AREA ON 60 + ACRES AND ACCEPTANCE OF PLANNING COMMISSION
REPORT OF ACTION FOR PLOT PLAN 90 -434 TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION
OF PHASE I & III OF THE PROJECT (FIVE MAJOR STORES AND
RETAIL SHOPS) IN THE C -P -S ZONE AND CONFIRMATION OF
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION. PROPERTY IS BOUNDED BY
WHITEWATER STORM CHANNEL; HIGHWAY 111; ADAMS AND WASHINGTON
STREET. APPLICANT: TRANSPACIFIC DEVELOPMENT CO.
Mr. Herman presented staff report advising that Phase I
consists of a grocery store, drug store, a major and some
smaller shops and Phase III at Adams and Highway 111
consists of a Wallmart Store. He briefly reviewed the
proposed projects.
City Council Minutes Page 2 March 20, 1990
The Planning Commission and Design Review Board have
reviewed this application and both recommend approval
subject to various conditions. There was discussion
regarding the proposed elevations of the Wallmart building.
PETER ADAMS, President of Transpacific Development Co.,
addressed the Council advising that Michael Shovlin is a
partner in the project. They have been working on this
project for about a year and have about $3,500 - $4,000 per
day into it. Their approach to the project has been to
fulfill the desires of the City as expressed in the Highway
111 Corridor Specific Plan. They're plan is for a regional
center that would draw from other areas.
RICK MANNERS, representing MCGR, the architects for the
project reviewed the site plan and elevations. He advised
that Phase I is basically a "neighborhood center" - a
market, drug center with outlying pads and Phase III is more
of a "power" center with anchor tenants and free - standing
pads. The parking provided is 5 per 1,000 when built out.
There is 50' of landscaped area on Highway 111, including a
low wall and landscaped berm to screen parking from the
street. Three "theme plazas" - seating, and landscaping are
planned. He then described the elevations as having a
southwest theme.
GEORGE PARMETER, representing Barton Ashton, Assoc., Traffic
Consultant, advised that the major consideration was that
this center be an easy place to get in and out of. He then
explained the circulation advising that there is a signal
planned at Simon Drive and at Adams and one in between.
They are planning an additional lane on Highway 111 (in
addition to the three lanes) for ingress and egress. They
are requesting a left -turn lane southbound on Washington to
allow access to the western area of the center but limiting
a right -in and right -out from Washington.
PETER ADAMS presented their time schedule advising that they
hope to get approval soon and are anticipating closing with
the anchor tenants in May or June and start construction at
the same time and begin opening in December or January. He
added that Payless has stated they would have to reconsider
if they don't get the left turn on Washington. They are
also working with Albertsons and they are ready to begin
working drawings, however, they too, feel it's important to
have a left -turn on Washington. He advised that they are
going to be requesting a development agreement with the City
so that they have a vested right in the project and will be
discussing participation with regard to infrastructure
costs. Regarding Condition No. 29, he advised that they
plan to put a fountain in the theme plaza and asked that the
word "art work" be replaced with fountain. Regarding No. 44,
City Council Minutes
Page 3 March 20, 1990
he asked that it be deleted. Regarding No. 68, he advised
that there is a 2 1/2 acre parcel on the other side of the
storm channel which they own and will be dedicating it to
the Coachella Valley Water District and Imperial Irrigation
District.
With regard to the Wallmart design, they have not officially
approved what was approved by the Planning Commission.
Finally, Mr. Adams asked for a continuance to the next
meeting in order to finalize some environmental work for
Caltrans.
In response to Council Member Bohnenberger, Mr. Adams
advised that all frontage improvements on Highway 111 will
be completed at once and there will be a connection between
Phase I and Phase III on -site.
Council Member Bohnenberger commented on a recent ruling by
the South Coast Air Quality Management District eliminating
drive -thrus and Ms. Brady believed that it goes into effect
in 1991, but would check on it.
The Mayor declared the public hearing OPEN.
GARY BEALS, 891 Via Monte Vista spoke in favor of the
project. He advised that a recent survey clearly shows that
we need to add retail in the City.
MOTION - It was moved by Council Members Sniff /Rushworth
that this matter be continued to April 3, 1990. Motion
carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 90 -24.
2. PUBLIC HEARING ON TENTATIVE TRACT 25237 FOR RE- SUBDIVISION

FERNANDO ABOUT 1/4 MILE WEST OF EISENHOWER DRIVE AND
CONFIRMATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT. APPLICANT: LA
QUINTA JOINT VENTURE.
Mr. Herman presented staff report advising that this is an
application for re- subdivision of a previously approved
tract. It proposes 54 single family lots for custom home
development. The entry is from Avenida Fernando 250+ feet
west of Obregon. The proposed map shows the current

NORTH SIDE OF HIGHWAY 111 BETWEEN ADAMS STREET AND
WASHINGTON STREET
A NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT WAS ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL ON APRIL
17, 1990, ON THE ORIGINAL SPECIFIC PLAN AND PLOT
PLAN APPLICATIONS. THIS REQUEST IS. MINOR IN
NATURE AND WOULD NOT HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE
ENVIRONMENT. THEREFORE, NO FURTHER
DOCUMENTATION IS DEEMED NECESSARY.
Wal -Mart stores wishes to install a flag pole and flag adjacent to their store entry
which faces Highway 111. Presently the building is under construction and
scheduled for completion sometime around late September. The building is located
on the west side of Adams Street just south of the Whitewater Storm Channel.
The Municipal Code requires that on commercial property the Planning Commission
review all flag pole requests. Therefore this request has been forwarded to you.
REQUEST:
The Applicants wish to install a flag pole on top of the building near the main entry.
The flag pole would be mounted on the main part of the building approximately ten
feet to the east of the entry canopy. The 20 foot high pole would be mounted 16 feet
above the highest point of the building. The overall height from the ground would
be approximately 46 feet. The Applicants propose to install a 5' by 8' American flag
on this flag pole. The Applicant's representative indicates that this is typical of all
Wal -Mart stores. They indicate that since this store is an American based business,
they are proud to utilize a flag pole and American flag.
STAFF COMMENTS:
Staff has no objections to the flag pole being utilized. The height proposed is not
excessively higher than the building. As an alternative, the Applicant's could
utilize a free standing flag pole. However, Staff has no objection to the building
mounted flag pole.

SUBJECT: ALBERTSON'S SUPERMARKET IN LA QUINTA (PLOT PLAN 90 -434)
Dear Mr. Schoen:
Upon final inspection of the Albertson's supermarket in the 111 La Quinta Shopping Center, it
came to our attention that the exterior security lights on the rear of the Albertson's building that
have been installed are not approved by our Department. As you will recall, during July, 1992,
we informed you that an alternate light fixture would need to be chosen. To the best of our
knowledge, this has not yet been done and an unapproved light fixture has been installed. Prior
to us granting final clearance for occupancy the light fixtures will need to be changed to an
approved fixture. MCG has installed a light fixture in the adjacent shop building which has been
approved by our Department. This light fixture is a Floodmite FMD lighting fixture. Please
use this light fixture in place of the existing light fixtures.
The 42" high chain link fence at the rear of the store is required to be properly primed and
painted to match the adjacent walls. This was noted in our plan check correction memo of April
27, 1992.
When the trash compactor was allowed to encroach into the rear drive aisle (with subsequent
reduction in rear planter width) a 6 foot high decorative wall was required for the length of the
modified curb (approximately 75 feet). This wall is not constructed and will need to be provided
prior to our release. The wall should be placed so that some small shrubs can be provided on Hwy
the south side of the wall. The wall color should match the adjacent big wall and be approved
by our Department prior to construction.

SUBJECT: FINAL INSPECTION FOR ALBERTSON'S SUPERMARKET (PLOT
PLAN 90 -434)
On December 21, 1992, at the request of the Building and Safety Department, this Department
inspected the Albertson's supermarket site for final occupancy and would note the following
corrections:
1. The exterior security lights on the outside of the sides and rear of the building are not
the correct approved fixtures. A modification to the originally approved fixture was
approved by this Department for the adjacent shops. Those same light fixtures should
be used.
2. The 42" high chain link fence at the rear of the store is required to be properly primed
and painted to match the adjacent walls. This was noted in our plan check correction
memo of April 27, 1992.
3. When the trash compactor was allowed to encroach into the rear drive aisle (with

some small shrubs can be provided on the south side of the wall. The wall color should
match the adjacent big wall and be approved by our Department prior to construction.
Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me. I will send a letter to
the architect for Albertson's informing them of the corrections.

ALAN EHRENHALT
Up Against
The Wal -Mart
Even in the path of a $42 billion steamroller, a community isn't powerless.
obody did more to unsettle rural America than Henry
Ford, but that didn't prevent him from pining after
the small -town values and traditions he and his auto-
mobile disrupted. Late in the 1920s, long after his own cars
and factories had made the village life of Ford's boyhood all
but obsolete, he spent millions re- creating it in a park on the
outskirts of Detroit, complete with dirt roads, gas street
lamps, horse -drawn carriages and a grassy town square. "I am
trying in a small way," Ford said, "to help America take a step
toward the saner and sweeter idea of life that prevailed in the
pre -war days."
If there is.a Henry Ford of the late 20th
century, it is Sam Walton of Bentonville,
Arkansas, the creator of Wal -Mart stores.
His new autobiography, Made in America,
published shortly after his death this past
April, all but gushes with praise for the
small -town values that he says made him a
business success and kept his head on
straight long after he had become a billion-
aire. "We thrive on a lot of the traditions of
small -town America," Walton wrote of his
$42 billion, 1,800 -store empire. He says he
and his wife kept the corporate headquar-
ters in Bentonville "so we could raise our
kids with the same values she and 1 had
been exposed to in our youth."
Walton never had his bovhood home made into a theme
park, the way Ford did, but he did install a Wal-Mart museum
on the Bentonville town square, in a restored version of the
old Five -and -Dime Building where he first opened up for
business in 1951. What he wanted, Walton said, "was to
capture a little bit of the old dime store feel." That dime store
is the 1990s equivalent of the buggies that still trudge up and
down the roads of Greenfield Village, Henry Ford's ersatz
hometown. It is a relic of the world that Sam Walton both
loved and helped to destroy.
There is no reason to doubt the sincerity of Walton's old -
fashioned values. He was a genuine Rotarian, Presbyterian
deacon and small -town Chamber of Commerce president.
But there is also no mistaking the legacy of the Walton era:
boarded -up stores and deserted ':Main Streets in just the sort
of towns he cared most about, towns that fell victim to giant
Wal-Mart stores that came in and priced their goods so low
that the independent merchant never had a chance.
This is a familiar enough story by now; it has been the
subject of quite a few- newspaper and magazine articles over
the past decade. But the issue seems to have stung Sam
Walton to the end of his life. "Nobody has more love for the
heyday of the small -town retailing era than I do," he protests
in his autobiography. "Of all the notions I've heard about
Wal -Mart, none has ever baffled me more than this idea that
we are somehow the enemy of small -town America."
Walton mounts a reasonable enough defense —he didn't
kill Main Street, change killed it. If he hadn't dropped Wal -
Mart stores all over the landscape, then K mart or Target or
Woolco would have come along and done the same thing.
From the point of view of the druggist or hardware dealer
forced out of business, it would have amounted to the same
thing. 'The small stores were just destined to disappear,"
Walton wrote. "It was as inevitable as the replacement of the
buggy by the car."
He goes further. Not only was the Wal -
Mart phenomenon inevitable, he says, but
it has been a good thing for the communi-
ties it has hit. There are 400,000 Wal -Mart
employees, and the full -time ones are eli-
gible for profit sharing. A significant num-
ber have become rich by investing in com-
pany stock. Most important to Walton,
though, his low prices have kept money in
the pockets of ordinary rural people like
the ones he grew up with. The dimes they
save on socks and toothpaste make it that
much easier to get through the week on a
tight budget. "Millions of people," he ar-
gues, "are better off today than they would
be if Wal-Mart had not existed."
Fair enough. But one still has to balance those gains against
losses of a staggering dimension. It is not just a matter of
nostalgia for the days when locally owned stores competed
with each other for business across a thriving town square. It
is a matter of numbers.
Kenneth Stone, an economics professor at Iowa State
University, used sales tax data to study what happened to the
economies of 30 Iowa towns in the years after Wal-Mart
located there. In every town Wal-Mart entered, total sales
went up. But Wal-Mart was about the only beneficiary.
Almost evervbodv else lost. If new Wal-Mart store does $17
million worth of business in the first year -the average in
Iowa during the period Stone studied —and total sales in the
community increase by $7 million, it doesn't take much
imagination to guess what has happened to the other busi-
nesses in town. Thee have lost $10 million. "It steamrolls local
business," says Doug Bachtel, a rural sociologist at the Uni-
versity of Georgia. "It just steamrolls them flat."
But it goes beyond numbers, and beyond boarded -up
windows on Main Street. Gone with those dollars, within a
few years, are most of the local merchants who provided the
civic and political leadership. "If a family gets put out of
business," one storekeeper in Maryland told a reporter last
year, "you lose a community leader. It means we have fewer
GOVERNING September 1992
i
store owners and more cashiers and clerks."
Meanwhile, the profits made by the new Wal -Mart (or K
mart or Target or whatever) do not stay in town. They make a
brief stopover at a local bank, then depart for the corporate
treasury hundreds of miles away. "That basically takes money
out of the area," says Kenneth Stone. "It's that much less
money in local banks that could be loaned to the community."
To say that is not to accuse Wal -Mart of a crime. Wal -Mart
is in business to make money. Keeping the downtown drug
store operating is not its responsibility. But local govern-
ments do have a responsibility—to learn to cope with the
Wal -Mart era and manage it in a way that preserves as much
of a town's identity and character as possible.
Theoretically, at least, the range of options includes keep-
ing the discount store out of town altogether. A new 100,000 -
square -foot store nearly always requires some zoning changes,
and a community determined to keep Wal -Mart out has the
legal leverage to do it. "If some community, for whatever
reason, doesn't want us in there," Sam Walton said, "we aren't
interested in going in and creating a fuss."
He could afford to say that because, in most places in
America, the political pressure is on the side of bringing the
discount store in. It's not that people want their downtown to
dry up; it's just that those problems are off in the distance, and
bargain prices are just one simple rezoning away.
This year, Wal -Mart is opening more than 150 new stores.
Many of them are in places that have so far escaped the
discount invasion — places like Omak, Washington, an iso-
lated town of fewer than 5,000 people in the rugged north-
eastern part of the state. Downtown Omak has stayed alive.
But by next year, if all goes according to plan, this tiny town
will have two huge discount stores staring at each other across
the highway. "After Wal -Mart and K mart fight it out, you
aren't going to have a downtown Omak," says Kenneth
Munsell, director of the Small Towns Institute in nearby
Ellensburg, Washington. Nevertheless, the approval for the
giant stores made it through the town planning commission in
two days. "They are blithely unaware of the consequences,"
Munsell says.
But as Wal -Mart expands ever further, into more sophisti-
cated suburban territory, it will meet some different re-
sponses. Last year, Wal -Mart announced plans to build two
giant stores in Ellicott City, Maryland, between Washington,
D.C., and Baltimore. The construction required a zoning
variance, and Wal -Mart hired a lawyer to argue for it. But
local residents were able to afford two lawyers to argue the
opposing side, and packed Howard County council hearings
with citizens saying it was the wrong store in the wrong place.
The zoning board turned Wal -Mart down.
This wasn't so much a matter of merchant opposition as it
was homeowners worried about noise and congestion. But
the message was clear: Comfortable Howard County didn't
need Wal -Mart badly enough to let it come in and take any
piece of land in the county it happened to be hungry for.
THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE THE TYPICAL CASE IN
most of the country. Most communities are not going to tell
Wal -Mart to go away. But zoning power gives them much
more leverage over a giant retail company than most of them
realize they have. If they use it, they can squeeze concessions
that can prove important to community life in the long run.
The local government of Carroll, Iowa, told Wal -Mart that
it was welcome to come in, but it had to locate within close
proximity to downtown, where there happened to be a large
piece of land available. Wal -Mart normally doesn't like to
build downtown, but it did so in Carroll, three blocks from the
center, and thereby minimized the damage to the Main Street
retailers, who are.benefiting from the additional traffic and
avoiding the isolation that normally sets in when the new
Wal -Mart is out on the highway, five miles from town.
"Just because a Wal -Mart wants to come to a community,"
says Kenneth Munsell, "doesn't mean you have to let them in
on their terms. You have options, and you should stand up for
them. A lot of places just cave in. But if you have strong laws
and you force them to do things, they will do them." The
current head -to -head competition between Wal -Mart and K
mart makes the opening for a smart local government that
much bigger; if it tries hard enough, it may be able to play one
against the other for the community's advantage.
On the fundamental point, Sam Walton was right: Change
was inevitable. Main Street couldn't survive forever as it was
a generation ago. If you want to see an American small -town
dime store, circa 1951, the best place to see it is probably
Bentonville, Arkansas, at Sam Walton's museum.
But the reality of the destruction wrought by the Wal -Mart
era does not mean that communities have to march into it
blindfolded, lambs to the slaughter. Leaders can lead; gov-
ernments can govern, even when their town budget is $5
million and the company they are negotiating with is worth.
$42 billion. That is what governments are there for. in

from the cut sheet faxed to your office.
There are 13 of these fixtures, and they are available only

California, and installed upon arrival. We expect
installation to be complete by December 1, 1992.

NOVEMBER 13, 1992
PLOT PLAN 90 -434 (WAL -MART SITE)
The Planning and Development Department on this date re- inspected the Wal -Mart site. On an
earlier preinspection, we noted that the outside building lights were not approved, and that
unapproved and unpermitted advertising was placed on the outside of the garden sales area
fencing. The lighting must be changed to a lighting fixture which is down shinning and does
not shine outward. The Albertsons Supermarket has such a light which we have approved and
should be used in this case too. Additionally, the signage on the garden sales area fencing must
be removed. Additionally, we noted that garden soil, manure, etc., has been stored outside the
garden area fencing. This is not permitted by Code or approval of the center and ' must be
immediately and permanently removed.
These items must be corrected prior to a permanent certificate of occupancy being issued.

Enclosed for your review please find one copy of L.M. Scofield's concrete color
chart. We are proposing to use a Slate Pattern stamped concrete at the main
driveway entrances as shown on approved drawings. The concrete color is to be
Classic Gray A -33 which is highlighted for your reference.
Also, we have included a colored elevation of a typical entry monument wall per the
approved plans. The colors noted to the left of the legend are referenced to the
color and material board on file with the City.
So as not to delay construction progress we would appreciate your prompt review
and approval of these submitted items. Should you have any questions please do
not hesitate to contact me immediately.

FROM: 45�0 STAN SAWA, PRINCIPAL PLANNER
DATE: OCTOBER 12, 1992
SUBJECT: FINAL INSPECTION FOR WAL -MART (PP 90 -434)
The Planning Department has reviewed the Wal -Mart site and feels that several items still need
to be addressed. Those items are as follows:
1. . Parking lot and sidewalk areas need to be cleaned of debris and dirt.
2. Advertising signs have been placed on the wrought iron surrounding the garden area.
These signs are not permitted by this approval or by Code and must be removed.
3. The wall mounted building lights along the exterior sides and rear are not approved.
These lights shine outward onto adjacent streets and properties and are not in compliance
with the Conditions of Approval for this shopping center. They need to be replaced with
approved lights (i.e., Albertsons has approved lights).
These items need to be corrected prior to final occupancy.

SUBJECT: SIGNAGE FOR ALBERTSON'S #1627 IN LA QUINTA (PP 90 -434)
Dear Mr. Wilcox:
In response to your letter dated September 14, 1992, this is to inform you that in order to install any additional
signage beyond the Albertson's logo and "Albertson's ", an amendment to the sign program will be needed.
Amendment to the sign program requires review and approval from the Design Review Board and Planning
Commission.
As you know, your original request for ancillary signage for "Liquor" and "Food -Drug" was not approved;
This is because this is felt that such ancillary signage is not necessary. Wal -Mart requested ancillary signage
but was only permitted one small "Auto Center" sign facing Adams Street on the wall of the Auto Center.
However, this sign is not visible from the front of the building.
In order to apply for an amendment to the sign program, the enclosed sign application must be filled out, an
$80.00 sign request fee paid and 15 folded sets of plans showing the building (site and elevation) and specific
sign locations, sign details, and sign colors submitted. Once we have received this information, we will
schedule it for the appropriate meetings.
Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact this undersigned.
Very truly yours,

SUBJECT: SITE DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR THE 111 LA QUINTA CENTER
Dear Colm:
Pursuant to your request, we have reviewed the revision you have made to the site development
plans and would offer the following comments:
1. The steel pole bollards utilized to protect the trash compactor are suppose to angled with
stripping painted on the ground to direct traffic around the bollard. The Albertsons
architect has prepared an exhibit for this. Therefore, we will expect the bollards to be
placed as noted by the Albertson's architect.
Landscaping and irrigation plans for the area between the sidewalk and future curbs will need
to be approved sometime in the future prior to planting. The original concept approved for this
area will be required.
` It should be noted that the Engineering Department recently instituted a new requirement that
perimeter landscaping plans be reviewed and approved by the Engineering Department. If you
have not yet initiated this yet you should begin the procedure by contacting the Engineering
Department..
Other concerns regarding the Theme Plaza and perimeter landscaping have been discussed on
September 15, 1992, and are being addressed.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.
Very truly yours, ,

Enclosed please find two copies of the cut sheet for the Flood Mite FMD lighting
fixture. We propose to utilize this fixture at the rear of the shops as an alternate to
the Bieber fixture you previously rejected You will note this cut sheet indicates
high pressure sodium, however, we will be using Metal Halide lamps to maintain a
consistent light source with the balance of the parking lot areas.
I believe this fixture satisfies the shielding requirements we discussed. Again, this
fixture will be mounted at approximately 12 feet.

Please let us know of your acceptance as soon as possible so that the contractor
may order the fixture.

A large group'of evergreen herbs and shrubs, including
some 150 species, five of which are native to dry land-
scapes in California. These plants are distinguished by
their bright yellow, daisy-like flowers, which grow on long
stems above the foliage. Most species show good toler-
ance of heat, sun, and drought. They are most often
planted from seed to stabilize slopes and revegetate
disturbed areas.
V. deltoidea var. parishfi, Desert Sunflower, is a broad,
mounding plant, 2 -3 ft, high, S-7 ft. across. It ,grows
throughout the Mojave and Colorado deserts into areas of
San Diego County. Yellow flowers contrast nicely with
blue-green foliage.

V. laciniata San Diego Sunflower, is a low growing shrub
18.24 in. high, spreading 4 -6 ft. This is a commonly used
species which provides bright flower accent character
and erosion control uses, Plate 483
V. dentate, is a species from Mexico, It develops into a
medium-sized shrub, 3 -5 ft, high,'6 -8 ft, across. It shows
good performance on dry slopes, in full sun, and accepts

Regarding your letter dated July 20, 1992, for a Beiber light fixture, Staff has
already written Norman Schoen of the Nadel Partnership regarding the Albertsons
supermarket. They were proposing to utilize the same light fixture after discussions
with you. The Planning Department feels that the light fixture should not be
adjustable. This would eliminate any unauthorized readjusting of the light fixture
towards the north (zoned residential) . Therefore, an alternate light fixture which
is shielded and not adjustable should be utilized. Attached is the letter to Mr.
Schoen for your use. Please coordinate your choice of a light fixture with Mr Schoen
and resubmit a cut sheet for our review and approval.

minimizing light over spill and glare towards the residentially zoned property. With
the adjustable light fixture you have submitted, Staff feels that the problem of light

As we discussed recently, you indicated that there are several items that you need
to have addressed before issuing a building permit for the Albertsons store
referenced above.
Please refer to the following for our response to your concerns. Note: A copy of
your memo has been included for your convenience.
1. All exterior fixtures will be of the type that has the bulb shielded and pointed
in a downward direction.
2. Paint striping and pipe bollard will be placed as indicated on the enclosed
sketch.
3. Albertsons will obtain a separate permit for signage. These plans show
signage only as a means to locate electrical and structural connection points.
4. The 42" high chain link fence at the delivery ramp will be primed and painted
to match the exterior of the building.
5. All shopping carts will be stores inside of the Albertsons building. Please see
the attached sketch for location of cart storage.
If additional items need to be addressed, please contact me.

SUBJECT: PAYLESS DRUG STORES IN LA QUINTA
Dear Ms. Demciuc :
The Planning and Development Department has reviewed the working drawings for
the Payless Drugs at Washington Street and Highway 111. A number of revision or
clarifications are needed before we can grant clearance for issuance of a building
permit. Those items are as follows:
1. Increase 40- inches high concrete block wall around outdoor sales area to 60-
inches in order to screen sales merchandise.
2. Submit sample of "Frazee" #5335A, "ranch mink", which is used on the accent
strip metal reveal.
3. Submit sample of "Mission tile" 8" X 8" Portland cement, pattern "Ritz" (4)
borders with corner, color C -107 "Terra Cotta ", C -103 "Naranja", C -114
"Sage ", and C -113 "Taupe" which is used on the exterior walls.
4. Submit manufacturers cut sheet for exterior light fixtures used on north, east i
and west exterior walls.
5. Provide line of sight drawing from far side of channel to north or provide
other plans to verify that air conditioning units and satellite dish on roof will
be screened from view of residential properties to the north.
6. A separate sign permit for "Payless Drugs" will need to be obtained from the
Planning and Development Department prior to installation.
While these items must be clarified or submitted, it should be noted that other items
pertaining to the overall site and may not be your responsibility must be complied
with prior to issuance of your building permit. These requirements result from
approval of the Specific Plan and Plot Plan for the site.

OF HIGHWAY 111 AND WASHINGTON STREET
(SPECIFIC PLAN 89 -014 & PLOT PLAN 90 -434)
(ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 89 -150)
Dear Mr. Gastelum:
The Director of the Planning & Development Department has
approved an addendum to the previously granted Negative
Declaration of Environmental Impact for the above project.
This addendum allows the inclusion of a 1,000 foot wide by 50
foot deep parcel at the northwest corner of Highway 111 and
Washington Street to be included as a part of this project. A
full description of this minor project change is contained in
the enclosed addendum.
Staff has determined that this addendum is appropriate due to
the minor nature of the project change, the disturbed condition
of the site, and location adjacent to the paved Highway 111
travel lanes. Therefore, no further Environmental Review or
mitigation measures is deemed necessary.
If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned.

ADDENDUM TO NEGATIVE DECLARATION
TRANSPACIFIC DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
(EA 89 -150)
STATE ROUTE 111 WIDENING: WASHINGTON STREET TO 1.000 FEET WESTERLY
This Addendum to the Negative Declaration based upon Environmental Assessment
89 -150 for the La Quinta Center has been prepared by the City of La Quinta.
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section
15162, subsequent changes can be made to a project and, if no new significant
impacts occur and no additional mitigation is required, no additional EIR is required.
This Addendum describes the minor project changes proposed and addresses two
areas of potential concern; cultural resources and biological resources.
BACKGROUND
On April 17, 1990, the City of La Quinta certified a Negative Declaration (ND) for
an approximately 618,000 square foot shopping center located on a 62 acre site
bounded by State Route (SR -) 111, Adams Street, Washington Street, and
Whitewater Wash. The project location is shown in Figure 1. The Negative
Declaration also addressed the widening of SR -111 between Adams Street and
Washington Street, a 3,600 foot distance along the shopping center project frontage.
After application of mitigation measures, no significant adverse environmental effects
were identified for either the shopping center or the roadway widening. The State
Department of Transportation (Caltrans) was identified as a Responsible Agency
under CEQA and reviewed the ND for the shopping center.
PROPOSED PROJECT CHANGES
Subsequent to the approval of the Negative Declaration, Caltrans and the City have
determined that minor modifications to the improvements to SR -111 would result in
• public benefit. This modification would extend the widening of SR -111, providing
• tapering additional lane for 1,000 feet west of Washington Avenue.
Existing SR -111 provides two travel lanes in each direction in the project vicinity.
The shopping center project will be widening SR -111 along the project frontage to
provide three westbound through lanes, plus additional turning lanes. The benefits
of the additional westbound lane can be enhanced by extending this lane through the
Washington Street intersection for 1,000 feet and then tapering back to two
westbound lanes. This extension will increase the capacity of, and result in a higher
level of service at the SR- 111 /Washington Street intersection.
This widening requires the acquisition of an approximately 1, 000 foot long by 50 foot
wide parcel on the north side of SR -111. This parcel is currently vacant and
disturbed.
DOCSS.001
,# j� 9
IMPACTS
After reviewing the Negative Declaration for the project, it was determined that the
original review adequately addressed the following potential impacts, inclusive of the
lane extension:
*
Landform/ Geology/ Soils
* Hydrology
* Land Use
* Light and Glare
* Risk of Upset
* Traffic
* Air Quality
* Noise
* Public Services
* Aesthetics
CULTURAL RESOURCES
The additional 1,000 foot long area was surveyed for cultural resources by the
University of California at Riverside (UCR) . UCR conducted the original cultural
resources survey of the SR -111 widening between Adams and Washington. Two
subsequent surveys were conducted. The first (March, 1990) extended 500 feet
west of Washington; the second (November, 1990) extended an additional 1000 feet.
The expanded survey reports are contained in Attachment One. No additional
cultural resources were discovered on the site, and no additional mitigation measures
were recommended.
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The additional area was surveyed for biological resources on November 1, 1990, by
LSA Associates, Inc. (LSA) of Irvine, California. LSA conducted the original
biological resources survey on the SR -111 widening between Adams and Washington.
The expanded survey report, dated November 5, 1990, is contained in Attachment
Two. In summary, the site was surveyed for three sensitive species known to occur
in the area and possibly occurring on the site: Coachella Valley Fringe -Toed Lizard
(Uma Inornata), a Federally threatened and State endangered species; the Flat -
Tailed Horned Lizard (Pbrynosoma m'calli) , a candidate for listing on the Federal and
State levels; and California ditaxis, a perennial shrub. The site is highly
disturbed, and no evidence of any of these species was found on this site. No
additional mitigation was recommended.
CONCLUSIONS
The additional widening of SR -111 for 1,000 feet west of Washington Street
constitutes a minor change to the previously approved widening of SR -111 and
construction of the La Quinta Center. No additional environmental impacts or
additional mitigation measures have been identified. The conclusions of the original
Negative Declaration remain valid.

KMAENENT SUKKARY
In October, 1990, an archaeological assessment was conducted on
a right -of -way corridor located in the City of La Quinta in Riverside
County, California. The objective of this study was to locate,
record, and evaluate archaeological resources on the subject propertte ,
and to determine to what extent such resources, if any, would
affected by proposed development. A records search revealed no
previously recorded archaeological or historical resources on the
property. An on -foot archaeological survey of the subject property
revealed one previously unrecorded archaeological site. No further
archaeological investigation is recommended. However, a halt -work
condition should be placed on construction permits so that in the
event buried cultural resources are found during construction, work
would be stopped or diverted until a professional archaeologist can
evaluate the finds and make recommendations.
I. INTRODUCTION
In October, 1990, Transpacific Development Company requested the
Archaeological Research Unit (ARU) to conduct a cultural resources assessment of
a right -of -way corridor located at the western extent of the Washington Plaza
Project. The corridor is located along the north side of Highway 111, from 500
to 1000 ft. (152 to 305 m.) west of the intersection of Washington Street and
Highway 111 in La Quinta, (the SE 1!4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 19, T.5S9 R.1E,
SBBM, as shown on the La Quinta, Ca if. 1.5' series USGS quadrangle).
This phase of the project is in addition to two previous cultural resource
assessments conducted by the ARU on the Washington Plaza project. The first
(McCarthy 1989) comprised the bulk of the Plaza property, and the second (Arkush
1990) consisted of a 500 -ft. (152 -m.) right -of -way corridor extending west from
the Plaza property. The present study is an additional 500 -ft. (152 -m.) westward
extension of the right -of -way surveyed by Arkush. The corridor surveyed during
this phase of research lies from a point 500 ft. (152 m.) west of the
intersection of Washington Street and Highway 111 west to Point Happy. T h i s
report should be considered as a second appendix to the report by McCarthy
(1989). The cultural history and environmental setting of the project area were
discussed by McCarthy (1989) and are not detailed in this report.
The purpose of the study was to satisfy the requirements of the Riverside
County Planning Commission with regard to the identification and protection of
archaeological or significant historical materials on lands proposed for de-
velopment in the unincorporated areas of the county.
II. RESEARCH GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
. The objectives of an archaeological assessment are to locate, interpret, and
evaluate the indications of past human activities in the study area. The
indicators of past human activities are labelled archaeological resources and can
consist of any visible remains of human use of the environment. The locations
of such resources can be defined by the presence or significant occurrence of one
or more of the following categories of archaeological remains: food waste,
1
SENT BY:TDC
;11- 8 -80 ; 3:54AM ;
2
56455174 8
fragmentary or whole tools, tool manufacturing waste, concentrations or
alignments of stone, trails, modifications of natural rock surfaces, soil
discoloration and/or its accumulation, or human skeletal remains. All such types
of remains are known to exist in the region.
SIGNIFICANCE CRITERIA
For the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
Appendix K, an 'important archaeological resource" is one which:
A. Is associated with an event or person of:
1. Recognized significance in California or American history; or
2. Recognized scientific importance in prehistory;
B. Can provide information which is both of demonstrable public interest
and useful in addressing scientifically consequential and reasonable or
archaeological research questions;
C. Has a special or particular quality such as oldest, best example,
largest, or last surviving example of its kind;
D. Is at least 100 years old and possesses substantial stratigraphic
integrity; or
E. Involves important research questions that historical research has shown
can be answered only with archaeological methods.
SITE DEFINITION
For the purpose of the California Archaeological Inventory, Office of
Historic Preservation, has defined an archaeological "site" as the location of
associated artifacts and features, regardless of temporal placement or
complexity. Minimally, a "site" must meet two criteria:
A. It must consist of at least three associated artifacts or a single
feature.
B. A site must be a t
determined by artifactual
site to others which have
PROCEDURES
least 45 years of age. The age of the site may be
evidence, documentary evidence, or similarity of the
firm dating.
In standard archaeological procedure, the following phases are recognized:
A. Phase I: Perform a records search and field survey. (If a site is
found, Phase II follows. If no sites are found, the field survey completes the
necessary archaeological investigation.)
B. Phase II: Conduct a testing program to determine the "significance" of
the site based on CEQA guidelines and the horizontal and vertical extent of the
remains, using one or more of the following means: test excavation units,
trenches, surface collection, auguring, and documentary and archival research.
(If the site is determined to be "significant', Phase III follows. If the site
is determined not to be "significant', the data recovered' in Phase II is
considered sufficient mitigation.)
C. Phase III: Conduct a mitigation program. This program may consist of
data recovery excavation, site preservation, or a combination of both.

III. SURVEY PROCEDURE
An on -foot survey of the property was conducted by the author on 18 October
1990. Transects were walked parallel to Highway 111, and were spaced
approximately five meters (16 feet) apart. In this way, the corridor was given
thorough coverage. Ground visibility was excellent due to lack of vegetal cover
close to the ground. Rocky outcrops along the base of Point Happy were closely
inspected for evidence of grinding.
IV. RESULTS
One previously unrecorded archaeological site was discovered during the
survey. The site, temporarily designated 1023/3/A, may be characterized as a
sherd scatter. It contains four sherds of Tizon Brownware pottery. Three of the
sherds were found in very close proximity to one another, and appear to have come
from one vessel. Another sherd, although of the same type, appears to have come
from another vessel and was located approximately 16 m. (50 ft.) northeast of the
other sherds. No madden, other artifacts, or features were found in association
with the pottery sherds.
VII. SITE SIGNIFICANCE
Sherd scatters of this type are quite common in the region, and are usually
surface phenomena. Generally, test excavations at such sites reveal no
subsurface deposit. It is believed that further archaeological investigation at
site 1023 /3 /A would yield no additional information concerning our understanding
of the prehistory of the area.
An archaeological site record was prepared for this site, and was filed with
the California Archaeological Inventory (CAI). It is judged that future
development of the property should have no direct or indirect adverse impact on
cultural resources.
VIII. RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that no further archaeological investigations be required
prior to development of the property. However, a halt -work condition should be
placed on construction permits so that if, during the process of development, any
archaeological resources are located, work would be stopped or diverted until a
qualified archaeologist is consulted for further evaluation.

Re: Archaeological assessment of the Cal Trans right of way north of Highway
111 associated with the Washington Plaza project.
Dear Mr. Holmes,
This letter report will serve as an appendix to our earlier report (UCRARU
#1023, McCarthy 1989) regarding an archaeological assessment of the Washington
Plaza property, located in the City of La Quint &, Riverside County, California,
as shown on the USGS La Quinta, Calif. 7.5' quadrangle, occupying portions of
Sections 19 and 30, T. 5S, R. 7E, SUM (Fig. 1).
At the request of Keith A. Holmes of Transpacific Development Company, the
Archaeological Research Unit (ARU), University of California, Riverside,
conducted an archaeological assessment of the Cal Trans right of way extending
northeast from Highway 111 onto the Washi gton 0 Plaza property. This right of
way corridor measures approximately 55 x 50ft. (16.6 x 1364 m.). The width
of the right of way corridor begins at the center line of Highway 111, and
extends approximately 20 ft. (6 m.) onto the Washington Plaza property (Fig.
2).
The objective of the study was to locate, record, and evaluate cultural
resources that might exist within the right of way corridor, and to determine
to what extent these resources, if present, would be impacted by construction
activities associated with the development the Washington Plaza property. The
scope of this study concerns cultural resources 50 years of age or older.
The survey was conducted on March 23, 1990 by myself and two associates.
The right of way corridor was systematically covered by two transects spaced
approximately three meters apart. As a result, a corridor measuring approximately
15 m. (50 ft.) wide beginning from the edge of Highway 111 was intensively
examined. This survey method ensured adequate coverage within the Cal Trans
right of way zone extending from the center line of Highway Ill and an additional
buffer zone approximately 10 m. (33 ft.) wide beyond the actual right of way
corridor. No cultural remains were observed during the course of this field
Investigation. Therefore, construction activities within the Cal Trans right
of way zone will have no adverse impacts on cultural resources of the area.

Dear Stevens
At your request, LSA Associates, Inc. (L ) has surveyed t. aaddit coal
SO -foot wide strip of land north of HIIhWay lI between ®PoiW ll<gpy, and
Washington Stmt for additional potential habi t for the two sensitive l zard
spac%s that occur in the area: Coachella Valle fringe -toed lizard (Um aor-
nets), a federal threatened and State endang red species, and flat-tilled
horned lizard (Phrynesoma as callf), a candidate or listing on the.federal and
State•levels. This letter report contains our salts.

SUBJECT: ALBERTSON MARKET IN HIGHWAY 111 LA QUINTA CENTER
Dear Mr. Schoen:
This letter is to verify the modification you requested for Albertson's market is
acceptable. The modification would reduce the landscape setback along the north
property line adjacent to your proposed trash compactor, from nine feet to four feet.
With the, reduction in the landscaped area it will be necessary to construct a six foot
high decorative block wall along the north property line, adjacent to the area which
has been reduced in width. According to your plans, this would be an area
approximately 73 feet long.
Additionally for safety purposes, adjacent to the compactor area you should provide
protection and directional measures to guide traffic around the compactor location
(see attached plans) .
You should revise any applicable plans to reflect the proposed changes.
Additionally, you should see that the appropriate landscaping and other site plans
are modified as necessary to reflect this change.
Should you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to contact the
undersigned.
Very truly yours,
