ANALYSIS:
PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS
The applicant is requesting approval of a change of zone and tentative subdivision map
on 27± acres. The proposed change of zone from R-2-8,000, R-1 and R-5 to R-2-8,000
and R-5 must be approved by the La Quinta City Council before the subdivision can be
acted upon. R-5 zoning would be applied to golf course areas and the R-2-8,000
zoning would allow single, duplex and triplex units proposed in the tentative tract.
Tentative Tract No. 18767 proposes 82 statutory condomonium units on a two lot sub-
division, one lot being dedicated to golf course and the second for residential de-
velopment, Additional improvements include three swimming pools and jacuzzi's and
associate parking. The Coachella Valley Water District Flood control channel which
bounds the southern portion of the subdivision has been improved in golf course. The
project has been designed in accordance with the County standards for Planned Resi-
dential Developments as defined in County Ordinance 348, Section 18.5.
GENERAL PLAN AND SPECIFIC PLAN ISSUES
The proposed change of zone and tentative tract #18767 are compatible with surrounding
zoning and land uses, respectively. The proposed zoning and tract are also consistent
with the Cove Communities General Plan land use designations of Medium Density and
Low Density Residential and with County policies.

Staff Report, Combined
Pg. 2.
The subdivision's southwest corner lies within an area addressed in Revised
Specific Plan No. 121 as approved in October, 1982 by the La Quinta City Council.
This portion of the project is also contiguous to Tentative Tract #18766 and is
consistent with the revised specific plan's designation for Medium Density
development.
RELATED ISSUES:
The Health Department has expressed concern regarding the adequacy of a temporary
subsurface sewage disposal system operated and maintained by Coachella Valley Water
District. DVWD has recently selected a site for permanent waste treatment facilities
to serve the area..
Traffic congestion on 50th Avenue, Eisenhower and Washington Streets will be increased
with the development of the proposed 82 units. Addressed by the County Road Depart-
ment in comments for Revised Specific Plan No. 175, continued development will
require the installation of signalization and improvements to area roads.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES:
The project site is protected from stormwater flows by the Oleander reservoir and
the La Quinta Evacuation Channel. No significant environmental impacts are expected
to result from the proposed changes of zoning nor from the subdivision. Neither do
any environmental hazards exist at the site which preclude these projects.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS ON CHANGE OF ZONE CASE NO. 3879
1. The proposed change of zone is consistent with the Land Use Element of the Cove
Communities General Plan which designates this site as Low Density and Medium
Density Residential and Commercial.
2. The proposed zoning would allow Tentative Tract No. 18767 to record if approved
by the La Quinta City Council.
3. That portion of the subject property lying within the limits of Revised Specific
Plan of Land Use No. 121 designates that portion of the site as Medium Density
Residential.
4. No significant environmental impacts are expected to result from this change of
zone, nor do environmental hazards exist which preclude it.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based upon the above findings and conclusions, staff recommends ADOPTION of the
Negative Dect=ration #16680 and APPROVAL of Change of Zone Case No. 3879.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS ON TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 18767
1. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the Cove Communities Land Use Desig-
nation of Low Density and Medium Density Residential and with County Policies.
2. The proposed subdivision is consistent with Specific Plan of Land Use No. 121
which applies to a small portion of the project.

This area is protected from stormwater flows by Oleander Reservoir and the
La Quints Evacuation Channel and may be considered safe from stormwater
flows except in rare instances. This area has been designated as Zone A3
on the Federal Flood Insurance rate maps. However, we believe the A3
designation will be changed at the next revision of the maps due to the
construction of Oleander Reservoir and the La Quinta Evacuation Channel.
The District will furnish domestic water and sanitation service to this
area in accordance with the current regulations of this District.
This area shall be annexed to Improvement District No. of Coachella Valley

Subject: Tentative Tract Map No. 18,767
Gentlemen:
With respect to the Conditions of Approval for the referenced tentative
land division iinap, the Road Department recommends that the land divider provide
the following street improvements and/or road dedications in accordance with
Ordinance No. 460 and Riverside County Road Improvement Standards (Ordinance
No. 461). It is understood that the tentative map correctly shows all existing
easements, traveled ways, and drainage courses with appropriate Q's, and that
their omission may require the map to be resubmitted for further consideration.
These Ordinances and the following conditions are essential parts and a
requirement occurring in ONE is as binding as though occurring in all. They
are intended to be complementary and to describe the conditions for a complete
design of the improvement. All questions regarding the true meaning of the
conditions shall be referred to the Road Commissioner's Office.
The land divider shall protect downstream properties from
damages caused by alteration of the drainage patterns, i.e.,
concentration or diversion of flow. Protection shall be
provided by constructing adequate drainage facilities including
enlarging existing facilities or by securing a drainage easement
or by both. All drainage easements shall be shown on the final
map and noted as follows: "Drainage Easement - no buildings,
obstructions, or encroachments by land fills are allowed". The
protection shall be as approved by the Road Department.
The land divider shall accept and properly dispose of all off -site
drainage flowing onto or through the site. In the event the Road
Commissioner permits the use of streets for drainage purposes, the
provisions of Article XI of Ordinance No. 460 will apply. Should
the quantities exceed the street capacity or the use of streets be
prohibited for drainage purposes, the subdivider shall provide
adequate drainage facilities as approved by the Road Department.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
From: Sandra Bonner, Aosooiate Planner
Date: January 10, 1983
Subject: Change of Zone Case No. 3879 and Tentative Treat Map No. 18767
At the Planning Commission Study Session on January 59 1983, the following items
were discussed regarding the above mentioned cases:
1. The appropriateness of the requested change of zone.
2. The proposed heights of the condominiums.
3. The setback of the wall and the landscaping treatment
along Avenue 50.
4. The street design of the project's entryway.
Change of Zone Request
The requested change of zone from R-2-80009 R-1 and R-5 to R-2-8000 and R-5 is
consistent with the surrounding zoning and the proposed development of this site.
The R-2-8000 zoning would permit approximately five unite per acre, which is
consistent with the General Plan and the existing residential development located
to the north.
Building Height
Landmark Land Company submitted amended floor plane and elevations for the
proposed unite (Eahibits B and C. respectively). Additional information was also
presented showing which unit design would be placed on each lot. As proposed,
three-story units will be placed along the flood control channel levee, with the
remainder of the site developed with one-story unite. After an inspection of the
site, it was determined that the taller units along the rear of the lot would be
visually compatible with the adjacent development to the north due to both their
large setback and the screening which will be provided by the wall along Avenue 50.
Therefore, staff recommends that Condition No. 23 be amended as followas
The layout of the structures shall conform with Exhibit "Aug
unless otherwise amended by the conditions of approval. Unit
designs shall conform with Exhibits "B" and "C", amended.

Setback and Landscaping Alone Avenue 50
As proposed, the six --foot high masonry wall along this street will be on the property
Line or 12 feet back from the curb face. According to the road standard, this would
allow for a 6-foot-wide sidewalk and 5J feet of landscaping. The Commission's and
staff's concern was that this amount of landscaping would be inadequate and that a
wider strip would be necessary for more attractive design treatment of this frontage.
There was also discussion about requiring the wall to be curved or jogged in order to
break up the line of this long well. A Commission"aoo recommended that instead of a
straight sidewalk abutting the curb, a meandering walkway be eat back in the land-
scaped area.
Based on the above concerns, staff recommends that the conditions be amended as
follows:
#15 - Prior to the issuance of occupancy permits, the developer
shall construct a six -foot -high decorative block wall
along -Avenue 50, with the wall setback being a minimun of
('10 feet from the property line unless otherwise approved
by the Director of Community Development. Plans showing

ANALYSIS:
The applicant, Landmark Land Company, is requesting approval of Tentative Tract #18766.
A request to subdivide 15.47 acres into a Planned Residential Development with 32 sta-
tutory condominium units and a portion of the golf course. The acreage will be divided
into three lots. 10.14+ acres will be used for the golf course, and 6.31 acres will be
developed with the dwelling units. Tract #18766 meets and exceeds the Open Space Area
requirements as prescribed by Ordinance 348 and the Planned Residential Development
standards.
Change of Zone Case No, 3491, approved by La Quinta City Council October 5, 1982,
facilitated the R-2 and R-5 zoning necessary for the tract. The site zoning coincides
with the proposed land uses; with R-5 on the golf course and R-2 for the developed
portions. Each dwelling unit has a combined building and open space area of 6,529
square feet, Lots 2 and 3 are zoned R-5, a zone which is applied to those areas within
subdivisions that provide Open Space and Recreational facilities for the project, and
through the zone, assure the continued land use as open space.
Specific Plan #121-E, and the revised plan are to serve as an implementation device
for the Cove Communities General Plan. The Land Use Element of the General Plan desig-
nates the site as Very Low Density Residential, 0-3 dwelling units per acre. Urban
land uses are planned for the subject property in the open space and conservation
element 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 density resulting from the development initiated through Tract #18766
will be two units per acre overall, consistent with the General Plan and the revised
specific plan.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT_
An Environ_nwntal 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 #15626 was adopted with approval of the revised
specific plan. Environmental hazards and potential impacts identified in the initial
study #16538 done for Tract #18766 included the following issues:
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 period.
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.
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 plan located at Adams and 52nd Avenues. After treatment at the plant, the
treated 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, Coachella Valley Water District has stated that this facility
was designed to accommodate all units planned within the Landmark Land Specific Plan
and Revised Specific Plan. In response to concerns regarding adequacy of existing
sewage capacity for Tract #18766 and future developments by Landmark Land Company
and other developers, CVWD officials claimed 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."
Coachella Valley Water District on December 29, 1982 approved a site for the permanent
sewage treatment plant located generally west of Lake Cahuilla on the west side of the
dike on Avenue 61. Coachella Valley Water District officials estimate that the perma-
nent treatment plant for La Quinta will be built in two to three years. This facility
will be suitable to handle the sewage generated from Tract #18766.
Sewage service to the 32 units in Tract #18766 will be provided by the interim treat-
ment plant until the permanent facility is constructed by CVWD.
0Ze
Tentative Tract #18766
L.Q.C.C.
Staff Report
Pg. 3.
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.
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 specific 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.
ROAD
Hs part of the conditions of approval for revised Specific Plan #121-E, the Road
Department recommended a specific schedule of improvements for the existing street
system to mitigate impacts created by the development approved under the specific plan.
The Road Department letter dated January 26, 1982, copy attached, stated that prior to
the issuance of any building or development permits for any dwelling units exceeding
750 including hotel units, the project will contribute towards the installation of
traffic signals according to the proportions outlined in that letter. To date,
including Tract #18766, 731 dwelling units have been approved within the boundaries
of the specific plan. Staff would recommend that the City Council begin requiring
compliance with the Road Department letter dated January 26, 1982 as reflected in
Conditon of approval #8, for all future tract maps.
FINDINGS:
1. Tract #18766 is consistent with the Cove Communities General Plan Land Use
designation of Very Low Density Residential, 0-3 dwelling units per acre.
2. Tract #18766 meets all area requirements of the Planned Residential Development
standards and the site is suitable for the project as proposed.
3. Tract #18766 is consistent with Revised Specific Plan #121-E.
4. Specific Plan #121-E was approved, and Final Environmental Impact Report #41
certified in April, 1975, by Riverside County Board of Supervisors. Revised
Specific Plan #121-E was approved and the negative declaration adopted by the
La Quinta City Council in October, 1982. The initial study prepared for
EA#16538 did not identify any significant environmental hazards or environmental
impacts resulting from the development proposed by Tract #18766.
5. Existing sewer facilities may be inadequate for the build -out of this project in
addition to the already approved developments and future units approved under the
Revised Specific Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
Therefore, staff recommends ADOPTION of the Negative Declaration for EA#16538; and
APPROVAL of Tentative Tract Map #18766, subject to the attached conditions. In
conformance with Exhibits "A", B and C.

No. 460 and Riverside County Road Improvement Standards (Ordinance 461). It is
understood that the Tentative Map correctly shows all existing easements, traveled
ways and drainage courses with appropriate Q's, and that their omission may require
the map to be resubmitted for further consideration. These Ordinances and the
following conditions are essential parts, and a requirement occurring in ONE is as
binding as though occurring in all. They are intended to be complementary and to
describe the conditions for a complete design of the improvement. All questions
regarding the true meaning of the conditions shall be referred to the Road Com-
missioner's Office,
The Landdivider shall protect downstream properties from damages caused
by alteration of the drainage patterns, i.e., concentration or diversion
of flow. Protection shall be provided by constructing adequate drainage
facilities including enlarging existing facilities or by securing a
drainage easement or by both. All drainage easements shall be shown on
the final map and noted as follows: "Drainage Easement - no buildings,
obstructions, or encroachments by land fills are allowed". The protec-
tion shall be as approved by the Road Department.
The Landdivider shall accept and properly dispose of all offsite drainage
I'lowing onto or through the site. In the event the Road Commissioner
permits the use of streets for drainage purposes, the provisions of
Article XI of Ordinance No. 460 will apply. Should the quantities exceed
the street capacity or the use of streets be prohibited for drainage pur-
poses, the subdivider shall provide adequate facilities as approved by
the Road Department.
The major interior access street shall be improved in accordance with
County Standard No. 105, Section "A" Modified (36') and shall not exceed
1,320' in length.

This area Is protected from stormwater flows by Oleander Reservoir and the
La Quinta Evacuation Channel and may be considered safe from stormwater flows
except in rare instances. This area has been designated as Zone A3 on the
Federal Flood Insurance rate maps. However, we believe the A3 designation
will be changed at the next revision of the maps due to the construction of
Oleander Reservoir and the La Quinta Evacuation Channel.
The District will furnish domestic water and sanitation service to this
area in accordance with the current regulations of this District.
This area shall be annexed to Improvement District No. 55 of Coachella Valley
Water District for sanitation service.
There may be conflicts with existing District facilities. We request the
appropriate public agency to withhold the issuance of a building permit
until arrangements have been made with the District for the relocation of
these facilities.
