2. The following citizens addressed the Commission:
Charlie White, representing the Chamber of Commerce,
informed the Commission that a Committee has been
formed to study and comment on the Specific Plan;
and, in a personal comment, felt the Village should
serve the Cove. Paul Rothschild, a member of the
Chamber's Committee, would like to see the formation
of an "Implementation Committee" to discuss and
analyze the feasibility of the plan, consisting of
approximately 12 individuals possessing various
qualifications - suggested positions be City Council
appointed to make it more official. Warren Johnson,
developer of a Village -area property, spoke
favorably of the Specific Plan, felt it should be
given much thought and hard work to become
successful - suggested that a 3-D model of the
Village Plan would allow better visualization for
prospective businesses. Warren Bradshaw,
Development Manager, commented favorably on the Plan
- suggested using video tape as a marketing tool for
the Village.

hearing was closed.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
DATE: NOVEMBER 24, 1987
APPLICANT: LANDMARK LAND CO.
OWNER: LANDMARK LAND CO.
PROPOSAL: TT 21123 (ONE-YEAR EXTENSION OF TIME REQUEST FOR
THE FILING OF A FINAL MAP CONCERNING A 20-LOT
SUBDIVISION ON 6.74+ ACRES WITHIN THE DUNA LA
QUINTA SPECIFIC PLAN AREA
LOCATION: GENERALLY WEST OF WASHINGTON STREET; +800 FEET
SOUTH OF AVENUE 50 (SEE ATTACHMENT #1)
GENERAL PLAN
DESIGNATION: MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (4-8 UNITS/ACRE)
ZONING: R-2-8000 (MULTI -FAMILY DWELLINGS, 8,000 SQUARE
FEET PER UNIT REQUIRED)
ENVIRONMENTAL
ASSESSMENT: AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (SCH. #83061305)
WAS PREPARED ON THE OVERALL DUNA LA QUINTA
SPECIFIC PLAN AREA #83-001 AND WAS CERTIFIED ON
APRIL 10, 1984. THE EIR ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED THE
IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH TT 21123.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
On November 5, 1985, the City Council approved the original Tentative
Tract No. 21123. The Applicant requests a time extension of one year
in which to record the final map. If approved, the new expiration
date would be November 5, 1988.
The subdivision, which creates 20 estate -type lots for the purpose of
development of custom single-family housing, is located in the Duna
La Quinta Specific Plan project. The tract is to be developed on
6.74 net acres with all lots facing north onto a portion of the La
Quinta Storm Water Channel. The proposed net project density is 2.97
units per acre, which is substantially less than that which is
currently approved for development on the site. The Duna La Quinta
Specific Plan concept approved up to five (5) units per acre,
equivalent to an ultimate gross site buildout of 40 units.
Avenida Los Verdes, the main private street access to the tract,
extends through the storm channel and branches out to the east and
west to serve the south portions of the lots (refer to Tract Map,
Attachment #2).
MR/STAFFRPT.017 1
® 0
Lot sizes within the tract range from 11,400 square feet to 21,950
square feet in area. The following is a breakdown of lot sizes:
LOT NUMBERS LOT SIZES (APPROX.)
13 through 19 ............... 11,400 square feet
2 through 8, 11 & 12 ........ 12,000 square feet
10 .......................... 14,100 square feet
9 14,700 square feet
1 15,800 square feet
20 21,950 square feet
Lot widths are generally between 95 and 100 feet with the exception
of the odd -shaped lots and those which have 70- to 80-foot widths.
Lot depths are generally 120 feet.
Attachment #3 shows a typical section through the tract at Lot #7,
with existing and proposed grades. The overall tract elevation is
+11 feet above the overall elevation of the Duna La Quinta Specific
Plan area. Existing conditions of approval limit building height to
29 feet. Attachment #4 shows the grade differential between the
Village Pointe project and Tentative Tract 21123. A condition of
approval for the original tract required emergency access from the
southwest cul-de-sac area of the tract to the Desert Club Drive
alignment. Attachment #5 shows the alignment as it relates to this
area of the tract and the Village Pointe apartment project. No final
map activity has taken place since the original approval.
ANALYSIS:
Consistency with the General Plan: The State Subdivision Map Act
(Section 66473.5) requires that a tentative map, including provisions
for its design and improvements, be consistent with the adopted
General Plan. Since the conditions of approval for TT 21123 were
adopted prior to the adoption of the La Quinta General Plan on
November 19, 1985, this review has been conducted.
Hazdards Element: Policy 3.6.10 of the La Quinta General Plan
requires a site -specific noise study to be prepared for all projects
within 2,800 feet of major street centerlines. This condition should
be incorporated into the conditions of approval. With the exception
of this policy, the tract, as conditionally approved, is consistent
with the General Plan.
Consistency with the Duna La
Quinta Specific Plan has been am
of these amendments occurred
21123 and specifically relate to
Quinta Specific Plan: The Duna La
nded three times since adoption, two
after the approval of Tentative Tract
this tract. They are as follows:
1. Specific Plan No. 83-001, Amendment No. 2; approval amending
six (6) acres within Duna La Quinta from
apartment/condominium land uses (13 dwellings per acre
maximum) to General Commercial; approved by City Council
November 5, 1985.
MR/STAFFRPT.017 2
E
0
2. Specific Plan No. 83-001, Amendment No. 3; Applicant
amending the Specific Plan deleting 66 acres and
redistributing densities within the Specific Plan area;
approved by City Council June 17, 1986.
The subject tract is located within Phase 3 of the Specific Plan
area. In conjunction with the tract approval on November 5, 1985,
the City Council also approved Amendment #2 to the Specific Plan
which reduced the density on Phase 3 from five units per acre to
three units per acre, for a total of 24 units. Amendment #3, which
was approved in June of 1986 with the Village Pointe project,
returned this Phase to its original density of five units per acre
maximum. Because the tract is within the Specific Plan density
limitations, is an integral part of a specific planned area, and no
revisions in land use types are involved, the request can be
considered consistent with the current Specific Plan approval. The
Applicant would have to amend the Specific Plan at a later date if
they were to increase density on other phases. Because the
difference in number of units permitted (40) and approved (24) is
minimal, a redistribution of 16 units at some further point would not
pose a potential issue.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
No amendments to the General Plan have been approved which would
substantially change the existing conditions. Some minor additional
conditions relative to landscaping and infrastructure fees are
proposed; however, staff proposes no major additions or amendments to
the existing conditions, other than revising their format to reflect
only those which still apply to the project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 87-016, to recommend to the
City Council approval of the first one-year extension of time for
Tentative Tract 21123, subject to conditions as revised.

PLANNING CODM9ISSION
CITY OF LA QUINTA
Gentlemen:
The La Quinta Chamber of Commerce Committee appointed to review the Village
at La Quinta Specific Plan dated September, 1987, hereby submits the
following comments and recommendations:
Our committee feels that the plan as presented would give us a creative
and unique identity, very important because of our isolated location, and
that it encompasses attractive ideas for the development of the Village
area.
We feel that a Village Plan Implementation Committee (or similar designation),
of no more than 12 people appointed by the City should be formed. It is our
recommendation that this committee be comprised of architects, engineers,
contractors, realtors, and other business and professional representatives
to assist in the formalization of the Specific Plan by determining the
following:
1. Cost of the project to the City.
2. Cost of the project to the developers.
A. Cost requirements of the City of La Quinta.
B. Cost requirements of Coachella Valley Water District.
C. Cost requirements of any Special Assessment District.
3. How much per square foot could prospective tenants pay and
maintain a reasonable profit.
4. Financing programs available for development of the Specific
Plan:
A. Public funds.
B. Private funds.
Additional discussion brought up the following questions:
1. How does future development of the Desert Club project relate
to this plan? Should it be taken into consideration as a possible
anchor- at the south end of the Village?
2. How does the design of Tampico from Desert Club to Washington relate
to this plan? Should the design carry to the proposed park at Calle
Ronda?
3. We feel that the design of the new Civic Center should be compatible
with the Village Specific Plan. What about the area between the
Civic Center and the Village? Will they be connected and relate
to each other?
4. How does the location and access to the Post Office relate to the
plan? Will it remain in its current location, and if so, for how
long?
5. What about pedestrian access to the park? How will the park be
utilized as a location within the Village?
We recommend that the City Council create a Village Plan Implementation
Committee as suggestRmabove, and that upon a favorable report as to the feasibility
of the plan, we recomund adoption of the plan.
Respectfully submitted,
