The applicant, Landmark Land Co., i.ng approval of tentative Tract 18765
Amended #1 a 19 acre parcel locateds re of Eisenhower Drive and south of Avenida
Fernando within the newly incorporated La Quinta City limits and Revised Specific
Plan 121-E. The 9.2 acres of the site have been developed with 17 tennis courts,
4 additional courts are planned. Construction of the tennis courts prior to approval
of the revised specific plan was permitted under Plot Plan 5829, approved January
1981. The remaining 10 acres are still in a date grove, these acres are the site
for tentative Tract 18765 Amended #1. As part of the tennis club the 10 acres will
be developed with 108 statutory condominium units.
The orientation of the condominiums feature the primary theme of the development as
the tennis complex. Specific landscaping, parking, treatment of the perimeter walls
and other design information is unavailable and, if required, will be submitted to
the city at a later date. The developer has requested this latitude to retain fea-
sibility of design.
Specific Plan 121-E revised, approved by the La Quinta City Council September 12,
1982, allowed for the addition of acreage and drainage facilities to the specific
plan and subject to the density transfers. The 19.23 acre parcel labeled "not a
part" in the original Specific Plan has been included. A complex of tennis courts
and 200 condominiums were approved in the revised specific plan site. The develop-
ment proposed in Tract 18765 will include 21 tennis courts and 108 condominium
units. The remaining 92 units approved under the revised specific plan can be
developed elsewhere in the specific plan area at the discretion of the developer.

GENERAL PLAN
In accordance with the previously adopted Specific Plan 121-E, the function of 'the
revised specific 121-E is to serve as an implementation device for the Cove Communi-
ties General Plan. The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the 19 acre
site as Low Density Residential, 3-5 dwelling units per acre. Urban land uses are
planned for the subject property in the Open Space and Conservation elements of the
General Plan.
Through the mechanism of a specific plan a transfer of densities can be accomplished
so that clustered types of dwelling units and associated common recreation areas can
be developed. The resulting density of the development initiated through Tract No.
18765 Amended #1 will be 5.4 units per acre. The density is somewhat higher than the
maximum allowed under the General Plan designation of low density residential, how-
ever, the density is made consistent through the allowance of 200 units for the site
in the revised specific plan.
Change of Zone 3491, approved with Specific Plan 121-E, facilitated the R-3 zoning
designation necessary for the proposal. Change of Zone 3491 was approved by La Quinta
City Council October 5, 1982.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
An Environmental Impact Report #41 was previously certified with approval of Specific
Plan 121-E by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors in April, 1975. Based upon
the EIR Environmental Assessment No. 15626 was adopted with approval of the revised
specific plan. Environmental hazards and potential impacts identified in the initial
study 16485 particularly associated with Tract 18765 included the following issues:
SCHOOLS
As a vacation and retirement home type development, the present project would have
no significant impacts on the Desert Sands Unified School District which serves the
area. However, should the school district file a notice of impaction, with the
county, the developer shall be required to adequately mitigate school impacts prior
to the issuance of the building permits.
AIR QUALITY
Short term air quality impacts of exhaust from construction equipment and dust from
grading and construction would be experienced during the temporary construction per-
iod. These impacts would be minor in nature and can be adequately mitigated by
watering of dust prone areas and confinement of construction activities to normal
working hours.
From a longer term prospective, the emissions from automobile traffic would consti-
tute the major air quality impact for the life of the project. From a regional
perspective, the additional air pollution would be relatively insignificant. Also,
the nature of the project would lead to the greatest levels of traffic and pollution
on weekends when permanent residents would be driven less. "Peak" traffic volumes
would be minimal because traffic would tend to be very spread out rather than
U �,
Tract'18765 Amended #1
PC Hearing Date: 10/12/82

concentrated in a to and from work pattern inherent in a development of permanent
residents.
WATER
Water services to the original hotel units and the previously existing portions of
the golf course is provided by an on -site well owned and operated by Landmark Land
Company. New construction will be serviced by the domestic water services of the
Coachella Valley Water District.
SEWER
Existing development in the La Quinta Country Club area is connected via "wet" sewer
lines to a septic tank and seepage pit system. The sewage is collected at a "wet"
well located at Avenue 50 and Eisenhower, and then transported to an interim treat-
ment plant located at Adams and 52nd. Ave. After treatment at the plant, the treat-
ed effluent is spread over adjacent alfalfa fields.
The interim treatment plant is operated by the Coachella Valley Water District.
This facility is presently the only sewage facility other than individual septic
tanks serving the La Quinta area. Although figures on the available capacity of
the interim plant are unavailable, CVWD has stated that this facility was designed
to accomodate all units planned within the Landmark Land Specific Plan and Revised
Specific Plan. In response to concerns regarding adequacy of existing sewage cap-
acity for Tract 18765 and future developments by Landmark Land and other developers,
CVWD officials calimed that they were not able to predict when the existing facility
would reach capacity. However, they would "provide sanitation service in accordance
with our currently prevailing regulations governing sanitation service".
A permanent sewage treatment plant for the La Quinta area is planned by CVWD.
Previous efforts to find a permanent site have met with substantial community
opposition. Presently, CVWD is working on a draft EIR for two potential sites.
The site preferred by CVWD is located just West of Lake Cahuilla, however, this
site has encountered opposition from surrounding property owners. The second site
is located at Thermal Airport. CVWD officials estimate that the permanent treat-
ment plant for La Quinta will be built in two/three years.
Sewage service to the 108 units in Tract 18765 will be provided by the interim
treatment plant until the permanent facility is constructed by CVWD. There is no
assurance however, that the temporary facility has available capacity to serve the
new development for an unknown length of time.
Staff maintains concern over the practice of continuing use of the interim facility
for an indefinite period of time when the actual capacity of this facility is in
question. Staff additionally maintains concern over approval of new tract maps with
development dependent upon mitigation not currently available nor a foreseeable time
frame for that mitigation.

FIRE
Fire Protection is provided to the site by the Riverside County Fire Department.
The nearest station is located at 78-136 Avenue 52 in La Quinta. Although some
additional services will eventually be required by the subject project, no spe-
cific additional manpower or equipment requirements have been mandated by the
Fire Department.
FLOOD
Shallow flooding could occur on the project property. However, no significant
flood dangers will exist for the proposed development following construction of
the La Quinta Evacuation Channel which is now in progress.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
Tract 18765 Amended #1 is consistent with that as approved in Revised Specific
Plan 121-E.
Tract 18765 is consistent with Riverside County General Plan and compatible
with the surrounding resort development.
Specific Plan 121-E was approved and the associated Final Environmental Impact
Report #41 was certified in April, 1975 by the Board of Supervisors. Revised
Specific Plan 121-E and the associated Negative Declaration was approved by
La Quinta City Council September, 1982.
Environmental impacts and urban service demands of this project will be min-
imized by the nature of the development (second and retirement homes). These
impacts can be mitigated and services can be provided by incorporating the
measures outlined in the Final Environmental Impact Report #41. Tentative
Tract 18765 Amended #1 is not subject to any significant environmental hazards
nor is it expected to create any significant environmental impact.
Existing sewer facilities may be inadequate for the
in addition to the already approved developments and
under the revised Specific Plan. Future permanent s
provide mitigation for the existing situation are st
stages with significant issues to be resolved.
RECOMMENDATION

Therefore, staff recommends ADOPTION of the Negative Declaration for Environmental
Assessment No. 16485 and APPROVAL of Tentative Tract 18765 Amended #1 subject to

It will be necessary for the financial arrangements to be made prior to the
recordation of the final map.
The project site must be annexed to Improvement District #55 for sewer
service. The existing subsurface sewage system on site must be properly
abandoned when sewers are made available.
An acceptable covenant having to do with the maintenance and operation
of recreational facilities must be filed with this Department. We will
accept this covenant as a tentative agreement, and it will be necessary
to record all covenants or agreements, etc., involving the recreational
facilities, with the Recorder, County of Riverside, and a copy of the

undue hardship or otherwise would be unreasonable.
