department of Housing and Community Development pursuant to State law,
626
identifies this site as a candidate site for affordable housing with the following
income categories:
Very Low -Income 90 units
Low -Income 210 units
(Source: Housing Element Amendment, Table H-50)
The quantified objectives as identified in the Housing Element are targets, and the
numbers represent the best estimates available at the time the analysis was
completed. Staff is currently evaluating several development concepts with a goal
of providing as many units as identified above or as appropriate, given the site's
constraints.
As noted in earlier reports, the Agency must secure 1,927 affordable dwellings by
2040, of which 771 must be affordable to very low-income households. Further,
the Law provides that the Agency must insure that 1,672 affordable dwellings are
in place by 2004, of which 669 must be affordable to very low-income households.
To date, the Agency has secured 894 affordable dwellings, 194 affordable to very
low-income households and 700 affordable to low- and moderate -income
households. Development of this site, particularly with a component affordable to
very low-income households, will assist in meeting this requirement.
General Plan and Zoning Issues
The entire site is designated as Mixed Regional Commercial (M/RC) on the General
Plan and is zoned Regional Commercial (CR). Residential uses are permitted under
these designations with a specific plan for multi -family residential developments in
this district.
Residential density in this area allows up to 16 units per acre. Projects with an
affordable component are entitled to a density bonus plus one other "incentive"
from the City. The typical density bonus would be 25 %, or a maximum 20 units
per acre.
Most specifically, the project will meet Draft Housing Element Program 1.6:
Develop Medium, Medium High and High Density residential uses in the
appropriate designations as well as in locations within the Mixed/Regional
Commercial and Village Commercial designation that enhance creative site
planning, promote the mixed -use concept where applicable, provide
opportunities for affordable and/or employee housing, facilitate the efficient
use of public facilities, and support alternative transit modes.
There are several constraints to development at this maximum density. Access to
the site is limited by existing traffic signals at the intersections of Dune Palms Road
ri
`)
at Highway 1 1 1 and at Avenue 48. The total distance along Dune Palms Road is
about one-half mile. City standards allow for one signalized intersection along that
frontage.
Another constraint to the development of this site is the Image Corridor designation
on Dune Palms Road and Avenue 48. Buildings within 150 feet of Image Corridors
are limited to one story, not to exceed 22 feet in height.
Conceptual Site Plans
Attached are two conceptual site plans. Each is characterized by single -story units
closest to the Image Corridors, with higher buildings at the project core. Maximum
heights will be established by the required specific plan. However, it is anticipated
that the maximum height in the "core area" would be in the 40-44 foot range.
In developing these plans, staff was guided by several principals:
• Provide a mixture of unit sizes and types.
• Provide opportunities for on -site features to include recreation facilities for
various age groups, childcare, centralized management office, space for
classes and offices for social service providers to hold "office hours."
• Include opportunity for a green "spine" through the site, to facilitate
pedestrian movement.
• Encourage a site design that allows energy efficient building arrangement
and design.
• Take advantage of shopping and job opportunities along the Highway 111
Corridor.
• Ensure a wide buffer along Avenue 48, to match that found on the south
side of the street.
• Establish a two-story height limit within 100 feet from the western property
line to create a buffer from the development to the west (Santa Rosa
Development).
The site plans also include a well site, tentatively located at the northeast corner of
the property. The specific location will depend on the technical needs of the
Coachella Valley Water District. The location shown is the farthest from an
existing well site that is located on Avenue 48, just to the west of the site. The
well site satisfies one of the requirements of the SilverRock Resort project.
Each of the conceptual site plans depicts single -story "development bubbles" that
would back up to the two streets. It is anticipated that a perimeter wall would be
located at least 50 feet from Avenue 48 and a 25 foot buffer along Dune Palms
Road to provide a landscaped buffer. A child care center is shown on Scheme B
adjacent to the main entrance. This facility could be relocated to another

accessible location. The proposed location would seem to be convenient to both
residents of the complex and possibly employees from nearby businesses.
A two story development "bubble" extends along the western property boundary.
On Scheme A, there is a road extending along the edge of the development area.
In Scheme B, there are three access points. This area is identified for potential
single-family detached products that might be utilized if the Agency determines
some ownership units make sense for this location.
The core area will be characterized by higher buildings with several design
possibilities. The buildings will be oriented around , the inside of each "bubble",
with a green spine extending generally from south to north (left to right on the
graphics), providing for pedestrian access through the middle of the site.
Recreational facilities would be located throughout the project.
Following this initial review of the residential concept, staff's next steps will be to
prepare the required specific plan, subdivision maps to divide the total property,
and environmental documentation for presentation to the Agency Board for
consideration.
With a site this large (totaling approximately 16 acres) there are a number of design
possibilities. Once a specific plan is prepared, it is anticipated that a Request for
Proposals process will be utilized to prepare a specific design for development.
Environmental Review
The action before the Agency at this time is not defined by the California
Environmental Quality Act as a project; therefore, no environmental action is
required.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the Agency Board include:
1. Review the development options for the affordable housing component of
the Agency's Dune Palms Road and Avenue 48 property, and provide staff
with direction.
