APN: 774-217-007
On January 11, 2005 at approximately 3:00 PM the following field observations were noted while
accompanying Code Compliance Officer Jackie Misuraca investigating an un -permitted garage
conversion. The garage was converted into two (2) living spaces including a kitchen, bath and
utility closet. I met with Mr. Enrique Guzman with his son present to interpret when necessary to
assess the existing conditions and facilitate assisting Mr. Guzman in complying with minimum
garage interior dimensions. Additionally, an un -permitted covered patio was assessed in the back
yard.
Per the City of La Quinta Municipal Code Section 9.150.060 the garage conversion is not
permitted. Mr. Guzman shall be required to demolish the interior wall construction to obtain a
minimum 20' x 20' garage interior. Mr. Guzman shall be required to submit a demolition permit
application (CBC 106.1 Permits Required) with plans demonstrating; 1) existing conversion
conditions and 2) a garage plan demonstrating minimum parking compliance. (CBC 106.3.3
Information on plans and specifications) The garage plan shall include firewall & fire door
notation, electrical, mechanical and plumbing information as applicable to the structure. The plan
will facilitate a clear understanding between Mr. Guzman and the City for the scope of work
required to obtain final compliance. approval.
Per the 2001 California Building Code, Section 106. 1, the covered patio is not exempt of
requiring a building permit. The owner was advised to submit an application, plans and
specifications to scale with sufficient clarity to indicate the location, nature and extent of the work
proposed to the City Building Department for review and approval to acquire a patio permit. Mr.
Guzman was informed of a City of La Quinta patio structure handout that may facilitate his
application with the knowledge that the as -built structure may not comply with the City's
prescriptive patio requirements requiring Mr. Guzman to hire the services of an architect or
engineer. An option available to Mr. Guzman is to include the covered patio demolition scope of
work to his garage demolition permit for compliance.
In summary, Building Permit's are required for the demolition of the garage conversion to obtain
minimum 20' x 20' clear net interior garage compliance and the covered patio construction. After
the submittal of plans, comprehensive review and approval of these projects the owner should be
aware that work for which a permit is required shall be subject to inspection and shall remain
accessible and exposed for inspection until approved. (California Building Code section 108.1)
Mr. Guzman agreed to submit an application and plans within a week for review.
