FROM:
PLANNING
& DEVELOPMENT
DEPARTMENT
DATE: OCTOBER 27, 1992
SUBJECT: ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 92-030
REQUIREMENTS FOR FUGITIVE DUST CONTROL
BACKGROUND:
Staff has been working with CVAG's Technical Working Group for
PM10 over the last year to develop the subject ordinance, which
is necessary for all cities to adopt in order to allow EPA to
issue final approval of the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for
PM10 in the Coachella Valley. The SIP sets forth measures
intended to bring the valley into attainment with State Ambient
Air Quality Standards for PM10. The Coachella Valley is
currently a non -attainment area; continued noncompliance with
standards could result in sanction, such as FHWA funds a
possible development moratoriums imposed through EPA.
REQUEST:
Staff requests a continuance
10, 1992 in order to further
the City Attorney additional
proposed ordinance. A full
next meeting.
RECOMMENDATION:
to your next meeting on November
refine the ordinance and to allow
time to complete review of the
report will be before you at the
Move to continue consideration of Zoning Ordinance Amendment
92-030 to the next regular meeting of November 10, 1992.

STAFF REPORT
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
DATE: OCTOBER 27, 1992
CASE NO: ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT 92-031
APPLICANT: CITY OF LA, QUINTA
REQUEST: AMEND SECTIONS 9.90.072 C-V-P "PARK" SUBZONE AND
9.90.074 C-V-N "NORTH" SUBZONE BY LISTING GROUP 10 USES
UNDER THE PERMITTED USES SECTION RATHER THAN THE
CONDITIONAL USE SECTION. THIS ACTION WOULD PERMIT
LIVE ENTERTAINMENT AS A PERMITTED USE.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council on October 6, 1992, directed Staff to start the Amendment process to consider
amending the Park and North Subzones by listing Group 10 uses under the permitted uses
section rather than the Conditional Use Section.
Currently, of the five subzones (Park, North, Tampico, Core and South) the Park and North
Subzones identify Group 10 uses as conditional uses, the Tampico Subzone prohibits Group 10
uses and the Core and South Zones as permitted uses.
Group 10 uses include food service uses plus indoor and patio services (no drive-in or drive-
thru), on site alcoholic beverage consumption, live entertainment (indoors), live or recorded
entertainment outdoors, dance floor, and recreational accessory use. Restrictions may be applied
to the use pertaining to hours of operation, noise, capacity, size of group and acoustic versus
electronic amplification. Examples include restaurant, cocktail lounge, bar and grill, night club,
cafe, coffee house, pizza with wine and beer.
In addition, regulations found in Chapter 5.12 must also be complied with if dancing is
proposed.
ANALYSIS:
1. This Amendment does not eliminate the specific review process for Group 10 uses.
2. Enough restrictions exist within the Group 10 category to address compatibility of
adjacent uses.
PCST.083 1
3. Two of the five existing Village Subzones permit Group 10 uses without requiring a
conditional use permit.
4. The Park Subzone is adjacent to residential uses and as such outdoor entertainment
should be prohibited.
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to adopt Planning Commission Resolution 92- recommending to the City Council
approval of the Amendment as illustrated in Exhibit "A".
PCST.083 2

STAFF REPORT
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
DATE: OCTOBER 27, 1992
CASE NO: SIGN APPROVAL 92-182
APPLICANT: PAYLESS SHOESOURCE STORES
SIGN COMPANY: FEDERAL SIGN
REQUEST: APPROVAL. OF A SIGN PROGRAM DEVIATION FOR A STORE IN
THE 111 LA QUINTA CENTER.
LOCATION: WITHIN SHOPPING CENTER ON NORTH SIDE OF HIGHWAY 111
BETWEEN WASHINGTON STREET AND ADAMS STREET
BACKGROUND:
Payless Shoesource is renting a shop in this center just to the west of Wal-Mart. Because
Payless Shoesource is a large chain, they are requesting to utilize their standard sign which does
not comply with the sign program which was adopted for this center. In approving the sign
program for the center, a provision was included to allow national or regional tenants with more
than five outlets to use their standard sign with approval from the Design Review Board and
Planning Commission.
APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL:
The applicant's sign is a standard sign utilized for all of their stores. The letter style is
somewhat "Ancient Eqyptian" (see attached exhibits) using capital and lower case letters, rather
than the Helvetica light which was approved for the center. The sign color proposed is a
medium yellow for all the letter faces except the "O"'s which are a burnt orange color. The
trim cap and returns are black.
Because the rental space is on a corner where the shops jog back, there is frontage facing both
the south and west (see site plan on attached exhibit). Because of this, the applicant is
requesting one sign for each frontage. The proposal as shown on the submitted plans indicates
one main sign facing south onto the parking lot with letters that would be 20-inches high for the
capital letters with the length being 21-feet long (35 square feet). The secondary sign which
faces west onto the covered walkway area is proposed to be a maximum 13-inches in height with
the length 13-feet 10-inches (15 square feet). The sign design, colors, materials, for the second
sign would be the same as the main sign. The location of both of these signs would be the
horizontal facia of the covered walkway as stipulated in the approved sign program.
PCST.os2
APPROVED SIGN PROGRAM PROVISIONS:
The approved sign program allows maximum 24 inch high letters with the length being 75 % of
the frontage up to a maximum of 50 square feet. The approved letter style is Helvetica light or
as approved by the City. Approved colors are white, red, blue, green, yellow, or as approved
by the developer and City through a modification. The approved material color is a plexi-glass
face, matte black painted aluminum can and internally illuminated individual letters. As
previously noted, national or regional tenants with more than five outlets are allowed to use their
standard sign if approved by the Design Review Board and Planning Commission. Additionally
for national tenants only one color per sign, other than the logo, is allowed unless specifically
approved.
DESIGN REVIEW BOARD ACTION:
The Design Review Board reviewed this item at their meeting of October 7, 1992. Discussion
varied from whether the second smaller sign should be permitted at all to whether the signs
should be the same size and both internally illuminated. The sign representative indicated that
18-inch high letters were available. After discussion, the Design Review Board voted 4-1
(Wright voting no) to recommend approval of both signs internally illuminated with each sign
being the same size (18" high) with a maximum of 50 square feet total.
STAFF COMMENTS:
For shops along the main portion of the shopping center, the Staff's intention of the sign
program was to allow only one sign per business. The Applicant has requested approval of a
second sign because the building frontage jogs creating two perpendicular facia surfaces. Staff
believes that only one main sign facing south is warranted. If a second sign is deemed
acceptable, Staff would recommend that it be the under canopy pedestrian identification sign
which is allowed by the program (see attached exhibit for minor tenant secondary signs). This
sign would be maximum 3-1/2 square feet and be constructed of a wood or wood -like material.
However, Staff believes that should it be determined that a second primary sign is warranted,
Staff still feels that the second sign facing west not be illuminated. The Design Review Board
staff report is attached for your review.
RECOMMENDATION:
By Minute Motion 92- , the Planning Commission should take action to approve the sign
deviation for Payless Shoesource.

DATE: OCTOBER 7, .1992
CASE NO: SA 92-182
APPLICANT: PAYLESS SHOESOURCE STORES
SIGN DEVIATION FOR I I I LA QUINTA CENTER
SIGN COMPANY: FEDERAL SIGN COMPANIES
LOCATION: NORTH SIDE OF HIGHWAY
STREET AND ADAMS STREET
BACKGROUND:
FILE COPY
III BETWEEN WASHINGTON
Payless Shoesource stores is renting a shop in this center just to the west of Wal-Mart. Because
Payless Shoessource is a large chain, they are requesting to utilize their standard sign which does
not comply with the sign program which was adopted for this center. In approving the sign
program for the center, a provision was included to allow national or regional tenants with more
than five outlets to use their standard sign with approval from the Design Review Board and
Planning Commission.
APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL:
The applicant's sign is a standard sign utilized for all of their stores. The letter style is
somewhat "Ancient Eqyptian" (see attached exhibits) using capital and lower case letters, rather
than the Helvetica which was approved for the center. The sign color proposed is a medium
yellow for all the letter faces except the "O"'s which are a burnt orange color. The trim cap
and returns are black.
Because the rental space is on a corner where the shops jog, there is frontage facing both the
south and west (see attached exhibit). Because of this, the applicant is requesting one sign for
each frontage. The sign facing south onto the parking lot would be 20-inches high for the
capital letters and 21-feet long (35 square feet). The second sign which faces west onto the
walkway area is proposed to be a maximum 13-inches in height and 13-feet 10-inches in length
(15 square feet). The sign color, materials, and style would be the same as the main sign. The
location of these signs would be the facia of the covered walkway.
APPROVED SIGN PROGRAM[ PROVISIONS:
The approved sign program allows maximum 24 inch high letters with the length being 75 % of
the frontage up to a maximum of 50 square feet. The approved letter style is Helvetica light or
as approved by the City. Approved colors are white, red, blue, green, yellow, or as approved
DR13ST.064
by the developer and City through a modification. The approved material color is a plexi-glass
face, matte black painted aluminum can and internally illuminated individual letters. As
previously noted, national or regional tenants with more than five outlets are allowed to use their
standard sign if approved by the Design Review Board and Planning Commission. Additionally
for national tenants only one color per sign, other than the logo, is allowed unless specifically
approved.
ANALYSIS:
The approved sign program does not specifically specify whether the letter style is to be all
capital letters or capital and small letters. However, the approved exhibit does show the sign
area with all capital letters. The proposed sign color is yellow as allowed by the sign program.
The orange "O" is not an approved color, however it can be approved by a modification. The
sign which faces south does comply with the sign program with regards to its size.
The intention of the approved sign program was to allow only one sign per business for the
shops in this area. The applicant has requested approval of a second sign because of a jog in
the store front area which creates two facia surfaces. Staff feels that only one main sign facing
south is warranted. If a second sign is deemed acceptable, Staff would recommend that it be
under the canopy identification sign that is allowed by the sign program (see attached exhibit for
minor tenant secondary signs). This sign would be a maximum 3.5 square feet and be
constructed of a wood or wood -like material. However, should it be determined that a second
sign is warranted, Staff would recommend that the second sign facing west not be illuminated.
RECO:yMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the sign as requested facing south be approved and that the second sign
facing west be deleted.

RE:
T.J.'s Pizza Company
Dance Program for La Quinta
Youth
The La Quinta Chamber of Commerce Village at La Quinta
Advisory Council reconvened October 13, 1992. On the agenda
was the proposed Dance Parties to be held at TJ's Pizza
Company in La Quinta. The advisement was made that approval
had been given for one dance per month to be held for the
next three consecutive months. During this "probationary"
period, City staff has been directed to proceed with
investigation and coordination of changing existing City
ordinances. The completion of this process would allow for
TJ's to have weekly dances without the financial burden and
other ordinance entanglements which currently preclude this
activity. Much discussion ensued within the Advisory
Council. A consensus was reached.
The Village at La Quinta Advisory Council has reservations
with regard to these dances and we respectfully request that
during the next 3 months:
1) The activities are monitored closely by several
different entities in the community (i.e. fire
department, health department, ABC, RSO, Coachella
Valley youth related entities, etc.) to ensure that
the conduct in and around the dance location is
acceptable, to above mentioned entities as well as
surrounding businesses and/or residences (in
reasonable proximity)
2) That loitering in the nearby community park does
not become a problem
3) That this event does not draw more of a delinquent
kind of youth population to our city (which cannot
be admitted into the dance due to space
POST OFFICE BOX 255.51-351 AVENIDA BERMUDAS 9 LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA 92253 9 (619) 564-3199

4) That insight, advise and evaluation are sought from
all entities previously mentioned in item #1 and
used to make a reasonable, rational decision as to
whether these dances are producing the desired and
designed goals proposed by the proprietor of
T.J. 's Pizza Company.
We appreciate your consideration of these requests and look
forward to your response.

October 27, 1992
Dear Sir,
I have just been informed at 12:30 p.m. on October 27, 1992 that
there is a meeting on an amendment to a zoning ordinance that
indirectly affects property I own and will ultimately directly affect
said property. I was not notified of the meeting even though I had
made a special trip to the city offices and explictly requested that
I be notified of ail Council and Planning Commission meetings,
in the past I or my partners have traveled to La Ouinta from Los
Angeles to appear at these meetings. It is too late for me to do
so now however I want to go on record that I strongly object to
live entertainment being permitted on 9.90.074, c v-n "north"
subzone. We have repeatedly requested that our property on Tampico
which is west and contigious to City Hall and north of two lots owned by
the city and south of the commercial property on Tampico, be zoned
commercial to permit development.
It is inconceivable that you could expect us to encourage live
entertainment across from property that you continue to limit to
residential zoning, if you are considering the long range plan for the
Village at La Quint& we are certainly a lone residential pocket surrounded
by property being used for commercial purposes.
i would appreciate being advised of any meetings dealing with the
General Plan of La Quinta, the General Plan for the villiange of La
Quinta or changes to zoning or ordinances.
Sincerely,
Adeeb G. Sadd
