Res Tentative Tract 25389 - Second Extension of Time
Dear Mr. Trousdell:

This letter is to address your request for relevant background on the project and to PwI '
provide the reasons for the second extension of time request. Engmet
Background
EmAw
semm
l
The subject property comprises the remaining unrecorded portions (Phases 3 and 4) of the W"
Desert Fairways development. Phases 1 and 2 of Tentative Tract 25389 were previously LOW
recorded as Tract 25389-1 (99 single-family lots) and Tract 25389-2 (42 single-family lots). &""
The previous developer, M.J. Brock and Sons, Inc., constructed 35 homes in Tract 25389-1. wtkV
No units have been constructed in recorded Tract 25389-2.
Water s
Oak Tree Federal Savings Bank is the lender on Phases 2 through 4. The unrecorded
phases, Phases 3 and 4, comprise approximately 25.27 acres tentatively subdivided by
°
Tentative Tract 25389 into 113 single-family residential lots. The total number of homes
within the development, including the unrecorded portions, is 254.
Reasons for Request

Mr. Greg Trousdell

January 18,1993
Due to circumstances in the national, regional, and local economies beyond their control,
the previous developer was unable to record the remaining phases of Tentative
Tract 25389. Resolution Trust Corporation and Oak Tree Federal Savings Bank are in the
process of marketing and selling this asset. In order to protect the value of the property.
Oak Tree Federal Savings Bank desires to extend the life of Tentative Tract 25389.
Thei-efore, on behalf of Oak Tree Federal Savings Bank, because an extension would be in
the public interest and would benefit the City of La Quinta and its residents by facilitating
sale and development of the property, we respectfully request an extension be granted.
Sincerely,
THE KEITH

BACKGROUND:
Anchovie's Pizza Restaurant was approved by the Planning Commission on June 16, 1992, as
a take-out restaurant. The plan identifed 203 square feet of public service area which required
four parking spaces (203 divided by 50). The Applicant has provided five spaces.
REQUEST:
The Applicant wants to provide restaurant seating within the restaurant in an area originally
shown as office. This area in conjunction with the original service area equals 318 square feet
which requires six parking spaces. Five currently exist, therefore, one additional space must
be provided. The Applicant can, as provided by the Zoning Regulations, pay into a parking
fund $4,419.00 per parking space. This money will be used to construct future parking for the
downtown.
The Applicant in order to provide sit down seating must provide separate bathroom facilities for
men and women. Currently a unisex bathroom is provided. The Applicant has requested a three
month time frame in which to provide this facility.

As a side note, the Applicant installed lights on the sides of the building without benefit of
proper permits. The lights along the eastern property line intrudes into the adjacent lot. The
Applicant is obtaining permission from this lot owner. If permission is granted, the lights on
both sides will need to be changed, because the "Dark Sky Ordinance" does not allow the use
of mercury vapor lights. The lights should be architecturally compatible with the spanish-style
building.

STAFF REPORT
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
DATE: FEBRUARY 9, 1993
CASE NO.: SIGN APPLICATION 93-195
REQUEST: DEVIATION FROM SIGN PROGRAM FOR ONE ELEVEN LA
QUINTA CENTER TO ALLOW CORPORATE SIGNAGE.
APPLICANT: BASKIN ROBBINS
SIGN COMPANY: AWARD SIGN COMPANY
LOCATION: NORTH SIDE OF HIGHWAY 111 BETWEEN WASHINGTON
STREET AND ADAMS STREET (78-520 HIGHWAY 111)
BACKGROUND:
Baskin Robbins is leasing shop space in this center at the far west end of the existing shop
buildings just east of the new AM/PM. Because Baskin Robbins is a large national chain, they
are requesting approval to utilize their standard sign which does not comply with the sign
program which was adopted for the center. In approving the sign program, a provision was
included to allow national 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 one of their several standard signs utilized for their stores. The
Applicant proposes individual channel letter signs which are internally illuminated. Both upper
and lower cast; letters are proposed to be used with a "31" logo placed between the words
Baskin and Robbins. The Applicant proposes to have letters which are white plexi-glass faced
and outlined with slate grey. The trim caps and returns will be slate grey (as approved by the
Design Review Board). The "31" logo with a partial circle around the top is proposed to have
pink background outlined in slate grey. This logo will also be internally illuminated and have
slate grey returns and trim caps.
Because the location is a corner suite the Applicant is proposing two signs as allowed by the sign
program. On the west elevation the Applicant is proposing that the sign be a maximum 1' 8"
high by 17' long (27 square feet) and be placed on the facia of the covered walkway. The
second sign would be placed on the tower structure which is located at the corner of the
building. The sign program does allow signs to be placed on the tower structure. This second
PCST.106 1
sign would be a maximum 1'6" tall by 14' long (21 square feet). The highest point of the sign
is the half circle around the logo. The letters will be shorter than this 1'6" height. The total
square footage of the two signs would be approximately 48.2 square feet which does not exceed
the 50 square feet allowed by the sign program. The sign program does require that signs on
corners be separated by at least twenty feet. If this request is approved it will be subject to the
condition that the signs be twenty feet apart.
The Applicant is proposing an under canopy sign for use by pedestrians as allowed by the sign
program. Except for the copy, style and colors the sign is in compliance with the sign program.
The sign is proposed to be a sand blasted wood painted sign to match the main sign.
DESIGN REVIEW BOARD ACTION:
The Design Review Board reviewed this request at their meeting of February 3, 1993. Initially,
the landlord and Staff had required that the trim cap and returns around the letters be black to
conform with the sign program. The Applicant noted that recent court cases had stipulated that
cities cannot require modifications to corporate signage colors and design. After a short
discussion, it was determined that the slate grey which was originally proposed by the Applicant
was acceptable: for the trim cap and returns. Staff noted that for corner buildings a 20-foot
separation between signage is required by the sign program. In this situation it appears the 20-
feet can be provided as long as the sign on the west fact starts two feet from the north edge.
By a unanimous vote, the Design Review Board moved to recommend approval of the sign
deviation for the sign subject to the following conditions:
1. That the sign facing the west elevation be placed two feet from the northern edge of the
wall face (to provide 20-feet separation between signs).
2. That the trim cap and sign returns may be slate grey.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff feels that the signage as recommended by the

78-105 Calle Estado, La Quinta, California
January 26, 1993 7:00 P.M.
I. CALL TO ORDER
A. The meeting was called to order at 7:04 P.M. by Chairwoman Barrows;
Commissioner Ellson led the flag salute.
U. ROLL CALL
A. Chairwoman Barrows requested the roll call. Present: Commissioners Mosher,
Ellson, Marrs, Adolph, and Chairwoman Barrows.
B. Staff Present: Planning Director Jerry Herman and Principal Planner Stan Sawa,
Associate Planner Greg Trousdell, Associate Planner Leslie Blodgett, and
Department Secretary Betty Anthony.
III. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Continued public hearing on Zoning, Ordinance Amendment 92-029; a request of
the City to amend Chapter 9.117 Overlay Zone for Equestrian Uses on Smaller
Lots.
1. Associate Planner Leslie Blodgett presented the information contained in
the Staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Planning and
Development Department.
2. Commissioner Ellson questioned Staff regarding a foal needing as much
space as a full grown horse. Staff pointed out that a foal for the first six
months will be beside the mother and is as a general rule considered to be
a full grown horse until one year of age.
3. Commissioners questioned why Staff had lowered the 1.5 acre minimum
to one acre. Staff stated that appeared to be the market in that area at
present. Discussion followed regarding how much space would
accommodate how many horses. Following the discussion, it was
suggested that for a one acre parcel the maximum number of horses would
be two, but for each additional acre, five horses per acre would be
allowed.

Planning Commission Minutes
January 26, 1993
4. There being no further questions of Staff, Chairwoman Barrows opened
the public hearing. Mr. Sonny Kanlian, Jefferson Street property owner,
presented a letter from himself and neighbors to the Commission asking
that the limit be established at two horses per acre, that all horses be
phased out in five years, and other requirements regarding maintenance.
Commissioner Adolph asked Mr. Kanlian who the other neighbors were.
Mr. Kanlian stated Mr. Hansch, Mr. Fraser, and Mr. Radaker.
5. Mrs. Kathy Cole, 50th Avenue property owner, stated her concern
regarding the fencing requirements. Commissioner Adolph informed Mrs.
Cole this would refer to any new construction. All existing fences would
be grandfathered in.
6. Ms. Melitis Forster, 50th Avenue property owner, stated her agreement
with the Commission on the two horses per acre and five for each
additional acre.
7. Mrs. Wanda Reese, 50th Avenue property owner, stated her agreement
with the two horses per acre and five for each additional acre.
Chairwoman Barrows asked Mrs. Reese how many horses she currently
had. Mrs. Reese stated she believed at present there were 26 horses on
14 acres. Commissioner Ellson asked Mrs. Reese how many horses
would be adequate for one acre. Mrs. Reese stated three would be
comfortable but it depended on the size and condition of the land.
8. Mr. Robert Kuhl, Monroe Street property owner, stated he felt the
minimum lot size should be 3 acres. Commissioner Marrs stated his
concern that this would eliminate the family who owned one acre from
having their one or two horses. Mr. Kuhl agreed with Commissioner
Marrs and reconsidered the one acre minimum as acceptable.
9. Mr. Kanlian, stated his problem with his neighbor flood irrigating his
pastures and the erosion that took place on his driveway due to the water
and gophers. He felt the fence should be setback 15 feet from the
property line. Discussion followed regarding fencing on the property line.
1.0. Mrs. Cole, stated they had taken all the measures they could to control the
water problem with Mr. Kanlian.
11. There being no further public comment, Chairwoman Barrows closed the
public hearing.
PCl-26 2
Planning Commission Minutes

appropriate.

Commissioner Mosher seconded a motion to adopt Planning Commission
Resolution 93-001 recommending to the City Council confirmation of the
Environmental Determination and adoption of Zoning Ordinance 92-029,
Overlay Zone for Equestrian Uses on Smaller Lots, subject to an

B. Continued Public Hearing on Change of Zone 92-073; a request of the City to
add the Equestrian Overlay Zone District designation to existing zoning
designations in order to create two new Districts.
1. Associate Planner Leslie Blodgett presented the information contained in
the Staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Planning and
Development Department.
2. Commissioner Ellson asked Staff if a trail system could be incorporated
into the Canal system. Staff stated not at this time.
3. There being no further questions of Staff, Chairwoman Barrows opened
the public hearing. Mrs. Cathy Cole, 50th Avenue property owner, stated
her request to have the Overlay in her area.
4. Ms. Melitis Forster, 50th Avenue property owner, stated her support of
the Overlay for her area and thanked Staff for their work.
5. Mr. Sonny Kanlian, Jefferson Street property owner, stated his opposition
to the Overlay District being placed in District #3. He felt this was a
different type of area and was not conducive to horses. He further stated
that he would like to have the Overlay include that if the Overlay was
approved the property owners could not sell the property as horse
property. He then elaborated on the amount of manure generated by the
horses and his concern for the water table dropping.

6. Mr. Bob Kuhl, Monroe Street property owner, stated his support of the
Overlay Zone.
7. Mr. Gary Lohman, representing Mr. Radaker, 50th Avenue property
owner, stated his support of the Overlay District except for #3 due to the
amount of commercial development that was planned for this area.
8. Ms. Kay Menefee, Indio resident boards horse on 50th Avenue, supports
the Overlay Zone.
9. Mrs. Wanda Reese, 50th Avenue property owner, stated her support of
the Overlay District as she would like to continue the lifestyle she is
currently living. She further stated that this was not an isolated strip of
horses. She noted that on both sides of 50th Avenue residents had horses.
10. Mrs. Julie Reeske, La Quinta resident and trainer for horses in EOD #3,
stated her support of the Overlay District. If EOD #3 was not allowed
she would be without a job.
11. Mrs. Cathy Cole, 50th Avenue property owner, stated she wanted to
continue her lifestyle and she felt that horses could co -exist in a residential
area. In addition, she did not want to lose the rural atmosphere of the
area.
12. There being no further public comment, Chairwoman Barrows closed the
public hearing.
13. Commissioner Adolph asked Staff if trails would be incorporated into
EOD #3 and tie into the Madison Street system. Staff stated that at the
present they were not planned for in this area. The General Plan would
have to be amended to show this. Staff further stated that Indio had a trail
system planned for the north side of 50th Avenue.
14. Commissioner Ellson stated that she did not feel the Commission should
determine the outcome of individual property owners property.
Economics would eventually determine the future of the property.
15. Commissioner Mosher stated he did not feel it was legal for the
Commission to put restrictions on property as to what future generations
could do with the property.
