Consulting Planner Nicole Sauviat Criste presented the staff report, which is on file
in the Design and Development Department. She noted that the City Engineer had
a comment regarding the central driveway and proposed an addition to the
conditions of approval.
City Engineer McKinney stated that because the existing project sits on two
separate parcels which split the driveway, staff would like to add a condition
whereby the applicant enters into a reciprocal access agreement between the two
parcels and that it be recorded against the parcels; or merge the two parcels into
one parcel prior to issuance of a building permit.
Ms. Criste responded to Planning Commissioners’ inquiries regarding density; the
possibility of an onsite resident manager; covered parking; shade trees; noise
levels; location of handicapped-parking spaces; and the Village Master Plan. She

provided per unit in addition to parking spaces located on the east side of the

applicant would be amenable to covering the parking spaces. Mr. Nieto noted
covered parking was not required, would be an additional cost, and would be a
consideration for the owner of the project.
PUBLIC SPEAKER: Rob Capetz, Rancho Mirage, CA – introduced himself as the
project owner and spoke about covered parking versus garage space; felt the
garage space was a bigger benefit to the residents versus covered parking; and
about the use of trees to provide shading for the parking on the east side of the
project.

Club Apartment project due to noise and the impact upon their quality of life.
PUBLIC SPEAKER: Elaine Tadros, La Quinta, CA – spoke in opposition to the Desert
Club Apartments project due to its visual impact; noise; location of the project;
impact on property values; and crime. She expressed the need to allow for
additional time to allow area residents to share their thoughts about the project.
PUBLIC SPEAKER: Tadros Tadros, La Quinta, CA – spoke in opposition to the
Desert Club Apartments project due to the proposed building height; noise; traffic;
parking along Desert Club Drive; loss of privacy; and obstruction of their view.

correspondence in opposition to the Desert Club Apartments project had been
received from Martina Wetmore and had been distributed to the Planning

short-term vacation rental.

STAFF ITEM
TO: Honorable Chair and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Carlos Flores, Senior Planner
DATE: July 9, 2019
SUBJECT: WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS INVENTORY UPDATE
Wireless telecommunication facilities are governed by the requirements of
the La Quinta Municipal Code (LQMC) Chapter 9.170, Wireless
Telecommunication Facilities (facilities). New facilities require approval of a
conditional use permit (CUP) by the Planning Commission and additions to
existing facilities require approval of a minor use permit by Director
Decision. Section 9.170.080 requires a ten-year review by the Planning
Commission. The Planning Commission, on July 25, 2017 and July 24, 2018,
received status reports of approved facilities in the City of La Quinta for
compliance with conditions of approval. Six facilities were out of compliance
during the 2017 report and one facility was out of compliance during the
2018 report.
A total of 17 facilities were constructed and are currently operational and
two additional facilities are currently under construction (Attachment 1).
Staff conducted a visual survey on June 28, 2019 of the facility locations and
reviewed the condition of the facilities for compliance with conditions of
approval. These facilities may be subject to revocation by the Planning
Commission if the operation of the facilities is inconsistent with the
conditions of approval. No facilities were observed to be out of compliance
with the CUP conditions of approval. A summary of the status of the 17
operational and two under construction facilities is provided in the table
below as well as a detailed table in Attachment 2.
