LaQuinta City Council Presentation
February 5, 2013
Good Afternoon. I'm Stephanie Duncan, 5404o Avenida Herrera,
LaQuinta. We purchased our home here in 2009 for the purpose
of winter training for rowing on Lake Cahuilla.
I'm here representing a small group of rowers and Boy Scout
Troop #50. Lake Cahuilla has been a venue for the rowers, Boy
Scout Troop 50, with their canoes, and other non -motorized
boats, since the Park's inception. In January 2012 the CVWD
closed Lake Cahuilla to non -motorized boats for fear of a quagga
mussel infestation.
In March 2012 the Lake was reopened after a meeting with
Supervisor Benoit, Steve Robbins, GM at that time, other County
officials and Corky Larson CVWD Board member, and me. At that
meeting, protocols were established and put into effect to prevent
quagga mussel infestation from our rowing shells. Those
protocols went into effect 2 days later and we were back training
on the Lake. However, on April 17th, CVWD closed Lake Cahuilla
again for the same concerns.
The rowers have no other lake in the Coachella Valley to use as a
suitable venue. Lake Cahuilla is perfect for our sport since there
are no power boats, the water is calm, and is in close proximity to
Valley residents.
Our rowing group is fully supportive of keeping Lake Cahuilla free
of quagga mussels and is willing to do whatever is necessary to
protect the lake. We fully understand the Water District's
concerns, since the lake is used to irrigate the Valley's agricultural
areas. The goal should be to manage the quagga mussel issue and
KOM
not to prohibit non -motorized boats. All other lakes in California
are managing the quagga mussel issue; so why not Lake Cahuilla?
Steve Robbins, GM for the CVWD, stated in a February 2012 letter
to me, that the CVWD Board is fully committed to supporting
recreational activities at Lake Cahuilla. Jim Barrett, the Acting
General Manager is also in agreement to providing recreational
activities at Lake Cahuilla.
In August 2012, Mr. Barrett signed a resolution allowing "Limited
Boating Activities" provided the enhanced protocols as developed
by his staff, were followed and implemented. Unfortunately, this
resolution was voted down 2 - 3 by the District's Board at their
scheduled Board meeting on August 14, 2012.
I am here today to ask for your support through letters and/or
phone calls to the CVWD board members to reopen Lake Cahuilla
to our rowing group here in LaQuinta. I believe Supervisor Benoit
is fully supportive of the County managing the boating facility at
Lake Cahuilla.
For your convenience, I am providing you with the names and
email addresses for the CVWD Board members.
Thank you for your time. I am happy to answer any questions.

Management Plan Street Improvements, Project No.
201 2-07 PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve a request for proposal to obtain professional engineering services to
prepare the plans, specifications and engineer's estimate for the Pavement
Management Plan Street Improvements, Project No. 2012-07.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
• As part of the Pavement Management Plan (PMP), staff has identified the
following street segments for further analysis for remediation:
o Calle Tampico between Eisenhower Drive and Washington Street
o Calle Tampico between Washington Street and Park Avenue
o Park Avenue between Calle Tampico and Avenue 50
o Washington Street between Calle Tampico and Avenue 52
o Avenue 52 between Washington Street and Cetrino
o Avenida Bermudas between Avenue 52/Calle Sinaloa and Calle
Nogales
• Staff recommends approval of the attached request for proposal (RFP)
(Attachment 1) in order to hire an engineering consultant to perform the
following tasks:
1. Preparation of an Engineering Pavement Analysis Report, which will
identify street improvement priority as well as recommendations for
the most cost effective pavement rehabilitation approach for each
segment.
,.*.' ` 038
2. Preparation of plans, specifications and estimates for the segments as
identified in the Engineering Pavement Analysis Report consistent with
the City's budget.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None for this action. The PMP is programmed to receive $1,453,651 from the
City's General Fund this Fiscal Year. Once an engineering consultant is identified,
staff will prepare a Professional Services Agreement for design services at an
estimated cost of $40,000. The PMP is included within the 2012/2013 Capital
Improvement Plan.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
A Pavement Management Update Report, dated August 2012, was prepared by the
City's engineering consultant, OMNIS, in order to provide an inventory of City
roadways including current conditions, roadway preservation needs, and a roadway
improvement funding schedule. As part of this report, OMNIS conducted a visual
survey of the City's streets and assigned the street segments a Pavement
Condition Index, which then was used to categorize/prioritize the streets. The
findings of this report show that for the plan years 2012-2016, the suggested
improvements cost exceeds the 2012/2013 Capital Improvement Plan budget.
The City is therefore requesting a more in-depth pavement condition report for the
identified street segments in this RFP with recommendations on the most cost
efficient pavement rehabilitation methods and associated construction costs. In
order to prepare this report, specialized testing equipment and dedicated
engineering staff with expertise in pavement repair will be required to produce the
report in the most cost effective and timely manner. Staff therefore recommends a
qualified engineering consultant be retained for this work. The City will then use
this report to determine which street segments should be designed for this fiscal
year.
The City Manager intends to appoint a Consultant Selection Committee consisting
of the following members: Timothy R. Jonasson, P.E., Public Works Director/City
Engineer, Bryan McKinney, Principal Engineer, and Nick Nickerson, Project
Manager. If the City Council wishes to appoint a different committee, the
committee would be subject to the Brown Act unless the committee consists solely
of two Council Members.
Contingent upon City Council authorization to distribute the RFP, the following

a. Care of Work. Consultant shall adopt reasonable methods during the life
of the Agreement to furnish continuous protection to the work performed by
Consultant, and the equipment, materials, papers and other components thereof to
prevent losses or damages, and shall be responsible for all such damages, to
persons or property, until acceptance of the work by City, except such losses or
damages as may be caused by City's own negligence. The performance of

any incomplete, inaccurate or defective work at no further cost to City, when such
inaccuracies are due to the negligence of Consultant.

Agreement, if any, which are made a part hereof are set forth in Exhibit "D" (the

Section 1.6. The method of compensation set forth in the Schedule of

expenditures for reproduction costs, transportation expense, telephone expense,
and similar costs and expenses when and if specified in the Schedule of
Compensation. Regardless of the method of compensation set forth in the
Schedule of Compensation, Consultant's overall compensation shall not exceed the

Services."
2.2 Compensation for Additional Services. Additional services approved
in advance by the Contract Manager pursuant to Section 1.6 of this Agreement,
"Additional Services," shall be paid for in an amount agreed to in writing by both
City and Consultant in advance of the Additional Services being rendered by
Consultant. Any compensation for Additional Services amounting to five percent
(5%) or less of the Contract Sum may be approved by the Contract Officer. Any
greater amount of compensation for additional services must be approved by the La
Quinta City Council. Under no circumstances shall Consultant receive
compensation for any Additional Services unless prior written approval for the
Additional Services is obtained from the Contract Officer pursuant to Section 1.6 of
this Agreement.
2.3 Method of Billing. Any month in which Consultant wishes to
receive payment, Consultant shall submit to City no later than the tenth (10th)
working day of such month, in the form approved by City's Finance Director, an

extent and within the time herein required, City may, at its sole option:

b. Order Consultant to stop work under this Agreement and/or
withhold any payment(s) which become due to Consultant hereunder until

remedies City may have. The above remedies are not the exclusive remedies for

which Consultant may be held responsible for payments of damages to persons or

edition prior to 1992. Consultant also agrees to require all contractors, and
subcontractors to do likewise.
Last revised 7-3-12 7
.» 053
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this
Agreement shall prohibit Consultant, or Consultant's employees, or agents, from
waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant agrees to waive
subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance
proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and
available or applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of
the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating
to the City or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with
these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has
not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would
serve to eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion
for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or
subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval,
modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises.
Consultant shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of
contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City's
protection without City's prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting
of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an
additional insured endorsement to Consultant's general liability policy, shall be
delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such
proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is
canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right,
but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests
under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid
by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Consultant or deducted from
sums due Consultant, at City option.
8. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all
insurance coverage required to be provided by Consultant or any subcontractor, is
intended to apply first and on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any
other insurance or self insurance available to City.
9. Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other
party involved with the project that is brought onto or involved in the project by
Last revised 7-3-12 8
�.... 054
Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Consultant.
Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all
responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the
requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements
with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for
review.
10. Consultant agrees not to self -insure or to use any self -insured
retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein (with the
exception of professional liability coverage, if required) and further agrees that it
will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or
person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project
contemplated by this agreement to self -insure its obligations to City. If
Consultant's existing coverage includes a deductible or self -insured retention, the
deductible or self -insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the
City shall review options with the Consultant, which may include reduction or
elimination of the deductible or self -insured retention, substitution of other
coverage, or other solutions.
11. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the
contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the
Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such
change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City will
negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.
12. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement
will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking
any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of
this Agreement.
13. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged
failure on the part of City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any
insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor
does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
14. Consultant will renew the required coverage annually as long as
City, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type
pursuant to this agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the agreement
is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not
effective until City executes a written statement to that effect.
15. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required
herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced
with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage
Last revised 7-3-12 9
'-"».i.. 055
has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter
from Consultant's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of
insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications
applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five (5)
days of the expiration of coverages.
16. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not
limit the obligations of Consultant under this agreement. Consultant expressly
agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to
City, its employees, officials and agents.
17. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in
this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other
requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given
policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of
clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any party or
insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.
18. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and
distinct from any other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties
here to be interpreted as such.
19. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and
provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision
conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section.
20. Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract
used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge
City or Consultant for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this
agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not
the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these
requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or
other amounts with respect thereto.
21. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim
or loss against Consultant arising out of the work performed under this agreement.
City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the
duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to
involve City.
6.0 INDEMNIFICATION.
6.1 General Indemnification Provision.
Last revised 7-3-12 10
°.•�... 056
a. Indemnification for Professional Liability. When the law establishes
a professional standard of care for Consultant's Services, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless
City and any and all of its officials, employees and agents ("Indemnified Parties")
from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities of every kind, nature and
description, damages, injury (including, without limitation, injury to or death of an
employee of Consultant or subconsultants), costs and expenses of any kind,
whether actual, alleged or threatened, including, without limitation, incidental and
consequential damages, court costs, attorneys' fees, litigation expenses, and fees
of expert consultants or expert witnesses incurred in connection therewith and
costs of investigation, to the extent same are caused in whole or in part by any
negligent or wrongful act, error or omission of Consultant, its officers, agents,
employees or subconsultants (or any entity or individual that Consultant shall bear
the legal liability thereof) in the performance of professional services under this
agreement. With respect to the design of public improvements, the Consultant
shall not be liable for any injuries or property damage resulting from the reuse of
the design at a location other than that specified in Exhibit A without the written
consent of the Consultant.
b. Indemnification for Other Than Professional Liability. Other than in

Consultant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, and any and all of its
employees, officials and agents from and against any liability (including liability for
claims, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings, administrative proceedings,
regulatory proceedings, losses, expenses or costs of any kind, whether actual,
alleged or threatened, including, without limitation, incidental and consequential
damages, court costs, attorneys' fees, litigation expenses, and fees of expert
consultants or expert witnesses) incurred in connection therewith and costs of
investigation, where the same arise out of, are a consequence of, or are in any way
attributable to, in whole or in part, the performance of this Agreement by
Consultant or by any individual or entity for which Consultant is legally liable,
including but not limited to officers, agents, employees or subconsultants of
Consultant.
6.2 Standard Indemnification Provisions. Consultant agrees to obtain
executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth herein
this section from each and every subconsultant or any other person or entity
involved by, for, with or on behalf of Consultant in the performance of this
agreement. In the event Consultant fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from
others as required herein, Consultant agrees to be fully responsible according to the
terms of this section. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these
requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a
waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set
Last revised 7-3-12 11
forth herein is binding on the successors, assigns or heirs of Consultant and shall
survive the termination of this agreement or this section.

Consultant shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for liability
attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is
determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of
competent jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have been actively
negligent and where City's active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the
liability involved, the obligation of Consultant will be for that entire portion or
percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of City.

officers, officials, employees, representatives, and departments ("Indemnified
Parties") from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities of every kind, nature
and description, damages, injury (including, without limitation, injury to or death of

whether actual, alleged or threatened, including, without limitation, incidental and

indirectly, in whole or in part, the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of
Consultant, any subconsultant, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them or
anyone that they control.
3. Design Professional Defined. As used in this Section 6.2(b),

ITEM TITLE: Joint Use Agreement with Desert
Sands Unified School District for a Community
School Garden
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION: _
CONSENT CALENDAR:
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
Approve a Joint Use Agreement with Desert Sands Unified School District for a
Community School Garden at Benjamin Franklin Elementary School and approve
using up to $2,000 of Quimby funds to pay for the garden containers and irrigation.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City and Desert Sands Unified School District (DSUSD) will initiate a
Community School Garden Program at Benjamin Franklin Elementary School through
a Joint Use Agreement (Attachment 1).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Quimby funding could be used to purchaseplanting containers and install irrigation
connections for watering. The anticipated cost to the City is approximately
$2,000. Burrtec will supply the compost at no charge. The plants will be
maintained by the students, teachers, and community members. The students will
solicit contributions from parents, community members, and local businesses
(especially hardware stores) to provide needed materials such as plants and hand
tools.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
La Quinta resident Linda Gunnett contacted the City with a request for a
Community Garden Program for Cove residents that would involve local youth. The
cities of Palm Desert, Indian Wells, and Indio currently have community garden
programs for their residents.
Staff met Linda Gunnett and Jeff Smith (also a Cove resident) regarding the
creation of a Community Garden. While staff supports this concept we did not
want to pursue a program that would require the City to fund ongoing operating
costs. While researching potential sites, Benjamin Franklin Elementary School
teacher Patrice Healy expressed interest in developing this or a gardening program
at the school. Staff met with Ms. Healy and Kelly May (Principal) to discuss ways
the City and DSUSD could work together to develop a program that was mutually
beneficial.
To develop the community school garden at Benjamin Franklin Elementary School,
the City would invest up to $2,000 to purchase individual garden containers and
necessary irrigation improvements to supply water to the containers. In return,
DSUSD would be responsible for the water costs, plants, and all other materials
including maintenance costs that are not provided by volunteers, as part of the
continuing operation.
The gardens will be open during the school's hours of operation. Any resident
interested in working with the children and gardening during school hours will need
to have a background check per DSUSD policy.
The Joint Use Agreement was approved on January 15, 2013 by DSUSD Board of
Directors.
ALTERNATIVES:
Do not fund the Community School Garden project.
COMMISSIONS/BOARD/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS:
On December 10, 2012, the Community Services Commission recommended a
Community School Garden at Benjamin Franklin Elementary School to the City
Council.
Respectfully submitted,

ITEM TITLE: Right of Way Use and License Agreement CONSENT CALENDAR:
with NewPath Networks, LLC for the Purpose of
Installing, Maintaining, and Operating a Distributed STUDY SESSION:
Antenna System at Multiple Locations Within the City PUBLIC HEARING:
of La Quinta
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the City Manager to execute the Right of Way Use and License
Agreement between NewPath Networks, LLC and the City of La Quinta.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
New Path Networks (aka Crown Castle) is proposing to install three distributed
antenna systems (DAS) in the City. Two of the DAS would be located in the public
right of way and one at Eisenhower Park. All three DAS sites were previously
reviewed by the Planning Commission and granted conditional use permits. The
Right of Way Use and License Agreement (Agreement) is specific to the
installation, maintenance and operation of the DAS within the City's right-of-way
and on City property. The Agreement provides for a one-time payment to the City
of $13,000 for each DAS location for a term of 10 years. The option of two
successive 5-year periods also exists, in which payment of $1,000 per year, per
DAS would be required.
FISCAL IMPACT:
NewPath Networks, LLC will pay a one-time payment of $13,000 for each DAS
location installed on City's right of way and City -owned property for the term of
the Agreement. Additional revenue of up to $6,000 per carrier may be received
should additional carriers be added to the DAS.
076
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
With the increasing demand for wireless data, DAS represent a technology that
allows for improved coverage and increased capacity. The DAS or "nodes" are
part of a larger network of antennas that fill in smaller coverage gaps. DAS
equipment is smaller, requires less energy, and improves telecommunication
coverage over smaller areas than non-DAS or "macro" towers. DAS are connected
to a "HUB" site via fiber-optic cables.
The three DAS locations proposed in La Quinta are at the Avenue 52 and Jefferson
Street roundabout, Avenue 50 and Park Street, and Eisenhower Park. The Avenue
52 and Jefferson location will incorporate the antenna into an existing street light
near the southeast corner of the intersection. An antenna will be attached to the
existing street signal pole at the southeast corner of Avenue 50 and Park Street.
The DAS at Eisenhower Park will replace the existing light standard with a 30' tall
pole that will include lighting for the park.
Research of similar DAS installations with other municipalities and correspondence
with the City's legal counsel have concluded that the terms of the proposed
Agreement are consistent with other recent similar agreements. The Agreement
also includes "most favored municipality" status, which provides opportunity for
the fee to increase should a more favorable term occur in another neighboring
jurisdiction in the future. As proposed, each DAS is intended to facilitate one
carrier but can accommodate up to three. The Agreement allows for the City to
receive additional revenue of up to $6,000 per carrier should additional carriers be
added to each DAS during the life of the agreement.
ALTERNATIVES:
Council could elect to not have the City Manager execute the Agreement. This
would prevent installation of the antenna at Eisenhower Park and the other two
identified antenna locations due to their reliance upon existing City infrastructure.
In addition, State law provides the ability for NewPath to locate their DAS in public
right-of-way similar to other utilities, subject to the City's wireless communication
provisions. ,

repeaters and related equipment in a configuration substantially similar to the construction
drawings and elevations depicted in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference, and to be located on _ streetlights at certain locations described and diagrammed in
Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference ("DAS Facilities").
E. NewPath and the City each contend that they have certain rights with regard to the

ITEM TITLE: Resolution Extending the Riverside County
Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Program
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION:
CONSENT CALENDAR: 47
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
Adopt a Resolution extending the Riverside County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement
Program.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Riverside County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Service Authority has
provided disbursements of nearly $23 million to participating agencies to help
defray local costs of abandoned vehicle abatement over the past 19 years. The
authorizing legislation for the Riverside County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement
Program (Program) is scheduled to expire in May 2014. New legislation allows the
local service authorities to extend the Program every 10 years with the approval of
the County and a majority of the cities comprising a majority of the population of
the incorporated areas. The City has participated in this Program since 1994. The
Riverside County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Service Authority requests that
the participating cities adopt a supporting resolution prior to February 20, 2013.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Program would qualify the City to receive future disbursements based upon
the City's population and number of vehicles abated. Since the Program's inception
in 1994, the City has received more than $524,348 in disbursements to help fund
the cost of abating more than 4,725 vehicles.
094
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
In 1990, the California State Legislature enacted legislation allowing for the
creation of county -based vehicle service authorities. In June 1994, the Riverside
County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Service Authority was formed and imposed
a one -dollar annual vehicle registration fee on vehicles registered in Riverside
County.
Vehicle registration fees are collected by the Department of Motor Vehicles and
allocated to the Riverside County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Service Authority.
Fees are then allocated to 24 participating entities based upon their geographical
area and population in relation to the total size and population of Riverside County,
and on the basis of the percentage of vehicles abated by each entity in relation to
the total vehicles abated by the Riverside County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement
Service Authority as a whole. The current 24 entities are the County of Riverside,
Canyon Lake, Cathedral City, Coachella, Corona, Desert Hot Springs, Hemet, Indian
Wells, Indio, La Quinta, Lake Elsinore, Moreno Valley, Murrieta, Norco, Palm
Desert, Palm Springs, Perris, Riverside, San Jacinto and Temecula. Since the
inception of the program, the Riverside County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement
Service Authority has received approximately $22,952,216, which has allowed the
abatement of approximately 456,561 abandoned, wrecked, dismantled or
inoperable vehicles.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City may decline to adopt the supporting resolution. That action could
disqualify the City from eligibility to collect future disbursements from the Program.
Furthermore, because the extension of the Program is contingent upon the approval
of jurisdictions comprising a majority of the area and population of the County, lack
of support by a sufficient number of jurisdictions could jeopardize the extension of
the entire program.
Respectfulll i spbmitted,
Jo

Riverside County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Service Authority has been the
recipient of service fees collected on its behalf by the California Department of

member agencies and caused the abatement of approximately 146,561 abandoned,
wrecked, dismantled, or inoperative vehicles located in various cities and the
unincorporated area of Riverside County; and
WHEREAS, the service fee collected as part of the Abandoned Vehicle
Abatement program is set to expire in May 2014; and
WHEREAS, the Legislature recently amended California Vehicle Code §
9250.7 to allow for an extension of the service fee collected as part of the
Abandoned Vehicle Abatement program in increments of up to 10 years each if the
board of supervisors of the county, by a two-thirds vote, and a majority of the
.� 096
cities comprising a majority of the population of the incorporated areas within the
county adopt resolutions providing for the extension of the service fee; and
WHEREAS, it is desirable to the City of La Quinta to have the Abandoned
Vehicle Abatement program continue beyond its current termination date of May

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION:_)
CONSENT CALENDAR:
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
Deny the claim for damages of Miriam A. Johnson in its entirety.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A claim was filed by Miriam A. Johnson with a reported date of loss of December
17, 2012. It was forwarded to Carl Warren & Company, the City's claims
administrator. Carl Warren reviewed this claim and recommends denial.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The amount of the claim is unspecified.
BACKGROUND ANALYSIS:
The claim is for repairs to the claimant's septic tank, which claimant states was
improperly built and should not have passed inspection. The dwelling was
constructed under Riverside County jurisdiction in 1979-1980. In addition, the City
has no record of any permits to repair/modify/replace this septic system.
Therefore, the City is not liable for damages.

Project No. 2012-08.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
• Staff recommends constructing sidewalk and curb ramps on Calle
Sinaloa/Avenue 52, between Eisenhower Drive and Desert Club Drive, and
include the construction of Americans with Disability Act (ADA) compliant
sidewalk, curb ramps and driveway approaches on the north and south sides
of Calle Sinaloa/Avenue 52.
• This project is being financed with Community Development Block Grant

and is subject to Prevailing Wage Requirements.
• This action will result in the Calle Sinaloa and Avenue 52 Sidewalk Infill
Improvements Project to be advertised for construction bids. Award
recommendations will be presented in March 2013.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project is included within the 2012/2013 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
approved by the City Council on July 3, 2012. The project is programmed to
receive $255,722 of CDBG Funding during Fiscal Year 2012/2013. The engineer's
estimate of the construction cost is $177,578.
The following is the adopted project budget:

CONSENT CALENDAR:
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
Appoint two City Council Members to serve on the Civic Center Art Purchase
Committee to select art during the La Quinta Arts Festival.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Civic Center Art Purchase Committee selects art work from the La Quinta Arts
Festival ("Festival"). The availability of original artwork provides an opportunity to
purchase unique pieces for the City's Art in Public Places collection. Staff
recommends the appointment of two City Council Members to select and purchase
art at the Festival.
FISCAL IMPACT:
An amount of $10,000 has been budgeted in the Civic Center Art Purchase
Account.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The 2013 Festival will be held from March 7 to March 10 at the Civic Center
Campus. Since 1989, with the exception of 2004 and 2005, the City has been
selecting artwork from the Festival to be displayed at various City facilities. Two
City Council Members, with assistance from two Community Services Commission
Members, view the artwork at the Festival for consideration of an art purchase.
Council Members Henderson and Osborne participated on the Civic Center Art
Purchase Committee in 2012.
Should the City Council decide to participate in purchasing artwork this year, then
the Community Services Commission will be contacted and asked to assist.
106
ALTERNATIVES:
Do not participate in selection of artwork or elect to not purchase art this year.

ITEM TITLE: Formation and Appointment of Two
City Council Members to an Ad Hoc Committee to STUDY SESSION:
Review Grant Requests PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Establish an Ad Hoc Committee to consider the second round of grant requests_ and
appoint two City Council Members to serve.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Grant Program was established to provide community services support,
marketing support and sponsorships. Per the City grant guidelines, priority for
community services funding is granted to organizations that directly benefit La
Quinta residents. Marketing and sponsorship grants go to organizations that would
benefit the City in a marketing capacity.
If the City Council would like to continue to have the second round of grant
applications reviewed prior to being presented at the City Council Meeting, staff
recommends the formation of an Ad Hoc Committee comprised of two City Council
members.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Grant funding is available in the Community Services Administration budget under
Special Projects. As part of the 2012/2013 Fiscal Year Budget, the City Council
allocated $37,500 to this account to fund community services grants. There is an
$18,350 balance in the budget for this program.
1 108
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City Council previously established a procedure to review submitted community
services grants. Completed grant applications are submitted twice a year and
initially reviewed by a designated Ad Hoc Committee consisting of two Council
Members. The Ad Hoc Committee then recommends consideration of grants to the
City Council. For marketing requests above $5,000, an in-depth review of
applications is first conducted by the La Quinta Marketing Committee.
Council Members Franklin and Evans were appointed to the first round Ad Hoc
Committee. The second round Ad Hoc Committee will review and recommend the
grants presented to City Council on March 5, 2013.
ALTERNATIVES:
There are no alternatives to the recommended action.

SUBJECT: Draft Response Letter to City of Indio for Music Festival Plan Project —
Draft Environmental Impact Report
On January 3, 2013, the Community Development Department received the City of
Indio's Music Festival Plan Project Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR). Staff
has reviewed the DEIR and is preparing a response letter to the Indio Planning
Department. The following represents a project description as proposed in the DEIR
followed by a brief summary of the primary issues identified in the attached draft
response letter prepared by City staff. Following receipt of feedback received by
Council, staff will proceed with submitting the comment letter to Indio prior to the
comment period conclusion date of February 11, 2013.
Project Description
This Project consists of requests for approval of the following actions by the City
of Indio: (1) an amendment to the City's Municipal Code to adopt an ordinance
pertaining to Major Music Festival Event Permits; (2) a Major Music Festival Event
Permit; and (3) a Development Agreement. The characteristics of each of these
actions are described in detail in Attachment 1 and the proposed Event Permit is
summarized below.
The proposed Event Permit will approve five weekend (Friday, Saturday and
Sunday) concert events, three events in spring and two events in fall. Three of
these events will have an authorized all-inclusive (patrons, staff, vendors and
artists) daily attendance limit of 99,000 persons and the other two events will have
a 75,000 person limit. As proposed, both the high and low attendance events
could occur in either spring or fall. Each event will be authorized to include onsite
overnight camping and multiple outdoor music performances between the hours of
11:00 a.m. and 1 :00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and from 11 :00 a.m. to 12:00
a.m. on Sundays, with the exception that the two low attendance events must
conclude the performances by 12:00 a.m. each day. As proposed, the Event Permit
will be valid from 2014 through 2030. i112
Summary of DEIR Comments
Public Service Section:
o Relationship and coordination with City of Indio and GoldenVoice has been
exceptional past two concert seasons. City wishes to continue in same
fashion and ensure that GoldenVoice continues to reimburse City for
additional expenses associated directly with events.
o GoldenVoice has historically provided assistance to Homeowners'
Associations in close proximity to event site for added security. City wishes
to see this effort continued going forward.
Project Description Section:
o Have provided comments on multiple miscellaneous items identified in this
section including cumulative impact analysis for all events at site, further
information regarding proposed Major Music Festival Event Permit Ordinance,
and better understanding as to when the fall events would be held.
Air Quality Section:
o Requested clarification of proposed mitigation measure involving use of
heavy equipment and generators.
o Additional measures are needed to reduce dust during peak pedestrian and
vehicular traffic periods.
• Noise Section:
o Noise levels identified in DEIR exceed La Quinta's noise standards and
impact residents in close proximity to event site.
o DEIR identifies "short-term music performance noise impacts will remain
significant and unavoidable." Have questioned why reduction in sound
volume is infeasible.
o Suggested reducing event hours as part of solution to reduce impacts upon
neighboring residential uses.
Traffic Section:
o DEIR covers 20-year span for events but does not acknowledge importance
of build out of several key streets in area, such as Avenue 50, Madison
Street, Avenue 52 and Monroe Street.
o Review of the DEIR traffic study has prompted multiple comments with
regard to fair share contribution to multiple La Quinta intersections, signal
timing, and ensuring that full extent of event impact has been considered.
Alternatives Section:
o Noise alternative does not consider possible change in orientation of stages
to face north and east as opposed to current south and west configuration; 113
• Effects Not Found to be Significant:
• DEIR does not address impact from temporary security lighting that has or
can impact neighboring residences.

Theiden es the relationship and coordination with City of Indio
Pols a reference to the City of La Quinta. Although the City
of as n included in operations the past two concert seasons, this
has b en the case. Due to adjacency of the event site to the City of
La Quinta, there is a need to ensure that the City will continue to be a part of
the coordinated effort in the future, including reimbursement for expense of
additional services necessary during the festivals.
• On a case by case basis, the Festival Operator has historically provided
additional private security for residential communities adjacent to or within close
proximity to the event grounds. What mechanisms are in place (i.e. inclusion
into the Project Description, Conditions of Approval, Mitigation Measures,
115
contracts/agreements etc.) to ensure that these necessary services will continue
to be provided in the future?
3.0 Project Description
• The City of La Quinta noted in its Sept 28, 2012 letter on the NOP (copy
attached) that the DEIR should address the holding of other special events on
the site and their cumulative impacts. Mitigation should include consideration of
the cumulative impacts associated with all annual events held or contemplated
for the entire 600 acre site. It appears that the pro' description does not
include an inventory of other major events, though er year-round events are
referred to in the Land Use section of the DEIR. T of La Quinta questions
whether the baseline analysis considers other o oing ial events as part of
cumulative impact analysis.

consulted on to the Development Agreement that may impact neighboring
La Quinta residen and property owners.
4.1 Air Quality & Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Mitigation Measure MM AQ-1 requires interim Tier 4 level heavy equipment and
generators, and is the only proposed mitigation measure. However, this Section
identifies several Festival Plan Features to be incorporated into the Operations
Plans discussed in Section 3.0, Project Description. It is stated that these
features were "taken into account in the analysis of potential impacts", but are
not actually in place, as they are yet to be incorporated into the operational
Page 2
116
plans. Please clarify if these plan features are to be considered as mitigation
measures.
• Dust is potentially significant during peak vehicle and pedestrian flows,
especially at the end of shows. In addition to FPF AQ-1 listed on Page S-6,
consideration needs to be made to pave or apply a dust control or soil
stabilization agent designed for heavy traffic flow on all main driveways and
pathways. This effort should also include measures to address track -out from
unpaved roads and parking areas onto paved roadways.

unavoidable needs to include supporting evidence that a reduction in sound
volumes is infeasible, based on reasonable rationale. If the SMP is implemented and
allows sound engineers to monitor noise level measurements, it appears feasible for
sound levels to be adjusted as necessary in order to achieve nominal limits.
The Festival Plan identifies concert end times of 1:00 AM on Saturday and Sunday,
12:00 AM on Sunday for higher attendance festivals. Lower attendance festivals
are to end at 12:00 AM every evening. In addition, entertainment in camping areas
Page 3
4 117
is prohibited after 1:30 AM. What consideration was given to adjusting these
times? For example, establishing earlier concert and camping entertainment end
times combined with aforementioned SMP could make a substantial difference to
the health, welfare and safety for those residing in close proximity to the event
site.
The City of La Quinta strongly emphasizes that greater efforts to reduce music
performance noise levels, combined with earlier event ending times, would provide
realistic mitigation and relief for the residential uses surrounding the event grounds.

C. Tables VI-1 and VI-3: The mitigation measures in these tables rely on cones and
traffic control personnel. The study should address how these mitigation
measures will be enforced and ensure that they will always implement these
measures during peak festival traffic conditions. There will be significant
impacts to several intersections and street segments in the City of La Quinta for
a minimum of 20 days a year. The intersections of Jefferson Street and Avenue
54 as well as Jefferson Street and Avenue 50 operate at Level of Service F with
event traffic. Temporary traffic control changes are offered as mitigation
measures. However, the residents of La Quinta have already expressed strong
concerns about the traffic congestion caused by thes es of festival events
and unavoidable delays experienced accessing thei side ces during festival
events. The study should consider a fair share ution to the following
improvements:

its entire length to provide better access for the events as well as for La Quinta
and Indio residents during festival event traffic conditions.

changes to the design and operation of the sound system used for the main stage
to determine if these changes would reduce the noise impacts of the Project to a
less than significant level. Has a reconfiguration of the event grounds been
analyzed in terms of noise impact? For instance, what wo a the noise impact if

SUBJECT: Report on January 28, 2013 Meeting with Trilogy Residents Regarding
California Bio-Mass
On January 28, 2013, City Manager Frank Spevacek, City Attorney Kathy Jenson
and I attended a meeting at the Trilogy Clubhouse. The meeting was scheduled at
the request of City staff to provide opportunity to update Trilogy residents on the
status of California Bio-Mass as well as field questions. Approximately 75
residents attended the hour long meeting. Several in attendance have previously
sat in or spoke at City Council meetings relating to California Bio-Mass. Staff
provided a brief 15-minute review of events that have occurred to date as well as
covered legal options available to the City and the time frame anticipated resolution
if one of these options was pursued.
The remainder of the meeting was spent fielding questions. Resident
questions/concerns centered on the following:
• Low confidence in the County and their willingness to address resident
concerns.
• A growing concern that the odors could represent toxic fumes that are or
will be resulting in health problems.
• Frustration that the City cannot take legal actions to cause immediate
cessation of operations.
An acute desire to mobilize more Trilogy residents and the residents of the
adjoining communities to petition the County and the City to take action to
shut down operations.
Desire to have the City pursue nuisance litigation against California Bio-Mass.

SUBJECT: Madison Club Landscaping Improvements for Avenue 53 and
Madison Street, Tract Map No. 33076-1- Update
On August 7, 2012, City Council extended Madison Club's time to complete
their off -site improvements to September 9, 2013 provided that the
following two intermediate milestones are met:
1. Developer submit revised plans for the parkway and median
landscaping for Avenue 53 and Madison Street for review prior to
October 12, 2012, and
2. Developer to commence construction for the parkway and median
landscaping improvements for Avenue 53 and Madison Street by
February 1, 2013.
The developer met the first intermediate milestone. The second intermediate
milestone was not met because the revised landscaping plans are currently
still under the second plan check by the Coachella Valley Water District
(CVWD). The developer is anticipating that CVWD will approve the plans by
Thursday, February 7, 2013. Once the landscaping plans are approved by
CVWD, the developer will submit the landscape plans to the City on Friday,
February 8, 2013 and an encroachment permit will be issued to commerce
the work. Please contact me if you have any questions.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council amending Resolution No. 2008-061 relative
to the Development Impact Fee Policy pursuant to the Development Impact Fee
Study, dated February 5, 2013.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
• The City Council discussed the Development Impact Fee (DIF) Study Update
during a Study Session on November 20, 2012. Comments received from
the City Council and the development community have been addressed and
incorporated within the DIF Study.
• The 2013 update is the fifth update to the DIF and the first to assume that
the City will become a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF)
collecting member of the Coachella Valley Association of Governments
(CVAG).
• Staff recommends adopting the updated DIF program because the fees were
calculated in accordance with governing law, are appropriate even when
considering the combined effects of potentially joining the CVAG TUMF
Program and are reflective of all of the comments that were received by all
of the various stakeholders.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended DIF schedule will generate approximately $68,964,957
assuming that all development occurs as anticipated in the City General Plan. The
following table presents the projected revenue by facility type:

The DIF represents the maximum impact fee amount justified by the analysis. The
City Council may choose to adopt fees lower than those recommended; however
alternative funding sources would then need to be identified in order to fund future
DIF improvements in the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). All costs used in
this report are in current dollars.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Development impact fees are one-time charges imposed on development projects
to offset the cost for additional public facilities needed to serve new residents,
employees and customers brought to the area by the development. The City must
update the DIF periodically in order to comply with state law. In 1989, a
California statute took effect, which governs the establishment, increase and
imposition of fees levied by local agencies as a condition of development project
approval "for the purpose of defraying all or a portion of the cost of public
facilities related to this development project." Public facilities are defined in this
statute to include "public improvements, public services, and community
amenities." These requirements are found in the Mitigation Fee Act (Government
Code Section 66000 et seq.) and are commonly known as "AB1600"
requirements after the 1987 assembly bill in which they originated.
The 2013 Update of the City of La Quinta DIF Study is intended to satisfy the
requirements of "AB1600" and to support findings necessary to satisfy both
,statutory and constitutional standards for the establishment and imposition of
development impact fees.
125
California law does not limit the type of capital improvement for which impact fees
can be charged. However, with a few minor exceptions, it does prohibit the use of
impact fees for ongoing maintenance or operation costs. Consequently, the fees
recommended on this report are based on capital costs only.
The following adjustments have been made to the DIF Study in response to the
comments received during the November 20, 2012 Study Session:
1. The Avenue 58 Extension, between Avenue 58 and the north boundary of
Coral Canyon, was added to the list of DIF eligible improvements. This
addition increased the amount the Transportation DIF will collect by
$1,730,953.
2. The Madison Street Improvements between Avenue 60 and Dike No. 4 was
added to the list of DIF eligible improvements. This addition increased the
amount the Transportation DIF will collect by $1,888,038.
3. The 1-10/Jefferson Street Interchange was added to the list of DIF eligible
improvements. This addition increased the amount the Transportation DIF
will collect by $1,720,421. CVAG's most recent proportionate share
calculation for La Quinta for this project is $5,315,125 which might be
lowered if CVAG is successful in getting State Transportation Improvement
Program funding or if construction bids come in lower than the current
engineer's estimate. At this time the only alternate funding sources for the
remainder of the City's share that staff has been able to identify include
General Fund Reserves or Measure "A" funds.
4. The Avenue 50 Bridge spanning the All American Canal was added to the list
of DIF eligible improvements. This addition increased the amount the
Transportation DIF will collect by $300,000. This project was inadvertently
left out of the prior draft.
5. The proposed traffic signal on Calle Tampico at Civic Center Way (City Hall
Driveway) was removed from the DIF. The removal of this improvement
reduced the amount the Transportation DIF will collect by ($430,000).
No adjustments were made to the remaining sections of the DIF.
Public notice requirements were met for this public hearing. It was published in
The Desert Sun newspaper on January 23 and January 30, 2013. City staff
provided the updated DIF Report to the Desert Valleys Builders Association (DVBA)
and the Building Industry Association on January 16, 2013, for review. A written
comment was received from the DVBA dated January 25, 2013 (Attachment
126
2). Any additional comments received will be distributed to the City Council during
the public hearing.
ALTERNATIVES:
In order for the City to implement the TUMF, the DIF must be updated to remove
the regional component covered under the TUMF fee to avoid overcharging
developers for future regional improvements. This update to the DIF does just that
while also removing completed projects and adding new regional projects as
appropriate. Therefore, as long as it is desired to implement the TUMF, staff does
not recommend any alternative to this action.

RESOLUTION NO. 2013-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 2008-061, RELATING TO
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES
WHEREAS, the City of La Quinta was incorporated in 1982; and
WHEREAS, since its incorporation, the City has been and continues to
experience significant development activity in the form of applications and
proposals for new residential and commercial land development within the City;
and
WHEREAS, there is a lack of public improvements and facilities, including a
deficiency in public safety facilities, and the City is responsible for maintaining an
appropriate level of service to the present and future citizens of La Quinta; and
WHEREAS, the City's existing circulation system is inadequate to handle
current and future traffic patterns and it is essential to widen City streets, which
have inadequate width, improve the circulation system to accommodate an
anticipated increase in traffic, and improve and develop bridges and traffic signals
suitable for traffic flow and to minimize conflicts between vehicle, bicycle, and
pedestrian movement; and
WHEREAS, the continued and cumulative development of the City, with the
consequent increase in population and demand for the use of public facilities, will
impose increased requirements for such facilities, including but not limited to fire
stations, park and recreation facilities, major thoroughfares and bridges and traffic
signalization, public safety facilities and other public buildings directly from new
development and the need cannot be met and financed from ordinary City
revenues; and
WHEREAS, the most practicable and equitable method of paying for such
needed facilities is to impose a fee upon new development within the City and the
payment of such a fee enables the City to fund a construction program to provide
such public facilities as they are required and demanded; that when a development
pays the Development Impact Fee established by this policy, the City Council will
be able to find that all necessary public facilities and services will be available
concurrent with the need and, in the event such finding cannot be made, the City
Council will be required to disapprove the development as being inconsistent with
the General Plan; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 66001, an agency establishing, increasing or
imposing impact fees must make findings to:
1. Identify the purpose of the fee;
2. Identify the use of the fee;
3. Determine that there is a reasonable relationship between:
a. The use of a fee and the type of development on which it is imposed;
b. The need for the facility and type of development on which the fee is
imposed;
c. The amount of the fee and the public facility cost attributable to the
development on which the fee is imposed; and
WHEREAS, the City Charter provides authority to the City to regulate all
municipal affairs under Article 1 Section 100; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of this fee program and procedures as set out in
this resolution is found to be a matter of local concern to implement in a timely
manner public infrastructures; and
WHEREAS, the City in 1999 conducted studies relative to future community
infrastructure needs; the funds necessary to meet said capital improvement needs;
and the relationship between those needs and future development; and based
upon said studies and reports, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 99-80; and
WHEREAS, the 1999 Development Impact Fee Study report was previously

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La
Quinta, California, as follows:
Findings. Each WHEREAS paragraph, set forth above, is hereby adopted as
a specific finding of this City Council. The City Council further finds that:
a. The report entitled "Development Impact Fee Study," dated February
5, 2013 (the "Fee Study"), accurately states the City's need of and lack of
ability to provide for the described public buildings, facilities and services to
serve new development. The Fee Study sets forth a necessary and
reasonable method of funding said buildings and facilities. The Fee Study
shows that there is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fee and
the projected types of development; the need for the various public facilities
by the projected types of development pursuant to the City's General Plan;
and the amount of the fee and the proportionate facility cost related to the
development. The Fee Study is hereby approved and incorporated herein by
this reference.
b. The categories of community infrastructure and the percent of said
infrastructure fee attributed to each category of infrastructure in the Fee
Study are as follows:
Transportation
50.37%
Parks
23.92%
Civic Center
12.10%
Library
4.02%
Community Centers

C. As set forth in detail in the Fee Study, in order to allow residential and
commercial land development to proceed in an orderly manner, while insuring
that all new development is consistent with the General Plan, including the
Public Building and Facilities Element, it is necessary and appropriate to
approve the following Development Impact Fee to be imposed upon new
development. Said fee will assist the City in funding a construction program
to provide such needed public buildings and facilities as they are required and
needed.
2. Development Impact Fee Policy Amount. Prior to approval of any zoning, re
zoning, subdivision, or development proposal, the applicant shall pay or
agree to pay a Development Impact Fee in the following amount for the
following type development:
a. Residential Single Family Detached - $6,894 per equivalent dwelling
unit (EDU)
b. Residential Single Family Attached - $6,681 per EDU
C. Residential Multi Family Other - $5,030 per EDU
d. Office/Hospital - $5,379 per 1,000 square feet of floor area (KSF)
e. General Commercial - $6,456 per KSF
f. Tourist Commercial - $2,185 per room
g. Golf Courses - $958 per acre
The fees shall be paid prior to the issuance of building permit.
3. Use of Funds Capital Outlay. All proceeds from fees collected pursuant to
the Development Impact Fee Policy shall be paid into special capital outlay
funds to be established by the City. Said fund or funds shall be used only
for the purpose of acquiring, building, improving, expanding and equipping
public property and public improvements and facilities described as
community infrastructure in this Resolution, as the City Council may deem
necessary and appropriate. Designation of expenditures of funds available
from the special capital outlay fund(s) shall be made by the City Council in
the context of approval of the City's annual operating and capital
improvements budget or at such other time as the City Council may direct.

policy, the following:
a. Any person when imposition of such fee upon that person would be in
violation of the constitution and laws of the United States or the State of
California.
b. The construction of any facility by the City of La Quinta, the United
States or any department or agency thereof or by the State of California or
any department, agency or political subdivision thereof.
5. Credits. Other Methods of Providing Infrastructure. Unless otherwise
specifically provided herein, the Development Impact Fee shall be in addition
to and not in lieu of other valid exactions imposed upon new development
through the subdivision or other approval processes. Provided; however,
that payment of the Development Impact Fee shall be in lieu of payment of
the public facilities and equipment and traffic signalization funds pursuant to
La Quinta Municipal Code, 3.17.020.
Provided further that in the event developer is required to directly provide
infrastructure improvements specifically provided for in the fee structure,
developer shall receive a fair and equitable credit against the "Development
Impact Fee."
The City hereby determines that the development impact fee is not intended
to be the exclusive method of installation of needed public buildings and
facilities and the City will consider alternative proposals to provide needed
infrastructure to particular development and, to the extent such alternative
proposal is discretionary approved by the City Council, developer shall
receive a fair and equitable credit against payment of the Development
Impact Fee. Any developer seeking alternative methods of installation shall
submit such proposal to the City at the time of submittal of an application
for development.
6. Validity. Severance. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase
of this resolution is for any reason held to be invalid, such holding or
holdings shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this
Resolution. The City Council declares that it would have passed this
Resolution and each section, subsection, sentence, clause and phrase
thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections,
sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid.

City of La Quinta — Development Impact Fee Study
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report is the fifth update of the May 1999 Development Impact Fee report completed for the
City by DMG-Maximus, Inc. It is intended to satisfy the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act
(Government Code sections 66000 et seq.) which is commonly known as "AB1600" and to
support findings necessary to satisfy both statutory and constitutional standards for the
establishment and impositions of development impact fees.
A. ORGANIZATION OF THE REPORT
Section I of this report provides an overview of impact fees. It sets forth legal requirements for
establishing and imposing such fees as well as methods used in this study to calculate the fees.
Section 2 contains information on existing and planned uses and development in La Quinta, and
organizes that data in a form that can be used in the impact fee analysis. Sections 3 through 9
analyze the impacts of development on specific types of facilities. Those sections identify
facilities eligible for impact fee funding and calculate recommended impact fees for each type of
facility. Section 10 discusses procedures and legal requirements for implementing an impact free
program under California law. It addresses adoption, administration, and training.
B. FACILITIES ADDRESSED IN THIS REPORT
The types of public facilities covered by this report are listed below, along with the report
sections in which they are addressed
Transportation Improvements (Section 3)
Parks and Recreation Facilities (Section 4)
Civic Center (Section 5)
Library (Section 6)
Community Center (Section 7)
Maintenance Facility (Section 8)
Fire Protection Facilities (Section 9)
C. DEVELOPMENT PROJECTIONS
Development projections used in this study are intended to represent all additional development
expected to occur in La Quinta from June 2012 to build -out of the City under the 2035 General
Plan Update. It is not necessary for purposes of this study to forecast the time at which build -out
will occur. Estimated development potential of the study area was evaluated by the La Quinta
Planning Department and is based on the 2035 La Quinta General Plan Update. Other data on
development and demographics were taken from the 2010 U.S. Census, and Department of
Finance Population estimates.
D. IMPACT FEE ANALYSIS
Each type of facility addressed in the report was analyzed individually. In each case, the
relationship between development and the need for additional facilities was quantified in a way
that allows impact fees to be calculated for various categories of development. For each type of
facility, a specific, measurable attribute of development was used to represent the demand for
additional capital facilities. Recommended impact fees for all types of facilities are summarized
in Table S-1, page 3. The impact fees calculated in this report cover only capital costs. They do
139
February 5, 2013 - Final Page 1
City of La Quinta — Development Impact Fee Study
not include any ongoing costs for maintenance or operations. The following paragraphs briefly
discuss factors considered in the analysis of each type of facility.
Transportation Improvements. The recommended impact fees for street system improvements
are based on the cost of improvements to major, primary, and secondary arterial streets, bridges
and interchanges, traffic signals, and sound attenuation walls required to serve future
development in La Quinta. Those fees assume that developers will continue to be directly
responsible for internal streets and for certain arterial street improvements in cases where a
project fronts on an arterial. Specific improvements to be funded by the impact fee are listed in
the report. The relationship between development and the need for additional street capacity is
defined in the study as a function of additional peak hour trip -miles generated by development
(See Section 2 for a discussion on peak hour trip -miles).
Park and Recreation Improvements. The recommended impact fee for park and recreation
improvements is based on the cost of improvements needed to maintain the existing level of
service, defined as the ratio of park acreage to population. The impact fee analysis addresses
neighborhood and community parks only. The proposed impact fees do not include the cost of
land acquisition, and are intended to be imposed in addition to land dedication or fee -in -lieu
requirements under the Quimby Act. Since the need for park acreage is defined in terns of
population, the impact fee for park improvements will apply only to residential development.
Civic Center. The impact fee analysis for the Civic Center assumes that the existing facility as
recently expanded will be adequate to serve existing and future development in La Quinta. Impact
fees were calculated by allocating total costs for the Civic Center facility on the same basis to all
existing and future development. That method allows Civic Center costs to be shared
proportionately by all users. The relationship between development and the need for additional
space in the Civic Center is complex and indirect. For reasons explained in the body of the report,
this study uses developed acreage to represent the demand for Civic Center facilities.
Libraries. The impact fee for libraries was based on the cost of facilities needed to serve new
development at a level of service somewhat lower than the standard specified in the La Quinta
General Plan. The adopted standard calls for 0.5 square feet of library space and 2 volumes per
capita. The impact fee analysis is based on 0.22 square feet of library space and 1.2 volumes per
capita, and assumes that the City's 20,000 square foot library will be sufficient to serve both
existing and future development. Because of the deficiency in existing facilities relative to the
standard used in the study, the City contributed approximately $6 million from non -impact fee
sources to justify impact fees at the recommended level. Because library facility needs are
defined in term of population, impact fees for library facilities would apply only to residential
development.
Community Center Facilities. Impact fees for Community Center facilities are based on the cost
of maintaining the City's current level of service in terms of square feet per capita. The only
existing community center facilities identified in the study is the multi -purpose room at the Senior
Center, the Multipurpose Room at the La Quinta Museum, and the Community Room at the La
Quinta Boys and Girls Club. Because con m mity center facility needs are defined in terms of
population, impact fees for those facilities would apply only to residential development.
Maintenance Facilities. Impact fees to fund capital cost for development -related street and park
maintenance facilities and equipment are based on the City's current level of investment relative
to existing development. Costs for street and park maintenance facilities are allocated separately,
in a manner that reflects differences in their relationship to development. Costs for street
140
February 5, 2013 - Final Page 2
City of La Quinta — Development Impact Fee Study
maintenance facilities are allocated on the same basis as the cost of street improvements, using
peak hour trip -miles to represent demand. Costs for park maintenance facilities are allocated on
the same basis as the cost of park improvements, using population to represent demand. As a
result, impact fees for street maintenance facilities apply to all types of development while impact
fees for park maintenance facilities apply only to residential development.
Fire Protection Facilities. The impact fees for fire protection facilities were based on the need to
repay loans to the DIF for the new fire station and the expansion of one existing fire station to
serve future development in La Quinta. Impact fees were calculated by dividing the future fire
stations needs by the total developed acreage of future development.
E. RECOVERY OF STUDY COST
As with other types of analysis needed to obtain funding for capital facilities, the cost of
preparing this study may be recovered through impact fees, The fee summary shown in Table S-1
is based on the fees calculated in Sections 3 through 9, but the fees have been adjusted to
incorporate the cost of a future study. That adjustment assumes it will be necessary to update the
study in five years, and that the City will collect an average of $2 million per year in impact fees.
Thus, the $53,000 cost of the study is divided by $10 million (the projected five year total of all
impact fees to be collected by the City) to determine the percentage increase needed to recover
the cost of the study. That percentage is 0.53%, so the fees have been increased by just over one
half percentage points to account for the cost of the study. To make that adjustment, fees
calculated in subsequent sections of the report have been multiplied by 1.053 to arrive at the fees
shown in table S-1.
F. SUMMARY OF IMPACT FEES

H. IMPLEMENTATION
Implementation of an impact fee program raises both practical and policy issues. Section 10 of
this report points out many practical and procedural issues related to the implementation of the
City's impact fee program, and outlines administrative procedures mandated by the Government
Code with respect to impact fees. Topics covered in that section include adoption and collection
of fees, accountability for fee revenues, expenditure time limits, reporting and refunding
requirements updating of fees, and staff training.
From the point of view of the City Council, important policy choices must be made regarding the
share of facility costs to be funded by impact fees, and other sources of funding to be used for
those facilities not funded by the fees. The development impact fees calculated in this report are
intended to represent the maximum impact fee amount justified by the analysis. Of course, the
City Council may choose to adopt fees lower than those recommended. hi that event, it is
important that the City identify which facilities are to be funded by the reduced impact fees, and
the share of total cost to be recovered through fees.

SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
In 1996, the City of La Quinta retained DMG-MAXIMUS, INC (formerly David M. Griffith &
Associates, Ltd.) to analyze the fiscal impacts of anticipated development on certain public
facilities, and to prepare a schedule of development impact fees based on that analysis. DMG-
MAXIMUS, INC. completed a study that was approved by the City Council in May 1999. This
document is the fifth update of that study and is intended to satisfy the legal requirements
governing such fees, including but not limited to those portions of the California Government
Code known as The Mitigation Fee Act (Section 66000 et seq.) which govern the establishment
and imposition of fees levied as a condition of development project approval.
Development impact fees are one-time charges imposed on development projects to recover
capital costs for public facilities needed to serve those new developments and the additional
residents, employees, and visitors they bring to the community. The use of impact fees has
become widespread in California in the last decade as a response to local government budget
strains brought on by tax limitations, reallocation of revenues, and a loss of federal and state
financial assistance. Many communities have increased their reliance on developers for funding
of development -related public facilities.
California law does not limit the type of capital improvements for which impact fees can be
charged. However, with a few minor exceptions, it does prohibit the use of impact fees for
ongoing maintenance or operation costs (see Government Code Section 65913.8). Consequently,
the fees recommended on this report are based on capital costs only.
A. LEGAL BACKGROUND
The legal authority to impose fees on development may be specifically granted by statute, or it
may be found in general grants of authority to local governments under most state constitutions.
California's impact fee statutes do not contain specific enabling language, so cities and counties
in this state depend on their police power or home rule powers for the authority to levy such fees.
Constitutional Considerations. Like all exactions on development, impact fees are subject to
constitutional limitations. Both state and federal courts have recognized the imposition of
development impact fees as a legitimate form of land use regulation, provided they meet certain
standards. Those standards are intended to insure, among other`things, that impact fees do not
violate Fifth Amendment limitation on the taking of private property.
143
February S, 2013 - Final 1-1
City ofLa Ouinta — Development Impact Fee Study
To be constitutionally valid, development regulations must advance a legitimate governmental
interest. In the case of impact fees, that interest is the provision of adequate public facilities so
that development does not cause deterioration in the quality of essential public services.
However, the U.S. Supreme Court has found that an agency imposing exaction on development
must demonstrate an "essential nexus" between such an exaction and the government's legitimate
interest. (See Nollan vs. California Coastal Commission, 1987). In a more recent case (Dolan vs.
City of Tigard, 1994), the Court made clear that an agency also must show that an exaction is
"roughly proportional" to the burden created by development. It should be noted that Dolan is
less significant for impact fees than for other types of exactions (e.g., mandatory dedication of
land) because proportionality is inherent in the proper calculation of impact fees, and legal
scholars are debating the application of Dolan to fee payments.
California Law. In 1989, a California statute took effect which governs the establishment,
increase and imposition of fees levied by local agencies as a condition of development project
approval "for the purpose of defraying all or a portion of the cost of public facilities, related to the
development project..." Public facilities are defined in the statute to include "public
improvements, public services and community amenities." These requirements are found in the
Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code Section 66000 et seq.) and are commonly known as
"AB1600" requirements, after the 1987 Assembly Bill which they originated.
The statute establishes procedures for adopting and justifying impact fees. It also includes
restrictions on the collection and expenditure of fees, and a provision requiring the refunding of
fees under certain conditions. Annual reporting of activity in impact fee accounts is also required,
as is a more complete reconciliation every five years. Reporting requirements were revised by
Legislature in 1996 as part of AB 1693, and are discussed in more detail in the Implementation
Section of this report.
To satisfy the requirements of Section 66001, an agency establishing, increasing or imposing
impact fees must make findings that:
1. Identify the purpose of the fee;
2. Identify the use of the fee; and
3. Determine that there is a reasonable relationship between:
a. The use of the fee and the development type on which it is imposed;
b. The need for the facility and the type of development on which the fee is
imposed; and
C. The amount of the fee and the facility cost attributable to the development
proj ect.
Those requirements are discussed in detail below.

City of La Ouinta — Development Impact Fee Study
B. PURPOSE OF THE FEES
The broad purpose of impact fees is to protect the public health, safety and general welfare by
providing for adequate public facilities. The specific purpose of the fees recommended in this
study is to fund the construction of certain capital improvements which are identified in this
report. Those improvements are needed to mitigate the impacts of expected development in La
Quinta and to prevent deterioration in public services that would result from additional
development if impact fee revenues were not available to fund those improvements.
C. USE OF FEES
If a fee subject to Government Code section 66001 is used to finance public facilities, those
facilities must be identified. A capital improvement plan may be used for that purpose, but is not
mandatory if the facilities are identified in the General Plan, a Specific Plan, or in other public
documents. This report is intended to fulfill that requirement. Specific facilities used to calculate
impact fees in this study are identified in subsequent sections of the report.
D. REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP REQUIREMENT
As discussed above, Government Code Section 66001 requires that, for fees subject to its
provisions, a "reasonable relationship" must be demonstrated between:
The use of the fee and the type of development on which it is imposed;
The need for a public facility and the type of development on which a fee is imposed;
and,
The amount of the fee and the facility cost attributable to the development on which the
fee is imposed.
These three reasonable relationship requirements closely resemble the "benefit," "impact," and
"proportionality" elements, respectively, of the nexus standard which has evolved in the courts to
test the validity of development exactions. hi our opinion, "reasonable relationship" as defined by
these requirements is identical to "nexus" as a practical manner. We will use the nexus
terminology in this report because it is more concise and descriptive, but the methods used to
calculate impact fees in this study are intended to satisfy either formulation. Individual elements
of the nexus standard are discussed further in the following paragraphs.
145
February 5, 2013 - Final 1-3
Citp ofLa Oainta — Development Impact Fee Study
Impact Relationship. All new development in a community creates additional demands on some
or all public facilities provided by local government if the capacity of facilities is not increased to
satisfy that additional demand, the quality of public services for the entire community deteriorate.
The improvements needed to mitigate the impacts of new development in La Quinta are identified
in subsequent sections of this report; the need for those improvements is analyzed in terms of
quantifiable relationships between development and the demand for various types of facilities,
based on applicable level of service standards.
Benefit Relationship. A reasonable benefit relationship requires that fee revenues are expended
to provide the facilities for which they are collected, and that those facilities are available to serve
the development on which the fees are imposed. Nothing in the law requires that facilities paid
for with the impact fee revenues be available exclusively to developments paying the fees.
Procedurally, statutory provisions governing the earmarking and expenditure of fee revenues, and
the requirements for refunding of fees not expended in a timely fashion, are intended to ensure
that developments benefit from the impact fees they are required to pay.
Proportionality Relationship. A reasonable proportionality relationship must be established
through the procedures used in calculating impact fees for various types of facilities and
categories of development. As a practical matter, compliance with both statute and case law
requires an agency to show that impact fees will be used to pay for capital facilities needed to
serve new development, and that the amount charged to different types of development is fairly
related to the demands imposed on public facilities.
It is well -established that impact fees may not be used to mitigate pre-existing deficiencies in
public facilities, to subsidize level of service improvements for the existing community or to
solve problems not created by the development paying the fee. The Nollan decision reinforced the
principle that development exaction, including impact fees, may be used only to mitigate
conditions created by the developments upon which they are imposed. Methods of allocating
facility costs and calculating fees to meet the proportionality requirements are addressed below.
E. IMPACT FEE METHODOLOGY
In general, any one of several approaches may be used in calculating impact fees. The choice of a
particular method depends on the service characteristics of the facility being addressed and the
availability of information on facility plans and future development. Each method has advantages
and disadvantages in a particular situation, and to a limited extent they are interchangeable.
Reduced to its simplest elements, the process of calculating impact fees involves only two steps:
determining the cost of improvements needed to serve development and allocating those costs
equitable to various types of development. However, in practice, the calculation of impact fees is
complicated by complex relationships between development and facility needs, and by limited
information about future conditions. Below we discuss three approaches to calculating impact
fees, and their applicability to certain situations.
February S, 2013 - Final 1-4 146
City of La Ouinta — Development Impact Fee Study
Plan -based Impact Fees. This method is used in this study to calculate impact fees for streets
and certain community facilities. It is most appropriate where estimated costs for a specified set
of improvements (facility plans) are being allocated to all development represented by a specified
land use plan. Costs are allocated in proportion to the relative intensity of demand represented be
each type of development. This method assumes that the entire service capacity of the planned
facilities will be absorbed by projected development, or that excess capacity is necessarily related
to serving future development. For example, it may be necessary to widen a street from two lanes
to four lanes to serve planned development, but some capacity may remain unused after that
development occurs. The plan -based method is often the most workable approach where it is
difficult to measure the actual service consumed by development, for example, with respect to
administrative and law enforcement facilities. It is also useful for facilities such as streets, where
capacity cannot always be matched closely to demand.
Capacity -based Impact Fees. The capacity -based method was not applied in this study and is
discussed here to only provide additional background. It is most appropriate where the costs and
capacity of a facility or system are known, and the amount of capacity used by a particular
quantity of development can be measured or estimated. The total amount of development to be
served need not be known to calculate the fees, so this method is not dependent on a specific land
use plan or a specific set of development projections. Tbis type of fee is established as a rate, or
cost per unit of capacity, and can be applied to any type or amount of development, provided that
adequate capacity remains uncommitted in the facilities on which the fee is based. Capacity -based
fees are most commonly used for water and wastewater systems.
To calculate a capacity -based impact fee rate per unit of demand, facility costs is divided by
facility capacity. To apply the rate to a development project, or to produce a schedule of impact
fees based on standardized units of development (e.g. dwelling units or square feet of building
area), the rate is multiplied by the amount of capacity needed to serve a particular quantity and
type of development.
Standard -based Impact Fees. The standard -based method was used in this study to calculate
impact fees for parks, libraries, community center, and maintenance facility. The standard based
method is related to the capacity -based approach in the sense that it is based on a rate, or cost per
unit of demand. With the standard -based approach, costs are initially determined on a generic
unit -cost basis, and then applied to development according to a standard that sets the amount of
capacity to be made available per unit of development. This approach differs from the capacity -
based approach which typically determines unit cost by dividing the cost of a planned or actual
facility by its capacity.
147
February 5, 2013 - Final 1 5
City of La Ouinta — Development Impact Fee Study
The standard based method is useful where facility needs is defined in terms of service standard,
and where unit cost can be determined without reference to the total size or capacity of a facility
or system. Parks fit that description. It is common for cities or counties to establish a service
standard for parks in terms of acres per thousand residents. Also, the cost per acre for a certain
type of park can usually be estimated without knowing the location of a particular park or the
total acreage of parks in the system. This approach is also useful for buildings such as libraries or
administrative offices, where it is possible to estimate a generic cost per square foot, before a
building is actually designed. One advantage of this approach is that a fee can be established
without committing to a particular size of facility. Facility size can be adjusted based on the
amount of development that actually occurs, avoiding excess capacity. It should be noted that this
method may not be well -suited to specialized recreation facilities such as swimming pools,
gymnasiums, or ball diamonds, which have fairly rigid size requirements.
F. FACILITIES TO BE ADDRESSED
Public facilities, equipment and infrastructure improvements relating to the following functions
are addressed in this study:
• Transportation Improvements
• Parks and Recreation Facilities
• Civic Center
• Fire Protection Facilities
• Libraries
• Community Centers
• Maintenance Facilities
G. RELATIONSHIP TO THE GENERAL PLAN
Much of the analysis in this report is based on information contained in the City of La Quinta
2035 General Plan Update, with particular emphasis on the Land Use Element, the Circulation
Element, the Park and Recreation Element, and the Infrastructure and Public Services Element.
However, data on existing development has been updated to June 2012 by the La Quinta Planning
Department.
Projections of future development used in this study are intended to reflect the development
potential of all undeveloped land covered by the City of La Quinta General Plan Land Use
Element. Except for specific applications noted in subsequent sections, no growth rate or build -
out date is assumed.

SECTION 2
LAND USE, DEMOGRAPHICS AND DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
Land use, demographics and development potential, both existing and projected, must be
analyzed in preparing the City's impact fee program. This section of the report organizes and
correlates information on existing land use, population and employment, as well as projected
development, to form a basis for the impact fee analysis contained in subsequent sections of this
report. The information in this section provides a framework for defining levels of service, for
projecting public facility needs, and for allocating the cost of new capital facilities between
existing and future development, and among various types of new development.
Information on land use and demographics for this study was prepared by the La Quinta Planning
Department. Sources of data include the 2035 La Quinta General Plan Update, the 2010 U.S.
Census, and the California Department of Finance population estimates. Data on existing land
use, and demographics and development used in this report have been updated through June
2012.
A. BACKGROUND AND SETTING
La Quinta is located in the desert resort area of the Coachella Valley in south-central Riverside
County. The City is located along State Route 111, between the City of Indian Wells and City of
Indio. In places, La Quints is contiguous with both of these communities. Existing development
in the City is primarily residential,and includes both conventional residential development and
gated residential and resort communities, some of which contain one or more golf courses.
While a vast majority of the land in La Quinta is designated for residential use, major regional
commercial development is occurring along Highway 111, and more is planned. A significant
portion of the City's total land area lies on the steep slopes of the Santa Rosa and Coral Reef
mountains, and much of that land is reserved as open space.
B. STUDY AREA AND TIME FRAME
The analysis in this study addresses all development expected from the present time to build out
of the area encompassed by the 2035 La Quinta General Plan Update. The impact fee analysis in
this report does not depend on the rate or timing of development, so development projections in
this section do not make assumptions about when build out will occur.
C. RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND POPULATION
In this study, residential development is classified in one of three categories: Single Family
Detached, Single Family Attached, which include condominiums and townhouses, and Multi-
Family/Other which includes apartments and mobile homes. That breakdown is consistent with
existing and anticipated patterns of residential development in La Quinta, Dwelling units are used
as the basic measure of the amount of residential development in each category. According to the
2012 California Department of Finance estimates, single family detached units accounted for
about 79% of all residential units as of June 2012, with single family attached units making up
about 10%. Thus together, the two categories make up approximately 89% of La Quinta's
Existing residential units. Forecasts of future residential development indicate the percentage of
single-family detached units at build out will remain at about 79% of all residential development,
with single-family attached and multi-family/other unit accounting for 10% and 11%
respectively.

Population. Estimates of existing population and projections of future population in La Quinta
are used in this study. Those estimates and projections are based on existing and forecasted
dwelling units, and the average number of persons per dwelling unit. Demographic data from the
2010 Census and Department of Finance population estimates have been used in developing
population estimates and forecasts. Population in group quarters makes up an insignificant
percentage of the existing population, and is not addressed in the population forecasts.
La Quinta's January 2012 population, as estimated by the State Department of Finance, was
38,075. That number represents permanent residents. However, as is the case for other desert
resort communities, La Quinta's population increases considerably during the winter months,
owing to an influx of seasonal residents. The 2010 Census showed that 36.9% of all residential
units in La Quinta were vacant, including 27.5% which were for "seasonal, occasional, or
recreational" use. The Planning Department estimates that the City's total population may exceed
the permanent population by approximately 16,000 residents during peak season.
Figure 2-A illustrates the growth of La Quinta's permanent population, which has more than
tripled since the City's incorporation. The population figures shown on Figure 2A are Department
Finance estimates for January 1 of each year since 1994. It should be noted that the drop in
population beginning in 2011 is based on the revised population estimates presented in the 2010
Census.
Potential Population. For purposes of the present study, permanent population is only partially
useful as a measure of the demand for public services. Because of seasonal fluctuation in the
population of La Quinta, the number of permanent residents of the City seriously understates the
actual service demand represented by residential development in the City. Once a dwelling unit
has been approved and constructed, the City is committed to serve the demand created by that
unit. It has no control over whether, or when, such units are occupied. Thus, to better represent
the City's service commitments, this study uses "potential population" as the basis measure of
demand for population related public services and the facilities that supports them.
February 5, 2013 - Final y j 2 2 C G
City oiLa Quinta — Development Impact Fee Study
As used in this report, "potential population" means the number of people who would reside in
the City if all dwelling units existing at a particular time were occupied. The potential population
is estimated for each category of residential development by multiplying the number of dwelling
units in that category (existing or future) by the average number of persons per occupied unit for
that type of development. Potential population for the City as a whole is the sum of the potential
population for all categories of residential development. This study employs 2010 Census data to
establish the average number of persons per occupied dwelling unit for each category of
residential development. Those factors are used in estimating potential population as of June
2012, and at build out. Henceforth, unless otherwise indicated, when the term "population" is
used in this report it will mean "potential population."
D. NONRESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
In this study, private, non-residential development will be classified in three categories: Office,
General Commercial, and Tourist Commercial. The office and tourist commercial categories are
equivalent to classifications used in the City's General Plan Land Use Element. The General
Commercial category used in this study encompasses all other types of commercial development
addressed by the Land Use Element (Mixed/Regional, Community Neighborhood, Commercial
Park and Village). La Quinta has no existing industrial development, and none is planned.
For purposes of impact fee analysis, commercial development can be measured in a number of
ways. In this report, the basic measure of development for office and general commercial uses is
gross building area, in thousands of square feet (KSF). Tourist commercial development, which
consists of hotels and associated uses, is measured in terms of guest rooms. Data on existing
nonresidential development are taken from the land use analysis of the City's 2035 General Plan
Update. Forecasts of future nonresidential development to build out were prepared by the City's
Planning Department.
E. MEASURE OF DEMAND
Certain attributes of development, including acreage, population, trip generation, and trip length
will be used in the impact fee analysis to represent demand for certain public services and to
provide a yardstick for determining service levels for various types of facilities. Tables 2-1, 2-2,
and 2-3, presented later in this section, provide estimates of existing development and forecasts of
future development in La Quinta, as measured by various relevant attributes. The numerical
values of those factors used to measure those attributes for various types of development are
shown in the footnotes to Table 2-1. Population and potential population were discussed above.
The following paragraphs discuss other measures of demand used in this report.
Acreage. Acreage is a basic attribute of all development. In this report, gross acreage is used as a
measure of demand for fire protection facilities and general government facilities.
Trip Generation. The number of trips generated by various types of development is commonly
used as a basis for allocating the cost of road improvements to various types of development. In
this study, we have used peak hour trips, rather than the average daily trips, in allocating
improvement costs. Peak hour trips relate more directly than 24-hour trip generation to the need
for additional street capacity. The number of peak hour trips related to a particular development is
estimated by applying standard trip generation factors to units of development, such as acres,
dwelling units, or square feet of building area. The trip generation rates used in this study are
taken from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) manual Trip Generation (The 8`"
edition was used as the primary source).
February 5, 2013 - Final 2-3
City of La Quinta — Development Impact Fee Study
Trip Length and Peak Hour Trip -Miles. Both the number of trips generated by development and
the length of those trips affect the amount of peak hour roadway capacity needed to serve
development. Peak hour trip -miles (the product of peak hour trips and average trip length, by
development type) will be used in this study as an index of demand for roadway capacity.
The best available information on the average trip lengths by land use type are published by the
San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) in its publication, Vehicular Traffic
Generation Rates for the San Diego Region. Although the trip lengths presented in that
publication do not apply specifically to La Quinta, we believe they reasonably represent the
relative relationship of trip lengths for various types of development. Because the cost of street
improvements is allocated to development projects in proportion to their relative share of total
demand, it is the relative relationship, rather than actual trip length, that is important here.
It should be noted here that the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) has
developed trip length data for the Coachella Valley. However, those trip lengths are calculated by
trip purpose rather than by land use type. In addition, they are intended to reflect travel on
regional facilities, and do not include the portion of trips on local street networks. Consequently,
the CVAG trip length information is not useful for purposes of the analysis.
F. EXISTING AND FORECASTED DEVELOPMENT
Summaries of existing and forecasted development in La Quinta, by land use type, are presented
in Tables 2-1 through 2-3 as presented later in this section. The following charts illustrate
graphically the relationship of existing development (from Table 2-1) to future development
(from Table 2-3).
Figure 2-B shows residential development in terms of dwelling units by type. As that chart
illustrates quite clearly, the number of dwelling units anticipated in the future is greater than the
number of units currently existing, for all types of residential development in La Quinta.

City of la Quinta — Development Impact Fee Study
SECTION 3
TRANSPOR TA TION IMPA CT FEES
This section of the report addresses impact fees for street system improvements needed to handle
traffic that will be generated by future development in La Quinta. The capital projects covered by
the recommended impact fees involve only the arterial street system, and include street
improvements, bridges, traffic signals, sound attenuation walls, and right-of-way purchases.
Improvements to collector and local streets are not included in the impact fee analysis.
A. SERVICE AREA AND TIME FRAME
This study addresses only improvements to the arterial street system, which serves the entire City.
Consequently, the City will be treated as a single service area for purposes of calculating traffic
impact fees. The time frame covered by this analysis is not defined as a certain number of years,
but rather as the span of time required for build out of the undeveloped land designated for
development in La Quinta General Plan, as amended. That time frame depends on the rate at
which development occurs, and the timing of development fluctuates according to economic
conditions and other factors. Since the rate of development does not affect the calculation of
impact fees addressed in this section of the report, assumptions about that rate are unnecessary
here.
B. LEVEL OF SERVICE
Level of service on the components of circulation systems is evaluated by transportation planners
in terms of traffic flow on streets and operational conditions at intersections. As stated in the
Circulation Element of the La Quinta General Plan, level of service is a qualitative measure of
traffic flow and driver satisfaction. Level of Service (LOS) is evaluated on a scale from "A" to
"F". LOS A is characterized by free flowing traffic and no delay at intersections. LOS F
represents over -saturated conditions resulting in serious congestion and significant intersection
delays.
The City's Circulation Element establishes LOS D as the minimum peak hour standard for streets
in La Quinta, and provides that, no development project shall be approved, without adequate
mitigation, if it will create conditions that violate the standard. The Circulation System Policy
Diagram, which is part of the Circulation Element, identifies the street improvements that will be
needed to serve anticipated development at the adopted minimum level of service standard. The
Diagram is based on traffic modeling done in conjunction with preparation of the Circulation
Element. The capital projects to be funded by traffic impact fees recommended in this section are
consistent with the Policy Diagram, and do not include improvements needed to correct existing
deficiencies in La Quinta's circulation systems.
C. DEMAND VARIABLE
The demand variables used to represent the impact of development on La Quinta's circulation
system are peak hour -trip miles. That variable, which is discussed in Section 2 of this report, is
the product of the number of peak hour trips per unit of development and average trip length by
development type. The use of peak hour -trip miles as a demand variable is intended to reflect the
need for additional street system capacity resulting from new development.

City o(La Ouinta — Development Impact Fee Study
D. FACILITY NEEDS AND COST ALLOCATION
The development -related improvement costs to be funded by impact fees calculated in this study
include street widening and. extension projects (including right-of-way acquisition), bridge
construction, new traffic signals, sound attenuation walls and reimbursement to prior developers
that installed certain street improvements over and above the conditioned offsite improvements.
Collector and local streets needed to serve new development are assumed to be constructed by
developers as project improvements.
The list of street projects on which the impact fee analysis is based assumes that developers will
be directly responsible for constructing the outside travel lane, plus curb, gutter, sidewalks on
arterial streets fronting their projects. In residential areas this requirement will also include a
parking lane. As a result, the impact fees for arterial streets will cover only the cost of additional
travel lanes (e.g., the two inside lanes on a four -lane arterial), left turn lanes, as well as median
improvements, on those arterials where they do not already exist. Impact fees for street
improvements are intended to cover only the cost of improvements that do not currently exist and
will not be constructed by developers as a condition of project approval. Estimates of costs for
bridges, traffic signals and/or roundabouts to be covered by impact fees assume that a portion of
the cost of some improvements will be contributed by other agencies, such as City of Indio,
Riverside County, or the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG).
Tables 3-1 through 3-6 identify the street system capital improvements attributable to future
development. Total costs for development -related street -system improvements are shown in
Table 3-7. A detailed breakdown of cost estimates is included in Appendix A.

Table 3-3 shows the cost of bridges needed to serve future development. As noted in the table,
costs for each of the four bridges listed are shared by CVAG and/or funding from the Highway
Bridge Program (HBP) sponsored by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
The resulting cost is applied to new development.
Table 3-3 also includes the cost for the reconstruction of the Jefferson Street Interchange at
Interstate 10. The cost of this regional improvement is estimated to be $60,578,200, with CVAG
funding 75% of the costs. The County of Riverside, City of Indio and City of La Quinta will
share in the cost of funding the remaining 25% local share. The City of La Quinta is responsible
for 42% of the 25% local share. As indicated previously, the demand variable used in the
allocation of circulation system costs is peak hour trips. Using the tabulated data from Section 2,
future development accounts for 27.04% of total peak hour trips at build -out. Consequently,
27.04% of La Quinta's 42% share of the 25% local share will be assigned to future development.
Table 3-3
Street System Improvements- Bridge Improvements
The share assigned to new development assumes up to 75% of the costs are funded from CVAG's Regional Arterial
Program and/or Caltmns Highway Bridge Program

jurisdictions.
With the exception of the citywide central control system and the Jefferson Street at Avenue 52
Roundabout Modifications, all of the remaining signals/roundabouts listed will be needed entirely
as a result of future development. As indicated in the Table 34, 27.04% of the cost of the
citywide central control system and Jefferson Street at Avenue 52 Roundabout Modifications is
attributed to future development.

Table 3-5 shows the cost of sound attenuation walls expected to be required as a result of future
development. The cost of sound walls adjacent to developed property are included in the impact
fee calculations because the City has determined that future development will increase traffic
noise levels to a point where sound attenuation will be required. The cost of sound walls for
undeveloped property will be handled case by case, as part of the development approval process.

Table 3-8 shows the calculation of the unit cost per peak hour trip -mile. To establish that unit
cost, the total cost of development related improvements from Table 3-7 is divided by the
projected volume of peak hour trip -miles to be added by new development, from Table 2-2,
Section 2.

Table 3-9 shows the conversion of the cost per peak hour trip -mile from table 3-7 into
standardized impact fees per dwelling unit for each category of development. This conversion is
based on the essential number of peak hour trip -miles per unit of development for each land use
category. As discussed in Section 10, Implementation, we recommend that the impact fees be
formally adopted in terms of the cost per trip, as shown in Table 3-8.

The standardized fees shown in Table 3-9 allocate a portion of the cost of future street
improvements to future public facilities, schools, and parks, reflecting the fact that those land
uses do generate traffic. However, since those public facilities will be constructed to serve future
private development, the traffic they generate is also attributable to future private development.
To reflect that reality, the costs allocated to public facilities in Table 3-9 will be reallocated to
private development. All of the costs attributed to schools and parks will be reallocated to
residential development, because those facilities serve only residential development. Costs
attributed to other public facilities will be reallocated to all development.
The method used to redistribute the costs attributed to public facilities is as follows:
Calculate the total cost allocated to each public facility category. Multiply the fee per
unit of development from Table 3-9 by the number of units of development shown in
Table 2-2. Divide that amount by the sum of all peak hour trip -miles generated by the
receiving group of private land use category. The resulting cost per peak hour trip -mile is
then added to the fees shown in table 3-9 for each of the receiving categories. Table 3-10
summarizes the adjustments to allocated cost per trip mile.

City ofLa Quinta — Development Impact Fee Studv
SECTION 4
PARKS & RECREA TION IMPA CT FEES
This section of the report addresses impact fees for parks required to serve future development in
La Quinta. Land (or fees in lieu of land) for future parks, will be acquired by the city from sub
dividers under the provisions of the Quimby Act (Government Code 66477). Park impact fees
calculated in this section of the report are intended to cover only the cost of the park
improvements, and will be levied in addition to any land dedication or fee -in -lieu requirements
imposed pursuant to the Quimby Act.
A. SERVICE AREA AND TIME FRAME
The facilities addressed in this section include both neighborhood and community parks.
Functionally, neighborhood parks are intended to serve a specific part of the City while
community parks serve the entire City. However, some parks in La Quinta serve both functions.
As a result, the impact fees calculated in this section are based on a combined level of service
standard for neighborhood and community parks. Those fees will be calculated on a citywide
basis, and applied to new development in all parts of the City. No specific time frame is specified
in this analysis because the method used to calculate park impact fees does not depend on the
timing of development or the total amount of development to be served.
B. LEVEL OF SERVICE
At present, parks and recreation facilities in La Quinta are provided both by the City, and by the
Desert Recreation District (DRD). Because parks owned by both entities were funded by
residents of La Quinta, all existing facilities will be considered in establishing the existing level
of service. This study does not distinguish between neighborhood and community parks because
only basic park improvements are covered by the impact fees.
Table 4-1 lists La Quinta's existing parks. Not included is the 845-acre Lake Cahuilla Regional
Park, which is located in La Quinta, but owned by Riverside County. Regional parks are not
considered in the calculation park impact fees.

The existing level of service for parks in La Quinta will be defined in terms of acres of existing
developed park land per 1,000 residents. Table 4-2 computes the existing level of service. Policy
PR-1.2 in the Parks and Recreation Element of the General Plan established a standard of 5.0
acres of improved neighborhood and community park acreage per thousand residents. However,
the level of service calculated during the development of the Development Impact Fees, as shown
in Table 4-2, will be used to calculate the impact fees for parks and recreation facilities.

C. DEMAND VARIABLE
As indicated above, population is used here as the variable representing the need for parks in La
Quinta. Population is almost universally accepted as the proper basis for establishing level -of -
service standards for parks, and is used in the Quimby Act, in the City's General Plan, and by the
National Recreation and Parks Association. As used in this section, population is defined as the
potential population of the City, if all dwelling units were occupied. (See Section 2)
See Table 4-1
Population figures used in this study are based on 100% occupancy of all existing dwelling units
February 5, 2013 - Final
City ofLa Quinta —Development Impact Fee Study
D. FACILITY NEEDS AND COST ALLOCATION
In this study, the need for park improvements is defined in terms of park acreage per capita as
discussed above. The cost for required park facilities is established on a per capita basis, and park
impact fees per dwelling unit are based on the average number of residents per dwelling unit for
each category of residential development. No park impact fees will be charged to nonresidential
development.
Based upon a review of recent construction bids for Park construction in the region, an estimated
cost of $500,000 per acre will be used to calculate the park development impact fee. The
estimated cost used in this analysis covers park improvements such as landscape and irrigation,
picnic facilities, playgrounds, and sports fields. It does not include the cost of facilities such as
tennis courts or swimming pools, which would have to be funded from other sources.
E. IMPACT FEES
Table 4-3 shows the calculated of the cost per capita for park improvements described above,
using the level of service standard previously described.

SECTION 5
CIVIC CENTER IMPACT FEES
This section of the report addressed impact fees for the La Quinta Civic Center. The existing
Civic Center was originally constructed in 1993. As presented in Section 2, the City has
experienced considerable growth since 1993, which resulted in the need for an additional 22,000
square foot expansion of the original facility. The Civic Center expansion was completed in
April 2008. The expanded Civic Center should now be capable of serving the City's needs
through build out.
As with all impact fee funded public facilities, a long term collection period is needed to generate
the necessary impact fee funding share. In this case, the impact fee funds will not be completely
collected until "build -out" of the City. In order to meet the demands of existing and future
development, it was necessary to either loan funding from the City's General Fund and/or issue
long term revenue bonds to construct the Civic Center. The loans and revenue bonds will be paid
back annually as new development occurs and fees are collected.
A. SERVICE AREA AND TIME FRAME
The Civic Center has a citywide service area, so the impact fees for that facility will be calculated
on a citywide basis. The time frame for this analysis is from July 1, 2012 through build -out of all
development contemplated in the General Plan.
B. LEVEL OF SERVICE
For facilities of the type addressed in this section, level of service standards is generally implied
rather than explicit. That is, decisions are typically made to build out required facilities without
formally adopting a standard. The level of service used in establishing impact fees will be based
on the recently expanded facilities and will be discussed in more detail later in this section.
u.0l1
In order to calculate impact fees, it is necessary to specify formulas that quantify the relationship
between development and the need for facilities. In those formulas, demand variables are used to
represent the effect of various types of development on the need for a particular type of facility.
Demand variables are measurable attributes of development which drive, or at least correlate
with, the need for additional capital improvements.
For facilities such as water and sewer systems, service usage can be physically measured and
attributed to specific types of development. However, the relationship between development and
the need for Civic Center facilities is complex and, in some cases, indirect.
It is self-evident that the need for administrative facilities in any city generally increases as the
city grows. Nevertheless, the relationship between specific types of development and the need for
administrative facilities is difficult to quantify. hi La Quinta, the Civic Center houses staff from
all City departments. Given the multiplicity of services supported by the Civic Center, and the
indirect relationship between development and the demand for some of those services, no single
attribute of development neatly represents the effect of development on space needs in that
facility. Under the circumstances, it is reasonable to use generalized measure of development to
approximate service demand for purposes of calculating impact fees.

Acreage is the most general measure of development, and is applicable to all types of
development, and developed acreage will be used here as the demand variable in analyzing
impact fees for the Civic Center. If all future developed acreage were included in the cost
allocation formula, a portion of the cost for Civic Center facilities would be allocated to parks,
schools, and other public facilities. In table 5-1, acreage devoted to those uses is excluded from
the cost allocation in this section, because those public uses do not create a demand for the
services supported by the Civic Center facilities. In the case of golf courses, only the portion of
course acreage devoted to the clubhouse and related facilities will be considered developed for
purposes of this analysis. The City estimates that portion to be 5% of the total acreage.
D. FACILITY NEEDS AND COST ALLOCATION
The original La Quinta civic center, which was completed in 1993, contained 33,000 square feet
of gross floor area. The City has experienced considerable growth since 1993. This new growth
resulted in the need for the anticipated 22,000 square feet expansion of the original facility. The
resulting 55,000 square foot building is now expected to serve -the City's needs well into the
future. Although additional facilities may be needed prior to build out, this study makes the
conservative assumption that the existing Civic Center and the recently completed expansion will
serve the City's needs through build out. Because the Civic Center serves both the existing and
future development, the costs of the entire facility will be allocated on the same basis to both
existing and future development. Credit will be given in the analysis for non -impact fee
contributions to the cost of the facility.
As indicated previously, the demand variable to be used in the allocation of Civic Center costs is
developed acreage. Table 5-1 tabulates developed acreage for existing and future development,
using data from Section 2. As indicated in Table 5-1, future development accounts for 27.39% of
total developed acreage at build out. Consequently, 27.39% of eligible Civic Center costs will be
assigned to future development in this analysis.
See Table 2-1
See Table 2-2
See Table 2-3
February 5, 2013 - Final 5-1 , IM.. 170
City ofLa Ouinta — Development Impact Fee Study
Table 5-2 shows the total cost of the existing civic center, which is defined in this analysis as the
sum of past and future cash outlays, plus the present value of future debt service payments on
bonds used to finance construction. The present value calculation discounts all expenditures for
inflation at an assumed 3.5% annual rate, resulting in an effective real interest rate of
approximately 3% per year on outstanding debt. The share of Civic Center costs, including debt
service, paid by the redevelopment agency (RDA 30%) and by future general fund contributions
(40%) is not included in the future funds needs for impact fee calculations. The Civic Center
22,000 expansion is complete. The costs presented below are based on the actual project costs
assigned to the impact fee. The future funds needed for the Civic Center debt service attributable
to the Development Impact Fees (30%) have not been discounted because of the need to construct
the Civic Center expansion before all Civic Center impact fees are collected. The Civic Center
DIF collected would then be used to pay debt service on the existing bonds and repay the RDA
for the expansion. No interest costs have been added to the DIF for this RDA advance.

SECTION 6
LIBRARYIMPACT FEES
This section of the report addresses impact fees for library facilities required to serve future
development in La Quinta. Library services in the City are currently provided by the Riverside
City -County Library System. The City of La Quinta recently completed the construction of a
new 20,000 square foot library facility within the Civic Center Campus. The new library facility
was paid for with a loan from the City Redevelopment Agency. It is intended that fees collected
from new development will repay the loan and provide the revenue necessary to expand library
operations in the future. It is not clear at this time whether La Quinta will ultimately choose to
operate its own library, or continue its agreement with the Riverside City -County Library System
to operate the City owned library facility, but that decision does not affect the capital costs or the
impact fee calculations.
A. SERVICE AREA AND TIME FRAME
The facilities addressed in this section have a citywide service area, so impact fees will be
calculated for the City as a whole. The time frame for this analysis is from July 1, 2012 through
the build out of all development contemplated in the General Plan.
B. LEVEL OF SERVICE
The public facilities element of the La Quinta General Plan includes the following planning
standard for libraries: 0.5 square feet of library space per capita and 2 volumes, per capita.
However, for purposes of establishing impact fees, the City has chosen to use a lower standard of
0.22 square feet of library space per capita, which equates to a 20,000 square foot library to serve
the population projected at build out. That standard will be used to establish an impact fee for
library buildings in La Quinta. The adopted standard of 1.2 volumes per capita will be used for
library materials.
C. DEMAND VARIABLES
In order to calculate impact fees, it is necessary to specify formulas that quantify the relationship
between development and the need for facilities. In those formulas, demand variables are used to
represent the effect of various types of development and the need for a particular type of facility.
Population is the universally accepted basis for defining library facility needs, and will be used as
the demand variable in allocating the cost of those facilities.

Table 6-1
It is generally accepted that the City may not legally charge impact fees to new development to
support a level of service higher than the level of service provided the existing community.
Otherwise, fees charged to new development could result in subsidy to existing development.
Since the impact fees calculated in this section are based on a level of service standard higher
than the existing level of service, they can be justified only if the City were to eliminate the
existing deficiency relative to the proposed service standard. The cost of doing so would have to
be paid with funds other than impact fees.
E. IMPACT FEES
Table 6-2 converts the per capita costs in Table 6-1 to impact fees per unit of development.
Because population is used as the demand variable in this case, library impact fees apply only to

analysis, the current ratio of community center building area to population will be used as the
level of service standard. In other words, the level of service used in computing impact fees for
future development will be identical to the current level of service for existing development. The
existing ratio of facilities to population is shown in Table 7-1.
Table 7-1
C. DEMAND VARIABLE
Population is used here to define the relationship between development and facility needs, and
will be used as the demand variable in calculating impact fees for community center facilities.
D. FACILITY NEEDS AND COST ALLOCATION
Table 7-2 shows cost per capita for community center facilities needed to meet the level of
service defined in Table 7-1. All amounts are in current dollars.

SECTION 8
MAINTENANCE FACILITY IMPACT FEES
This section of the report addresses impact fees for maintenance facilities required to serve future
development in La Quinta. At present, the City's corporation yard is no longer meeting the
existing need caused by new development. The City's corporation yard requires expansion to
meet the demands of existing and future development.
A. SERVICE AREA AND TIME FRAME
The facilities addressed in this section have a citywide service area, so La Quints will be
considered a single benefit area in assessing impact fees for those facilities. The time frame for
this analysis is from July 1, 2012 through build out of all development contemplated in the
General Plan.
B. LEVEL OF SERVICE
For the type of facilities addressed in this section, level of service standards is generally implied
rather than explicit. That is, decisions are typically made to build required facilities without
formally adopting a standard. The level of service used in establishing impact fees will be based
on the existing level of service, that is, the relationship between existing development and the
City's investment in current facilities, will be used as the basis for calculating impact fees for
maintenance facilities.
C. DEMAND VARIABLES
In calculating impact fees, it is necessary to specify formulas that quantify the relationship
between development and the need for facilities. In those formulas, demand variables are used to
represent the effect of various types of development on the need for particular type of facility.
The City corporation yard includes facilities for parking and maintaining vehicles and equipment
employed in street and park maintenance operations. The Public Works Department estimates
that the street maintenance accounts for 80% of those facility needs. Facility costs related to street
maintenance will be allocated using the same variable applied to street improvements, that is,
peak hour trip -miles. The remaining 20% of facility costs, which supports park maintenance, will
be allocated in the same manner as park facilities costs, using population as the demand variable.
D. FACILITY NEEDS AND COST ALLOCATION
The existing corporation yard facilities are not adequate to meet the City's current needs. The
existing level of service, stated in terms of the City's investment in current facilities, is calculated
in Table 8-1.

The City's current investment per unit of demand for street and park maintenance facilities will
be applied to future development to calculate impact fees for those facilities. That is, the cost
from Table 8-1 will be divided by the existing demand and the resulting unit cost will be used as
the basis for the impact fees. The current cost per unit of demand, for each facility type is
calculated in Table 8-2. All amounts are current dollars.

E. IMPACT FEES
Tables 8-3 and 84 convert the cost per unit of demand from Table 8-2 into impact fees per unit
of development for street and park maintenance facilities, respectively.
Based on Public Works Department estimate that 80% of facilities are used for street maintenance and 20 % for park
maintenance
See Table 2-1, Demand for street improvements is stated in tetras of peak hour trip miles. Parks, schools, and other public
facilities are not included in this analysis because demand created by those users is ultimately attributable to the private
development served by those uses.
See Table 2-1, Demand for park maintenance is stated in terms of population.

SECTION 9
FIRE PROTECTION FACILITIES IMPACT FEES
This section addresses impact fees for fire protection facilities required to serve future
development in La Quinta. Fire. protection in La Quinta is the responsibility of the Riverside
County Fire Department, and is contracted to the California Department of Forestry. Three fire
stations exist in La Quinta at present. The City's North Area Station was constructed with funds
that were advanced, or loaned to the DIF, from other funding sources. The newest of these
stations is the recently constructed Village Cove Area Station which was constructed with County
Fire Credit Funds. The Village/Cove Area Station did not receive loans from any other funding
source and is no longer considered in the calculation of future Fire Protection Facility Impact
Fees.
A fourth City fire station is in the site selection process. The fourth station is intended to serve
areas of the City that are currently underserved, as well as, new development in the southeastern
parts of the City and the unincorporated County areas, specifically the Vista Santa Rosa
community.
A. SERVICE AREA AND TIME FRAME
Although individual fire stations have specific service areas where they are designated to provide
fast response emergency calls, all fire protection facilities operate as part of an integrated
citywide system. The resources of the entire system are needed to provide adequate fire
protection in any part of the City. Thus, it makes sense to treat the entire City as a single service
area for purposes of calculating fire protection impact fees. That approach is further supported by
the fact that calculating separate impact fees for individual fire station service areas may well
impose significantly different charges on similar development projects in different parts of the
City for essentially the same level of service. This analysis will allocate costs for fire protection
facilities citywide, so that the impact fees for a particular type of development project would be
the same regardless of its location in the study area.
The time frame for this analysis is from July 1, 2012 through build out of all development
contemplated in the General Plan.
B. LEVEL OF SERVICE
Level of service for fire protection is typically defined in terns of maximum response times.
Response times, in turn, depend largely on the maximum distance that must be traveled in
responding to an emergency call, and that distance is determined by the size of the area covered
by a particular fire station. For purposes of this analysis, level of service must be translated to
facility needs. The number of fire stations needed to serve an area with acceptable response times
is typically detemvned by analysis of specific conditions within the area served. The number of
fire stations needed to serve La Quinta at build -out has been determined by the City, and will be
used as the basis for the impact fee analysis.
C. DEMAND VARIABLE
In order to calculate impact fees, it is necessary to specify formulas that quantify the relationship
between development and the need for facilities. In those formulas, demand variables are used to
represent the effect of various types of development on the need for a particular type of facility.
Demand variables are measurable attributes of development which drive, or correlate with, the
February 5, 2013 — Final 9 1 r 183
City ofLa Ouinta — Development Impact Fee Study
need for facilities. As indicated in the level -of -service discussion, above, the most important
factor in determining how many fire stations are required to serve an area, given a certain
response time standard, is the size of the area served. For that reason, developed acreage will be
used as the demand variable for allocating fire station costs.
If all future developed acreage were included in the cost allocation formula, a portion of the cost
for fire station facilities would be allocated to parks, schools, and other public facilities. However,
since those public facilities will be constructed to serve future private development, their fire
protection needs are also attributable, though indirectly, to future private development.
To reflect that reality, the future acreage devoted to those uses will not be included in the cost
allocation which means that none of the cost for added fire station facilities will be allocated to
those uses. In the case of golf courses, only the portion of course acreage devoted to the
clubhouse and related facilities. will be considered developed for purposes of this analysis. The
City estimates that portion to be 5% of total acreage. See Table 9-1 for a breakdown of developed
acreage used in this section.

D. FACILITY NEEDS AND COST ALLOCATION
Three fire stations operate in the City of La Quinta, at present. One city -owned station was paid
for by a major developer. The second station, the Village/Cove Area Station was recently
replaced with County Fire Credit Funds. Based on running distances and projected response
times, a third station serving the northern portion of the City was constructed with funds that were
advanced, or loaned to the Fire Protection Facilities DIF, from other funding sources. hi addition,
a fourth station is currently in the planning and site selection process and is intended to serve the
southeastern portion of the City and portions of the unincorporated County, specifically the Vista
Santa Rosa community.
See Table 2-I
See Table 2-2
See Table 2-3
February S, 2013 — Final 9-2'o 184
City ofLa Ouinta — DeyelODMenl Impact Fee Study
The City's goal is to locate the fourth fire station as near as possible to Monroe and Avenue 60.
It is intended to have a primary service radius of 1.5 miles, however its service area, like most
stations will end up being rectangular. It will enhance services by decreasing response times to
all areas of the city located south of an east/west line drawn approximately one half mile north of
Avenue 58. The service area for the fourth station is split between the City and the County at
50% each. The station planned at present would be approximately 7,000 square feet in size on
approximately 1.5 acres. The project cost of the fourth station is estimated at $4,397,000.
As indicated previously, the demand variable to be used in allocating fire protection facility costs
is developed acreage, excluding acreage devoted to schools, parks and other public facilities. This
same methodology will be utilized for the future fire facilities. Table 9-1 tabulates developed
acreage for future development, using data from Section 2. Table 9-2 estimates the cost of future
fire protection facilities allocated to future development.

SECTION l0
IMPLEMENTATION
This section of the report contains recommendations for adoption and administration of
development impact fee program based on this study, and for the interpretation and application of
impact fees recommended herein.
A. ADOPTION
Adopt a resolution amending Resolution 2008-061 to implement the changes reflected in this
update. For reasons discussed below, each impact fee should be adopted as a charge per unit of
service, rather than as scheduled of fees per unit of development. Thus, an impact fee for street
improvements would be adopted as a charge per peak hour trip -mile, rather than as a flat fee per
dwelling unit or other unit of development. Additional discussion of this point is presented under
Administration, below.
B. ADMINISTRATION
Several requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code Section 66000 et seq.) address
the administration of impact fee programs, including collection and accounting procedures,
refunds, updates and reporting. References to code sections in the following paragraphs pertain to
the Government Code.
Application of Impact Fee Rates. In general, impact fees recommended in this report are
calculated initially in terms of a cost per unit of service, and then converted into fees per unit of
development. Service units are attributes of development, such as population and trip generation,
which are used to represent demand for various types of public facilities. To apply impact fees to
a development project, it is necessary to estimate how many units of service are required by that
project. For the administrative convenience of the City, and to facilitate cost estimating by
builders and developers, it is useful to convert impact fee rates into standardized fees for common
units of development, e.g., dwelling units for residential development, or building area for
commercial development. All impact fee rates calculated in this study have been converted to
standardized fees per unit of development for the land use categories defined in this study.
However, as indicated above, it is recommended that the adopted impact fees state the amount of
the fees in terms of service units (e.g., dollars per peak hour trip=mile) instead of, or in addition
to, adopting a schedule of fees per unit of development (e.g., dollars per Single Family Dwelling
Unit). Adopting fees in terms of service units provides a basis for adjusting fees in cases where a
development project has demand characteristics that vary significantly from the norms used to
characterize the land use categories in this report.
It should also be noted that some commercial and industrial buildings are not designed for a
specific type of tenant and their use can change over time. For such uses, we believe that the City
is justified in applying fees based on reasonable average demand characteristics for the
appropriate categories of development. The fact that the initial user of the building may have
below average demand for certain services does not ensure that future users will have similarly
low demand.
February S, 2013 - Final 10- ej
187
City ofLa Ouinta — Development Impact Fee Studv
Imposition of Fees. Under Section 66001, when the City imposes establishes, increases, or
imposes a mitigation fee it must make findings relative to items 1-3b, below. When imposing
such a fee on a specific project, the City must also make a finding relative to item 3c.
Identify the purpose of the fee
2. Identify the use of the fee; and
3. Determine that there is reasonable relationship between:
a. The use of the fee and the development type on which it is imposed;
b. The need for the facility and the type of development on which the fee is
imposed and;
C. The amount of the fee and the facility cost attributable to the development
project.
Most of those findings would normally be based on the impact fee study, and this study is
intended to provide a basis for all of the required findings. According to the statute, the use of the
fee may be specified in a capital improvement plan, the General Plan, or other public document.
This study is intended to be used as the public document to satisfy that requirement.
In addition, Section 66006, as amended by SB 1693, provides that a local agency, at the time it
imposes a fee for public improvements on a specific development project. "... Shall identify the
public improvement that the fee will be used to finance." For each type of fee calculated in this
report, the specific improvements to be funded by the impact fees are identified. Consequently,
this report provides a basis for the notification required by the statute.
Collection of Fees. Section 66007, provides that a local agency shall not require payment fees for
residential development prior to the date of final inspection, or issuance of a certificate of
occupancy, whichever occurs first. However, "utility service fees" (not defined) may be collected
upon application for utility service. In a residential development project of more than one
dwelling unit, the agency may choose to collect fees either for individual units or for phases upon
final inspection, of the first dwelling unit completed.
An important exception allows fees to be collected at an earlier time if they will be used to
reimburse the agency for expenditures previously made, or for improvements or facilities for
which money has been appropriated. The agency must also have adopted a construction schedule
or plan for the improvement. These restrictions do not apply to nonresidential development.
Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions, many cities routinely collect impact fees for all
facilities at the time building/grading permits are issued, and builders often find it convenient to
pay the fees at that time. In cases where the fees are not collected upon issuance of building
permits, or upon issuance of grading permits for golf courses, Section 66007 provides that the
city may require the property owner to execute a contract to pay the fee, and to record that the
contract as a lien against the property until the fees are paid.

City ofLa Ouinta — Development Impact Fee Study
Credit for Improvements provided by Developers. If the City requires a developer, as a
condition of project approval, to construct facilities or improvements for which impact fees have
been, or will be, charged to that project, the impact fee imposed on that development project for
that type of facility should be adjusted to reflect a credit for the cost of those facilities or
improvements. If the credit should exceed amount of the fee imposed on the development for that
type of facility, the City may choose to negotiate a reimbursement agreement with the developer
under which the excess credit would be repaid from future impact fees charged to other
developers for the same type of facility.
Credit for existing Development. If a project involves replacement, redevelopment or
intensification of previously existing development, impact fees should be applied only to the
portion of the project which represents an increase in demand for City facilities, as measured by
the demand variables used in this study. Since residential service demand is normally estimated
on the basis of demand per dwelling unit, an addition to a single family dwelling unit typically
would not be subject to an impact fee if it does not increase the number of dwelling units in the
structure. If a dwelling unit is added to an existing structure, no impact fee would be charged for
the previously existing units. A similar approach can be used for other types of development.
Earmarking of Fee Revenue. Section 66006 specifies that fees shall be deposited with other fees
for the improvement in a separate capital facility's account or fund in a manner to avoid any
comrningbrig of the fees with other revenues and funds of the local agency, except for temporary
investments. Fees must be expended solely for the purpose for which the fee was collected.
Interest earned on fee revenues must also be placed in the capital account and used for the same
purpose. We recommend that fees be deposited in accounts established for each type of facility
addressed in this report.
Loans to the DIF Program. hi order to accelerate the construction of projects set forth in the
Development Impact Fee Program it may be necessary to loan funds from other City funds to
supplement anticipated DIF revenue shortfalls in the early years of the program.
These loans will be paid back to the City as Development Impact Fees become available. Interest
on these loans may be charged at a rate based upon the quarterly average interest rate, or the
City's investment fund rate earned by the City's investment pool.
Reporting. As amended by SB 1693 in 1996, Section 66006 requires that once each year, within
180 days of the close of the fiscal year, the local agency must make available to the public the
following information for each separate account established to receive impact fee revenues:
The amount of the fee
The beginning and ending balance of the account or fund
The amount of fees collected and interest earned
Identification of each public improvement on which fees were expanded and the amount
of the expenditures of each improvement, including the percentage of the cost of the
public improvement that was funded with fees

City ofLa Ouinta — Development Impact Fee Study
Identification of the approximate date by which the construction of the public
improvement will commence if the City determines sufficient funds have been collected
to complete financing of an incomplete public improvement
A description of each inter fund transfer or loan made from the account or fund, including
interest rates, repayment dates, and a description of the improvement on which the
transfer or loan will be expanded
The amount of any refunds or allocations made pursuant to Section 66001, paragraphs (e)
and (f)
That information must be reviewed by the City Council at its next regularly scheduled public
meeting, but not less than 15 days after the statement is made public.
Findings and Refunds. Prior to the adoption of amendments contained in SB 1693, a local
agency collecting impact fees were required to expend or commit the fee revenue within five
years, or make findings to justify a continued need for money. Otherwise, those funds had to be
refunded. SB 1693 changed that requirement in material ways.
Now, Section 66001 requires that, for the fifth fiscal year following the first deposit of any impact
fee revenue into an account or fund as required by Section 66006, and every five years thereafter,
the local agency shall make all of the following findings for any fee revenue that remains
unexpended, whether committed or uncommitted:
• Identify the purpose to which the fee will be put
• Demonstrate the reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is
charged
• Identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing of
incomplete improvements for which impact fees are to be used.
• Designate the appropriate dates on which the funding necessary to complete financing of
those improvements will be deposited into the appropriate account or fund.
Those findings are to be made in conjunction with the annual reports discussed above. If such
findings are not made as required by Section 66001, the local agency must refund the moneys in
the account or fund.
Once the agency determined that sufficient funds have been collected to complete an incomplete
improvement for which impact fee revenue is to be used, it must, within 180 days of that
determination, identify an approximate date by which construction of the public improvement
will be commenced. If the agency fails to comply with that requirement, it must refund impact fee
revenue in the account according to the procedures specified in the statute.

City ofLa Ouinta — Development Impact Fee Study
Cost of Implementation. The ongoing cost of implementing the impact fee program is not
included in the fees themselves. Implementation costs would include the staff time involved in
applying the fees to specific projects, accounting for fee revenues and expenditures, preparing
required annual reports, updating fees, and preparing forms and public information handouts. We
recommend that those costs be included in user fees charged to applicants for processing
development applications.
Annual Update of Capital Improvement Plan. Section 66002 provides that if a local agency
adopts a capital improvement plan to identify the use of impact fees that the plan must be adopted
and annually updated by a resolution of the governing body at a noticed public hearing. The
alternative is to identify improvements in other public documents. Since impact fee calculations
in this study include cost for future facilities not covered by the City's CIP, we recommend that
this report serve as the public document in which the use of impact fees is identified. If that
practice is followed, we believe the City would not be required to update its CIP annually to
satisfy Section 66002.
Annual Update of Impact Fees Rates. The fees recommended in this report are stated in current
dollars, and the fees should be adjusted annually to account for construction cost escalation. The
Engineering News Record Los Angeles Building Cost Index is recommended as the basis for
indexing the cost of yet to be constructed projects. It is desirable that the ordinance or resolution
establishing the fees include provisions for annual escalation.
C. TRAINING AND PUBLIC INFORMATION
Administering an impact fee program effectively requires considerable preparation and training.
It is important that those responsible for applying and collecting the fees, and for explaining them
to the public, understand both the details of the fee program and its supporting rationale. We
recommend that one employee be designated as the coordinator for the impact fee program, and
be made responsible for training all staff who are involved in fee -related activities. Before fees
are imposed, a staff training workshop is highly desirable if more than a handful of employees
will be involved in the collecting or accounting for fees.
It is also useful to give close attention to handouts which provide information to the public
regarding impact fees. Impact fees should be clearly distinguished from user fees, such as
application and plan review fees, and the purpose and use of the fees should be made clear.
Finally, everyone who is responsible for capital budgeting and project management must be fully
aware of the restrictions placed on the expenditure of impact fee revenues. The fees
recommended in this report are tied to specific project lists and related to cost estimates. Fees
must be expended accordingly and the City must be able to show that funds have been properly
expended.

APPENDIX-2
BASIS FOR NUMBER OF TRIPS GENERATED
The trip generation rates used in this Study were taken from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (TTE)
Manual "Trip Generation." The eighth edition was used as the primary. Peak hour trips are identifies in the
manual in a number of different modes. One mode is known as the average daily trip (ADT) in which each type
of land use generated an average daily amount of trips in a 24-hour period. Another mode is peak hour trips in
which analysis has been completed for the morning peak hours (P.M. Peak) hours (A.M. Peak) which are 7:00
a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and the evening peak hours (P.M. Peak) which are 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p. in. A complete analysis
indicated that the maximum load of traffic occurs during the P.M. peak hours. For this reason the trip generation
rates for the P.M. peak hour were utilized so a nexus could be established based on the time of the highest load
on the City's circulation system.
In order to provide a more accurate nexus, average trip lengths for each type of land use was utilized in the
calculation. The best available information on average trip lengths by land use types is published by the Sand
Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) in its publication "Vehicular Traffic Generation Rates for the
San Diego Region" Although the trip lengths presented in that publication do not apply specifically to La
Quinta; it is believed they reasonably represent trip lengths for various types of development.
CVAG has completed trip lengths on the regional facilities; however, they indicate the trip lengths on the
regional facility equate to an approximate 1:1 proportionality between residential use and commercial use.
Although this may be accurate for the traffic trip lengths on the regional system a City system with its local
street network reacts in a different way. The basis of City development usually includes separate core "village"
areas with different levels of commercial to support each separate village.
The study completed by SANDAG was established by surveying 1,700 commuters to determine their
destination and average trip length. This provided a proportional trip length of commercial to residential at
approximately one mile for commercial every 1.975 miles for residential (1:1.975). The CVAG trip length study
indicated a one mile commercial to one mile residential ration (1:1)
In order to estimate the ratio for trip lengths in the City of La Quints's City map was prepared with one mile
radius permeating out from the intersection of Washington Street and Highway 111 as the origin. The percent of
development remaining was identified in each one mile radius circle radiating out from the origin. Trip lengths
for each destination were then scaled. These include destinations of leaving town, food shopping, and trips to
school, and across town trips. The estimate for the ratio in La Quints, was one mile for commercial for every
1.667 miles for residential (1:1.667). These numbers are closer to SANDAG calculations. Therefore, the
published SANDAG numbers were utilized for average trip lengths.

APPENDIX-3
COUNTY ROAD CONVERSION TO URBAN ARTERIAL
Former county -owned roads, that were designed and constructed to a county road standard, are
sufficient to continue functioning as designed if the land use served remains unchanged, but the
existing roads typically lack key design attributes to accommodate simplistic conversion to an urban
arterial street by just adding a new lane to the existing pavement and installing curbs to redirect
drainage flow. Specifically, higher intensity land uses increase the number of trucks using the
roadway (ie a higher Traffic Index). As a result, urban arterial streets must have a sturdier structural
section than the existing structural section encountered on county roads serving low intensity land
uses. Often, the structural section can be augmented and bolstered by simply overlaying the existing
pavement with additional asphalt paving.
The other key design attribute that must be addressed is the flowline gradient in the gutter. County
road design procedure disregards the flowline gradient aspect because the county road standard
does not include a curb that contains drainage flow in the street to convey it to a relocated discharge
point. Instead, the county road standard simply has a centerline profile and a crowned pavement
cross section that sheds storm water falling on the pavement to the side of the road. Thus when
curbs and gutters are added to make the street function like an urban street, the flowline gradient
becomes a critical design aspect that cannot be ignored. La Quinta has 0.5% as its standard
minimum allowable flowline gradient in the gutter. The minimum standard applies to former county
roads that are converted to urban arterial streets, as well as new onsite local roads, unless waived by
the City Engineer in writing with substantive reason. In order to implement the required flowline
gradient, the centerline profile must be revised. The latter aspect typically requires the roadway to be
reconstructed wherever the existing centerline profile is less than 0.5%.

ITEM TITLE: Ordinance to Amend the La. Quinta CONSENT CALENDAR:
Municipal Code Chapter 3.33, Transportation Uniform
MSTUDY SESSION:
Mitigation Fee
PUBLIC HEARING.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
I -
Move to take up Ordinance No. approving Chapter 3.33 of the La Quinta
Municipal Code pertaining to the collection of the Transportation Uniform Mitigation
Fees, by title and number only and waive further reading; and move to introduce
Ordinance No. adding Chapter 3.33 to the La Quinta Municipal Code as set
forth in said ordinance, on first reading;
Adopt Resolution No. 2013- , A Resolution of the City Council of the City of
La Quinta, California, Setting the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Amount
Pursuant to Ordinance No. ; and
Approve an Agreement Between the Coachella Valley Association of Governments
and the City of La Quinta for Establishment of the Transportation Uniform
Mitigation Fee Program.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
• The City of La Quinta has not been part of the Coachella Valley Association
of Governments ("CVAG") Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program
("TUMF"). In 2012, the City initiated the process to join TUMF in order to
receive its local share of the Measure "A" one-half cent sales tax funds
(Measure "A" Funds).
220
• The recommended actions will facilitate the City's entry into TUMF. The
City will then receive Measure "A" Funds which will be pledged to annual
street maintenance.
• Per the CVAG/City Agreement (Attachment 1), the City and CVAG will
allocate 50% of its local share of Measure "A" funds to the City for annual
street maintenance and 50% to CVAG to repay CVAG to fund the TUMF
fees that CVAG would have received if the City participated in the TUMF
program since its inception. This amount is $5.5 million. Once the TUMF
shortfall is repaid (projected to be in about 10 years), the City will receive
100% of its local share of Measure "A" funds.
• As a member of TUMF, the City must annually prepare and submit a five
year Capital Improvement Plan to the Riverside County Transportation
Commission (RCTC) detailing the expected uses of the sales tax funding, and
annually certifying that its discretionary General Fund expenditures for
transportation -related construction and maintenance activities meet or
exceed the Maintenance of Effort (MOE) base year amount.
• The City's Development Impact Fee (DIF) collected for transportation
purposes has been updated and assumes the City will become a TUMF
collecting member of CVAG in 2013.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will receive 50% of its local share ($1.2 million) until the TUMF shortfall,
estimated at $5.5 million, is paid. The City must pay interest on the TUMF
shortfall, which will accrue at the rate of the Local Agency Investment Fund as
determined on July 1" of each year. If the City adopts the TUMF Ordinance and
associated documents in February 2013, the TUMF will become effective on or
about April 22, 2013 and the City would begin receiving sales tax funds by August
2013. Once in TUMF and until the conclusion of the program in 2039, the City
will be required to spend $937,007 per year of its discretionary funds on road
improvements or road maintenance in order to receive its Measure "A" funds. The
Measure "A" funds will be available to fund transportation related expenditures
above and beyond the base expenditures of $937,007 per year. Once the TUMF
shortfall is repaid (anticipated to occur in 2023), the City will then receive 100% of
the City's share of Measure "A" funds for 16 years.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
TUMF was established in 1988 to provide funding for regional transportation
improvements in the Coachella Valley. These improvements are funded through a
combination of development impact fees and Measure "A" sales tax revenue. In
221
the past, while the City was building its road system and retail sector, it received
more money from transportation impact fees than it would have otherwise received
by joining TUMF and collecting the Measure "A" funds. Additionally, the City's
Transportation DIF program was implemented to fund both local and regional street
improvement projects and accelerated regional programs, which directly benefitted
the City that may not have otherwise been funded by CVAG due to those projects
having a low priority in the regional program. Since TUMF was established, the
City has not received $15,535,312 in Measure "A" funds.
As part of the Fiscal Year 2011/12 budget process, staff evaluated the pros and
cons of joining the TUMF program. Now that the City has a variety of strong sales
tax producing enterprises, it makes financial sense for the City to join TUMF in
order to receive Measure "A" funds for local transportation related improvements.
By joining TUMF, the City will receive approximately $1.2 million per year in sales
tax revenue. Not all of this revenue would be paid to the City. Fifty percent of this
annual revenue would be retained by CVAG to reimburse CVAG for TUMF fees
CVAG would have received from the City of La Quinta if the City would have
joined TUMF when this program was established.
The Measure "A" funds can be used for any transportation related construction and
maintenance activities which are currently funded through State gas tax revenue.
The City currently collects DIF's for a variety of public facilities, including:
transportation improvements, parks and recreation facilities, civic center, library,
community center, maintenance facilities, and fire facilities. However, several
cities within the Coachella Valley collect local impact fees along with the regional
TUMF. Attachment 2 is a table comparing the overall DIF's collected by each of
these jurisdictions and compares them to what the City would collect, if the TUMF
were implemented.
'On July 31, 2006, the CVAG Executive Committee approved the 2006 Fee
Schedule Update, Nexus Study Report ("2006 Nexus Study") which established
updated TUMF Levels and program revenue collections targets. This document
accurately states the City's need to collect the TUMF fees along with the other
participating jurisdictions within the Coachella Valley as requested by the CVAG
General Assembly. It also establishes the reasonable relationship between the
impacts of the future trips and the amount of the fee. The 2006 Nexus Study is
available at the Public Works counter for review.
The Measure "A" legislation directly links a local agency's receipt of the half cent
of sales tax to that agency's participation in the TUMF. The Program requires that
local agencies charge the fee to new development. If an agency chooses not to
collect the regional TUMF on local development projects, the agency is not eligible
222
to receive its proportionate share of the half cent sales tax revenues set aside for
local streets and roads under Measure "A."
In order for the City to join TUMF, the City must take the following actions:
1. Adopt the TUMF Ordinance, to be effective on or about April 22, 2013.
The TUMF Ordinance amends the City's Municipal Code to include a
Chapter pertaining to the collection of the TUMF, and among other things,
adopts the 2006 Nexus Study prepared by CVAG, establishes the purpose
and need for the fee, and provides for an appeal process.
2. Adopt a resolution setting the TUMF amount pursuant to the TUMF
Ordinance. The fee -setting resolution establishes the average daily trip fees
that are applied to sales tax producing development, other, non-residential
development, and residential development, and adopts the Coachella Valley
TUMF Handbook, dated July 1, 2009, which provides the fee calculation for
each land use type. The TUMF Handbook is also available at the Public
Works public counter for review. The resolution also establishes the TUMF
effective date and provides for future amendments by CVAG.
3. Enter into an agreement with CVAG which establishes the terms and
conditions in which the City will be allowed to become a TUMF collecting
participant and be eligible to receive its local share of the sales tax revenues.
4. The voter approved Measure "A" Ordinance requires compliance with the
MOE certification requirements established by RCTC. This requires that local
agencies continue to expend the same amount for construction and
maintenance of local streets and roads as expended in the past, prior to the
new sales tax.
The MOE base year calculation is based on the discretionary General Fund
expenditures for transportation related construction and maintenance activities that
occurred during Fiscal Year 2009/2010. The City's MOE base year amount is
$937,007. If the City fails to meet this discretionary General Fund base year
expenditure, its local share of the Measure "A" funds can be held up or forfeited
for the next year. If the City expends discretionary General Funds in excess of the
MOE base year level, the City will be allowed to apply the excess funds in a future
year to offset the amount the local agency may need to meet the MOE
requirement.
Finally, should the City Council implement the TUMF, staff recommends that
Council also adopt an updated Transportation DIF to ensure that developers are not
overpaying for improvements. The DIF and the TUMF proposals have been
reviewed by the Desert Valley Builders Association and other stakeholders. All
223
stakeholder feedback has been satisfactorily addressed. Public notice requirements
were met for this public hearing. It was published in The Desert Sun newspaper on
January 23 and January 30, 2013. Any written comments received will be
distributed to the City Council during the public hearing.
ALTERNATIVES:
An alternative to the recommended action is to continue to not participate in
TUMF. Doing so would not allow the City to receive Measure "A" funds and would
reduce the funding available for transportation related improvements. While TUMF
membership does increase the development impact fees, all of the adjoining cities
and the County participate in TUMF. Staff does not believe that this additional fee
cost would place the City at a disadvantage.
CHARTER CITY IMPLICATIONS
If the City Council adopts the TUMF Program, the City will begin receiving its
proportionate share of the Measure "A" one-half cent sales tax. Because the sales
tax is collected county wide, it is considered regional in nature and projects funded
through it are subject to prevailing wage requirements. Prevailing wages are
required for other transportation infrastructure projects where local funds are mixed
with other non -local funds.

RESOLUTION NO. 2013-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, SETTING THE
TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE
AMOUNT PURSUANT TO ORDINANCE NO.
WHEREAS, the City Council, of the City of La Quinta, California by
Ordinance No. established a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee based
on certain findings including but not limited to the following:
(1) Future development within the City of La Quinta and within the Coachella
Valley to the year 2030 will result in traffic volumes in excess of capacity thereby
adversely impacting the regional system of streets, arterials and highways now
existing;
(2) Failure to expand the capacity of the existing circulation system will cause
unacceptable levels of congestion on the streets, arterials, and highways of the
regional system;
(3) Absent a uniform mitigation transportation fee imposing a fair -share traffic
impact fee on new development, existing and future sources of revenue will be
inadequate to fund substantial portions of the Regional Transportation System
improvements needed to avoid unacceptable levels of congestion and related
adverse impacts;
(4) The Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee will raise the additional revenues
needed to construct the improvements to accommodate traffic that will be
generated by development of land within the City and within the Coachella Valley;
(5) The Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee is a fair and equitable method for
distributing the unfunded costs of transportation improvements necessary to
accommodate the traffic volumes generated by new development; and
WHEREAS, Section 3.33.050 of Ordinance No. requires that the
amount of the mitigation fee (1) shall be based on the trip generation rate defined
in CVAG's Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Handbook, a copy of which is on
file in the City's Public Works Department, (2) shall be established by the City and
(3) requires the City to adopt by resolution the fee as recommended by CVAG or a
higher fee amount; and
234-
Resolution No. 2013-
TUMF
Adopted: February 5, 2013
Page 2
WHEREAS, the City Council, in determining the amount of the mitigation fee,
desires to ensure that the fee is calculated by a fair and equitable method to
distribute the costs of the improvements necessary to accommodate traffic
volumes generated by future growth.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La
Quinta, California, as follows:
1. Findings. Each WHEREAS paragraph, set forth above, is hereby adopted as
a specific finding of this City Council. The City Council further finds that:
a. The report entitled "2006 Fee Schedule Update, Nexus Study Report"
dated June 27, 2006 ("2006 Nexus Study") to establish updated TUMF Levels and
program revenue collections target, which was approved by the CVAG Executive
Committee on July 31, 2006, accurately states the City's need to collect the
TUMF fees along with the other participating jurisdictions within the Coachella
Valley as requested by the CVAG General Assembly. The 2006 Nexus Study is
hereby approved and incorporated herein by this reference.
b. Based on the above findings, the La Quinta City Council adopts this
resolution setting the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee amount and sets forth
that amount as follows:
$74.00 per average daily trip for sales tax producing commercial
$148.00 per average daily trip for all other non-residential development
$192.00 per average daily trip for all residential development
c. The amount of the mitigation fee shall be based on the trip generation rate
defined in CVAG's Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Handbook, a copy of
which is on file in the City's Public Works Department. The Transportation Uniform
Mitigation Fee Handbook, effective July 1, 2009 is hereby approved and
incorporated herein by this reference.
2. Effective Date. This Resolution will become effective concurrent with
Ordinance No. , on the day of , 2013.
3. Amendments. The Council shall, pursuant to Ordinance No. , annually
review and if necessary, may amend the amount of the Transportation Uniform
Mitigation Fee to ensure that the fee continues to be a fair and equitable method to
distribute the costs of the improvements necessary to accommodate traffic
volumes generated by future growth. If CVAG amends the recommended amount
of the fee pursuant to its annual review, the Council shall amend this resolution in
accordance with CVAG's recommended amended fee amount.

ATTACHMENT
AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE COACHELLA VALLEY ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS AND
THE CITY OF LA QUINTA FOR
ESTABLISHMENT OF TUMF PROGRAM
This Agreement is made and entered into on , 20 between the
Coachella Valley Association of Governments ("CVAG") and the City of La Quinta ("City').
Each of the parties to this agreement is a governmental entity empowered to enter into an
Agreement of this type. This Agreement is made in reference to the following facts and
circumstances.
RECITALS
On or about June 26, 1989, the City, in conjunction with other jurisdictions in the
Coachella Valley, entered into an Implementation Agreement, authorizing CVAG to
manage and administer the Regional Transportation Program for the Coachella Valley;
On or about February 2, 2010, the City, in conjunction with those same jurisdictions in
the Coachella Valley, extended the Implementation Agreement authorizing CVAG to continue
to manage and administer the Regional Transportation Program for the Coachella Valley
through calendar year 2038;
Pursuant to the terms of the Implementation Agreement and as a condition to the
receipt of its share of the local portion of Measure "A" funds, each city was required to
adopt and maintain a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee ("TUMF") to be administered by
CVAG under the terms of the Implementation Agreement;
The City had never adopted nor maintained a TUMF program, thereby forfeiting its
share of the local portion of Measure "A";
The City now desires to establish the TUMF program within its jurisdiction so as
to become eligible to receive its share of the local portion of Measure "A" funds;
follows:
Now, therefore, in consideration of the following, the parties hereto do establish as
1
237
1.0 ESTABLISHMENT OF TUMF
1.1 City shall adopt the Model TUMF Ordinance, to be effective on or about April 22, 2013,
or as soon thereafter as notice requirements may permit, and thereafter collect all
TUMF provided therefor consistent with the Ordinance, Implementation Agreement
and all applicable CVAG policies.
1.2 City and CVAG agree that the estimated TUMF, plus shortfalls, discrepancies and
interest due to CVAG as calculated through June 30, 2012 is $5,528,997 (collectively
the estimated "TUMF Shortfall"). City and CVAG agree the "TUMF Shortfall" will be
recalculated as of the date the TUMF is in full effect at the City of La Quinta and
payment of the recalculated "TUMF Shortfall" amount will be a condition of allowing
City to become established in the TUMF Program.
1.3 Interest on the TUMF Shortfall shall accrue at the rate for the Local Agency
Investment Fund ("LAIF"), as determined on July Vt of each year. Said interest shall
accrue on the balance of the unpaid TUMF Shortfall until the entire amount due,
including interest, is fully paid.
1.4 City agrees that CVAG shall apply fifty percent (50%) of City's share of local Measure
"A" funds toward the TUMF Shortfall, including interest accruing thereon, until such
time as all such sums have been paid in full. At the City's option, the City may choose
at some point to pay the outstanding TUMF Shortfall in a lump sum and thereby avoid
the requirement to pay interest on the outstanding amount.
1.5 Until such time as the TUMF Shortfall, including interest thereon, is repaid by
the City to the TUMF program, CVAG shall retain 50% of the City's share of the
local portion of Measure "A" funds, apply the retained monies toward the sums owing
hereunder, and forward to the City only the remaining 50% of the City's share
of local Measure "A" funds.
1.6 City agrees to collect and transmit to CVAG all TUMF assessed in accordance with the
terms of the Implementation Agreement, the adopted Model TUMF ordinance, and
applicable CVAG policy.
1.7 City agrees to allow an annual audit of its TUMF program as required in the case
of all cities participating in the TUMF program. Upon successful and continued
compliance with the terms of this Agreement, City shall be entitled to participate in the
2
238
TUMF program in accordance with the terms of the adopted TUMF Ordinance, the
Implementation Agreement and all applicable CVAG policies.
1.8 CVAG shall provide City with a monthly accounting of local Measure "A" funds
applied to the amount due CVAG from the City pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
2.0 PERIOD OF AGREEMENT
2.1 This Agreement shall continue in effect until such time as the City has repaid the
entire TUMF Shortfall, together with interest accruing thereon, as set forth above.
3.0 CONFLICTING PROVISIONS
3.1 In the event that provisions of any exhibit conflict in any way with the provisions set
forth in this Agreement, the language, terms and conditions contained in this
Agreement shall control the actions and obligations of the parties and the
interpretation of the parties' understanding concerning the performance of the
services.
4.0. AMENDMENT
4.1. In the event that the parties determine that the provisions of this Agreement
should be altered, the parties shall execute a contract amendment to add any
provision to this Agreement, or delete or amend any provision of this Agreement.
