Historic Preservation Commission Minutes

Site Survey stated it was a historic site, but actually had date
palms with an old trailer, dune buggy, and well site with people
living there. The rocks were related to the contemporary site and
not an Indian Encampment.
3. Chairman Mouriquand asked if anyone from CRM TECH was in
attendance to answer questions. Mr. Brudvik replied he had
recommended monitoring and thought Mr. Hogan would not need
to attend.
4. Chairman Mouriquand asked why monitoring was not
recommended in the archaeo report. Although it seemed
appropriate, she would like to hear what the CRM TECH
representative would recommend. She also asked whether the
report had been submitted to the local tribe organizations for their
comments. Staff replied this information was unknown.
5. Commissioner Irwin stated she agreed with requiring monitoring.
Mr. Brudvik stated he had contracted with CRM TECH to do the
monitoring.
6. Chairman Mouriquand stated she was impressed with the report.
She also commented on how the reports were getting better as far
as discussion and research. She stated she just wanted to go on
record she thought the research design discussion was excellent
and wanted to see this kind of information in every report. Mr.
Brudvik commented he would be using this firm on all of his future
projects.
7. Chairman Mouriquand stated she would like to know about the
ceramic analysis and how the significance determination was
made, but since there was no representative in attendance she did
not have a problem with the report as long as the monitoring was
required. Mr. Brudvik indicated that the Public Works Department
stated they would not issue a grading permit until they had a copy
of the monitoring contract.
8. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by
Commissioners Wright/Irwin to adopt Minute Motion 2003-004
accepting the Archaeological Testing and Evaluation Report for
Site CA-RIV-6769 (Tentative Tract 30487) with monitoring as
requested by staff. Unanimously approved.

B. Archaeological Testing and Mitigation Report for Site CA-13IV-6134 (St.
Francis of Assisi Church)
Applicant: St. Francis of Assisi Church
Archaeological Consultant: CRM TECH (Michael Hogan, Principal)
1 . Principal Planner Sian Sawa presented the information contained
in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Community
Development Department.
2. Commissioner Sharp had a question as to where the property was
located in relationship to the Church. Commissioner Wright replied
it was between the: Church and the Arts Foundation property.
3. Commissioner Irwin asked that the staff indicate what will happen
to the collected archaeological and paleontological resources and
all of the reports where monitoring occurs. Staff replied it it had
not been added to staff reports as the report stated the artifacts
were being given to the City.
4. Staff stated they would be included in the recommendations even
if recommended in the body of the report..
5. Chairman Mouriquand asked why the report was done in 2001,
and the Commission was just getting it. Staff replied the project
was on hold until just recently.
6. Commissioner Irwin asked why monitoring of trenching was not
being required. As this report was not current, it did not include
all the recommendations the Commission currently requests on all
reports.
7. Chairman Mouriquand asked if this report was to modify an
existing set of conditions. Staff replied no, it was for a Phase II
testing.
8. Commissioner Irwin made the recommendation to include the
same conditions of approval from the first report the Commission
heard (Tentative Tract 30487), the standard for future reports.
Staff stated the report conclusion indicated the recommendation
for on and off -site earth moving but it could be added in the
recommendations.

9. Chairman Mouriquand stated the report states the older occupation
was a pre -ceramic one. She said that was a significantt statement
to be made since there was no discussion in the report to justify
it. She added it was commonly thought ceramics entered this area
around 900 AD. So, if this was the case, this would be: 200 years
later. She also said the old adage "absence of evidence; is not
evidence of absence" needed to be considered here. Just because
no pot sherds were: found, doesn't mean that ceramics were not
utilized at that time period. She said she did not see where that
was discussed. She was concerned the report jumped to a
conclusion that could not be substantiated. More testing at
additional sites would be needed to confirm this conclusion.
10. Commissioner Irwin commented there have been several sites
dating previous to this one and it would be interesting to look at
those sites and find out what was found because as it is all in the
same geographic area.
1 1 . Chairman Mouriquand said it was time to put the puzzle together
to see what sites there were in the City, for the record, this was
a very significant statement, but the conclusion was premature.
Other than that, it was a good report.
12, There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by
Commissioners Irwin/Puente to adopt Minute Motion 2003-005
accepting the Archaeological Testing and Mitigation Report - Site
CA-RIV-6134 - St. Francis of Assisi Church Property with the
addition of the following conditions:
A. The site shall be monitored during on and off -site trenching
and rough grading by qualified archaeological and
paleontological monitors. Proof of retention of monitors
shall be given to the City prior to issuance of the first earth -
moving or clearing permit.
B. The final report on the monitoring shall be submitted to the
Community Development Department prior to the issuance
of the first building permit for the area covered by this
report.

C. Collected archaeological and paleontological resources shall
be properly packaged for long term curation, in polyethylene
self -seal bags, vials, or film cans as appropriate, all within
acid -free, standard size, comprehensively labeled archive
boxes and delivered to the City prior to the final inspection.
Materials will be accompanied by descriptive catalogue, field
notes and records, primary research data, and the original
graphics.
Unanimously approved.
1 . Planning Manager, Oscar Orci presented the information contained
in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Community
Development Department.
2. Chairman Mouriquand suggested staff research the possibility of
mitigation banking as a form of accruing funds to publish
brochures, plaques, and other items for public education. A legal
nexus could be crafted and a development fee could be charged,
as a mitigation measure. The money would then go into a fund for
historic preservation. Staff replied they would check with the City
Attorney about the possibility of pursuing that procedure.
3. Chairman Mouriquand asked for comments on Item Number One -
Updating of the City's Historic Structure Inventory.
4. Commissioner Shalrp asked if the definition of what is historic was
anything older than 50 years. Staff replied that was the current
definition along with a coding sequence of level of importance.
Staff explained further the survey was to be updated to include
any houses that were 50 years old but eliminating those buildings
which were not relevant.
5. Commissioner Sharp stated the Commission needed some
parameters. Staff replied there was a coding system listing the
properties by relevant importance.

6. Chairman Mouriquand commented the criteria used iin the first
inventory was the Secretary of Interior Standards. Anything
subsequent to that survey would have to follow the same Federal
standards.
7. Commissioner Wright was concerned that properties were missed
in the first inventory. It would be a priority to include any
properties that were missed. He was concerned about how to
prevent any further demolition permits from being issued for
properties without first checking with the Commission regarding
their historic importance. Planning Manager Orci replied guidelines
were needed to identify these properties and to set up a protocol
of review for all City Departments prior to the issuance of
demolition permits, as well as the residents and applicants, so
they would be aware of what is necessary to develop on historic
properties.
8. Commissioner Wright stated he thought it was entirely up to staff.
Staff agreed the City needed to be aware of these sites, but it was
also their responsibility to alert residents and applicants of their
property designations and how that would affect there as far as
development and demolition were concerned. There is currently
no procedure set up to check on, or block, demolition of historical
sites.
9. Chairman Mouriquand stated staff needed to prepare a, composite
map identifying those properties, within the City, classifying them
under some coding system and distribute the reap to all
departments in the City to have it become routine: for every
department to check. Staff concurred.
10. Chairman Mouriquand stated the map ought to be a high priority
since it could be a foundational planning tool. It could be a part of
an inventory request in a grant proposal. There would be the
added advantage of possibly being able to craft a tourism brochure
with appropriate properties listed. Property owners would then be
contacted to see if they would like to have their property listed on
the map.

11. Commissioner Sharp asked if there was any incentive for the
property owners to be on the map. Staff stated they had not
addressed that question. They were trying to make certain the
Commission was in agreement that funding was needed to update
the inventory. Tools would need to be utilized to transmit the
inventory in some graphic format, and to have it available at the
City, to share with applicants. Then we would need, to develop
implementation procedures on how to preserve and allow
development to occur on noteworthy properties.
12. Commissioner Irwin stated it should be done on a one-on-one basis
without a strict overall standard.
13. Chairman Mouriquand stated that basic procedures could be
outlined. Staff concurred the public needed to know they would
have to come to the Historic Preservation Commission first.
Currently there was no such procedure in place.
14. Commissioner Wright agreed and added the first thing was to
educate City departments as to the commission's responsibilities.
This process can begin with a template for future reports. An
excellent example would be the recommendations included in
Business Item #A.
15. Planning Manager Orci suggested there be a template set up of
standard conditions that can be adjusted for the various cases.
However, monitoring could be standardized.
16. Commissioner Irwin wanted to make sure the three
recommendations included in Business Item #A were considered
standard for all assessments. Commissioner Wright added the
reports have to be consistent.
17. Chairman Mouriquand commented not all cases require monitoring
and the Commission should allow staff flexibility to assign
appropriate conditions.
18. Commissioner Irwin stated it was the Commission's prerogative
to expect or reject, add to, modify, and delete conditions, but if
the standard conditions are always included the developers would
know what is expected of them.

19. Chairman Mouriquand asked staff to prepare a standardized list
and customize the conditions as needed similar to the process
used by the Public Works Department. She added these
conditions need to be included in the Environmental Assessment
Mitigation Monitoring Plans and the project conditions of approval
as well. This would ensure the conditions are followed all the way
through the project.
20. Staff asked Commissioner Puente for clarification on her question
about thresholds and standards. Commissioner Puente said she
would like something printed delineating what was considered
historic and what guidelines were to be followed, as well as an
explanation of the coding staff mentioned.
21. Chairman Mouriquand said the Commission follows the State and
Federal Regulations as well as the City's Ordinances. She
suggested the Commission might want to review those regulations
at a future meeting.
22. Commissioner Sharp asked a question about historically significant
properties that didn't fall within the 50 year guidelines.
23. Chairman Mouriquand said there were exceptions to the 50 year
rule. This was where the guidelines applied. There could be a
younger structure of architectural or engineering significance, and
it could be included in the City's inventory. This would afford
them the same protection as any other historically significant
structure.
24. Planning Manager Orci stated what was needed was to identify
the relevant City Code provisions and then the State and Federal
requirements. He gave an example of a home in the Point Happy
Ranch.
25. Commissioner Wright said this was one reason why it was
important to have everything listed, in the inventory, that was 50
years old or older. The Commission would then have the authority
to make decisions on those structures which were not historically
significant. Staff agreed but added it was the procedures which
needed to be clarified once a structure was identified on the
survey.

Historic Preservation Commission Minutes

26. Commissioner Irwin said the Commission should be responsible for
making those decisions. Chairman Mouriquand said staff should
present their recommendations and the Commission could make
their decision from those recommendations.
27. Chairman Mouriquand suggested an in-house training session
involving key members of all departments. Educating everyone on
what was on the survey and procedures to follow if they were
presented with a historic property. Commissioner Puente added
a reference booklet would be very helpful in educating the City
staff.
28. Chairman Mouriquand asked for comments on Item Number Two -
Apply for a CLG Grant to Pay for Inventory Update or Other
Project. She said the Commission needed to look at the Historic
Preservation Ordinance. It might even be possible to apply for and
receive a CLG grant to hire a consultant to review and analyze the
Ordinance as well as update it. She also suggested the
Commission recommend to Council adding an Implementation Plan
that would establish priorities and identify sources. She; suggested
staff begin working on a proposal for funding with monies
beginning in the Federal fiscal year what would be in October.
Staff would then have 12 months to complete their project and
make a final report. The project could begin in the Fall of this year.
Staff agreed to begin working on the proposal which would come
back to the Commission before being finalized.
29. Chairman Mouriquand asked for comments on Item Number Three
- Prepare and Distribute a Brochure that Serves as a Self -Guided
Driving Tour of the City's Historic Features and Discuss the
Prehistory.
30. Commissioner Puente said possibly a booklet could be put together
describing all the regulations and coding on what is considered
historic. This brochure could include the Historic Features and
prehistory.
31. Chairman Mouriquand then went to Item Number Four in the Work
Program - Hosting A CLG-Sanctioned Training Workshop. She
suggested outside participants could be invited. Commissioner
Wright commented they could invite people from ether cities.
Chairman Mouriquand added the City would be perceived as a
leader in teaching other local cities about historic preservation and
what the responsibilities and laws were.
P:\CAROLYN\Hist Pres Com\HPC 4-3-03.wpd V., _ 012 9
Historic Preservation Commission Minutes
April 3, 2003
32. Chairman Mouriquand then went to Item Number Five in the Work
Program - Prepare a Composite Map of all Cultural Resources
Recorded Within the City. She commented there could be a lot of
academic research potential from this project as well as its use as
a planning tool for various City departments. There was also the
potential of obtaining grant money for this project.
33. Chairman Mouriquand then went to Item Number Six in the Work
Program - Completion of Historic Context Statement. She
commented this was an ongoing project that needed to be
completed. She added if it was done by an outside entity, such as
the Historic Society, or the Museum, there would be potential for
the document to be published. It would be primarily a research
tool which should be referenced in staff reports. One of the things
she looked for when she reviewed reports was this reference and
it had been some years since she'd seen any reference to that
document. There are currently two copies of it in the Eastern
Information Center and they were valuable documents for both the
historic and pre -historic periods but they needed to be finished,
then adopted by Council for use in research.
34. Chairman Mouriquand then went to Item Number Seven in the
Work Program - Follow-up on Mitigation Monitoring for Projects
like the Tradition that were Conditioned for Annual Inspections,
etc. The reason the Traditions was named was because there was
a capped site in that project. The conditions of approval for the
project required an annual inspection to check on the integrity of
the cap. The City should be doing this on an annual basis to see
if the cap is still holding together. There are highly significant pre-
historic sites over there and the way we preserve them in situ is
to put a sterile cap on top of them. They are not to have any
structures or anything placed on top of them.
35. Commissioner Irwin said there was also a site at Burning Dunes
at Avenue 48 and Jefferson Street, as well as one at the
Miraflores project that also needed to be inspected.
36. Chairman Mouriquand directed staff to go through the Conditions
of Approval for the last five years to prepare a list of all capped
and re -buried sites requiring annual inspection. She added the
property owners needed to be informed the sites would be under
continuous monitoring. Staff agreed to bring a list back to the
Commission for approval.
P:\CAROLYN\Hist Pres Com\HPC 4-3-03.wpd ..'-1 01 3 -10-
Historic Preservation Commission Minutes

37. After further discussion it was concluded the Commission would
set up an annual inspection protocol and staff would prepare a
map of sites designated as important. The map will be for internal
use only, not for public distribution. The map, and an information
packet, could be given to property owners to advise them of what
they could and could not do on those properties.
38. Chairman Mouriquand then went to Item Number Eight in the Work
Program - Survey for Sites that are in Imminent Danger of Erosion
or other Destructive Threats, especially on City -owned Properties.
Prioritize and Stabilize or Mitigate Sites as Needed.
Commissioners agreed a list of City -owned properties was needed.
Staff was directed to find out whether any of the properties had
been surveyed and if they had historical resources on them. These
properties could be included in an inspection tour once, or twice
a year. The properties, with resources, could be flagged so due
diligence procedures could be followed and the Council would be
informed if special preservation requirements were needed.
39. Chairman Mouriquand then went to Item Number Nine in the Work
Program LM - Plaques and Related Material for Self -guided Tour.
40. Commissioner Irwin asked if this only included the identification of
historic properties. Staff replied that was correct and ask if the
Commission wanted to provide some level of standardization of
what requires a plaque and what doesn't.
41. Commissioner Wright stated it should be open-ended and done on
an individual site basis.
42. Commissioner Sharp said there should be some designation as to
size and style.
43. Commissioner Irwin commented on the statue, at Point Happy.
44. The Commission then decided to have staff prepare a list of
possible sites, include pertinent details, have the Commission
approve it, then recommend approval to the Council.

PHASE I CULTURAL RESOURCES ASSESSMENT FOR
TENTATIVE TRACT 30138
NORTH SIDE OF AVENUE 52, APPROXIMATELY MIDWAY

DAN JEWITT
MC KENNA ET AL (JEANETTE MCKENNA)
The study area is a 15 t acre parcel of vacant land on the north side of Avenue 52,
west of Madison Street. The site is presently used for an outdoor wholesale plant
nursery. The applicant is presently processing a request for a residential project on
the property. The Coachella Canal touches the north side of the site. A Phase I
(survey level) cultural resources assessment has been submitted for approval.
DISCUSSION:
Historical background research was conducted at the Science Library Map Room at
UC Riverside, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Office in Riverside, and the County
of Riverside Assessors Office. The search indicated no evidence of historic human
activities or development on the property other than the development of the Coachella
Canal.
An archaeological records search for the property was conducted at the Eastern
Information Center located at UC Riverside. The records search indicated that the
study area had not been previously surveyed for cultural resources and no
archaeological sites have been recorded within the study area.
The on -foot field survey of the study area resulted in no surface cultural resources
being identified.

p[\stan\hpc rpt ph 1 tt 30138.wpd
CONCLUSION:
Although the records search and field survey results were negative, the report states
the community remains highly sensitive for buried prehistoric remains and, therefore,
concludes that an archaeological monitor should be present during grading operations.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt Minute Motion 2003-_ , accepting "A Phase I Cultural Resources
Investigation of Tentative Tract 30138 Located in the City of La Quinta.
Riverside County, California", as prepared by McKENNA et al, subject to the

A. The site shall be monitored during on and off -site trenching and rough
grading by qualified archaeological monitors. Proof of retention of
monitors shall be given to City prior to issuance of first earth -moving or
clearing permit.
B. The final report on the monitoring shall be submitted to the Community
Development Department prior to final inspection of the first home
constructed in the project.
C. Collected archaelogical resources shall be properly packaged for long
term curation, in polyethylene sel-seal bags, vials, or film cans as
appropriate, all within acid -free, standard size, comprehensively labeled
archive boxes and delivered to the City prior to issuance of first building
permit for the property. Materials will be accompanied by descriptive

PHASE I CULTURAL RESOURCES REPORT FOR 14 ACRE
SITE (SDP 03-762)
NORTHEAST CORNER OF WASHINGTON STREET AND
AVENUE 50
WESTPORT LA QUINTA L.P.
CRM TECH (MICHAEL HOGAN, PRINCIPAL)
The study area is a 14 acre parcel of vacant land on the northeast corner of
Washington Street and Avenue 50. A Phase I (survey level) cultural resources
assessment has been completed for this site for a prior project that was not
approved. The site is now proposed for a senior housing development. The
assessment includes an archaeological and historical resources record search and field
reconnaissance of the property. This assessment will be part of the environmental
review required by the California Environmental Quality Act for the project application.
DISCUSSION:
An archaeological records search for the property was conducted at the Eastern
Information Center located at UC Riverside. The records search indicated that the
study area had not been previously surveyed for cultural resources. Within a one mile
radius of the property 13 area -specific cultural resources studies have been
conducted, including on the properties immediately to the south. As a result of these
studies, a number of prehistoric archaeological sites and no historic -era sites have
been recorded. The closest sites lie just outside the eastern project boundary. An
additional site is across Avenue 50 from the southeastern corner of the project area.
The intensive -level on -foot field survey of the study area resulted in the discovery of
a prehistoric site, subsequently designated Site CA-RIV-6074, on the eastern portion
of the property. The site consist of clusters of pottery sherds, chipped stone
debitage, animal bone remains, a piece of grinding stone, fire -affected rock (from
cooking hearths), and pieces of hardened unshaped clay. The site was divided into
018
p[\stan\westport senior housing\hpc rpt ph 1 sdp 03-762 westport.wpd
six loci or clusters of artifacts. The report states the artifacts are consistent with the
patterns of sites found along the ancient 42 foot shoreline of Lake Cahuilla.
CONCLUSION:
The archaeological resources report notes that subsurface testing of the site is
needed to determine the full nature and extent of the site prior to making a final
determination of site significance for Environmental review purposes.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt Minute Motion 2003-__, accepting the "Cultural Resources Report
Desert Club Manor Project", as prepared by CRM TECH, subject to the report
recommended and following conditions:
A., A Phase II testing report on the prehistoric site on the property shall be
submitted for approval by the Historic Preservation Commission prior to
approval of the project by the City Council.
B. The site shall be monitored during on and off -site trenching and rough
grading by qualified archaeological monitors. Proof of retention of
monitors shall be given to the City prior to issuance of first earth -moving
or clearing permit.
C. The final report on the monitoring shall be submitted to the Community
Development Department prior to final inspection of the project by the
Community Development Department.
D. Collected archaelogical resources shall be properly packaged for long
