STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: RECEIVE AND FILE REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE REPORT DATED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file revenue and expenditure report dated September 30, 2017.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•Revenue and expenditure reports are submitted for review.
•The report summarizes the City’s year-to-date (YTD) revenues and expenditures
and period activity as of September 30, 2017 (Attachment 1).
•Revenue and expenditure reports are also reviewed by the Finance Advisory
Commission (FAC).
FISCAL IMPACT – None.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Revenues
Below is a summary of the column headers used on the Revenue Summary Report All
Funds:
Original Total Budget – represents the revenue budget the Council adopted in June
2017 for fiscal year 2017/18.
Current Total Budget – includes original adopted revenue budget plus carryovers
from the prior fiscal year, as well as Council approved budget amendments. The
bulk of the carryovers are related to Capital Improvement Project (CIP) matters.
Each year total CIP projects are budgeted; however, project length may span over
multiple years. Therefore, unfinished projects from the prior year are carried over
(along with associated remaining budgets). The 2016/17 CIP carryovers will be
processed in October 2017, after the year-end audit is completed.
Period Activity – represents actual revenues received in the reporting month.
Fiscal Activity – represents actual revenues received YTD.
Variance Favorable/(Unfavorable) - the difference between YTD collections and the
budgeted amount.
Percent Used – represents the percentage of budgeted revenues collected YTD.
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 2
15
The revenue report includes revenues and transfers into funds from other funds (income
items). Revenues are not received uniformly throughout the year, which results in peaks
and valleys depending upon large payments that are received throughout the year. For
example, large property tax payments are usually received in December and May.
Similarly, Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund payments are typically received in
January and June.
September Revenues
$2,580,481 in General Fund revenues were collected in September, bringing the total YTD
revenue to 6.86 percent ($3,332,612) of the budget. Total collections for all funds were
$2,827,195, bringing the total YTD revenue to 5.81 percent ($4,264,656) of the budget.
The top General Fund revenues consisted of:
• $966,477 – Measure G Sales/Transaction Tax
• $709,405 – Sales Tax
• $200,372 – Transient Occupancy Tax
• $262,163 – Property Tax
• $102,937 – Fire Service Credit
The larger non-General Fund income consisted of:
• $ 64,756 – Measure A County Sales Tax
• $ 41,557 – SilverRock
• $ 38,586 – Allocated Interest
• $ 24,601 – Rent Income
• $ 22,736 – Transportation Developer Impact Fees (DIF)
Expenditures
Below is a summary of the column headers used on the Expenditure Summary Report All
Funds:
Original Total Budget – represents the expenditure budget adopted by Council in
June 2017 for 2017/18
Current Total Budget – includes the original adopted expenditure budget plus any
carryovers from the prior fiscal year, and any Council approved budget
amendments. The bulk of the carryovers are related to CIP matters. Each year
total CIP projects are budgeted; however, project length can span over multiple
years. Therefore, unfinished projects from the prior year are carried over (along
with associated revenue reimbursements). The 2016/17 CIP carryovers will be
processed in October 2017, after the year-end audit is completed.
Period Activity – represents actual expenditures made in the reporting month.
Fiscal Activity – represents actual expenditures made YTD.
16
Variance Favorable/ (Unfavorable) – represents the difference between YTD
expenditures and the budgeted amount (the amount yet to be expended).
Percent Used – represents the percentage of budgeted expenditures spent to date.
The expenditure report includes expenditures and transfers out to other funds. Unlike
revenues, expenditures are fairly consistent month to month. However, large debt service
payments or CIP expenditures can cause swings.
September Expenditures
General Fund expenditures totaled $1,015,081, bringing the total YTD expenditures to
5.97 percent ($2,923,864). Of this amount, $544,536 is related to personnel costs
(salaries, benefits, etc.). In addition to personnel costs, the other larger General Fund
expenditures were:
• $ 62,361 – Marketing and Tourism Promotions
• $ 45,384 – Police Contract Services
• $ 38,235 – Contract Traffic Engineer
• $ 37,021 – Professional Inspection Services
• $ 31,939 – Parks Landscape Maintenance
Total expenditures for all funds were $7,263,601 million, bringing the total YTD
expenditures to 13.8 percent ($11,654,597) of the budget. The larger non-General Fund
expenditures were:
• $ 4,717,898 – Successor Agency Bond Interest
• $ 493,483 – Capital Improvement Plan - Construction
• $ 138,518 – SilverRock Maintenance
• $ 85,238 – Capital Improvement Plan – Design
• $ 61,996 – Capital Improvement Plan – Inspection and Surveying Services
Summary
All funds are generally on target or under budget with regard to expenditures. The timing
imbalance of revenue receipts versus expenditures is funded from the City’s cash flow
reserve.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: November 7, 2017
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
WITH DUDEK TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ENGINEERING ANALYSIS FOR WASHINGTON
STREET DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS (PROJECT NO. 2015-12A)
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Dudek to provide
additional engineering analysis for the Washington Street Drainage Improvements in the
amount not to exceed $37,062, and authorize the City Manager to execute the
amendment.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•On August 2, 2016, Council approved a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with
Dudek for engineering services to conduct a supplemental focused drainage study
for the Washington Street Corridor.
•Amendment No. 1 (Attachment 1) provides for additional engineering services to
analyze certain drainage improvements on Washington Street that may impact
Lake La Quinta (Lake) and will provide cost information for an off-site retention
basin to determine if the impacts to the Lake can be avoided altogether
(Attachment 2).
FISCAL IMPACT
$1,582,000 is currently assigned to complete the drainage improvements planned for
Washington Street in the approved Citywide Drainage Project design budget (151612D).
Original Contract $55,860
Amendment No. 1 – Lake La Quinta Analysis $37,062
Revised Contract Total $92,922
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Dudek’s original contract entailed analyzing the drainage needs of the Washington
Street corridor and to identify drainage improvements that would allow for at least one
12-foot-wide dry lane in each direction during a 250-year storm event. A dry lane is a
lane that has no more than three inches of water to allow emergency vehicular access.
Dudek completed their analysis, which recommends improvements along Washington
Street near Lake La Quinta Drive and near Avenue 48; these improvements would
capture street flows and direct them into the Lake. Dudek’s analysis also recommends
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 5
49
upgrading the drainage system near Washington Street and Avenue 50 to accommodate
additional street flows (Attachment 3).
Staff subsequently met with the Lake La Quinta Homeowners Association (HOA) who
expressed concerns regarding adding storm water from a 250-year storm into Lake. The
Lake currently accepts storm run-off from the aforementioned locations, and is designed
to accommodate 100-year storm run-off. The HOA requested the City perform further
focused drainage studies to identify the impacts from receiving the additional (250-year
storm) water; the HOA also requested the City indemnify the HOA against any impacts
from the increased flows.
Amendment No. 1 funds preliminary engineering costs to identify the impacts the
additional storm water run-off would have on the Lake. It would also identify the
acreage and depth for an alternative, building a retention basin on the property west of
Washington Street at Avenue 48. This property is for sale and could provide a
Washington Street drainage alternative. Should this occur the City would not need the
additional Lake retention.
Dudek anticipates completion of the analysis within four weeks of their Notice to
Proceed, on/or about December 6, 2017.
ALTERNATIVES
Council may revise the proposed scope of work to exclude the additional studies for
impacts to the Lake until the land purchase option is evaluated.

City of La Quinta
10/25/2017
Phase I – Preliminary Design
Task 1.1: Extended Alternative Analyses
Dudek hereby request a change in the contract budget amount to cover the additional costs associated with
further investigation and evaluation of the project alternatives. Based on the recommendations of the Project
Status Meeting, Dudek will evaluate the additional alternatives:
Avenue 50:
1)Prepare model and perform calculations to size a detention basin in the south-eastern lot adjacent
to identify size of required facility to eliminate the need for additional outlet pipe into the Evacuation
Channel.
2) Prepare model and perform calculations for a secondary “bubble-up” outlet located along Avenue
50, east of the highpoint tributary to the Evacuation channel. This facility will be modeled as an
standard street curb inlet that discharges flows to the street gutter.
Lake La Quinta:
3)Prepare a model and perform calculations removing portions of the raised median along Washington
Street, just north of the 48th Avenue interchange.
Task 1.2: Water Quality Facility Preliminary Sizing & Design
Dudek will provide sizing calculations and preliminary design calculations for a custom water quality treatment
facility for two locations at the Lake La Quinta/Washington Street project site. The purpose of this facility will be
to provide design storm trash capture for debris/trash 5mm and above. These facilities will also contain
percolation galleries to treat nuisance flows and baffle structures to treat oil/hydrocarbons. These preliminary
designs will provide the basis for the custom designs. Work includes sizing calculations, research, and preliminary
design calculations. Dudek will provide a plan view and profile schematic of two facilities. Dudek will coordinate
with the structural engineer to identify the most feasible construction solution.
Task 1.3: Lake La Quinta HOA Special Analyses
Based on the two meetings with the HOA Board, Dudek will provide research and analysis of the lake impacts for
the 250-year storm event. Some additional flows will be routed to the lake, and quantifications of volume and
depth changes will be performed for presentation to the HOA. Included in this study will be review of the as-built
54
DUDEK Washington Street Drainage Improvements - Project No. 2015-12A 2
plans of the community and the lake spillway to identify if the development has inadvertently filled over the
spillway, cause a potential for future flooding beyond design. Dudek will provide survey for the area surrounding
the lake spillway and outlet to support the analysis. Dudek will evaluate if the addition of proposed excess flows
will create a flood hazard for the community. Dudek will also provide graphics showing a step-wise flooded
scenario at the spillway of the project site using aerial photographs and the XPSWMM overlay.
Task 1.3a: Local HOA area Focused Drainage Study
Dudek will prepare a detailed drainage study of the interior Lake La Quinta drainage system, near the Lake spillway
to identify solutions for the HOA. This study will only focus on the area adjacent to the spillway and will include a
planning level analysis using XPSWMM. Dudek will update the model to include up to 2 local storm drains and
curb inlets to identify how their system is functioning and to ensure the raise in the lake will not impact the local
system for the 250 year / 1hr event.
Task 1.4: Lake La Quinta HOA Meetings & Presentation
Dudek will attend four (4) meetings with the HOA board and/or the City to present the results of this project and
identify potential issues with adding flows to the lake. An initial meeting will be held at the City to present the
project and to get feedback from the Board. The second meeting will consist of a field visit to the lake and
evaluated the current spillway and inlet conditions. A third meeting will include a presentation to the HOA
attorney. A fourth meeting will be to present the findings of the Task 1.3 results to the Board. This task has been
budget for 28 man-hours and includes meeting time and presentation preparation and development.
Task 1.5: Preliminary Basin Alternative Evaluation Washington Street SD
Dudek will evaluate the option of implementing a detention/retention basin facility on the west side of
Washington Street, north of 48th Avenue. A desktop study will be performed using the previous calculated
volumes from XPSWMM to estimate the approximate size and volume of detention basin needed to reduce the
flood risks along the targeted locations within Washington Street. Dudek will prepare an exhibit consistent with
the previous alternative exhibits to show the proposed drainage feature locations and sizes. A preliminary cost
estimate will be prepared using the same format as those identified in the Technical Memorandum. This study
is only a preliminary estimation and can serve as the basis of future more detailed hydrologic/hydraulic
analyses.
Task 1.5a: Optional: Meeting
If requested, Dudek will attend one (1) meeting with the City to discuss the results of this study. Budget includes
meeting time and preparation, based on six (6) hours.
Clarifications:
City to prepare and provide Environmental work.
No FEMA floodplain revisions are included

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: November 7, 2017
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 2017-
0013, INCLUDING SITE PLAN, ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND LANDSCAPING FOR A
TEMPORARY GOLF COURSE CLUBHOUSE WITHIN PLANNING AREA 10A OF THE
SILVERROCK SPECIFIC PLAN LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF AVENUE 52 AND
JEFFERSON STREET; AND CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT REVIEWED UNDER
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 2014-1003 AND NO FURTHER REVIEW IS REQUIRED
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution to approve Site Development Permit 2017-0013, including site plan,
architecture and landscaping plans for a temporary golf course clubhouse in Planning
Area 10A of the SilverRock Specific Plan and a finding of consistency with
Environmental Assessment 2014-1003.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•SilverRock Development Company, LLC (SDC) proposes a Site Development
Permit (SDP) for a 3,886 square foot temporary golf course clubhouse for
Planning Area 10A (Attachment 1).
•On October 10, 2017, the Planning Commission approved SDP 2017-0013 ; the
Commission recommmended amendments to the conditions of approval which
are outlined in this report.
•Per the SilverRock Specific Plan, the Council must review and approve the SDP.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no anticipated impacts.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
On November 19, 2014, the City entered into a Purchase, Sale, and Development
Agreement and Development Agreement with SDC for the sale and development of
undeveloped portions of the SilverRock property. On December 20, 2016, Council
approved SDP2016-0005 for the 140-room Montage luxury hotel, 29 hotel-branded
residences, a spa, a meeting and conference center, and a shared service facility in
Planning Areas 2, 3, and 4 of the SilverRock Specific Plan. On January 3, 2017, Council
approved SDP2016-0009 for the 200-key Pendry hotel, a new golf course clubhouse, 10
golf villas, and a 66-unit condominium development.
This SDP for the temporary golf club house is located in Planning Area 10A of the
development proposal. The temporary relocation of clubhouse operations from the
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1
75
current location to a vacant area adjacent to the existing golf course driving range is
necessary to facilitate construction of the Montage and Pendry hotels, and allow
continued golf course operations (Attachment 2).
Facility access is proposed from an existing service driveway from Avenue 52
(Attachment 3, Sheets C1 – A1.1). SDP condition of approval No. 8 requires the
applicant include signing and dedicated right-turn lane striping options as
recommended in the assessment (Attachment 4).
The entry driveway from Avenue 52 extends to the proposed parking area with 182
parking spaces consisting of 120 parking spaces located along the frontage of the
temporary clubhouse facility and 62 overflow spaces. The proposal exceeds the 111
paved parking spaces at the current clubhouse location.
The 3,886 square-foot clubhouse is arranged as a complex of six modular buildings; a
clubhouse dining room, kitchen, retail/pro shop, offices, storage, and restrooms
(Attachment 3, Sheet A2.1). The architectural design of the clubhouse facility is
consistent with conventional office modular design placed on an asphalt pad and
accessed with a raised wooden deck. The clubhouse includes indoor and outdoor
dining facilities to seat 124 guests with south-facing views towards the golf course and
the Santa Rosa Mountains.
The golf cart barns located at the current clubhouse will be relocated adjacent to the
temporary clubhouse. A cart staging area adjacent to the cart barns will provide direct
access to the paved golf cart path leading to the driving range. The applicant consulted
with Landmark Golf Management for appropriate clubhouse location to avoid errant
golf balls from the practice driving range.
Temporary landscape improvements consisting of palm trees and shade trees are
proposed throughout the parking area and clubhouse facility. Shade trees include Tipu,
Indian Rosewood, and Willow Acacia trees.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project was reviewed under the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Design and Development Department
(Department) determined that the application is a “project” as defined by CEQA.
However, the Department also found that Environmental Assessment (EA) 2014-1003
reviewed amended plans for the SilverRock Specific Plan, and that the currently
proposed project is consistent with what was reviewed and approved in 2014. As a
result, the previously approved EA, including its mitigation measures and Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program will be applied to the currently proposed project,
resulting in less than significant impacts.
AGENCY AND PUBLIC REVIEW
Public Agency Review
The SDP was sent to all applicable City departments and affected public agencies on
September 13, 2017. All written comments received are on file and available for review
76
with the Design and Development Department. All applicable comments have been
adequately addressed and/or incorporated in the recommended conditions of approval.
Planning Commission Review
On October 10, 2017, the Planning Commission heard testimony and approved the SDP
with attached conditions of approval and finding of consistency with Environmental
Assessment 2014-1003. The Commission recommended amended and additional
conditions to include the followings:
• Require asphalt pavement for 120 parking spaces
• Plant approved trees in the ground and provide required irrigation systems
• Review golf cart path with Landmark Golf, Arnold Palmer Group and project
architect and determine areas that can be constructed of asphalt surface that
will not interfere with SilverRock construction activities
• Review clubhouse staging area and dining deck safety from errant golf balls with
Landmark Golf, Arnold Palmer Group and project architect and implement safety
measures
• Paint clubhouse buildings a consistent color scheme.
The applicant has revised the SDP plans to address the Planning Commission’s
recommended conditions by moving the facility 80 feet west, propose asphalt
pavement for 120 parking spaces and the golf cart path (Attachment 3).
ALTERNATIVES
Council could deny the the project, or discuss and incorporate any adjustments
deemed appropriate in order to approve the proposed project.

SUBJECT: SILVERROCK RESORT TEMPORARY GOLF CLUBHOUSE ACCESS EVALUATION
Dear Mr. John Gamlin:
The firm of Urban Crossroads, Inc. is pleased to submit this Access Evaluation for the proposed SilverRock
Resort Temporary Golf Clubhouse in the City of La Quinta. The location of the proposed SilverRock Resort
Temporary Golf Clubhouse is shown on Exhibit A.

The temporary clubhouse will be located south of Avenue 52 and west of Jefferson Street. The proposed
access to the temporary clubhouse will be from Avenue 52. The location of the temporary access is
presented on Exhibit B.
EXHIBIT B: TEMPORARY ACCESS LOCATION
A driveway currently exists at this location. The driveway provides golf course maintenance access.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the SilverRock Resort Temporary Golf Clubhouse Access Evaluation Traffic Assessment is
to assess the suitability of the proposed temporary access for the relocated (temporary) clubhouse
serving the existing 18-hole golf course while construction of new facilities takes place. Potential issues
addressed include access spacing (suitability of the proposed access location), sight distance at the
proposed access intersection, whether a deceleration lane is necessary, width of the existing driveway,
and appropriate roadway signing and striping in the vicinity of the proposed access location. The Fire
Department has also been consulted regarding emergency access to the temporary clubhouse facility
(referenced within the discussion regarding the driveway width).
ACCESS SPACING (SUITABILITY OF THE PROPOSED ACCESS LOCATION)
The location of the temporary access is approximately 2,000 feet west of Jefferson Avenue. Avenue 52
has a raised median between SilverRock Way and Jefferson Street, and is on the outside of an
124

approaching curve, which is desirable from a sight distance perspective (a subsequent topic of
discussion). The nearest access to the west is SilverRock Way, which is approximately 3,000 feet from
the proposed temporary clubhouse access. The nearest access to the east is approximately 1,200 feet
from the proposed access. Avenue 52 is a four lane divided roadway. Riverside County standards
indicate a recommended access spacing of 660’ for this type of roadway. The proposed temporary
clubhouse driveway meets the recommended access spacing criteria and is on the outside of an
approaching curve. The proposed access location is therefore suitable.
SIGHT DISTANCE EVALUATION
The required sight distance has been evaluated based on the criteria set forth in the California
Department of Transportation Highway Design Manual (CA HDM), Sections 205.2 and 405.1. For private
road intersections, stopping sight distance requirements as set forth in Table 201.1 must be met. The
speed limit on Avenue 52 is 40 miles per hour (MPH). The stopping sight distance f or a 40 MPH roadway
is 300’. Exhibit C presents the sight distance requirement for the temporary access driveway / road.
EXHIBIT C: SIGHT DISTANCE EVALUATION
As shown on Exhibit C, the sight distance is adequate. No visual obstr uctions (e.g, monument signs,
shrubs taller than 18 inches, etc.) should be allowed within the limited use area shown on Exhibit C

DRIVEWAY WIDTH / EMERGENCY ACCESS EVALUATION
Fire Department staff met with the project engineers and reviewed the proposed on -site circulation.
Adequate turning radius is being proposed as part of the on-site temporary parking area design. The
width of the proposed driveway has been evaluated in consul tation with Fire Department staff. A
minimum driveway width of 30’ should be provided. This may require reconstruction of the existing
driveway apron and / or gated access that is currently in place.
DECELERATION LANE ASSESSMENT
Review of the California Department of Transportation Highway Design Manual (CA HDM) and other
documents containing guidance regarding the provision of deceleration / acceleration lanes generally
suggest that such facilities are desirable when there is a high volume of right turning vehicles.
The temporary access driveway location is only expected to serve the traffic associated with the
temporary clubhouse facility. Therefore, the anticipated traffic has been estimated to determine the
volume of right turns that will enter and exit the driveway.
Trip generation represents the amount of traffic which is both attracted to and produced by a
development. Traffic generation rates for the proposed Project have been derived from the
informational document Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation (9th Edition, 2012).
The proposed project is an 18 hole golf course with a pro shop and restaurant / bar area. This is
consistent with the types of facilities that were surveyed in the studies included in the ITE Trip
Generation document.
Table 1 presents the trip rates obtained from the ITE Trip Generation manual and summarizes the
resulting trip generation estimates for the 18 hole golf course. The proposed project is expected to
generate 643 vehicle trips on a daily basis, with a total of 40 vehicles per hour (VPH) during the AM peak
hour (8 outbound vehicles and 32 inbound vehicles) and 51 VPH during the PM peak hour (23 inbound
vehicles and 28 outbound vehicles).
The projected inbound / outbound right turn volumes for the temporary access do not appear to satisfy
the “high volume” criteria cited in the literature. Therefore, no acceleration / deceleration lanes are
recommended at the proposed temporary access.

TABLE 1: TRIP GENERATION RATES & SUMMARY
AVENUE 52 CONCEPT SIGNING & STRIPING
The proposed temporary driveway currently falls within the area where the traffic lanes are being merged
from two lanes to a single eastbound travel lane approaching the roundabout at the intersection of Avenue
52 / Jefferson Street. Two options have been developed for addressing signing and striping in the vicinity of
the proposed temporary access driveway. The first option minimizes changes to the current situation on
Avenue 52 and is presented on Exhibit D. An advance informational sign would be placed approximately ¼
mile in advance of the temporary access driveway to alert drivers of the driveway location. This is the
recommended signing and striping alternative.
A second alternative is presented on Exhibit E. The second alternative presented on Exhibit E would move
the merge from 2 lanes to 1 lane in the eastbound direction to the west. This would allow for a separate
right turn lane into the temporary clubhouse parking area.

SUMMARY
This letter report assesses the proposed temporary access for the SilverRock Golf Course / Clubhouse. The
following areas of interest have been assessed:
•Access spacing - The proposed temporary clubhouse driveway meets the recommended access spacing
criteria and is therefore a suitable location.
•Sight Distance – Adequate sight distance is available at the proposed access driveway / road location, in
accordance with the requirements of the CA HDM. No obstructions should be allowed in the limited use
area shown on Exhibit C.
•Driveway Width (Emergency Access) – The driveway width has been evaluated in consultation with Fire
Department staff. A minimum driveway width of 30’ should be provided. This may require reconstruction
of the existing driveway apron and / or gated access that is currently in place.
•Acceleration / Deceleration Lanes - The projected inbound / outbound right turn volumes for the
temporary access do not appear to satisfy the “high volume” criteria cited in the literature. Therefore, no
acceleration / deceleration lanes are recommended at the proposed temporary access.
•Avenue 52 Concept Striping – Two options have been presented regarding the signing and
striping for Avenue 51: A) Retain the existing striping and provide a guide sign ¼ mile in advance
of the temporary driveway to provide advance information to drivers unfamiliar with the

City of La Quinta
CITY COUNCIL MEETING: November 7, 2017
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: ADOPT NEW RESIDENT TEE TIME RATE SCHEDULE FOR SILVERROCK GOLF
COURSE
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt new resident tee time rate schedule as presented in the recorded Golf Course Use
Covenants and make them effective either January 1, 2018 or July 1, 2018.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In May 2017, the City recorded Council approved Golf Course Use Covenants to
ensure resident access, and to establish a mechanism to increase resident tee
time rates.
Resident tee time rates have not been increased since the course opened in 2005;
the current rates are $55 peak season (January – April), $45 shoulder season
(November – December, and May - June), and $30 off-season (July-September).
The new rates will be $60 peak season (January – April), $49 shoulder season
(November – December, and May - June), and $33 off-season (July-September);
these rates would increase thereafter at 3% per annum.
The golf course covenants also modify the resident tee time booking procedures.
Staff recommends that the operator (Landmark) institute these new procedures
over time to insure that course income is not negatively impacted; the new
procedures work best when there is acute demand for tee times.
FISCAL IMPACT
The initial $5.00 increase in resident tee time rates will annually generate $60,000. The
subsequent annual increases will generate less income, which is predicated on resident
tee time demand.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In May 2017, the City recorded a Golf Course Use Covenant (Covenant) to ensure
residents would retain the same quality and level of access they have historically enjoyed
to SilverRock Golf Course. This covenant was crafted to provide specific guidelines on how
tee times are to be allocated to residents in order to maintain historical access levels
(anticipating increased demand after the Montage and Pendry hotels open). Additionally,
the covenant addresses the potential for the course to be acquired by SilverRock
Development Company (SDC) and established a procedure to increase resident tee time
rates.
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 2
131
EXISTING PROGRAM
The current resident tee time rates are:
$55 peak season (January – April), $45 shoulder season (November – December,
and May - June), and $30 off-season (July-September).
The current resident tee time booking procedure is:
Three days prior, cardholders may book remaining tee times on a first come
first serve basis
Cancelations are allowed up to 24 hours in advance
No shows are charged full rate.
Finally, residents may access the aforementioned rates and tee time booking procedure
by purchasing Resident Cards; the card cost and benefits are:
Cards cost $150 and are valid for 3 years
Rates are $30 off-season, $45 shoulder, and $55 peak
15% discount for merchandise at the pro shop and food at the grill restaurant
Up to three guests receive a 30% discount on the posted rate
3,530 active resident cards.
GOLF COVENANT PROGRAM
The covenant provides that while the City owns the course, the City may elect to maintain
all current procedures for resident booking, access and rates. This allows the City to
maximize revenue on golf operations until increased demand from hotels negatively
impact resident access. In the event the golf course is acquired by SDC, access, rates and
booking procedures would be as outlined below:
Resident Cards: the base cost is $150 and may be increased by up to $10 per to a
maximum cost of $180; the Council must increase any cost increase over $180.
The cards are valid for 3 years
Rates: may increase no more than 3% per annum (rounded to the nearest dollar)
for 10 years, and adjusted annually thereafter per the consumer price index (CPI).
The following chart presents projected 10-year rates and assumes a 3% annual increase.
Peak season resident rates cannot exceed 50% of the actual combined average
rate paid by hotel guests and the public. If adjusted peak season resident rates
exceed this amount, then resident rates would be reduced annually by 3% until
rates are at the 50% threshold.

Tee Time Booking
The covenant outlines the following process for resident tee time bookings:
One third of the tee times will be reserved for residents (see Attachment 1, Sample
Tee Sheet)
The reserved tee times will run from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 pm daily, from November 1
through May 31
Residents would be able to book tee times seven days in advance
Group or tournament play (13 or more golfers) may supersede the tee times
reserved for residents
In the event there are tee times within the 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 pm blocks that are not
reserved, these tee times would be released 2 days prior and be available to all
types of booking.
RESIDENT GROUP PLAY
In consideration of requests to accommodate resident group play an analysis was
prepared that looked at peak season (November through March) impacts of implementing
group play. Based on historical operational data the following assumptions were made:
A $15 premium was applied to group resident rates to reduce lost revenue
The average group size is 50 players
Frequency of group play would occur once a week during peak season
Full fare (non resident bookings) will consume 67% of all available tee times on
average during peak season.
The following table presents the financial parameters (on a daily basis) of current
operations based on 158 daily rounds (apportioned to full fare and resident rounds based
upon historic averages) typical full fare and current resident tee time rates.
The next table presents the financial parameters (daily and annual) associated with
facilitating resident group play involving one block of 50 resident car holders.
Current Operations Rounds PercentageRate Revenue
Full Fare Rounds @67% 106 67% 140$ 14,820$
Resident Rounds @33% 52 33%55$ 2,868$
Daily Rounds Available 158 100% 112$ 17,688$
133
When a 50 resident block of tee times are booked in priority of full fare rounds, daily
revenue is reduced by $2,098. If this were to occur weekly during peak season golf
revenue would be reduced by approximately $45,000. Further, it may be difficult to limit
resident group play to one group of 50; when additional resident cardholders learn that
they may reserve large group play, they will petition to also be granted this option.
Based upon these financial impacts, staff recommend that the current process continue
wherein the operator, Landmark, manages resident tee time booking procedures.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council may elect to implement the new resident tee time rate schedule on January
1, 2018 or July 1, 2018.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In April 2017, the City initiated the 2nd Annual La Quinta Academy (Academy) to
enhance staff skills through training and development across disciplines and
departments, employing team-based approaches.
The Executive Team identified key City projects for the Academy to develop as part
of the curriculum. Participants were grouped into three Project Action Teams
(PAT) to develop these projects
PAT participants will present their research, approach, and recommendation.
FISCAL IMPACT – None.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
City staff requires advanced analytical tools to lead the organization in a culture of
continuous improvement. The City is a catalyst for providing training and opportunities to
employees’ for growth and skills development. In April 2017, the City launched its 2nd
Annual in-house training program for employees, the Academy, which includes classes on
leadership, contract management, public speaking, and budgeting. The Executive Team
identified three key City projects: 1) Facilities Preventative Maintenance, 2) G-Suite &
Office 365, and 3) Accounts Payable Project Papercut; as part of the curriculum, three
PATs were created to perform a comprehensive review and facilitate action plans for
these projects. At the conclusion of the Academy, each team must present their findings
and recommendations.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•Code amendments to further streamline development processes and standards were
discussed at the September 19, 2017Joint Council and Planning Commission meeting.
•The Council and Planning Commission recommend modifications to Sections of the La
Quinta Municipal Code (Code) Titles 8, 9 and 13 that would streamline and clarify
development standards.
•Staff has reviewed Council and Planning Commission comments and included
additional Code revisions.
FISCAL IMPACT – None.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Council adopted Code amendments in 2016 to streamline the development review
process. In September 2017, a joint Council and Planning Commission study session was
held to review the following Code amendments:
•Flexibility for mechanical equipment in required side yard setbacks;
•Greater Council discretion to grant waivers for undergrounding of utilities;
•Modify process for bars and cocktail lounge uses from a conditional use permit
(CUP) to a minor use permit (MUP) in the Village Commercial district;
•Remove single-family homes from final landscape review requirements; and
PUBLIC HEARING ITEM NO. 1
145
• Establish new residential driveway standards.
Council and Planning Commission were supportive of the amendments presented, but
expressed concern over proposed residential driveway regulations. Staff will review
additional options for driveway standards with input from the La Quinta Cove Association.
Other suggestions included applying the MUP process to bars and cocktail lounge uses in
all commercial districts.
The proposed Code amendments are as follows (Attachment 1):
Title 8 Buildings and Construction
Change language in Section 8.03.020 to allow Council flexibility in granting waivers for
undergrounding utilities. New development projects are required to underground
overhead utilities. A waiver may be granted for practical difficulties related to the
physical characteristics of the property. Staff proposes greater Council discretion for
granting waivers for practical difficulties.
Remove single-family residences from final landscape review in Chapter 8.13 to
streamline the permit process, eliminate duplicate reviews and unnecessary costs for
improvements to small areas. Staff would continue review of typical landscape plans for
residential subdivisions and review custom home landscape plans during building permit
review.
Title 9 Zoning
Changes include correcting inconsistencies and unclear language as follows:
• Revise lot line adjustment requirements between parcels in a residential district
and the golf course district to assume the residential district designation without
requirement of a zone change (Section 9.20.020)
• Permit landscaping to satisfy screening requirement for bottled gas tanks in the
Cove district (Section 9.50.090)
• Allow flexibility for placement of ground mounted equipment in the 5 foot side
setback area in residential districts (Section 9.60.075)
• Revise Table 9-5 Permitted Uses in Nonresidential Districts to allow mini
golf/recreation centers and standalone bars or cocktail lounges with a MUP -
Section (9.80.020)
• Allow small merchandise displays (10 square feet maximum) without a permit and
allow new vehicle display and sales to be approved with a MUP (Section 9.100.110)
• Allow a MUP instead of a CUP for child day care centers within nonresidential
districts in Section 9.100.240 for consistency with Section 9.80.020.
Additional changes are minor and described in Attachment 1.
Title 13 Subdivision Regulations
Changes include clarifying language to make it consistent with other Code titles.
146
AGENCY AND PUBLIC REVIEW
Public Notice
Notice of public hearing was advertised in The Desert Sun newspaper on October 27,
2017. To date, no comments received and comments from other City Departments were
considered.
Planning Commission Review
At its regular meeting of October 10, 2017, the Planning Commission recommended
approval of the Code amendments with the exception of Section 9.50.090. Planning
Commission was concerned that landscaping would not provide suitable screening if not
properly maintained. An additional concern was for safety as landscaping would not be
able to stop vehicles from colliding with the tanks. Planning Commission expressed
concern with bar and cocktail lounge impacts in mixed use developments, but did
recommend approval of the amendment.
Environmental Review
The Design and Development Department has determined that the proposed Code
amendments are exempt from environmental review under CEQA, pursuant to Section
15061(b)(3), Review for Exemptions – General Rule, in that it can be seen with certainty
that there is no possibility for this action to have a significant effect on the environment,
and individual development plans will be reviewed under CEQA as they are proposed.
ALTERNATIVES
Council could recommend additional amendments or not modify the existing standards.

maximum applied water allowance.
b.A calculation of the estimated annual applied water use shall be
submitted with the landscape documentation package.
c.For the calculation of the maximum applied water allowance and
estimated total water use, the project applicant shall refer to the localized ETo
value on the current Coachella Valley ETo Map, prepared by the Coachella
Valley Water District.
d.The estimated annual total water use for each hydrozone is calculated
from the following formula:
EWU (hydrozones) = (ETo) (PF) (HA) (0.62)/748
(in 100 cubic feet) (IE)
EWU (hydrozone) = Estimated water use (hundred cubic feet)
ETo = Reference evapotranspiration
(i.e., ETo Zone 3a = seventy-five inches per year)
PF = Plant factor (see definitions)
LA = Landscape area (in square feet)
(0.62) = Conversion factor (to gallons per square foot)
(IE) = Irrigation efficiency (see definitions)
748 = Conversion factor (to hundred cubic feet)
4.Estimated Annual Total Water Use. A calculation of the estimated annual total
hydrozone water use shall be submitted with the final landscaping plan submittal.
The estimated annual total water use for the entire landscaped area equals the sum
of the estimated annual water use (EWU) of all hydrozones in that landscaped area.
5.Landscape Design Plan. A landscape design plan meeting the following
requirements shall be submitted as part of the final landscaping plan submittal.
a.Plant Selection and Grouping.
i.Any plants may be used in the landscape, providing the estimated
annual applied water use recommended does not exceed the maximum
annual applied water allowance and that the plants meet the
specifications set forth in this section.
ii.Plants having similar water use shall be grouped together in distinct
hydrozones.
iii. Plants shall be selected appropriately based upon their adaptability to
the climate, geologic, and topographical conditions of the site. Protection

v. The use of invasive and/or noxious plant species is strongly discouraged.
Applicants should consult the Invasive Plant Inventory prepared by the
California Invasive Plant Council prior to the selection of any plant species
for landscaping.
vi. Applicants shall consult the most current list of prohibited and restricted
plant species prepared by the Riverside County agricultural commissioner
prior to the selection of any plant species for landscaping. Restricted plant
species shall be approved or cleared by the agricultural commissioner and
obtained from an authorized local supplier.
vii. The architectural guidelines of a common interest development,
which include community apartment projects, condominiums, property
owners associations, planned developments, and stock cooperatives, shall
not prohibit or include conditions that have the effect of prohibiting the
use of low-water use plants as a group.
viii. Annual color plantings shall be used only in areas of high visual impact
and must be irrigated with drip, microirrigation or other systems with
efficiencies of ninety percent or greater. Otherwise, drip irrigated, perennial
plantings should be the primary source of color.
b. Water Features.
i. Recirculating water shall be used for decorative water features.
ii. Water features shall be appropriately sized and designed for functional
and recreational purposes in conjunction with recreational amenities,
placed at a location visible from adjacent residential or commercial uses,
and serve a functional purpose such as stormwater retention, interactive
play, irrigation storage, and/or wildlife habitat.
iii. All water features shall be replenished by a nonpotable water supply
unless otherwise conditioned or approved by the planning commission.
Where available, recycled water shall be used as a source for decorative
water features.
iv. Surface area of a water feature shall be included in the high water use
hydrozone area of the water budget calculation.

water use for each major plant group hydrozone and water feature
hydrozone (if water features have been approved);
159
8
ii. Landscape materials, trees, shrubs, groundcover, turf and other
vegetation. Planting symbols shall be clearly drawn and plants labeled by
botanical name, common name, water use classification, container size,
spacing and quantities of each group of plants indicated;
iii. Property lines, tract name, tract number or parcel number, and street
names;
iv. Streets, driveways, walkways and other paved areas;
v. Pools, ponds, water features, fences and retaining walls;

xi. Designation of recreational turf areas.
d. Design and Placement of Turf.
i. Turf shall be placed within functional and accessible recreational areas.
Turf placement is discouraged at locations adjacent to perimeter streets
and sidewalks and those locations having limited visibility and/or
pedestrian activity.
ii. All typical landscaping plans for prototypical residential units (tract
homes) shall include a no-turf option.
iii. Long, narrow or irregularly shaped turf areas shall not be designed
because of the difficulty in irrigating uniformly without overspray onto
hardscaped areas, streets, and sidewalks. Landscape areas less than ten
feet in width shall not be designed with turf. Turf will be allowed in these
areas only if irrigation design reflects the use of subsurface irrigation or a
surface flow/wick irrigation system.
iv. Turf areas irrigated with spray/rotor systems must be set back at least
twenty-four inches from curbs, driveways, sidewalks or any other area that
may result in runoff of water onto hardscape. An undulating landscape
buffer area created by the setback shall be designed with rocks, cobble or
decomposed granite and/or can be landscaped with drip irrigated
shrubs/accents or covered with a suitable groundcover.
v. Turf is prohibited on slopes greater than twenty-five percent where the
toe of the slope is adjacent to an impermeable hardscape and where
twenty-five percent means one foot of vertical elevation change for every
four feet of horizontal length (rise divided by run x 100 = slope percent).
160
9
vi. Turf grass coverage shall be limited to no more than fifty percent of any
project’s total landscaped area.
vii. Turf grass is prohibited in perimeter landscape areas of new
residential and nonresidential developments.
e. Design and Placement of Groundcover and Mulch.
i. The use of a soil covering mulch or a mineral groundcover of a minimum
three-inch depth to reduce soil surface evaporation is required around
trees, shrubs, and on nonirrigated areas. The use of boulders and creek
stones shall be considered to reduce the total vegetation area. These areas
should have enough shade to avoid reflected or retained heat.
ii. Stabilizing mulching products shall be used on slopes.
iii. Soil amendments shall be incorporated according to recommendations
of the soil report and what is appropriate for the plants selected.
f. Stormwater Best Management Practices.
i. The landscaping plans shall identify the location and installation details
of any applicable stormwater best management practices that encourage
on-site retention and infiltration of stormwater. Stormwater best
management practices are strongly encouraged in the landscape design
plan and examples include, but are not limited to:
(A) Infiltration beds, swales, and basins, that allow water to collect
and soak into the ground;
(B) Constructed wetlands and retention ponds that retain water,
handle excess flow, and filter pollutants;
(C) Pervious or porous surfaces (e.g., permeable pavers or blocks,
pervious or porous concrete, etc.) that minimize runoff; and
(D) Any applicable rain harvesting or catchment technologies used

from wells are not exempted from the maximum annual applied water allowance,
prescribed water audits or the provisions of these criteria.
8. Grading Design Plan.
a. For efficient use of water, grading of a project site shall be designed to
minimize soil erosion, runoff, and water waste. A landscape grading plan shall
be submitted as a part of the final landscaping plan submittal package. A
comprehensive grading plan prepared by a civil engineer in coordination with
the landscape architect satisfies this requirement.
b. The grading design plan shall indicate finished configurations and
elevations of the landscaped area, including the height of graded slopes,
drainage patterns, pad elevations, finish grade, and stormwater retention
improvements, if applicable.
c. To prevent excessive erosion and runoff, it is highly recommended that
project applicants:
i. Grade so that all irrigation and normal rainfall remains within property
lines and does not drain on to nonpermeable hardscapes;
ii. Avoid disruption of natural discharge drainage patterns and undisturbed
soil; and
iii. Avoid soil compaction in landscape areas.
d. The grading design plan shall contain the following statement: “I have
complied with the criteria of the ordinance and applied them accordingly for
the efficient use of water in the grading plan.”
e. Slopes greater than twenty-five percent shall not be irrigated with an
irrigation system with a precipitation rate exceeding 0.75 inches per hour. This
restriction may be modified if the landscape designer specifies an alternative
design or technology, as part of the final landscaping plan submittal, and
clearly demonstrates no runoff or erosion will occur. Prevention of runoff must
be confirmed during an irrigation audit.
166
15
f. All grading must retain normal stormwater runoff and provide for an
area of containment. All irrigation water must be retained within property lines
and not allowed to flow into public streets or into the public right-of-way.
Where appropriate, a simulated dry creek bed may be used to convey storm
drainage into retention areas. A drywell shall be installed if the retention basin
is to be used as a recreational area.
g. Avoid mounded or sloped planting areas that contribute to runoff onto
hardscape. Sloped planting areas above a hardscape area shall be avoided
unless there is a drainage swale at toe of slope to direct runoff away from
hardscape.
h. Median islands must be graded to prevent stormwater and excess
irrigation runoff.

from soil texture/infiltration rate tables. A range of infiltration rates
shall be noted where appropriate,
(C) Measure of pH, total soluble salts, and percent organic matter;
iv. The soil analysis report shall be submitted to the city as part of the final
landscaping plan;
v. The soil analysis report shall be made available, in a timely manner, to
the professionals preparing the landscape design plans and the irrigation
plans to make any adjustments to the design plans;
vi. The project applicant or his or her designated agent shall submit
documentation verifying implementation of the soil analysis report
recommendations to the local agency with the certificate of completion
prior to final inspection.
10. Certification. An approval stamp and/or signature block from the Coachella
Valley Water District and Riverside County agricultural commissioner shall be
identified on the final landscaping plans. Approval of final landscaping plans from
any outside agencies, if necessary, shall be obtained by the applicant prior to final
approval of the plans by the planning director.

A. Adoption of Map. The boundaries of the zoning districts established in this zoning code
shall be shown on that map entitled “City of La Quinta Official Zoning Map” on file with the
director and available for public examination and purchase.
B. Interpretation of District Boundaries. Where uncertainty exists regarding the precise
boundaries of districts on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
1. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets shall be
construed as congruent with such centerlines. Boundaries indicated as approximately
following the right-of-way lines of streets shall be construed as congruent with such
right-of-way lines and shall further be construed as moving with such right-of-way
lines.
2. Boundaries indicated as approximately following lot lines shall be construed as
congruent with such lot lines.
3. Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of the lines described in
subsections (B)(1) and (2) of this section shall be so construed. Distances not
specifically indicated on the official zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the
map.
4. Where any public right-of-way is officially vacated or abandoned, the zoning district
regulations applied to abutting property shall thereafter extend to the centerline of
such vacated or abandoned right-of-way.
5. Where lot line adjustments between two existing parcels, one within a residential
district and the other within a Golf Course district, result in a larger residential district
parcel, a zone change is not required when the proposed increase in the residential
district parcel size resulting from the lot line adjustment is less than twenty (20)
percent. The residential district regulations governing the existing residential parcel
are applied to the added parcel area resulting from the approved lot line adjustment
between two parcels.

9.60.290 Compatibility review for partially developed subdivisions.
A. Purpose. Residential subdivisions are often developed in phases, either by the same or
different developers or by individual owner-builders. This section imposes requirements to
ensure that units in later phases of such projects are compatible in design and appearance
with those already constructed.
B. For purposes of this section, the term “compatible” means residential buildings which are
similar in floor area and harmonious in architectural style, mass, scale, materials, colors, and
overall appearance.
C. Applicability. This section applies to all second story additions, proposed major design
deviations, and new residential units which are different from those originally constructed
and/or approved and which are proposed for construction within a partially developed
subdivision, except for a custom home subdivision, project or phase. Proposed minor design
deviations are not subject to this section. These requirements are in addition to other
applicable regulations in this code.
1. Minor Design Deviation. A minor design deviation can be approved by the planning division
without a public hearing. Minor design deviation means a modification of an approved
architectural unit within a subdivision that involves items such as, but not limited to, less than
ten percent change in square footage of existing constructed or approved units; columns,
dormer vents, window size changes, plant-on locations, color, and stucco texture changes.
176
25
The director may refer the minor design deviation to the planning commission as a business
item under the site development permit process.
2. Major Design Deviation. A major design deviation is subject to the compatibility review for
partially developed subdivisions. A major design deviation means a ten percent or more

206
55
21. Special attention shall be given to the use of aesthetic treatments, such as
colored/textured paving or decorative gates, that contribute to the overall image
and connectivity of the development.
22. New mixed use development shall relate to adjacent single-family residential
districts in the following ways:
a. By stepping down the scale, height, and density of buildings at the
edges of the project adjacent to less intense development. Step the building
down at the ends or sides nearest a single-family unit, to a height similar to
that of the adjacent single-family unit (or of typical single-family residences in
the vicinity if adjacent to an undeveloped single-family zoning district).
b. By incorporating architectural elements and materials that are similar to
those used in the neighborhood.
c. By locating parking areas within the project interior or at the side or
back when necessary to achieve the “residential front yard” appearance.
d. By avoiding, wherever feasible, the construction of walls on local streets
in existing neighborhoods where the wall would be located opposite front
yards.

9.150.050 Determination of spaces required.
A. Method of Determination. Off-street vehicle parking requirements shall be determined
and provided in accordance with this section when the subject building or structure is
constructed or a use is established or changed. In determining such off-street parking
requirements, the city may use the alternative methods described in this section. The city
reserves the option of requiring the use of more than one of these methods, depending
on the type, size and mix of uses in a proposed development.
B. In the Village Build-Out Plan Area, a reduction of fifty percent is allowed, and any
variation of the parking standard can be approved by the director. No additional off-
207
56
street parking is required for a change in nonresidential use. Development projects are
required to must demonstrate that they can provide all of the parking for residential
development on-site, and a minimum of half the required spaces for commercial
development on-site. Parking spaces required but not provided on-site can be provided
through the preparation of a parking plan that can include:
1. Use of on-street parking spaces immediately adjacent to the project.
2. A shared parking agreement with adjacent property owner.
3. A fair share contribution to the in lieu fee program.
4. An allocation of surplus parking spaces from ninety percent of the Village
parking study parking supply at high season peak, as annually updated by the city, if
on-site parking provided for nonresidential land use on the project site is
contractually dedicated as public shared parking, and signage is provided to allow
public parking on the project site.
5. Other methods approved in a site development permit.
C. Alternative Methods. Section 9.150.060 specifies the standard number of parking
spaces required for most land uses. This schedule is required unless the applicant can
show to the satisfaction of the city decision-making authority that it does not apply.
Other alternative methods herein below may then be employed to determine the
required parking spaces:
1. A recognized authority’s shared parking methodology for calculating the peak
demand over time for parking in a development of mixed uses using the same
parking facilities as specified in Section 9.150.070;
2. A city methodology for calculating the parking demand for extremely complex
or unusual uses or combinations of uses for which the standard schedule, a
recognized authority’s methodology and/or verifiable data are not applicable. Some
or all of the following factors may be utilized in this methodology: expected numbers
of occupants, employees, customers or visitors, vehicles stationed on the site,
service and loading spaces required, handicapped spaces required, emergency
access considerations and use of parking by unauthorized vehicles.
D. Parking In-Lieu Program. The city may permit required parking spaces in the Village
Build-Out Plan Area to be reduced through execution of a parking agreement, subject to
the following requirements:
1. A binding agreement, recorded against the property, between this city and the
property owner. The agreement shall contain, at a minimum, all of the following:
a. The agreement shall be binding upon the parties thereto, their heirs,
successors and assigns, and shall run with the land;
b. A payment schedule with a payment period not exceeding four years. If
an assessment/benefit or parking improvement district is established, the
obligation of the property owner shall become due and payable under the
terms of such district;
208
57
c. A cash mitigation payment. The amount per space shall be established
as determined by the planning and public works divisions, plus an inflation
factor. The amount will be calculated at the time of agreement execution.
2. An irrevocable offer from the property owner to participate in any future
assessment/benefit or parking improvement district that may be formed in the VC or
MU overly districts.
3. The money collected may be released to a city-created parking
assessment/benefit or parking improvement district, or may be used in the
furtherance of general parking improvements in the VC or MU overlay districts, at
the option of the city. Any financial obligation issued against such property shall be
reduced accordingly to the amount of mitigation money paid at the time of the
district formation.
4. The property owner shall secure the mitigation payment by providing the city
with a second deed of trust in the amount of the total mitigation payment.
E. Incentive Based Parking Adjustments. In all districts, the following may result in a
reduction in parking spaces of up to fifteen percent, subject to approval by the planning
commission:
1. Permanent, non-vegetation shade structures covering fifty percent of all
parking spaces.
2. Increased landscaping and public spaces.
3. Pedestrian improvements not located in the right-of-way or project driveways.
4. Vehicular and nonvehicular connections between projects.
5. Use of pervious surfaces for drainage, or creative drainage solutions.
6. New commercial and mixed use development providing preferred parking
locations for electric and other alternative fuel vehicles.
7. Developments that provide a minimum of two parking spaces or of the
minimum number of spaces, whichever is greater, for golf carts and neighborhood
electric vehicles (NEV) shall receive a parking credit reduction equal to five percent
of the standard parking spaces required for that development. (Ord. 553 § 1, 2017;
Ord. 550 § 1, 2016)

1. Valet parking shall be reviewed by the planning commission in conjunction with
the site development permit or other entitlement for the use or separately as a
minor use permit per the procedures of Section 9.210.020.
2. When valet parking is provided, a minimum of twenty-five percent of the
required parking area shall be designated and arranged for self-parking to prevent
on-street parking and blocking of fire lanes.
H. Shopping Cart Storage.
1. Every use which utilizes shopping carts shall provide a shopping cart collection
area or cart racks.
2. Cart racks shall be distributed so that no parking space within the facility is
more than 100 feet from the nearest cart rack in order to prevent parking spaces
from being lost to the random abandonment of shopping carts.
3. Each cart rack shall include either a steel frame or curbs on the lower side to
contain the shopping carts.
4. If sidewalks adjacent to stores are used for temporary storage of assembled
shopping carts, such sidewalks shall be designed with extra width so that pedestrian
flows are not blocked by shopping carts. The planning commission may also require
a screening wall or landscape screening in front of such a cart storage area.
I. Underground and Decked Parking.
1. The minimum dimensions for underground, decked or covered parking shall be
as required for uncovered surface area parking as specified throughout this section,
except additional minimum dimensions may be required for specific circulation
conditions or structural impediments created by the parking structure.

the environment. This shall include perimeter grade planting and rooftop
landscaping as deemed appropriate by the planning commission.
213
62
3. Parking structures shall be subject to site development permit review in all
cases.
4. Multiple-level parking structures shall contain light wells (minimum dimensions:
twenty by twenty), placed at least every two hundred feet. The base elevation of the
light well shall be landscaped.
5. The planning commission may require that upper levels be set back from the

from the street.
J. Lighting of Parking and Loading Areas.
1. Illumination of parking and loading areas shall conform to the requirements of
this subsection and Section 9.100.150 (Outdoor lighting).
2. Light standard heights shall be as per manufacturer’s recommended photo
metrics, but in no case shall the height exceed the maximum permitted building
height of the zone in which it is situated or eighteen feet (measured from finish
grade at the base of the standard), whichever is greater. Graduated light standard
heights within a site with lower heights in peripheral areas may be required by the
planning commission to provide compatibility with adjoining properties and streets.
3. Average illumination levels at finish grade in parking areas which require
lighting shall be between one and two foot-candles, with a maximum ratio of
average light to minimum light of three to one. Lighting plans shall take into
account the placement and growth of landscape materials.
K. Screening of Parking Areas.
1. Screening Required. Except for single-family detached, single-family attached
and duplex residential, all parking areas shall be screened by means of walls or
other materials in accordance with this subsection.
2. Height. Screening shall be a minimum of three feet high adjacent to public
streets or nonresidential uses and a minimum of six feet high adjacent to residential
uses, except that screening shall not exceed thirty inches high where required for
motorist sight distances as specified in Section 9.100.030.
3. Screening Walls.
a. Wall Materials. Walls shall consist of concrete, stucco, plaster, stone,
brick, tile or similar type of solid material a minimum of six inches thick. Walls
shall utilize durable materials, finishes, and colors consistent with project
buildings.
b. Wall Articulation. To avoid visual monotony, long straight stretches of
wall or fence shall be avoided. Walls and fences shall be varied by the use of
such design features as offsets (i.e., jogs), pilasters, open panels (e.g.,
containing wrought iron), periodic variations in materials, texture or colors, and
similar measures. Screening walls or fences may also include open portions
(tubular steel, wrought iron, etc.) if the city determines that the desired
screening of parking areas and noise attenuation is still achieved.
214
63
c. Wall Planting. Shrubs and/or vines shall be planted on one or both sides
of perimeter walls to add visual softening except where determined infeasible
or unnecessary by the city. Where any parking or driveway abuts a wall on
property within a residential or commercial district, a minimum three and a half
foot wide landscaped planter, with a curb, shall separate the parking area or
driveway from the property line, unless a greater setback is required by any
other provisions of this chapter.
4. Other Screening Materials. In addition to walls, if approved by the decision-
making authority, screening may consist of one or a combination of the following
materials:
a. Plant Screens and Berms. Plant materials, when used as a screen, shall
consist of compact evergreen plants or landscaped berms (earthen mounds).
Such planting shall be of a kind or used in such a manner so as to provide

two inches and shall form an opaque screen.
c. Open Fences. An open weave or mesh-type fence shall be combined
with plant materials to form an opaque screen.
L. Parking Facility Landscaping.
1. Purpose. Landscaping of parking lots is beneficial to the public welfare in that
such landscaping minimizes nuisances such as noise and glare, provides needed
shade in the desert climate, and enhances the visual environment. Therefore,
landscaping shall be incorporated into the design of all off-street parking areas in
accordance with this subsection.
2. Preservation of Existing Trees. Where trees already exist, the parking lot shall be
designed to preserve as many such trees as feasible (in the opinion of the decision-
making authority) in order to make the best use of the existing growth and shade.
3. Screening. Screening of parking areas shall be provided in accordance with
subsection K of this section.
4. Perimeter Landscaping. Whenever any parking area, except that provided for
single-family dwellings, adjoins a street right-of-way, a perimeter planting strip
between the right-of-way and the parking area shall be landscaped and
continuously maintained. The width of the planting strip, measured from the
ultimate property line (i.e., after street dedication), shall be in accordance with Table
9-15.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
DEPARTMENT REPORT
TO: Madam Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Marcie Graham, Marketing & Communications
DATE: November 7, 2017
SUBJECT: CITY HOLIDAY DECORATIONS
Community Services Commissioner Quill has requested that the City place holiday
decorations on signal and City owned light standards in the Highway 111 corridor, and
at City Hall. The suggested decorations would require electricity to illuminate and the
light poles would need to be modified to afford power access. Marketing has
researched and requested quotes on options to consider as outlined below:
Pole Mounted Garland – This option was suggested by Commission Member
Quill, which would entail installing garland style decorations along Highway 111
and at City Hall. These decorations would require electricity at each pole to
accommodate the light up feature. The cost is $500 per decoration plus $500
per pole for electrical installation with a grand total of $10,000.
DEPARTMENT REPORT ITEM NO. 1-B
263
LED Holiday Lighting – Another option entails festive, LED Holiday lighting with
oversized objects, which could be placed throughout the Highway 111 corridor.
The City could purchase or lease individual pieces with the cost ranging from
$100 - $10,000, not including cost of the electrical installation.
Holiday Street Pole Banners – Vinyl banners that could be placed down Highway
111 from Washington to Jefferson. The current light poles can accommodate
approximately 25 banners; no electrical power improvements are needed. The
design and banner cost would be approximately $3,000, not including staff
time to install the banners.
