Search Print No Frames ATTACHMENT 4 A. Purpose. The city council finds that bed and breakfast facilities constitute small commercial lodging facilities in residential districts. This requires special regulations that are not normally covered by standards for motels and hotels. B. Definitions. For the purposes of this section, the following definitions shall apply: 1. `Bed and breakfast" means a residential dwelling occupied by a resident, person, or family, containing individual living quarters occupied for a transient basis for compensation and in which a breakfast may be provided to guests. The breakfast provided shall not constitute a restaurant operation and may not be provided to persons other than guests of the inn. 2. "Transient" means boarding or lodging shall be limited to a maximum of fourteen nights per visit. C. Limits on Occupancy. 1. The bed and breakfast shall be conducted only by a person owning the dwelling and residing therein as their principal place of residence. The use permit shall be voided upon the sale or transfer of the property ownership. 2. The bed and breakfast shall accommodate a maximum of eight guests in four rooms. D. Where Permitted. Bed and breakfast are permitted subject to approval of a conditional use permit only in residential zoning districts. E. Development Standards. 1. Individual units shall not contain cooking facilities. 2. Parking shall be provided on -site, in accordance with Chapter 9.150, Parking. 3. No change in the outside structure is permitted and any change inside must be convertible to the original residential use. A minimum of one hundred square feet is required for each of the sleeping rooms and not more than twenty-five percent of the structure can be used for rental. 4. Landscaping may be required to screen parking areas from the view of adjacent properties and from public/private streets. 5. Locating another bed and breakfast use within three hundred feet is prohibited. 6. Signs shall not exceed two square feet attached to the house. F. Required Finding. In addition to the requirements for findings of fact as established by California law or other provisions of this code, the approval of a conditional use permit for a bed and breakfast shall require the following additional findings: 1. The property is physically suitable for use as a bed and breakfast facility; 2. The use of the property as a bed and breakfast will not cause an undue burden on adjacent and nearby property owners. G. Transient Occupancy Tax. Bed and breakfast facilities shall be subject to all applicable provisions of Chapter 3.24 of the municipal code.

The application is set for public hearing before the Planning Commission on February 25, 2014, at 7:00 pm. I am legal counsel for the owner of 78-715 Avenida Torres — the property immediately East of the subject property. We, like the neighborhood as a whole, are strongly opposed to this business application and request the Planning Commission DENY the application in full. It is important to note that, despite not having the appropriate permits, the owners are already operating the bed and breakfast from the home. The owners maintain an active website for the bed and breakfast, where one can book overnight reservations. The applicants are currently in breach of City regulations. Please compel the owners to cease and desist. The proposed business conversion to a "small commercial lodging facility" is out of character for the neighborhood, serves no value to the community, but instead would be severely disruptive and harmful to the neighborhood. It would result in the commercialization of this residential neighborhood. La Quinta City Council Jay Wuu, Community Development Department February 18, 2014 Page 2 This home is in a family neighborhood, with young children frequently playing in the quiet streets. Indeed, it was this family makeup, and walking distance to multiple elementary schools, that attracted us to the neighborhood — and sustains the property values in the neighborhood. The neighborhood is also architecturally young. It is zoned RL and comprised purely of low density single family homes, primarily constructed in the late 1990s. This is an important point because the home at issue — 78-705 Avenida Torres — is not what you would traditionally envision as a Bed and Breakfast facility. It is a standard issue, 1999 construction, without any historical or architectural significance that would draw customers. Moreover, there is no shortage of available and respectable hotels in the commercial zones of the City. There is absolutely no value to adding this home as an alternative commercial lodging facility. Rather, the only draw for clients at this house would be "bargain hunters" looking for a discrete or low cost alternative to area hotels and motels. This would be severely detrimental to the safety, character, and quality of the neighborhood. There is no doubt that the introduction of a commercial lodging facility, with all of the "comings and goings" associated with the constant flow of transient visitors to our family neighborhood, will undeniably increase local crime. The lack of through streets mean this area is not easily accessible for regular police patrols. The additional security needs posed by a commercial lodging facility would only further tax an already overburdened police force. Similarly, the parking is inadequate. Municipal Code Section 9.150.060 requires "One space per guest room plus parking for residents as required by this code" (emphasis added). The home is designed for single family garage parking. The home site does not allow for proper off- street business parking, screened or otherwise. Nor can it be configured to provide the requisite screening from the neighborhood. Section 9.60.280(E)(4) states that landscaping "may be required to screen parking areas from the view of adjacent properties and from public/private streets." However, the front of this house is almost entirely paved to the curb. There is simply no method to mask the constant in -and -out business traffic of motel guests. The owners of 78-705 Avenida Torres only purchased the home in August 30, 2013. In contrast to the remainder of the neighborhood (many original owners), it is entirely inappropriate for new owners — with no roots or relationship to the neighborhood — to immediately and fundamentally change the character and nature of the neighborhood. These owners have already demonstrated a cavalier disregard for zoning regulations, and cannot be trusted to comply with future restrictions on usage. There is no showing of loyalty to the neighborhood, or fidelity to the City's zoning laws. As revealed by public records, this property was purchased for the specific purpose of operating it as a bed and breakfast, and appears to have already been operated as a Bed and Breakfast since September 2013 (i.e., within one month of the new owners' purchase). In this regard, one of the owners and applicants, Leah Swarthout, established Bella Cristia, LLC (California Entity # 201326410221) La Quinta City Council Jay Wuu, Community Development Department February 18, 2014 Page 3 at the address on September 18, 2013, officially identified in state filings as a "Bed and Breakfast" company. In addition to the fully operational reservation website noted above, the owners also held a "grand opening" open house for the Bed and Breakfast business on New Years. Therefore, CUP Application #2013-155 must be denied under La Quinta Municipal Code Section 9.210.020(F), because: (1) The proposed business use is inconsistent with the general plan; (2) The use is inconsistent with the provisions of the zoning code; and (3) Approval of the application will create conditions materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare or injurious to or incompatible with other properties or land uses in the vicinity. CUP Application #2013-155 must also be denied under La Quinta Municipal Code Section 9.60.280(F), because: (1) The use of the property as a bed and breakfast will cause an undue burden on adjacent and nearby property owners; and (2) The property is not physically suitable for use as a bed and breakfast facility. In conclusion, the City established zoning restrictions for a purpose — and should adhere to those standards absent a compelling need for variance. Not only does application #2013-155 lack any such showing, the proposed conversion is actually detrimental to the community. Use of this property as a transient Bed and Breakfast is grossly inappropriate and out of line with the purely residential character of the area, and serves no benefit and fulfills no need of the broader La Quinta community. As such, it should not be permitted. Very truly yours, John W.

We have been provided with copies of JCM Farming's February 18 and 24, 2014 letters aadressed to the (' v Council in - -- tlon to the Swarthouts' application for a CUP. There are numerous inaccuracies and falsehoods that we respectfully refute. Mr. Melvin, the attorney for JCM, accuses the Swarthouts of violating the law by alleging that their home "have [sic] already been operated as a Bed and Breakfast since September 2013...: ' (February 18, 2014 letter). This is untrue. The Swarthouts have invested their life savings into this dream of opening a small B&B. Our firm formed the LLC on their behalf in September, 2013 as they were investing in this business by buying the property and performing interior work in the hopes of obtaining the CUP. They have opened a website and have their first reservations for March, 2014, again, hoping for approval. Their home has not opened as a B&B. The Swarthouts physically moved into the property in November of 2013. They threw a lovely New Year's eve party for friends to show off their new home and new proposed venture. They have done nothing improper, illegal or unethical. The City's Code and the proposed conditions require the Swarthouts to reside at the property as their principal residence. They sold their La Quinta home and moved into the current property as their primary residence. They have been La Quinta residents since at least 1999. City of La Quinta Planning Commission February 25, 2014 Page 2 They are both long term residents of the Coachella Valley and are committed to being good neighbors. They own this home and live there full time. This is their dream. They do not want to, or anticipate lowering property values. Just the opposite, they intend to enhance the quality and value of this property, and be an asset to the community. They will be and are good neighbors. JCM Farming owns the property located at 78-715 Avenida La Torres, which is next to the Swarthouts' home. JCM has leased this home and there are tenants residing there currently. JCM Farming is the company that filed the infamous balloon lawsuit trying to prevent balloon operators from flying over a secretive compound they also own in the Coachella Valley. JCM dismissed that lawsuit. JCM apparently has encouraged neighbors and others to sign identical form letters they must have. prepared, objecting to the Swarthouts' CUP application. Those letters have been submitted to the Planning Commission. Yesterday, I tried to reach several of those neighbors and spoke with Kristen Wright of 78-735 Calle Tampico. I told Ms. Wright that I represent the applicants, and asked if there were any issues we could perhaps discuss and resolve. I asked her why she signed a letter that states that this business would "increase crime and decrease property values." She told me that she did not carefully read the letter, and that a friend of hers has been soliciting signatures and asked her to sign it. Kristen told me that she was being supportive of her friend, as she does not even live on the street where the Swarthouts live. She declined to let me know the name of her friend, but I asked Kristen to give her friend my number to call so I could discuss any concerns. I have not been contacted. We were also provided with copies of Requests To Speak forms from Tatum Everhart and John Melvin in opposition to the application. Both speakers represent that their address is 78-715 Avenida La Torres. However, Ms. Everhart and Mr. Melvin do not reside at that address. The telephone number they list is a Carlsbad phone number used by JCM and which is evident on JCM's letters. Ms. Everhart and Mr. Melvin are both attorneys, and according to the State Bar website, work for Equity Ag Financial, which apparently uses the same Carlsbad address as JCM. Mr. Melvin also lists a Solano Beach work address. Copies of the State Bar printouts for both attorneys are attached. We obviously have no issue with anyone presenting any documents to the Planning Commission or speaking at a public hearing. However, we are concerned that the forms submitted -by Ms. Everhart and Mr. Melvin give the impression that they are neighbors rather than paid advocates for their client. I intent to address the Commission as well, and will clearly state my role as the Swarthouts' legal counsel and friend. City of La Quinta Planning Commission February 25, 2014 Page 3 JCM also accuses the Swarthouts' application as violating the Municipal Code. This is untrue. The structure complies with the Code. There is no proof that the proposed business will have any "undue burden on adjacent or nearby property owners." We believe that there is no legal impediment to granting the application. I once heard an expression defining fear as "the projection of a bad result before it happens." We believe the people solicited to sign the form, and perhaps speak, are basing their concerns on fear and not reality. There is no factual basis to claim that there is or will be any undue burden, or that there will be an increase in crime, noise or traffic. The Planning Commission is reserving the right, along with the City Council, to modify or revoke the CUP at any time should: "they determine that the proposed use or conditions under which it is being operated or maintained is detrimental to the public health, welfare, or materially injurious to property, or improvements in the vicinity, or if the property is operated or maintained, so as to constitute a public nuisance." If there is a problem, the Swarthouts want to know and address it. The CUP, if granted, requires the Swarthouts to reside at the property as their principal residence, and should they sell or transfer the property, the CUP is automatically voided. Safeguards are in place to address any potential problems. None exist. We respectfully request that the CUP application be granted. Yours very truly, ROEMER & RNIK LLP 40- BRTAN S.

The entire Application was not made publicly available until Mr. Wuu emailed me a courtesy copy yesterday afternoon. Even then, there are no public documents reflecting that the Planning Commission waived the required traffic study, parking study, and noise study. Based on my review of the Application, there are three opposition points deserving additional emphasis. First, the applicants have already demonstrated a complete disregard for zoning laws, and cannot be trusted to adhere to whatever restrictions may be placed on the permit. As previously noted, the Applicants have been operating a website for "Bella Cristia" — the proposed Bed and Breakfast — without a permit for operation. Excerpts from the website are attached to this letter at Exhibit A. Such operation of a Bed and Breakfast without a permit demonstrates a flagrant disregard for zoning law, and is ipso facto grounds for denial of the permit application. However, it does provide proof of two other violations, each of which is independent grounds for a mandatory denial of CUP 2013-155. La Quinta City Council Jay Wuu February 25, 2014 Page 2 of 3 Second, the applicants lied on the application in order to understate the proportion of the home intended to be used as the Bed and Breakfast. In reality, the proposed rental square footage overwhelmingly violates the 25% ceiling of Municipal Code § 9.60.280(E)(3). As Mr. Wuu advised, the 25% cap is calculated based on a comparison of the rental space with the total "conditioned" space of the structure. Mr. Wuu also confirmed that his review accepted the numbers as presented by the applicant, and did not independently certify the accuracy of those numbers. A reduced size copy of the proposed Site Plan is attached here at Exhibit B. The rental space is obviously in excess of the 25% limit. The entire livable space can be divided into three categories: the two rental sleeping rooms and baths; the great room and kitchen; and the resident's room and bath. The two rental sleeping rooms and bath are plainly in excess of the 25% limit — regardless of whatever numbers may have been falsely submitted by the applicant. They appear to be closer to 38% of the space. Moreover, the Bed and Breakfast purports to operate not just in the sleeping rooms, but also in the great room. After all, the commercial facility is advertised as a "Bed and Breakfast" — not a "Breakfast in Bed." This of course is confirmed in the website, which advertises the great room as part of the guest's accommodations (see Exhibit A). Third, the applicants have already deliberately breached the County's express directives to not use the pool for the business — because of clear health and safety concerns and regulations. In this regard, the County of Riverside Department of Environmental Health specifically prohibited the use of the pool as part of the bed and Breakfast: 1) The pool is not allowed for use. Must obtain separate clearances and approvals from this Department. See additional report page 2 for more information. A copy of the first page of the above report is attached at Exhibit C. Notably, the remainder of the report was not included with the Application, and thus the "more information" remains a mystery. However, the pool / spa is the centerpiece of the Bed and Breakfast advertising campaign (See Exhibit A): Relax and enjoy Bella Cristia! Sit beneath the pool's cascading waterfall La Quints City Council Jay Wuu February 25, 2014 Page 3 of 3 or take a dip in the spa. With Bella Cristia's many amenities you can be sure that your stay in the Gem of the Desert is unforgettable This makes sense — as the pool and spa are indisputably designed for entertaining (for example, it includes a swim up bar with underwater stools). Despite being illegal, the pool and spa are the exclusive draw of "Bella Cristia." In conclusion, CUP Application #2013-155 must be denied.

Among many other reasons, the Application violates Municipal Code § 9.60.280(F)(1) due to facial noncompliance with § 9.60.280(F)(3). Moreover, based on the uncontroverted opposition of 25 adjacent property owners, the Application also violates Municipal Code § 9.60.280(F)(2). if the City approves the CUP, the adjacent property owners will undeniably lose value in their property (the preliminary evaluation suggests at least several million dollars in lost equity). We will have appraisals completed and plan to represent or assist these owners in their efforts to seek recovery of their losses. This form of taking will seriously harm many homeowners in this working class neighborhood. tD Sincerely, John Melvin General Counsel Cc: Katherine Jenson, Rutan & Tucker ens( n) -) an. corn OPPOSITION TO PERMIT APPLICATIOIM�; U5 City of La Quinta Community Development Department 78-495 Calle Tampico La Quinta, California To Whom It May Concern: RECEIVED FEB 2.4 Z014 CITY Ota U� i4UINTA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Please allow this letter to serve as a formal objection to th; Apmi �catipn for a Conditional Use Permit #2013-155, which is set for public hearing before the Planpll ag Commission on February 25, 2014.
