Staff recommends that the Director consider evidence of landscape improvements,
on-site maintenance, debris removal, and future site maintenance by the applicant of
Minor Use Permit (MUP) 2015-0004 and decide whether revocation of the permit is
warranted. Revocation Findings are included if the Director decides to revoke the
permit.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The conditions of approval of MUP 2015-0004 authorize the Director to modify or
revoke the Minor Use Permit if the property is operated or maintained so as to
constitute a public nuisance. A Notice of Substandard Building and/or Property was
recorded on January 26, 2016 due to the removal of canopy trees, lack of on-site
landscape maintenance, and debris at the subject site. The applicant did not comply
with the October 6, 2016 deadline to abate the property nuisances pursuant to the
Letter of Agreement entered into between the City of La Quinta and applicant. Staff
requests that the Director of Design and Development consider revocation of MUP
2015-0004 with the evidence of progress by the applicant towards abatement of the
public nuisance pursuant to a Secondary Agreement entered into between the
Page 1 of 3

applicant and the City.
BACKGROUND:
0
The Community Development Director approved Minor Use Permit 2015-0004 on
August 20, 2015 to establish and operate a 135,000 square foot convention center
located at 79315 Highway 111 (Attachment 3). The building is considered an "M"
Occupancy, Mercantile use and requires a change to an "A" Occupancy, Assembly use.
The applicant submitted a building permit application to the City on October 30, 2015
for proposed tenant improvements to remodel the building in preparation of the
planned Coachella Valley Wind Up music festival event. The convention center use
will be considered established once a certificate of occupancy is issued for completion
of convention center tenant improvements. The applicant did not proceed with the
building remodel and the building permit for tenant improvements was never issued.
During the wind events in November 2015, numerous mature mesquite trees in the
landscape diamonds in the parking area of the subject site were observed to have
fallen over by City staff. The applicant subsequently removed up to 100 trees and did
not proceed to replace the trees. In addition to the removed trees, the site was
observed to include a lack of landscape maintenance and debris. On January 25, 2016
Code Compliance mailed a Notice of Public Nuisance regarding the landscape and
general site maintenance (Attachment 4). A Notice of Substandard Building and/or
Property was recorded on the property on January 26, 2016 (Attachment 5).
The applicant entered into a letter of agreement with the City of La Quinta on May 10,
2016 for correcting the public nuisance no later than October 6, 2016 and the
correction of the public nuisance issues did not occur by the agreed date (Attachment
6).
ANALYSIS:
The Director of Design and Development is authorized by Condition No. 1 of MUP 2015-
0004 to modify or revoke the approval if the property is operated or maintained so as
to constitute a public nuisance. Planning Division staff informed the applicant on
October 24, 2016 that revocation proceedings would be initiated due to the lack of
compliance by the applicant with Condition No. 1 and based on the inability of the
applicant to perform nuisance abatement work pursuant to the May 10, 2016 Letter of
Agreement. A notice of the revocation proceedings for the minor use permit was
mailed to the applicant on November 1, 2016.
A secondary Letter of Agreement was executed on November 1, 2016 between the
applicant and the City of La Quinta, which requires the replanting of all missing trees,
landscape maintenance and the corrections of all violations at the subject site by
December 6, 2016 with intermediate benchmarks (Attachment 7). Staff has observed
the abatement activities occurring on the site beginning November 8, 2016, which
Page 2 of 3
included removal of all tree stumps, repair of the irrigation system, debris removal,
and installation of new ficus and mesquite trees of a mature size. Anthony Moreno,
Code Compliance Supervisor, conducted a site inspection on November 28, 2016 and
observed substantial progress by the applicant toward the requirements of the
Secondary Letter of Agreement. At the December 7, 2016 Director's hearing, the
Director of Design and Development requested evidence of an executed contract
between the applicant and a landscape maintenance contractor for future
maintenance of the site to demonstrate compliance with the terms of the Secondary
Letter of Agreement.
PUBLIC REVIEW:
Public Notice:
This project was advertised in The Desert Sun newspaper on November 4, 2016, and
mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the site. No comment letters have
been received.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City of La Quinta Design and Development Department has determined that the
convention center use is Categorically Exempt from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is exempt from further environmental review
pursuant to section 15301 (Class 1 - Existing Facilities).

legitimate landscape company with a City business license, identifying
the scope of work, a schedule, the size of the crew, and type of

• Confirm both water and power service are in operation at the site.
Provided these items are completed, the City requires the public nuisance to
be abated. This includes trimming of overgrown vegetation, removal and
replacement of dead shrubs, restoration of water and electric utilities, repair
of all irrigation, testing of irrigation to ensure it is in proper working
condition, trimming of remaining existing trees, removal of tree root balls
and repair of irrigation where the 100 plus trees were cut down.

Continue the Director's Hearing of Minor Use Permit (MUP) 2015-0004 to December 7,
2016 at 11:00 A.M. (Attachment 9)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The conditions of approval of MUP 2015-0004 authorize the Director to modify or
revoke the Minor Use Permit if the property is operated or maintained so as to
constitute a public nuisance. A Notice of Substandard Building and/or Property was
recorded on January 26, 2016 due to the removal of canopy trees, lack of on-site
landscape maintenance, and debris at the subject site. The applicant did not comply
with the October 6, 2016 deadline to abate the property nuisances pursuant to the
Letter of Agreement entered into between the City of La Quinta and applicant. Staff
requests that the Director of Design and Development Director consider revocation of
MUP 2015-0004 as the public nuisance abatement has not occurred.
BACKGROUND:
The Community Development Director approved Minor Use Permit 2015-0004 on
Page 1 of 3
August 20, 2015 to establish and operate a 135,000 square foot convention center
located at 79315 Highway 111 (Attachment 3). The building is considered an "M"
Occupancy, Mercantile use and requires a change to an "A" Occupancy, Assembly use.
The applicant submitted a building permit application to the City on October 30, 2015
for proposed tenant improvements to remodel the building in preparation of the
planned Coachella Valley Wind Up music festival event. The convention center use
will be considered established once a certificate of occupancy is issued for completion
of convention center tenant improvements. The applicant did not proceed with the
building remodel and the building permit for tenant improvements was never issued.
During the wind events in November 2015, numerous mature mesquite trees in the
landscape diamonds in the parking area of the subject site were observed to have
fallen over by City staff. The applicant subsequently removed up to 100 trees and did
not proceed to replace the trees. In addition to the removed trees, the site was
observed to include a lack of landscape maintenance and debris. On January 25, 2016
Code Compliance mailed a Notice of Public Nuisance regarding the landscape and
general site maintenance (Attachment 4). A Notice of Substandard Building and/or
Property was recorded on the property on January 26, 2016 (Attachment 5).
The applicant entered into a letter of agreement with the City of La Quinta on May 10,
2016 for correcting the public nuisance no later than October 6, 2016 and the
correction of the public nuisance issues did not occur by the agreed date (Attachment
6).
ANALYSIS:
The Director of Design and Development is authorized by Condition No -1 of MUP 2015-
0004 to modify or revoke the approval if the property is operated or maintained so as
to constitute a public nuisance. Planning Division staff informed the applicant on
October 24, 2016 that revocation proceedings would be initiated due to the lack of
compliance by the applicant with Condition No.1 and based on the inability of the
applicant to perform nuisance abatement work pursuant to the May 10, 2016 Letter of
Agreement. A notice of the revocation proceedings for the minor use permit was
mailed to the applicant on November 1, 2016.
A secondary Letter of Agreement was executed on November 1, 2016 between the
applicant and the City of La Quinta, which requires the replanting of all missing trees,
landscape maintenance and the corrections of all violations at the subject site by
December 6, 2016 with intermediate benchmarks (Attachment 7). Staff has observed
the abatement activities occurring on the site on November 8, 2016, which included
removal of all tree stumps and the replanting of up to 25 mesquite trees. Monitoring
of the progress of site improvements pursuant to the secondary letter of agreement
will continue until the December 6 deadline.

At your request. I have attached a copy of the floor plan. You can now clearly see that the building is
primarily one wide open space. Our renovations that we will undertake are minimal. We will add 4
restrooms to meet code. A catering serving room will be sectioned off. All catering/food will be
provided by outside sources. One wall will be added to section off the storage area and a few
individual rooms will be added to the rear of the main existing storage area. Fire exits and fire safety
equipment will all meet code.
Narrative/Operation Plan: All events/ functions will be hosted in the wide open space that we have.
We will set up to accommodate the various needs of the events/functions with dividers — carpet
and furniture, as every single event/function will have their own requirements and preferences.
Events/Functions may include but not be limited to : Conventions, Weddings, Trade Shows, Street
Fairs, Community Gatherings, Community Meetings, Charity Sponsored Events, Fashion
Shows,Festivals for Art,Culture and Music, Parties for example Halloween,New Years, Academy
Awards and so on, Food Tasting, Health and Wellness Events, Kid and Family Expos, Jewelry Shows,
Conferences, Seminars, Workshops, Hospitality Expos, Beauty Expos, Home and Garden Shows, Film
Festivals, Motivational Speakers, Gala's.
This is a concrete building and it is great that noise ordinance is not an issue as we are hosting
indoor venues. We will stop serving alcohol at the events as required by law. We will
provide adequate security and police presence as dictated by various events. I called the Palm
Springs Convention Center and asked what time we could keep an event open until
In their facility and they indicated sometimes they have seen them go till 4 to 5am. They said people
pay money to rent for a 24 hour period times how many days they need. They said of course , no
out door music. We will have some events that might end at 5pm and others that might end at 6
am. It is great to be able to accommodate indoor events in La Quinta. Wow - what a great thing for
La Quinta and the Millennials that we have talked so much about attracting to La Quinta, because
they usually do not go to bed by 9:30pm. This Convention Center is HUGE for La Quinta and the
Valley as a whole. I am hopeful that I have now met your requirements and you can issue the Minor
Use Permit. This building was designed as a commercial building and I am hopeful that there will not
be any operational use conditions as I have now elaborated with more detail as you requested. A
Convention Center Needs to be ran like a Convention Center. I am asking for your assistance to issue
this permit.

RE: Minor Use Permit
Mr. Les Johnson,
I am writing to provide clarification to the City of La Quinta in order to achieve the minor use permit for
the Convention Center. An application was submitted on July 8, 2015 for the minor use permit. The city
requested an authorization letter from the existing owner to comply with the minor use permit for the
Convention Center. This has been completed. Attached you will find a new application for a minor use
permit with today's date.
We are writing to you to confirm that this Convention Center is, in essence, a large open space with 4
walls surrounding the perimeter of the space. It has been confirmed by a letter from the City of La Quinta
that was provided on April 13, 2015 that the use of the building as a Convention Center is permitted. We
have reviewed your request for a few more details for clarity as requested via email on July 15, 2015. The
following items were requested from the City: "Please note the following is needed: - Project Narrative -
Operations Plan - Floor Plan (Exhibition space, meeting halls/rooms, ballrooms, commercial areas,
kitchens, restrooms, lobby areas, loading areas, storage, etc.)"
The narrative/description that you have requested has been provided is as follows; the convention center
will host conventions, events, trade shows, festivals for arts, culture and music. The events will provide
our guests with food and beverages of all types. We will have a catering serving room and no kitchen will
be added. The events will be catered from outside sources. The building was already designed as a large
commercial space to serve the general public. We have attached a picture of the 5 large loading docks
that currently exist. The exhibition space, meeting halls/rooms, ballroom commercial areas and lobby
areas that you requested clarification on, are all encompassed by one wide open space that already exists

(as is). Please view Exhibit B that clearly depicts this. Furniture is used to divide areas as each venue has
its own set of requirements — please view Exhibit C. There is a large existing outside storage area that has
also been shown in Exhibit A.
It is understood that the fire exits and fire operation systems are required to be inspected and signed -off
on prior to opening by Cal Fire — Riverside County Fire Department, Fire Safety Specialist Office of the Fire
Marshal. We are hopeful that we have now answered your questions to allow for the issuance of the
minor use permit that we require.
