MEMORANDUM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING
COMMISSION
FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
DATE: SEPTEMBER 26, 1995
SUBJECT: LA QUINTA ZONING ORDINANCE UPDATE
BACKGROUND:
The last Zoning Ordinance Update review occurred on August 8, 1995. At that time, staff presented
the Village Zoning Chapter for review.
Enclosed is draft Chapter 9.145 which pertains to Landscape Maintenance Operations. This is a
new Chapter to the Ordinance which deals with Leaf Blower Use and Golf Course Landscaping
Operation.
Section 9.50.050 and 9.90.010 pertaining to Maximum Building Heights for Residential and Non -
Residential Development is attached. Originally, the consultant had suggested an envelope type of
height measurement. The Planning Commission indicated a desire to have a mean point measure
for building heights. The consultant has indicated that he feels that in cases of slope sites this may
not be desirable. Therefore, these sections are attached for further review.
We have also attached Section 9.150.080 (Parking Regulations) with regards to the drive-thru
facilities requirements. The Ordinance presently allows deviating from these development standards
as approved by the Planning Commission. Staff feels that standards should be maintained.
Attached are Chapter 9.30 through 9.50, 9.60, and 9.80 through 9.100. These are Chapters which
the Planning Commission requested revisions. Please review to determine whether the revisions are
acceptable. The revisions are either highlighted, bracketed, or circled. Additionally, there may be
hand written revisions which staff feels should be reviewed.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the submitted Zoning Ordinance Update
Chapters and determine acceptability.

shall not encroach into required side setbacks.
9.50.080 Irregular Lots.
A. Purpose. Setback distances established for residential districts are based on rectangular lots.
Nonrectangular lots, lots with three sides or more than four sides, and other nonstandard lots require
special measurement techniques in order to achieve the purpose of setback requirements, i.e. the
appropriate separation of structures from streets and other properties. The purpose of this Subsection
is to provide standards for the establishment and measurement of setbacks on irregular lots. (See
Chapter ... for definition. of lot lines.)
B. Front Setbacks. Front yard
setbacks shall be measured from the
ultimate street right-of-way line.
C. Rear Setbacks. In the case of an
irregularly shaped lot, a ten foot line
which is within the lot and parallel to and
most distant from the front lot line shall
be considered the rear lot line for
purposes of determining required
setbacks and for interpretation of other
provisions of this Code.
D. Side Setbacks. All lot lines which
are not front or rear lot lines shall be
considered side lot lines for the purpose
of measuring setbacks.

but not limited to, a reduction in setback and square footage requirements and in the ratio
of vehicular parking spaces that would otherwise be required.
b. Approval of mixed -use development in conjunction with a multi -family residential project
if commercial, office, industrial or other land uses will reduce the cost of the housing
development and if the project will be compatible internally as well as with the existing or
planned development in the area where the proposed project will be located.
c. Other regulatory incentives or concessions proposed by the developer or the City which
result in identifiable cost reductions.
D. Procedures. The procedures for implementing this Section shall be as follows:
Notification to Developer. The City shall, within 90 days of receipt of a written proposal to

the site development standards specified in the permit shall supersede the otherwise applicable
development and other standards set forth for residential projects in this Chapter.
5. Agreement to Ensure Affordability. Prior to the issuance of a building permit for any dwelling
unit in a development for which "density bonus units" have been awarded or incentives been
given, the developer shall submit documentation which identifies the affordable units and shall
enter into a written agreement with the City to guarantee their continued use by and availability
for low and moderate -income households for 30 years. The agreement shall extend for more
than 30 years if required by the construction or mortgage financing assistance program,
mortgage insurance program, or rental subsidy program. The terms and conditions of the
agreement shall run with the land, shall be binding upon all successors in interest of the
developer, and shall be recorded in the Office of the Riverside County Recorder. The
agreement and other project documents shall also include the following provisions:
a. The developer shall grant the City the continuing right of first refusal to purchase or lease
any or all of the designated units at fair market value;

as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code or 15 percent to lower income
households as defined in Section 50079.5 of the Health and Safety Code and agrees to pay the x
reasonably necessary administrative costs incurred by the City in the processing of the
conversion, the City may, through approval of a conditional use permit, either: (a) grant a

in this Section shall be construed to require the City to approve a proposal to convert
apartments to condominiums.
2. ,Equivalent Financial Value. For purposes of this Section "other incentives of equivalent
financial value" shall not be construed to require the City to provide cash transfer payments
or other monetary compensation but may include the reduction or waiver of requirements
which the City might otherwise apply as conditions of conversion approval under the
procedures of Section ... of this Code.
3. Conditions of Approval. The City may place such reasonable conditions on the granting of a
density bonus or other incentives of equivalent financial value as it finds appropriate
4. Ineligiblity. An applicant shall be ineligible for a density bonus or other incentives under this

a density bonus or other incentives were provided under Subsections B and C of this Section.
5. Procedures. Procedures for review of condominium conversions with affordable units shall be
as set forth in Section ... as well as Subsection D of this Section.
9.60.270 Timeshare Regulations.
A. Purpose. The City Council finds that timeshare facilities constitute a commercial hotel use.
Due to the mixed method of operation, hybrid ownership, the potential generation of large numbers of
people and vehicles, and the potential impact on the tourism -related facilities in the City, special
development criteria are warranted. Also, this Section is intended to establish criteria by which
timeshare facilities will function as hotels/motels. Any conversion of an existing facility to timeshare
use will be required to meet the same standards as new facilities.
B. Definitions. For purposes of this Section, the following definitions shall apply:
1. "Timeshare facility" means a facility in which a person receives the right in perpetuity, for life
or for a specific period of time, to the recurrent, exclusive use or occupancy of a lot, parcel,
unit, or portion of real property for a period of time which has been or will be allocated from
51
SUPPLEMENTAL RESIDENTUL REGULATIONS [Draft. &29ASJ
twelve or more occupancy periods into which the facility has been divided. A timeshare use
may be coupled with an estate in the real property or it may entail a license, contract,
membership, or other right of occupancy not coupled with an estate in the real property.
2. "Person" means an individual, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, social club,
fraternal organization, joint stock company, corporation, estate, trust, business trust, receiver,
trustee, syndicate, or any other group or combination acting as a unit.
• ' '•
C. Limits on Occupancy.
1. In no instance shall a person occupy one or more timeshare units in a timeshare facility for
more than thirty days. Units which do not meet such criteria shall be considered to be
residential units and shall be subject to all applicable zoning restrictions.
2. Units in a timeshare facility shall not be used as a residence unless:
a. The residential use is allowed by the underlying zone designation; and
b. The residential use was specifically allowed by the conditional use permit or other City
discretionary permit.
D. Where Permitted.
1. Timeshare facilities and conversions to timeshare use are permitted subject to approval of a
conditional use permit only in residential zoning districts and in the CC (Community
Commercial) and CT (Tourist Commercial) districts Such facilities and conversions are
expressly prohibited in all other districts. Further, the conversion of timeshare units to
residential condominium uses is prohibited unless one hundred percent of the units in the
development are converted simultaneously.
2. Timeshare facilities may include other uses, either as minor ancillary uses to the timeshare
facility or independent facilities so long as the specific use is allowed by the underlying zone
designation. Such uses shall meet all City laws and requirements.
E. Development Standards. The following shall constitute the minimum development standards
for timeshare facilities and the conversion of existing facilities to timeshare use. Additional
requirements may be attached to a conditional use permit or other discretionary permit if found to be
necessary to assure that the development is consistent with the purpose of this Section:
1. Setback, Height, and Lot Coverage. The minimum required setbacks and minimum height and
lot coverage shall be those as established in the underlying zone designation. Additional
setbacks and height and lot coverage restrictions may be required to ensure that the facility is
adequately buffered from surrounding uses.
53
SUPPLEMENTAL RESIDENTIAL REGULATIONS lDraft. 8/29/951
2. Parking. The minimum parking requirements for timeshare facilities shall be those required
by law for hotel/motel uses, plus requirements for ancillary uses (for example, restaurants and
shops). Other uses which are included in the facility, but which are not ancillary uses, shall
meet all requirements of this Code. Additional parking may be required if the design of the
facility and units indicates that additional parking is necessary.
3. Signs. The sign requirements shall be those as established by Section ... of this Code.
4. Management. The management of a timeshare facility shall be in accordance with the
requirements established by the California Department of Real Estate for timeshare uses. An
on -site manager is required.
5. Required Facilities. The provision of facilities, amenities, or design features usually associated
with hotels/motels (e.g. lobbies, check -in area, registration desks, service closets, laundry
facilities) shall be required to ensure that the timeshare facility will adequately function as a
hotel/motel.
F. Conversions to Timeshare Uses. The following standards shall apply to conversions of existing
facilities to timeshare uses:
1. The conversion of any type of existing unit or facility to timeshare use shall be subject to the
approval of a conditional use permit. Conversions shall be evaluated in terms of the physical
suitability of the units or facilities for timeshare use. Items to be considered shall include,
without limitation, the general maintenance and upkeep of the structures; general physical
condition of the facility; age of the structures; suitability of the units for the type of occupancy
proposed; availability of kitchen facilities; the age, condition, and general repair of any
recreational facility; the potential impact on nonconverting units within the facility; and
conformance with appropriate building, safety, or fire standards. The upgrading of the facility
may be required to mitigate any identified deficiencies.
2. All facilities converted to timeshare use shall meet all applicable City requirements, including
building, safety, and fire standards.
3. The conversion of apartments to timeshare use shall be subject to the same relocation benefits
as are or may be established for the conversion of apartments to condominiums.

,9.90.060 Irregular Lots.
A. Purpose. The purpose of this Section is to provide standards for the establishment and
measurement of setbacks on irregular lots.
B. Perimeter Setbacks. Perimeter setbacks shall be measured from the property line or the
ultimate street right-of-way line, whichever results in the larger setback.
C. Pie -Shaped .Lots. Setbacks on pie -shaped lots shall be measured at the closest point between
the building and the angled lot line.
D. Flag or Panhandle Lots.
1. Definition. For purposes of this Section, "panhandle lot", "flag lot", "panhandle building
site", and "flag building site" all mean the following: a lot or building site having its only
vehicular access by way of a narrow accessway which serves no other property and which
is less than 40 feet wide and more than 20 feet long.
2. Wetbacks. All perimeter setbacks shall be measured from property lines, except that the
property line adjacent and most perpendicular to the "panhandle" portion of the lot shall be
extended across that portion and serve as the basis for measuring setbacks in that area.
3. No Structures in Panhandle. No structures shall be permitted in the panhandle portion of
the lot nor shall that portion be credited to minimum lot area requirements.
E. Determination by Director. Where a building site is situated such that any of the property lines
are not readily determinable, required setbacks shall be as determined by the Director in compliance
with the following criterion: required setbacks shall not permit the placement of buildings on the
site in a manner that will constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations
placed on other properties in the vicinity and incompatible with surrounding uses.
9.90.070 Setbacks from Surface Easements.
Where a surface easement for street, vehicular access, bikeway, or recreation trail purposes has
been granted across any portion of a lot, the building setback shall be measured from the property
line or to the edge of easement, whichever is closer to the building.

APPLICANT: MICHAEL HURST, ARCHITECT
PROPERTY
OWNER: COUNTRY FUND FINANCIAL SERVICES
REPRESENTATIVE: MICHAEL J. CONWAY, VICE PRESIDENT (COUNTRY FUND
FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.)
REQUEST: APPROVAL OF A TIME EXTENSION FOR A PREVIOUSLY
APPROVED COMMERCIAL SHOPPING CENTER
CONSISTING OF APPROXIMATELY 251,550 SQUARE FEET
ON APPROXIMATELY 21.3 DEVELOPABLE ACRES.
LOCATION: NORTHWEST CORNER OF HIGHWAY 111 AND
JEFFERSON STREET
ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSIDERATION: A NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT WAS APPROVED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS
APPLICATION DURING THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL IN
1993. NO CHANGES ARE PROPOSED THAT WOULD
INCREASE IMPACTS. THEREFORE, NO ADDITIONAL
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW IS DEEMED NECESSARY.
The project site is approximately 23 acres with 1.7 acres, of the total, in the existing
flood control channel. The channel to the north of this site is not lined at this time.
The property is presently vacant and void of any significant vegetation. The parcel
has approximately 1,450 feet of frontage on Highway 111 and approximately 860
feet on Jefferson Street (Attachment 1).
pcgt.122 1
This project was originally approved in February, 1993. The approved project
consists approximately of a 251,550 square foot shopping center with eleven
buildings. The development concept is to market the project as an "off -price" retail
center similar to the Cabazon "Desert Hills Factory Outlet" center. The "L" shaped
shopping center has future pad sites proposed along Highway 111 and Jefferson
Street. The site plan shows numerous driveways which will provide two-way traffic
access.
The buildings in the center are primarily single story with two story portions. The
architectural design is contemporary with a Mediterranean influence, various design
elements including stained-glass accent windows, stucco walls, the roofs and
pedestrian arcade (Attachment 2, Sheets 1 of 10).
The applicant and the owner's representatives have requested a second one-year
extension for this plot plan and specific plan (Attachments 3 and 4). Review of the
application was postponed at the request of the applicant. The time extension
request should have been reviewed a few months ago but the applicant asked that
their hearing be delayed while the owner and his partners, pursued other investment
avenues. The applicant has indicated that this request is needed in order to keep the
project entitlements alive during the sluggish economy.
The Public Works Department requested that several conditions for the project be
updated. Their memorandum is attached (Attachment 5) with the changes
incorporated into the draft conditions. Staff has also made other minor wording
changes to some of the conditions. The changes can be found by looking for the
asterisk adjoining the condition number.

Dear Greg;
Another year has passed and I find myself in the position to
request an additional one (1) year extension for the approved
Specific Plan 92-022, and Plot Plan 92-490; specifically known as
" the Jefferson Square Factory Outlet Center"; located at the corner
of Highway SR 111 and Jefferson Street:
The property, this past year, has been in the realm of changing
owners/ developers, and because of that instablity no one was ready
to forge ahaed with the development of the project. The Developers
and Land Owners do realize that the project property retains more .
value and would be easier to continue to develop with the approvals
as now in place intact.
It is for this that I am directing this letter of request for
extension to you at this time.
I am including with this request the required property owners
list and mailing labels as you requested (300 ft radius) and the
required fee for the processing of this request for extension.
Thank you for your attention and patience in this matter
I await your reply.

RE: Jefferson Square Factory Outlet - Plot Plan 92-490 request for 2nd time extension
Dear Greg:
This letter is to serve as an explanation and reason for requesting the additional extension for the
above named project.
As explanation; there has been in the past year various owners change of hands on the property f
the project mentioned. That situation has basically been solved but, we need additional time to put
the financing and leasing program back on track.
Also, the misunderstanding about the fee was a surprise.
We would also request that you postphone the processing of the request until the end of June, 19$
This would give us the opportunity to coordinate.
Thank you for your attention and patience in this matter.

We have reviewed the conditions of approval for the above project and have found
it lacking several district requirements stated in our letter dated October 2,
1992, copy enclosed.
In our previous letter the district stated conditions for domestic water,
sanitation, stormwater and irrigation drainage. Perhaps the most important
issue facing this development is our requirement for concrete slope protection
along the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel. The proposed development is
along an outside bend in the stormwater channel. Without slope protection, the
bank of the channel will continue to erode and cause the development to be at
risk. Slope protection must be provided. Please have the developer contact the
district regarding specific design requirements.
Drainage plans which discharge into the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel
shall be submitted to the district for review and approval. Nuisance water will
not be allowed to drain into the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel.
The developer shall provide adequate access to the district's Jefferson Street
Lift Station located at the northeast corner of the site. Grading plans
pertaining to the access of the lift station shall be submitted to the district
for review and approval.

Dear Mr. Trousdell:
RE: Plot Plan 92-490, Jefferson Square
Located on N/W Corner of Jefferson Street and Highway 111
After reviewing the plans described above, it has been determined that this project will
significantly impact the electric service to the area. The cumulative impact of projects of
this size is to increase the electrical demand on Imperial Irrigation District's (IID's)
existing facilities at peak loading periods. This added demand results in the need for
additional generation, transmission, substation, and distribution facilities. This will
directly impact power rates in the IID's service area and may result in higher electric
rates in future vears.
A copy of IID's Developer's Information Letter and Developer's Fact Sheet are enclosed
to assist the developer in successfully meeting electrical requirements. Please pass this
information along to the developer with our comments so he or she may consider these
requirements in the early planning stages.
If we may be of further assistance, please contact me at 398-5854 or John Salas at
398-5834.

DEVELOPER'S INFORMATION LETTER
(Effective September 15, 1994)
As an Owner, Developer or Contractor involved in today's new residential and/or
commercial developments, you are well aware of how timing can make the difference
between the success or failure of any project. The importance of establishing and
adhering to realistic construction schedules is equally as important to the success of that
project, as is project funding. With current and projected demands for residential and
commercial units within the service area of the Imperial Irrigation District (District),
Developers establish a comprehensive development plan for the successful marketing of
their project.
The District, likewise, in order to provide electrical service in a timely manner to various
projects, must also set schedules to keep pace with the demands for services. In that
regard, the following information is provided as a guide to assist the Owner, Developer or
Contractor in the planning and scheduling of his/her project(s). All of the general and
specific requirements set forth in the "Project Service Schedule" must be followed in the
sequence listed, therein.
When underground facilities are to be included, the District will provide a complete set of
underground duct, vault, transformer pad and riser pole system installation drawings and
associated specifications for each project or project phase. It is the responsibility of the
Owner(s), Developer(s) or Contractor to provide and install the underground conduit and
vault system complete, at the Owner's, Developer's or Contractor's expense, to and
including any street lighting systems required by and approved by the City or County
agency having jurisdiction in the project area. Lighting systems must be approved in
advance of installation by both the County and the District within a County Service Area
(CSA), and shall be designed by and included with the District's underground power
system drawings.
The District will provide an Underground Power Inspector during the actual installation of
conduit and vault systems. Any request for inspections on a project must be scheduled
with the District 48 hours prior to actual need. Failure on the part of the Owner(s),
Developer(s) or Contractor, to schedule and/or obtain an inspection and approval for any
portion of the lighting or underground power systems, may result in the total rejection of
the newly installed systems.
Developer's Letter -3- September 15, 1994
These guidelines, as provided by the District, herein, are not a guarantee expressed or
implied that electrical service will be provided to a particular project or phase of said
project, nor that electrical system designs or service will be provided within the time frame
so stated or implied, herein.
To eliminate any misunderstandings concerning the District's assumption of liability for
personal injury or property damage prior to or following the completion of the underground
duct and vault system by the Owner(s), Developer(s) or Contractor, please note the
following:
The Owner and/or Developer will be required to acknowledge, in writing, that the District
assumes no responsibility for safety, maintenance, repair or corrections for any on -site or
off -site electrical distribution system equipment or facilities until the system and facilities
are occupied and energized by the District. The Owner(s), or Developer(s) will be required
to sign and have notarized an Indemnification Statement prior to obtaining electrical power
service for the development project. The person or persons executing the said statement
are legally authorized by the Owner(s) and/or Developer(s) to enter into the Agreement
and that same is binding on all parties having ownership of, or contractual interest in the
land and/or development project.
Please refer to EXHIBIT "A", sheet 8 of 8 of this informational
letter for the standard recording form format required by the State
of California for recordation in both Imperial and Riverside
counties. The District's Indemnification Statement has been
incorporated on this form for your convenience as well as notes
relating to the required legal description of the site or project.
Note that the property and/or the development's legal description
may require more space than is provided on the form due to text
size requirements per government code. Please refer to the legal
description of the property or project site as EXHIBIT "A" and any

Developer's Fact Sheet
Your Project
The staff of IID realizes how important
your project and meeting your deadline is to you
and the company you represent.
This fact sheet is designed to answer
questions most commonly asked by developers,
such as yourself, and assist you in meeting your
goals. If you need more information, however,
the staff at IID will gladly assist you.
Initial Meeting
Normally, the developer and IID staff
meet to get acquainted and familiarize
themselves with important elements of the
project such as: the size of the development,
load information, the route for service,
streetlights, and substation and equipment needs.
To plan for this meeting, it is a good idea
to bring your preliminary plans and load
information so we may analyze your project.
You may even want to provide us with a copy of
your plans in advance. With this information, we
can determine if we have adequate capacity to
fill your needs and those of existing and future
customers in the surrounding area.
Customer Service Proposals (CSPs)
It is also advisable to visit our
Consumers Service Office and sign up for
service as soon as possible. Our staff there will
ask general information about your project, such
as the name of the development, tract and phase
numbers, addresses and amount of horsepower
you will, be using. If you are requesting service
to several residences or commercial buildings,
please bring a list of addresses with you.
We will issue one CSP or multiple CSPs
based on your request. It is a good idea to
obtain a copy of your CSP in the event you need
to inquire about its status. We use the CSP
number as a means of tracking your project.
We will then forward this information tc
the Engineering Section where an engineer or
distribution estimator will be assigned to your
project. He or she is responsible for designing
the layout of conduit, estimating the cable
charges and compiling a list of materials needec
to complete your job for the line crews. Once
this is completed, the "work order" is released
the Construction Section where it will be
scheduled for actual construction work.
Please keep in mind that there is
approximately a six-month period between the
time we initiate a CSP and the time the crews
begin construction. So please come in to sign i
for service as soon as possible.
Construction Charges & Scheduling
The engineer or estimator assigned to
your project is responsible for calculating
construction charges. These charges are based
on required material and manhours. The
Consumers Services Office will mail a letter to
you advising you of these charges. All charges
must be paid before the wiring layout is
completed, materials are ordered, and our
construction crews are scheduled to begin wor.
If your project has completed the
engineering phase and you would like to know
when it is scheduled for construction, please
contact Work Order Control at (619) 398-583,
Please have your CSP number handy.
Underground Conduit
The developer, owner or contractor is
responsible for installing the underground
conduit and vault system --at his or her expense
These underground systems include:
padmount transformers
switches
• street lighting systems (if necessary
rr�
Developer's Fact Sheet Page 2 of 2
Conduit requires an inspection and
mandreling before III) can accept or occupy the
system. We have a Power Inspector on staff
who is available to inspect these systems during
installation or assist with mandreling.
Please contact us at (619) 398-5854 to
schedule an inspection or mandrel assistance at
least 48 hours in advance.
Easements
Padmount transformers and switches
must be located within a ten -foot easement
adjacent to all public and private streets and
parking lots. Easements must be cited on the
final tract map title sheets, and original
easements must be signed by an III)
representative before recording. Details about
preparing easements are included in the
Developer's Information Letter.
Substations
For certain projects, III) may require that
the owner or developer donate a piece of land to
build a substation that will serve your project
and surrounding customers. III) staff will assist
you in finding the most logical location for this
substation.
Details of this substation, if needed, may
be obtained by your project engineer or
estimator. We strongly recommend that this be
done in the early stages of the project.
Clearance and Access
To ensure the safety of our personnel
during maintenance and operation of padmount
facilities, we require a ten -foot area surrounding
these facilities to be free of trees, bushes and
other encumbering landscaping.
We must also have around -the -clock
access to our facilities for maintenance and
emergency purposes. If IID facilities are located
within a gated or secured area, we will require
the developer equip unstaffed gates with Knox
locks. Please call Consumers Service at
398-5841 for information on how to obtain these
key -activated control devices.
Before you dig
Before you begin ground excavation,
please contact Underground Service Alert
(USA). This service is free of charge, however,
USA does require at least two working days'
notice. Please call toll free at 1-800-422-4133.
USA will notify all utilities in the area about
your need to have their underground services
located.
Overhead Dangers
Please remind your construction crews to
check for overhead wires before using any
cranes, forklifts, or other equipment that may
come in close proximity with overhead power
lines or equipment. Please contact the
Engineering Section at 398-5854 for information
about state -required clearances.
Other Assistance
IID's Developer's Information Letter
will provide you with details on submitting your
project drawings, preparing easements, and
other vital information. Please request one from
the Engineering Section if you do not already
have one.
We strive to make this experience a
positive one for our customers. Should you run
into problems or have a change in plans, please
let us know immediately. We will gladly assist it
any way we can.
You may write, visit, phone or fax us as
indicated below. Office hours are Monday
through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and
2:15 p.m. to 4:45 p.m., except holidays.

CASE NO.: PLOT PLAN 92-490 (REVISED) AND SPECIFIC PLAN 92-
022; EXTENSION OF TIME #2 - JEFFERSON SQUARE
APPLICANT: MICHAEL HURST, ARCHITECT
PROPERTY
OWNER: COUNTRY FUND FINANCIAL SERVICES
REPRESENTATIVE: MICHAEL J. CONWAY, VICE PRESIDENT (COUNTRY FUND
FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.)
REQUEST: APPROVAL OF A TIME EXTENSION FOR A PREVIOUSLY
APPROVED COMMERCIAL SHOPPING CENTER
CONSISTING OF APPROXIMATELY 251,550 SQUARE FEET
ON APPROXIMATELY 21.3 DEVELOPABLE ACRES.
LOCATION: NORTHWEST CORNER OF HIGHWAY 111 AND
JEFFERSON STREET
ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSIDERATION: A NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT WAS APPROVED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS
APPLICATION DURING THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL IN
1993. NO CHANGES ARE PROPOSED THAT WOULD
INCREASE IMPACTS. THEREFORE, NO ADDITIONAL
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW IS DEEMED NECESSARY.
The project site is approximately 23 acres with 1.7 acres, of the total, in the existing
flood control channel. The channel to the north of this site is not lined at this time.
The property is presently vacant and void of any significant vegetation. The parcel
has approximately 1,450 feet of frontage on Highway 111 and approximately 860
feet on Jefferson Street (Attachment 1).
pcgt.122 1
This project was originally approved in February, 1993. The approved project
consists approximately of a 251,550 square foot shopping center with eleven
buildings. The development concept is to market the project as an "off -price" retail
center similar to the Cabazon "Desert Hills Factory Outlet" center. The "U shaped
shopping center has future pad sites proposed along Highway 111 and Jefferson
Street. The site plan shows numerous driveways which will provide two-way traffic
access.
The buildings in the center are primarily single story with two story portions. The
architectural design is contemporary with a Mediterranean influence, various design
elements including stained-glass accent windows, stucco walls, tile roofs and
pedestrian arcade (Attachment 2, Sheets 1 of 10).
The applicant and the owner's representatives have requested a second one-year
extension for this plot plan and specific plan (Attachments 3 and 4). Review of the
application was postponed at the request of the applicant. The time extension
request should have been reviewed a few months ago but the applicant asked that
their hearing be delayed while the owner and his partners, pursued other investment
avenues. The applicant has indicated that this request is needed in order to keep the
project entitlements alive during the sluggish economy.
The Public Works Department requested that several conditions for the project be
updated. Their memorandum is attached (Attachment 5) with the changes
incorporated into the draft conditions. Staff has also made other minor wording
changes to some of the conditions. The changes can be found by looking for the
asterisk adjoining the condition number.
The Community Development Department feels that this request is acceptable. Staff
notes for review and approval by the Planning Commission that a number of
conditions do require studies and/or other items to be completed prior to the issuance
pcgt.122 2
of a building permit. Condition #2 requires the applicant to be under construction
within the next four (4) months or the project approval will expire.
Adopt Resolution 95 recommending approval of a one-year time extension to
February 2, 1996, to the City Council, subject to the amended conditions, as
attached.

Dear Greg;
Another year has passed and I find myself in the position to
request an additional one (1) year extension for the approved
Specific Plan 92-022, and Plot Plan 92-490; specifically known as
" the Jefferson Square Factory Outlet Center"; located at the corner
of Highway SR 111 and Jefferson Street:
The property, this past year, has been in the realm of changing
owners/ developers, and because of that instablity no one was ready
to forge ahaed with the development of the project. The Developers
and Land Owners do realize that the project property retains more .
value and would be easier to continue to develop with the approvals
as now in place intact.
It is for this that I am directing this letter of request for
extension to you at this time.
I am including with this request the required property owners
list and mailing labels as you requested (300 ft radius) and the
required fee for the processing of this request for extension.
Thank you for your attention and patience in this matter
I await your reply.

RE: Jefferson Square Factory Outlet - Plot Plan 92-490 request for 2nd time extension
Dear Greg:
This letter is to serve as an explanation and reason for requesting the additional extension for the
above named project.
As explanation; there has been in the past year various owners change of hands on the property foi
the project mentioned. That situation has basically been solved but, we need additional time to put
the financing and leasing program back on track.
Also, the misunderstanding about the fee was a surprise.
We would also request that you postphone the processing of the request until the end of June, 1995
This would give us the opportunity to coordinate.
Thank you for your attention and patience in this matter.

We have reviewed the conditions of approval for the above project and have found
it lacking several district requirements stated in our letter dated October 2,
1992, copy enclosed.
In our previous letter the district stated conditions for domestic water,
sanitation, stormwater and irrigation drainage. Perhaps the most important
issue facing this development is our requirement for concrete slope protection
along the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel. The proposed development is
along an outside bend in the stormwater channel. Without slope protection, the
bank of the channel will continue to erode and cause the development to be at
risk. Slope protection must be provided. Please have the developer contact the
district regarding specific design requirements.
Drainage plans which discharge into the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel
shall be submitted to the district for review and approval. Nuisance water will
not be allowed to drain into the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel.
The developer shall provide adequate access to the district's Jefferson Street
Lift Station located at the northeast corner of the site. Grading plans
pertaining to the access of the lift station shall be submitted to the district
for review and approval.

Dear Mr. Trousdell:
RE: Plot Plan 92-490, Jefferson Square
Located on N/W Corner of Jefferson Street and Highway 111
After reviewing the plans described above, it has been determined that this project will
significantly impact the electric service to the area. The cumulative impact of projects of
this size is to increase the electrical demand on Imperial Irrigation District's (IID's)
existing facilities at peak loading periods. This added demand results in the need for
additional generation, transmission, substation, and distribution facilities. This will
directly impact power rates in the IID's service area and may result in higher electric
rates in future years.
A copy of IID's Developer's Information Letter and Developer's Fact Sheet are enclosed
to assist the developer in successfully meeting electrical requirements. Please pass this
information along to the developer with our comments so he or she may consider these
requirements in the early planning stages.
If we may be of further assistance, please contact me at 398-5854 or John Salas at
398-5834.
Sincerely, f

DEVELOPER'S INFORMATION LETTER
(Effective September 15, 1994)
As an Owner, Developer or Contractor involved in today's new residential and/or
commercial developments, you are well aware of how timing can make the difference
between the success or failure of any project. The importance of establishing and
adhering to realistic construction schedules is equally as important to the success of that
project, as is project funding. With current and projected demands for residential and
commercial units within the service area of the Imperial Irrigation District (District),
Developers establish a comprehensive development plan for the successful marketing of
their project.
The District, likewise, in order to provide electrical service in a timely manner to various
projects, must also set schedules to keep pace with the demands for services. In that
regard, the following information is provided as a guide to assist the Owner, Developer or
Contractor in the planning and scheduling of his/her project(s). All of the general and
specific requirements set forth in the "Project Service Schedule" must be followed in the
sequence listed, therein.
When underground facilities are to be included, the District will provide a complete set of
underground duct, vault, transformer pad and riser pole system installation drawings and
associated specifications for each project or project phase. It is the responsibility of the
Owner(s), Developer(s) or Contractor to provide and install the underground conduit and
vault system complete, at the Owner's, Developer's or Contractor's expense, to and
including any street lighting systems required by and approved by the City or County
agency having jurisdiction in the project area. Lighting systems must be approved in
advance of installation by both the County and the District within a County Service Area
(CSA), and shall be designed by and included with the District's underground power
system drawings.
The District will provide an Underground Power Inspector during the actual installation of
conduit and vault systems. Any request for inspections on a project must be scheduled
with the District 48 hours prior to actual need. Failure on the part of the Owner(s),
Developer(s) or Contractor, to schedule and/or obtain an inspection and approval for any
portion of the lighting or underground power systems, may result in the total rejection of
the newly installed systems.
Developer's Letter -3- September 15, 1994
These guidelines, as provided by the District, herein, are not a guarantee expressed or
implied that electrical service will be provided to a particular project or phase of said
project, nor that electrical system designs or service will be provided within the time frame
so stated or implied, herein.

IMPERIAL IRRIGATION DISTRICT _
Developer's Fact Sheet
Your Project
The staff of IID realizes how important
your project and meeting your deadline is to you
and the company you represent.
This fact sheet is designed to answer
questions most commonly asked by developers,
such as yourself, and assist you in meeting your
goals. If you need more information, however,
the staff at IID will gladly assist you.
Initial Meeting
Normally, the developer and IID staff
meet to get acquainted and familiarize
themselves with important elements of the
project such as: the size of the development,
load information, the route for service,
streetlights, and substation and equipment needs.
To plan for this meeting, it is a good idea
to bring your preliminary plans and load
information so we may analyze your project.
You may even want to provide us with a copy of
your plans in advance. With this information, we
can determine if we have adequate capacity to
fill your needs and those of existing and future
customers in the surrounding area.
Customer Service Proposals (CSPs)
It is also advisable to visit our
Consumers Service Office and sign up for
service as soon as possible. Our staff there will
ask general information about your project, such
as the name of the development, tract and phase
numbers, addresses and amount of horsepower
you will be using. If you are requesting service
to several residences or commercial buildings,
please bring a list of addresses with you.
We will issue one CSP or multiple CSPs
based on your request. It is a good idea to
obtain a copy of your CSP in the event you need
to inquire about its status. We use the CSP
number as a means of tracking your project.
We will then forward this information to
the Engineering Section where an engineer or
distribution estimator will be assigned to your
project. He or she is responsible for designing
the layout of conduit, estimating the cable
charges and compiling a list of materials needed
to complete your job for the line crews. Once
this is completed, the "work order" is released to
the Construction Section where it will be
scheduled for actual construction work.
Please keep in mind that there is
approximately a six-month period between the
time we initiate a CSP and the time the crews
begin construction. So please come in to sign up
for service as soon as possible.
Construction Charges & Scheduling
The engineer or estimator assigned to
your project is responsible for calculating
construction charges. These charges are based
on required material and manhours. The
Consumers Services Office will mail a letter to
you advising you of these charges. All charges
must be paid before the wiring layout is
completed, materials are ordered, and our
construction crews are scheduled to begin work.
If your project has completed the
engineering phase and you would like to know
when it is scheduled for construction, please
contact Work Order Control at (619) 398-5834.
Please have your CSP number handy.
Underground Conduit
The developer, owner or contractor is
responsible for installing the underground
conduit and vault system --at his or her expense.
These underground systems include:
• padmount transformers
• switches
• street lighting systems (if necessary)
Developer's Fact Sheet Page 2 of 2
Conduit requires an inspection and
mandreling before III) can accept or occupy the
system. We have a Power Inspector on staff
who is available to inspect these systems during
installation or assist with mandreling.
Please contact us at (619) 398-5854 to
schedule an inspection or mandrel assistance at
least 48 hours in advance.
Easements
Padmount transformers and switches
must be located within a ten -foot easement
adjacent to all public and private streets and
parking lots. Easements must be cited on the
final tract map title sheets, and original
easements must be signed by an III)
representative before recording. Details about
preparing easements are included in the
Developer's Information Letter.
Substations
For certain projects, IID may require that
the owner or developer donate a piece of land to
build a substation that will serve your project
and surrounding customers. IID staff will assist
you in finding the most logical location for this
substation.
Details of this substation, if needed, may
be obtained by your project engineer or
estimator. We strongly recommend that this be
done in the early stages of the project.
Clearance and Access
To ensure the safety of our personnel
during maintenance and operation of padmount
facilities, we require a ten -foot area surrounding
these facilities to be free of trees, bushes and
other encumbering landscaping.
We must also have around -the -clock
access to our facilities for maintenance and
emergency purposes. If IID facilities are located
within a gated or secured area, we will require
the developer equip unstaffed gates with Knox
locks. Please call Consumers Service at
398-5841 for information on how to obtain these
key -activated control devices.
Before you dig ._.
Before you begin ground excavation,
please contact Underground Service Alert
(USA). This service is free of charge, however,
USA does require at least two working days'
notice. Please call toll free at 1-800-422-4133.
USA will notify all utilities in the area about
your need to have their underground services
located.
Overhead Dangers
Please remind your construction crews to
check for overhead wires before using any
cranes, forklifts, or other equipment that may
come in close proximity with overhead power
lines or equipment. Please contact the
Engineering Section at 398-5854 for information
about state -required clearances.
Other Assistance
IID's Developer's Information Letter

ENVIRONMENTAL
DETERMINATION: THIS PLOT PLAN WHICH IS A PART OF PGA WEST HAS
BEEN DETERMINED TO BE EXEMPT FROM THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA
CODE SECTION 65457(a). AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT WAS PREPARED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE
OVERALL "PGA WEST SPECIFIC PLAN" AND CERTIFIED BY
THE CITY COUNCIL ON MAY 1, 1984. A SUBSEQUENT
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT WAS PREPARED AND
ADOPTED AS A PART OF AMENDMENT #1 TO THE "PGA
WEST SPECIFIC PLAN" AND CERTIFIED ON SEPTEMBER
20, 1988. THEREFORE, NO ADDITIONAL
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW IS DEEMED NECESSARY.
The City Council at its meeting of June 6, 1995, on appeal, approved the design of
the Ryder (formerly Dora[), Heritage, and Masters Collection units within PGA West.
In summary, the approval allowed the following:
pcss.105
Three floor plans (2,065 to 2,380 square feet), each one with a different facade.
Three floor plans (2,598 to 3,443 square feet), each one with a different facade.
Two floor plans (4,086 and 4,542 square feet), each one with a different facade.
The approved units were subject to the compatibility ordinance requirements. It was
determined that the units were compatible in size and architectural style as well as
other requirements. This determination was based on the fact that approved units
within PGA West varied from 1,290 square feet to 4,830 square feet. Also a variety
of architectural units and styles have already been approved and constructed within
the project.
Attached is an excerpt of the April 25, 1995 staff report which provides details on
the previously approved units.
The applicants are requesting approval of new design schemes for several elevations
of the previously approved units. Additionally, one new floor plan for the Masters
Collection is proposed. For most of the units, there have been minor changes to side
and rear elevations due to changes in window and door shapes or roof plans. There
have also been several floor plan changes for several of the units to increase the floor
area. The proposal, for the new units, is as follows:
1. RYDER (FORMERLY DORAL) COLLECTION
The Ryder Collection floor plan sizes have not changed. The applicant is
adding two new designs to the facades to each of the three floor plans.
Additionally, there have been some minor design changes to the side and rear
elevation windows and doors, specifically locations, size and number.
2. HERITAGE COLLECTION
The previously approved Heritage Collection units are 2,598 square feet, 2,867
square feet, and 3,443 square feet for the 1, 2, and 3 plans, respectively,
each unit having a different design treatment. The applicant is now proposing
two additional design schemes for each of the floor plans. With these new
pcss.105
plans, the square footage increases in a range varying from 3,368 square feet
to 4,024 square feet. The variation in sizes is due to changes to the front
portion of the house for each unit. The majority of each floor plan is the same
as the previously approved plans. There are some side and rear elevation
differences again due to the different facades. The tallest structure would be
20-feet 6-inches high which is the plan 2B and 2C.
3. MASTERS COLLECTION
The original Masters Collection units are 4,086 square feet and 4,542 square
feet for Plans 1 and 3 respectively, each with its own design scheme. Plan 1
is shown at 4,127 square feet with Plan 3 at the original size. The applicants
are proposing a new floor plan at 4,280 square feet. This unit will be a four
bedroom, 4-1/2 bath unit with a roll -up garage door.
The applicants are proposing to add two new design schemes to Plan 1. One
new facade treatment to Plan 3 while modifying the original facade slightly.
New Plan 2 would have facade treatments. The tallest unit in this Collection
will be 21-feet, 6-inches which is the Plan 3B.
All of the proposed units maintain the design and materials typical of
Mediterranean period prevalent within PGA West. The material and color
sample board which was previously approved will also be used for these units.
Exterior materials will consist of light earth tone stucco colors, light to medium
wood stain colors for exposed beams, rafter tails, garage doors, etc. and terra
cotta Spanish roof tile. All garages will utilize metal roll up doors.
As noted, these floor plans were originally approved by the Planning Commission and
City Council earlier this year. This request is to allow further variation in the
architectural design scheme along with one new floor plan (Masters, Plan 2). The
previous approval was deemed compatible with the existing PGA West units.
Staff feels that the units are acceptable. The following findings can be made to
warrant approval of this request:
1. The architecture of the proposed units will be compatible with existing and
recently approved June, 1995) units in that these units propose materials and
design typical of the Mediterranean period, existing within PGA West.
2. The units are in compliance with the development standards for the
compatibility review process in that the architectural style, color, materials are
pcss.105
compatible, and the unit sizes will not deviate more than 10% from the square
footage of the existing or approved units.
6y Minute Motion 95- approve Plot Plan 95-565, subject to the attached
conditions.

SECTION 65457(a). AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT WAS PREPARED IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THE OVERALL "PGA WEST SPECIFIC PLAN" AND CERTIFIED
BY THE CITY COUNCIL ON MAY 1,1984. A SUBSEQUENT EIR WAS PREPARED AND
ADOPTED AS PART OF AMENDMENT #1 TO THE PGA WEST SPECIFIC PLAN AND
CERTIFIED ON SEPTEMBER 20, 1988. THEREFORE, NO ADDITIONAL
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW IS DEEMED NECESSARY.
BACKGROUND:
The original specific plan for PGA West was approved in 1984, and as amended, provides for four 18-
hole golf courses, a maximum 5,000 single family residences, a 1,000 room hotel, and other related
resort facilities on approximately 1,700 acres. Since that time, two smaller specific plans which would
be a expansion of PGA West have been approved adding 1940 units on 485 acres. To date,
approximately 1560 building permits have been issued for residential units. .
PCST.215
Project Proposal
This application consists of two sub -requests. The first is to approve a new model complex and sales
office adjacent to PGA West Boulevard south of the Tennis Complex and north of the Nicklaus Private
course entrance. The second request is for approval of three new series of homes for construction
within PGA West.
Sales Center and Model Complex
The sales center and model complex will consist of nine units of which one will utilized for the sales
center. Off-street parking for 29 cars is provided in a parking lot at the front of the complex. Access
to this model complex will be provided at PGA Boulevard adjacent to the southeast corner of the Tennis
Complex. The applicant is proposing to provide a new median break in the existing median to allow
left turn in and out access.
Trap fences will be provided around the fronts of the models to guide pedestrian traffic. A 12-foot wide
walkway with emergency access gates in the trap fence will be provided for fire or emergency access
to the units at the extreme ends of the complex.
New Production Units
The applicants are requesting approval of three new production series ranging in size from 2,065
square feet to 4,542 square feet called the Doral Collection, the Heritage Collection, and the Masters
Collection. The Doral and Heritage Collections will each have three different floor plans with the
Masters Collection having two different floor plans. The applicant indicates that the Doral Collection
is designed for a lot of approximately 55-feet wide by 130-feet deep. The Heritage Collection is
designed for a lot of approximately 70-feet wide by 130-feet deep while the Masters Collection is
designed for a lot of approximately 95-feet wide by 130-feet deep.
A description of each series is as follows:

The exterior materials proposed for each of the units includes light earth tone stuccos, light to medium
wood stains for exposed beams, rafter tails, garage doors, entry doors, etc., and terra cotta Spanish
roofing. All garages will utilize metal roll -up doors.
Each of the units is a detached single family residence with side yards which would be a minimum of
five feet. The Heritage Collection, which has straight -in garages, specifically shows a 20-foot front
yard setback. The Masters Collection, which also has a straight -in garage, does not show proposed
setbacks. The Doral Collection does not show front yard setbacks. Plan #1 of the Doral Collection
provides side -in garages which would allow a 15-foot front yard setback by virtue of the specific plan
approval. As shown on the plans, each of the units would have a wrought iron gate which leads into
a courtyard of varying sizes.
COMPATIBILITY ISSUE:
The PGA West Specific Plan project is made up of numerous tentative tract maps which have been
approved over the years. Some of the tracts have been completely built out while others have not.
Therefore, these units are subject to compatibility review and approval. With regards to unit size,
eight different unit series have been approved at different times and constructed over the years varing
in size from approximately 1,290 square feet to 4,165 square feet. These units vary from single family
detached to single family attached and two story six- and eight-plexes. These units have been built
in various areas of the project to date. In September,1990, Sunrise Company, who had built all the
units up to the present time, requested and received approval of seven new product series which varied
from single family detached to flour-plexes. The size range of these units varied from 1,315 square feet
to approximately 4,830 square feet. To date, these units have not been constructed within the project
but are approved for use.
PCST.215 3
The size range of approved and constructed units within PGA West is presently 1,290 square feet to
4,830 square feet. The units now proposed by the applicant vary from 2,065 square feet to 4,542 square
feet which complies with the compatibility provisions.
With regards to architectural compatibility, when just considering the units which have been built
within PGA West, there is a great variety of Mediterranean/Spanish architecture. As previously noted,
the units vary from single family detached to two-story multiple unit structures. Roof tiles vary from
curved Spanish tile to flat tiles. The units utilized light neutral stucco colors and wrought iron fencing.
Roof styles and pitches vary with most units having little or no roof overhangs. Archways, builtout
windows, stucco columns, and pop -outs around windows are typical of many of the units. Existing
units which have been constructed have predominately been constructed in groups spread out
throughout the project. One series of units is sometimes placed immediately across the street or next
to a different series of homes. Furthermore, several custom homes have been constructed.
ANALYSIS:
With regards to compatibility issues, the size range is within that permitted by the Compatibility
Ordinance. With regards to architectural compatibility, as noted there is a vast variety of
architectural styles, colors, details, etc. Staff feels that due to this variety, we feel that the proposed
units should be considered architecturally compatibility with the existing units. Should the
Commission wish to see plans of existing units, they will be available at the meeting.
With regards to protection of glass area, all of the units provide significant covered rear patios. The
Doral Collection provides roof eave overhangs which vary from as much as three feet to approximately
one foot. The Masters and Heritage Collection, for the most part, have stucco covered eaves with very
little overhang, except at the front entries and rear as noted above. In most of the units of all the
series the windows facing the front yard are recessed or inserted into the building. This does provide
additional glass protection.
It should, be noted that the PGA West Specific Plan allows a 15-foot setback for side -in garages. The
Doral Collection has one unit with side -in garages. The other units will have to be provided with a 20-
foot front yard setback. The required rear setback is 10-feet which may have a five foot patio
encroachment when adjacent to a common open space if a setback adjustment is granted. Some of
the units may need setback adjustments to allow the patio covers shown on the plans.
While conceptual landscaping is indicated, additional preliminary landscaping plans showing at least
one specimen size tree in the front yard per the Compatibility Ordinance, will need to be provided. To
date, this project has always provided well designed landscaping.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL:
1. The architecture of the proposed units will be compatible with and not detrimental to other
existing units within PGA West.
PCST.215 4
2. Applicable standards including, but not limited to setbacks, parking, landscaping, site design,
and other similar features will be compatible with and not detrimental to other existing units
within PGA West.
3. As conditioned, the units will be in compliance with applicable General Plan, Specific Plan, and
Zoning Ordinance requirements.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: SEPTEMBER 26, 1995
CASE: SPECIAL ADVERTISING DEVICE 95-079
APPLICANT: LA QUINTA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (MS. EILEEN SAVAN)
REQUEST: APPROVAL OF TEMPORARY ADVERTISING FOR THE UPCOMING
LA QUINTA MAINSTREET MARKETPLACE EVENTS ON CALLE
ESTADO BETWEEN OCTOBER, 1995 TO APRIL, 1996
The La Quinta Chamber of Commerce is requesting approval to install on and off -site
advertising (i.e., signs and banner) for the 1995/1996 season. The package is
attached (Attachments 1-6) and is similar to past application requests made over the
last two years. The applicant is requesting placement of small and large signs with
their name and directional information depending on the placement of the sign.
Approximately 21 directional signs are proposed within a three mile radius of the
event. The signs will be located generally in the right-of-way along the major arterial
streets surrounding the Village area. The large port -a -panel sign (50 sq. ft.), will be
placed at the southeast corner of Highway 111 and Washington Street, on private
property. Additionally, one 3 ft. X 25 ft. banner will be hung across Avenida
Bermudas at the Chamber's property, 51-351 Avenida Bermudas, across from the
Marketplace.
The applicant's outdoor event permit (MTOE 95-098) was approved by staff in
August. The City Council approved the street closure permit on September 19, 1995.
Section 5.64.020 provides, in part, that permits are to be issued for special purposes,
" . . . and not on a continuing basis for permanent advertising or identification
purposes," and further, " ... each permit shall be issued for a specific period."
PCGT.124
This application request is the same as last year's approval by the Planning
Commission.
In past years', the Chamber personnel have consistently abided by the conditions
imposed by the City. This outdoor event stimulates community involvement and the
City encourages this type of activity.
By Minute Motion 95- , approve Special Advertising Device 95-079, subject to
the attached Findings and Conditions of Approval.

Dear Jerry:
The Mainstreet Marketplace Planning Committee requests permission
to have the following off -site "SPECIAL ADVERTISING DEVICES"
approved for the 1995/1996 series. Season dates are attached.
All items in this category were approved for last season.
BANNER:
Last year our Mainstreet banner was tied and anchored to 2 palm
trees on opposite sides of Avenida Bermudas and the banner
stretched across the street with the sign facing North. This
banner hung between the Post Office and the Chamber, next o
the City bulletin board and just a few feet south of the Post
office driveway. We request the same site location be used
again this year. Banner size: approximately 3' x 25'.
PORT -A -PANEL:
On the SE corner of Highway 111 and Washington (Simon Plaza
property) we again would like to have a port -a -panel sign
advertising MAINSTREET MARKETPLACE. The sign measures 5 feet
x 10 feet, and would be installed and serviced by Fairway Outdoor
Advertising. Exposure time is approximately 1 week prior to
each event. Dismantling of the sign is a few days after. Exact
installation date is subject to their scheduling. For your
information, we have secured permission from the property owner
to utilize this area.

PLANNING COMMISSION
DATE: SEPTEMBER 26, 1995
CASE NO.: SPECIFIC PLAN 84-004 (RANCHO LA QUINTA)
REQUEST: APPROVAL OF TWO NEW UNIT TYPES IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THE ADOPTED SPECIFIC PLAN (I.E., TERRAZA AND
PALACIO UNITS)
LOCATION: RANCHO LA QUINTA DRIVE (ATTACHMENT 1)
APPLICANT: MR. GRADY SPARKS, SPARKS CONSTRUCTION
PROPERTY
OWNERS: T.D. DESERT DEVELOPMENT
ARCHITECT: PEKAREK/CRANDELL, INC.
BACKGROUND:
General
The City originally approved the current Rancho La Quinta project area as The Groves
Specific Plan (most recently know as The Pyramids before Rancho La Quinta) in 1984.
The development, when completed will include approximately 1,500 single family homes,
80 guest cottages, and two 18-hole golf courses. The prior owner built the existing golf
course before T.D. Desert Development acquired the property.
On August 24, 1993, T.D. Desert Development obtained approval to build five different
style family homes in the development as follows:
1. A Casitas duplex with units containing 1,425 and 1,650 sq. ft.
2. A Hacienda with garden bedroom containing 1,816 sq. ft.
3. A Hacienda containing 2,180 sq. ft. with a detached garden bedroom.
4. An Enstancia containing 2,750 sq. ft.
5. An Enstancia containing 3,000 sq. ft. with a detached garden bedroom.
STAFFRPT.048
Please note the developer has changed the names of the existing model units to Rancho
(2040 was #2), Rancho (2235 was #3), Hacienda (2940 was #4) and Hacienda (3265 was
#5). The reason this change was necessary was because the applicant purchased and
incorporated the original Orchard project (Tract 26524 and PM 26525, estate lots) on the
south side of Avenue 50 into their sales program. They now call this 47-lot area The
Estancias.
Except for the duplex unit that has a two -car garage, each has a detached two -car garage,
with a golf cart space. Detached garden bedrooms for the 2,180 and 3,000 sq. ft. units are
located between the main house and garage unit.
The project architecture typifies the Mediterranean period. All houses are one-story with
approximately 90 homes built in the last year.
In June of this year, the applicant processed an amendment to replace the Casitas duplex
with a larger unit(s). The duplex is 1,719 and 1,948 sq. ft. and has a two -car garage for
each unit. The units are architecturally compatible with the design of the original plans
approved in 1993. We permitted minor changes that included mixing the type of roof eave,
metal roll -up garage doors, deletion of the exposed wood headers, and other cosmetic
variations on these smaller units. The Commission approved these new plans, subject
to Conditions. They are building the Casitas duplexes to the east of the existing model
complex abutting the Tennis Complex on Rancho La Quinta Drive.
Project Request
Staff has received a new request to develop two new single family house plans. The
models for these houses will be found to the west of the existing model complex on
Rancho La Quinta Drive. The Terraza and Palacio Plans are single story homes, and are
described as follows:
1. Terraza (Plan 1) - 2,285 sq.ft. + 555 sq.ft. garage (with golf cart parking)
2. Terraza (Plan 2) - 2,707 sq.ft. + 516 sq.ft. garage (with golf cart parking)
3. Palacio (Plan 1) - 3,465 sq.ft. + 608 sq.ft. garage (with golf cart parking)
4. Palacio (Plan 2) - 3,822 sq.ft. + 666 sq.ft. garage (with golf cart parking)
Note: The size of the units will be smaller if they do not build the detached guest house
and golf cart parking area. These detached facilities are marketing options.
The architectural style of these new units is consistent with previous plans in that the
homes have Spanish type roofs (i.e., clay S-tile), stucco walls, painted metal gates or wood
gates, wood panel roll -up garage doors, exposed rafter tails and other exposed wood
STAFFRPT.048
treatments. The units have two foot wide eave overhangs. The houses are generally 22-
feet high, and have one or two different street elevations each to provide diverse street
elevations. The front facade will have exposed rafter tails with the remaining elevations
having boxed eaves.
The units will have traditional setbacks for all yards. Front yards will vary from 15- to 20-
feet depending on the garage being side- or front -loaded. The rear of each home will face
the golf course.
CONCLUSION:
The new units are in keeping with the architectural design of the project, and all units are
larger than 2,200 sq.ft. with or without the detached guests' suite. All design specifications
meet the provisions of the Zoning Code and Specific Plan 84-004.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Planning Commission Minute Motion 95- , approving the Terraza and Palacio
Units, subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.

MINUTES
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
A regular meeting held at the La Quinta City Hall
78-495 Calle Tampico, La Quinta, CA
SEPTEMBER 12, 1995
CALL TO ORDER
7:00 P.M.
A. This meeting of the Planning Commission was called to order at 7:02 P.M. by
Chairman Abels who asked Vice Chairman Gardner to lead the flag salute.
II. ROLL CALL
A. Chairman Abels requested the roll call: Present: Commissioners Adolph,
Anderson, Barrows, Butler, Gardner, Newkirk, and Chairman Abels.
B. Staff Present: Community Development Director Jerry Herman, City Attorney
Dawn Honeywell, Planning Manager Christine di Iorio, Principal Planner Stan
Sawa, Associate Planners Greg Trousdell and Leslie Mouriquand, and Executive
Secretary Betty Sawyer.
III. PUBLIC COMMENT: None.
IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. Plot Plan 95-563; a request of Ayres Homes for approval of new architectural plans
for two new single family units.
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. Commissioner Gardner asked if the applicant was proposing flat roof tiles.
Staff stated they were.
3. Commissioner Adolph asked how the existing houses compared with the new
units in square footage. Staff stated the Brock houses range in size from
2204 to 3,017 square feet, and the existing Ayres homes are 2616 to 2444
square feet. They proposed units are 1999-2300 square feet. They are
consistent with the compatibility regulations on size as well as the colors.
PC9-12 I
Planning Commission Minutes
September 12, 1995
4. Commissioner Anderson asked if the colors on the front door (green color)
would match the existing houses. Staff explained where the color green
would be used.
5. Commissioner Barrows asked if the condition requiring a shade structure on
the rear of the houses would be added. Principal Planner Stan Sawa
explained what had been required on previous new subdivision
developments. Community Development Director Jerry Herman explained
this was for new units and patio covers are not required for this submittal.
6. Commissioner Butler asked that since this was a change in size could they
require the addition of patio covers. City Attorney Dawn Honeywell stated
that only if the original units had patio covers and they were now deleted in
the new units would this be allowed. Discussion followed regarding
compatibility changes.
7. There being no further comment, Chairman Abels opened the public hearing
and asked if the applicant wished to address the Commission.
8. Commissioner Anderson asked if the green color would be only on the front
doors. Mr. Ayres explained it would be on the door and trim. It would be
applied to the stucco window and garage door surroundo of the facade to give
the feeling of depth.
9. Commissioner Butler asked if three car garages had been on the old units.
Mr. Ayres stated they were offering two car garages with the option for a golf
cart bay if their buyers were interested.
10. Commissioner Adolph asked if the applicant had any problems with the
conditions. Mr. Ayres stated he would like to have a choice between the flat
and "S" the if possible for the roof material.
11. Commissioner Adolph asked how many more homes would be built. Mr.
Ayres stated it would depend on the market. Commissioner Adolph stated
he had no problem with the mix, but only if there were to be enough to make
it blend with the tracts. Mr. Ayres stated 150-200 lots are the potential for
the build -out by his company. In addition, Mr. Ayres stated he had no
problem with the staff s request for pop -outs on all the windows as well as
offering the option for patio covers.
PC9-12 2
Planning Commission Minutes
September 12, 1995
12. Commissioner Butler asked if there was an existing homeowners' association
to review the plans. Mr. Ayres stated there was one and he was unaware as
to whether they had reviewed the plans. Commissioner Butler stated his
concern for the change of the colors, and roof tile, without the homeowners'
association consent. Mr. Ayres stated they had contacted all the property
owners in the area and had received no negative comments. They encouraged
building on the remaining vacant lots.
13. Mr. Phillip Shamis, Del Monte Court, (Desert Fairways Homeowners), stated
the homeowners' association (HOA) had not discussed the plans. Mr. Ayres
may have discussed it with the HOA president but not with the board. He did
not object to the proposal and did want to see the area built up and hopefully
not reduce the property values any further than what has happened in the last
few years.
14. There being no further public comment, Chairman Abels closed the public
hearing.
15. Commissioner Anderson stated that the true description of the existing tile
is a "S" type tile that is somewhat flat and therefore would not be that big of
a difference and if the rest of the two different roof materials is well planned,
he sees no problem with introducing the flat tile to the project. However, he
does not know how that will affect the Compatibility Ordinance.
16. Chairman Abels asked why staff was requiring the condition. Associate
Planner Leslie Mouriquand stated the reason was to have all the units the
same and the flat the would be different from the existing.
17. Commissioner Butler asked staff/legal counsel, if the Planning Commission
approved the use of the flat tile, could this become a potential problem in the
future. City Attorney Dawn Honeywell stated the Commission could make
a determination whether or not this is necessary to be consistent and
compatible. Discussion followed. Commissioner Butler stated he had no real
objection, but did not want to open up a "bucket of worms" for future
approvals.
18. Commissioner Adolph stated he did not feel the Planning Commission
wanted a neighborhood that was identical in every way. He would like to see
some deviation for effect and the design of the house is the most important
feature that must meet the compatibility issue. Every house should not have
the same roof material, nor the same color. Commissioner Anderson agreed
that variation and diversity is what the Commission is trying to accomplish
PC9-12
Planning Commission Minutes
September 12, 1995
with the compatibility requirements.
19. Chairman Abels stated this is a request for only 13 houses and if there were
more than 13 homes he would feel different. He too was concerned that this
would become a "Pandora's box".
20. Commissioner Butler stated his concern about the number of homes that had
been reviewed due to down scaling and homeowners had still objected.
21. Commissioner Barrows stated she agreed that diversity was needed and this
was not an objectionable or significant change. She felt the City needed to
give the developer more flexibility and hopefully, more units would be built.
22. Chairman Abels stated he felt a number should be determined and perhaps
that should be no more than 50% of the homes could have the flat tile roofs.
In addition, Commissioner Adolph stated they would like to see them
dispersed and not next to each other. City Attorney Dawn Honeywell stated
it was a discretion of the Commission to determine whether or not it was a
deviation that would affect the compatibility. Discussion followed as to what
percentage would be fair. It was determined that up to 50% would be
allowed, but the developer could utilize any percentage up to that point.
23. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by
Commissioners Adolph/Newkirk to adopt Minute Motion 95-037 approving
the exhibits submitted for Plan 3 and Plan 4 of Tract 25389-1, subject to
allowing the flat roof tile to be utilized for up to 50% of these 13 units.
Motion carried with Commissioner Gardner voting No.
B. General Plan Amendment 95-050, Change of Zone 95-079, and Environmental
Assessment 95-307; a request of Mike Rowe, of Keith Companies, for certification
of a Mitigated Negative Declaration of an Environmental Impact, approval of a
General Plan Amendment to change the land use categories, and approval of a
change of zone to redesignate the zone classifications.
1. Associate Planner Greg Trousdell presented the information contained in the
staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development
Department.
2. Commissioner Anderson asked staff to clarify the difference between the
density of the Office Zone and the Community Commercial Zone. He also
was concerned about the high density residential being located so close to the
low density residential without having a medium density buffer. Staff stated
PC9-12 4
Planning Commission Minutes
September 12, 1995
the reference to high density was correct, but the R-1 and R-2 Zoning allowed
homes to be 28-feet (two-story) instead of three story as noted in the HDR
General Plan category. Discussion followed as to the configuration
possibilities.
Chairman Abels asked about the section of Darby Road to be eliminated as
there was nothing on either side of the road; could it create any problems?
Staff stated this configuration would correct the problem.
4. There being no further questions of staff, Chairman Abels opened the public
hearing and asked if the applicant wished to address the Commission. Mr.
Mike Rowe, representing the applicant, stated they were trying to come up
with land uses that would make sense with the zoning classifications. These
new changes would make the property more marketable.
5. Commissioner Adolph stated he too was concerned about upgrading to High
Density from Low Density. He informed the applicant that the Commission
would be extremely critical to any proposed project that would be detrimental
to the Darby Road residents. Mr. Rowe stated the future project would be
compatible with the neighborhood.
6. Commissioner Anderson stated he could see this commercial corner
becoming viable and in keeping with the growth pattern for this area.
7. Mr. Robert Tyler, 44-215 Valetta Drive, lives in the area and suggested the
Low and High Density boundaries be moved north to shorten up the buffer
zone.
8. There being no further public comment, the public hearing was closed.
9. There being no discussion, it was moved and seconded by Commissioners
Barrows/Adolph to adopt Planning Commission Resolution 95-037
recommending to the City Council certification of a Mitigated Negative
Declaration of Environmental Impact for Environmental Assessment 95-307.
ROLL CALL: AYES: Commissioners Adolph, Anderson, Barrows, Butler, Gardner,

report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development
Department.
2. Community Development Director Jerry Herman reminded the Commission
that a definition of a "Directional Bootleg Sign" was needed. The applicant
stated they were unaware of what the "Bootleg" means. They would prefer
it read "Directional Signs" only.
3. Community Development Director Jerry Herman asked for clarification on
PC9-12 6
Planning Commission Minutes
September 12, 1995
the number of signs to be placed in La Quinta. The applicant clarified seven
signs would be placed in La Quinta.
4. Mr. Gouthier clarified that the name La Quinta Sculpture Park would still be
utilized and that "Sculptureland" was only for advertising purposes as it was
a shorter name.
3. There being no questions of staff, it was moved by Commissioners
Adolph/Barrows to adopt Minute Motion 93-039 approving Special
Advertising Device 95-073, as conditioned. Unanimously approved.

1. Principal Planner Stan Sawa presented the information contained in the staff
report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development

the applicant on the submittal and encouraged staff to have future applicants
do the same.
3. Commissioner Adolph also complimented the applicant on the limited
number and location of the signs.
4. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by
Commissioners Barrows/Butler to adopt Minute Motion 95-040 approving
