CALL TO ORDER 3:00 P.M. A. This meeting of the Planning Commission was called to order at 4:01 P.M. by Chairman Abels. Community Development Director Jerry Herman led the flag salute. II. ROLL CALL A. Chairman Abels requested the roll call: Present: Commissioners Adolph, Butler, Gardner, Newkirk, and Chairman Abels. B. Chairman Abels stated both Commissioners Barrows and Newkirk had informed him they would be late. He therefore, moved and Commissioner Adolph seconded a motion to excuse Commissioners Barrows and Newkirk. Unanimously approved. C. Staff Present: Community Development Director Jerry Herman, City Attorney Dawn Honeywell, Building and Safety Development Director Tom Hartung, Planning Manager Christine di Iorio, Senior Engineer Steve Speer, Principal Planner Stan Sawa, and Executive Secretary Betty Sawyer. III. CONFIRMATION OF THE AGENDA: A. Chairman Abels asked if there were any changes to the Agenda. Community Development Director Jerry Herman asked that Item 3 under Commissioner Items be moved to the Workshop portion so that Building and Safety Director Tom Hartung would be available to discuss the topic with the Commissioners. IV. PUBLIC COMMENT - None V. WORKSHOP A. Discussion regarding the Uniform Building Code Title 24 Energy Standards; a review of the Energy Standards in light of the Commission's request to include a new section title "Energy Conservation Design Requirements" in the Zoning Code. PC10-24 I Planning Commission Minutes October 24, 1995 1. Community Development Director Jerry Herman informed the Commissioners that the 1994 Uniform Building Code (UBC) would be on a future Council agenda for adoption before the end of the year. As part of that adoption process, if there are local amendments to be added to the UBC, they must be taken care of during the public hearing process. This includes the energy requirements requested by the Planning Commission in the Zoning Code. 2. Building and Safety Director Tom Hartung informed the Commissioners this aspect of the Building Code has already been addressed as part of the Title 24 Energy Requirements and to add more details may make an uneven playing field for the developers. The Commissioners proposed amendments that may make other Title 24 requirements less stringent. 3. Chairman Abels asked the Building and Safety Director to clarify what areas of the Zoning Code were being affected. Staff stated it was only Section 9.50.020 of the Zoning Code. 4. Community Development Director Jerry Herman stated that if patio covers are mandated to be a minimum of 4-feet in depth, a 10-foot required rear yard in the SR Zone, the actual building is 14-feet, because the City mandated a 14-foot setback rather than a 10-foot setback. 5. Commissioner Butler asked if there were any other areas of conflict. Staff stated reiterated what the problems were in relation to the setbacks. Discussion followed. 6. Building and Safety Director Tom Hartung stated the amendments are excellent requirements, however the State has already taken these items under consideration through the designated zone and each of the 16 zones is designed to mitigate the worst case scenario. The City is in the Desert Zone, which is the most restrictive. Therefore, the Code already addresses building energy efficient dwellings. 7. Commissioner Anderson stated his concern was that these design standards are only minimum requirements. Staff stated this was no longer the case as they are required to design for the worst case scenario. 8. Chairman Abels asked staff for their recommendation. Staff requested deletion of the entire Section from the proposed Zoning Code. PC 10-24 2 Planning Commission Minutes October 24, 1995 9. Community Development Director Jerry Herman asked if the Commission could remove the wording "Energy Conservation Design Requirements" and substitute with "design requirements - every home shall have an 18-inch overhang and 12-inch recessed window if it is a flat roof'. City Attorney Dawn Honeywell stated this would still be considered building standards which are first controlled by the UBC. 10. Commissioner Newkirk asked if the section could remain until a builder/developer comes back requesting modifications because the requirements are too restrictive. Staff stated the UBC requirements are already very restrictive. 11. Commissioner Butler asked if the requirement for a shade trellis was still in the ordinance. Staff stated no. However under the Compatibility Ordinance a precedent is already set in some existing tracts. 12. Commissioner Butler asked if the requirement for recessed windows was arbitrary or an energy concern. Staff stated the use of pop -outs is for aesthetics reasons and the recess for 12-inches in depth is for energy conservation. 13. Commissioner Adolph asked if the requirements the Commission added to the draft Zoning Code are built into the Title 24 requirements. Staff stated they were. Commissioner Adolph stated he had a concern about a developer downgrading his air conditioner because Title 24 allows him to do so because he has added glazing to his windows. Staff stated that Title 24 is continually changing to cover the energy aspects of the entire house. It does take into consideration the air conditioning and the window glazing. To require portions of the house design be modified for energy efficiency and mandate it through the Zoning Code does not make it more efficient. 14. Commissioner Anderson stated he could see the effect of Items #2 and #3, and the best scenario is to cover all windows with eaves, but the trellis is important and not difficult for the developer to comply with. Staff stated the shading co -efficiency takes into consideration the depth of the eave. It takes into consideration the height of the window and the angle of the eave at which it protects the glazing. It is specific to each individual home. 15. Chairman Abels asked if there was a concurrence with the Commissioners to drop the energy requirements from the Zoning Ordinance. Unanimously approved. Chairman Abels excused himself due to a prior engagement at 4:15 P.M. Vice Chairman Gardner assumed the Chair. PC 10-24 3 Planning Commission Minutes October 24, 1995 B.

Vice Chairman Gardner recessed the meeting at 4:28 P.M. and Chairman Abels reconvened at 7:03 P.M. VI. PUBLIC COMMENT: None VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Continued Hearing on Conditional Use Permit 95-021 Plot Plan 95-564. and Environmental Assessment 95-309; a request of The Keith Companies for certification of a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impact; approval of a deviation from the development standards to reduce the gross livable area; and approval of a 35% density bonus to allow 11 units per acre, and a reduction in parking spaces for affordable housing to allow a 128 unit apartment project on Washington Street. 1. Chairman Abels explained this was a continued public hearing. Commissioners Butler and Adolph excused themselves due to possible conflicts of interest. 2. City Attorney Dawn Honeywell explained that the Commissioners withdrew, but the City does not have an actual determination as to a conflict of interest. There is a possibility of a financial impact to Commissioner Butler's wife's employer under California Code of Regulations Section 18702.2 which may exceed $10,000. Commissioner Adolph received information that a relative of his campaign manager is one of the property owners which would be selling the subject property to the applicant and therefore, even though there would probably be no financial interest to either applicant directly, both have withdrawn due to even the possibility of an appearance of a conflict of interest. PC 10-24 4 Planning Commission Minutes October 24, 1995 3. Mr. Mike Rowe, The Keith Companies, speaking on behalf of the applicant, stated he would like to clarify the condition relative to the retention basin they will look at the verbiage in the condition and will state that they can reduce the retention basin to maximize the setbacks in between the houses. Staff has recommended relocating the retention basin to the center of the project. The applicant stated they would not like to do this, but would rather reduce it in size and keep it at the northern end of the project. However, they would follow the recommendation of staff and open up the landscape areas between the buildings to show some undulation with the use of drainage swales or other means of getting the water so as not to create other areas of pockets of retention throughout the area, but do create the difference in elevation and the look of open space. 4. Commissioner Anderson asked if the applicant had seen the new condition distributed by staff. Staff read Condition #71, "That the preliminary plans including design, color, materials, finishes, etc., for the carports and any other structures, shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission as a non-public hearing item." Mr. Rowe stated he had no problem with this. Planning Manager di Iorio clarified that Condition #68 would read "the retention/detention basin shall be reduced to a minimum size that holds a 100-year 24-hour storm with a maximum 3:1 side slope," deleting "the basin shall be dispersed within the project site in more than one area," and add, "The buildings, parking, recreation area, etc., shall be interspersed with other depressed areas integral to the retention/detention basin to maximize setbacks between buildings provided." 5. Mr. Rowe clarified that the retention basin is not sized for any particular storm size. The current size of the project only requires only 4 acre feet of retention storage and currently they have 16 acre feet. However, the goal behind the retention basin is to generate fill necessary to develop the project. Discussion followed regarding the size and purpose of the retention basin. 6. Commissioner Anderson stated he understood the condition as recommended by staff would create a greater separation of the buildings by reducing the concentrated area of the basin. If the condition is written with no stipulation as to the size of the basin, then the spacing between the buildings may be compromised. 7. Chairman Abels asked staff to give their report and recommendation. Planning Manager Christine di Iorio presented the information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development Department. She went on to explain the changes the applicant requested and staff s recommendations regarding those changes. PC 10-24 5 Planning Commission Minutes October 24, 1995 8. Chairman Abels asked if the City has requirements for parking, why should the Planning Commission even consider a deviation. Planning Manager Christine di Iorio stated the Planning Commission can approve deviations if findings can be made that the reduction will not have a parking impact on the apartment complex. In addition, State law, Section 65915, allows the City to make a concession for reduced parking in an affordable housing project. It was noted that the applicant was requesting the City to reduce their requirement for parking for their two bedroom units from 2.5 to 2 while the three and four bedrooms meet City standards. 9. Chairman Abels stated the City however, is not bound by that requirement. City Attorney Dawn Honeywell stated the City does have to allow the density bonus, but whether the parking request is included is discretionary. However, the density increase of 25% (the minimum) is the minimum the City must allow if the developer meets certain criteria for the affordable housing. 10. Commissioner Anderson asked for clarification on the size of the units.. Staff stated the minimum size is 750 square feet. 11. Commissioner Gardner asked what kind of environmental mitigation studies would be necessary. Planning Manager Christine di Iorio stated an archaeological study would be required and other mitigation measures would have to be reviewed to determine what else would be needed. Commissioner Gardner asked what a "Cultural Resources Managing firm" was? Staff stated it is a firm that has a qualified archaeologist on staff. 12. Commissioner Gardner stated a noise study is required before issuance of a building permit. What noise level would be necessary before a building permit is not be issued? Community Development Director Jerry Herman stated that the General Plan requires a noise study be completed for projects on all Major Arterials. Outside areas within the complex must be less than 60 dBL to comply with requirements and the building interior must not exceed 45 dBL. A mitigation measure may require a block wall or block wall/berm combination to comply to these standards. 13. Mr. Mike Rowe stated that in regards to the retention basin, they were in favor of reducing the retention/detention basin and distribute the remaining depressed area between the buildings. He would recommend a 3.5 acre basin and a combination of drainage swells between the buildings and balance out the unit distribution. This would give a more open space feeling. PC 10-24 6 Planning Commission Minutes October 24, 1995 14. Mr. Rowe asked that the second sentence of Condition #68 be eliminated and add "...shall be interspersed with the drainage swales to maximize the setbacks between buildings...". Further, they would not like to pave the extra area, but leave it as the turfed areas, unless the need arises for additional parking. 15. Commissioner Anderson stated he too would like to see the area not paved. He asked Engineering for the exact wording of the condition. 16. Commissioner Gardner asked if the number of handicapped parking spaces was adequate for disabled people. Mr. Rowe stated that was difficult as this is what the norm is and all units will be handicap adaptable and if the need for extra stalls is necessary they will provide them. Chairman Abels asked what the State percentages are. Staff stated the project meets the State requirements. 17. Commissioner Gardner stated the State standards are a minimum and usually not adequate. Staff informed the Commission that they had the option to increase the parking if they felt it was necessary. Mr. Rowe stated they were willing to provide additional parking spaces. Discussion followed. 18. Senior Engineer Steve Speer stated the requested revision by the applicant to Condition #68 is too loose and subject to interpretation. The applicant is asking for the retention basin to be reduced without stipulating the size. The recommendation presented tonight was based on the Commission's desire to have the housing spread out. That is why staff recommended to put the depressed area in the center of the project and the water storage basin can be put to the side. The other alternative is fill import the dirt and spread out the houses. 19. Mr. John Koenig, Koenig Companies, stated he is seldom in objection to a project. Initially he was in favor of the project. However, since he has become better informed about the project issues, he now feels that the probable impact on his project will be negative because too many concessions are being requested to accommodate the project. He was concerned about the income level of the people. He felt that the parking would be a problem and the northern portion of his development would be utilized for overflow parking of the renters. This will require policing of their parking areas and arranging for the removal of the vehicles. This could potentially reduce the quality of his project. If the project cannot afford to import the dirt what other amenities will go by the wayside. PC 10-24 7 Planning Commission Minutes October 24, 1995 20. Mr. Robert Tyler, 44-215 Valletta Drive, stated he had visited the applicant's project in Cathedral City and parking is his major concern. He asked staff how many spaces are required for the three and four bedroom units? Staff stated it was provided according to Code requirements. Mr. Tyler stated that 2.5 parking spaces will not be enough. At the moment the Cathedral City development is a very nice development. At the Cathedral City development the manager lives off -site. The project needs a live-in manager. He obtained a list of the rules each of the tenants must read and sign, but most of the items are not enforceable. What happens after 15 years when the management team is no longer responsible? Residents of La Quinta do not want the minimum standards, but want to rise above them. 21. Mr. Richard Crockett, tenant of La Quinta Village Center, stated he deals with the tenants of this Center and this would be a benefit to the tenants. Mr. Crockett stated he had built several affordable housing projects in the City and there is a need for this type of housing. The City needs to address it the best we can within the law. 22. Mr. Steve Golff, USA Homes -applicant, stated he did not believe their project was a minimum type project. The number of parking spaces is a statistical figure based on past projects. They would have no objection to increasing the number of regular or handicapped parking stalls. In regards to Mr. Koenig's comments, he has never had a commercial project be a opponent to their project. As it relates to what type of impact this could have on his project, he would welcome Mr. Koenig to visit their other projects and see what the impact has been. He felt the commercial neighbors would respond that it has been a positive impact on the community and their businesses. The project in Cathedral City has only 88 units, (20 units per acre) and an on -site management staff, and the minimum number of years they will manage the units is only the minimum. 23. Chairman Abels stated the 15 years they will be managing the units is a requirement of the Federal Tax Credit Program. Mr. Golff stated that was correct. The original owner must be there for the first 15 years. 24. There being no further public comment, Chairman Abels closed the public hearing. PC I 0-24 8 Planning Commission Minutes October 24, 1995 25. Commissioner Gardner asked if the CC & R's could be required prior to issuance of a building permit. City Attorney Dawn Honeywell stated she had not seen the CC & R's and they do have something similar to the covenants, conditions, and restrictions that relate to the affordability requirements under their Federal program. The conditions should require that the City Attorney review and approve that the CC & R's to assure that affordability covenants are in place in order to grant the density benefits. 26. Chairman Abels stated he is not against this type of project, but the location is a problem. From a mixed use stand point this is a single type. Next door there is a mixed use. The Commission struggles with compatibility issues, and feels the concerns of Mr. Koenig should be addressed. Until these issues can be addressed, he would be unable to support of the project. 27. Commissioner Newkirk stated his concern about the impact on the commercial center as well as the impact on the Village area. He does not fell sure this is a viable project for this area. He has spoken to the business residents and they have mixed reactions. He understands the City is compelled to provide affordable housing but not at this location. 28. Commissioner Anderson stated that beside the problem with the retention basin, he sees no problem with the project. This is the best the City can get in an affordable project. The Commission should not be concerned with income levels, but react to the project as it conforms to the Zoning Code and other regulations of the City. 29. Commissioner Barrows stated she has some concerns, but is not opposed to the project. It is not an unsuitable project for this site, even though she has concerns regarding reduced parking standards. Commissioner Barrows asked if there was a condition requiring on -site management. City Attorney Dawn Honeywell stated that if the Commission wants to assure on -site management, it would need to be added as a separate condition. Commissioner Barrows asked how the project could be improved with respect to parking? She does not feel this is the core of the Village and therefore the project would not have an impact. 30. Chairman Abels stated he is not opposed to the use, but did not believe a mixed use should be next to the single use. 31. Commissioner Gardner stated his concern about the noise of the street having an impact on the project. He did not feel any wall would be able to deter the noise. Mr. Mike Rowe stated that the sound wall will be six feet plus, Washington Street is 15-feet above the project thereby reducing the noise. PC 10-24 9 Planning Commission Minutes October 24, 1995 levels. Commissioner Gardner stated his concern about the traffic egress coming from one street; the density is very high and the Sheriff s Department had expressed some concern. Concern was also raised about maintaining the project over the time. 32. Chairman Abels stated his concerns about the uses and did not feel he could support the project. 33. Commissioner Anderson stated he agreed with the City Engineer that the wording on Condition #68 should be tightened up and would like to see staff determine the size of the retention basin. 34. Commissioner Barrows asked if there is flexibility in regards to the percentages of the income levels. Community Development Director Jerry Herman stated tax credits are allocated to this project and therefore it would be a low and very low income project. Mr. Golff stated that 60% of the units are restricted to households incomes not in excess of 60% of the median income and 40% not in excess of 50% of the median income. 35. Chairman Abels stated that the request for a 35% density bonus is excessive when the minimum is 25%. The compatible issue was brought before the Commission last year regarding the surrounding development densities. 36. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by Commissioners Gardner/Newkirk to adopt Planning Commission Resolution 95-044 denying the mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impact. City Attorney Dawn Honeywell stated the findings for denying the project as stated by the Commissioners were as follows: a. The Planning Commission hereby finds that the General Plan Policy 2-1.1.9 criteria for allowing apartments in the Medium Density Residential Land Use designation is not met in that the proposed development does not meet the requirement in that it is not a part of a mixed -use planned development and therefore, it is not consistent with the General Plan. b. A noise study must be completed before issuance of a building permit and as a part of the EIR. C. The reduced number of parking spaces proposed does not mitigate the effects that parking will have for this project. PC I0-24 10 Planning Commission Minutes October 24, 1995 d. The amount of density bonus requested for this project as proposed, would have too great of an impact on the surrounding community and must be reviewed as part of an environmental impact report. ROLL CALL: AYES: Commissioners Gardner, Newkirk, and Chairman Abels. NOES: Commissioners Anderson and Barrows. ABSENT: Commissioners Adolph and Butler. ABSTAIN: None. The motion passed on a 3-2-2 vote. The project is denied. Commissioners Adolph and Butler rejoined the meeting. VIII. BUSINESS ITEMS A.
