TOWNSHIP 5, SOUTH, RANGE 7 EAST, SAN BERNARDINO BASE AND MERIDIAN. AS SHOWN BY UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT SURVEY; EXCEPTING THEREFROM THE EASTERLY 30 FEET FOR ROAD PURPOSES. WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did on the 7th day of February, 1989, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider the Applicant's request and recommendation of the Planning Commission concerning Tentative Tract 23971 and made findings to justify the approval of the application; and, WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, did on the 3rd_day of July 1990, approve the final map for Tract 23935-1 and 23935-2; and, WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta did on the 16th day of April, 1991, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing and approve the first one year extension of time; and, RESOPC.037/CS -1- WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta did on the 28th day of April, 1992, consider the :request of Santa Rosa Developers for approval of a second one year extension of time; and, WHEREAS, said tentative map has complied with the requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" (County of Riverside, Resolution No. 82-213, adopted by reference in City of La Quinta Ordinance No. 5), in that a Negative Declaration has been adopted and therefore, no additional review is deemed necessary; and, WHEREAS, mitigation of various physical impacts have been identified and incorporated into the approval conditions for Tentative Tract 23935, Second Extension of Time, thereby requiring that monitoring of those mitigation measures be undertaken to assure compliance with them; and, WHEREAS, the owners, Santa Rosa Development, have applied for this second extension of time for Tract 23935, in accordance with Section 13.16.230 of the La Quinta Municipal Code relating to time extension on tentative maps Extensions of Time; and, WHEREAS, at said Public Meeting, said Planning commission did find the following facts to justify recommending approval of said Tentative Tract Map Second Extension of 'rime: 1. That Tentative Tract No. 23935, as conditionally approved, is generally consistent with the goals, policies and intent of the La Quinta General Plan for land use density, unit type, circulation requirements, R-1 zoning district development standards, and design requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. 2. That the subject site has a rolling topography because of the sand dunes, with the overall slope going from northern to the southeastern and southwestern side of the property. The proposed circulation design and single-family lot layouts, as conditioned, are, therefore, suitable for the proposed land division. 3. That the design of Tentative Tract Map No. 23935 may cause substantial environmental damage or injury to the wildlife habitat of the Coachella Valley Fringe -Toed Lizard, but mitigation measures in the form of fees for a new habitat area will lessen this impact. 4. That the design of the subdivision, as conditionally approved, will be developed with public sewers and water, and, therefore, is not likely to cause serious public health problems. fVt , RESOPC.037/CS -2- 5. That the design of Tentative Tract Map No. 23935 will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through the project, since alternate easements for access and for use have been provided that are substantially equivalent to those previously acquired by the public. 6. That the proposed Tentative Tract No. 23935, as conditioned, provides for adequate maintenance of the landscape buffer areas. 7. That the proposed Tentative Tract 23935, as conditioned, provides storm water retention, park facilities, & noise mitigation. 8. That general impacts from the proposed tract were considered within the MEA prepared and adopted in conjunction with the La Quinta General Plan. WHEREAS, in the review of this Tentative Tract Map, the Planning Commission has considered the effect of the contemplated action of the housing needs of the region for purposes of balancing the needs against the public service needs of the residents of the City of La Quinta and its environs with available fiscal and environmental resources; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California, as follows: 1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of the Commission in this case; 2.

BLAISDELL LOCATION: WEST SIDE OF EISENHOWER DRIVE, 208 FEET SOUTH OF CALLE TAMPICO (51-125 EISENHOWER DRIVE) REQUEST: TO REDUCE THE LOT SIZE OF AN EXISTING PARCEL FROM 5,000 SQ . FT. TO 4400 SQ . FT. IN AN SR ( SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL) ZONE DISTRICT BY ADJUSTING THE COMMON PROPERTY LINE BETWEEN TWO PROPERTIES.

MOONEY) . EAST: ACROSS EISENHOWER DRIVE; DOWNTOWN VILLAGE COMMUNITY PARK. WEST: FRONTING AVENIDA VELASCO; EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOME. PCST.049 1 ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: BACKGROUND: THE LA QUINTA PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT COMPLETED AN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ON THE PROJECT WHICH SHOWS NO SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE EFFECT TO THE ENVIRONMENT. A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION (SECTION 15305, CLASS 5) HAS BEEN PREPARED. A nine year old 8 unit apartment complex is located at 51-099 Eisenhower Drive to the north of the subject property. The apartment complex is owned by Mr. Jack Faulkner. The two lots to the south are owned by Mr. George Mooney who is developing a zero lot line development at 51-125 and 52-155 Eisenhower Drive. Mr. Mooney's project was approved in 1989 and construction began on the property approximately 4 months ago. The two homes should be finaled within the next two months. The development is the only common property line project in the Cove area. In 1989 the City approved an SR Adjustment (Case #89-002) which allowed Mr. Mooney to build his duplex style project with unit sizes being 750 sq. ft. instead of 1200 sq. ft. Mr. Mooney and Mr. Faulkner have requested that the Planning Commission allow them to adjust their common property line between each of their projects, as well as permit Mr. Mooney's lot (Lot 5) to be less than the minimum 5000 sq. ft. in size. (The adjusted lot size would be 44 feet by 100 feet in size.) Presently, portions of Mr. Faulkner's apartment complex are located on Mr. Mooney's property (see the attached site plan) . ANALYSIS: The SR Zone code standards presently require all newly developed lots to be 7,200 sq. ft. or larger. However, existing subdivision lots are permitted to be built on if they are 5,000 sq. ft. Mr. Mooney's lot is presently 5,000 sq. ft., the smallest allowed by the SR provisions. The primary reason for the request is to restructure the side yard areas between Mr. Mooney's property and Mr. Faulkner's property based on existing and proposed improvements. Presently, Mr. Faulkner's apartment complex encroaches on to Mr. Mooney's property by approximately two feet. This was reaffirmed when Mr. Mooney had his property surveyed for his duplex development. The following options are available to the Applicants to resolve this dilemma: 1. Mr. Faulkner could demolish the portion of the apartment complex which is located on Mr. Mooney's parcel. No public hearing is required. Staff would coordinate the process. 2. Mr. Mooney could offer an easement to Mr. Faulkner for the portion of the building which encroaches onto his property with the Building and Safety Department approval. No public hearing is required. Staff would coordinate the process. PCST.049 2 3. The Applicants can file a variance request to reduce the lot size of Mr. Mooney's parcel and pursue a lot line adjustment application to shift the property line six feet south. Staff cannot reduce the size of a lot (Lot 5) less than 5,000 sq. ft. without review of the matter by the Planning Commission review. On March 12, 1992, Mr. Mooney filed a Variance application to the lot size, setbacks, and lot width, with Staff. APPLICANT'S STATEMENT AND JUSTIFICATION: The Applicant is aware of the two earlier mentioned options which would not require a variance to deviate from the SR Code standards. The justification for the request is: 1. "Since the building on the adjoining property to the north of my lot is two feet from my property line, there is a need for exceptional action so that I can build a fence on my property line not inconsistent with the availability of reasonable access to the property directly north of my lot . " 2. "..... unless such is granted, both of us would be denied normal and expected use of our respective properties. Further there would be no undue hardship for neighbors, etc., nor would the City be creating a precedent harmful or injurious, or of a'high frequency nature'." VARIANCE PROVISIONS OF THE ZONING CODE: Section 9.168 of the Zoning Code states: "Basis for variance. A. Variances from the term of this title may be granted when, because of special circumstances applicable to a parcel of property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of this title deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity that is under the same zoning classification. B . A variance shall not be granted for a parcel of property which authorizes a use or activity that is not otherwise expressly authorized by the zone regulation governing the parcel of property, but shall be limited to modifications of property development standards, such as lot size, lot coverage, yards, and parking and landscape requirements. " CONCLUSION: Staff believes that the existing structures on both properties necessitate a special circumstance primarily because Mr. Faulkner's building is on Mr. Mooney's property. If Staff recommended demolishing a portion of Mr. Faulkner's building which encroaches, it would degrade both the existing character of the building and degrade the aesthetic quality of the neighborhood. If the variance is granted, it will eliminate the legal problems between both properties which is present today. Further, the new sideyard property line on Mr. Mooney's parcel will be greater than five feet wide which is typical for 50-foot by 100-foot SR developments (e. g. , single family homes) . PCST.049 3 IJ Granting of the Variance will not affect General Plan Policy 6.2.1 which states that "All new developments shall conform to the building intensity (as defined by the density range) shown on the Land Use Plan Map. Overall base density of the Development shall not exceed the maximum density for the site, .....". The density of the site will not be affected by this action since only one home is permitted per individual lot. PUBLIC NOTICE: Public notices were mailed to the property owners within 300 feet, and Staff did not receive any negative comments on the request prior to the meeting. Staff does not believe that granting the variance will be detrimental to the neighborhood, nor create a hazardous situation for existing or future property owners' or tenants.

DRAWER 1705, PALM DESERT, CA 92261 (619) 568-0428 (619) 346-7415 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 92- A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, ANNOUNCING FINDINGS AND GRANTING A VARIANCE FROM THE MINIMUM LOT SQUARE FOOTAGE REQUIREMENT, LOT WIDTH AND SETBACK REQUIREMENTS CASE NO. VAR 92-022 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California, did on the 28th day of April, 1992, hold a duly -noticed Public Hearing to consider the request of George Mooney for a Variance to Chapter 9.42.050 of the La Quinta Municipal Code (LQMC), to deviate from the SR (Special Residential) standards by creating a parcel size less than 5,000 square feet, less than 50 feet wide, and to create a five foot sideyard setback for a zero lot line single family home, located on the west side of Eisenhower Drive and 208 feet south of Calle Tampico, more particularly described as: LOTS 5, BLOCK 127 SANTA CARMELITA AT VALE IN LA QUINTA, UNIT #14, PAGE 14 IN MAP BOOK 18/82-83 WHEREAS, said Variance request has complied with the requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" as amended and adopted by Resolution 83-68, in that the Planning Director conducted an initial study, and has determined that the proposed project will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment, and a categorical exemption has been prepared; and WHEREAS, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said Planning Commission did find the following facts and reasons to justify the granting of said Variance: 1. The strict application of the Special Residential Zone Code requirements to the subject property will deprive the applicant, George Mooney, of the privilege to enjoy his property in a similar fashion to other surrounding property owner's without having any legal encumbrances on his property which could cloud his property title in the future based on existing facts. 2. The finished lot (4,400 square feet) will provide the same outdoor recreation opportunities as a typical home and all other provisions of the SR Zone Code can be met. Since the purpose and intent of the setback standard is to provide design guidelines, requirements may be reasonably attained by special conditions of approval. 3. Approval of the Variance, as conditioned, will not constitute the granting of any special privileges inconsistent with limitations on other similarly zoned property in the area. RESOPC.070 1 4. The Conditions of Approval will assure that the integrity of the Village Specific Plan will be upheld and this action will not negatively affect adjacent parcels. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California, as follows: 1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of the Commission in this case. 2. That it does hereby confirm the conclusion of the Categorical Exemption 15305, Class 5 which indicated that approval of the Variance would not constitute a significant impact on the environment. 3. That it does hereby grant said Variance 92-022 for the reasons set forth in this Resolution and subject to the attached conditions.

BACKGROUND: This Tentative Tract was originally approved by City Council on April 17, 1990. A Change of Zone was processed concurrently with Tentative Tract. Map 25691 in 1990. The zone change from R-1- 12000/PD to R-1 effectively reduced the minimum square footage required for each lot. CS/STAFFRPT.001 1 �i The net density for this application is 4.24 dwelling units per acre based on 39 lots (Lot 39 is the retention basin), which falls just above the upper range of the General Plan designation for this area (2-4 dwelling units per acre). The development character of this project will be approximately the same as envisioned to result from development in strict accordance with the General Plan density provision. The net density of the project excluding the retention basin is 4.13 dwellings per acre. A comparison of lot sizes in the vicinity shows the following: LOCATION IN TRACT # RELATION TO MIN. SIZE AVG.

CASE NO. TT 25691 - RICHARD L. DEMAN 1ST EXTENSION OF TIME WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, did, on the 27th day, of March, 1990, hold a duly -noticed Public Hearing recommending confirmation of the environmental analysis and approval of the request of Richard L. Deman to subdivide +9 acres into 39 single-family development lots for sale, generally located on the north side of Miles Avenue 1/4 Mile west of Jefferson Street, more particularly described as: THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER OF THE SOUTHWEST QUARTER OF THE NORTHEAST QUARTER OF SECTION 20, TOWNSHIP 5 SOUTH, RANGE 7 EAST, SAN BERNARDINO BASE AND MERIDIAN. WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did, on the 17th day of April, 1990, hold a duly -noticed Public Hearing to consider and approve the Applicant's request and recommendation of the Planning Commission concerning the environmental analysis and Tentative Tract Map No. 25691; and, WHEREAS, the Applicant applied on March 9, 1992, for a one year extension of time for Tentative Tract 25691; and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, did, on the 28th day of April, 1992, hold a duly -noticed Public Hearing to consider recommending approval of the 1st Extension of Time request of Mr. Richard L. Deman per the City's subdivision regulations to the City Council; and, WHEREAS, said Tentative Map has complied with the requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" as amended, per Resolution No. 83-68, adopted 'by the City of La Quinta, in that the Planning Director conducted an initial study, and has determined that the proposed Tentative 'Tract will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment and a Negative Declaration was prepared in 1990; and, WHEREAS, mitigation of various physical impacts have been identified and incorporated into the approval conditions for Tentative Tract 25691, thereby requiring that monitoring of those mitigation measures be undertaken to assure compliance with them; and, CS/RESOPC.036 - 1 WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said Planning Commission did find the following facts to justify recommending approval of said Tentative Tract Map: 1. That Tentative Tract No. 25691, 1st Extension of Time, as conditionally approved, is consistent with the goals, policies, and intent of the La Quinta General Plan for land use density in that the property is designated for low density development, circulation requirements, and the proposed R-1 zoning district development standards, and the design requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. 2. That the subject site has a rolling topography due to sand dunes, and the proposed circulation design and single-family lot layouts, as conditioned, are, therefore, suitable for the proposed land division. 3. That the design of Tentative Tract map No. 25691 may cause substantial environmental damage or injury to the wildlife habitat of the Coachella Valley Fringe -Toed Lizard, but mitigation measures in the form of fees for a new habitat area will lessen this impact. 4. That the design of the subdivision, as conditionally approved, will be developed with public sewers and water, and, therefore, is not likely to cause serious public health problems. 5. That the design of Tentative Tract Map No. 25691 will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through the project, since alternate easements for access and for use have been provided that are substantially equivalent to those previously acquired by the public. 6. That the proposed Tentative Tract No. 25691, as conditioned, provides for adequate maintenance of the landscape buffer areas, parking area and storm water retention and other common areas. 7. That the proposed Tentative Tract No. 25691, as conditioned, will provide storm water retention, park facilities, and noise mitigation as required by the La Quinta General Plan. 8. That general impacts from the proposed tract were considered within the MEA prepared and adopted in conjunction with the La Quinta General Plan, and were further considered during preparation of Environmental Assessment No. 90-156 and its required monitoring program to be implemented by the Applicant. CS/RESOPC.036 - 2 - WHEREAS, in the review of this Tentative Tract Map, the Planning Commission has considered the effect of the contemplated action of the housing needs of the region for purposes of balancing the needs against the public service needs of the residents of the City of La Quinta and its environs with available fiscal and environmental resources.

In December of 1991, Mr. Cook was appointed Receiver or Manager for the property on the behalf of the Resolution Trust Corporation. ORIGINAL APPROVAL: This tentative tract was approved by the City Council on June 6, 1989 subject to conditions. Those conditions are attached for your review.

There being no questions of Staff, Chairwoman Barrows opened the Public Hearing. Mr. John Guenther, applicant, gave a detailed report as to how he felt this problem had evolved. 3. Commissioner Marrs questioned Mr. Guenther as to how this could happen when all the way through the process, his foreman had been warned that the house exceeded the height limit. Mr. Guenther stated how Mr. Rhodes, his foreman, had researched with the different contractors involved and everyone felt the height would not exceed the limit. He stated this was not a deliberate attempt to violate the height limit but a series of errors. 4. Commissioner Ellson questioned the Applicant regarding the architect and whether he was licensed. Mr. Guenther stated he was not a licensed architect but had drawn several hundred homes in La Quinta and was very qualified. 5. Mr. Wade Fuchs, FSB Construction, the framing contractor explained why he felt the roof line exceeded the limit. He also stated this was not an intentional act. Discussion followed regarding the truss design. 6. Mr. Rusty Rhodes, Job Foreman, spoke regarding the problem and how the roof got to be as high as it is and the costs involved in solving the problem. He submitted a letter from the truss company stating their assurance that the roof line would fall within the height limit. 7. There being no further discussion, Chairwoman Barrows closed the Public Hearing and opened the matter for Commission discussion. 8. Planning Director Jerry Herman inquired of the Applicant why the architect did not know what the height limit was in La Quinta. Mr. Guenther stated the architects understanding was that it was 17 feet from the finish floor of the house. 9. Commission Ellson asked if the pitch of the roof was changed would that bring the height limit within the 17 feet. Tom Hartung, Building and Safety Director stated it would. Mr. Rhodes stated that he was informed that with a 50 foot span the safety margin would not allow that. Discussion followed as to other homes in the area that were finaled with the height exceeding 17 feet. PC4-14 Planning Commission Minutes April 14, 1992 10. Commissioner Mosher asked Staff that if the findings used to determined whether the variance could be granted were City ordinances or State law. Planning Director Jerry Herman stated they were State Code. 11. Commissioner Ellson asked Staff why the plans are stamped "conditionally approved". Mr. Hartung stated this was to make the contractor aware that not all corrections can be caught during plan check. The purpose of inspections is to catch those corrections that occur as the homes are being constructed. She then asked if a packet is made available to building giving them the information they need to construct a house. Mr. Hartung stated there was a packet made available to anyone who asked for it or to those who asked general questions regarding building a home. 12. Commissioner Mosher stated his empathy for Mr. Guenther, however the Planning Commission must find exceptions to the findings in order to approve the variance. He then read the findings and stated why he felt this variance did not meet those findings. Based on this information, Commissioner Mosher moved and Commissioner Marrs seconded a motion to adopt Planning Commission Resolution 92-012 denying Variance 92-021. Chairwoman Barrows expressed her empathy and that of the Commission for Mr. Guenther in his situation and felt that Staff should review their process and see if better communication could be made to prevent this problem from reoccurring.

Commissioner Marrs asked Staff if any correspondence had been received from the surrounding neighbors regarding the adjustment. Staff responded that non had been received. 3. Commissioner Ellson inquired if there would be any problem with the location of the walls in the front yard. Staff responded that the Applicant would be conditioned to comply with all City requirements. 4. Chairwoman Barrows opened the Public Hearing. Mr. Ed Lohrbach, applicant, stated he would be sure the wall at the corner would be within the required setback. He further stated he would like to request the Commission to grant a blanket approval for all the homes they build so he would not have to go through this process with each house. Discussion followed and Staff stated this would not be possible as the City code requires that everyone within the area where the house is to be built must be notified. He further stated that the application could include more than one lot and could be notified concurrently which would help cut down on some of the processing. 5. Chairwoman Barrows asked the Applicant if the windows would be recessed. Mr. Lohrbach explained that the use of recessed windows and/or double/triple window pane, and the use of trees would all be considered and used. 6. Commissioner Ladner inquired what the price range would be. Mr. Lohrbach stated they would be $125,000 and up. 7. Mr. Michael Bangeter, resident, stated he felt this was an opportunity to relieve the property buyer financially by building this type of home and saving the cost of overhangs. He wholeheartedly approved of the home and recommended that the Planning Commission considering altering the City Code to allow more of this type of construction. He felt the Title 24 requirements would handle the City needs for stronger energy restrictions. 8. Chairwoman Barrows closed the Public Hearing as there was no one else who wished to speak. 9. Commissioner Marrs stated he had attended the Design Review Board and they had unanimously recommended approval of the project. They also discussed the issue of overhangs.
