SLB:dmv ® 9 M I N U T E S PLANNING COMMISSION - CITY OF LA QUINTA A regular meeting held at the Ia Quinta City Hall, 78-105 Calle Estado, La Quinta, California October 11, 1983 7:00 p.m. 1. CALL TO ORDER A. Chairman John Klimkiewicz called the planning Ccnmission meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. He then called upon Ccfrmissioner ImkanP to lead the flag salute. 2. ROLL CALL A. Chairman Klimkiewicz requested the roll call. The Secretary called the roll: Present: Ccmnissicners Salas, Damp, Thornburgh and Chairman Klimkiewicz Absent: Cannissioner Paul Goetcheus A motion was made by Commissioner Thornburgh and seconded by Ccmnissioner Inkamp to excuse Cminissioner Goetcheus. Also present were City Manager Frank Usher, Principal Planner Sandra Bonner and Secretary Donna Velotta. 3. HEARINGS A. Chairman Klimkiewicz introduced the public hearing stating that it was regarding Tentative Tract Map No. 14496, Revised No. 1, a request by Anden Group to consider a revision to their previously approved tentative tract map to allow condominium units. The property is located west of Eisenhower Drive at Avenue 50. Anden Group is the applicant. He then called upon staff for their report. 1. Sandra Bonner, principal Planner, explained that the Applicant is requesting approval to revise a portion of the tentative tract map for the Santa Rosa Cove development. The previous map showed individual lots for each dwelling. The Applicant proposes to change the unrecorded portions of the tract to statutory condaninituns, whereby only the units or the buildings are sold while the land remains in caawn undivided ownership. The revision will apply only to phases four through seven; final maps for the first three phases have already been recorded. Ms. Bonner advised that the purpose of this request is to allow the Applicant more flexibility than allowed by the present tract map. Currently, the lots are approximately the same size as the dwellings. TAbenever the Applicant wishes to build a larger dwelling on the lot than originally proposed, they must adjust the lot lines to increase the size of the parcel accordingly. Six lot line adjustments have been approved by the City for this purpose. Approval of this revised map will allow the Applicant more flexibility in choosing the size of each dwelling and will eliminate the need for lot line ad7ustments.� 0 y MINUTES - PLANNING CCWISSION October 11, 1983 Page Two. She went on to explain that the revised map proposes three changes in the street plan from the previously approved tract map. The changes are: ° The cul-de-sac on Lot 12 has been changed so that the bulb or turn -around area has been moved from the end of the street to a mint approximately 250 feet from the end of the road. ° The streets on Lots 14 through 16 have been changed from a "y" design to two cul-de-sacs. ° The streets on Lots 18 through 21 have been changed to eliminate one cul-de-sac and to provide for more open space area. In response to these changes: ° The fire marshall has requested that the curie -sacs on Lot 12 be placed at the end of the street to provide required turn- around area for fire engines. ° The City Engineer recommends that streets on Lots 14 through 16 be shortened to a maximum of 600 feet in length. The basis for this requirement is that if the entrance to the cul-de-sac was blocked by an accident or disabled vehicle, fire hoses could be extended a maximum of 600 feet. This requirement is consistent with the standards of other cities in the Coachella Valley. Our current ordinance allows 1,320-foot cul-de-sac streets at present and it has been discussed re lowering our standards to accommodate fire equipment. The cul-de-sac street in question is 856 feet in length. At this time, there was a short discussion in regards to traffic volume, street widths and visitor parking for this area. Ms. Bonner noted that the Applicant had requested a change in the total number of units; however, the Planning Commission agreed to leaving the number of units approved originally stand. She also informed the Planning Commission that although it is not a Dart of this revised tract map, the Applicant has agreed to install a sidewalk along the west side of Eisenhower Drive from Avenida Mazatlan to the southern tract boundary. Further, as a condition of approval for Specific Plan No. 121-E, of which this tract is a part, the Applicant shall submit plans to the City for approval showing the proposed bicycle circulation system within the tract. Ms. Bonner stated that staff has not received any written comments for or .- against the proposed revision from the adjoining property owners. The property owner's association's Board of Directors has stated that the proposed change will have no effect on the association. Based upon the above findings, staff requested that the Planning c mmission approve this request. MINUTES - PLANNING MM'IISSION October 11, 1983 Page Three. Chairman Klimkiewicz then opened the hearing for public cacment. John Canty of J. F. Davidson, speaking in behalf of Anden Corporation, stated that they had concerns with some of the conditions required of this project. Those concerns are in the conditions imposed by the City Engineer in his letter of September 23, 1983, and the requirement to submit a bicycle circulation plan to the City, which Mr. Canty stated does not affect the development of this project. As there were no other public camients, Chairman Klimkiewicz closed the public hearing. After further discussion regarding the conditions of approval, the following additions to the conditions were approved; 16. All street curves shall have a m;n;tman radius of 100', with the exception of Lot "F", which shall be constructed as shown on Exhibit "A". 17. There shall be a minimum 12-foot-wide emergency vehicle access easement connecting the ends of Lots "F" and "G". Chairman Klinkiewicz then called for a motion. 2. Commissioner Thornburgh made a motion to approve Tentative Tract Map No. 14496, Revised No. 1, subject to the attached conditions as amended, and adoption of the negative declaration prepared for the environmental assessment. Commissioner Imkamp seconded the motion. Unanimously adopted. 4. CONSENT CALENDAR A. Motion made by Chairman Klimkiewicz, seconded by Cc missioner Salas, to adopt the Consent Calendar approving the minutes of September 13, 1983. 1. The minutes of the regular meeting of'September 13, 1983, were approved as submitted. Unanimously adopted. B. Nbtion made by Chairman Klimkiewicz, seconded by Commissioner Salas, to adopt the Consent Calendar approving the minutes of September 27, 1983. 1. The minutes of the adjourned meeting of September 27, 1983, were approved as submitted. Unanimously adopted. 5. BUSINESS A. Chairman Klimkiewicz introduced the first item under business as being a review of Plot Plan No. 83-030, a request to construct a single-family house at the northeast corner of Avenida Montero and Calle Orense; Garvey Development, Applicant. He then called for staff's report. MINUTES - PLANNING CCRESSION October 11, 1983 Page Four. 1. Principal Planner Sandra Bonner stated that the Applicant intends to sell the house upon completion. He has no other houses under construction in the City, but does have one campleted and vacant house on San Lucas. The siting or location of the house is con- sistent with both the development in the area and the zoning requirements. The house will have 1,755 square feet of liveable area, three bedrooms with minimum 10-foot width and depth dimensions, two 3/4 bathrocnns and an attached double -car garage. The exterior appearance of the house will show stucco walls with a clay barrel tile roof. The height of the house will be 13� feet. Ms. Bonner stated that a detailed landscaping plan will be required prior to issuance of a building permit. Full street irrprovements, including curb and gutter, exist along Avenida Montero and Calle Orense. Both of these streets have been tentatively approved by the City for vacation of the public right of way. Based on these findings, staff recanrnnds that the Planning Cc mdssion approve this request. There being no further discussion, Chairman Klimkiewicz called for a motion. 2. Camdssioner Salas made a motion to approve Plot Plan No. 83-030 in accordance with Exhibits A, B and C and subject to the attached conditions. Co mtiissicner Thornburgh seconded the motion. Unanimously adopted. B. Chairman Klimkiewicz introduced the next item of business as being a report from the City Manager regarding the Redevelopment Plan for the La Quinta Redevelopment Project. Frank Usher, City Manager, began his report by referring the Planning ca nissieners to the copies of the Redevelopment Plan Report that had been given them. He explained that this report contains the item that the California Redevelopment Law requires for a redeveloprent plan. The basic thrust of this entire Redevelopment Plan is to get some major flood control work done to prevent the possibility of catastrophic flooding in the cove and flat areas. He noted that in the plan report under "Goals and objectives", it states that a particular objective is the provision of necessary improvements required to protect the project area properties from damage of flooding due to rainwater runoff from the surrounding mountains. Mr. Usher explained that other goals and objectives are of a general nature and are listed in the report. With regard to eminent domain, this plan removes the right of eminent domain on any property that is zoned residential for the purpose of con- veying that property to another private party. Mr. Usher explained that sane redevelopment projects are used to acquire land in order to turn it over to a developer to form sane type of developient - usually ccmiercial. If there is a need for residential land for other public purposes - flood control or any other public purposes where the land would remain in public cam ercial - that is permissible. However, we have not provided tax increment funds for the purpose of acquiring land. LJ'" MINUTES - PLANNING COAMffSSION October 11, 1983 Page Five. Going on to the tax increment draw, Mr. Usher explained that the entire tax increment draw is limited to being $61,970,000. This amount may have changed during the course of fiscal review process with the other taxing agencies, but this amount is calculated to be enough to cover the cost of the necessary bonds and debt service for our flood control project and to cover administrative costs over the 35-year life of the project. The various taxing agencies, probably during the course of fiscal review, will require sane tax increment passed through to them. Legally, if they do require that, we have to increase the amount mentioned above, but then we inmediately pass whatever is agreed to with the taxing agencies through to each agency. Mr. Usher stated that the maximnn bonded indebtedness at any one time is $22,500,000 and the actual cost of the project is estimated to be $14,500,000. [men the $14,500,000 is calculated out with debt service and all, plus administrative costs, it adds up to the $61,970,000. He noted that other financial assistance can be utilized by the agency if it is available. Mr. Usher explained that the project area covers the entire City south of Avenue 50 with a small area north of Avenue 50 lying west of Eisenhower. It also includes area outside the City east of Jefferson which is owned by Landmark Land Company. The land uses shoran are those on our present County approved General Plan. If any of those land uses are changed when we adopt our own general plan, it does not affect this project. Mr. Usher advised the Planning Commission that there is one correction that needs to be made on the land use map provided them. That correction is the area shown in "black dots" at the intersection of Avenue 52 and Avenida Bermudas which should actually include the Desert Club property. He stated that before the plan is adopted, this map will be corrected. Mr. Usher continued to explain that Exhibit C of the report is the description of the basic flood control works that will be done. The west side of the cove will be a dike and channel system intercepting water from Bear Creek and taking it dawn to the Oleander Reservoir. The east draining system will intercept and channel all waters east of Bear Creek down the east side of Avenida Bermudas to the Fritz Burns property and will take it to what we call the Cove Reservoir, which will be located at the northerly end of the Fritz Burns property. Mr. Usher concluded his report by again advising the Planning Cmrnissicn that this Redevelopment Plan is to provide protection against any catastrophic flooding of the City. The City will still experience surface street flooding from rainfall until such time as a curb and gutter project is carried out. This may be 5 or 10 years in the future. Adoption of the resolution recarmending adoption of the Redevelopment Plan for the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency is respectfully recommended. After a short discussion, Chairman Klimkiewicz called for a motion. MINUTES - PLANNING cammISSION October 11, 1983 Page Six. 1. Commissioner Thornburgh made a motion to adopt Resolution No. P.C. 83-5 Reanmending Adoption of the Redevelopment Plan for the La Quinta Redevelopment Project. Commissioner Imkamp seconded the motion. Unanimously adopted. C. Chairman Klimkiewicz introduced the last item of business as a review of a communication from Robert Iamb Hart Planners and Architects, Ltd. with regard to the Washington Street Specific Plan. He called upon staff for their report. 1. Sandra Bonner, Principal Planner, explained that Robert Lamb dart Planners and Architects, Ltd., in response to an article concerning the redesign and landscape of Washington Street, sent us a copy of work they had done in Scottsdale, Arizona. This firm suggested that the landscape along Washington Street should be a lush, flowering, desert landscape and that its appearance during the winter resort season should be a primary consideration. They noted that their experience with a totally dry native desert landscape is not as desirable for both practical and aesthetic reasons, because while water needs are minimized, weed control can be a major problem and the unavailability and slow establishment of plant material rule out the possibility of an immediate landscape effect. Ms. Bonner noted that this was presented as food for thought with regard to our Washington Street Specific Plan. Principal Planner Bonner went on to another topic with regard to Landmark Land Company's Duna La Quinta Project. She noted that the Planning Commission need not give any comments at this meeting, but the Duna La Quinta Tract that came before the Commission a few months ago had a condition of approval that the Planning Commission would look at the landscaping and wall plan. She noted that it is very irmportant that the City gets what they want.. Kevin manning, Planner for Landmark Land Company, stated that he would like to get a response or direction from the Commission as they would like to get going on this because they have already had problems with people entering the property where the houses are being built. The security guard on duty has reported such activity during the evening hours. Therefore, Landmark would like to start building the wall as soon as possible. Ms. Bonner advised the Commissioners that there are sections of this plan that the City will require to be redone. The plan is being presented to the Ccmmnission for their review only. The primary issue is the location and design of the wall. After a short discussion, the Commission agreed to review their copies of the plan and meet to review it on October 18, 1983, at 4:00 p.m. MDXJTES - PLANNING CO!NMSSION October 11, 1983 Page Seven. 0 .1[uu10Ah There being no further items of agenda to cam before the Planning Commission, Chairman Klimkieaicz called for a motion to adjourn.

MEMORANDUM s. A. � s CITY OF LA QUINTA w OF 1'F1B��S To: The Honorable Chairman and M t)ers of the Planning Commission From: Sandra L. Bonner, Principal Planner Date: November 8, 1983 Subject: PLOT PLAN NO. 83-033, A Request to Construct a Single -Family House Along the West Side of Avenida Villa North of Calle Hidalgo; Harry Winn, Applicant. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The Applicant is requesting approval to construct a single-family house on a lot located along the west side of Avenida Villa, 110 feet north of Calle Hidalgo (see attached map). The Applicant has stated that this house will be his residence. Siting The siting of the house is consistent with both the development in the area and the zoning requirenents. The house will have a 20-foot front setback, 5-foot sideyard setbacks and a 10-foot rear yard setback. Floor Plan The house will have 1,717 square feet of liveable area, two bedroom with dimensions exceeding 10 feet, 1-3/4 baths, and an attached double -car garage with a connecting door into the house. As proposed, the floor plan is consistent with the City's adopted standards. An attractive element of the design is the courtyard around which all the main roans are oriented. Exterior Design Concerning the exterior appearance of the house, the maximum overall height of the building is 16 feet, which is below the 17-foot height limit imposed of the zoning. The house will have stucco exterior walls and a pitched roof covered with clay tile. As shoran on the elevations (Exhibit C), the roof will have a canbination of 3 and 12, and 4 and 12 roof pitches. This varied roof design will effectively break apart the straight lines of the building, thereby avoiding a "boxy" appearance. This type of roof design is also compatible with the slant roof design of the adjacent old spanish style hone located to the north and also the other remaining houses with conventional peaked roofs. The roof has no eaves. It is staff's opinion that the design of the roof is attractive and that the addition of eaves would detract from appearance. Therefore, staff recamends that the Ccnmission make the finding that the roof as proposed is consistent with the intent of the City's adopted policies concerning the design of single-family houses. STAFF REPORT - PLANNING COMMISSION November 8, 1983 Page Two. Additional ConmPnts At the time of the writing of this report, the City Fire Marshall had not reviewed the plans with respect to fire flow. This information will be presented to the Commission and Applicant at the hearing. A detailed landscaping plan for the front yard will be required prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. This plan will show the required three (3) outdoor water spigots and two, 15-gallon trees. Staff has determined that this project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and has filed a Notice of Exemption. Findings 1. The request is consistent with the zoning requirements. 2. The proposed design is compatible with the surrounding development. 3. The roof design, as proposed, is consistent with the intent of the City's adopted policies concerning single-family houses.

Bonner, Principal Planner Date: November 8, 1983 Subject: PLAT PLAN No. 83-034, A Request to Construct a Single -Family House at the Northeast Corner of Avenida Martinez and Calle Monterey; R. F. Updyke, Applicant. • M tl•,� It It I• The Applicant is requesting approval to construct a single-family house on one lot located at the northeast corner of Avenida Martinez and Calle Monterey. The Applicant intends to retain ownership of the house and manage it as a rental unit. The Applicant has no other units under construction within the City at this time. siting The siting or location of the house on the lot is consistent with both the area development and the zoning requirements. The house will have a 20-foot front setback, 6 and 12-foot sideyard setbacks and an 11-foot rear yard setback. Design of Structure The floor plan is consistent with the City's adopted standards for single-family houses. The home has 1,515 square feet of liveable area, three bedrooms with minimum ten -foot clear dimensions, 1-3/4 bathrooms and an attached, double -car garage with a connecting door into the house. Concerning the exterior of the house, the overall height of the building is 13 feet, which is below the 17-foot height limit imposed by the zoning. The house will have white stucco walls and a 3 and 12 pitched roof covered with white composition shingles. The width of the roof eaves varies fraa 24 inches to 30 inches, with the roof extending out over the entryway area. The proposed design is compatible with the surrounding development which consists of a wide variety of architectural styles including two story, California ranch style and J. L. Johnson houses. Siding materials include both wood and stucco. The majority of the houses have peaked roofs covered with gravel, with several of the hares having white gravel roofs. Additional Co eats As shown on the site plan (Exhibit A), the air-conditioning unit is located within both the rear and sideyard setback areas. The municipal zoning ordinance requires STAFF REPORT - PIANNING COMIISSION Noverber 8, 1983 Page Two. that these setback areas remain clear of structures and mechanical equipment. A setback adjustment may be granted penratting an encroachment when the following findings are made: (1) The adjustment is consistent with the intent and purposes of this ordinance; (2) There are special circumstances applicable to the property, including such factors as size, shape, topography, location or surroundings that justify the approval of the adjustment of the setback requirerent; and (3) The adjustment will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the community or be detrimental to property in the vicinity of the parcel for which the adjustment is requested. Staff recamends that the Planning Commission approve a setback adjustment as part of this approval to permit the air-conditioning unit to extend a maximum of two feet into the rear yard setback. This would require the unit to be relocated next to the rear wall of the structure. The basis for this recommendation is that due to the small lot size, the increased setback areas due to it being a corner lot and the large house size, the adjustment is needed if the Applicant is to comply with the City's requirement for ground mounting all air-conditioning equipment. In addition, after reviewing the floor plan, this location of the equipeent seers the most logical. As a means for ensuring that the neighboring property owner is not bothered by the noise from the equipment, staff recommends that the equipment be enclosed within a block or masonary wall which extends above the height of the equipment. A more detailed landscaping plan will be required prior to the issuance of a building permit. This plan will indicate the three (3) outdoor spigots and four (4), 15-gallon street trees which are required by the City. Staff has determined that this project is exempt from the requirements of CEQA and a Notice of Exenption has been filed. Findings 1. The request is consistent with the zoning. 2. The design will be in compliance with the City is adopted standards. 3. The proposed house is compatible with the surrounding development. 4. The setback adjustment is consistent with the intent of the ordinance and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare. r a e i� a err� Based upon the findings, the Planning Commission recam ends approval of Plot Plan No. 83-034 in accordance with Exhibits A, B and C and subject to the attached conditions. SLB:dmv THIS APPROVAL IS SUBJECP TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1. The development of the site shall be in conformance with the Exhibits A, B and C contained in the file for Plot Plan No. 83-034, unless otherwise amended by the following conditions. 2. The approved plot plan shall be used within two years of the approval date; otherwise, it shall became null and void and of no effect whatsoever. By "use" is meant the beginning of substantial construction, not including grading, contemplated by this approval which is begun with the two-year period and is thereafter diligently pursued to completion. 3. Water and sewage disposal facilities shall be installed in accordance with the requirements of the Riverside County Health Department. 4. Fire protection shall be provided in accordance with the standards of the Uniform Fire Code as adopted by the City of La Quinta. 5. Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of occupancy, the Applicant shall install landscaping in accordance with an approved, detailed landscape plan for the front yard and street sideyard showing the species, size, location and spacing of all planting materials, including a minimum of four (4) 15-gallon, street trees. The plan shall indicate the irrigation system and the location of the required three (3) outdoor water spigots. All trees and plants shall be maintained in viable condition for the life of the approved use. 6. The Applicant will be required to post a cash bond, performance bond or other financial arrangement acceptable to the City Attorney and City Engineer with the City Community Development Department for the installation of the required street improvements along Avenida Martinez and Calle Monterey, including curb, gutter and connecting pavement.
