COUNCIL/RDA MEETING DATE: July 15, 2008
ITEM TITLE: Approval of an Amendment to the
Disposition and Development Agreement Between the La
Quinta Redevelopment Agency and LDD SilverRock, LLC
Extending the Deadlines in the Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION: `
CONSENT CALENDAR: iJ
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
Authorize the Executive Director to execute an amendment to the Disposition and
Development Agreement between the Agency and LDD SilverRock, LLC extending
deadlines in the Agreement for 90 days.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None. LDD SilverRock, LLC is required to reimburse the Agency for the cost it incurs
in considering modifications to the Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA").
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
LDD SilverRock, LLC, is the designated developer of certain sections of the SilverRock
Resort ("Developer"). The Agency approved the DDA with the Developer in December
2006. Since January 2007, the Developer has been moving forward to design and
market the first development component, a boutique condominium hotel. In November
2007, the Executive Director granted a six-month extension for the submittal of
grading plans and design/construction drawings for the boutique hotel. This extension
was granted due to changing market conditions. The Developer has submitted a new
request to extend the submittal of these items for one year (Attachment 1). Staff is
recommending a 90-day extension at this time to allow sufficient time to consider
economic conditions, project timing and financial conditions.
The DDA provides that the Developer must submit final grading plans, and
design/construction drawings for the boutique hotel by July 17, 2008. Further, it
must submit evidence of financing by August 6, 2008. The Developer indicates that
because the Coachella Valley market for condominium hotels has collapsed, it will not
be submitting completed grading plans and design/construction drawings for plan
J15
check. Since market conditions have changed, the Developer is re-evaluating the
existing plans, market conditions and opportunities for alternative hotel types.
Staff recommends that the Board grant a 90-day extension so that staff may work
with the Developer to craft a clear strategy. If a comprehensive strategy is crafted,
then staff could recommend an additional nine -month extension for a total of one year.
During the 90-day period, staff would meet with Developer on a bi-weekly basis to
formulate a mutually acceptable strategy to move forward with the boutique hotel
development, and identify all of the required DDA modifications.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
Alternatives available to the Agency Board include:
1. Authorize the Executive Director to execute an amendment to the Disposition and
Development Agreement between the Agency and LDD SilverRock, LLC extending
deadlines in the Agreement for 90 days; or
2. Authorize the Executive Director to issue a notice of default if the Developer misses
the performance deadlines under the Disposition and Development Agreement
between the Agency and LDD SilverRock, LLC; or
3. Provide staff with alternative direction.

Re SilverRock Resort - DDA Extension
Dear Mr. Genovese:
When we requested a six month extension to the scheduled closing date for the Boutique Hotel site last
Septemher, we acknowledged the threat of a serious nationwide recession and agreed to carefully monitor the
overall economy and credit markets over the ensuing months. As the high season in the desert comes to a
close, and we are able to look back upon economic events of the past nine months, it is clear that
unprecedented change has occurred in our financial markets, real estate markets, and more recently
commodities markets, which have had significant impact on the U.S. economy. As a result, lender requirements
continue to increase, while general real estate and condo -hotel markets continue to deteriorate at a rapid pace
In short, things have become worse, not better.
Given where the economy is, and the necessary steps required to adjust our current plans, we respectfully
request a twelve month extension to the DDA Schedule of Performance dates outlined in the DDA. At this
important time, it is imperative that we acknowledge the current market conditions, and carefully study all
available development options before us The goal of the additional time is to allow us to identify and design a
product that both can be built as soon as feasible and will meet the desires of the City. We will explore options
rm different product types, conduct additional market research, and implement the necessary design charges
that we determine are needed to start the project.
I look forward to discussing this request with you further. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please do
not hesitate to call me.
Sincerely,
President

RECOMMENDATION:
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION:
CONSENT CALENDAR:
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
Approve an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Altevers
Associates to provide additional sub -consultant services in an amount not -to -
exceed $39,215 and authorize the Executive Director to execute the amendment.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The Permanent Clubhouse is included in the Fiscal Year 2008-2009 Capital
Improvement Program, and includes $1,404,000 for "Engineering." The cost for
Amendment No. 2 (Attachment 1) totals $39,215, and will be charged to the
"engineering" category of the Permanent Clubhouse.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
On April 17, 2007, the RDA Board approved a contract with Altevers Associates to
design the permanent clubhouse at SilverRock Resort. On June 2, 2008, the RDA
Board approved Amendment No. 1 to the Altevers Associates agreement in the
amount of $76,637, for additional LEED coordination and design services.
The Altevers Associates agreement (Exhibit 'E' "Outline of Responsibilities")
identities a list of sub -consultants to be contracted directly with Altevers
Associates. This list also identifies several design consultants which were to be
018
selected by, and contracted with the RDA directly, including audio/visual design;
security system design; low voltage/cable/TV/intercom design; and a waterproofing
consultant. Therefore, these services were not included in the original Altevers
Associates agreement; however these services have been anticipated and are
included in the clubhouse budget.
In order to ensure design efficiency and accuracy, the RDA requested a proposal
from Altevers Associates to provide these sub -consultant services. A minimum of
three (3) proposals were solicited by Altevers Associates for each of the required
design specialty services. Following are the firms being recommended by Altevers
Associates:
❑ R2W — audio/visual; security; low voltage consultant (refer to
Exhibit'B') in the amount of $9,100
❑ Van Dijk & Associates, Inc. — waterproof consultant (refer to
Exhibit 'C') in the amount of $25,000
Per the agreement, Altevers Associates is entitled to a 15% sub -consultant
management fee, which totals $5,115.
A summary of the additional fees and services are set forth in Amendment No. 2,
Exhibit 'A'. Sub -consultant services and fees are detailed in Exhibit 'B', R2W Scope
of Services, and Exhibit 'C' Van Dijk & Associates, Inc., Scope of Services.

Altevers Associates to provide additional sub -consultant services in an
amount not -to -exceed $39,215 and authorize the Executive Director to

COUNCIL/RDA MEETING DATE: July 15, 2008
ITEM TITLE: Adoption of a Resolution Accepting the
Amended and Restated Preliminary Plan and Directing
Preparation of the Amendment to the Redevelopment
Plan
RECOMMENDATION:
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION:
CONSENT CALENDAR:
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
Adopt a Resolution of the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency accepting and
approving the Preliminary Plan for the Fifth Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan
for the La Quinta Redevelopment Project Area No. 2, designating the Added Area,
authorizing transmittal to affected taxing agencies and the State Board of
Equalization, and directing preparation of the Fifth Amendment.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The Fifth Amendment will cost $40,000 to complete. This funding is included in
the 2008-2009 Agency budget.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The La Quinta Redevelopment Agency is proposing to amend La Quinta
Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 ("Project Area No. 2") to add an existing 73 unit
apartment complex and a 5.8 acre vacant parcel ("Fifth Amendment"). Combined,
these contiguous properties are 12.42 acres in size and are located east of
Washington Street and south of Hidden River Road; they were annexed into the city
in December 2007. The Agency has purchased the vacant parcel, and is in the
process of purchasing the apartment complex (escrow is slated to close in
September 2008). The Agency will then rehabilitate the existing apartment
complex and is planning to construct up to 84 new apartment homes on the vacant
parcel. The existing apartment complex is occupied by very -low and low-income
senior and handicapped households. The new apartment homes would be slated
for the same types of households.
The California Redevelopment Law ("CRL") mandates that the La Quinta
Redevelopment Agency secure 1,994 affordable dwellings. These dwellings must
feature covenants to ensure that they remain affordable to very -low, low- or
moderate -income households for 45 to 55 years (45 years for single family
028
dwellings and 55 years for multi -family dwellings). To date, the Agency has
secured, or is in the process of securing, 1,589 units. The subject properties
would contribute to this effort.
Per the CRL, a redevelopment agency must produce two affordable units for every
one unit it receives credit for, if the properties are located outside of the
redevelopment agency's redevelopment project area; the redevelopment agency
receives a one for one credit if the dwellings are located in a project area. In order
to receive one for one unit credit for the subject property's existing and proposed
affordable units, the Agency is proposing to amend the Redevelopment Plan, adding
the properties to Project Area No. 2.
The Project Area was established in 1989 and has been amended four times.
Section 33320.2 of CRL states that an unblighted, noncontiguous area may be
included in a project area if it is being used predominantly for the construction and
rehabilitation of low- or moderate -income housing, as long as that area is not
included for the purpose of obtaining tax increment and the redevelopment agency
will not use the power of eminent domain in that area. This area will meet these
provisions.
On July 1, 2008, the City Council adopted a Resolution designating a
redevelopment survey area. Following the adoption of a survey area, the CRL
provides that the Planning Commission, in cooperation with the Agency, shall
formulate a Preliminary Plan for the redevelopment of the proposed amended
project area. The Preliminary Plan is a brief document that: (1) establishes the
purpose of the Fifth Amendment; and (2) serves as the basic framework for
preparation and processing of Fifth Amendment. Most importantly it designates the
boundaries of the Added Area and commences the public process for adding this
territory to the redevelopment project area. Section 33325 requires that the
Planning Commission submit the Preliminary Plan to the Redevelopment Agency.
The Planning Commission adopted the Preliminary Plan on July 8, 2008, and
transmitted said Plan to the Agency for its acceptance and approval. The Planning
Commission selected the boundaries of the proposed Added Area to be comprised
of the survey area designated by the City Council.
The Agency will be involved at two other junctures of the amendment process: (1)
reviewing the draft plan amendment text, Report to the City Council, Mitigated
Negative Declaration, and consenting to a joint public hearing on the Fifth
Amendment; and (2) conducting a joint public hearing with the City Council on the
Fifth Amendment.

FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the Agency are as follows:

PRELIMINARY PLAN
La Quinta Redevelopment Agency
INTRODUCTION
This is the Preliminary Plan ("Preliminary Plan") for the Fifth Amendment to the La
Quinta Redevelopment Agency's ("Agency") Redevelopment Project Area No. 2
("Project Area No. 2"). The Agency is initiating redevelopment plan amendment
proceedings to add approximately 12.42 acres of property ("Added Area") to Project
Area No.2. This would be the fifth amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for Project
Area No. 2 ("Redevelopment Plan"). The purpose is to preserve and expand the
community's supply of affordable housing by substantially rehabilitating an existing 73
unit apartment complex, and developing new affordable multifamily units. The proposed
Redevelopment Plan amendment ("Fifth Amendment") is being prepared in conformance
with California Community Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety Code Section 33000
et. seq. ("CRL").
The Added Area lies approximately half a mile north of Project Area No. 2 (shown in
Exhibit A and described in Exhibit B), and is generally bound by Hidden River Road to
the north, Washington Street to the west, and the Mediterra Apartments along Darby
Road to the south. The eastern border varies between Byron Place and Lima Hall Road.
Project Area No. 2
The La Quinta Redevelopment Agency was establised in 1983. The Agency adopted its
first redevelopment project in November 1983. Project Area No. 2 was established in
May 1989 by Ordinance No. 139 to primarily address infrastructure deficinencies that
limited private sector investment in commercial and residential development. The
Redevelopment Plan was subsequently amended on December 20, 1994 by Ordinance
No. 259 to conform to new legal requirements. It was amended again on February 3,
2004 by Ordinance No. 399 to increase the limit on the amount of tax increment revenue
the Agency may receive, and again on March 16, 2004 by Ordinance Nos. 403 and 404
to extend the duration of the Redevelopment Plan by one year.
Preliminary Plan
This Preliminary Plan designates the boundaries of the proposed Added Area and
provides a general description of the Added Area. It has been prepared for the Planning
Commission of the City of La Quinta ("Planning Commission") who, pursuant to CRL,
must review and approve the Preliminary Plan. It will then be transmitted to the Agency
Board for final action. If the Board approves this Preliminary Plan, the redevelopment
plan amendment process will formally begin.
In accordance with CRL Section 33324, this Preliminary Plan must:
O RSG
• Describe the boundaries of the proposed Added Area;
• Contain a general statement of land uses and layout of principal streets, population
densities, building intensities and standards proposed as the basis for the redevelopment
of the Added Area;
■ Demonstrate how the purposes of the CRL would be attained by redevelopment of the
Added Area;
■ Demonstrate how the Fifth Amendment is consistent with the community's General Plan;
and
• Describe, generally, the impact of the Fifth Amendment on residents of the Added Area,
the existing Project Area and the surrounding neighborhoods.

PRELIMINARY PLAN
La Quinta Redevelopment Agency
PROJECT AREA NO. 2 AND ADDED AREA LOCATION & DESCRIPTION
Project Area No. 2
Project Area No. 2 encompasses 3,116 acres and is located in the northern portion of
the City of La Quinta. It is generally bound by Fred Waring Drive on the north, Jefferson
Street on the east and Avenue 50 to the south. The western border varies between
Washington Street and just beyond Eisenhower Drive. Project Area No. 2 is developed
with a mix of residential, commercial, institutional and recreational uses.
Added Area
The Added Area consists of noncontiguous properties located in the City of La Quinta,
approximately half a mile north of the Project Area No. 2. (shown in Exhibit A). The
Added Area is 12.42 acres in size and currently subdivided into 3 parcels. The land use
is designated for High Density Residential, as governed by the City's General Plan. Two
of the three parcels are developed with a 73 unit apartment complex; the dwellings are
affordable to very low and low income seniors and disabled residents; the remainder of
the properties are vacant land. The Agency intends to rehabilitate the apartment
complex, and develop a new complex up to 16 dwelling units per acre. The new
dwellings will be affordable to very low and low income 55 years and older households.
Section 33320.2 (a) of the CRL provides that when adding territory to a redevelopment
project area, the area may be either contiguous or noncontiguous. All noncontiguous areas
shall be either blighted or necessary for effective redevelopment. An unblighted,
noncontiguous area shall be conclusively deemed necessary for effective redevelopment if
that area is being used predominantly for the construction and rehabilitation of low- or
moderate -income housing, as long as that area is not included for the purpose of obtaining
tax increment and the redevelopment agency will not use the power of eminent domain in
that area. The Added Area meets these provisions. The Agency is pursuing the Fifth
Amendment in order to preserve and enhance existing affordable housing, and to develop
new affordable housing. Further, the Agency will be selling these units to a non-profit
operator who will pay limited or no property taxes. Thus, the Agency is not pursuing this Fifth
Amendment for the purpose of obtaining tax increment revenue. Finally, the Agency's
eminent domain authority expired in 2001. It cannot use this authority in the Added Area
because it does not have eminent domain authority.
GENERAL STATEMENT OF PROPOSED PLANNING ELEMENTS
The Fifth Amendment will not alter the planning elements contained in the
Redevelopment Plan. These planning elements are the applicable provisions of the
City's General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and other state and local guidelines, as they
may be amended from time to time.
Land Uses
The permitted land uses will be those authorized by the City's General Plan and Zoning
Ordinance, as amended from time to time, and all applicable state and local codes and
guidelines.

La Quinta Redevelopment Agency
Proposed Layout of the Principal Streets of the Added Area
Exhibit A presents the principal streets within the Added Area. The principal streets
include Washington Street and Hidden River Road. The layout of principal streets and
shall conform to the General Plan as currently adopted or hereafter amended.
Proposed Population Densities
The population densities will conform to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, as
currently adopted or as hereafter amended, and all other applicable codes and
ordinances. Population densities will increase when the vacant parcels are developed
up to 16 dwelling units per acre pursuant to its designated land use.
Proposed Building Densities
Building densities will be in accordance with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, as
they now exist or are hereafter amended.
Proposed Building Standards
Building standards shall conform to the building requirements of applicable State
statues, and local codes and ordinances.
ATTAINMENT OF THE PURPOSES OF THE LAW
The Fifth Amendment will attain the purposes of the CRL by preserving and rehabilitating
existing affordable housing, and constructing new affordable housing. The Agency
intends to rehabilitate the existing 73 unit multi -family apartment complex and record 55
year affordability covenants. These covenants will insure that these dwellings will remain
affordable to very low and low income households for 55 years. This complex is 30 years
old and is needs substantial rehabilitation. The Agency also intends to facilitate the
development of up to 64 new affordable dwellings that will remain affordable to very low
and low income 55 year and older households for 55 years. In the process, the Agency
will also improve on- and off -site drainage, and improve both the local and regional street
systems.
CONFORMANCE TO THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN
This Preliminary Plan is consistent with the City's General Plan because land uses,
layout of the principal streets, and other development standards incorporate existing
General Plan policies. The Amended Plan will not institute land use or other planning
policies not otherwise permitted by the General Plan.
GENERAL IMPACT OF PROPOSED PROJECT UPON RESIDENTS OF THE
PROJECT AREA & SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS
The Agency does not envision that the proposed Project (rehabilitating the existing 73
unit apartment complex and developing the new affordable dwellings) will impact either
the Project Area or the surrounding neighborhoods. The Project will:

The Agency does not envision that these improvements will have an impact on the
residents of Project Area No. 2 nor the surrounding neighborhoods. It will not impact
Project Area No. 2 residents because it is not adjacent to the project area. The traffic
circuation and drainage improvements will enhance the surrounding neighborhood. The
Added Area residents will be impacted because they must be tempoarilly relocated while
their dwellings are rehabilitated. The Agency will be preparing a relocation strategy to
assist these residents during this process. Once these units are rehabilitated, the
residents will then enjoy new rehabilitated dwellings.

The Landscape Architect has prepared a preliminary estimate of costs for the
entries and roads landscape installations, as proposed in the programming exhibits
and has determined that the current RDA budget is adequate at this time.
041
The RDA budget is broken down into various components including infrastructure,
roads and entries, clubhouse, and golf course. In reviewing the proposed road and
entry plans, the design overlaps the golf course design and budget. The overall
budget for the road and entries, and second golf course will be fully evaluated
during the schematic and design development phases.
Costs associated with the design and construction of the proposed "interpretative
nodes" are not currently included in the budget, and additional funding may be
required if these "interpretive nodes" are to be incorporated into the plans and
construction documents.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
Phase I SilverRock Resort improvements, completed in 2005, included the Arnold
Palmer Classic Course, Temporary Clubhouse, Avenue 52 entry feature, perimeter
landscaping, and related infrastructure improvements.
The Phase II SilverRock Resort improvements include the installation of the
"backbone" infrastructure, including on -site streets, three (3) bridges spanning the
Coachella Canal (box culvert, golf cart, and pedestrian), water, sewer and dry
utilities; Permanent Clubhouse; second Municipal Golf Course; project entry
feature(s), and on -site landscaping.
The La Quinta Redevelopment Agency (RDA) entered into a Professional Service
Agreement (PSA) with HSA Design Group to provide landscape architectural
services for the SilverRock Resort, Phase II Development, including design, and to
prepare plans, specifications, schedules and cost estimates for various Phase II
SilverRock Resort improvements.
The Phase II improvements will be phased so that the extensions of SilverRock
Way will be extended to the clubhouse and Coachella Canal. Landscape and
entries south of the canal will be constructed in conjunction with the
Jacobsen/Hardy Golf Course.
Planning Commission Review
The Planning Commission reviewed the programming and design recommendations
at its July 8, 2008 meeting. The Planning Commission's key comments included:
commended use of drought -tolerant landscaping; encouraged low water usage;
appreciated the lack of turf at Jefferson entry; encouraged further use of native
plantings, praised the color schemes and pavers; encouraged use of low-level,
energy -efficient lighting; ensure there are "view windows" into golf course;
suggested signage identifying golf course; complimented the trail system and
04;�)
interpretive nodes; suggested looking at green and sustainable opportunities and
products.
Landscape and Entry Design
The landscape architect is responsible for maintaining the "RDA's Vision" for all
aspects of Phase II design and for making recommendations in regard to the
aesthetic character and quality of the various design elements, plant palette,
building materials, site furnishing, design features, water features, signage,
common landscape areas and areas of interface with the private hotel/resort
developments. Additionally, the landscape architect is coordinating with the resort
development team to ensure that both the public and private facilities are
consistent in design and materials quality.
The programming and design program's primary focus is on the major project entry
at Jefferson Street and Hotel Drive; the streetscapes associated with the primary
roadways, SilverRock Way and Hotel Drive; and areas where streets and common
areas interface with the private hotel developments as well as the proposed second
golf course.
The design program includes reviewing the existing landscape installations
completed as part of the Phase I development to determine how these design
concepts might be incorporated throughout the Phase II development areas.
Likewise, the design team is prepared to discuss how many of the new Phase II
design concepts might be 'retrofitted' into existing Phase I landscape areas to
create an overall unified theme throughout the entire SilverRock Resort.
The following is an outline and brief description of the various Phase II development
areas being presented for the RDA's review consideration:
SilverRock Thematic Concept
The overall landscape at SilverRock will embrace the vision the City of La
Quinta established soon after their purchase of "the last great piece of land
in the Coachella Valley." It was envisioned to create a world -class resort
destination that offers something for everyone — golf, outdoor activities,
shopping, dining, and entertainment.
The project theme will respect many historical, cultural and natural
influences that the site provides, and most importantly, it will be "authentic"
to La Quinta. The rustic nature of the site inspires the use of natural
materials such as rock, stone, and wood along with desert plantings that
provide seasonal color, texture, and interest.
043
The landscape theme will also embrace the architectural styles already
established for the SilverRock Clubhouse, with its Traditional Hacienda
character, and the La Solana boutique hotel with its Contemporary Mexican
character. Selected materials from both will be incorporated into the
landscape theme and repeated throughout the project creating a sense of
place with rich and aesthetic beauty.
SilverRock is dominated by the spectacular mountain that imposes its
presence on the entire site. The landscape throughout the project
emphasizes this presence through aggressive forms, sharp rock formations
and a diverse mix of plant material.
Jefferson Entry
The diverse desert landscape and strong land forms along the perimeters
offer visual interest which announces the project and promotes occasional
glimpses into the oasis of the development.
The entry is carved through a large land form, and accentuated with built
forms using the natural and refined elements complimenting the themes
embodied at the future Clubhouse and future Hotels. The entry is flanked by
tall stone columns and supported with stucco and stacked stone walls. The
columns form an entry portal which frame the views to the majestic Santa
Rosa mountain range to the west, and creates a dramatic feeling of
enclosure before opening the views to the manicured golf course below. The
roadway is surrounded on both sides by dramatic landforms and native fan
palms which provide canopy and definition for the roadway and the multi use
trail.
Potted bougainvilleas surround the pedestrian portal, which is cut through a
tall, earthtone-color stucco wall. Other rustic elements such as wood and
wrought iron are introduced to help enhance the old-world rustic character.
Hotel Drive and SilverRock Way
The landscape along Hotel Drive reflects the colorful desert theme, using fan
palms and desert canopy trees to accentuate and frame views to the golf
course and the future hotel and commercial sites.
The road crests over the bridge which connects both sides of the golf
course, offering spectacular views to areas within the project. Short stone
walls meander intermittently along the roadway, connecting the entry to the
hotel site at the intersection of SilverRock Way. The intersection is
decorated with enhanced paving to match the paving at the entry and the
U44
bridge crossing, and the landscape is dominated by large canopy trees and
impressive fan palms.
SilverRock Way will carry the same landscape theme as Hotel Drive. From
the roadway, landforms, canopy trees and other plant material will frame
opportunistic views to the golf courses and the mountains. The experience
for walkers, bicyclists and cart patrons will be more dramatic, as the journey
through the landscape will offer more opportunity to experience the desert
flora and fauna up close and at a slower pace.
Circulation and Interpretive Nodes
A major component of the SilverRock Resort is the incorporation of the multi-
use trail system and the incorporation of interpretive nodes throughout the
site. The nodes, incorporated along the multi -use trail system encourage
interaction with the environment and offer educational, interpretive and
interactive experiences, creating a wonderful opportunity for guests to learn
about the community and its desert environs.
The site offers incredible opportunity to learn about the history and natural
wonders of the valley. Each node will address a different subject, providing
interesting information in visual and physical formats.
During preliminary design, discussions about the following interpretive
opportunities have been developed. As noted above, the location, design,
and number of interpretive nodes will be determined during the schematic
and design development phase of the streetscape and second golf course.
History of Golf in the Valley
View opportunity of the finishing hole of the Jacobsen Hardy golf
course. A plaque could briefly describe the history of golf in La Quinta
and the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. The overlook would provide
potential spectator viewing areas incorporated into the golf course
design.
Coachella Canal
Viewing node on the west side of the bridge crossing of the Coachella
Canal with an educational plaque identifying the history and
importance of the canal in the agricultural and urban development of
the Coachella Valley. A secondary plaque could identify the entire
Colorado River Basin and how the canal water arrives at SilverRock.
045
Agriculture and Farming
A node could focus on the importance of farming and agriculture in
the Coachella and Imperial Valleys. A list of fruits and vegetables
grown in region, and the impact of the industry on California and
beyond could be included.
Santa Rosa National Monument
A small node providing views of Santa Rosa National Monument, with
a plaque describing the geology of the mountain ranges around the
valley. The verbiage could include information on San Jacinto and San
Gorgonio mountains describing the elevation changes and climatic
variations that exist.
Ancient Lake Cahuilla
Node located with a viewing area of the water line marks on the
mountainside identifying the lake level of the ancient lake. A time line
and fossil imprints could be incorporated into the walkway to add
interest.
Bear Creek Oasis Indigenous People - Cahuilla Indians
A Node in a fan palm grove could identify and describe the history of
the Cahuilla Indians, where they lived, and their influence on the valley
today. Interesting features would be included, such as a mortar stone,
and plants that were used in day to day life - palms, cactus, aloe,
creosote bush.
Indigenous and Introduced Desert Plant Material
Description of climate and how it affects plants in the desert. The
Garden area can be planted with a variety of plants with identifying
signage. Signage identifying plants and other features will be
incorporated throughout internal portions of trail system.
La Quinta Art Festival
A more interactive node would highlight the Arts Festival. This node
could be located in the area at the southeast corner of the Hotel Drive/
SilverRock Way intersection. It could be designed with an outdoor
turf area that would be used for exhibits or small events at specific
times throughout the year.
046
Celestial - Star Gazin
Provide a location with opportunity for celestial viewing and
explanation of the Valley's 'Dark Sky' philosophy. This node could be
part of the Hotel developed walkway system, where patrons could
enjoy an evening stroll close to their rooms.
History of the Site and the City of La Quinta
This node would describe the history of the Ahmanson Ranch and
how it came to be SilverRock Resort. The history of the City of La
Quinta and its role in the Valley, the official bird, tree and flower
would be also be highlighted at the node.
Native and Endangered Animals
Plaques identifying animals native to the desert such as coyotes,
rabbits, lizards and spiders would be incorporated. A description of
how the natural landscape of the golf course and common areas helps
provide habitat for these animals. A summary of endangered species
such as Bighorn Sheep, Desert Tortoise, Southern Yellow Bat, Desert
Salamander, Fringe Toed Lizard that are protected in the region.
Tennis Courts and Children's Play Area
The area for this activity node could be set aside, and developed by
the hotel development(s) as part of the amenities included for hotel
guests. It would provide an opportunity to play tennis and an area for
structured and unstructured play. The site currently being considered
is located immediately north of the existing maintenance facility,
acting as a buffer between the hotel and maintenance facility.
The internal nodes along with the overall landscape will provide another
opportunity to enhance the resort experience for all visitors and residents,
and connect SilverRock to adjacent La Quinta neighborhoods. The trail
system also extends beyond the site to the perimeters along Jefferson
Street, Avenue 52 and Avenue 54. Naturally shaded rest areas with stone
benches are incorporated at intervals along the perimeters to provide respites
for walkers and joggers. The trail system can also be used as an exercise
path. There are two "exercise loops" available — a 3 mile loop and a 1.5
mile loop. Each loop trail commences and ends at the intersection at Hotel
Drive and SilverRock Way via the Jefferson Entry.
047
The precise type and number of nodes will be determined during the final
project design process.
Golf Course Landscape
The manicured turf and playable areas of the golf course will be cut through
a rugged and raw native landscape. Rock outcroppings, deep arroyos, and
aggressive contouring will be accented with colorful and textural plant
materials, selected to provide interest and color throughout the year.
It is important to create visual interest on the journey from green to tee.
Dense canopies and dramatic shaping will be incorporated in these areas to
provide a dramatic experience for the golfer.
Playable waste areas are almost devoid of plant material, accented only with
'vase' shaped grasses and grass -like shrubs that will tend to repel golf balls
rather than 'catch' them. As the landscape transitions away from playable
areas, more shrubs are introduced and the shaping becomes more dramatic.
This design strategy, dramatically frames the golf course while providing a
stark contrast to the subtle, soft movements of the playable turf.
Trees, shrubs and accents will be selected and located to create this diverse
landscape whose color and textures will evolve throughout the season and
throughout the years.
Signage Program
An overall Signage Program will be developed and incorporated throughout the
Phase I and Phase II development areas. Signage will provide a consistent theme
for the major resort identification, and directional signage for both vehicles and
pedestrians alike. The resort signage program will be sensitive to the operations
requirements and marketing needs of the private resort and hotel developments, as
well as the City's clubhouse and golf course facilities. The final design program
will be developed during the schematic and design development phases of the
design process.
Phase I Design Considerations
Many of the design concepts being proposed for the Phase II development areas
may be considered for incorporation into the existing Phase I development areas.
The Landscape Architect has prepared several studies of the existing project entry
at Avenue 52 and SilverRock Way, as well as the existing perimeter streetscapes
and trail system along Avenue 52, Jefferson Street and Avenue 54.
048
Beyond this programming design task, the Landscape Architect's design services
include only these services related to the SilverRock Phase II development areas.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the Agency Board include:
1. Approve the SilverRock Resort programming and design recommendations,
and authorize the Schematic Design phase of work; or
2. Provide staff with direction regarding the SilverRock Resort programming &
design recommendations; or
3. Do not approve the SilverRock Resort programming and design
recommendations; or
4. Provide staff with alternative direction.
