Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) Awards for Excellence
in Government Finance recognize innovative programs and contributions
to the practice of government finance that exemplify outstanding financial
management. The awards stress practical, documented work that offers
leadership to the profession and promotes improved public finance.
2019 Winner for Exceptionally Well Implemented
GFOA Best Practice:
The City of La Quinta embarked on a nine-month journey to study its financial
situation and create policy recommendations for its reserve levels. After several
months of research and soliciting input from stakeholders, city staff created a long-
range outlook of the city’s financial stability.
La Quinta is in a resort area and relies heavily on discretionary income spending
at its hotels, restaurants, and shops. The city is also near a large fault line, and the
threat of a major earthquake is always a worry. Rapidly rising pension costs are
another concern. The new reserves policy addresses all of these factors, improving
the city’s ability to face the future.
To create its general fund balance and reserves policy, La Quinta benchmarked
its policies against those of other cities and performed a historical analysis of its
current reserve amounts. The city also worked with the city clerk’s risk management
office, which conducted a full analysis of city assets and insurance coverage to
determine natural disaster needs. City staff also used resources including GFOA
publications and best practices.
GFOA recommends that governments establish a formal policy for the level of
unrestricted fund balance that should be maintained in the general fund for
generally accepted accounting practice and budgetary purposes. The guideline
should articulate a framework and process for how the government would
increase or decrease the level of unrestricted fund balance over a specific time
period. In particular, governments should provide broad guidance in the policy
for how resources will be directed to replenish the fund balance if it falls below
the prescribed level.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 7 of 9 JULY 2, 2019
STUDY SESSION
1. DISCUSS FUTURE ART EVENTS IN LA QUINTA
Community Resources Director Escobedo presented the staff report, which is
on file in the Clerk’s Office.
Council discussed the scope of the Request for Proposals (RFP) slated to
publish on July 11, 2019, following the scheduled July 10, 2019, Council
Special Meeting – Community Workshop (Community Workshop) to discuss
and receive community input regarding future art events in La Quinta; the
City’s first priority is that the RFP is specific to the March 5-8, 2019 art event
promoter, if the proposals include additional art events, they would certainly
be entertained, but the focus is on the main art event.
PUBLIC SPEAKER: Gary Heath, La Quinta – presented the research and
analysis he conducted on “What to Name an Art Event” and distributed a
report containing his findings for Council’s consideration, which was made
available to the public, and incorporated in the agenda packet; and noted an
art show name needs to serve as an easily recognizable description of the type
of event it is and where it is located, it should be easy to say or pronounce,
and be visually easy to read in its printed form.
Council commended Mr. Heath for his engagement, effort, and valuable
research regarding the art event name; noted the report will be made
available to the attendees of the July 10, 2019, Community Workshop.
Council discussed it was most appropriate that the first public comments are
with regards to the name of the art event because the name sets the mission
and vision for the event; and importance that the City trademarks the new art
event name, thus, going forward, regardless of who the promoter might be,
the event name is owned by the City and it stays consistent.
Council encouraged attendance at the scheduled Community Workshop for
July 10, 2019, at 5:30 p.m. at La Quinta City Hall Lobby to provide ideas,
comments, and preferences regarding future art events in La Quinta; noted
the City will not produce the art event, but is looking to procure a producer to
organize and hold the event during the set March 5 – 8, 2019, dates due to
the popularity of the former La Quinta Arts Festival; and the City will consider
providing both, the Civic Center Park or the SilverRock Event Site, as options
to hold the event.
Council discussed this is a wonderful opportunity; importance to reach out not
only to the artists, but also to the many volunteers who helped organize the
previous events.
15
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 8 of 9 JULY 2, 2019
PUBLIC SPEAKER: Brian Hanrahan, La Quinta – inquired about the La Quinta
Arts Foundation trademark on the La Quinta Arts Festival name; City Attorney
Ihrke explained the applicable legal restrictions due to the trademark.
Council noted this Study Session item and the following Community Workshop
are kick-off discussions and indicators of the City’s strong commitment to the
legacy of the La Quinta Arts Festival; art is an authentic and indivisible
component of the La Quinta brand; and the cancellation of the La Quinta Arts
Festival presents an opportunity to create an event that is even more dynamic,
legalities will be worked out, but most important is to continue the art legacy
of the City, and produce an event that honors the hard work and efforts of the
many artists and volunteers who built the reputation of the event over the
years; the positive feedback being received by the City, not only from the local
community, but from artists all over the country; and the SilverRock Event
Site provides an opportunity to grow the event, and hold many other types of
art events as well, such as digital art, performance art, etc. that will
complement the main art event.
Council discussed a similar change of events occurred about three years ago
when Art Under the Umbrellas event was cancelled, which triggered the launch
of the Art on Main Street event which has been extremely successful.
Council encouraged peoples to provide written comments should they be
unavailable to attend the Community Workshop next week.
PUBLIC HEARINGS – None

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: July 16, 2019
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: RECEIVE AND FILE REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE REPORT
DATED MAY 31, 2019
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file revenue and expenditure report dated May 31, 2019.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•The report summarizes the City’s year-to-date (YTD) revenues and
period expenditures for May 2019 (Attachment 1).
•These reports are also reviewed by the Financial Advisory Commission.
FISCAL IMPACT - None
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Below is a summary of the column headers used on the Revenue and
Expenditure Summary Reports:
Original Total Budget – represents revenue and expenditure budgets the
Council adopted in June 2018 for fiscal year 2018/19.
Current Total Budget – represents original adopted budgets plus any
carryovers (typically associated with long-term Capital Improvement
Projects (CIP) from the prior fiscal year) and any Council approved
budget amendments from throughout the year.
Period Activity – represents actual revenues received and expenditures
outlaid in the reporting month.
Fiscal Activity – represents actual revenues received and expenditures
outlaid YTD.
Variance Favorable/(Unfavorable) - represents the dollar difference
between YTD collections/expenditures and the current budgeted
amount.
Percent Used – represents the percentage activity as compared to
budget YTD.
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 2
19
The revenue report includes revenues and transfers into funds from other
funds (income items). Revenues are not received uniformly throughout the
year, resulting in peaks and valleys. For example, large property tax
payments are usually received in December and May. Similarly,
Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund payments are typically received in
January and June. Any timing imbalance of revenue receipts versus
expenditures is funded from the City’s cash flow reserve.
The expenditure report includes expenditures and transfers out to other funds.
Unlike revenues, expenditures are more likely to be consistent from month to
month. However, large debt service payments or CIP expenditures can cause
swings.

City of La Quinta
CITY COUNCIL MEETING: July 16, 2019
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE 2019/20 SALARY
SCHEDULE AND AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY OF LA QUINTA AND THE LA QUINTA
CITY EMPLOYEES’ ASSOCIATION REAFFIRMING THE HEALTH BENEFIT CAP OF
$1,709 PER EMPLOYEE PER MONTH
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution to approve the 2019/20 Salary Schedule, and Amendment
No. 2 to the Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the La Quinta
City Employees’ Association reaffirming the health benefit cap of $1,709 per
employee per month, effective June 22, 2019.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the La Quinta
City Employees’ Association (LQCEA) provides for a meet and confer
reopener to review insurance coverage for the next calendar year.
The City and LQCEA met and considered the 2019 Health Premium
adjustments which shows a decrease for employees.
The recommended Amendment No. 2 is the result of the reopener, which
includes a salary schedule increase of 0.30% and continuation of the
health benefit cap at $1,709 per month per employee.
A summary of the economic benefits consisting of the 2019/20 salary
schedule and health benefits will be verbally announced in accordance
with Government Code Section 54953(c)(3) prior to Council taking any
action, for the City’s executives as defined by State law [subdivision (d)
of Section 3511.1].
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2019/20 cost to implement the 0.30% salary schedule adjustment for
represented membership would be approximately $10,000. The cost to
implement this same adjustment for non-represented management, contract,
and confidential employees would be approximately $10,000. Funds are
available in the Contingency for Staffing account (101-1007-50115).
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 4

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
LQCEA and the City entered into a three-year MOU in June 2018. Section 2 of
that MOU provides for an annual meet and confer reopener to determine an
appropriate salary schedule increase based on the World at Work (WOW) Salary
Budget Survey. The survey for 2018 identifies an increase of 2.0%. During the
last market survey performed by Gallagher & Associates, a projected increase
of 1.7% was applied to the City’s salary schedule. In order for the City to be
current with the WOW survey, a 0.30% increase to the current salary schedule
is required.
Since 1984, the City has provided a health benefit amount to employees to
cover medical, dental, and vision insurance. The board of directors for CalPERS
sets the medical rates each year for all California cities. In June 2019, Staff
received the new medical insurance rates, which become effective January 1,
2020. The cost for the City sponsored family plan, Anthem HMO Select, has
decreased for 2020. On July 3, 2019, the LQCEA’s negotiating team agreed to
continue the current health cap of $1,709 per month per employee for 2020.
Except as modified by this Amendment No. 2, the MOU remains in full force and
effect according to its terms.
ALTERNATIVES
The LQCEA and City have worked in the true spirit of cooperation to equitably
serve the needs of both parties. Approval of Amendment No. 2 will conclude a
successful labor negotiation process. Staff does not recommend any
alternatives.

City of La Quinta
CITY COUNCIL MEETING: July 16, 2019
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROPRIATE $39,600 AND AUTHORIZE CALLE TAMPICO
AND PARK AVENUE GUARD RAIL BARRIER IMPROVEMENTS
RECOMMENDATION
Appropriate $39,600 and authorize Calle Tampico and Park Avenue guard rail
barrier improvements.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•Calle Tampico and Park Avenue intersection has experienced several
vehicles leaving the roadway and impacting the Citrus Community
Association (HOA) wall.
•At the June 18 Council meeting, Staff presented several options which
included a guard rail (Option C) to prevent vehicles from hitting the HOA
wall. The HOA representatives prefer a guard rail.
•Council directed Staff to review the guard rail design with the HOA
representatives and return to the Council for project approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the guard rail improvements is estimated to be $39,600. Funds
will be appropriated to 201-7003-60431 (Materials/Supplies) from Unassigned
Savings in the Gas Tax Fund (currently $300,000) to design, purchase and
install the guard rail improvements.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Recently, Council and staff heard from several citizens expressing concerns
about the intersection of Calle Tampico and Park Avenue. Specifically, this
intersection has experienced several vehicles leaving the roadway and
crashing into or through the HOA wall just east of the sidewalk. The citizens
have requested the City provide some type of barrier to prevent vehicles from
hitting the HOA wall.
Calle Tampico is a local east-west collector roadway with a posted speed limit
of 35 mph. The intersection of Park Avenue forms a “L” shaped 90-degree
curve to the left when traveling eastbound on Calle Tampico. There are
currently warning signs posted in advance of the curve which indicate a “left
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1

curve” is approaching and advisory 10 mph speed warning signs. At the curve
itself, there are several “chevron” signs and a “left arrow” sign to guide
motorists around the curve. The street has a painted centerline and raised
reflective pavement markers to provide additional positive guidance, along
with striped bike/golf cart lanes. There is a 5-foot wide sidewalk located behind
the curb with a landscape area between the sidewalk and the HOA’s wall. The
distance between the sidewalk and HOA wall is approximately 8 feet.
At the June 18th Council meeting, staff presented options to improve the
situation in the intersection, with each designed to assist in reducing the
chances of the HOA wall being struck. The options included installation of all-
way stop signs (Option A), concrete K railing (Option B), guard rail (Option
C), safety and landscape lighting (Option D), palm trees (Option E), or large
rocks or boulders (Option F). Bill Jones, Citrus HOA President, and Robert
Kroll, Citrus resident, attended the meeting and both expressed that Option C
is the preferred option. No action was taken at the meeting. Council directed
staff and Citrus HOA representatives to meet, review the guard rail option,
and return to the Council with additional information.
Staff, in consultation with the City’s consultant traffic engineer Steve Libring,
met with HOA representatives and provided more specifics on the design of
the guard rail. It would be 228 feet in length, 36-38 inches in height, and
placed on the top of the existing street curb and span along the curve and
entirely on the public right-of-way (Attachment 1). Placement of the guard
rail on top of the street curb is the best location as it would reduce the chances
of vehicles striking the sidewalk, landscaping (trees), and the HOA wall.
Reflectors would be placed on the guard rail to help guide vehicles during the
night time along the street curve. Photo-simulations of the guard rail at day
time and at night time are provided as Attachment 2 and Attachment 3.
The estimated project cost is as follows:
Guard rail $30,000
Contingency $3,000
Subtotal $33,000
Design (10%) $3,300
Inspection (10%) $3,300
Total Project Cost $39,600
The HOA representatives agreed the guard rail was the preferred option to
improve the intersection situation and reduce the chances of the HOA wall
being struck. Citrus HOA President Bill Jones did not indicate that the HOA
would contribute to a share of the cost for installation of the guard rail.

ALTERNATIVES
Council could choose to install a different option or not make improvements
at this time.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: July 16, 2019
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION TO APPROVE UPDATES TO THE CITY’S
USER AND REGULATORY MASTER FEE SCHEDULE
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution to approve updates to the City’s User and Regulatory Master
Fee Schedule.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Since 2013, the City annually reviews user and regulatory fees and adjusts
them based on cost of service findings and to reflect annual Consumer Price
Index (CPI) increases.
Most fees in the proposed Master Fee Schedule (MFS) are proposed to
increase by 1%. Approximately 97% of the fees in the City’s fee schedule
are proposed to remain unchanged or increase by 1%.
Other refinements were made to the fee schedule to improve the correlation
between the cost of providing services and the fees imposed to recover
those costs. These refinements are summarized in the Background/Analysis
section of this report and detailed in Attachment 1.
The City retained ClearSource Financial Consulting (ClearSource) for this
update. ClearSource has assisted the City with fee updates since 2013.
If adopted, the proposed MFS would take effect September 16, 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT
Based on historical revenues and permit volume, the new fee schedule may
generate an additional $250,000 in annual revenue.
PUBLIC HEARING ITEM NO. 1
69
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Since 2013, the City annually reviews and adjusts fees to reflect annual CPI
increases, and every five years conducts a comprehensive fee study.
ClearSource was hired to conduct the analysis of the MFS, which formally
documents charges for various user and regulatory services provided by the City.
The services for which the City imposes a user or regulatory fee typically derive
from an individual person or entity’s action, request, or behavior. Therefore,
except in cases where there is an overwhelming public benefit generated by the
City’s involvement in the individual action, a fee for service ensures that the
individual bears most, if not all, of the cost incurred by the City to provide that
service. When a fee targets “100% or full cost recovery,” the individual is bearing
the entirety of the cost. When a fee targets less than full cost recovery, another
City revenue source – in most cases, the General Fund – subsidizes the
individualized activity.
Development Fees
The City currently uses a uniform hourly rate to set all development related fees.
The uniform rate is tied to the Building Division’s calculated rate of $161 per
hour. The existing rate is $160. This means that the majority of fees are
proposed to increase by 1% (the difference between $160 and $161). The chart
below illustrates the relationship between the various disciplines and the uniform
hourly rate.

Public Works $160 $179 $161 90%
Planning $160 $203 $161 79%
In addition to the change in the hourly rate, service time estimates were
reviewed to ensure time estimates correlate to the services provided (i.e. more
intensive services require more service time than less intensive services). Based
on this analysis, adjustments to several fee categories are proposed to enhance
the nexus between service provided and fees collected. Recalibrating the hourly
rate for service and adjusting service times results in the following revenue and
cost recovery changes.

The proposed fee schedule continues to subsidize various permit types:
Standard - Minor Temporary Use Permits – proposed fee is $400 (20%
cost recovery)
Sign Permit – proposed fee is $355 (50% cost recovery)
Director’s Determination – proposed fee is $405 (50% cost recovery)
Certificate of Compliance – proposed fee is $505 (50% cost recovery)
Zoning Letter (Basic Property Information) – Proposed fee is $263 (52%
cost recovery)
Historical Landmark Designation or Certificate of Appropriateness –
proposed fee is $1,320 (50% cost recovery)
PM10 Plan Review – proposed cost recovery is 35%
Residential Driveway Encroachment – proposed fee is $175 (33% cost
recovery)
Traffic Control Review for Project Up to 10 Days (approximately 50% cost
recovery)
New fees are recommended to recover the City’s cost of:
Zoning conformance review at the building permit stage (Planning plan
check)
Pre-application review (50% of pre-application fee will be credited toward
entitlement application fee)
Expedited review fee for various planning applications
Short-Term Rental Permit Fees
The current annual fee for permit issuance is $105 per year. The proposed
annual fee is $200 per year. The proposed fee represents recovery of 25% of
the current estimated costs of providing these services, and is in-line with fees
collected by other agencies for similar permits:
72
Facility Rental Fee for the SilverRock Resort Event Site
Proposed rental fees range from $250 per hour for non-profit organizations to
$300 per hour for all other renters with a four-hour minimum rental period.
AGENCY AND PUBLIC REVIEW
Notice regarding the proposed fee changes was provided in accordance with
Government Code Sections 66016 and 6062(a). Interested stakeholders, the
Building Industry Association of Southern California – Riverside County Chapter
(BIA), Desert Valleys Builders Association (DVBA), and the Southern California
Gas Company (SC Gas) received notice of these recommendations on July 1,
2019. Public Hearing notices were published in The Desert Sun on July 5 and
July 12, 2019.
On July 11, 2019, the DVBA and SC Gas confirmed their attendance at the July
16, 2019 Council meeting, and stated they are still reviewing the documents and
will provide comments at the meeting; the BIA submitted a comment letter,
included as Attachment 2, and Staff will reach out to BIA representatives to
discuss and comment on their analysis.
ALTERNATIVES
Council may elect not to adjust fees or to adopt a higher or lower percentage of
cost recovery for fees.

CLEARSOURCE REPORT TO THE CITY OF LA QUINTA 2
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
STUDY OVERVIEW
The City of La Quinta has completed a User and Regulatory Fee Study. California cities regularly conduct
these studies to justify fee amounts imposed and to optimize the overall portfolio of revenues available
to the municipality to fund its services.
Industry practice and fiscal conditions in the state have led most cities to link cost recovery for services
of individual action, cause, or benefit to that same individual through user fee revenue, relieving the
agency’s general revenues as much as possible for use toward services of broader community benefit.
Recovering the costs of providing fee-related services directly influences the City’s fiscal health and
increases the City’s ability to meet the service level expectations of fee payers.
The services for which the City imposes a user or regulatory fee typically derive from an individual
person or entity’s action, request, or behavior. Therefore, except in cases where there is an
overwhelming public benefit generated by the City’s involvement in the individual action, a fee for
service ensures that the individual bears most, if not all, of the cost incurred by the City to provide
that service. When a fee targets “100% or full cost recovery,” the individual is bearing the entirety of the
cost. When a fee targets less than full cost recovery, another City revenue source – in most cases, the
General Fund – subsidizes the individualized activity.
USER AND REGULATORY FEES
The City derives its annual revenue from a number of sources. These include, but are not limited to,
property taxes, transient occupancy taxes, sales taxes, franchise fees, fines, rents, and user and
regulatory fees. User and regulatory fees are intended to cover all, or a portion of, the costs incurred
by the City for providing fee-related services and activities that are not otherwise provided to those
not paying the fee.
California law provides guidance regarding the amounts the City may charge for fee-related services and
activities. Specifically, in order to avoid being considered taxes, the fees charged shall not exceed the
estimated reasonable cost of providing the services, activities, or materials for which fees are charged.
At its conclusion, this User and Regulatory Fee Study proposes for City Council review and consideration
at public hearing a new Master Fee Schedule for application in Fiscal Year 2019-2020 and continued
update in subsequent years.
SCOPE OF STUDY
Key tasks expected by the City of this Comprehensive User Fee Study included the following:
Identify the full cost of providing fee-related services
Determine current cost recovery levels
118
CLEARSOURCE REPORT TO THE CITY OF LA QUINTA 3
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Examine existing fee calculation methodologies and modify, if necessary, to more closely align
calculation methodology to the cost of services being provided
Provide an updated schedule of fees for City Council consideration
Compare current and proposed fees to those imposed by neighboring communities
Estimate anticipated revenue impacts of modifying fees
Deliver an updated schedule of fees after Council review and adoption of any fee modifications
KEY FINDINGS
Development Services Fees Cost Recovery Policy and Practice
Since 2013 the City has used a uniform hourly rate for calculating development services fees. The
following table identifies the fully-burdened hourly rates calculated as part of the study, and targeted
hourly rates for service that assume continued use of the City’s policy of setting fees using a uniform
hourly rate.
EXHIBIT 1 | UNIFORM HOURLY RATE AND FULLY-BURDENED HOURLY RATES
If the City continues its policy of setting fees using a uniform hourly rate, most of the fees examined in
this study will increase by 1%.
EXHIBIT 2 | CURRENT AND PROPOSED HOURLY RATES

CLEARSOURCE REPORT TO THE CITY OF LA QUINTA 4
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Examples of benefits and drawbacks of continuing the City’s current fee setting policy
Benefits:
•Ease of administering deposits that involve review from multiple departments
•Ease of explaining fee calculations to interested parties
•Uniform pattern of fee increases provides consistency to the development community
Drawbacks:
•Planning fees, Public Works fees, and Fire Prevention fees are set to recover less than the full
costs of service. Since fees do not recover costs, other City resources are required to fund these
services. Typically, any shortfalls are covered by the General Fund.
•Use of General Fund resources to cover services that provide specific benefits
•Inconsistent treatment of differing development service categories (e.g. recover 100% of costs of
building services and less than 100% of costs of planning services).
Revenue Impacts of Proposed Fee Changes
Forecasting revenue impacts from proposed fee changes is a challenging and subjective exercise, due to
annual changes in development volume and project types. However, the table below provides a rough
estimate of anticipated revenue impacts of the fee changes proposed assuming continued use of the
City’s policy of setting fees using a uniform hourly rate. The estimates assume similar development
patterns as those experienced over the previous two years at the City.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Overview of Significant Modifications Proposed
The following list highlights significant modifications proposed to enhance cost recovery levels for
various services. The proposed changes are based on a combination of updated service time estimates
and/or increases in proposed cost recovery levels. The proposed changes have been reviewed against
neighboring communities. If the changes are implemented, the City’s development fees for new
construction projects and short-term vacation rental permit application fees will remain in-line with
regional neighbors

PROJECT ORIENTATION
REASON FOR STUDY
Cities derive annual revenue from a number of sources. These include, but are not limited to, property
taxes, transient occupancy taxes, sales taxes, franchise fees, fines, rents, and user and regulatory fees.
User and regulatory fees are intended to cover all, or a portion of, the costs incurred by a city for
providing fee-related services and activities that are not otherwise provided to those not paying the fee.
California cities regularly conduct comprehensive fee studies to justify fee amounts imposed and to
optimize the overall body of revenues available to the municipality to fund its services. Widespread
industry practice and fiscal conditions in the state have led most cities to link cost recovery for services
of individual action, cause, or benefit to that individual through user fee revenue, relieving the agency’s
general revenues for services of broader community benefit.
PREVAILING GUIDANCE
The objectives of this study, the methodology used to complete the study, and the formulation of
outcomes and recommendations for future consideration were significantly influenced by Article 13C of
the California Constitution and Section 66014 of the California Government Code.
Article 13C states that the local government bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the
evidence that a levy, charge, or other exaction is not a tax, that the amount is no more than necessary to
cover the reasonable costs of the governmental activity, and that the manner in which those costs are
allocated to a payer bear a fair or reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits
received from, the governmental activity. Additionally, Article 13C identifies the following as items that
are not defined as taxes:
A charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payer that is
not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local
government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege.
A charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payer that is
not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local
government of providing the service or product.
A charge imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to a local government for issuing licenses and
permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits, enforcing agricultural marketing orders,
and the administrative enforcement and adjudication thereof.
A charge imposed for entrance to or use of local government property, or the purchase, rental, or
lease of local government property.
A fine, penalty, or other monetary charge imposed by the judicial branch of government or a local
government, as a result of a violation of law.
A charge imposed as a condition of property development.
Assessments and property-related fees imposed in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII D.
123
CLEARSOURCE REPORT TO THE CITY OF LA QUINTA 8
PROJECT ORIENTATION
Section 66014(a) of the California Government Code includes the following, “Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, when a local agency charges fees for zoning variances; zoning changes; use permits;
building inspections; building permits; …the processing of maps under the provisions of the Subdivision
Map Act…; or planning services…; those fees may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing
the service for which the fee is charged, unless a question regarding the amount of the fee charged in
excess of the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services or materials is submitted to, and
approved by, a popular vote of two-thirds of those electors voting on the issue.
The outcomes and recommendations of the study are intended to comply with applicable federal, state,
and local laws including providing confirmation that the proposed fees (“charges”) recommended as a
result of this study are not taxes as defined in Article 13C of the California Constitution and that the
proposed fees are no more than necessary to the cover the reasonable costs of the City’s activities and
services addressed in the fees. Additionally, this report is intended to show that the manner in which
the costs are allocated to a payer bear a fair and reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or
benefits received from the activities and services provided by the City.
METHODOLOGY AND DATA SOURCES
This study calculated the estimated reasonable cost of providing various fee-related services across the
City organization. Generally, the estimated reasonable cost of providing the fee-related services and
activities examined in this study can be calculated as the product of the composite fully-burdened
hourly labor rate of the division responsible for providing services and the estimated labor time required
to process a typical request for service.
The composite fully-burdened hourly rates calculated in this study are based on the estimated annual
hours spent providing fee related services, and estimated labor, services and supplies, and citywide
overhead expenditures, sourced as follows:
Estimated annual hours spent providing fee related services were developed based on responses
received from multiple interviews and targeted questionnaires.
Labor expenditures for in-house personnel were based on budgeted salary and benefits
expenditures.
All other services and supplies expenditures were based on budgeted expenditures.
For purposes of estimating the full cost of service, a reasonable, conservative, allocation of central
service costs to direct service departments was developed that yields Citywide indirect rates to
inform this analysis.
Estimated labor times were developed based on responses received from multiple interviews and
targeted questionnaires of the staff primarily responsible for the provision of services examined in
the study. Commonly used industry data also aided in the development of time estimates and
proposed fee structures.
124
CLEARSOURCE REPORT TO THE CITY OF LA QUINTA 9
PROJECT ORIENTATION
Once cost of service levels are identified, the City may use this information to inform targeted cost
recovery from fees. Fees set at the cost of service target full cost recovery. Fees set at any amount less
than the cost of service target less than full cost recovery.
An illustration of the methods used in this analysis is shown below.

BUILDING FEES
BUILDING FEES
Building Division staff provide plan check and inspection services for all new construction, remodels, and
additions throughout La Quinta, enforcing the provisions of the California Building Standards Code.
Additionally, the Division serves as a primary building code resource to contractors, architects,
engineers, developers, business owners, and homeowners in La Quinta.
Roughly 125 individual building fee categories were examined. Significant findings include:
•Current cost recovery is roughly 100% for the majority of fees examined. However, the City’s
current fees for new construction projects recover less than the City’s full cost of service.
•The calculated fully-burdened rate for fee-related building services is $161 per hour.
•Proposed fees target recovery of 100% of the estimated cost of service.
•Permit fees for new construction projects have been recalibrated to reflect the City’s cost of
performing required inspections. Fees remain in line with similar fees collected by neighboring
agencies in the region.1
•The fee schedule has been updated to reflect applicable fees for partial inspection requests and
excess plan reviews.

126
CLEARSOURCE REPORT TO THE CITY OF LA QUINTA 11
BUILDING FEES
•If the proposed fees are adopted, the estimated revenue impact of the proposed changes is
roughly $55,000. This change is the result of increasing most fees by 1% and increasing new
construction fees to reflect the City’s cost of service.
PLANNING FEES
The Planning Division leads the City’s current and long-range planning efforts, including processing and
review of applications for development within the City of La Quinta. The Division provides staff support
to the Planning Commission and City Council through the processing of development permits, zoning
text amendments, use permits, and other land division entitlements.
Roughly 60 individual planning fee categories were examined as part of the study. Significant findings
include:
•The cost of service analysis showed the City’s current fees recover less than the estimated cost of
service for fee-related planning services. The causes of the under-recovery are two-fold. They
are identified below:
o The use of a uniform hourly rate across all development units results in under-recovery
of the costs of providing Planning services
o Proposed fees for certain project types are set at fixed levels that result in reduced cost
recovery levels
•The calculated fully-burdened rate for fee-related planning services is $203 per hour. The
targeted rate used for fee setting purposes is $161 per hour.
•The majority of proposed fees target recovery of 79% of the estimated cost of service.
•Proposed fees for certain project types are set at fixed levels that result in cost recovery levels
less than 79%. The services are:
o Standard-type Minor Temporary Use Permits – Proposed fee is $400 (20% cost recovery)
o Sign Permit – Proposed fee is $355 (50% cost recovery)
o Director’s Determination – Proposed fee is $405 (50% cost recovery)
o Certificate of Compliance – Proposed fee is $505 (50% cost recovery)
o Zoning Letter (Basic Property Information) – Proposed fee is $263 (52% cost recovery)
o Historical Landmark Designation or Certificate of Appropriateness – Proposed fee is
$1,320 (50% cost recovery)
127
CLEARSOURCE REPORT TO THE CITY OF LA QUINTA 12
PLANNING FEES
•New fees are recommended to recover the City’s cost of:
o Zoning conformance review at the building permit stage (Planning Plan Check)
o Pre-application review (50% of pre-application fee will be credited toward entitlement
application fee).
PUBLIC WORKS FEES
The Public Works Department provides numerous fee-related private development services. The broad
categories of these services include, but are not limited to, improvement plan check, map check, permits
(grading, encroachment, and driveway), and land action review (i.e. dedications, parcel mergers).
More than 50 individual public works fee categories were examined. Significant findings include:
•Current cost recovery is roughly 89% for the majority of fees examined. This under-recovery is
primarily the result of setting fees using a uniform hourly rate for all development functions rather
than the fully-burdened hourly rate for public works fee-related services.
•The calculated fully-burdened rate for fee-related planning services is $179 per hour. The
targeted rate used for fee setting purposes is $161 per hour.
•The majority of proposed fees target recovery of 90% of the estimated cost of service.
•Inspection fees for grading, improvement review, and various encroachment permits have been
recalibrated to reflect current service levels. Fees remain in line with similar fees collected by
neighboring agencies in the region.2

SHORT TERM RENTAL
SHORT TERM RENTAL PERMIT FEES
The City regulates short-term vacation rentals of private residences within the City. Although short-
term rentals are subject to payment of transient occupancy taxes, the only costs considered in this study
are the regulatory costs associated with the short-term vacation rental program, including, but not
limited to, assisting short-term renters with the vacation rental registration process and minimizing the
negative secondary effects of such use on surrounding residential neighborhoods through active
education and code enforcement efforts. The City’s program continues to evolve. It has experienced
tremendous growth over the last several years and significant resources are required to regulate and
administer the program.
The current annual fee for permit issuance is $105 per year. The proposed annual fee is $200 per year.
The proposed fee represents recovery of 25% of the current estimated costs of providing these services.
The proposed fee is in-line with fees collected by other agencies for similar permits:

IMPLEMENTATION
CONSIDERATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION
If the City decides to adopt or otherwise utilize outcomes generated through this study, it should:
Update Systems for Fee Outcomes – Ensure that City staff begin using updated fees and associated
outcomes once the Master Fee Schedule becomes effective. Values should be included in all official
fee schedules used throughout the City (e.g., departmental pamphlets, counter schedules, and
online information). Additionally, ensure collections processes are updated, which may include
coding in billing systems and training for personnel who handle fees directly with the public.
Actively Monitor the Use of Fees – In order to recover accurate and eligible amounts expected, the
City should be diligent about tracking time to projects and ensuring fees are applied in the correct
amount and using the correct and intended basis.
Monitor Feedback and Permit Statistics – Monitor permit and application volume and applicant
feedback to determine if fee modifications are resulting in any unanticipated changes in project
frequency and to increase the level of detail available for revenue forecasting.
Annually Review and Adjust Fee Values – In order to generally maintain pace with regional cost
inflation and/or the City’s salary cost inflation, the City should review and potentially adjust its fees
on an annual basis. A commonly used, reasonable inflation index is the annual change in the all-
urban Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the region.
Periodically Perform Comprehensive Analysis – A comprehensive fee study should be conducted
every three to five years to ensure fee levels remain at or below legal limits and are consistent with
evolving service practices and local conditions.

APPENDIX
COST OF SERVICE ANALYSIS AND FEE SCHEDULES
The appendix provides detailed analytical findings from the study, including the amount of cost, or
estimated cost, required to provide the services for which the fee or service charge is levied, and the
revenue sources anticipated to provide the service, including General Fund revenues. For any fees
targeted to recover less than 100% of the estimated reasonable cost of service, it is anticipated that
General Fund revenues of the City will fund the difference between the targeted recovery level and
100% recovery of the estimated cost of service. These amounts are identified in the Working Version of
the Master Fee Schedule included in this appendix. Additionally, the appendix includes the Master Fee
Schedule proposed for adoption by the City Council.

BIA Comments concerning The City of La Quinta:
Building Permit Valuation and MEP Issues
Part 1
July 11, 2019
Executive Summary
• BIA recommends that the City of La Quinta convert from a valuation-based fee
structure to a time-based fee structure designed for receiving consideration (fees)
based upon a fair amount of time spent servicing applications for building times for a
reasonable Fully Burdened Hourly Rate (FBHR).
• BIA recommends that the City of La Quinta adopt a fee schedule for new (Single
Family Dwelling (SFD) Residential based upon fixed rates determined by square
footage categories reflecting permit processing, plan check, and reasonable
inspection times multiplied by FBHR like many other cities rather than by building
permit square-foot multipliers and valuation-tables.
• BIA recommends that the City of La Quinta charge only a single building permit fee
(‘Rescombo’) and a separate plan check fee for Single Family Residential (SFR)
units and not charge separate plan check and permit fees for mechanical, electrical,
plumbing (MEP), and structural activities.
• BIA recommends that the City of La Quinta set up a revolving account for building
department service fees that carry balances from one fiscal year to the next since
many fees paid in one fiscal year need to cover services in the next.
The City of La Quinta and ClearSource’s 2019 User and Regulatory Fee Study
The City of La Quinta adopted Resolution No. 2017-041 on August 1, 2017, which
enables their Master Fee Schedule. ClearSource now proposes a revised Master Fee
Schedule. Both Master Fee Schedules provide a schedule of fees for building
department services such as plan check and inspection for a variety of occupancies,
including fees for new single-family detached residential dwellings. Resolution No.
2017-041 implements valuation as one of the procedures for calculating building plan
check and permit fees for new construction. Both Master Fee Schedules require tables
known as Building Valuation Data, which provides the square-foot multipliers for
determining valuation for buildings of different o ccupancies for conversion into the
valuation into a building permit fee and a plan check fee
The City’s current and proposed Master Fee Schedule for their Building Department’s
service fees continue with a table of miscellaneous fixed fees, and a list of mechanical,
electrical, and plumbing fees (MEP), mostly based upon the number of MEP
components.

For the purposes of this analysis BIA-Riverside opposes only those fees applicable to
new single-family detached residential dwellings that are imposed upon applications for
building plan check and building permits based upon valuation and separate MEP1
permits.
The Issue concerning Valuation as a Methodology for determining Building Plan Check
and Building Permit Fees
Willdan Financial Services provided the following statement in one of their user fee
studies for another local agency which explains the use of project valuation:
Exhibit A
“For the Building Permit fees, valuation is used as a proxy for measuring the
amount of effort needed to provide services on a case-by-case basis. This
method is an industry standard widely used by other jurisdictions to evaluate the
cost of providing service. It is generally understood that the larger and more
complex a project is, more time and effort that is required t o provide the service.
Project valuation also follows that trend, and so by using a combination of either
project valuation or historical revenue figures along with a multiplier or cost
recovery analysis for historical and anticipated future trends, current cost
recovery along with variability in charges due to project type and scale is
determined.”
However, BIA-Riverside has issues with the City of La Quinta’s use of the ‘Building
Permit Valuation’ schedule to determine Building Department service fees and the
simultaneous charge of MEP fees. Below, BIA will focus on this issue as applied to
Single-Family Detached residential units in order to narrow this review although the
concepts may apply to other occupancies.
Found in the City’s website the City provided a handout titled Building Valuation Data
dated March 5, 2009 under the web page that states that the information was
“[tr]anscribed from Building Standards, July-August 1994 and adapted to 2007 CBC
Types of Construction: http://www.laquintaca.gov/home/showdocument?id=6982

Exhibit B
Although the City’s website provided the above Building Valuation Data which provides
the square-foot cost per occupancy, the adopted Master Fee Schedule and the MEP fee
tables, these tables were derived from the International Conference of Building Officials
(ICBO) and the Building International Code Council’s (ICC) publications. The Master
Fee Schedule was derived from Table 1-A which was initially published in the Uniform
Building Code (UBC) and lastly, in the 1997 Uniform Administrative Code (UAC) as
Table 3-A. Except for the added notation to multiply the total fees derived from the
Table 1-A by a defined percentage, the table printed in the fee schedule is identical to
Table No. 3-A published in the 1997 UAC. The MEP fee schedule also follows the
Tables Nos. 3-B through 3-D as printed in the 1997 UAC, except these tables are
printed with the City’s revised MEP fees.
The BIA-Riverside expresses its concern over the Building Department’s use of
valuation to determine their base building permit fees and MEP fees as per “Table Nos.
3-A through 3-D of the Uniform Administrative Codes published in the 1990s2. ICC
2 This table appears as Table 1-A in the Uniform Building Code.
285
The City of La Quinta: Building Permit Valuation and MEP Issues

continued printing these tables in their International Building Code, which is the model
code for the California Building Code. The City of La Quinta may have mistakenly
adopted modifications of these fee tables into their respective fee schedules when they
adopted Ordinances Nos. 517 and 551, which adopted the California Building
Standards Code, Title 24 CRR.
The City of La Quinta may have unintentionally adopted the administrative sections
printed in the California Building Code by ICC, but not adopted by the California Building
Standards Commission or the California Department of Housing and Community
Development. Subsequently, it appears that the City of La Quinta adopted the following
sections, Exhibits C and D, into their Municipal Code by reference since they are printed
as part of the 2016 California Building Code, Chapter 1, Division II:
Exhibit C
286
The City of La Quinta: Building Permit Valuation and MEP Issues

Exhibit D
However, the effective code section in the California Building Code concerning fees for
building department services appears in Section 1.8.4.2, below:

Exhibit E
Components of Valuation Methodology in determining building service fees
The City of La Quinta does not describe the methodology of how to the apply the use of
their ‘Building Permit Valuation Data’ square-foot modifiers into their valuation tables
provided in their Master Fee Schedule to determine SFR building plan check and
building permit fees. The Report by ClearSource does not provide ‘Building Permit
Valuation Data’ a description of occupancy types or any square-foot modifiers so a
reader may not determine the valuation of their building project.
Implementing ‘Valuation Methodology’ in California as per ICC in their Building
Valuation Data in determining building service (permit) fees involves numerous steps:
1. Determine ‘Occupancy and Type of Occupancy’ based upon the California
Building Standards Code (Title 24, California Code of Regulations) descriptions.
For the purpose of determining the SFR square foot construction cost, ICC
provides the option of R-3, VA or VB. In the Building Valuation Data published
288
The City of La Quinta: Building Permit Valuation and MEP Issues
7
by ICC, determine the ‘Cost per Square Foot, Average’ by ‘Occupancy and Type
of Occupancy’.3
For the purpose of determining the SFR square foot construction cost, ICC
provides the option of R-3, Residential One-and Two Family, Types V-A and V-
B.4 ‘Exhibit H’ below provides a description of the Types V-A and V-B. Most
SFRs in California are Type V-B.
Exhibit F
2. ICC describes the Permit Valuation Multiplier: 5

3. ICC provides the formula for determining the ‘permit fee multiplier’. The
calculation and use of this definition of the ‘permit fee multiplier’ as applied in the

4. ICC explains the calculation of the permit fee by multiplying the building gross
area times the square foot construction cost times the permit fee multiplier.
Exhibit I
ICC provides the formula for determining the ‘permit fee multiplier’ as dividing the
building department’s revenue by the total annual construction value. The permit
fee is then calculated by multiplying the gross area times the square foot cost
divided by the permit fee multiplier. The building valuation data table provides
the square foot cost for various types of occupancies. Local agencies rarely use
the permit modifier as defined by ICC, rather they use square footage cost
provided by ICC in their Building Valuation Data table, as updated twice a year.
5. Multiply the square footage of the building project by the ‘Cost per Square Foot’
to arrive at the estimated valuation of the building project.
Note that the City of La Quinta’s 2019 User and Regulatory Fee Study does not
contain any square foot data relating to residential permit costs, nor does the
Study make any reference to the Building Valuation Data tables provided above
or published by ICC.
The ICC procedure above differs from those local agencies that adopt the UAC
Table 3-A or UBC valuation Table 1-A. Many building departments do not follow
the directive by the governing body when required to implement the Building
Valuation Data tables, but only partially follow the ICC methodology when they
apply the square footage of the building’s occupancy type to create valuation and
apply it to the valuation tables published by ICBO in their UAC and UBC , or ICC
in their IBC. This action creates an internal conflict or a duplication of processes
between the directive and the process, and thereby voids the calculations, and
possibly the permit(s) themselves. Use of these tables require that the building
department staff apply the ‘Total Valuation” to the corresponding categories on
the left side of the table and apply the formula on the right side to the valuation to
determine the building permit fee.
Some local agencies such as the City of La Quinta modify the fee amounts in the
two columns to reflect their current fees in their adopted Master Fee Schedule
and that schedule proposed by ClearSource.
290

Exhibit J
The ICC Building Valuation Data, February 2019, also states that permit valuation
contains the “average” cost that include mechanical, plumbing, and electrical (MEP)
along with other components. 6
Exhibit K
6 ibid. We find it interesting that ICC would include nonstructural components and interior finish materials
in the “average cost” associated with determining permit valuation. ICC seems to promulgate that cost
associated with the ‘quality’ of cabinets, plumbing and lighting fixtures, stone and tile work, floor covering
such as carpet and wood flooring, and other non-code, or non-health and safety related appointments
should be considered in determining valuation. Likewise, some the Building Departments of some local
agencies charge a separate processing, plan check, and permit fee for separate MEP permits for each of
the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing categories along with the structural category which is typicall y
the initial building permit for most ‘complete’ occupancy types, including SFR Type VB The consultant
has reviewed and determined that the local agency does charge separate permit processing, plan check,
and permit fees for the MEP according to their permit worksheet.
291
The City of La Quinta: Building Permit Valuation and MEP Issues
10
The City of La Quinta may have erroneously adopted their modification of valuation
schedules as created by ICBO and ICC which along with Section 109.3 Building
permit valuations from Chapter 1 of the IBC administrative rules, include MEP fees.
Exhibit L
The City of La Quinta requires all four permits7 per their fee schedule which
produces duplicate charges for the complete building permit when compared to the
directive of the ICC Building Valuation Data section above. BIA-Riverside
challenges the additional and duplicate MEP permits and fees when imposed by
local agencies such as the City of La Quinta because of the “duplicate” charges.
6. Valuation does not include the value of the land:
Exhibit M
7. The City of La Quinta requires application of the estimated total valuation of the
building project to the Uniform or ICC Building Code’s ‘Table 1-A—Building
Permit Fees’ to arrive at the building service (permit) cost.
7 Building, and MEP fees
292
The City of La Quinta: Building Permit Valuation and MEP Issues
11
8. Using the ICC and ICBO fee determination process, Plan Check Fees are
determined by a percentage of the Building Permit cost where the percentage is
65% for a building permit per Table No. 1-A and 25% for MEP fees per Tables
Nos. 3-B, 3-C, and 3-D).8
Did the City of La Quinta correctly modify the California Building Standards Code, Title
24 in their Municipal Code?
Earlier, we discussed the City of La Quinta’s ordinances9 which adopted the California
Building Standards Code, Title 24 CRR.10
The next issue continues the discussion of the City of La Quinta’s Ordinances adopting
the various parts of the California Building Standards Code (Title 24, CCR), more
specifically their adoption of the California Building Code (and the California Residential
Code), 2013 and 2016 editions. Subsequently, their ordinance may have adopted
Chapter 1, sections 105 Permits and 109.2 Schedule of Permit Fees of Part Two of the
California Building Code in error.
In summary, the City of La Quinta may have unintentionally applied some amendments
and deletions to the California Building Standards Code, Title 24 CRR when they are
printed in the ICC model codes and when they are administrative in nature. The
California Building Standards Commission did not adopt most of the administrative
sections of the printed in the California Building Code and the California Residential
Code. The local agency may not apply administrative sections printed in the California
Building Code that were not adopted by a state agency. The Office of the State Fire
Marshall and the Department of Housing and Community Development did not adopt
the administrative Sections 105 and 109 of the International Building Code or Section
R108 Fees of the International Residential Code for adoption into the California Codes.
The paper titled, A Guide to California Housing Construction Codes11 provides guidance
for local agencies:
Apply Only Adopted Model Code Language.
“Do not apply CCR, Title 24 provisions that are not adopted by the state agencies
in building occupancies subject to the jurisdiction of the state agencies. Not all
printed model code language in CCR, Title 24 is adopted for all building
occupancies. Sometimes only one or a few state agencies adopt a section of
model code language in a specific chapter. Sometimes an entire chapter is not
adopted by a state agency. The Matrix Adoption Tables help identify each
adopted section or subsection of the code and the adopting state agency, if any.”

The Matrix Adoption Tables
“The Matrix Adoption Tables within CCR Title 24 identify adopted model code
text, and California Amendments and Standards. Matrix Adoption Tables are
provided in Parts 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 9,10, and 11, at the beginning of each chapter
(or article) to identify the model code and or California Amendment or Standard
adoptions by each of the state agencies. A Matrix Adoption Table is provided for
only those adopted model code chapters. Thus, if there is no table for a model
code chapter, the chapter has not been adopted for application to a building
subject to the state agency jurisdiction.
“Exception: Occasionally the code publisher has provided a blank Matrix
Adoption Table at the beginning of a model code chapter that is not adopted.
Accordingly, if a Matrix Adoption Table is provided for a model code chapter but
is blank (showing no “Xs” for adoptions), then the chapter is not adopted.
Clarifying notes are sometimes provided a blank Matrix Adoption Table. Many
model code sections and California Amendments and Standards are only
adopted by specific state agencies and thus only apply to specific types of
buildings, occupancies, building features or equipment. Each Matrix Adoption
Table lists all the adopted sections. Not all adopted code provisions are
applicable to all buildings. There is also a Matrix Adoption Table for thos e
chapters in Title 24 that are California Amendments or Standards in their entirety,
such as Chapters 7A and 11A.12
Matrix Adoption Tables
A state agency’s adoption or non-adoption of model code language and/or
California amendments is identified in the Matrix Adoption Tables. The Matrix
Adoption Tables at the front of each chapter are an aid to the code users for
determining which chapter or sections within a chapter are applicable to HCD
SHL 600 (New 4/15) 15 buildings under the authority of a specific state agency;
however, they are for information only and are not considered regulatory.
Summary
The following may help when using CCR, Title 24:
1. Identify Jurisdiction: Identify the state agencies having
jurisdiction over the building occupancy or building feature in the
project. The jurisdiction of each state agency is explained in the
“application” section of each part. Learn each of the banners for these
state agencies. The banners are identified in the section “How to
Distinguish Between Model Code Language and California
Amendments” in each part.

2. Matrix Adoption Tables: The Matrix Adoption Tables provide information
regarding which state agency adopts model code language or adds a
California Amendment. In some cases, only selected sections of a model
code chapter are adopted. An example from CBC, Part 2, Volume 2, is
Section 3109, which is not adopted by HCD.

The State Housing Law
“The California Legislature has identified Health and Safety Code, Division 13,
Part 1.5, commencing with Section 17910, as the “State Housing Law”. The
State Housing Law charges the California Department of Housing and
Community Development with the responsibility to adopt administrative
regulations necessary to carry out its provisions, and for proposing building
standards to the CBSC for adoption and approval. These standards apply to the
construction of hotels, motels, lodging houses, apartments and dwellings.
Additionally, the State Housing Law mandates preemptive requirements
13 Ibid. A Guide to California Housing Construction Codes . Page 14.
295
The City of La Quinta: Building Permit Valuation and MEP Issues
14
applicable to such housing structures, including substandard abatement
proceedings for local government enforcement. As a result of the mandates in
the State Housing Law, the CBSC has adopted and published building standards
proposed by HCD in CCR, Title 24. This is done in coordination with the other
state adopting agencies that also have jurisdiction for portions of residential
occupancies, such as the Office of the State Fire Marshal for fire and panic
safety, and the Division of the State Architect for accessibility in public housing
and public use areas. In addition, HCD has adopted regulations in the California
Code of Regulations, Title 25, Division 1, Chapter 1, Subchapter 1 (CCR, Title
25), commencing with Section 1. CCR, Title 25 is discussed in more detail below
in “California Code of Regulations, Title 25”.”14
The Role of the Department of Housing and Community Development
“Prior to July 2013, the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) was a department within the Business, Transportation and
Housing Agency. Based on the Governor’s Reorganization Plan of 2012, HCD
was placed under the authority of the newly configured Business, Consumer
Services, and Housing Agency. HCD has many responsibilities mandated by
state law to meet the state’s housing needs. The Division of Codes and
Standards administers seven programs mandated by state law, including the
State Housing Law Program. The Program carries out the State Housing Law
with respect to housing construction and is responsible for the rulemaking
process related to the adoption of building standards and regulations.”15
“The adoptions in Title 24 that are to be enforced by local enforcement agencies
(generally the building department or fire official) include many of the adoptions
by the state agencies as identified in Sections 1.2 through 1.14 of the California
Building Code. An abbreviated listing of the state agencies with adoptions to be
enforced by local government follows.
• “HCD 1 for residential occupancies”16
California Code of Regulations, Title 25 (CCR, Title 25)
“CCR, Title 25, Division 1 is the segment of the CCR adopted by HCD to
implement, interpret, clarify or make specific the mandates of state law regarding
housing. The scope of CCR, Title 25 includes the administration of building
standards in CCR, Title 24, including the issuance of construction permits, use,
maintenance and occupancy, and substandard building abatement proceedings.
CCR, Title 25, Division 1, Chapter 1, Subchapter 1, commencing with Section 1,
is adopted by HCD’s Division of Codes and Standards. These regulations,

placed in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations when adopted or
approved by the California Building Standards Commission. Building standards
establish requirements for the design and construction of buildings and related
facilities and equipment.”22
Building Standard (Health and Safety Code Section 18909)
“(a) “Building standard” means any rule, regulation, order, or other requirement,
including any amendment or repeal of that requirement, that specifically
regulates, requires, or forbids the method of use, properties, performance, or
types of materials used in the construction, alteration, improvement, repair, or
rehabilitation of a building, structure, factory-built housing, or other improvement
to real property, including fixtures therein, and as determined by the commission.
“ (b) Except as provided in subdivision (d), “building standard” includes
architectural and design functions of a building or structure, including, but not

In summary, local agencies cannot lawfully adopt amendments to the California Building
Standards Code, Title 24 CRR that are printed in the ICC model codes and that are
administrative in nature and not adopted by HCD in the case of R-3 SFD residential
because the State Building Standards Commission did not adopt most of the
administrative sections of the California Building Code and the California Residential
Code. The Office of the State Fire Marshall and the Department of Housing and
Community Development did not adopt Section 109 of the International Building Code
and Section R108 Fees of the International Residential Code for adoption into the
California Codes.
California’s local agencies must follow the directive provided in “Section 1.8.4.2 Fees”
2016 California Residential Code when requiring fees for R-3 SFD residential
construction.
Exhibit T
“1.8.4.2 Fees
“Subject to other provisions of law, the governing body of any city, county, or city
and county may prescribe fees to defray the cost of enforcement of rules and
regulations promulgated by the Department of Housing and Community
Development. The amount of the fees shall not exceed the amount reasonably
necessary to administer or process permits, certificates, forms or other
documents, or to defray the costs of enforcement. For additional information, see
State Housing Law, Health and Safety Code, Division 13, Part 1.5, Section
17951 and California Code of Regulations, Title 25, Division 1, Chapter 1,

BIA-Riverside’s Recommendations
• BIA recommends that the City of La Quinta convert from a valuation-based fee
structure to a time-based fee structure designed for receiving a just consideration
(fees) based upon a fair amount of time spent servicing applications for building
times for a reasonable FBHR.
• BIA recommends that the City of La Quinta adopt a fee schedule for new SFD
Residential based upon fixed rates determined by square footage categories
reflecting permit processing, plan check, and reasonable inspection times multiplied
by FBHR like many other cities rather than by building permit square-foot multipliers
and valuation-tables.
• BIA recommends that the City of La Quinta charge only fees for SFR units
(‘Rescombo’ fee) and not charge separate plan check and permit fees for
mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP), and structural activities.
• BIA recommends that the City of La Quinta set up a revolving account for building
department service fees that carry balances from one fiscal year to the next since
many fees paid in one fiscal year need to cover services in the next.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION TO DENY APPEAL 2019-0002 AND
SUSTAIN PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
2018-0005 AND SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 2018-0004 FOR A 16-UNIT
APARTMENT PROJECT LOCATED AT 51-480 DESERT CLUB DRIVE; PROJECT:
DESERT CLUB APARTMENTS; CEQA: EXEMPT FROM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
PURSUANT TO SECTION 15332, INFILL DEVELOPMENT
RECOMMENDATION
Find the project exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15332 as in-fill
development.
Adopt a Resolution to deny Appeal 2019-0002 and sustain Planning
Commission approval of Conditional Use Permit 2018-0005 and Site
Development Permit 2018-0004 for a 16-unit apartment project located
at 51-480 Desert Club Drive in the Village.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On June 11, 2019, the Planning Commission (Commission) adopted
Resolution No. 2019-009 approving Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 2018-
0005 and Site Development Permit (SDP) 2018-0004 to allow the
development of 16 apartments in two buildings immediately north of
the existing Arnold Palmer’s restaurant (Applicant: Southwest Concepts
for Nispero Properties).
On June 26, 2019, Lawrence Marshall (Appellant) appealed the
Commission decision.
FISCAL IMPACT - None.
BACKGROUND
Southwest Concepts, on behalf of Nispero Properties, the property owner,
applied for a CUP and SDP to allow the development of 16 apartments on 1.3
acres (Attachment 1). The site is currently vacant and located immediately
north of the existing Arnold Palmer’s Restaurant driveway. The property
consists of two lots. One building will be located on each lot, and will be
PUBLIC HEARING ITEM NO. 2
307
accessed by a single central driveway. Parking will be provided on the rear
(east) side, and will include one garage space per unit as well as 22 open
parking spaces (Attachment 2, Sheet A1.1). At the June 11, 2019, public
hearing, the Commission added a condition of approval requiring that the
open parking spaces be covered by carports.
The project includes eight ground floor units and eight second-story units.
The ground floor units are to be located immediately adjacent to the sidewalk
along Desert Club, with gates in the low courtyard walls, to increase street
presence and encourage walkability. Second-story units will have balconies
overlooking the street and will be accessed by stairs on the ends of each
building, and a center staircase with a shared landing for the center two
apartments. A central breezeway provides access to the rear of each unit
from the garages, and abuts rear courtyards for the ground floor units.
The project’s location on Desert Club at Calle Barcelona allows walking or
biking distance access to shopping and job opportunities in the Village.
Environmental Review
The project was reviewed under the provisions of CEQA. Pursuant to CEQA
Section 15332, the Director determined the project is exempt as an Infill
project. The project qualifies for this exemption because it is consistent with
the General Plan and Zoning designation, is less than 5 acres in size, and is
located in an urbanized and mostly built-out area.
Public Notice
The Notice of Public Hearing for the project was published in the Desert Sun
newspaper on May 31, 2019, and sent to all property owners within 500 feet
of the project site on May 29, 2019.
Planning Commission Review
On June 11, 2019, the Commission held a public hearing for the project
(Attachment 3), and heard testimony from several homeowners on Calle
Cadiz, northeast of the project site, in opposition to the project. The Planning
Commission considered the matter and adopted Planning Commission
Resolution 2019-009 (Attachment 4), approving the CUP and SDP, with added
conditions of approval, by a 6-0 vote, with Chairman McCune having recused
himself. Conditions of approval added include a requirement for a reciprocal
access easement or other means to guarantee access from both lots to the
central driveway, and a requirement for the open parking spaces to be
covered by carports.
Appeal
On June 26, 2019, Mr. Lawrence Marshall, property owner of 78-175 Calle
Cadiz, the home closest to the proposed project to the northeast, filed Appeal
2019-0002 with the City. It is noted that although Mr. Marshall did not
provide testimony at the hearing, he expressed his opposition to the project
308
to Planning Division Staff the day of the hearing; and subsequently submitted
a letter to Planning Manager, Cheri Flores, who detailed the appeal process.
STAFF ANALYSIS OF APPEAL
Mr. Marshall cites six concerns in his appeal letter (Attachment 5). Each is
summarized below, with staff analysis provided.
1.The Commission’s hearing was scheduled when out of town property
owners had left for the summer.
Staff Analysis: The City makes every attempt to schedule applications in
a timely manner. Hearings are held year-round, and although the
Commission may occasionally cancel meetings, due to lack of items,
lack of quorum, or summer breaks, it generally holds at least one
hearing per month, even in the summer months, in order to meet the
requirements of the Permit Streamlining Act, and to assure timely
processing of applications.
2.The planning process did not allow sufficient time for Staff to explain
the strategic plan for the area “in an informative and transparent
manner.”
Staff Analysis: The Village Build-Out Plan was originally envisioned
when the General Plan was developed in 2009. Since that time, the City
has completed a Build-Out Plan for the Village, an Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) for the Plan, and a Zoning Ordinance Amendment
codifying the Plan. The Plan was developed to consider the types and
scale of future development in the Village, and included extensive
consideration of the options for Mixed Use development envisioned in
the General Plan. The Plan acknowledged that a mix of residential and
commercial uses, on a scale appropriate for the Village, was needed to
revitalize and provide economic viability for the Village. The Plan
focused on allowing and encouraging high density residential and a
broad mix of retail and office uses to create a compact neighborhood
that would allow people to work, play, and live within walking distance.
The apartment project approved by the Commission is consistent with
these General Plan and Build-Out Plan goals and vision.
Community outreach meetings for the Master Plan were held in 2015, in
conjunction with an online survey. Both were noticed in the newspaper,
and notices were sent to property owners throughout the Village. Forty-
eight (48) persons attended the community meetings, and 481 persons
responded to the online survey. Following the community meetings,
Staff prepared a land use analysis, and developed a build-out scenario.
This scenario focused on mixed use development throughout the
Village, and resulted in the codification of the build-out potential in
309
Municipal Code Section 9.70.110 (Village Build-Out Plan Area). The
Build-Out Plan was also studied in the Village Build-Out Plan EIR. A
Notice of Preparation inviting public comment occurred from October 5
to November 3, 2015. Public comment on the EIR was advertised and
circulated from August 9 to September 22, 2016. The City received four
comment letters on the EIR, from the Riverside County Airport Land Use
Commission, the Coachella Valley Water District, the Agua Caliente
Band of Cahuilla Indians, and the Imperial Irrigation District. On
December 6, 2016, the City Council held a Study Session to review the
Village Build-Out Plan, and on December 20, 2016, the City Council held
a public hearing and approved the Build-Out Plan and certified the EIR.
The City has made every effort to be informative and transparent with
the community regarding the future of the Village.
3.The residents have not been requested to provide input on what they
envision for the property.
Staff Analysis: Please see response to item 2, above. The community
has been extensively involved in developing the vision for the property.
4.Staff has not communicated the long term effect of the location of the
parking lot on the east side of the proposed project.
Staff Analysis: As Mr. Marshall does not identify what he feels is the
long term effect, it is difficult for Staff to address his concern. However,
the parking lot proposed on the east side of the property is designed to
include 16 garages and 22 parking spaces. The Commission required
that these parking spaces be covered by carport structure(s). The
project will generate trips that will travel into the site from a central
driveway on Desert Club, into and out of the parking lot. The primary
activity periods will be between 7 AM and 9 AM, and again between 4
PM and 6 PM, which are the City’s typical peak hours for vehicle trip
activity. The project will generate about 112 trips per day (7 trips per
unit). The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) generally
estimates that 10 to 12% of total trips occur during the morning peak
hour and the evening peak hour. Therefore, the project could generate
up to 13 trips during the AM peak hour and 13 trips during the PM peak
hour. This does not represent a significant trip generation, particularly
since the parking lot abuts the existing Arnold Palmer’s Restaurant
parking lot. This does not represent a large number of trips, particularly
when distributed over an hour’s time. Further, the parking area does
not abut the single family homes, but rather the existing perimeter wall
and parking lot at Arnold Palmer’s Restaurant. The perimeter wall will
remain, and will block headlights to the east. In addition, the
Commission required the installation of carports on the open parking
spaces, which will act as a cap to on-site noise emanating from parked
310
cars. The parking area will not significantly impact the residences to the
northeast.
5.The character of the single family homes will be significantly changed.
Staff Analysis: The project site does not abut any of the single family
homes. A vacant lot occurs north of the site at the corner of Desert Club
and Calle Cadiz. To its east is a vacant residential lot, which could be
developed as a single family home. That lot’s southwest corner abuts
the northeast corner of the project. The project takes no access from
Calle Cadiz, and will have no presence on Calle Cadiz. The project is
purposely oriented to Desert Club, to encourage pedestrian activity
rather than vehicular activity. None of the ground floor units will have
views into the homes, because their rear patios and windows will be
blocked by the garages. The eight apartments located on the second
floor will have entries and a bedroom window that face easterly.
However, the extent to which these apartments will have views into the
homes or yards is limited by distance (the closest landing and bedroom
window will be 82 feet from the east property line) and the steep angle
from which most of these units would view the homes on Calle Cadiz.
6.Homeowners will stop investing and rehabilitating their properties due
to the significant change in character of the community.
Staff Analysis: Mr. Marshall’s opinion is noted; however, he does not
provide substantiation for this statement. The project is located in the
VC zone, which envisions a mix of high density residential and
commercial uses to sustain the Village’s economic viability and allow
people to work, play and live within walking distance.
Mr. Marshall described his concerns further on the second page of Attachment
5 and stated that a “less dense multi-family development” would be
preferred; he also requests that the process “slow down” for a period of 60
days.
The Commission heard public testimony from several homeowners on Calle
Cadiz, expressing their concerns (Attachment 6).

Assistant to the City Manager Villalpando and Management Analyst Ferreira
presented the staff report, which is on file in the Clerk’s office.
Authority discussed affordable housing development options - congregant
care, veteran housing, multi- and single-family housing; current inventory
includes seven single-family parcels in the Cove approximately 5,000 sq. ft.
each, and one larger parcel next to the future X-Park site approximately 2-3
acres in size that could accommodate a development of 15 studio and one-
bedroom apartment units ranging from 400 to 600 sq. ft. in size; Housing
Commission’s recommendations; retaining an affordable housing
developer/operator to build an affordable housing development of 15 units or
less on the site next to the X-Park; identifying future larger developments of
at least 70 units which may allow the Authority to purchase 10-15 units to be
designated as affordable housing.
Staff and the City Attorney explained the use restrictions on Housing Funds
per state law, regulations that may result in increased construction costs, and
prevailing wage exemptions.

SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES Page 2 of 2 JULY 2, 2019
Council discussed mitigation measures stemming from the X-Park noise and
lighting should an affordable housing development be constructed on the
adjacent parcel; the City’s current affordable housing unit requirements per
the General Plan Housing Element; the state’s regional housing needs
assessment for Regional Housing Need Allocation unit requirements has been
initiated and the results will be finalized in a year and a half; and current
regional affordable housing unit requirements per the Southern California
Association of Governments to which the City is a member of.
The Authority reached a consensus and directed Staff to look into selling the
seven vacant parcels in the Cove and depositing the proceeds into the Housing
Fund to be used for future affordable housing options; explore retaining a
developer to design and build an affordable housing complex at the vacant
parcel next to the X-Park, and if not feasible, also explore selling the parcel;
consider veteran housing; and identify units the Authority can purchase from
larger unit future developments.

Jon McMillen, City Manager

La Quinta, CA 92253
Dear Mr. McMillen,
The Desert Valleys Builders Association (DVBA) appreciates the
opportunities for our organization to review, comment and further
discussions on the City of La Quinta's User and Regulatory Fee Study,
dated June 24, 2019. We also appreciate that the City has adopted a
policy of reviewing User and Regulatory Fees on an annual basis. In
between the years of a "full study" review, the City has adopted nominal
cost of living (CPI) increases.
While no one likes seeing their costs increase, it is just a fact of life, and
business. In this fashion, we as an industry can anticipate an annual
nominal increase. The shock of a few years with a flat rate then a sudden
increase of 30% or more has a dramatic effect on production of any
project.
In this "Study", we see a cost correction in several sections which relate
to time in processing necessary services. But, overall, most of these
services only reflect a 1 percent increase in costs. We also recognize
the City's policy of collecting less than 100 percent off ull service costs.
This helps the City of La Quinta maintain a competitive edge in bringing
in desirable development and business to this City. It also establishes a
shared responsibility of the existing population to the desire of quality
growth and planning.
The only issue that we have today is the limited time with which we had
to process this study. As you are aware, DVBA staff reviews these
studies line-by-line so that we may better inform our members the
legitimacy of these fees and rates. While the City allotted the legal
mjnimum time required for notice and access to the study, this period of
time included a major holiday disrupting employee hours and access to
further information.

That being said, DVBA has been able to work with Terry Madison of
ClearSource Financial Consulting on three separate occasions this week,
including a phone conversation he�d earlier this afternoon, to better
understand the processes within this study and effectively support the
conclusions.
Again, the Desert Valleys Builders Association appreciates this
opportunity to review, question and comment on this User and
Regulatory Fee Study. We support its adoption and the implementation
of its fees rates as meeting the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act
and Proposition 26.
