Dear Property Owner:
Widespread concerns over earthquake safety caused the State
Legislature to pass SB547 in 1986. This law requires every
city in our Seismic Zone to create a list of "potentially
hazardous buildings" that identifies certain buildings which
contain walls constructed of brick or other masonry materials
built before earthquake resistant codes were enforced, and
which do not have steel bars embedded in the walls. Such
buildings, commonly called "unreinforced masonry building", may
not withstand earthquakes well, and they have caused many
injuries and deaths in large earthquakes.
The State has encouraged cities to enact local ordinances or
other mitigation programs to reduce the hazard posed by these
buildings. The City of La Quinta is in the process of
developing an ordinance that may require strengthening of your
building. It is expected that this ordinance will be in effect
by January 1, 1990. Before this goes into effect however, public
hearings will be held before the City Council.
The City of La Quinta has completed the identification task,
and has compiled a list of approximately 7 unreinforced
masonry buildings. The building referenced above is on this
list.
Before this list of "potentially hazardous buildings" is
finalized, the City wants to be sure the list is accurate. If
you believe that your building is not an unreinforced masonry
- 1 -

building, or that the building is an unreinforced masonry
building that does not need strengthening or has already been
strengthened against earthquakes during past renovation work,
please check the appropriate box on the attached form, and mail
it within two weeks. Include information to support your
opinion.
Very truly yours,

Dear Ms. Vossler Woodard:
As you know, the City of La Quinta adopted Chapter 8.12 in December
of 1989 that is titled "Earthquake Hazard Reduction In Existing
Buildings". The chapter deals with retrofitting of unreinforced
masonry buildings such as older portions of the Hotel.
In May of 1990 the La,Quinta Hotel was informed that it was subject
to the provisions of Chapter 8.12 and given the following time
schedule for compliance.
Submit engineered plans for seismic retrofit by 1/14/91.
Obtain building permit for retrofit by 5/14/91.
Start construction by 11/14/91
Complete construction by 5/14/93.
On September 4, 1992 an extension was granted to submit the plans
by October 1, 1992. This extension did not extend the time limit
for completion of construction which was scheduled for May of 1993.
In February of 1992 another request for an extension was made by
Michael E. Bradley. There were no specific time frames suggested
in that request.
On May 5, 1992 we met to discuss the retrofit program and the
possibility of an extension. Because of the financial uncertainty
of Landmark Land Company of -California at that time, it was
impossible for you to determine when the retrofit would be
commenced. The ordinance does provide for an extension for
completion of work only if wall anchors are installed per the
engineered plan. This would be a 1 year extension and would allow
the total retrofit to be completed by May of 1994.
At this point no plan has been submitted for approval and if the
process is not started in the very near future completion of the
retrofit or the installation of wall anchors by May of 1993 is very
unlikely.

Section 8.12.060 of the La Quinta Municipal Code states "If the
owner or other person in charge or control of the subject building
fails to comply with any order issued by the Building Official
pursuant to this Chapter within any of the time limits set forth in
8.12.050 the Building Official shall order the entire building
vacated and remain vacated until such order has been complied with.
If compliance with such order has not been accomplished within 90
days after the date the building has been ordered vacated or by
such additional time as may have been granted by the appeal board,
the Building Official may order demolition of the building..."
This action is obviously drastic, but it is provided for in the
ordinance and unless the process of the retrofit is commenced by
the submission of plans for approval in the near future, it may be
required in order to protect the life safety of the hotel
occupants.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this matter.
I cannot emphasize enough the importance of moving ahead with the
retrofit in a timely manner.
Sincerely,
BUILDING AND SAFETY DEPARTMENT
