APPLICANT: KSL RECREATION CORPORATION, INC. OWNER: KSL LAND COMPANY, INC. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS: THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR HAS DETERMINED THAT THIS TENTATIVE TRACT MAP HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN ASSESSED FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS DURING CONSIDERATION OF SPECIFIC PLAN 85-006 OF WHICH THIS TRACT IS A PART. THEREFORE, NO FURTHER REVIEW IS DEEMED NECESSARY. THIS PROJECT IS REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE MITIGATION MEASURES ESTABLISHED AT THE TIME OF SPECIFIC PLAN 85-006 APPROVAL AND SUBSEQUENT REVISIONS. GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (3 TO 5 DWELLINGS PER ACRE) ZONING/SPECIFIC PLAN: R-2 (MULTIPLE FAMILY DWELLINGS) BACKGROUND: This request was originally advertised and scheduled for the December 12, 1995, Planning Commission meeting, however, no public hearings were held due to the lack of a quorum. The request was readvertised for the January 9, 1996, meeting. At the January 9, 1996 meeting, the applicant requested a continuance to work with the Public Works Department in resolving their concern regarding Condition #51. The applicant has not contacted the Public Works Department, therefore, the condition is not modified. PCSTLM.001 The applicant is requesting a third time extension for the last phase, Phase 9, of Tract Map 24890. Phase 9 is located along the northern perimeter of the tract (Attachment 1). The City Council, at their meeting of October 17, 1989, approved Tentative Tract 24890 to construct 377 detached custom single family dwellings and 188 duplex units. This tract is in the northern part of the Oak Tree West Specific Plan, as Specific Plan 85-006. The Citrus Golf Course runs through the tract. The unit types consist of 3 custom single family lots, 34 production units (duplex) lots and 5 lettered lots. This will be the third one-year extension for this project. Up to three one-year time extensions are allowed according to the Subdivision Ordinance. The first one-year extension of time was granted by the City Council at their meeting of October 21, 1991. No progress in recordation of the final map for the last phase had occurred at that time. A request for a second time extension was approved by the City Council on October 20, 1992, for the same reason. Senate Bill 428 provided for an automatic two-year time extension due to depressed State-wide economic considerations. Thus, a third one-year time extension did not need to be applied for until October 13, 1995. If a third and final time extension is granted for this map, the applicant would have until October 17, 1996 to record the balance of the tract. If this portion of the tract is not recorded by that date, the applicant will then have to reapply for approval of that portion of the tentative map. Oak Tree West Specific Plan consists of 404 acres divided into 564 residential lots and 93 miscellaneous lots. Also included to the south is a golf course, golf clubhouse, recreation, offices, private streets, landscaping, and a golf maintenance building. ANALYSIS: The Public Works Department requests the addition of two new conditions, No. 51 and 52. Condition # 51 formalizes an agreement between the City and the applicant concerning the timing and sequence of development of the perimeter wall and landscaping improvements. Condition #52 requires that illegally placed concrete flatwork and a golf cart gate be officially approved by the City or removed. In order to ensure compliance, the condition states that no building permits or Certificates of Occupancy will be issued within the development until this issue is resolved. The Coachella Valley Water District is the only responsible agency to submit comments for this time extension. Findings for justification of a recommendation for approval of the third one year time extension for this tentative tract map can be made and are as follows: Tentative Tract 24890, as conditionally approved, is consistent with the goals, policies, and intent of the La Quinta General Plan for land use density, the development standards of the Zoning Ordinance and the Oak Tree West Specific Plan, and the La Quinta Municipal Code, in that the housing types are characterized by one story single family detached and attached units. PCSTLM.001 2. That the design of the Tentative Tract 24890 will not cause substantial environmental damage or injury to the wildlife habitat as there is no natural habitat areas remaining on the project site. 3. That the proposed subdivision, as conditionally approved, will be developed with adequate sewer, water, drainage, and other utility systems, and therefore, it is not likely to cause serious public health problems. 4. That the proposed Tentative Tract 24890, as conditioned, will provide for adequate maintenance of all common areas and facilities, including the internal private street system, stormwater retention areas, and common landscaped areas. 5. That the design of Tentative Tract 24890 will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through the project, since alternate easements for access and for use will be previously acquired by the public. 6. That general impacts from the proposed tract were considered with the Master Environmental Assessment prepared and adopted in conjunction with the La Quinta General Plan, and were further considered during preparation of Environmental Assessment for Specific Plan 85-006. 7. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems as the project is designed to meet current health and safety codes and requirements concerning circulation, fire protection, and domestic water and sewer infrastructure. RECOMMENDATION: By adoption of attached Planning Commission Resolution 96 recommend to the City Council approval of the third one year time extension for Phase 9 of Tentative Tract 24890, subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.

Principal Planner Stan Sawa presented the information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development Department. 2. Commissioner Anderson asked if there were any working drawings to compare the design changes of the proposed units to the existing units. Principal Planner Stan Sawa displayed the plans showing the differences. 3. Chairman Abels asked how these changes complied with the Compatibility Ordinance. City Attorney Dawn Honeywell stated that this request does not fall under this ordinance because the request is being made by the same developer as the original approval under plot plan review. 4. Commissioner Newkirk asked if the original architectural design of the facades will still be available to anyone, if someone requested one. Staff stated that was true. 5. Staff reviewed each of the design schemes of the three single family house prototypes with the Commission. Discussion followed. 6. Commissioner Anderson summarized the changes proposed as being: lowered roof ridge lines, dormers eliminated, the entry tower eliminated, a deep front porch eliminated, plus other minor changes. Staff agreed that these were the general changes on the facade of the prototypes. 7. Chairman Abels stated that the trellis modification recommendation of staff was agreeable to the Commission. 8. There being no further questions of staff, Chairman Abels asked if the applicant would like to address the Commission. Gary Sorley, representing INCO Homes, spoke on behalf of the applicant. 9. Commissioner Anderson asked the applicant if the lowering of the roof ridge line was a change in the truss configuration. Mr. Sorley stated yes and explained the reasoning that with the deletion of the solid roof patio cover, they no longer required the roof configuration as originally proposed. 10. Commissioner Anderson asked if the dormer on the original plans was a true dormer. Mr. Sorley stated that on Plan 3 it was a true entry dormer. PC 1-9 Planning Commission Meeting January 9, 1996 10. Commissioner Anderson clarified their reason for the request, and asked the applicant if he thought the proposed revisions would allow them to offer the homes at a more attractive price to buyers. Mr. Sorley stated the existing units were still available at the current prices, however, the revisions would allow them to reduce the unit price to stimulate sales. Both options would still be available. 11. Commissioner Anderson stated his concern that some of the original units offered a front porch. He was sad to see the front porch eliminated as he felt it would stimulate a more neighborly feeling. He had no problem with the other changes and understood the developer was trying to provide a unit that the market will bear but did not want to lose this design amenity. 13. Chairman Abels clarified that the original plans were being offered if the buyer was interested. Commissioner Anderson stated that he was concerned that the market demand would generate more of the units without the porch which he felt would not be advantageous to the area. 14. There being no further discussion, it was moved by Commissioners Barrows,/Newkirk to adopt Minute Motion 96-002 to approve the architectural design scheme as presented. Unanimously approved. Community Development Director Jerry Herman informed the Commission that the Resolution and Minutes Motions as approved would reflect the numbering starting with 96-001. VI. CONSENT CALENDAR A. Commissioner Barrows asked that the minutes of December 12, 1995, be amended on Page 3, 411, the last sentence to read, "The firm chosen could consider using this type of plant material."

Also #8 to read "...the landscaping which was organic and happenstance was more attractive." There being no further corrections, it was moved and seconded by Commissioners Barrows/Butler to approve the minutes as corrected. Unanimously approved. B There being no corrections to the minutes of December 19, 1995, it was moved and seconded by Commissioners Barrows/Newkirk to approve the minutes as submitted. Unanimously approved. PC 1-9 Planning Commission Meeting January 9, 1996 VII. COMMISSIONER ITEMS A. Chairman Abels asked that each of the Commissioners notify staff if they planned to attend the League of California Cities Planning Commissioners Institute in Long Beach as soon as possible so that arrangements could be made. B. Chairman Abels briefly discussed the agenda for the Joint Meeting with the City Council agenda and noted the changes. The meeting would be held in the Session Room and staff would add Affordable Housing Per the Redevelopment Law and Highway l I l corridor uses. C. Chairman Abels noted that the annual list showing which Planning Commissioner was to attend the City Council meetings had not been distributed. Therefore, no one had attended the last City Council meeting and no report would be given. Community Development Director Jerry Herman informed the Commission that the vacant position on the Commission should be made at the January 16th Council meeting. D. Chairman Abels asked if any of the Commissioners would be attending the IES APA Program. Commissioners were to notify staff as soon as possible so that arrangements could be made. VIII.
