meeting of August 14, 1984. Commissioner Walling seconded.
Unanimously adopted.
Also present were Comrm pity Development Director Lawrence L. Stevens,
Principal Planner Sandra L. Bonner and Secretary Donna M. Velotta.
3. HEARINGS
A. Chairman Thornburgh introduced the first hearing as Public Use Permit
Case No. 84-001, a request by the Family Heritage Church of the Valley
to construct church facilities at the northwest comer of Miles Avenue
and Adams Street alignment; Family Heritage Church of the Valley,
Applicant. He called for the staff report.
1. Principal Planner Bonner explained that this was a request to
construct a church with a school and related facilities on an
8.7-acre site. Construction to occur in two phases with the
first beirg an assembly hall with a seating capacity of 770
people. Within an estimated 5 years, the sanctuary building
and classrooms will be constructed, with the original building
reverting back for use as a gymnasium.
Regarding comments from the City Engineer, Fire Marshal and
other agencies affected, the main topic of concern is the
traffic generation. Staff has requested that the driveway
onto Miles Avenue be deleted due to a serious sight distance
problem created by a rise in the grade of Miles Avenue east
of the entry. She noted that the general layout and design
is consistent with City standards. Based on the findings in
the staff report, Staff is recommending approval of Public
Use Permit Case No. 84-001, subject to the attached conditions.
chairman Thornburgh then called upon the Applicant for their presentation.
Allan Levin, Engineering Services Corporation, 74-303 Highway 111,
Palm Desert, CA, Civil Engineer for the project, spoke in behalf
of the Applicant. He requested clarification of Condition No. 10.b.
He stated that the Applicant would like separate bonds be allowed
for the portion of Adams Street to be constructed with Phase I of
the project and separate bonds for the remainder of Adams Street to
be constructed at a later date.
Community Development Director Stevens responded by advising that
the condition would allow that to occur.

Mr. Levin went on to address Condition No. 28. He stated that the
Applicant world like to amend the last sentence to read, "Applicant
agrees to pay set fees in effect at the time of issuance of building
permits."
In response, Crnmmity Development Director Stevens advised that Staff
reo=na ds the language not be changed as the condition was written and
approved by the City Attorney and we feel that it is clear.
Ron Finch, Pastor - 47-921 Sundance, Indio, CA, spoke in behalf of the
project requesting that the mitigation fee for the fringe -Toed lizard
be waived as this project is a religious institution and a non-profit
organization.
Camimity Development Director Stevens again responded by stating that
the City's position is that the habitat preservation plan for the fringe -
toed lizard has not yet been adopted or accepted by any of the cities
affected by it. The cities have informally agreed to, in conjunction
with discretionary approvals, put the generalized condition here indicating
that the project would be subject to whatever mitigation fees develop.
Tentatively, it appears that the fee will be 5600+ an acre. Mr. Stevens
stated that at the study session he advised it would be our intention that
if the ultimate adoption of the plan exmpts for such facilities or
establishes an effective date where this project would not be affected,
then this condition would not apply to this project. The City has not
yet decided how it will accept fees under this program and it could out
for some sort of deposit or similar approach pending the actual adoption
of the preservation program by affected cities and that would allow the
Applicant, through a Certificate of Deposit or similar method, to generate
the interest on that money. In conclusion, Mr. Stevens stated that Staff
understands the Applicant's concern, but given the nature and situation
relative to the habitant plan, it makes it difficult to give a mere
concrete answer than this.
Wendell Veith, 67-660 Bonito Road, Cathedral City, CA, Architect for the
Applicant, addressed the Planning Commission stating that he was present
to answer any questions that they might have regarding this project.
There was a short discussion regarding the deletion of the driveway onto
Miles Avenue.
There being no further persons wishing to speak on this matter, Chairman
Thornburgh closed the public hearing.
There was a discussion regarding the construction of buildings in phase
to. The Planning Comission stated they would like to approve those
plans before the construction.
Relative to this, Camwnity Development Director Stevens stated Condition
No. 7 would be revised to read:
117. This approval authorizes the construction of a sanctuary
building and classroom buildings. The buildings's design,
location, size and height shall be subject to the approval
of the Planning Conmission."
Chairman Thornburgh called for a motion.
2. cmm ssianer xlinkiewicz made a motion to approve Public Use Permit
Case No. 84-001, subject to the findings and conditions, as amended,
in the staff report. Commissioner Nalling seconded the motion.
Unanimously adopted with one absentee.
At this tyre, Chairman Thornburgh turned the meeting over to Commissioner
Klimkiewicz for the following two public hearings, as the City Attorney
felt there may be a conflict of interest. (Vice chairman Salas was absent.)

Acting Chairman Klimkiewicz advised all present that the next two hearings
were regarding the same planned residential development project and therefore
would be hear] oonc urently as follows:
B. Change of Zone Case No. 84-012, a request by Utopian Design and
Development to change the existing zoning franc R-1*, R-3*-4000,
and NA to R-2-20,000/PD to allow for a planned residential develop-
ment in accordance with a proposed tentative tract.
C. Tentative Tract Map No. 20328, a request for approval of a Planned
Residential Development consisting of 672 statutory ccrdrminiums,
51 single-family dwelling lots, an 18-hole golf course and a tennis
club on 360 acres located at Avenue 52 and Avenida Bermudas, J. Burton
Gold, Utopian Design and Development, Applicant.
He called for the staff report.
1. Principal Planner Bonner advised all present that the Applicant is
proposing a Planned Residential Development consisting of 672 statutory
condaniniums, 51 single-family duelling lots, an 18-hole golf course and
a tennis club on 360 acres of a 674-acre site. With the exception of 5
proposed single-family house lots, all dwellings will be located on the
flat portions of the site and will not extend onto the hillsides. Dirt
removed franc the flood channel and water retention basins, during con -
construction of cc m ity flood control iprovcments, will be placed
in the easterly portion of the site and will be used to create terracing
for the single-family house lots. Approximately 76% of the 360-acre
development will be developed in open space and recreational uses.
Under the current General Plan, the area to be developed can have a
nexim density of 5 units per acre, with a small area adjacent to the
Desert Club allowing up to 10 units per acre. The proposed project will
have an overall density of approximately 2 units per developable acre.
The project is consistent with the standards of the .m,nicipal zoning and
lard division ordinances. The location and appearance of the proposed
duelling units are carpatible with the arcs. The project will not have
a significant adverse inpact on the errvirormterrt provided that appropriate
mitigation measures are incorporated into the Project approval.
Principal planner Bonner want on to address the request by the Applicant
for a change of zone from R-3*-4000, R-1` and N-A* to R-2-20,000 and N-A*
for the 360 developable acres of the 674-acre site which is intended to
facilitate proposed Tentative Tract Map No. 20328. The requested R-2
zoning would allow a maxirmmi of 8 dwellings per building which does not
seen out of character with either the area or typical golf and tennis
club develogment. The requested zoning does not propose to retain the
existing designation for the 1200 square foot mint= dwelling size,
although all of the proposed dwelling units exceed this floor area
criteria. Because of this, it seams advisable to incorporate this in
the approved zoning to assure that the standard will apply to other
projects if this one does not proceed, and to assure canpatibility with
other residential zoning in the area. 'There are two factors that need
to be questioned with respect to the requested zoniM:
1, should the area shown for individual single-family lots be zoned
other than R-2-20,000? These lots are approximately 10,000 square
feet in area. With the proposed zoning, the area could be redesigned
for the duplex -type units which are existing for the rest of the
project, although this would require an arvanded tract crap. Further
more, the lot sizes are less than the 20,000 square feet specified.
2. should the zoning line along the mountains be adjusted franc that
proposed? While it is desirable to maintain "squared -off" and
regular lines, it appears that the mountainous area included in
the R-2 zoning should be reduced.

In general, the basic zoning requested see2s satisfactory, although,
several minor adjustments are suggested in the Staff Pecrnrtesndation.
Cme ty Development Director lawrence L. Stevens reviewed the
conditions of approval that were of cmcrrn as follows:
Condition No. 5 - Refer to Exhibit "D" in approved exhibits.
Condition No. 6 - Modify to require Planning Co mission approval
of various buildings.
condition No. 9 - Modify to establish building height limits with
the project and delete m; n;m,m roof Overhang
requinanent.
Make minor codifications in requirements of Fire Marshal.
Add a Condition No. 19 providing more specific inforniation about
acceptance and construction of stornwater facilities to accept local
drainage.
Clarify that the $100,000 contribution for a fire station may be used
as a credit.
Condition No. 25 - Modify to require approval by the Planning
Camnissio n and codify sidewalk requirements along
Avenue 52.
Require tree retention plan by the Planning Ca ssion.
Add a condition to require approval of lighting plan by the Planning
Carnmission.
Based upon the findings in the staff reports, Staff remmrsds approval
of the Change of Zone Case No. 84-012 as revised, in accordance with the
attached Exhibit entitled "Staff Recamerded Zoning" and approval of the
Tentative Tract Map No. 20328, subject to the attached conditions, as
amended.
Commissioner Goetcheus requested information fran Staff regarding the
width of Bermudas and the traffic situation there.
Mr. Stevens responded by stating that Avenida Benmidas is designated as
an 88' wide collector. The Applicant is voluntarily donating 50' instead
of the m;n m, 44'. This is to accamodate the ultimate configuration
of 2 lanes in each direction as well as the ability to get turning lanes
in to create a safer situation for turning movements. This extra width
helps because it is not likely that we will get the full right -of -my
width on the opposite side of the street where we have houses front ng
along the street, and if we take the additional 14' or so of right-of-way
that becares necessary to get the full 88' width, essentially that would
be the front yards of most of the hares. Therefore, the 6' that the
Applicant is providing significantly increases the opportunity to get a
full and adequate width of road and provide for necessary turning move-
ments.
There was further discussion regard; g the bicycle/pedestrian path along
Avenue 52 and the drainage system to be installed along Ber"Idis. 'There
was also some discussion of the donation of acreage by the Applicant for
park facilities.
Acting Chairman Klimkiewicz then requested the Applicant's presentation.
J. B. Gold, Utopian Design and Development, 9454 Wilshire Boulevard,
Suite M-1, Beverly Rills, CA, designer of the project, spoke in behalf
of the Applicant. He advised the Commission that all of his questions
had been answered during the previous discussions. One thing he asked
was clarification of Condition No. 18 regarding the installation of the
dry storndrain system along Avenida Ber.midas.

Mr. Stevens responded to Mr. Cold's corns to his satisfaction.
Acting Chaianan Kli kiewicz then opened the hearing for public ooment.
Chris G ozdziarAi of La Quinta had concerns regarding the additional
traffic on Washington Street. He stated the noise from the traffic
is considerable at the present time and he felt it would get much
worse with this project.
Acting Chairran Klimkiewicz informed Mr. (3ozdziowski that the traffic
on Washington would increase and that the street will be widened to
acconodate that traffic. He noted that the traffic would increase on
Washington aver the next few years irregardless of this project.
William lorenz, 4595 California Avenue, Long Beach, CA, stated he owns
a piece of property off La Fonda about a half block away from Washington.
His concern was whether the snall streets in that area would be improved
also as a result of this project.
Principal Planner Bonner responded that there world be improvements to
Washington Street between the south side of Mr. Lorenz's subdivision
where Ia Fonda is located dawn to 52nd. This is approximately a 600'
portion of Washington Street. Therefore, the improve ants would not
affect the streets in question.
As there were no further cements, Acting Chain Klimkiewicz closed the
public hearing.
Ccandssioner Walling stated he would like to ameurl Condition No. 6 to
include, as well as the association maintenance building and the golf
naintenance building, perimeter walls on both streets and tree retention
plan be subject to Planning Commission approval.
Acting Chairman Klimkiewicz stated he would also like to see the land-
scaping plans care back to the Planning Commission for the south side
of Avenue 52 where the eucalyptus trees will be retained.
Further discussions were had addressing lighting on Washington Street,
the status of the Washington Street Specific Plan, Washington Street
bridge inprovements and mitigating benefits such as donations of land
to the City for a school or park, etc.
Acting Chairman Klimkiewicz then called for a motion.
2. Crnmissioner Walling made a motion to approve Change of Zone Case
No. 84-012 based upon the findings in the staff report as revised
in accordance with the attached exhibit entitled "Staff Rewmended
Zoning"; and a motion to approve Tentative Tract Map No. 20328 based

1. Principal Planner Bonner advised the Comassion that this case
was first considered at the June 12, 1984 meeting. At that time,
the Planning Coanission directed the Applicant to work with staff
and redesign the louse to address their's and staff's concerns,
which were as follows:
a. The width and bulk of the house was not consistent with
existing development;
b. The front elevation with only a garage enphasized the
narrowness of the building and was not consistent with
the street elevations of other houses on the street; and
c. The house had no identifiable front door visible fran the
street.
The Applicant has submtted revised house plans which address
these concerns. The size of the house has been increased, it now
has an identifiable front entrance visible fran the street, the
garage has been turned so that the entry is on the side of the louse,
and the width is still 22 feet, however, the bend in the house creates
the appearance of greater width and bulk. The design of the floor
plan complies with the City's adopted standards, the proposed roofing
and siding materials will be conpatible with the existing houses in
the area, and the building's setbacks fran the lot lines are consistent
with the requirements of the nmunicipal zoning ordinance.
Therefore, staff is reoa ending approval of Plot Plan No. 84-059,
based upon the findings in the staff report and in accordance with
Exhibits A, B and C and subject to the attached conditions.
After a short discussion Period, Chairman Thornburgh called for
a motion.

No. 64-067, a request to construct a single-family dwelling on the west
side of Avenida Vallejo, 150-feet south of Calle Ahrango; Desert Affordable
Housing, Applicant. He called for the staff report.
1. Principal Planner Bonner advised the cc m sion that with the
exception of the 16-inch overhangs, the floor plan and elevations
caiply with the city's adopted standards for single-family houses.
The approval will be conditioned to require mininnnn 18-inch eaves.
The request is consistent with the requirements of the R-1 Zone,
the building design is crnpatible with area development and the
project will not have a significant adverse inipact on the environment.
Therefore, staff is recamending approval of Plot Plan No. 84-067.
After a short discussion, C hairnian Thornburgh called for a motion.
2. Commissioner Goetcheus made a motion based upon the findings in the

STAFF COMMENTS AMID ANALYSIS
The floor plan, height and siting of the house catplies with the R-1*++ Zoning
requirements and the City's adopted minim= standards for single-family houses.
Regarding the house's compatibility with surrounding development, the overall
design and roof style are consistent. The surrounding houses all have stucco
exterior walls as is proposed by the Applicant. However, no roofs in the inTnediate
vicinity have asphalt shingle covering; all the homes have either tile or rock.
Staff recce mends that the roof covering be changed to rock, or gravel, or tile.
Regarding the siting of the house, these is a mixture of houses located on one,
one -and -a -half, two and three lots, with no type predaninant. The house located
across the street from the site is on a single lot. Therefore, the Applicant's
proposal to construct the house on a single lot should be compatible with the
area development.
i�w
1. The request is consistent with the requirements of the R-1 Zone and the goals
and objectives of the La Quinta General Plan.
2. The building design is capatible with area development.
3. The project will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment.

STAFF CCNMENTS AND ANALYSIS
The floor plan, height and siting of the house complies with the R-1*++ Zoning
requirements and the City's adopted minimum standards for single-family houses.
Regarding the house's compatibility with surrounding development, the overall design
and roof style are consistent. The surrounding houses all have stucco exterior walls
as is proposed by the Applicant. However, no roofs in the immediate vicinity have
asphalt shingle covering; all the homes have either tile or rock. Staff recommends
that the roof covering be changed to rock, gravel or tile.
Regarding the siting of the house, there is a mixture of houses located on one,
one -and -a -half, two and three lots, with no type predoninate. The house located
across the street from the site is on a single lot. Therefore, the Applicant's
proposal to construct the house on a single lot should be compatible with the area
development.
FINDINGS
1. The request is consistent with the requirements of the R-1 Zone and the goals
and objectives of the La Quinta General Plan.
2. The building design is compatible with area development.
3. The project will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment.

To: The Honorable Chairman and Menbers of the Planning Commission
From: Community Development Department
Date: September 11, 1984
Subject: PLOT PLAN No. 83-035 (Revised)
Location: East Side of Avenida obregon, 200' South of Calle Potrero
Applicant: Everett Aplet
Request: Approval to construct a Single -Family House Intended for Applicant's
Residence
1. General Plan: Low Density Residential (3-5 Dwellings/Acre).
2. Zoning: R-1*++ (one Fan -Lily Dwellings, 17' Height Limit, 1200 Square Foot
Minimum Dwelling Size) .
3. Existing Conditions: The 50' x 100' lot is located within the subdivided Cove
area on Avenida obregon, south of Calle Potrero. Approximately 20% of this
block is developed. Almost all of the surrounding houses have stucco siding
and all the structures have peaked roofs with rock, gravel or tile surfaces.
one house on this block has a combination of wood and stucco siding, and three
houses on adjacent streets have wood panel siding. The vast majority of the
houses are built on one lot.
4. Environmental Assessment: The project is categorically exempt from the require-
ments of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and a Notice of Exemption
will be filed with the County Recorder.
5. The Applicant is proposing a major revision to the design of the previously
approved single-family house. The gross, livable area of the house has been
reduced from 1451 to 1296 square feet. The floor plan still has three bedrooms,
each with dimensions exceeding ten feet, two,baths and a double -car garage with
a connecting door into the house. Due to the smaller house size, the front
setback has been increased from 20' to 26', with the side yard and rear yard
setbacks remaining the same at 5' and 16' respectively. The septic system is
shown in the rear yard rather than in the front yard as previously proposed.
Concerning the exterior appearance, the general design is the same. However,
the siding has been changed from all stucco to stucco only on the front wall
and wood paneling on the sides and rear of the house. The Applicant has not
specified the exact type of wood siding proposed. The roof has a 4 and 12 pitch
covered with dark brown, textured asphalt shingles.

STAFF C MUS AND ANALYSIS
The floor plan, height and siting of the house complies with the R-1*++ Zoning
requirements and the City's adopted minimum standards for single-family houses.
Regarding the house's compatibility with surrounding development, the general
overall design and roof style are consistent. Staff has a concern regarding the
proposed wood siding on a portion of the house; while wood may be corpatible with
the construction of surrounding houses, certain types of wood paneling (e.g., T 1-11)
may look far less attractive than solid wood board siding. In addition, wood siding
is severely affected by the area's dry heat and high temperatures, resulting in
increased home maintenance costs over the years and, if not properly maintained, the
decline of the appearance of the house. Staff recamrnds that the siding be changed
to stucco.
Regarding the roof covering, no roofs in the immediate vicinity have asphalt shingle
covering; all the hones have either tile or rock.. Staff recommends that the roof
covering be changed to rock, or gravel, or tile. If the roof covering is changed to
rock or gravel, the pitch of the roof would be lowered to 3 and 12 pitch or less.
Regarding the siting of the house on a single lot, this is consistent with the vast
majority of the houses along this street and adjacent to the site.
FINDINGS
1. The request is consistent with the requirements of the R-1 Zone and the goals
and objectives of the La Quinta General Plan.
2. Mien constructed in accordance with the conditions of approval, the building
design and materials will be compatible with surrounding development.
3. The project: will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: The Honorable Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
From: Community Development Department
Date: September 11, 1984
Subject: ABANDON,= - JEFFERSON ST= AMID AIRPORT BOULEVARD
Location: 1. Jefferson Street Between Avenues 54 and 58
2. Airport Boulevard Between Jefferson and Madison Streets
Applicant: Landmark Land Company
Request: To Abandon Certain Portions of Jefferson Street and Airport Boulevard
1. General Plan
The Circulation Element of the General Plan was amended in conjunction with
General Plan Amendment Case No. 84-002 (PGA West) to delete from the plan
those segments of Jefferson Street and Airport Boulevard proposed for abandon-
ment. Roads an the area are currently designated as follows:
Jefferson Street - 110' Arterial
Avenue 54 - 100' Major
Airport Boulevard - 100' Major
Avenue 58 - 100' Major
Madison Street - 88' Secondary (proposed for change
by County to 110' Arterial)
Area land uses are generally designated for low density residential or
agricultural use.
2. Zoning
The PGA West subject property has been zoned (for the area west of Jefferson
Street) and prezoned (for the area east of Jefferson Street) in conjunction
with Change of Zone Case No. 84-007 to R-2, R-3, R-5 and C-P-S in order to
accommodate Specific Plan No. 83-002. The surrounding unincorporated area is
generally zoned for agricultural use.
3. Existing Conditions
Jefferson Street, Madison Street, Airport Boulevard, Avenue 54 and Avenue 58
currently exist in the subject area as two-lane, paved roads although Madison
Street does not exist between Avenues 52 and 54.

There are various existing telephone and electrical overhead lines and
irrigation pipelines through the subject property and along the public
rights -of -way including those proposed for abandonment.
4. Environmental Assessment
An Environmental Impact Report has been previously prepared for the PGA West
project and said EIR ccnsidered the potential impacts of the proposed road
abandonments. The EIR, which was certified, identified various mitigation
measures pertinent to area access and circulation and the proposed road
abandonments. These measures are proposed for consideration as conditions
in conjunction with this request.
5. Project Description
The Applicant is proposing to abandon Jefferson Street between Avenues 54 and
58 and Airport Boulevard between Jefferson and Madison Streets to facilitate
the development of the PGA West project. A phasing plan for right-of-way
improvements has been submitted with this request and is attached. The plan
provides for four phases of public road improvements as follows:
° Phase 1 (Late 1984-Early 1985)
- 3/4 improvement to all of Avenue 54 frontage and to
Madison between Airport Boulevard and Avenue 54.
- 28-foot improvement to Madison Street between Airport
Boulevard and Avenue 58 and to Avenue 58 between
Jefferson and Madison Streets.
° Phase 2 (Early 1985)
- Remove Jefferson Street and Airport Boulevard
improvements.
- Relocate affected utilities.
° Phase 3 (When Avenue 58 frontage is developed)
- 3/4 improvement to Avenue 58 frontage.
° Phase 4 (Mien Airport Boulevard frontage and Madison Street
frontage south of Airport Boulevard is developed.)
- 3/4 improvement to Airport Boulevard frontage.
- Full improvement to Madison frontage south of Airport
Boulevard.
- 3/4 improvement to Jefferson Street between Avenues
52 and 54.
6. Comments Received from other Agencies
a. City Engineer
Traffic channelization plans and traffic signal plans for all major
intersections should be implemented with financial responsibilities
established for all necessary improvements. This should be approved
along with this phasing plan.

STAFF CUM TPS AND ANALYSIS
This proceeding is to consider the formal request of Landmark Land Company to
abandon portions of Jefferson Street and Airport Boulevard and is necessary even
though this issue has been the topic of considerable discussion in conjunction with
prior applications (i.e., Environmental Impact Report, General Plan Amendment,
Specific Plan) related to the PGA West project.
In order to favorably consider this request, several essential determinations should
be made, including:
• Consistency of proposed abandonment with the General Plan;
° Consistency of proposed abandonment with an adopted Specific Plan;
° Evidence of public benefit of proposed abandonment;
° Demonstration that proposed abandonment is not needed for prospective use, and,
• Compliance with provisions of California Environmental Quality Act.
General Plan Consistency:
It should be evident that the abandonment of the specified segments of Jefferson
Street and Airport Boulevard are consistent with the City's Circulation Element
since the Applicant requested and had approved a General Plan Amendment to that
end. Since these roads are no longer identified in the Circulation Element, it
can be concluded that these roads are no longer needed for adequate area -wide
circulation and that their abandonment is anticipated by the General Plan.
Specific Plan Consistency:
The project design proposed by the Applicant and previously approved by the City as
part of the Specific Plan calls for the abandonment of these roads. However, the
Specific Plan also identifies certain improvement alternatives to replace the loss
and certain other measures to mitigate related public inconveniences. Conditions
of approval attached to the Specific Plan which relate to the requested abandonment
include:
- Condition No. 18 (Road improvements along property frontages);
- Condition No. 19 (Off -site improvement to Madison between Avenues
52 and 54 - may be waived per Condition No. 25);
- Condition No. 20 (Off -site improvement to portions of Madison and
Avenue 58);
I

STAFF REPORT - PL A IING ccwIISSICN
September 11, 1984
Page 4.
- Condition No. 21 (Time schedule for Jefferson Street closure);
- Condition No. 22 (Assumption of costs for road closure);
- Condition No. 25 (Landscaped medians); and,
- Condition No. 40 (Contribution to Lake Cahuilla improvements).
In order to assure consistency with these requirements which relate to circulation
changes associated with the proposed road closures, certain conditions are recmTended
prior to the abandonment and subsequent physical closure of these roads. The time
schedule proposes the physical closure of Jefferson Street and Airport Boulevard in
early 1985. According to the phasing plan, the alternate route, which principally
serves Lake Cahuilla since the mountains preclude further southerly extension of
Jefferson, of Avenue 54 to Madison Street to Avenue 58 will be improved to equivalent
or better standards than existing roads.
In general, the proposed phasing plan for public right-of-way improvements seems
acceptable except that the improvements to Jefferson between Avenues 52 and 54 may
be appropriate earlier than Phase 4. The timing of these improvements should relate
to traffic created by development of the site as determined by the monitoring program
envisioned by Condition No. 23. This should be tied to the construction of a certain
number of houses within the project, the availability of the golf courses for tourna-
ment or similar high volume play, or the reaching of certain traffic volumes on the
street. This threshold can be established with future tentative tracts or other
development approvals.
Public Benefit:
Abandonment of these public streets will yield substantive public benefit in that
the resulting development project will be the major support for the redevelopment
agency's tax increment financing program for area -wide flood control - particularly
benefiting the developed Cove area. This flood control program could be extremely
difficult to finance through any other means. Moreover, adequate provision is being
made for alternative routes to serve areas south of the PGA West project with only
minor increases in travel distance. Effort has been made to offset this inconvenience
by various perimeter road improvements, including off -site improvements, and by a
contribution to facility improvement at the major use south of the project - Lake
Cahuilla.
Other public benefits would include increased employment opportunities for area
residents and increased revenue opportunities for the City meaning possible increased
service levels for the general public.
Future Use:
The need for either Jefferson Street or Airport Boulevard as public streets in the
future seems negligible at best. The location of steep, mountainous terrain, which
is virtually undevelopable, south of the project leaves only one potential traffic
generator beyond Avenue 54. Adequate provision has been made to provide alternate
access to this traffic generator which, because of its regional nature with many
out -of -area users, will not substantially alter existing travel patterns.

Environmental Review:
The developnent project including the proposed road abandonments has been the subject
of a previous EIR. Associated impacts were evaluated and appropriate mitigating
measures are being incorporated into this approval.
FINDINGS
1. Approval of the abandonment of Jefferson Street between Avenue 54 and Avenue 58,
and of Airport Boulevard between Jefferson Street and Madison Street is consistent
with the Circulation Element of the La Quinta General Plan and with its related
goals and policies.
2. The requested road abandonments are consistent with adopted Specific Plan No.
83-002 provided that recc miended conditions are complied with.
3. Substantial benefits will accrue to the general public in the form of area -wide
flood control financing support, employment opportunities and passible increased
public services when development associated with these road -abandonments occurs.
4. The identified segments of Jefferson Street and Airport Boulevard are not
necessary for prospective use because area terrain precludes future major
traffic generators and adequate alternate means of access are available to
existing uses.
5. An Envircnme_*atal Img3act Report has been certified for the associated development
project and identified mitigation measures are being incorporated into this
approval.
STAFF RE00MMENDAZION
Based upon the above Findings, the Community Development Department reccmmiends
approval of the requested road abandonments, subject to the following conditions:
1. To fund inprovenents to Lake Cahuilla County Regional Park, Landmark Land
Company shall contribute $50,000 to the City.
2. Landmark Land Company shall pay all costs to relocate existing and erect new
directional signs for Lake Cahuilla County Regional Park. The revised
directional signing program shall be approved by the City of La Quinta
Community Safety Coordinator and the County Road Department.
3. All Phase 1 improvements, as shown on the "R/W Improvement Phasing" plan
on file with the Community Development Department, are to be completed and
accepted by the City of La Quintal including:
a. Three -fourths (3/4) improvements to an ultimate 100' wide major
highway on Avenue 54 for the entire property frontage.
b. Three -fourths (3/4) improvements to an ultimate 100' wide major
highway on Madison Street between Avenue 54 and Airport Boulevard.
