staff report. Assistant Planner Eric Ceja presented the information
contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the
Planning Department.
2. Chairman Alderson asked if there were any questions of staff.

required to be maintained and Code Compliance would be called if
there were problems.
3. Chairman Alderson asked if all the requirements for the sign are

Commission? Staff clarified the Zoning Code requires any
revisions to an existing Sign Program be agendized as a public
hearing before the Commission.
4. There being no further questions of staff, the applicant not being

Planning Commission Minutes
August 28, 2007
Staff asked that the applicant answer that question.
Commissioner Quill asked the width of the flag lot shared
driveway. Staff stated it was 20 feet wide and is a common use
or reciprocal easement.
3. Commissioner Daniels asked if the project would be phased. Staff
stated it will be phased starting at the southern end of the
property, near the Clubhouse. Commissioner Daniels asked staff
to identify, on the adjacent tracts, where the existing houses were
located and where the lots were vacant. Also, why is the
Commission concerned about lots that are vacant. Planning
Director Les Johnson stated the homes on the north half of the
Carmela project are constructed and occupied as well as most of
Rancho Santana. Commissioner Daniels asked how many of the
adjacent lots to the east are built. Staff indicated the location on
the map. Discussion followed regarding what currently exists at
the site and site distances between the tracts. Commissioner
Daniels asked why the perimeter landscaping was being required.
prior to building permits being issued. Planning Director Les
Johnson stated the perimeter landscaping.is not a direct part of
this application. It is independent and staff recognized that it
needs to be installed and mature before occupancy to help soften
the impact on the adjacent tracts. Commissioner Daniels asked
what views the current homeowners in the adjacent tracts have.
Staff stated the City's position has not been to address views, but
the impact of the Villa units on the adjacent homes.
4. Commissioner Quill asked if any of the Carmela homes were
approved for two-story homes. Staff stated they have a second
story outdoor sky -deck with a height limitation of approximately
28 feet.
5. Commissioner Daniels asked if Carmela could come back and
request two-story homes. Staff stated yes, they could apply.
Staff's opinion was that by requiring the perimeter landscaping to
be installed prior to building permit issuance, the landscaping
would soften the differential in the heights between the two
projects.
6. Chairman Alderson asked if any meetings had taken place between
the developer and the adjacent tracts and if there were any issues.
Staff stated it was their understanding the meeting went well.
Chairman Alderson asked if the lake was part of the storm drain
system. Principal Engineer Ed Wimmer stated yes. Chairman
tl

Alderson asked if the Fire Department had reviewed the project
and had any concerns. Staff stated their comments were included
in the conditions of approval. Chairman Alderson asked if the
clustered units would have one central trash area for trash pick-up.
Staff stated the applicant would need to address this. Chairman
Alderson stated the biggest concern does seem to be the site line
between the tracts. To him it is important to see the landscaping
installed early to help shield the adjacent property owners.
7. There being no further questions of the staff, Chairman Alderson
asked if the applicant would like to address the Commission. Mr.
John Gamlin, the applicant, gave a presentation on the project. He
explained how the trash disposal would be handled. In regard to
the lake it is part of the golf course irrigation. In regard to the
conditions, they would like to ask that Condition No. 40 of the
Tract Map, where it references storm water falling on -site within
the development, that it be clarified to refer to The Madison Club
and not the Villas. Condition No. 6 of the Site Development
Permit should be deleted. This tree is already in use throughout
the overall project and they would like to continue using this
species. In regard to. Condition No. 7, they would request it be
deleted. He went through a slide presentation on the perimeter
landscaping as it related to the adjacent tract lots directly affected.
8. Commissioner Daniels asked if they wanted the landscaping
condition changed to require the perimeter landscaping on the
berm as each phase was constructed. Mr. Gamlin stated they
would prefer to have all the landscaping installed prior to a
Certificate of Occupancy being issued.
9. Commissioner Quill asked if they could accept a condition that the
landscaping be installed prior to a Certificate of Occupancy for
Lots 1-4.
10. Commissioner Quill asked the water source. Mr. Gamlin stated
they have two allocations from the canal and one for ground
water.
11. Chairman Alderson asked the source of the fountains in the
courtyards. Mr. Gamlin stated he is unsure, but it should be a
common area meter.

12. Chairman Quill asked if there was any other public comment. Ms.
Kathleen Fitzpatrick, 81-824 Contento Street, within the Carmela
project, noted she did not receive notification of the public hearing
even though they are within the noticing area. Her concern is the
height and massing of the 19 homes with each home being two
stories in height and significantly higher than their development
and Rancho Santana. The proposed landscaping appears to be
more of a forest planting rather than a desert landscaping. It is her
belief that the massing of the units and proposed plant palette will
adversely affect their home. Lastly, what will happen behind the
wall next to the CVWD well site. Will the wall be eight feet or six
feet and how will the accesses be addressed.
13. Mr. Tom Berry, 81-609 Hidden Valley Road, stated he did not see
any problem with the project. He did buy his home in Rancho
Santana for the view, but this project is very attractive.
14. Chairman Alderson asked if Mr. Gamlin would like to address the
concerns raised. Mr. Gamlin stated that the density of this project
and how it is laid out is offset by how far it is set back from the
adjacent tracts; this will reduce any impact on the adjacent tracts.
Relative to the berm and landscaping, they have spent an
exhaustive amount of time on their perimeter landscaping. Their
landscape budget is based on what their water allotment is from
CVWD and their requirements are very restrictive. In regard to the
well site, CVWD has required them to provide an access on both
ends of the site.
15. Commissioner Quill stated the pads adjacent to the well site are at
an elevation of 84 and the well site is 88 which is a four foot
difference. The well site elevation should be reduced to allow the
wall to be eight feet. He would recommend the pad elevation of
the well site shall not exceed 84 feet.
16. There being no further questions of the applicant and no other
public comment, the public hearing was closed and open for
Commission discussion.
17. Commissioner Quill stated that in other project approvals, the
Commission has restricted adjacent single -story homes to not have
two-story homes abutting them. In this instance there is an
extensive setback to buffer the height differential. The
landscaping is not typically what he would like to see in the
desert, but as long as the landscaping along Humboldt is installed
5
Planning Commission Minutes
August 28, 2007
prior to occupancy of the first house, it is acceptable. He does
have a concern about the 32 foot height of the units.
18. Commissioner Daniels stated they have previously addressed
height differences between projects by increasing the setbacks and
he does believe this will address the concerns here. The Madison
Club has built nothing but excellent products and he believes it is
an asset to the community.
19. Commissioner Barrows stated she is concerned about the water
usage and believes that putting a bunch of trees in between the
two projects is not a solution.
20. Chairman Alderson stated the problem of two-story units next to
'one-story units has been and will be a continual problem. He does
believe the setback is sufficient to offset the concern. This is a
double-edged sword; the landscaping is not what is typical to the
desert, but it does buffer the site line between the adjacent tracts.
In regard to staff's recommendation for the removal of the Pepper
trees he has no concern.
21. Commissioner Quill noted this project is a single -loaded product on
the street. Staff needs to make sure that disclosures are being
made by the developers that a development could be built adjacent
to their project and their view of the mountains could be lost.
22. Chairman Alderson asked if staff could explain why the
Fitzpatricks were not notified of the public hearing. Staff stated
the standard protocol was followed and as the Fitzpatricks were a
new resident, it could be a timing issue with the County records.
23. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by
Commissioners Daniels/Quill to adopt', Planning Commission
Resolution 2007-035 recommending approval of Tentative Tract
Map 34968 as recommended and amended:
a. Condition added: The well site pad shall not exceed 84 feet
in elevation adjacent to the Carmela pads.
b. Condition 40; Amended to state that the drain water shall
come from the Madison Club
C. Condition 57: Amended to state prior to a Certificate of
Occupancy of the first building."

A. Discussion of landscaping policies in regard to water features and turf
usage. Principal Planner Andrew Mogensen gave,a staff report, a copy of
which is on file in the Community Development,Department.
1. Commissioner Quill stated he has no objection to reducing the
City's coefficient to be equal to what the City of Palm Desert is
requiring. He would highly support moving this recommendation
to the City Council
2. Chairman Alderson asked if we moved forward with this
requirement, could the landscaping proposed by The Madison Club
be approved.
7
Planning Commission Minutes
August 28, 2007
3. . Commissioner Quill stated no, it would not be allowed, but they
could achieve the same affect with a different plant palette.
4. Commissioner Daniels stated he believes we are reaching or limit
on bringing the "Oregon" environment to the desert. He would
like to see further evaluation for golf courses and sited examples
where water usage has been decreased and been very affective.
The lack of turf does not equate to the lack of quality on a course.
5. Planning Director Les Johnson explained that the staff report was
focused on a response to the Commission's request to re-evaluate
the water standards. Staff is looking for direction as to how much
more aggressive the Commission would like staff to be in
evaluating landscaping plans.
6. Commissioner Daniels stated the policy direction in the staff report
is a good direction to start. He would continue developing the
policies, but get it moving forward to get it adopted.
7. Planning Director Les Johnson stated that during the General Plan
Update, these issues as well as other issues will be addressed.
8. Commissioner Quill asked if the points brought forward by staff
were sufficient or should it be taken even further to reduce the .5
co -efficient. If it were changed to .5 it could require the City to
hire a staff member to do landscaping calculations. It is under
discussion by CVWD, but it is very early in the process. In his
opinion, it would not pass Council. He would recommend taking
the five water feature issues and the four policy points at this time
to work toward a stricter water ordinance. The turf use for open
space areas would have a dual purpose.
9. Commissioner Barrows stated she thought the "no turf" option
was already a policy. She would also like to move forward with
the .5 co -efficient requirement, even recognizing that this would
require changes, but to move forward to begin the process. She
would also like to have a statement that water features should not
be overused. She would hope that when this is presented to the
Council the visual presentation is included to show how a project
can be successful with a .5 co -efficient requirement.
10. Commissioner Alderson asked if the plant palette could be more
restrictive.

11. Commissioner Daniels stated there should be some flexibility to
allow landscape architects to achieve their design purposes. He
I
ould recommend that it be brought to the local architects, and
the community as well as the City's Architecture and Landscape
Review Committee, Planning Commission, and City Council.
12. Chairman Alderson asked about the PM 10 requirements. Staff
stated it was being discussed and staff will bring it back to the
Commission as well as addressing the water feature and turf
issues.
B. Discussion of a multi -use trail on Madison Street between Avenue 58 and
Avenue 62.
1. Principal Planner Wallace Nesbit presented the information
contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the
Planning Department.
2. Commissioner Quill stated he believes this is important to make
sure the access can be made to have this trail connection. When
the next development is up for approval a multi -purpose trail
should be required on the west side of Madison Street.
3. Chairman Alderson asked if this was within the right-of-way.
4. Commissioner Quill stated it is within the required setback and the
developer is not required to dedicate any land.
5. Staff stated discussions had been held with the Travertine
developers that could result in a loop around that project via
Avenue 62 to tie back into the trail.
6. Commissioners directed staff to prepare a General Plan
Amendment amending Exhibit 3.10 requiring a multi -purpose trail
from Avenue 58 to Avenue 62 on the 'west side of Madison
Street, across the levy and westerly back to Jefferson Street.
C. Staff gave a review of the City Council meeting of August 7, 2007.

BACKGROUND:
The proposed project site is zoned Village Commercial and is located within a retail
commercial designated portion of Specific Plan 94-024 for the existing Duna La Quinta
project. The site was intended to be a second phase of the adjacent existing office
commercial center, approved under Plot Plan PP 85-217 Amendment #2 on February
21, 1989. The second phase of that project was mass graded, utility lines were
installed, and landscaping was planted along Calle Tampico and Desert Club Drive, but
the buildings were never constructed. In May of 2005, staff received a Village Use
Permit application for a retail building at this location which was later withdrawn.
The applicant has requested in writing, that this item be continued to the September
25, 2007 Planning Commission hearing to enable issues with the Public Work
Department to be resolved.
OVERVIEW:
The applicant is proposing to construct three single -story retail commercial buildings, a
parking lot, and landscaping on a ±3.4 acre parcel in the Village District. All of the
proposed buildings have a Spanish Contemporary architectural style, consisting of a
smooth cement plaster finish painted white with Spanish tile highlights, sage green
canopies, and Green Screen brand vertical plant trellises. The proposed commercial
center will share internal access and parking with the adjacent existing office building.
Major 1, located on the corner of Calle Tampico and Desert Club Drive, is proposed to
be a 13,969 square foot specialty grocery store. Shop 1, located along Calle Tampico
and east of Major 1, is proposed to be a 6,275 square foot building with.up to four
tenants. Shop 2, at the rear of the site, is proposed to be a 12,025 square foot
building with up to seven tenants. The applicant is also proposing to construct a
landscaped pedestrian plaza with a water feature along Calle Tampico between Major
1 and Shop 1.
PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENT:
This project was advertised in the Desert Sun newspaper and posted on September 1,
2007. All property owners within 500 feet of the site were mailed a copy of the
public hearing notice. No comments concerning this item were received from either
the members of the public or outside agencies.
RECOMMENDATION:
The applicant has requested this item be continued to the next Planning Commission
meeting on September 25, 2007.

PROPOSAL:
In the day-to-day processing of applications, City staff has encountered an issue
within the existing Subdivision Ordinance, which is in need of modification. In
order to modify these standards, staff has developed the following Amendment to
the Subdivision Ordinance.
Currently, the Subdivision Ordinance, Section 13.32.020(C),reads:
"C. The applicant and/or owner of the property has not received approval of a
lot line adjustment affecting any of the lots to be altered, or lots abutting
any of the lots to be altered, for a period of 12 months immediately
preceding the date of the current application."
This Subdivision Code Amendment will modify this Section by reducing the time
frame between lot line adjustments from twelve months to six months, except for
properties zoned commercial, in which case there will be no time limit. Section
13.32.020(C) would read:
C. The applicant and/or owner of the property has not received approval of a
lot line adjustment affecting any of the lots to be altered, or lots abutting
any of the lots to be altered, for a period of twelve six months immediately
preceding the date of the current application, unless the property is zoned
Neighborhood Commercial Community Commercial Regional Commercial
Office or Business Park, in which case there shall be no time restriction
between lot line adjustments.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed Amendment will eliminate unnecessary time delays for future
developments. The change facilitates staff review procedures for lot line
adjustments in the future. Staff has found that in its practical application, the
demand for lot line adjustments is small and that in the case of commercially zoned
parcels, a time restriction has sometimes been an issue. This is particularly the
case in a developing commercial center, where the needs of a particular tenant
require the adjustment of a'lot to accommodate the tenant's needs for floor space
and parking. Since the need for such amendments is entirely tied to the market
conditions at the time, staff does not believe that the imposition of time restrictions
is practical.
The proposed Amendment is consistent with the General Plan's goals and policies
supporting high quality development in the City in general.

SURROUNDING
LAND USES: NOT APPLICABLE
BACKGROUND:
City staff has encountered a number of issues within the existing Zoning Code,
which are in need 'of modification. In order to clarify these standards, staff has
developed an Amendment to the Zoning Code pertaining to second units on single-
family lots, apartments in the Medium Density Residential zone, mini -storage
facilities and the standards associated with Image Corridors ,in the Special Purpose
Districts.
PROPOSAL:
The proposed Amendment will consist of four separate components. First is a text
Amendment re -drafting provisions of the Residential Second Units section of the
Cpde. The second adds apartments as a permitted use in the Medium Density
Residential zone. The third removes mini -storage facilities from all zoning districts.
The fourth clarifies the zoning standards of Image Corridors in the Special Purpose
Districts.
Residential Second Units
Minor Use Permits will no longer be required for approval of second units, casitas,
guesthouses or similar facilities. The approval will now be administrative, and part
of the building permit plan check process conducted by the Planning Department.
This Amendment will also combine "2"d units" and "granny flats" together under a
single new zoning category of "Second Residential Units." Section 9.60.090 has
also been re -written to conform with California Government Code Section 65852.2,
which regulates residential second units. The text Amendment is Attachment 1.
Apartments in the Medium Density Residential Zone
As currently drafted, the Medium Density Residential zone prohibits apartments.
The proposed Amendment would add apartments as a permitted use in the zone by
amending Section 9.80.040, Table of Permitted Uses.
Mini -Storage Facilities:
This Amendment would amend Section 9.80.040, Table of Permitted Uses, to
remove mini -storage facilities from being permitted in any zoning district in the City.
Only existing facilities will be allowed to remain, and these will not be allowed to
expand, as will be considered legal non -conforming uses. The Table, with the
Amendment shown, is attached to this staff report as Attachment 2.
Image Corridors in the Special Purpose Districts:
This Amendment clarifies within Section 9.130.010 Table of Development
Standards, for the Special Purpose Districts, the requirements for Primary Image
Corridors.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed Amendment will result in improved development standards and
minimize confusion.
Residential Second Units
As the Planning Commission is aware, a number of projects have been proposed
which include "casitas", similar guest houses, or second units on single-family lots.
In the past, a Minor Use Permit was required for each of these units, unless a
condition of approval for a Specific Plan or .Site Development Permit specifically
allowed a Master Minor Use Permit. This requirement, particularly when considering
the number of casitas proposed within projects in recent times, has resulted in
considerable work for staff. The proposed Amendment would eliminate Minor Use
Permit requirements for the second units, and allow staff to simply review the units
as part of the building permit process. At that time, staff will assure that minimum
standards, such as setbacks, height and parking, are consistent with Section
9.60.090 and 9.60.100. This Amendment will reduce staff workload, and
eliminate a bureaucratic hurdle for residential developers.
In addition to the administrative Amendment, staff has also reviewed Section
9.60.090 (Second Residential Units), and found it to be inconsistent with Assembly
Bill 1866, enacted in 2003, which amended two sections of the Government Code
(65852.2, and 65583.1). These changes were designed to clearly define second
units as all types of independent units (those including cooking and sanitary
facilities) located on a single-family lot in addition to the primary residence, and to
encourage the creation of second units as an affordable housing opportunity. The
law eliminates distinctions in local ordinances between granny flats and second
units, and prohibits restrictions such as rental prohibitions, which had been
established in many jurisdictions. Attachment 2 is consistent with State law, and
would replace the current text of Section 9.60.090 in the Zoning Code.
The distinction between a "casita", "guest house" and a "second unit" is that the
second unit has a kitchen or kitchenette.
As with the previous Ordinance, the units can be up to 30 percent of the size of
the primary unit (with a minimum size of 400 square feet, and a maximum of
1,200 square feet). A limitation of no more than two bedrooms has been added.
The amendment further defines that in the Cove Residential, Medium Density
Residential, Medium High Density Residential and High Density Residential zones,
only one guest house or second residential unit may be permitted on a lot, in
addition to the main residence. In the Very Low Density Residential and Low
Density Residential zones, however, more than one guest house and/or second
residential unit may be permitted, with approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Staff
has previously had requests for some of the City's larger lots and larger homes to
allow multiple guest houses or second units, which may be requested for both
guests and household staff. If the lot is of sufficient size, and all the development
standards can be met, staff believes that multiple units may be appropriate. The
requirement for a Conditional Use Permit assures that the compatibility with the
neighborhood will be, reviewed should such a request be made.
At least one additional parking space per second unit will be required, over and
above those parking spaces required for the primary unit.
All units will still be'required to meet standard zoning setbacks and regulations for
both the primary and secondary units.
Finally, in order to eliminate an inconsistency in the Zoning Code, it is proposed
that the definition of Guest House found in Section 9.280.030:
"Guest house means a detached unit which has sleeping and sanitary
facilities but no cooking facilities and which is used primarily for
sleeping purposes by members of the family occupying the main
building, their nonpaying guests, and domestic employees.'
be changed to be consistent with the definition of Guest House found in the
development standards for this use, Section 9.60.100:
"Guest house" means a detached or attached unit which has sleeping
and sanitary facilities but no cooking facilities and which is used
primarily for sleeping purposes by members of the family occupying
the main building, their nonpaying guests, and domestic employees.
All proposed amendments are provided in Attachment 1.
Aoartments in Medium Densitv Residential Zone
As currently drafted, the Zoning Code prohibits apartments in the Medium Density
Residential (MDR) zone. The MDR zone has a density of 0 to 12 units per acre,
which can easily accommodate apartments. In addition, the General Plan defines
the MDR designation as being appropriate for "attached and detached units on
small lots, condominiums, townhomes and apartments..." Therefore, the General
Plan clearly envisioned that apartments would be allowed in the zone. The
proposed Amendment changes Table 9.80.040 to allow apartments as a permitted
use. As required by the Zoning Code, apartments would be subject to the
requirements of the Site Development Permit process for. site and architectural
design.
Mini -Storage Facilities
The proposed Amendment will prohibit mini-storage/self-storage facilities in all
zones. The use is currently permitted only in the Commercial Park zone. The
Commercial Park zone; is south of the Whitewater Channel, between Adams Street
and Dune Palms Road; and south of Avenue 47, east of Dune Palms to the eastern
City limits. The land use has extremely limited benefits for the City economically,
and has limited potential for development, given the limited amount of vacant
Commercial Park land remaining in the City. Existing self -storage facilities in and
around the City appear, to be filling the need for such facilities.
Image Corridor Requirements in Special Purpose Districts
For reasons unknown to staff, the landscaping setback requirements for projects in
the Special Purpose Districts (Parks and Recreation, Golf Course, Equestrian
Overlay, among others; please see Section 9.140 et. seq. for all districts included)
as they relate to Primary Image Corridors are not provided in the development
standards table (Section 9.130.010, Table 1301). The Amendment proposes to
add these requirements, consistent with how they are shown in the commercial and
residential districts. The change will simply clarify existing requirements, and
facilitate land owners' and developers' understanding of the standards in these
zones.

STAFF REPORT
PLANNING COMMISSION
DATE: SEPTEMBER 11, 2007
REQUEST: FINDING OF GENERAL PLAN CONFORMITY FOR 19 CVWD
CAPITAL PROJECTS PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT
CODE SECTION 65401
LOCATION: VARIOUS LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY
APPLICANT: COACHELLA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT/CITY OF LA QUINTA
BACKGROUND
California Government Code Section 65401 requires that any agency responsible for
planning and construction of major public works projects, must submit a list of such
projects for the ensuing fiscal year to the jurisdiction in which they are to be located.
It also requires that the jurisdiction's planning agency review and report to the official
agency (i.e. Planning Commission) on the conformity of said project(s) with the
adopted General Plan.
PROPOSED PROJECTS
Nineteen Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) projects are proposed in their
Capital Improvement- Projects in the next fiscal year for La Quinta (Attachment 1)•
Please note that not all projects are installations; some are pilot studies, acquisition
and repair actions, and some are related to Valley -wide system maintenance.
FINDINGS
Several General Plan policies are applicable and are referred to for conformance
determination, as follows:
LAND USE ELEMENT
• Policy 6 (General Land Use Goals, Policies, and Programs)
...identifies the_ encouragement of in -fill development by placing capital
improvement projects in the developed areas of the City as top priorities.
The proposed CVWD projects accommodate this policy in that such
infrastructure projects are proposed within developed areas within the City.
TRAFFIC AND CIRCULATION ELEMENT
Policy 8 (Traffic and Circulation Goal, Policies, and Programs)

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Les Johnson, Planning Direct
DATE: September 11, 2007
RE: New CVWD Ordinance — Establishing Landscape and Irrigation System
Design Criteria
The Coachella Valley Water District approved a revised landscape ordinance on
August 28', 2007 that effects the landscaping of all new developments and golf
courses. Though staff has attended at least two water -related events in the past
several months, staff was unaware CVWD was proposing a revised landscaping
ordinance. CVWD is citing that the Water State of Emergency declared in July by
the Governor and the Riverside County Board of Supervisors, for drought
conditions, and the continuing overdraft of groundwater as the key reasons
justifying the new ordinance.
Attached to this memo is a copy of the new Ordinance - "Establishing Landscape
and Irrigation System Design Criteria".
The substantive revisions are as follows:
• The maximum water allowance (ET adjustment factor) has been reduced
from .6 to .5. This is now consistent with the coefficient factor that Palm
Desert has been using for the past few years.
• All new developments must use "smart controllers'% The City has been
encouraging use of these controllers and previously contributed $5000 to
CVWD to assist residents in the purchase cost.
• New golf courses are now limited to an average of four irrigated acres of turf
per hole. Practice areas (driving ranges and putting greens) are limited to ten
acres of turf.
• Monetary penalties have been added of up to $250 per incident for violations
of the new provisions. The utility can also terminate service.
• The ordinance will go into effect October 1, 2007
ORDINANCE NO. 1302.1
AN ORDINANCE OF THE
COACHELLA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT
ESTABLISHING LANDSCAPE AND
IRRIGATION SYSTEM DESIGN CRITERIA
WHEREAS, on July 17, 2007, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors declared a local

0.00.020 Definitions
The words used in this chapter have the meanings set forth below:
ANTIDRAIN VALVE or CHECK VALVE - A valve located under/in a sprinkler
head to hold water in the system so it eliminates drainage from the lower
elevation sprinkler heads.
APPLICATION RATE - The depth of water applied to a given area, usually
measured in inches per hour. Also known as precipitation rate (sprinklers) or
emission rate (drippers/microsprayers) in gallons per hour.
APPLIED WATER - The portion of water supplied by the irrigation system to the
landscape.
AUTOMATIC CONTROLLER - An electronic or solid-state timer, capable of
operating valve stations to set the days, time and length of time of a water
application.
BACKFLOW PREVENTION DEVICE - A safety device used to prevent
pollution or contamination of the water supply due to the reverse flow of water
from the irrigation system.
BENEFICIAL USE - Water used for landscape evapotranspiration
BILLING UNITS - Units of water (100 cubic feet = 1 billing unit = 748 gallons =
1 CCF) for billing purposes. To convert gallons per year to 100 cubic feet per
year,, divide gallons per year by 748. (748 gallons = 100 cubic feet).
CONVERSION FACTOR (0.62) - A number that converts the maximum applied
water allowance from acre -inches per acre to gallons per square foot. The
conversion factor is calculated as follows:
(325,851 gallons/43,560 square feet)/12 inches = (0.62)
325,851 gallons = one acre-foot
43,560 square feet = one acre
12 inches = one foot
DESERT LANDSCAPE - A desert landscape using native plants spaced to look
like a native habitat.
DISTRIBUTION UNIFORMITY - A measure of how evenly sprinklers apply
water. The low -quarter measurement method (DULQ) utilized in the irrigation
audit procedure is utilized for the purposes of these criteria. These criteria assume
an attainable performance level of 75% DULQ for spray heads, 80% DULQ for
rotor heads and 85% DULQ for recreational turf grass rotor heads.
DRIP IRRIGATION - A method of irrigation where the water is applied slowly at
the base of plants without watering the open space between plants.
ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION PROJECT - A project where the site is
intentionally altered to establish a defined, indigenous, historic ecosystem.
EFFECTIVE PRECIPITATION or USABLE RAINFALL - The portion of total
natural precipitation that is used by the plants, usually assumed to be three inches
annually. Precipitation or rainfall is not considered a reliable source of water in
the desert.
ELECTRONIC CONTROLLERS - Time clocks that have the capabilities of
multiprogramming, water budgeting and multiple start times.
EMISSION UNIFORMITY - A measure of how evenly drip and microspray
emitters apply water. The low -quarter measurement method (EULQ) utilized in
the landscape irrigation evaluation procedure is utilized for the purposes of these
criteria. These criteria assume 90% DULQ for drippers, microsprays and pressure
compensating bubblers.
EMITTER - Drip irrigation fittings that deliver water slowly from the system to
the soil.
ESTABLISHED LANDSCAPE - The point at which new plants in the landscape
have developed roots into the soil adjacent to the root ball.
ESTABLISHMENT PERIOD - The first year after installing the plant in the
landscape.
ESTIMATED ANNUAL APPLIED WATER USE (By hydrozone) - The portion
of the estimated annual total applied water use that is derived from applied water
to a specified hydrozone.
ESTIMATED ANNUAL TOTAL APPLIED WATER USE (Total of all
hydrozones) - The annual total amount of water estimated to be needed by all
hydrozones to keep the plants and water features in the landscaped area healthy
and visually pleasing. It is based upon such factors as the local evapotranspiration
rate, the size of the landscaped area, the size and type of water feature, the types
of plants, and the efficiency of the irrigation system. The estimated annual total
applied water use shall not exceed the maximum applied water allowance.
EVAPOTRANSPIRATION or ET - The quantity of water evaporated from
adjacent soil surfaces and transpired by plants expressed in inches during a
specific time.
ET ADJUSTMENT FACTOR - A factor of 0.5 that, when applied to reference
evapotranspiration, adjusts for plant factors and irrigation efficiency, two major
influences upon the amount of water that needs to be applied to the landscape. A
combined plant mix with a site -wide average 0.38 is the basis of the plant factor
portion of this calculation. The irrigation efficiency for purposes of the ET
adjustment factor is 0.75. Therefore, the ET adjustment factor (0.5) _ (0.38/0.75)
FLOW RATE - The rate at which water flows through pipes, valves and meters
(gallons per minute or cubic feet per second).
HARDSCAPE - Concrete or asphalt areas including streets, parking lots,
sidewalks, driveways and patios and decks.
HEAD -TO -HEAD COVERAGE - One hundred percent sprinkler coverage of the
area to be irrigated, with maximum practical uniformity.
HIGH FLOW CHECK VALVE - A valve located under/in a sprinkler head to
stop the flow of water if the spray head is broken or missing.
HYDROZONE - A portion of the landscaped area having plants with similar
water needs that are served by a valve or set of valves with the same schedule. A
hydrozone may be irrigated or nonirrigated. For example, a naturalized area
planted with native vegetation that will not need supplemental irrigation (once
established) is a noninigated hydrozone.
INFILTRATION RATE - The rate of water entry into the soil expressed as a
depth of water per unit of time (inches per hour).
IRRIGATION EFFICIENCY - The measurement of the amount of water
beneficially used divided by the amount of water applied. Irrigation efficiency is
derived from measurements and estimates of irrigation system characteristics and
management practices. The minimum irrigation efficiency for purposes of these
regulations is 0.75 or 75 percent. Greater irrigation efficiency can be expected
from well -designed and maintained systems.
LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION AUDIT - A process to perform site inspections,
evaluate irrigation systems and develop efficient irrigation schedules.
LANDSCAPED AREA - The entire parcel less the building footprint, driveways,
nonirrigated portions of the parking lots, hardscapes such"as decks and patios, and
other nonporous areas. Water features are included in the calculation of a site's
landscaped area.
LATERAL LINE - The water delivery pipeline that supplies water to the emitters
or sprinklers from a valve.
MAIN LINE - The pressurized pipeline that delivers water from the water source
to a valve or outlet.
MAXIMUM APPLIED WATER ALLOWANCE - For design purposes, the
upper limit of annual applied water for the established landscape area as specified
in Division 2, Title 23, California Code of Regulations, Chapter 7, Section 702. I1
is based upon the area's reference evapotranspiration, ET adjustment factor, and
the size of the landscaped area. The estimated applied water use shall not exceed
the maximum applied water allowance.
MICROIRRIGATION - See drip irrigation.
MULCH - Any organic material such as leaves, bark, straw, or inorganic material
such as pebbles, stones, gravel, decorative sand or decomposed granite left loose
and applied to the soil surface to reduce evaporation.
NATIVE PLANTS - Native plants are low water using plants that are:
1) indigenous to the Coachella Valley and lower Colorado Desert region of
California and Arizona, 2) native to the southwestern United States and northern
Mexico or 3) native to other desert regions of the world, but adapted to the
Coachella Valley.
4
OPERATING PRESSURE - the pressure, at which an irrigation system's
sprinklers, bubblers, drippers or microsprays are designed to operate, usually
indicated at the base of an irrigation head.
OVERHEAD SPRINKLER IRRIGATION STATIONS —Sprinklers with high
flow rates (spray heads, impulse sprinklers, gear rotors, etc.) that are utilized to
apply water through the air to large irrigated areas.
OVERSPRAY - The water which is delivered beyond the landscaped area onto
pavements, walks, structures or other nonlandscape areas. Also known as
hardscape applications.
PLANT FACTOR - A factor that when multiplied by reference
evapotranspiration, estimates the amount of water used by plants. For purposes of
these criteria, the average plant factor of very low water using plants ranges from
0.01 to 0.10, for low water using plants the range is 0.10 to 0.30, for moderate
water using plants the range is 0.40 to 0.60 and for high water using plants, the
range is 0.70 to 0.90. Reference: Water Use Classifications of Landscape
Species III (WUCOLS III).
PRESSURE COMPENSATING (PC) BUBBLER — An emission device that
allows'the output of water to remain constant regardless of input pressure.
Typical flow rates for this type of bubbler range between 0.25 gpm to 2.0 gpm.
PRESSURE COMPENSATING SCREENS/DEVICES - Small screens/devices
inserted in place of standard screens/devices that are used in sprinkler heads for
radius and high pressure control.
QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL - A person who has been certified by their
professional organization or a person who has demonstrated knowledge and is
locally recognized as qualified among landscape architects due to longtime
experience.
RAIN -SENSING DEVICE - A system which automatically shuts off the
irrigation system when it rains.
RECYCLED WATER - Treated or recycled wastewater of a quality suitable for
nonpotable uses such as landscape irrigation. Recycled water is not for human
consumption.
RECORD DRAWING or AS-BUILTS - A set of reproducible drawings which
show significant changes in the work made during construction and which are
usually based on drawings marked up in the field and other data furnished by the
contractor.
RECREATIONAL AREA - Areas of active play or recreation such as golf
courses, sports fields, school yards, picnic grounds, or other areas with intense
foot or vehicular traffic.
RECREATIONAL TURF GRASS - High traffic turf grass that serves as a playing
surface for sports and recreational activities. Athletic fields, golf courses, parks
and school playgrounds are all examples of areas hosting recreational turf grass.
RECREATIONAL TURF GRASS ET ADJUSTMENT FACTOR - A factor of
0.82 that, when applied to reference evapotranspiration, adjusts for the additional
stress of high traffic on recreational turf grass and the higher irrigation
efficiencies of long-range rotary sprinklers. These are the two major influences
upon the amount of water that needs to be applied to a recreational landscape. A
mixed cool/warm season turf grass with a seasonal average of 0.7 is the basis of
the plant factor portion of this calculation. The irrigation efficiency of long-range
sprinklers for purposes of the ET adjustment factor is 0.85. Therefore, the ET
adjustment factor is 0.82 = 0.7/0.85.
REFERENCE EVAPOTRANSPIRATION or ETo - A standard measurement of
the environmental parameters which affect the water use of plants, using cool
season grass as a reference. ETo is expressed in inches per day, month or year
and is an estimate of the evapotranspiration of a large field of cool -season grass
that is well watered. Reference evapotranspiration is used as a basis of
determining the maximum applied water allowances so that regional differences
in climate can be accommodated. For purposes of these criteria, CV WD Drawing
No. 29523 will be used for ETo zones. (Attached on last page of these criteria.)
REHABILITATED LANDSCAPE - Any relandscaping project whose choice of
new plant material and/or new irrigation system components is such that the
calculation of the site's estimated water use will be significantly changed. The
new estimated water use calculation must not exceed the maximum applied water
allowance calculated for the site using a 0.5 ET adjustment factor.
RIPARIAN PLANTS - Riparian plants are high water using and water -loving
plants that are found growing naturally along flowing rivers and lake shores.
They may also be native to wet swampy areas with high water tables or poor
drainage.
RUNOFF - Irrigation water which is not absorbed by the soil or landscape to
which it is applied and flows from the planted area.
SERVICE LINE- The pressurized pipeline that delivers water from the water
source to the water meter. .
SMART CONTROLLER - Weather based or soil moisture based irrigation
controls that monitor and use information about environmental conditions for a
specific location and landscape (such as soil moisture, rain, wind, the plants'
evaporation and transpiration rates and, in some cases, plant type and more) to
decide for themselves when to water and when not to, providing exactly the right
amount of water to maintain lush, healthy growing conditions.
SOIL MOISTURE -SENSING DEVICE - A device that measures the amount of
water in the soil.
N
SOIL TEXTURE - The classification of soil based on the percentage of sand, silt
and clay in the soil.
SPRINKLER HEAD - A device which sprays water through a nozzle.

adaptability to the climatic, geologic and topographical conditions
of the site.
c. Selection of water -efficient and low -maintenance plant material is
required.
d. All planted areas must be a minimum of one inch below adjacent
hardscapes to eliminate runoff and overflow.
e. Long, narrow or irregularly shaped turf areas shall not be designed
because of the difficulty in irrigating uniformly without overspray
onto hardscaped areas, streets and sidewalks. Areas less than 8
feet in width shall not be designed with turf. Turf will be allowed
in these areas only if irrigation design reflects the use of subsurface
irrigation or a surface flow/wick irrigation system.
f. Turf areas irrigated with spray/rotor systems must be set back at

facilities.
m. Planter islands in parking lots with canopy trees to meet local
jurisdiction's shading requirements shall have planter beds sized
roughly by the expected canopy area in square feet equaling the
square feet of planter bed.
3. Landscape Grading Plan
13
a. The grading plan design shall indicate finished configurations and
elevations of the landscaped areas, including the height of graded
slopes, drainage patterns, pad elevations and finish grade.
b. Turf grass plantings are prohibited on slopes greater than
three -to -one. Slopes steeper than three-to=one shall be planted to
permanent ground covering plants adequate for proper slope
protection.
c. All grading must retain normal stormwater.runoff and provide for

bed may be used to convey storm drainage.into retention areas. A
drywell shall be installed if the retention basin is to be used as a
recreational area.
d. Avoid mounded or sloped planting areas that contribute to runoff
onto hardscape. Sloped planting areas above a hardscaped area
shall be avoided unless there is a drainage swale at toe of slope to
direct runoff away from hardscape.
C. Median islands must be graded to prevent stormwater and excess
irrigation runoff.
E. Irrigation Design Criteria
Separate landscape water meters shall be installed for all projects except single
family homes. When irrigation water is from a well, the well shall be metered.
The irrigation design plan shall be drawn on project base sheets. It should be
separate from, but use the same format as, the landscape design plan. The
irrigation system specifications shall accurately and clearly identify the following:
Specifications for Irrigation Design.
a. Control valves, manufacturer's model number, size and location.
b. Irrigation head manufacturer's model number, radius, operating
pressure, gallons per minute/gallons per hour (gpm/gph) and
location.

for large shrubs and trees must provide continuous bands of
moisture from the root ball out to the mature drip line plus 20
percent of the plant diameter. See Appendix C for more
information on emitter spacing and wetted area.
£ Most plants require 50 percent or more of the soil volume within
the drip line to be wetted by the irrigation system. See Appendix C
for more information. For additional information on plant
watering and plant relative water needs see "Lush and Efficient,
Landscape Gardening in the Coachella Valley" in the plant list
section.

SAMPLE CALCULATION/ESTIMATED ANNUAL APPLIED WATER USE (by Hydrozone)
Using the following formula from Appendix D:
EAAWU =
(ETo) x (PF) x (LA) x (.62)] / (748) / (IE)
EAAWU
= Estimated Water Use (hundred cubic feet)
ETo
= Reference Evapotranspiration (inches)
[for period of estimate]
PF
= Plant Factor (Kc)
LA
= Landscaped Area (in square feet)
.62
= Conversion Factor (to gallons per square foot)
748
= Conversion Factor (to hundred cubic feet)
IE
= Irrigation System Efficiency
Project Site Example: Total landscaped area 60,000 square feet in Palm Desert near the
intersection of Cook Street and Country Club Drive in Zone No. 3A
(75.0" Annual ETo).
16,500 square feet of turf grass overseeded with rye grass in winter, irrigated with low
angle rotor'sprinklers.
28,200 square feet of "low" desert native plantings on drip irrigation.
15,300 square feet of "moderate" water using plantings on drip irrigation.
See Appendix D for.formula factors. ETo is totaled for season. Turf grass plant factors are the
average for the season and tree/shrub/groundcover plant factors are considered constant annually.
Plant Factors
Turf Low Native Moderate
Grass Plants Shrubs
0.70 0.20 0.50
EAAWU = [(ETo) x'(PF) x (LA) x (.62) / (748)] / (IE) = CCF
Overseeded Turf Grass: Season = 75.0 x .7 x 16,500 x .62 / 748 /.80 = 897 CCF
Seasonal Turf EWU = 897 CCF
"Low" Native Plants: Annual = 75.0 x .2 x 28,200 x .62 / 748 / .90 = 389 CCF
"Low" Native EAAWU = 389 CCF
"Moderate" Shrubs and Ground Cover: Annual = 75.0 x .5 x 15,300x .62 / 748 / .90 = 528 CCF
"Moderate" EAAWU = 528 CCF
Project Total EAAWU = 1,814 CCF
APPENDIX A (continued)
SAMPLE CALCULATION
Maximum Annual Applied Water Allowance (MAAWA)
Using the following formula:
MAAWA = [(ETo) x (0.50) x (LA) x (0.62)] / (748)
MAAWA = Maximum Annual Applied Water Allowance (CCF or hundred cubic feet)
ETo = Reference Evapotranspiration (inches per year)
0.50 = ET adjustment factor = .38 PF / .75 IE
LA = Landscaped Area (square feet)
0.62 = Conversion Factor (to gallons per square foot)
748 = Conversion Factor (to hundred cubic feet)
Using the project for the Estimated Annual Applied Water Use example:
Landscaped area of 60,000 square feet in Palm Desert near the intersection of Cook Street
and Country Club Drive in Zone No. 3A (75.0" Annual ETo).
MAAWA = 75.0(ETo) x (0.50) x (LA) x (0.62) / (748)
_ [75.0(.50)(60,000)(0.62)] / (748)

Mr Mayor, City Council, Planning Commission,
1 have just read the way in which the CEQA documents were prepared and several other issues before the City
surrounding the Hotel and the residents living around it, including, of course, the Morgan House. It would
appear that between CNL ,.City Attorney and the City, we are fighting not only a water park, but a corrupt
( morally or otherwise ) group within our city government. We all know who is going to " look
the other way", but is everyone at City Hall going to do the same.? Where is the sense of duty, fairness and an
obligation to uphold the law ? You all can't approve of this behavior. Where are YOU ? Where are you on this
Mr. Mayor ? Will you continue to allow "staff' to function this way in Your Administration ? Please wake up and
smell the stink.
Sincerely
