PLAN FOR PROVISION OF MUNICIPAL SERVICES
ANNEXATION NO. 18
TO THE
CITY OF LA QUINTA
INTRODUCTION
This plan of services addresses public utilities, infrastructure, and public services
required to serve a proposed annexation of 11.62 t acres of land into the City of
La Quinta.
Municipal services included in this Plan include water, wastewater, law
enforcement, fire protection, parks and recreation, roadway maintenance, and
libraries.
The proposed annexation area is neither in the Sphere of Influence of the City of La
Quinta or in the City itself. It is located on the east side of Washington Street, and
south of Hidden River Road, between the major intersections of Fred Waring Drive
and 42nd Avenue. The annexation area consists of three parcels totaling 11.62
acres. To the north of Hidden River Road there is multi -family residential
development; to the south there is High Density Residential development under
construction; to the west of Washington Street there is single family residential
development; and to the -east there is vacant desert land.
MUNICIPAL SERVICES
Water
The Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) provides water service to the City.
There is currently a water line in Hidden River Road, which will -service the
proposed annexation area.
CVWD provides domestic water through the extraction of groundwater by a system
of wells drilled to depths approximately 700 to 1,300 feet. CVWD estimates water
usage for residential development at 3.97 acre-feet per acre, per year. The
proposed annexation area, at build out, would therefore consume 43.67 acre-feet
of water annually. The District's Urban Water Management Plan indicates that it
has sufficient supplies to serve the annexation area for the long term, including
plans for recharge of the aquifer.
Waste Water
CVWD also provides sanitary sewer service to the area. A sewer line on
Washington Street and Hidden River Road will serve the annexation area.
All wastewater collected north of Miles Avenue, including the proposed annexation
area, is conveyed to CVWD's treatment plant at Madison Street and Avenue 38,
north and east of the annexation area. The plant currently as a capacity of
approximately five million gallons per day (MGD), and is treating approximately
three mgd. Capacity is therefore sufficient to accommodate the annexation area.
Solid .Waste
Burtec Waste Industries provides solid waste disposal services to the proposed
annexation area, including solid waste collection, recycling programs, and
household hazardous waste disposal for residential customers within La Quinta.
Waste is taken to a transfer station located at Edom Hill, and from this location to
one of several regional landfills, including the Lambs Canyon, Badlands, or El
Sorbrante landfills, located west of the City.
Roadways
Washington Street is classified as a major arterial in the La Quinta General Plan and
provides the only access to Hidden River Road. Washington Street is currently
developed to its ultimate right of way of six lanes.
Law Enforcement
The Riverside County Sheriff's Department, under contract to the City, currently
serves the proposed annexation area. The Sheriff's Department operates a station
on Dr. Carreon Boulevard in Indio, as well a community policing office on Avenue
Bermudas in La Quinta. The Sheriff's Department staffs 43 sworn officers and
support personnel for the City. Services include street patrols, traffic enforcement,
special enforcement teams, school resource officer, and gang and narcotics
enforcement teams. Current response times within the City and the annexation
area is approximately 5 minutes.
Fire Protection
Fire protection services are currently provided to the proposed annexation area by
the Riverside County Fire Department, under contract with the City.. The
Department operates three fire stations in the City, including the newly completed
Station #93, located approximately two miles southeast of the annexation area.
Response time to the annexation area would be expected to be about 5 minutes.
The City maintains mutual aid agreements with surrounding communities, to assure
adequate service in an emergency.
Parks and Recreation
There are 104.48 acres of developed parkland in the City, which are owned and
maintained by the City. In addition to parks, the City also operates a 10,000 square
foot senior center, a 20,000 square foot library (see below), and a 6,000 square
foot museum. In addition, two parks are planned for the future, totaling 37.3 acres.
in proximity to the annexation area is Adams Park, located adjacent to Fire Station
#93, approximately one mile from the annexation area.
The General Plan encourages the development of 3 acres of parkland for every
1,000 residents. With an ultimate population of 458 persons, the annexation area
would generate the need for 0.46 acre of park land.
The City's Community Services Department provides recreational activities for the
City, including programs for children and adults.
The City funds additional park facilities through two mechanisms. The purchase of
land for parks is provided for in the City's Quimby Ordinance, which requires the
purchase of land, or payment of in lieu fees, for new projects. In the case of the
annexation area, both parcels will be required to pay in lieu fees for the purchase of
park land. The fee is based on appraised values at the time that tract maps are
recorded, and therefore varies. In addition, the City charges a Development Impact
Fee, .payable at the issuance of building permits. Development on the southerly
portion of the annexation area will be required to pay the required Quimby and
Development Impact fees.
In addition to City parks, the Coachella Valley Recreation and Parks District
operates and maintains four parks in the City, including the La Quinta Community
Park/Community Center, Fritz Burns Park, the Coral Mountain Regional Park, and
the Lake Cahuilla County Park. These facilities total 1,479.2 acres.
Schools
The annexation area is within the boundary of the Desert Sands Unified School
District. The District operates three elementary schools, three middle schools and
one high school in the City. The District opened a new middle school adjacent to
the annexation area for the 2006 school year, and also operates the Amelia Earhart
Elementary School, the John Glenn Middle School, and the La Quinta High School
within the City limits.

The La Quinta Library is located in the
Estado, approximately five miles south
20,000 square foot library, completer i
Riverside Library System.
