Environmental Assessment 2000-399 Specific Plan 2000-047. Parcel Map 29791 Conditional Use Permit 2000-050 and Site Development Permit 2000-680, a request of La Quinta Court, JDD, LLC for certification of a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact approval of a Specific Plan for design guidelines and development standards, a Condition Use Permit to allow motorcycle and golf cart sales, Site Development Permit for architecture and landscaping approval, and a Parcel Map to merge six parcels into one. 1. Chairman Robbins opened the public hearing and asked for the staff report. Planning Manager Christine di lorio and Contract Planner Nicole Criste presented the information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development Department. Staff noted two changes they were recommending to the Conditions; Condition #67 changed to remove the word "safe" and replace with "efficient water management" for both applications. Also, Condition #64 should be deleted. 2. Chairman Robbins asked if there were any questions of staff. Commissioner Abels asked about the drive -through on Building 3 and on Page 4 of the Specific Plan it refers to uses such as real estate, restaurant and commercial retail; why is a drive -through proposed? Staff stated drive -through restaurants are prohibited by the Specific Plan and this drive -through is for a coffee shop or bank. 3. Commissioner Kirk questioned Page 6 of the Specific Plan where it indicates the Specific Plan allows the use of automobile, motorcycle and vehicle sales with exterior displays on Buildings 2 and 4 and references Exhibits "E-B" and "E-C", and when looked at C:\My Documents\WPDOCS\PC7-25-OO.wpd 2 Planning Commission Minutes July 25, 2000 the exhibits he could not find where the exterior display would occur. Staff indicated on the plans where the display area would be and they are to be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Department. It could not be located on Highway 1 1 1 or Washington Street, behind the landscape setback. 4. Commissioner Kirk stated that he generally believes the City's shopping centers are over -parked and he appreciates the use of shared parking on this project. He questioned whether or not the reduction in the number of parking spaces is due to the dinner house having different hours of operation. However, he did not see anything in the Specific Plan that would limit the use of that site as a dinner house over time. When you look at shared uses on parking it should be looked at over time. Staff stated in the Specific Plan the applicant has addressed the square footage needed for a restaurant use and the square footage for retail uses. If it were to be exceeded, they would have to apply for an amendment to the Specific Plan. Planning Consultant Nicole Criste stated the requirement for restaurant parking at 35 square feet per parking space, are more restrictive than those for a retail center under 50,000 square feet, which is one space for 250 square feet. So overall, if the use were to change to retail, the parking requirement would go down. 5. Commissioner Tyler stated he had a problem understanding just how many parking spaces there were. He has a problem with the shared parking because the use is contiguous with a grocery store and grocery stores typically have extended hours so the parking spaces could be jointly used. He asked what the real parking space total was. In addition, he has a hard time counting the seven parking spaces in the drive -through as part of the parking total. 6. Commissioner Butler asked if there was an existing left turning pocket southbound on Washington Street. Senior Engineer Steve Speer stated it is not there. The existing median is only eight feet wide and in order to for this proposal to get a left turn onto Simon Drive, the applicant has willingly offered to dedicate an additional eight feet to get the pocket creating a 16 foot wide mediam. 7. Chairman Robbins stated they would have to move back the curve returns on Simon Drive easterly, and what will happen southerly of this site as he does not think Washington Street is eight feet at CAMy Documents\WPDOCS\PC7-25-00-Wpd 3 Planning Commission Minutes July 25, 2000 this location. Will this development be required to widen Washington Street accordingly, south of Simon Drive, and if so, he does not see it in the conditions. Senior Engineer Steve Speer stated it was contained in the conditions as a standard condition where they have to do appropriate transitions and this fits into the category as appropriate transitions. If the right of way is not sufficient at this location, there are a couple things staff can do. If the right is not there, the City will not go forward, or the City can proceed with the acquisition at the applicant's expense. They have considerable off -site improvements on Washington Street which will be a major reconstruction job. 8. Chairman Robbins asked about Page 7 of the Specific Plan, the normal setback on Washington Street is 30 feet and vie are allowing 20 feet. What is the logic and justification to allow this. Planning Manager Christine di lorio stated the landscape setback for the General Plan and Zoning Code is 20 feet; 30 feet is for the building setback. Rather than have a driveway or parking lot on the corner, the applicant is asking under the Specific Plan to move the building to the landscape setback. Therefore, it is not modifying the City's landscape setbacks. 9. Commissioner Tyler asked how this compares with the Auto Club across the street. Community Development Director Jerry Herman stated it should be 20 feet as the 30 foot requirement was not in place at the time the Auto Club was built. 10. Contract Planner Nicole Criste stated that if the parking were addressed at the gross level, the total parking required for the square footage of a restaurant space plus the retail space would be 245 parking spaces. The proposal calls for 226 parking spaces including the stacking space. The retail use for the grocery store is not sufficiently large to allow a full service supermarket. A full service supermarket requires considerably more than the square footage provided here and the proposal is therefore for a specialty supermarket which will have more restrictive hours and clientel. The reduction of 25 parking spaces overall within the parking center, staff does not believe is excessive due to the difference in hours between the retail shops and restaurant use, given the fact the grocery store will not be a supermarket. Commissioner Tyler stated there is nothing contained in any of the documents that states that. If that is the case, and the shared parking depends upon this, there should be a condition to address this. Planning C:\My Documents\WPDOCS\PC7-25-00.Wpd 4 Planning Commission Minutes July 25, 2000 Consultant Nicole Criste stated the Commission can add a condition requiring only specialty grocery store. Practically speaking, a supermarket requires 25,000-45,000 square feet for a full service. Even if the whole building on the corner were converted to retail, based on the City's current requirements, the parking requirement would be 212 parking spaces, so this project is actually over parked at 226. The retail parking requirement is more liberal than the restaurant requirement. 1 1. Commissioner Butler stated that the proposed tenants for Building 3 are real estate agency, restaurant, and commercial retail. The project across the street where there is a real estate agency, the Commission received complaints because there wasn't enough adequate parking for the number of realtors working out of those offices. Are we addressing the need for parking given the fact that the number of spaces needed in the past has changed for some of these uses. Planning Consultant Nicole Criste stated that based on the current standard contained in the Zoning Code, there are restrictions on how the parking requirement can be looked at. To break it out by use further for a use similar to a real estate office, would require a Zoning Text Amendment. 12. Chairman Robbins stated they could require them to meet the existing Code. 13. Commissioner Kirk stated that on Page 19 of the Specific Plan there are the design requirements for the signs and there is a restriction in regard to logos and the percentage of the sign that should be take up by a logo. In the past when the Planning Commission has addressed this issue, they have been told there is very little latitude in restricting logos. He assumes the Specific Plan becomes a City document, therefore, can the Planning Commission, by approval of the Specific Plan, restrict signage in such a way. Assistant City Attorney John Ramirez asked if Commissioner Kirk was referring to the establishment's sign. Commissioner Kirk stated the Specific Plan states it is a logo and a part of the name. Assistant City Attorney Ramirez stated that under existing law the City can ban outright certain types of signs, but if the Commission decides the Code does allow them to have signs, you are very limited with what you can do to restrict them both on a size and content based issue. There are some issues with examples in the past how the City's sign ordinance has been C:\My Documents\WPDOCS\PC7-25-00-Wpd 5 Planning Commission Minutes July 25, 2000 applied in that context. Commissioner Kirk asked if the City could restrict a sign so that the logo cannot exceed 10% of the total sign area. Assistant City Attorney Ramirez stated they could as long as it is a blanket application. Typically, the problems is that these type of restrictions apply to certain signs. The problem arises if this applied only to commercial signs but not other types of signs. If it is a blanket application for all signs, the City can impose restrictions on size. Commissioner Kirk stated he thought Mr. Ramirez was saying that the City had less latitude in restricting size and now as long as it is blanket, we can restrict size. Mr. Ramirez stated that as long as it is a blanket application, regardless of the content of the sign, the Commission is free to do this. 14. There being no further questions of staff, Chairman Robbins asked if the applicant would like to address the Commission. Mr. Dale Frank, developer of the project, stated that due to the City's requirements they exceed the number of parking spaces required, so he is uncertain where the Commission believes they are under parked. Due to the irregular shape of the site, per the allowed FAR for the site, the building coverage could be 86,000 square feet, however they will have only 53,000 square feet in order to get the buildings to fit onto the site. Together with the restrictions they have to meet as far as setback requirements, they have worked diligently to meet the Code and provide a facility that is very pleasing. In regard to the drive -through, Starbucks has started having drive-throughs and most banks are also. Which use depends on who they sign as a user. It is on the back side next to Simon Drive. The architecture is a more costly type of architecture to build and is similar to what is on El Paseo in Palm Desert. They have met with staff to keep the site upscale in regard to the users. He went on to describe the site and the proposed tenants. 15. Commissioner Abels stated he was pleased with the tenants that had been identified. Mr. Frank went on further to state that at this time they have not signed any motorcycle company. Harley Davidson has contacted them and they do have a very aesthetically pleasing building. In regard to golf carts, it is a permitted use and they are asking for a conditional use for a display in a limited area because the users have asked for it. They think a show room for golf cart displays, as long as the interior CANly Documents\WPDOCS\PC7-25-OO.wpd 6 Planning Commission Minutes July 25, 2000 and exteriors are done aesthetically and architecturally pleasing, will create a very nice retail presence. Other retails they have are L G's Steakhouse, Jensens market, an optical company, a dry cleaners, one hour photo, Becker and Becker Real Estate, two major stockbroker firms, golf cart showroom, another restaurant, and a bank. They have tried to limit the type of users that create a facility that has a presence within the community. 16. Commissioner Tyler commended the applicant on their layout and attention to detail, especially the pedestrian detail. In the Specific Plan on Page 2, automotive businesses are mentioned. As the City has an auto mall he would suggest removing the use of the word "automotive". In regard to the golf carts, are they going to have display and/or retail sales. Mr. Frank stated they will have display and showroom for retail sales with no service. Commissioner Tyler questioned how they could have sales and no service on site to handle the service. Mr. Frank stated the lease restricts the service center. Commissioner Tyler noted than three parking spaces were dedicated to GTE Telecommunication equipment and asked what type of equipment this would be. Mr. Hack stated it was to provide GTE with an area for their upgraded facility to the current telecommunications equipment. It is a dedicated easement for a fiberoptic switch. This switch will service the entire area. 17. Commissioner Butler stated he too likes the project and it is a nice entry to the City. In regard to the tenants, he does not think the use of awning in the desert is a wise idea. Mr. Frank stated they are used in other cities successfully. Commissioner Butler asked if the wind would create any problems. Mr. Hack stated the awnings are broken up to complement the windows and any framework used would secure them. Mr. Frank stated it is more of an accent to the building. 18. Commissioner Abels too commended the applicant on the project. He is not happy about the motorcycle use, but he has been convinced it will work. 19. Chairman Robbins stated that on Page 14 of the Specific Plan it states the project will be built in a single phase and yet refers to future buildings. Mr. Hack stated it would all be built at one time. CAMy Documents\WPDOCS\PC7-25-00.wpd 7 Planning Commission Minutes July 25, 2000 20. Chairman Robbins asked if a prior project had been approved with awnings and didn't the Commission add a condition requiring them to be kept in a "like new" condition. Also, he has a problem with counting the seven parking spaces in the drive -through. 21. There being no further questions of the applicant, and no further public comment, Chairman Robbins closed the public participation portion of the hearing and opened the project for Commission discussion. 22. Commissioner Tyler stated that in the staff report, the use of the word "project proponent" was used as a synonym for "applicant" and asked if this was correct. Assistant City Attorney John Ramirez stated the applicant is presumed to be a proponent of the project. There is no reason the Commission could not alter the language or suggest to staff they be sensitive to their word choices. He would agree they are not synonym from a legal standpoint. Commissioner Tyler stated that since this is a legal document that will have to stand on its own over time and the language will have to be worthy of that condition. Planning consultant Nicole Criste stated the word is not used interchangably in the conditions. As a rule the applicant as described is not necessarily the project proponent who will build out the project. In this case it may very well be, however, in many projects the applicant is not the party that builds out the project. Her intent when using the word "project proponent" is that it encompass not just the applicant, but anyone else that might come forth in the future so it will apply to those parties as well. Assistant City Attorney John Ramirez stated he would look at it, but he sees no problem. 23. Commissioner Tyler stated the fire department conditions should be changed to use the word "shall". 24. Commissioner Abels stated he wanted to be sure wording was included in the Conditional Use Permit that no service would be allowed. 25. Commissioner Kirk asked if the applicant were to develop the site without a Specific Plan would a fast food or drive -through business be allowed. Staff stated it would be allowed, but this applicant was required to file a specific plan per the General Plan. C:\My Documents\WPDOCS\PC7-25-OO.wpd 8 Planning Commission Minutes July 25, 2000 What the applicant has developed is a use that is compatible with the site. As long as the drive -through is compatible with the circulation and overall project, he has no objection. 26. Chairman Robbins stated that in the conditions regarding drainage, there is normally a condition preventing nuisance water from draining into the storm drains. Senior Engineer Steve Speer stated their storm water drains to the existing storm drain that goes to the Whitewater Channel now which has a nuisance water handling box which is able to handle this site as well as the west side of the street. 27. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by Commissioners Abels/Tyler to adopt Planning Commission Resolution 2000-045 recommending to the City Council certification of Environmental Assessment 2000-399, subject to the findings and Mitigation Monitoring Program.

The project site is a 5,000 square foot vacant lot within the Village Commercial District. The project is subject to the policies and regulations of the Village at La Quinta Design Guidelines, which stipulate that village land uses are to include a diverse mix of retail, office and residential at varying densities and scale. Multi -story commercial retail/office projects shall generally locate office uses on upper floors, but PAperptVUP2000-003Corone1.wpd Page 1 are reviewed on a site -specific basis. The proposed approximately 26-foot high two-story office building (Attachments 1 and 2) will contain a total of 3,928 square feet of area on a lot that is approximately 5,000 square feet in size. The 1' floor will contain 1,423 square feet of office space with a 441 square foot 2-car garage, and the 2"d floor will have 2,064 square feet of office space. The proposed building will have a multi hip roof covered with red clay "S" tile. A roof well is proposed for mechanical equipment. A decorative dentil is proposed below the roof, at the plate line. The facade features an arched balcony and a decorative balustrade. Proposed to the left of the balcony is a recessed arched window with an angled gloss brick colored tile band sill. The ground floor of the facade features three evenly spaced pilasters with pedestal bases, and large muiti-lite storefront windows and glass doors. Each window sill is highlighted with a decorative tile band. The same arch feature is repeated on the ground floor. At the northeast corner of the building is the stairway leading up to the second floor. Midway up, the stairway turns to create a landing. The rear elevation features variety in wall planes and roof lines. The same decorative features found on the facade and south elevation are present on the rear elevation, in addition to two small planter areas next to the building. A two car garage with a sectional roll -up door is provided in the building at the rear for the owner. The right (north) side elevation is a large plain expanse of stuccoed wall and faces the adjacent property. This wall extension is a fire separation wall as the building is situated on the property line. The left (south) side consists of a partial expanse of plain stuccoed wall, and a portion featuring multi-lite windows on both floors with the angled gloss brick colored tiled band below, and a pilaster at the southeast corner of the building. The southern elevation faces the service alley. The exterior finish features rough stucco plaster walls in Crystal White, with Spanish Brown and Spice Beige as accent colors, and light smoke -colored window and door glazing. The applicant proposes metal window frames with divided lites. A color and materials exhibit will be available at the meeting. On -site parking is provided at the rear of the building and is accessed from the service alley that runs perpendicular to Avenida Villa on the south. A trash enclosure is located at the southwest corner of the lot and will be accessed through the service PAperptVUP2000-003Coronel.wpd Page 2 alley, with a pedestrian gate opening from the parking lot. A 12-foot wide right-of- way for the sidewalk is in front of the building. The parking lot will provide a total of nine spaces. Four spaces across the rear of the property will be shaded by a wooden beam (6" x 10") and joist (3" x 8" at 12"' o.c.) carport structure supported by 6" x 6" wood posts. Three spaces against the rear of the building will be shaded by the cantilevering of a portion of the top floor over the ground floor. The garage will provide parking for two cars, and feature a metal roll -up door painted Spanish brown. Section 9.150.060 of the Parking Ordinance requires one space per 250 sq. ft. of gross floor area, which results in 15.71 spaces normally being required for the building, including the garage. However, Section 9.65.030 stipulates that parking area requirements for permitted uses in the Village shall be determined by staff as set forth in Chapter 9.150 of the Zoning Code with the consideration that variations to any parking standards can be approved. Staff has determined that the nine proposed parking spaces are adequate to serve the needs of this project. Street parking will supplement available on -site parking. Lighting Proposed exterior lighting fixtures are called out on the floor plan and catalogue cut - sheets provided by the applicant (Attachment 3). Proposed are pagoda style fixtures for the rear planter and walkway lighting, and flush mounted security lights and recessed down lights for the building. Lighting for the carport will consist of flourescent fixtures mounted under the carport joists with acrylic diffuser coverings. The conceptual landscaping plan consists of a variety of plants including trees, shrubs, and ground cover. The applicant submitted a plant list included as Attachment 4. Caliper sizes of the proposed trees are not specified. Four vine pocket planters are proposed along the western half of the southern elevation. The proposed plantings will provide for visual interest and softening of the building. A 6-foot high masonry block wall is proposed along the northwest property line adjacent to the parking lot and west property line with a planting area between the wall and the parking spaces. A detail of the wall shows that it is to be decorative stucco finish to match the building with a brick cap. The trash enclosure wall will match the perimeter wall design. Proposed at the front of the building are two trees in tree wells with decorative cast iron grates in the sidewalk. The grates will have a circular design as indicated in the isometric view. PAperptVUP2000-003Coronel.wpd Page 3 in The proposed sign program includes a permanent building identification sign on the facade at the upper northeast corner of the building, and dedicated sign spaces above each office for tenants. The identification sign will consist of individually mounted 6" and 9" high aluminum letters for a total of 6.75 square feet in the University Roman font style. The signs will not be illuminated. The tenant signs will be wooden signs painted to match the building stucco and mounted flush with the building. Lettering will be of uniform style and materials consistent with the identification sign. Environmental Considerations This proposed project has been determined to be exempt from environmental assessment pursuant to Section 15303(C) of the California Environmental Quality Act which exempts stores, motels, offices, restaurants, commercial buildings or similar structures not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances and not exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor area on sites zoned for such use, and where all necessary public services and facilities are available and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. The applicant submitted a cultural resources study, the results of which did not locate any cultural resources or recommend any mitigation. Architecture and Landscape Review Committee The Architecture and Landscape Review Committee reviewed this project at its meeting of August 2, 2000, and determined that the design was acceptable as presented, with minor modifications. The Committee unanimously adopted Minute Motion 2000-015 recommending approval to the Planning Commission, subject to conditions (Attachment 4). • 1• This request was advertised in the Desert Sun newspaper on August 10, 2000, and mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the project site. To date, no correspondence has been received regarding this project. MANDATORY FINDINGS: Findings necessary to approve this request per Zoning Code Section 9.65.040(F) - (Village Use Permit) can be made and are contained in the attached Resolution with the exception of the following: PAperptVUP2000-003Coronel.wpd Page 4 1. Architectural Design. As designed and conditioned, the proposed building architecture does comply with the architectural guidelines of the adopted Village at La Quinta Design Guidelines. The proposed design, scale, and sense of place will lend itself to the Village environment by providing for pedestrian space and an attractive streetscape with the inclusion of the trees in sidewalk tree -wells with decorative cast iron grates, and the balcony with a decorative wrought iron balustrade. The entries into the offices are accessed directly from the pedestrian oriented street. The window and door openings are proportuonate to the building and allow maximum light for both floors, as well as visual interest to encourage pedestrian activity. The building mass and scale is compatible with that of surrounding commercial and residential structures, and has been designed with appropriate architectural variation and detailing to break up monotonous building elevations with the balcony, pilasters, recessed window, and tile band trims. The use of the decorative dentil and glass produce textures that are interesting and inviting. The formal pilasters and other architectural treatments help create the appearance of a highly designed project consistent with the historic Village themes, however, to enhance compatibility with the design guidelines and give the appearance of a highly designed building, staff recommends in Condition No. 35 that the stucco finish be smooth troweled. Condition No. 36 requires that all 90-degree corners be radius to soften the building. Condition No. 37 requires that the multi-lite windows and doors be true divided lites. To provide relief to the facade staff recommends in Condition No. 38 that the front stairway railing be of decorative wrought iron to match the balcony balustrade. 2. Landscape Design. The Village at La Quinta Design Guidelines requires that where building designs limit the available planting area, the placement of trees in parkways and paved areas shall be encouraged. The proposed project does not provide for any significant landscaping at the front of the building, therefore, in order to make the finding that the project complies with the design guidelines, staff recommends in Condition No. 23a that the applicant provide for two trees planted in wells in the sidewalk, with decorative cast iron grates, to both soften the building and provide for pedestrian shade. The proposed landscaping plans do not indicate the caliper of the 24-inch box or 15-gallon trees, therefore staff recommends in Condition No. 23c that the plan provide a minimum 1.5 inch caliper size for the 24-inch box size and 3/4- to 1-inch caliper for the 15-gallon sized trees, to comply with Section 9.60.300 (1)(4) of the Zoning Code.

VILLAGE USE PERMIT 2000-003 CORONEL ENTERPRISES, INC. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California, did on the 22nd day of August, 2000, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing, at the request of Coronel Enterprises, Inc, to consider a Village Use Permit for a two-story multi -tenant general office building, more particularly described as: LOT 5, BLOCK 124, UNIT NO. 14, SANTA CARMETLITA AT VALE LA QUINTA; A.P.N.: 773-075-010 WHEREAS, at the Public Hearing upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said Planning Commission did make the following findings to justify the approval of said Village Use Permit: 1. Consistency with General Plan. As designed and conditioned, the design and improvements are consistent with the current goals and objectives of the La Quinta General Plan, and the Village at La Quinta Design Guidelines, in that the two-story multi -tenant office building meets the policies and goals for small businesses offering goods and services in the Village Commercial area, 2. Consistency with Zoning Code. As designed and conditioned, the proposal is consistent with current standards of the Zoning Code in that the existing VC (Village Commercial) Zoning District provides for approval of certain uses deemed desirable in the Village downtown for the convenience of residents, visitors, and businesses but have impacts which must be mitigated by conditions specific to each proposed use. 3. Compliance with CEQA. This proposed project has been determined to be exempt from environmental assessment pursuant to Section 15303(C) of the California Environmental Quality Act which exempts office buildings not P:\peresVU P2000.-003Zeke8-22-OO.wpd involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances and not exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor area on sites zoned for such use, and where all necessary public services and facilities are available, and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. Considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence before the City that the proposed project will have potential for adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat on which the wildlife depends. 4. Surrounding Uses. As designed and conditioned, the design of the two-story multi -tenant office building is not likely to cause serious public health problems, or adversely impact the general public welfare or safety, in that the Fire Department, Community Development Department, and the City's Building & Safety Department have reviewed the project for these issues with no significant concerns identified. 5. Architectural Design. As designed and conditioned, the proposed building architecture does comply with the architectural guidelines of the adopted Village at La Quinta Design Guidelines with respect to design, scale, mass, place, and appropriate architectural detailing including radius corners, the decorative dentil, wrought iron balustrade, and smooth troweled stucco finish. 6. Site Design. As designed and conditioned, the proposed office building is consistent with the development standards for the Village Commercial Zoning District with respect to setbacks, building height of 24' 6", adequate 1parking and traffic circulation with access from the service alley, trash facility with pedestrian gate, location of landscaping planters in the rear parking lot, shading for parking provided by the carport and the cantilevering of the building, and required street improvements to the service alley and Avenida Villa. 7. Landscape Design. As designed and conditioned, the proposed project is consistent with the Village at La Quinta Design Guidelines with respect to the design of the landscaping for the parking lot, appropriate plant species, and the two trees in tree -wells in the front sidewalk to provide pedestrian shading and soften the appearance of the building. 8. Sign Program. As designed and conditioned, the proposed locations and design for signs provides balance and aesthetic appeal while communicating necessary information about tenants.

CALL TO ORDER 10:00 a.m. A. This meeting of the Architectural and Landscaping Committee was called to order at 10:10 a.m. by Planning Manager Christine di lorio who led the flag salute. B. Committee Members present: Bill Bobbitt, Dennis Cunningham, and Frank Reynolds. C. Staff present: Community Development Director Jerry Herman, Planning Manager Christine di lorio, Associate Planner Leslie Mouriquand, and Executive Secretary Betty Sawyer. IL PUBLIC COMMENT: None. III. CONFIRMATION OF THE AGENDA: Confirmed IV. CONSENT CALENDAR: A. Planning Manager Christine di lorio asked if there were any changes to the Minutes of July 5, 2000. There being no changes, it was moved and seconded by Committee Members Bobbitt/Reynolds to approve the Minutes as submitted. Unanimously approved. V. BUSINESS ITEMS: A. Commercial Property Improvement Program; a request of the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency regarding the duties of the ALRC in regard to the program. 1. Assistant City Manager Mark Weiss presented the information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development Department. 2. Committee Member Bobbit asked how much money is available for the entire program. Assistant City Manager Mark Weiss stated $150,000. Committee Member Bobbitt asked if the maximum is CAMy Documents\WPD0CS\ALRC8-2-00.wpd 1 Architectural & Landscape Review Committee Minutes August 2, 2000 $15,000 per application which would only allow ten projects. Staff stated that was correct. Committee Member Bobbitt asked if there were a set of guidelines that the applicants would need to meet in regard to landscaping and architecture. Community Development Director Jerry Herman stated yes, and they would be supplied to the ALRC. Committee Member Bobbitt asked if they were different from other City standards. Staff stated yes, they are design guidelines to enhance the zoning regulations for the Village which may in some instances, be more restrictive than other areas in the City. Committee Member Bobbitt stated that since the money available is not a tremendous amount, is the City looking for a theme for the Village, or is it whatever the owner wants to do to clean up the building. Planning Manager Christine di lorio stated it is a combination of both. 3. Assistant City Manager Mark Weiss went on to explain that if the applicant is not the owner, they will be required to obtain the property owner's permission. He went on to explain this was a program only available to commercial projects. 4. Committee Member Reynolds stated it is a valuable program and very needed. He asked if City property was exempt as he understood the Chamber who was leasing the building from the City was wanting to apply to upgrade the building but it was indicated to them that they are not eligible. Assistant City Manager Mark Weiss stated he cannot say that explicitly. For that to happen either the City would have to make the application or approve the application. It is possible the tenant could ask the City for permission to make application under this program. The City Council would then have to divert money that has been made available for this program to loan to themselves. The City can always make changes to the building as the owner of the building. The program was not designed to make money available to fix residential or municipal buildings; it was to facilitate the commercial enterprises. Committee Member Reynolds stated the City should lead by example. 5. Committee Member Cunningham stated he has no objections as the program does have merit. B. Village Use Permit 2000-003; a request of Coronel Enterprises, Inc., for approval of architectural and landscaping plans for multi -tenant general office building within the La Quinta Village to be located on the west side of Avenida Villa, south of Calle Tampico, north of Frances Hack Park. CAMy Documents\VN'PDOCSWLRC8-2-00.wpd 2 Architectural & Landscape Review Committee Minutes August 2, 2000 1. Associate Planner Leslie Mouriquand presented the information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development Department. 2. Mr. Zeke Coronel stated they wanted to do something nice and Spanish to fit in and address the issues raised by staff. 3. Committee Member Reynolds asked who would be improving the alley. Community Development Director Jerry Herman stated the alley is slated for improvement as part of the downtown improvements. 4. Mr. Skip Lench, architect for the project, asked that the City dictate the tree species, along the street to create a theme. 5. Committee Member Bobbitt asked what the purpose was for a two car garage. Mr. Coronel stated it was to meet the parking requirement and allow him space to store temporary equipment and/or material. Committee Member Bobbitt stated it appears the intent is that the owner will set up his residence in the building. This makes it an expensive garage which could be leased to another tenant. His concern was that it could attract parking of construction vehicles and such which could cause problems. Also, is this a zero lot line. Staff stated yes. Committee Member Bobbitt stated the wall needed a wainscoat or something to break up the plain wall. 6. Committee Member Bobbitt asked if the Commercial Property Improvement Program was available for new projects such as this. Staff stated no, only for rehabilitation of existing structures. 7. Committee Member Cunningham stated this area is a sensitive area and to match what is there is difficult because it is a "hodge podge" of style. The applicant needs to bring sensitivity without increasing the cost. He stated the railing detail and the precast column pieces are out of scale and scope and will be too much mass pulled in with a clipped roof. He suggested using some wrought iron with shape and depth on the stairwell and balcony. The windows should be individually pained and the entry door could also be decorative. He could use random tile and mud instead of the S-tile, but he understands the cost involved. Mr. CAMy Documents\V4'PDOCS\ALRC8-2-00.wpd 3 Architectural & Landscape Review Committee Minutes August 2, 2000 Lench stated the wrought iron is not a real increase of cost but the mudded roof tile is. Committee Member Cunningham stated random mudding does add texture and made a comparison -to the Von's Plaza architecture. He suggested using a smooth stucco which is less expensive and go with the mudded roof. Mr. Lench stated he could understand the use of the decorative wrought iron, but the mudded roof could be an issue. 8. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded Committee Members Cunningham/Bobbitt to adopt Minute Motion 2000-015 approving Village Use Permit 2000-003, as modified: 1. Prior to issuance of building permit add individual glass lights. 2. Replace the precast balusters with decorative wrought iron and specify the same for the staircase. C. Site Development Permit 2000-682; a request of Anthony and Wanda Matranga for approval of architectural and landscaping plans for the construction of a 15,500 square foot commercial building for a fitness center located within the La Quinta Corporate Centre. 1. Community Development Director Jerry Herman presented the information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development Department. 2. Committee Member Cunningham asked if the rear view was closed off to public view. Staff stated that was correct. Committee Member Cunningham stated that the use of the building in this area all ties in. He likes the window shading treatment and it is a nice design. 3. Committee Member Reynolds asked if staff knew what was going in on Pads 6 and 7. Staff stated no. Committee Member Reynolds stated his concerned about the closeness of the two buildings. Discussion followed regarding a possible treatment to the upper floor of the north elevation. It was suggested the applicant could use decorative expansion joints in the plaster to create a decorative grid pattern on the second story of the north elevation. C:\My Documents\WPDOCS\ALRC8-2-OO.wpd 4 Architectural & Landscape Review Committee Minutes August 2, 2000 4. Committee Member Cunningham asked what the material was to be used on the awnings. Staff stated it would be fixed metal. 5. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by Committee Member Cunningham/Bobbitt to adopt Minute Motion 2000-016 recommending approval of Site Development Permit 2000-682 as recommended by staff with the additional condition: 2. Decorative expansion joints in the plaster shall be added to create a decorative grid pattern on the second story of the north elevation. VI. CORRESPONDENCE AND WRITTEN MATERIAL: None VII. COMMITTEE MEMBER ITEMS: None VIII. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business, it was moved and seconded by Committee Members Cunningham/Bobbitt to adjourn this regular meeting of the Architectural and Landscaping Review Committee to the next regular meeting to be held on September 6, 2000. This meeting was adjourned at 10:58 a.m. on August 2, 2000. Respectfully submitted, BETTY J.

AMEND THE GENERAL PLAN POLICY 3-6.3.2 TO REQUIRE ARTERIAL STREETS TO HAVE SIDEWALKS ONLY ON ONE SIDE IF A MULTI- PURPOSE TRAIL IS REQUIRED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET. 2. AMEND THE ABOVE NOTED SPECIFIC PLANS AND TRACTS TO ELIMINATE THE REQUIRED SIDEWALK ON THE EAST SIDE OF MADISON STREET. LOCATION: EAST SIDE OF MADISON STREET, NORTH OF AIRPORT BOULEVARD TO 58T" AVENUE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION: THE LA QUINTA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT THIS REQUEST IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT, PURSUANT TO SECTION 15304, CLASS 4(C). THEREFORE, NO ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW OF THIS REQUEST IS NEEDED. GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION: LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (2-4 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE) SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION: LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (2-4 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE) ZONING: RL (LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL) P:\stan\pc rpt gpa 2000-069 et al ksl.wpd BACKGROUND: General Plan Policy 3-6.3.2 requires all arterial and collector streets have improved sidewalks within the public right -of way on both sides of the street to encourage walking as a mode of transportation and recreation. General Plan Policy 3-6.4.1 requires a multi -purpose trail system for the eastern portion of the City. The General Plan Parks and Recreation Policy Diagram specifies the multi- purpose trail on the east side of Madison Street in this area. The property involved is the expansion area of PGA West on the east side of Madison Street, between the Norman Course (north of Airport Boulevard) to 58th Avenue (Attachment 1). This request pertains to the sidewalk between the perimeter wall and street curb. The specific plans and tracts noted above are conditioned to install a sidewalk and separate multi -purpose trail on the east side of Madison Street. On the east side of Madison Street, partial parkway improvements have been installed to date. Starting from the north (Norman Course), only the perimeter wall for the Norman Course has been installed to Airport Boulevard. On the south side of Airport Boulevard, adjacent to the Nicklaus Resort Course, the wall, sidewalk, multi -purpose trail, and landscaping has been installed. No improvements have yet been installed adjacent to the Weiskopf Course at the south end. A sidewalk exists on the west side of Madison Street adjacent to the developed areas of PGA West. Specific Plan 90-015 also includes a revision in design to the golf maintenance facility (Attachment 2). Site Development Permit 99-653, Amendment #1, for this revision is being considered on this agenda as a separate item. PROJECT PROPOSAL: In summary, the intent of the request is to eliminate the sidewalk on the east side of Madison Street, leaving only the multi -purpose trail. The request to eliminate the sidewalk on the east side of Madison Street requires an amendment to the General Plan modifying Policy 3-6.3.2 to state that the sidewalk is not necessary when a multi -purpose trail is required by the General Plan Parks and Recreation Policy Diagram and a sidewalk exists or will be provided on the opposite side of the street. Specific Plan 90-015 has been revised to reflect the proposed change in design and is on this agenda as Site Development Permit 90-015, Amendment #1.

LOCATION: NORTHWEST CORNER OF TIBURON DRIVE AND AIRPORT BOULEVARD WITHIN THE NORMAN COURSE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION: AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EA 90-159 FOR SP 90-015) WAS CERTIFIED ON DECEMBER 3, 1991, BY THE CITY COUNCIL. AN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ADDENDUM TO THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT WAS COMPLETED FOR AMENDMENT #1 WHICH WAS APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL ON DECEMBER 1, 1998. NO CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES OR CONDITIONS EXIST WHICH WOULD TRIGGER THE PREPARATION OF A SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT OR ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PURSUANT TO PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE 21166. GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION: LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (2-4 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE) SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION: LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (2-4 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE) ZONING: RL (LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL) P:\stan\pc rpt sdp 99-653 am #1 ksl.wpd BACKGROUND: The property involved is the expansion area of PGA West on the east side of Madison Street and within the Norman Course (Attachment 1). The Norman Course consists of an 18 hole golf course, club house, future golf maintenance facility and approximately 290 future single family residences. Currently, an golf cart tunnel is being constructed under Madison Street at the west end of the project. The maintenance facility is located at the northwest corner of Tiburon Drive and Airport Boulevard which is an entry into the project. This Site Development Permit was originally approved by the Planning Commission on August 24, 1999, subject to conditions. That approval included a 8,054 square foot one story maintenance building and adjacent covered patio area (Attachment 2). That 19'-4" high building was designed in a Australian territorial style similar to the existing clubhouse and was highlighted by a low sloped, Dutch -gabled roof with dormer accents and wide overhangs around the building. Exterior materials consisted of rough sawn horizontal siding, natural stone wainscot and pilasters, wood trim, and a "copper penny" colored standing seam metal roof. The inside facing elevation included exterior plaster walls and metal roof -up doors. The "L" shaped building was located at the southeast corner of the site and placed adjacent to the perimeter street property lines. This Site Development Permit also originally included the clubhouse which has already been constructed. PROJECT PROPOSAL: This amendment request was originally heard and continued in December, 1999, and continued again in January, 2000, when the applicant decided to revise the proposal and also was required to file for a amendment to Specific Plan 90-015. The redesign of the maintenance building now consists of a 14 foot high one story prefabricated building with approximately 4,800 square feet of floor area (Attachment 3). A covered area of approximately 5,400 square feet is proposed at the west end of the building for outdoor storage with a 1,600 square foot employee patio at the east end. The overall dimensions of the structure are 40' x 295'. The rectangular structure runs in a east -west direction with the long side along Airport Boulevard and is located near the southeast corner of the site, approximately 15 feet from the proposed street perimeter walls on Airport Boulevard and Tiburon Drive. The prefabricated building has a very low pitched standing .seam metal roof which is nearly flat and plaster coated vertical panel walls. The walls will be beige in color with some brown trim and a painted warm reddish brown roof similar in color to the clubhouse roof. P:\stan\pc rpt sdp 99-653 am #1 ksl.wpd The applicant states in the Specific Plan text that, "the proposed facility is designed to be residential in scale and envisioned as an understated, low profile building sited to minimize visual impact from adjacent views." Based on the approved grading plans, the top of the proposed structure will vary from approximately 5.6 to 14.3 feet above the top of the adjacent perimeter wall along Airport Boulevard. The finish floor of the structure will vary from approximately 1.9 to 3.1 feet higher than the top of curb on Airport Boulevard. The remaining functions in the yard area generally remain similar to the original plan. 40 parking spaces are provided, an increase of 14 spaces over the original plan. A seven foot high wall is provided on the inside of the Tiburon Drive entry to screen the view of the maintenance area. A secondary/delivery entry remains on Airport Boulevard, near the west end of the site. PUBLIC NOTICE: This case was advertised in the Desert Sun on August 12, 2000. All property owners within 500 feet of the boundaries of the affected area were mailed a copy of the public hearing notice. To date, no correspondence has been received. STAFF COMMENTS: The original maintenance building matched the clubhouse architecture and materials and was placed to be seen from the Airport Boulevard entry. The revised plans change the design to a typical prefabricated structure. This change is acceptable provided the building is not visible to the public view from off -site streets. REQUIRED FINDINGS: The Findings necessary for approval of this request can be made as noted in the attached resolution approving this request provided the perimeter landscaping adjacent to Airport Boulevard in front of the building is planted heavily to screen its visibility to the street. Because a portion of the structure will be visible over the perimeter wall, it is mandatory that specimen canopy trees be planted to insure that the maintenance building is not visible from Airport Boulevard and surrounding off -site properties. Condition # 28 recommends that an addendum landscaping plan for the perimeter area in front of the building be submitted to Staff for approval prior to issuance of the permit to install the building.

MAURY MORTENSEN KSL Desert Resorts will be hosting the 101h Annual Mariachi Festival on Saturday, September 2"d and Sunday, September 3`d , 2000, located at the La Quinta Resort and Club, and the PGA West Tennis and Fitness Center, respectively. The Saturday event will occur in the Plaza area and Fiesta Ballroom, around the Hotel entry. Overflow event parking will be provided at the KSL employee parking area at 50th and Eisenhower, in conjunction with TUP 2000-055, which is also under review at this meeting. The Sunday event will be held at the PGA West Private Tennis and Fitness Center, with parking to be provided at the existing spaces for the Center and the KSL Corporate Offices, as well as the dirt lot to the east of the KSL offices. Review of a Temporary Use Permit by the Planning Commission is required in commercial zones, when 300 or more persons will be attending or involved with a special event. EVENT ISSUES: 1. Parking - KSL proposes to utilize their 272 space employee parking lot at 50th and Eisenhower for potential overflow parking associated with the event on Saturday only. The Sunday event will be held at PGA West and therefore will not impact parking at the Resort. The issue stems from KSL's placement of a meal tent for a separate event in the Las Flores parking area along Fernando (being reviewed at tonight's meeting under TUP 2000-255). While the tent is scheduled to be removed on Saturday, it is expected that there may be some overlap on September 2"d during tear down of the tent. The Mariachi Festival parking plan is adequate, as KSL has outlined provisions for traffic and directional control, with the event operationally the same as last year. 2. Lighting - KSL proposes to illuminate all proposed parking areas, as identified previously in this report. This lighting will be accomplished with portable towers located at various locations in and around the parking areas. Staff does not have a concern with regard to this temporary lighting, as a condition has been recommended to require proper direction of lighting toward parking areas and away from any surrounding residential properties and bordering roadways. 3. Operational - Details of the event were circulated to appropriate agencies for comment. Attachment 1 consists of the transmittal and the information submitted by the applicant. The event will be conducted in the same manner as has been done in prior years. With incorporation of the attached conditions of approval as recommended, staff has no additional issues with this use permit.

The event will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the community in the area of the proposed event. Specific conditions have been imposed on the approval for TUP 2000-256, which supplement the use of appropriate existing facilities for the event and ensure that any potential impacts to surrounding areas are limited to minimal temporary inconvenience. 2. There is adequate area in which to conduct the event and accommodate the anticipated attendance. Roth the La Quinta Resort and Club, and PGA West Tennis Center maintain large-scale resort quality facilities, which have been designed and constructed to accommodate large convention and similar events. 3. Sufficient parking will be provided for the event. KSL owns and operates a 272-space off -site parking lot, which can accommodate the overflow potential associated with this event. Existing parking stalls at the event facilities will accommodate the anticipated attendance for this event, which is being held during a non -seasonal period. 4. Food service operations, medical facilities, solid waste facilities, sewage disposal methods and potable water service have been provided.

We are preparing for the 10th Annual Mariachi Festival for the Labor Day Weekend. The festival begins at La Quinta Resort & Club on Saturday, September 2nd and runs from noon until 10pm. The Saturday event will be centered around The Plaza area and Fiesta Ballroom. There will be strolling musicians with Mariachi in the Fiesta Ballroom. Event parking may overflow in to the parking lot across from the Santa Rosa Cove Mazatlan security gate. We will hire three uniformed Riverside County Sheriff Deputies to direct (and restrict traffic) at the Fernando entrance to the hotel, the main entry drive of the hotel and the corner of Avenue 50 & Eisen- hower. The overflow parking lot will have delineators to show ingress and egress and hightower lights will be provided for safety after dark. The lights will be directed away from the homeowners of the La Quinta Countryclub, Duna La Quinta and the Santa Rosa Cove communities. La Quinta Resort security will patrol the event at the hotel and the overflow parking area. A shuttle service will pickup attendees from the off -site parking location and transport them to the hotel, and visa versa. On Sunday, September 3rd, the Mariachi Festival will be in full swing at the PGA West Private Tennis/Fitness area. As we did last year, Sheriffs Deputies will be at the event, fifteen contracted security officers for perimeter control and fifteen KSL Desert Resort loss prevention officers providing ingress/egress to the event, first respond- er first aid, parking and other requests the city may have by way of the temporary use permit. Parking here will include handicap parking near the front of the fitness center, parking stalls for residents using golf carts, VIP parking, employee parking (for those working this event) and PGA West Member parking at the PGA West private parking lot. Across the street, general admission parking in the lot fronting the KSL Recreation Corporate parking lot and the dirt lot between the Corporate offices and PGA West Resort Clubhouse. All park- ing areas will be lit with high tower lights (directed away from the homeowners). As in the past, we anticipate a fun time for all participants with no issues of crime or injury. If you have any other questions in regards to our planned events, please let me know. When I receive a copy of the Temporary Use Permit and it's conditions, I will submit further details to the Fire Prevention Office (Walter Brandes, Fire Marshal) and the cities building department (bleacher construction and electrical needs). Enclosed too is a copy of the KSL Desert Resorts "Additionally Insured" form you have requested in the past. The City of La Quinta did not release the $9,000 bond we placed with the City several years ago to hold against the "repair" of undeveloped surfaces to overflow parking, so this should not be an issue. We would like to get this back at the end of this event though, this year. We look forward to providing another professional event which benefits the local charities and spirit of the com- munity. Greg, please let me know what 1 can do to assist you in the pre -event planning of this event.

The tent will be in place from August 26th to September 3`d, 2000, and will be sized to accommodate approximately 500 guests at any one time. The 10,000 s.f. tent will be set up in the northerly Las Flores parking area. Overflow parking will be provided at the KSL employee parking area at 50th and Eisenhower. The employee parking area will also be in use on September 2nd for the Mariachi Festival, which is also under review at this meeting. Review of a Temporary Use Permit by the Planning Commission is required in commercial zones, when 300 or more persons will be attending or involved with a special event, EVENT ISSUES: 1. Parking - KSL proposes using their 272 space employee parking lot at 50th and Eisenhower to make up for an 85 space reduction in their on -site parking at the Las Flores facility, due to placement of the meal tent. Hotel shuttle vans will be used to transport conference attendees between the tent and the employee lot. In addition, the Mariachi Festival will be held at the resort on September 2n1, and will also use the employee lot off of Eisenhower (this request is being reviewed at tonight's meeting under TUP 2000-256). This means that on September 2nd, both events will be relying on the employee parking area, and the concern is that this may cause a parking and/or traffic problem. The applicant has submitted a written explanation to address this concern (Attachment 2). While the application states that the event will occur from August 261h to September 3`d, 2000, equipment removal actually occurs on September 2nd and 3'd. This indicates that there should only be a brief window of overlap while the tent and associated equipment is being removed. KSL has indicated that the employee parking can accommodate the overflow of cars from both events if needed. 2. Lighting - KSL has already planned to illuminate the Eisenhower employee lot in conjunction with the Mariachi festival. The use of the employee lot that can be attributed to set up of the meal tent will not require lighting, as the dinner meal periods will likely end just after dark and there should be few diners remaining by that time. Lighting for the meal tent will be internal, and should not create a significant impact to surrounding properties. A condition has been recommended to require proper direction of lighting away from any surrounding residential properties and bordering roadways, as well as to be turned off no later than 10:00 PM. 3. Operational Considerations - The site plan exhibit for the tent shows a generator and chiller unit in close proximity to the properties on the north side of Fernando. A condition has been included to either relocate this equipment to the southerly side of the tent, where there is more room to allow separation from the retail/office uses at the south end of the Las Flores lot, or provide sound mitigation for the northerly properties. It also requires these units to be shut down by 10:00 PM each night. 76 U Findings for approval of Temporary Use Permit 2000-255 can be found with the attached approval conditions. •111.1_�r Adopt Minute Motion No. , approving Temporary Use Permit 2000-255 subject to compliance with the Conditions of Approval as recommended by Staff.

RL-SORT & CLUB August 18.2000 Mr- Wally Nesbit City of La Quints 78-495 Calle Tampico La Quinta, CA 92253 Dear Mr. Nesbit, ATTACHMENT 2 Thank you for your Interest In ensuring that our Mariachl Event Saturday, September 2, 2000 will have adequate and available parking for guests, employees and the community - I think what caught your attention was the tent that will be erected fronting the Flores Ballroom. This tent is for a separate group and has nothing to do with the Madachi Event Saturday evening. The majority of the attendees for this group will have departed on Saturday afternoon. We know that with the arectlon of the tent, we will lose approximately 90 parking stalls. We had already planned on using our dirt lot at the cross streets of 50th Avenue & Eisenhower. We have order- ed more hightower lights than last year to further extend the size of the parking lot. We have scheduled a .shuttle service which will transport Mariachi visitors from the off -site lot to the hotel. Security Officers will be posted at strategic locations on site to ensure registered guests have parking and that adequate numbers of handicap parking spaces are available for disabled guests. We have contracted three Riverside County Sheriffs deputies to assist with traffic into the Resort. One officer each will be posted to keep traffic moving, one at Fernando, one at the Resort entrance and one officer at Ave 50 & Eisenhower. This has been the same gameplan used over the last four years (which has worked very well). Mr Nesbit, thank you for your concern over this issue. Bottom -line, g0 visitors to the event will be displaced to the dirt lot where public transportation is available, the lot will be lit and patrolled by officers and securlty- I am including a copy of the cover sheet for t-awnet, Inc the group we have in house; the room block clearly shows the decreasing occupancy leading to the Saturday event.

Ramire Iu Assistant City A orney DATE: August 14, 2000 FILE NO.: 048170-0001 RE: Special Campaign Contribution Restrictions Involving Appointed Officers (Government Code section 84308) In light of the upcoming campaign season, the purpose of this memorandum is to provide background on Government Code section 84308, which imposes specific campaign contribution restrictions upon commissioners and other appointed City officers involved in certain types of proceedings relating to licenses, permits and other entitlements for use. Government Code section 84308 was enacted in 1982 as an amendment to the Political Reform Act of 1974, and the statutory provisions are defined and described in greater detail in the FPPC Regulatory Guidelines, promulgated at 2 CCR 18438.1, et seq. (referred to herein as the "FPPC section TT). A copy of Government Code section 84308 and the relevant FPPC Guidelines are attached to this memorandum. The Basic Requirements of Government Code Section 84308 In summary, Government Code section 84308 provides the following: • The restrictions and requirements apply to proceedings relating to "licenses, permits and entitlements for use" pending before the City and any governmental agency on which a City official serves as an appointed officer or member. 131 /048170-0044 96717.01 a08/14/00 RUTAN &TUCKER TTORNEYS AT LAW City of La Quinta Planning Commissioners August 14, 2000 Page 2 A "Covered Official" may not receive or solicit campaign contributions, on behalf of himself or herself, or any other person or committee, of more than $250 from any "party" or other "financially interested person" during the pendency of a proceeding relating to a license, permit or entitlement for use, and for three months after the conclusion of that proceeding. Further, no party to a proceeding involving a license, permit or other entitlement for use may make contributions totaling more than $250 to any Covered Official while the proceeding is pending, and for three months following the date of decision in that proceeding. A Covered Official may not participate in or attempt to influence any governmental decision in a proceeding involving a license, permit or entitlement for use if the Covered Official received contributions of more than $250 during the previous 12 months from a party or a person who is financially interested in the outcome of the proceeding. • When a proceeding for a license, permit or other entitlement for use is pending, both the Covered Officials and any party to the proceeding must disclose any contributions received or made within the preceding 12 months. Persons Covered By Government Code Section 84308 Government Code section 84308 applies to two types of individuals described in this memorandum as "Covered Officials" and "Interested Persons." Covered Officials include both appointed City officers (e.g., city manager, city clerk) and persons appointed as members of City commissions or bodies (e.g., Planning Commission, Community Services Commission, Transportation and Infrastructure Commission, Investment Committee). Notably, the term "Covered Official" does not include members of the City Council when acting in their capacity as City Council Members (due to the fact that they are acting as elected officials). However, City Council Members come within the scope of section 84308 as "Covered Officials" when they sit as appointed members of other boards or bodies (e.g., Riverside County Transportation Agencies, Sanitation Districts, etc.). The term "Interested Persons" refers to persons who are financially interested in the outcome of specified proceedings. Interested Persons generally include both "Parties" and "Participants." Parties comprise of the applicants for licenses, permits or other entitlements for use, and are presumed to be financially interested in the outcome of the proceeding. Participants include persons or entities that both (1) have acted to influence a decision with regard to a "license, permit or other entitlement for use" through direct contacts with officials or their staffs, or the submission of written or verbal testimony in support of or opposition to a particular decision in such a proceeding; and (2) foreseeably would be materially financially affected by the outcome of the decision in accordance with the general conflict of interest rules under the 131/048170-0044 96717.01 a08/14/00 RUTAN 3 TUCKERS T TOR N E Y S AT LAW City of La Quinta Planning Commissioners August 14, 2000 Page 3 Political Reform Act. Persons who act as agents of either parties or participants are subject to the same prohibitions and requirements as their principals. Proceedings Covered By Government Code Section 84308 Government Code section 84308 covers proceedings involving a "license, permit or other entitlement for use." This term is defined in section 84308(a)(5) as including "all business, professional, trade and land use licenses and permits, and all other entitlements for use, including all entitlements for land use, all contracts (other than competitively bid, labor or personal employment contracts), and all franchises." FPPC section 18438.2 provides that the term includes any proceeding to grant, deny, revoke, restrict, or modify any license, permit or other use entitlement, so long as the decision is not purely ministerial. Required Disclosure Under Government Code Section 84308 Under Government Code section 84308(d), at the time a party initiates a proceeding for a license, permit or other use entitlement, the party must disclose, on the record, all Covered Officials to whom the party or his or her agents made contributions aggregating more than $250 during the previous 12 months. Similarly, section 84308(c) provides that a Covered Official must disclose at the beginning of the public hearing on the proceeding any party or financially interested participant who has contributed more than an aggregate $250 during the previous 12 months. Under FPPC section 18438.8, disclosures by parties should be incorporated into the written record of the proceeding, while disclosures by Covered Officials should be made verbally at the beginning of the public hearing on the proceeding or, if there is no public hearing, be included in the written record of the proceeding. Prohibition On Contributions Under Government Code Section 84308 Government Code section 84308(b) provides that no Covered Official may accept, solicit or direct a contribution of more than $250 from any party or financially interested participant, or the agent of any party or financially interested participant, while a proceeding involving a license, permit or other entitlement for use is pending before the Covered Official's body, and for three months following the date a final decision is rendered in the proceeding. This prohibition applies regardless of whether the Covered Official accepts, solicits or directs the contribution for himself or herself, or on behalf of any other officer, or on behalf of any candidate for office or any committee. This prohibition also applies regardless of whether the Covered Official actually participates in the decision. Required Disqualification Under Government Code Section 84308 Under Government Code section 84308(c), no Covered Official shall make, participate in making or in any way attempt to use his or her official position to influence the decision in a proceeding involving a license, permit or other entitlement for use pending before the Covered 131/048170-0044 96717.01 a08/14/00 RUTAN �,TUCKERI T TORN E Y S AT LAW City of La Quinta Planning Commissioners August 14, 2000 Page 4 Official's body, if the Covered Official has willfully or knowingly received contributions aggregating more than $250 within the preceding 12 months from a party or a financially interested participant, or the party's or financially interested participant's agents. If the Covered Official returns the contribution (or that portion of the contribution that exceeds $250) within 30 days from the date that he or she knows or has reason to know of the contribution and the proceedings, no disqualification is required. Example: Planning Commissioner A desires to hold a fundraiser in support of a councilmember who is running for office in November. To this end, Planning Commissioner A sends invitations to hundreds of people, including an invitation to a developer who currently has a project pending before the Planning Commission. The invitation to the fundraiser solicits contributions of $500 per person. Because Planning Commissioner A, in this fact scenario, solicited a contribution of more than $250 from a party interested in an entitlement for use pending before the Commission, Planning Commissioner A would be deemed to have violated the Political Reform Act and is subject to potential fines and other penalties. Example: Planning Commissioner B desires to run for the City Council in November, 2000. To this end, the Planning Commissioner holds a fundraiser in support of his candidacy and receives contributions from persons who attended the event in excess of $250 per person. Two months later, the Planning Commissioner decides to abandon his candidacy for the City Council. The following month, a developer appears before the Planning Commission concerning a development application. This developer contributed more than $250 to Planning Commissioner B's now terminated council race (within the previous twelve months). Under section 84308, this Planning Commissioner must disclose on the record that he has received contributions from the Developer of greater than $250 and must also disqualify himself from participating in any way in the decision on the developer's application. I hope that this summary of Government Code section 84308, and the implementing guidelines at 2 CCR 18438.1, et seq., assist you in interpreting this rather complex statutory requirement and restriction. As always, should you have any question regarding this or any other legal matter, please do not hesitate to call me at your convenience. Attachments cc: Thomas P. Genovese, City Manager M.

Commingling with Personal Funds. No contribution shall be commingled with the personal funds of the recipient or any other person. History: Added by Stats. 1979, Ch. 779. References at the time of publication (see page 3): Enforcement Decisions: Andres Mendez 83/15 (1984) § 84308. Contributions to Members of Appointed Boards or Commissions; Disqualification. (a) The definitions set forth in this subdivision shall govern the interpretation of this section. (1) "Party" means any person who files an application for, or is the subject of, a proceeding involving a license, permit, or other entitlement for use. (2) "Participant" means any person who is not a party but who actively supports or opposes a particular decision in a proceeding involving a license, permit, or other entitlement for use and who has a financial interest in the decision, as described in Article 1 (commencing with Section 87100) of Chapter 7. A person actively supports or opposes a particular decision in a proceeding if he or she lobbies in person the officers or employees of the agency, testifies in person before the agency, or otherwise acts to influence officers of the agency. (3) "Agency" means an agency as defined in Section 82003 except that it does not include the courts or any agency in the judicial branch of government, local governmental agencies whose members are directly elected by the voters, the Legislature, the Board of Equalization, or constitutional officers. However, this section applies to any person who is a member of an exempted agency but is acting as a voting member of another agency. (4) "Officer" means any elected or appointed officer of an agency, any alternate to an elected or appointed officer of an agency, and any candidate for elective office in an agency. (5) "License, permit, or other entitlement for use" means all business, professional, trade and land use licenses and permits and all other entitlements for use, including all entitlements for land use, all 58 contracts (other than competitively bid, labor, or personal employment contracts), and all franchises. (6) "Contribution" includes contributions to candidates and committees in federal, state, or local elections. (b) No officer of an agency shall accept, solicit, or direct a contribution of more than two hundred fifty dollars ($250) from any party, or his or her agent, or from any participant, or his or her agent, while a proceeding involving a license, permit, or other entitlement for use is pending before the agency and for three months following the date a final decision is rendered in the proceeding if the officer knows or has reason to know that the participant hits a financial interest, as that term is used in Article 1 (commencing with Section 87100) of Chapter 7. This prohibition shall apply regardless of whether the officer accepts, solicits, or directs the contribution for himself or herself, or on behalf of any other officer, or on behalf of any candidate for office or on behalf of any committee. (c) Prior to rendering any decision in a proceeding involving a license, permit or other entitlement for use pending before an agency, each officer of the agency who received a contribution within the preceding 12 months in an amount of more than two hundred fifty dollars ($250) from a party or from any participant shall disclose that fact on the record of the proceeding. No officer of an agency shall make, participate in making, or in any way attempt to use his or her official position to influence the decision in a proceeding involving a license, permit, or other entitlement for use pending before the agency if the officer has willfully or knowingly received a contribution in an amount of more than two hundred fifty dollars ($250) within the preceding 12 months from a party or his or her agent, or from any participant, or his or her agent if the officer knows or has reason to know that the participant has a financial interest in the decision, as that term 'is described with respect to public officials in Article 1 (commencing with Section 87100) of Chapter 7. If an officer receives a contribution which would otherwise require disqualification under this section, returns the contribution within 30 days from the time he or she knows, or should have known, about the contribution and the proceeding involving a license, permit, or other entitlement for use, he or she shall be permitted to participate in the proceeding. (d) A party to a proceeding before an agency involving a license, permit, or other entitlement for use shall disclose on the record of the proceeding any contribution in an amount of more than two hundred fifty dollars ($250) made within the preceding 12 months by the party, or his or her agent, to any officer of the agency. No party, or his or her agent, to a proceeding involving a license, permit, or other entitlement for use pending before any agency and no participant, or his or her agent, in the proceeding shall make a contribution of more than two hundred fifty dollars ($250) to any officer of that agency during the proceeding and for three months following the date a final decision is rendered by the agency in the proceeding. When a closed corporation is a party to, or a participant in, a proceeding involving a license, permit, or other entitlement for use pending before an agency, the majority shareholder is subject to the disclosure and prohibition requirements specified in subdivisions (b), (c), and this subdivision. (e) Nothing in this section shall be construed to imply that any contribution subject to being reported under this title shall not be so reported.

While some two million people left Caiiiornia in the last decade, the state saw an astounding net population growth in excess of three million. The rest of the nation is not far behind. Overpopulation's impact —on California, the nation, and the world —is becoming stronger and more devastating every day. This overpopulation threatens everything from the quality and quantity of our water supply, the affordability of our food and housing, to species preservation, transportation, government, commerce and education. That is why Californians for Population Stabilization (CAPS) is sponsoring CAPS2000, Waking from the Dream: Population and the Environment at the Millennial ]Edge, taking place the weekend preceding the Democratic National Convention. With more than 10,000 members of the national and global press converging on Los Angeles that weekend, CAPS2000 presents enormous opportunity to impress upon the world the necessity of stabilizing our population and enhancing quality of life for all. CAPS2000 is a guaranteed "Who's Who" and "What's What" of population and the environment. You will hear speakers including renowned environmental visionaries David Brower, Martin Litton, and Earth Day founder Senator Gaylord Nelson. Schoiars from preeminent universities, political representatives, and foremost leaders of numerous environmental groups will also be speaking at CAPS2000. But it will not be all serious. Photographs (from Farewell Promised Land by celebrated photographer Robert Dawson will be displayed. For evening entertainment, we will have a screening of Soylent Green followed by a lively discussion with Chariton Heston, Leigh Taylor Young and others. You are most cordially invited to CAPS2000. Please take a moment to review the enclosed information. Your commitment and passion to this and other vital issues being _ addressi, at. this conference will add so much to our event. Sre Elliott ' Executive Director P.S. Please make your arrangements early and join us in focusing the world's attention on the critical environmental and population issues facing us all. See you in August! Your registration fee is complimentary. Your meals, however, are not -$50 each for Saturday dinner and Sunday lunch. Call us if you have questions! Walking Fro*m the Dream: Population and at the Millenniall Edge CAPS 2000 Conference Set for August 12 and 13 at USC at are you doing August 12 and 13, 2000? If you don't want to miss the millennium's first "can't miss" event, i'II be at the University of Southern California's prestigious Davidson iference Center for CAPS 2000—a guaranteed "who's who" and "what's at' of population and the environment! Titled "Waking From the Dream: Population and the Environment the Millennial Edge," the CAPS 2000 Conference will be held in Los ieles the weekend immediately oreceding the Cemocratic National ivention. Registration begins at 10 a.m. Saturday. The opening session of the iference starts at 1 p.m. "CAPS 2000 will be an exciting event, with real potential to put pop- hon and immigration issues bac< on the agenda as we head into the nation- )lections ' promises CAPS Executive Directo" Danielle Elliott. "The timing is cial. More than 10,000 members of the nationa and international media will verge on Los Angeles that weekend prior to the Democratic convention. In absence of any contest for the Presidential nomination, reporters will be for new angles and issues to cover. CAPS' conference will provide them h information from impeccable academics, ideas from environmental vision- s, and innovative proposals from new activists." The conference will feature presentations and seminars on popula- r growth, consumption, fertility, ad immigration. This balanced package will ke it clear that CAPS 2000 is an environmental conference with environmen- concerns. Elliott explains. It will be impossible to ignore it as ano-her anti -immigration rally." says. "Yet it will also be clear that immigration is a key issue and there is a mg environmental voice calling for reductions." And along with providing valuable information to media, opinion- fers, and activists on the need for change and how to implement it, CAPS 10 also will be fun! A screening of "Soylent Green" —the 1973 sci-fi cult classic about )verpopulation-induced eco-catastrophe that stars Charlton Heston and )h Taylor -Young —is scheduled for Saturday night. Heston, Taylo-Young, Director Richard Fleischer, and others will participate in a panel discussion fol- lowing the screening. And the conference will close with CAPS' own version of the infamous "Raspberry Awards," bringing attention not to the worst films of the year, but the worst population growth offenders. Subiect to availability, Bill Maher of "Politically Incorrect," will host the awards. "CAPS 2000 provides us a tremendous opportunity," Elliott says. "Initially, we had planned a much smaller event, a one -day affair. However, the interest and enthusiasm of the potential participants we contacted was so grez that we expanded the event. CAPS has gone forward even without secure fund ing because so many of these luminaries thought that the timing was crucial." If you can't make it, you can still participate by donating money for the event. To experience the excitement first-hand, simply fill out the CAPS 2000 Registration Form on page 4.
