Chairman Thornburgh requested the roll call. The Secretary called the roll: Present: Commissioners Brandt, De Gasperin, Moran, Walling and Chairman Thornburgh Absent: None Also present were Community Development Director Lawrence L. Stevens, Principal Planner Sandra L. Bonner, Assistant Planner Tamara Campbell and Secretary Donna M. Velotta. HEARINGS A. Chairman Thornburgh introduced the hearing item as Plot Plan No. 85-147, a request to construct a tennis club facility and a golf clubhouse on a 20±-acre site within the resort village core area of the PGA West development; Landmark Land Company, Applicant. He called for the Staff Report. 1. Principal Planner Sandra L. Bonner stated that the Applicant is proposing the construction of tennis and golf clubhouses located in the village core area of the approved PGA West Specific Plan. The site is approximately in the middle of the PGA West project. It is a 20-acre portion of a 30-acre parcel. The development will consist of the following: a golf culbhouse intended to serve both the two adjacent courses, and a tennis club which will consist of a clubhouse, 20 proposed courts and an additional 40 future courts. Both facilities will use a central parking area and will also have one main access off PGA Boulevard. The tennis club will also have a separate service access. Services and access to the site will be from PGA Boulevard. The golf clubhouse will be approximately 62,000 square feet and will contain dining facilities, bar/lounge, pro shop, administrative offices, locker rooms and other accessory facilities for members. The tennis clubhouse will be approximately 8800 square feet and will also have similar facilities. Both facilities have contemporary style. Materials will be stucco and both will have aggregate concrete columns to accent. Regarding general consistency with the approved specific plan, the proposed tennis club and golf clubhouse are designated permitted uses in the resort village core area. The location of these facilities is also consistent with the approved site and open space plans which place the major recreational and clubhouse facilities at the center of the project to ensure easy access for all the residents of "PGA West". Finally, the clubs's locations along PGA Boulevard ensures that traffic generated by these facilities does not travel through the residential areas. With regard to access to the site, Staff has concerns with the Applicant's proposal to provide a separate service road from PGA Boulevard to the east side of the tennis club. Staff, including the City Engineer, recommends that this service road access the main parking lot, based on the following reasons: MINUTES - PLANNING COMMISSION June 11, 1985 Page 2. ° As stated in the report for the PGA West satellite maintenance building located on Madison Street, Staff recommends that median cuts not be provided for minor uses. Limiting the number of areas of cross traffic on streets improves traffic flow and safety. ° PGA Boulevard will carry significant amounts of traffic when the project is built out. In addition to this recreational facility, the specific plan allows a 400-room hotel, 250 condominium/apartment/additional hotel units, and up to 50,000± square feet of additional building area which may be developed as office space. Also, PGA Boulevard provides access to the future residential areas located in the south of the project. ° Easy and safe access to the tennis club can be provided through the main club entrance, which is located on 320 feet to the north and which will be improved to a major intersection. ° The Applicant's reasoning of wanting to separate service vehicles from those of the club guests is not consistent with their pro- posed site plan. The service road for the golf clubhouse, a 62,400-square-foot facility with 11,900± square feet of dining and barroom facilities, accesses directly off the southwest corner of the parking lot. Based upon the above considerations, it would be appropriate to consider future traffic levels on PGA Boulevard and to plan accord- ingly to minimize potential future traffic hazards by requiring this service road to access the parking area. Regarding on -site circulation, a major concern of Staff is the location of the north -south aisle nearest to PGA Boulevard at the main entrance to the facilities. Because of the small separation between PGA Boulevard and this aisle (50 feet), there may be a safety hazard created by conflicts between cross traffic within the parking lot and vehicles entering and leaving the facility. Staff recommends that this intersection be deleted by closing this aisle on both sides of the main parking lot entry road. Staff also recommends that the aisle adjacent to the tennis club be widened to provide for a passenger loading area. A serious concern regards the provision of sanitary sewer to this clubhouse site. Although the comments from Coachella Valley Water District state that sanitary service will be provided, CVWD staff have indicated that a temporary on -site septic system may be installed on the site until such time that connection to the new regional plant is possible. The District is in the process of purchasing a site and obtaining approvals for a treatment facility in the area of Thermal Airport and no reliable completion date has been given. The continued use of private systems and temporary/ interim facilities needs to be carefully evaluated. Extensive development utilizing such facilities is not desirable. Ms Bonner stated that based on the findings in the Staff Report that the proposal is consistent with the approved "PGA West" specific plan and the La Quinta General Plan, that the request is consistent with the zoning, that construction of the proposed project, in accordance with the conditions of approval, will not have a detri- mental effect on the health and safety of the public and construction of the proposed project will be compatible with existing area develop- ment, and that significant impacts on the environment will be mitigated to the extent feasible by adherence to the conditions of approval, Staff recommends approval of Plot Plan No. 85-147, in accordance with Exhibits A, B, C and D, and subject to the attached conditions of approval, as amended. MINUTES — PLANNING COMMISSION June 11, 1985 Page 3. Chairman Thornburgh opened the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. Kaye Chandler, Vice President, Landmark Land Company, spoke as the Applicant in favor of the project, answering the concerns of Staff mentioned previously. Robert Altevers, 934 Goldenrod, Corona Del Mar, who is the Architect for the project, spoke in favor of same. Forrest Haag, representative of Landmark Land Company, had questions regarding infrastructure fees. After lengthy discussion, the following changes to the conditions were requested by the Commission: Condition No, ll.a. changed to read as follows: "ll.a.

Prior to the issuance of building permits, the Applicant shall submit plans to the Community Development Department for review and approval showing the design and screening of the service and delivery entrance for both the golf and tennis clubhouses." The above public hearing was closed at 7:19 p.m. There being no further discussion on this matter, Chairman Chairman called for a motion. 2. Commissioner Walling made a motion to approve Plot Plan No. 84-147 based on the findings in the Staff Report, in accordance with Exhibits A, B, C and D and subject to the attached conditions of approval, as amended.
