CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION
JOINT MEETING: November 21, 2019
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: RECEIVE AND FILE HIGHWAY 111 CORRIDOR PLAN AND
DISCUSS IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the Highway 111 Corridor Plan and discuss implementation actions
to carry out the vision.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Highway 111 Corridor Plan (Plan) was initiated January 2019 to define the
vision for the Highway 111 Corridor (Attachment 1).
The draft Plan was presented to Council and Planning Commission at a joint
meeting on October 28, 2019.
Staff has identified implementation actions to carry out the vision of the Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT
The adopted five-year Capital Improvement Program (from 19/20 through 23/24)
budgeted $1,000,000 in 19/20 for the Highway 111 Corridor and forecasted the
same amount for the remaining four years. The Plan identifies other potential
funding sources to assist in the implementation of the Plan.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In January 2019 the City contracted with Rangwala Associates (Rangwala), a team
of multi-disciplinary experts, to prepare the Plan. Since January, the Plan has
progressed through several project phases including community outreach and
Special Joint Study Session Meetings of the City Council and Planning Commission.
The Plan is an assemblage of the design concepts introduced and discussed over
the span of this vision study, incorporating the input and feedback collected from
a survey about Highway 111, design charrette workshops, and joint meetings. The
Plan includes an assessment of current codes/Specific Plans and provides
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1
3
recommendations for future development of the Corridor. The Plan accomplishes
this by including goals and policies as guidance in achieving the community vision
and an implementation plan to outline the actions to be taken to develop projects
and partnerships.
The draft Plan was presented to Council and Planning Commission on October 28,
2019, where feedback was collected. There was no significant feedback from that
meeting that warranted any changes to the Plan and therefore, the Plan has not
been revised.
The only additions to the Plan include quotes from various community members
placed throughout the document about the Highway 111 vision, and an
implementation plan in Chapter 4. The implementation plan contains a list of 67
actions with timeframes for initiation, responsible parties, costs and funding
sources for each (Attachment 1). Of the 67 actions, Staff identified 17 as priority
actions representing common discussions and feedback heard from the
community, Council and Planning Commission throughout the visioning process.
The actions are organized into four categories: Open Space/Trails,
Branding/Marketing, Zoning and Design, and Economic Development.
Action Items
Open Space/Trails
A1.2 Support infrastructure improvements such as the Cultural Trail and
CV Link linear park.
A2.3a Support the CV-Link regional trail system.
A2.3c Redesign the sidewalk along the northern edge of Highway 111 as a
Cultural Trail that integrates biking, pedestrian activity with local and
regional arts and culture features.
A2.4a Phase the parks and open space improvements to be in sync with
private development (new zoning/place-based codes).
A2.15a Develop the Cultural Trail and CV Link with various parks and open
spaces in the Corridor area.
Branding/Marketing
A1.4 Implement district-wide retail branding and tenanting strategy that
builds upon the cluster of tourism, health, and wellness, while adding
other retail desired by the community, such as experience-based
retail and retail for a wider demographic.
A1.6b Brand and market the Highway 111 Corridor.
A2.10a Identify simple ways to improve existing signage in the near term,
such as by identifying the location of confusing or missing signage.
Make such improvements and continue to evaluate signage needs.
A2.11a Develop a consistent, legible, and logical palette of directional signs
and icons to provide ways to find major destinations more easily.
4
Zoning and Design
A1.3b Support catalytic infill development of vacant and underutilized
parcels.
A1.5b Remove regulatory and procedural barriers to good design (new
zoning/place-based codes).
A2.2b Update the development codes (zoning and/or Specific Plans) to
include design standards for a range of street types for different
contexts, consistent with the Highway 111 Corridor vision.
A2.7 Adopt form-based (place-based) codes that provide clear and precise
direction on the landscape design of the public and private realm.
A3.4c Revise zoning code to better support walkable, mixed use
development on the corridor.
A3.5c Create development standards to encourage bike-friendly retail and
cafes and eating establishments along the CV Link (new zoning/place-
based code).
Economic Development
A1.8 Engage with property owners to gauge appetite for a Business
Improvement District.
A2.9 Explore creating a Business Improvement District (BID) and/or
partnering with existing City Staff, La Quinta Chamber of Commerce,
Greater Palm Springs Convention and Visitors Bureau, Coachella
Valley Economic Partnership.
The implementation plan is a living document that can be revisited periodically,
and actions can be reprioritized based on future conditions. Many actions have not
been marked as priorities since they are ongoing or are already being implemented
in some way and do not require special direction from the Planning Commission
and Council (Attachment 2). Other actions involve revising the zoning code and
development standards to remove potential barriers for developing the vision and
creating a more holistic, distinct place. Staff proposes to begin this process by
having study sessions with the Planning Commission regarding form/place-based
codes, how it can be applied to existing and new development in the Corridor, and
choose a strategy for revising the Code that suits the needs of the area.
Staff will present these priority actions at the meeting with the steps to initiate
them, and will be seeking guidance and direction from the Planning Commission
and City Council.
