CITY COUNCIL MEETING: February 3, 2026
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 628 ON SECOND READING ADDING
CHAPTER 5.94 TO TITLE 5 OF THE LA QUINTA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO
REGULATING THE SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF KRATOM PRODUCTS WITHIN THE
CITY
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 628 on second reading adding Chapter 5.94 to Title 5 of the La
Quinta Municipal Code related to regulating the sale and distribution of kratom products
within the city.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In October 2025, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors adopted an ordinance
to regulate kratom based products (Attachment 1).
Kratom is a Southeast Asian botanical with opioid effects due to its active
compounds of mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), which is largely
unregulated in the U.S., but rising concerns over health risks, including addiction,
overdose, liver injury and death, have prompted new federal and state regulation
efforts.
The Riverside County Sheriff and California Narcotic Officers’ Association support
and encourage cities to adopt an ordinance regulating the sale of kratom products
(Attachment 2).
On January 20, 2026, Council introduced Ordinance No. 628 for first reading adding
Chapter 5.94 to the La Quinta Municipal Code (LQMC) establishing regulations
regarding the sale and distribution of kratom products within the city. If adopted on
second reading, the ordinance will go into effect 30 days after adoption, or on March
5, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT – None.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In October 2025, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved an
ordinance regulating kratom products. The regulations set a minimum purchase age of
21, restrict products with more than 2% 7-OH in the alkaloid fraction, prohibit concentrated
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 1

synthetic 7-OH products, and establish penalties to ensure safe marketing and protection
of minors. These regulations are in response to the risks posed by highly concentrated
synthetic kratom, which has been linked to serious health concerns.
Kratom or mitragyna speciosa, is a Southeast Asian tropical tree with leaves containing
active compounds, mainly mitragynine and 7-OH. These compounds produce stimulant
effects at low doses, and an opioid like sedation at higher doses. The plant’s pain-relieving
effects and high potency have contributed to increased recreational use. Kratom products
are available in forms such as powders, capsules, and extracts.
At the federal level, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has intensified
oversight of kratom and 7-OH. The FDA has declared that no prescription or over the
counter drug containing kratom is legally sold in the U.S. Moreover, Kratom is sometimes
promoted as a dietary supplement or food additive, however, it cannot be legally sold in
these forms under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), but is still sold
at convenience stores, smoke shops, online retailers, and other permitted outlets.
The FDA has issued several warning letters to companies illegally marketing products
containing high levels of 7-OH, this has resulted in a formal request to the U.S. Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA), to add 7-OH to the controlled substance list.
In addition to Riverside County, Orange County, and the cities of San Diego, Oceanside,
Newport Beach, Solana Beach, and Jurupa Valley have implemented regulations on the
sale and distribution of kratom products. These efforts highlight a coordinated initiative
across local and state levels to protect health and safety against harmful risk of high
potency kratom.
On January 20, 2026, Council introduced Ordinance No. 628 for first reading to add Chapter
5.94 to the La Quinta Municipal Code (LQMC) establishing reasonable regulations of high
potency and synthetic kratom products by setting a minimum purchase age of 21, require
retailers to verify age, set potency limits, prohibit packaging that appeals to minors, restrict
the sale of kratom products that have been synthesized, and impose criminal and
administrative penalties for violations. This ordinance is consistent with regulations adopted
by neighboring jurisdictions and Riverside County.
If adopted on second reading, Ordinance No. 628 will go into effect 30 days after adoption,
or on March 5, 2026.
ALTERNATIVES
As Council introduced Ordinance No. 628 at first reading, staff does not recommend an
alternative.

ORDINANCE NO. 628
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 5.94 TO
TITLE 5 OF THE LA QUINTA MUNICIPAL CODE,
RELATING TO THE REGULATION OF THE SALE AND
DISTRIBUTION OF KRATOM PRODUCTS IN THE CITY OF
LA QUINTA
WHEREAS, the U. S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has reported that
consumption of kratom produces both stimulant effects in low doses and sedative effects
in high doses, and can lead to psychotic symptoms, psychological and physiological
dependence, addiction, hallucinations, delusion, confusion, nausea, itching, sweating, dry
mouth, constipation, increased urination, loss of appetite, anorexia, weight loss, and
insomnia, and has labeled kratom a “Drug of Concern;” and
WHEREAS, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reported that
approximately 1.7 million Americans used kratom in 2021, often to self-treat various
conditions without medical supervision. The agency has cautioned that kratom is not
approved for use as a dietary supplement and has been linked to serious health risks,
including seizures, liver toxicity, physical dependence, substance use disorder, and
neonatal abstinence syndrome—where infants exposed to kratom before birth experience
withdrawal symptoms such as jitteriness, irritability, and muscle stiffness and, in some
cases, death; and
WHEREAS, Health officials, including the FDA, have raised concerns over the
safety of kratom products, particularly those with higher concentrations of 7-OH, which
may increase the potential for abuse and harm public health; and
WHEREAS, the FDA has not approved any prescription or over-the-counter drug
products containing kratom or its two main chemical components, mitragynine and 7-
hydroxymitragynine; and
WHEREAS, kratom products are not federally regulated in the United States and
are not subject to government-mandated safety testing, resulting in a lack of oversight
and no established safety standards regarding ingredients, purity, or dosage; and
WHEREAS, local governments and municipalities have regulated or prohibited the
sale and possession of kratom with their respective jurisdictions including but not limited
to Riverside County, Orange County, and Cities of San Diego, Oceanside, Newport
Beach, Solana Beach, and Jurupa Valley; and
WHEREAS, the La Quinta City Council, in its commitment to safeguarding the
health and wellbeing of its residents by ensuring that products available for sale in the
City of La Quinta do not pose undo health risks, and hereby regulate kratom and restrict
the sale and distribution of Kratom and 7-OH products containing more than 2% of 7-OH

in the alkaloid fraction, in order to reduce potential risks to individuals and in furtherance
of the general public health, safety, and welfare.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of La Quinta does hereby ordain
as follows:
SECTION 1. RECITALS: The Recitals set forth above constitute findings of the
City Council and are incorporated herein and made an operative part of this Ordinance.
SECTION 2. ADOPTION: Chapter 5.94 is hereby approved and adopted by the
City Council and shall be added to Title 5 of the La Quinta Municipal Code as written in
“Exhibit A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 3. CEQA: The City Council finds that adoption of this Ordinance is not
subject to environmental review under, or, in the alternative, is exempt from, the California
Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq. (“CEQA”) and
implementing regulations, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq.
(“CEQA Guidelines”), as the adoption of this Ordinance is not a “Project” as defined by
CEQA. (CEQA Guidelines, § 15060(c)(3).) Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section
15378(a), a “Project” means the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in
either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect
physical change in the environment. The requested action is to amend the La Quinta
Municipal Code to regulate and restrict the sale of a potentially harmful substance within
the City’s jurisdictional boundary at-large, and it can be seen with certainty that there is
no possibility that the adoption of the proposed Ordinance would have a significant effect
on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines, § 15061(b)(3)), The requested action is further
exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2), as it will not result in a direct or
reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
SECTION 4. EFFECTIVE DATE: This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect
thirty (30) days after its adoption.
SECTION 5. POSTING: The City Clerk shall, within 15 days after passage of this
Ordinance, cause it to be posted in at least three public places designated by resolution
of the City Council (Resolution No. 2022-027), shall certify to the adoption and posting of
this Ordinance, and shall cause this Ordinance and its certification, together with proof of
posting to be entered into the permanent record of Ordinances of the City of La Quinta.
SECTION 6. CORRECTIVE AMENDMENTS: The City Council does hereby grant
the City Clerk the ability to make minor amendments and corrections of typographical or
clerical errors to “Exhibit A” to ensure consistency of all approved text amendments prior
to the publication in the La Quinta Municipal Code.

not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby
declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each and every section,
subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the
fact that any one or more section, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses,
phrases, or portions thereof be declared unconstitutional.

RECOMMENDATION
Approve Amendment No. 9 to the Agreement for Contract Services with GHD, Inc. for the
Highway 111 Corridor Project No. 2019-05; and authorize the City Manager to execute the
amendment.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Highway 111 Corridor Project seeks to address connectivity, pedestrian and
bicycle-friendliness, transit, green infrastructure, economic development, and the
retrofitting of the existing suburban fabric.
In September 2020, the City entered into an Agreement for Contract Services
(Agreement) with GHD, Inc. (GHD) for planning and engineering services to continue
efforts to implement the Highway 111 Corridor Plan (Corridor Plan), including
exploring form-based code zoning and roadway design; several amendments have
been executed to amend the scope of work for these services.
Proposed Amendment No. 9 will revise the scope of services to accommodate
additional work within existing Task 4 – Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan, as
outlined in detail in Exhibit A to Amendment No. 9, resulting from Council’s direction
at the November 18, 2025 and January 20, 2026 public hearings to meet with
developers and revise the proposed specific plan and development code as needed
and present to Council at the continued public hearing on April 7, 2026 (Attachment
1). Additional compensation for these services would be $19,873, and the total not to
exceed amount would be $1,481,798.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) has allocated a total budget of $13,284,000 over
the last 7 fiscal years (FY) for projects to be implemented along Highway 111, as shown in

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Corridor Plan was developed in 2019 to address connectivity, pedestrian and bicycle-
friendliness, transit, green infrastructure, economic development, and the retrofitting of the
existing suburban fabric. Recommendations for implementation of the Corridor Plan detail a
strategy for improvements, recognizing the dual functions of moving vehicles and creating a
safe, walkable environment, and opportunities for future development that will lead to
increased economic competitiveness, neighborhood livability, and sustainability in La
Quinta.
Since the Corridor Plan was developed, further planning and implementation efforts have
been in progress under the current contract with GHD. Several study sessions have been
held with the Council and the Planning Commission to discuss zoning for the Corridor. In
December 2021, Council authorized the revised scope of work to prepare an overall Specific
Plan (SP) for the entire Corridor. This approach affords a wholistic plan to create a more
cohesive Corridor as is advised in the Corridor Plan.
In September 2020, the City entered into an Agreement with GHD for planning and
engineering services to continue efforts to implement the Corridor Plan, including exploring
form-based code zoning and roadway design.
28
In March 2021, the City and GHD executed Amendment No. 1, revising the scope of work
to include obtaining and analyzing Street Light Data to assist with roadway design services,
and additional compensation of $11,760.
In April 2021, the City and GHD executed Amendment No. 2 to amend the Time and
Materials cost allocation, by Task, of Compensation for Services; the total Agreement
compensation remained unchanged.
In May 2021, the City revised the scope of services to include additional property owners
and developers meeting services related to the Corridor Plan pursuant to Section 2.3 of the
Agreement, and increased compensation by $4,272.
In December 2021, the City and GHD executed Amendment No. 3, which initiated Phase 4
with the revised scope, including preparation of a Specific Plan for the entire Corridor, and
increased compensation by $545,523.
In July 2022, the City and GHD executed Amendment No. 4, which revised the scope of
services to include additional economic development strategy and market research tasks,
and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documentation for the City-owned 15-acre
mixed-use project site that will be part of the Highway 111 Corridor demonstration site.
In May 2023, the City and GHD executed Amendment No. 5, which allowed for 2 separate
botanical surveys as a follow-up to the initial Biological Resources Report prepared by GHD,
and increased compensation by $15,142.
In June 2024, the City and GHD executed Amendment No. 6, which extended the contract
Term through June 30, 2025.
In August 2024, the City and GHD executed Amendment No. 7, which revised the scope of
services to replace Task 3, Active Transportation Program (ATP) Grant Application and
Plans, Specifications, and Engineer’s Estimate (PS&E), with Task 3, Adams Street Corridor
Feasibility Study; the total Agreement compensation remained unchanged.
In July 2025, the City and GHD executed Amendment No. 8 which extended the term of the
Agreement through June 30, 2026, and revised the scope of services to replace remaining
open tasks in Task 5 – 15-Acre Mixed Use Initial Study (IS)/Mitigated Negative Declaration
(MND) with additional work within existing Task 4 items of work – Highway 111 Corridor
Specific Plan; the total Agreement compensation remained unchanged.
Proposed Amendment No. 9 will revise the scope of services to accommodate additional
work within existing Task 4 – Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan, as outlined in detail in
Exhibit A to Amendment No. 9, resulting from Council’s direction at the November 18, 2025
and January 20, 2026 public hearings to meet with developers and revise the proposed
specific plan and development code as needed to present to Council at the continued public
hearing on April 7, 2026. The total not to exceed amount would be $1,481,798,

Task 4.8.7 – Specific Plan Requests for Information
This task accommodates responses to a broad range of questions posed by City planning
staff, landowners, and other stakeholders as they work to understand the plan,
development code, and its implementation. Typically, these questions address
applicability and approach to development scenarios or actual developments proposed.
Therefore, this task also includes time for review of proposed site plans to clarify code
approach or understand edits and corrections needed to cover unforeseen development
conditions. Specific Plan and Development Code edits may by the product of the above
responses and reviews.
Task 4.8.8 – Adoption Support and Edits (GHD)
Edits have been requested for the Specific Plan and Development Code – most to-date
are part of the original Specific Plan scope and process. Additional edits emanating from
conversations after the first adoption hearing and from stakeholder follow-up are
supported by this task. Most edits are requested for code and limited Specific Plan policy
or map changes are anticipated.
Support for adoption, then, includes continued attendance at the City Council or Planning
Commission adoption hearings to respond to questions about requested or potential
edits, further clarification, and general advocacy of the Specific Plan and Code. This Task
considers two (2) in-person trips to La Quinta, either together or in separate visits for
Specific Plan purposes.
Task 4.8.9 – Continuing Coordination and Management
The continued Plan and Code refinement, stakeholder responsiveness, and adoption
coordination with City planning staff require ongoing semi-weekly (“every other week”)
coordination meetings. This task includes coverage of time for internal project task/staff

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: February 3, 2026
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: INTRODUCE FOR FIRST READING AN ORDINANCE DESIGNATING
SPEED LIMITS FOR VARIOUS STREETS
RECOMMENDATION
Move to take up Ordinance No. ___ by title and number only and waive further
reading.
Move to introduce at first reading, Ordinance No. ___ designating legal speed limits
for various street segments, as recommended in the 2026 Engineering and Traffic
Survey, dated January 26, 2026.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Speed surveys were conducted in January 2026 on various street segments to
account for prevailing speed, accident history, and roadway characteristics not
apparent to motorists.
If adopted, the proposed ordinance, which includes the 2026 Engineering and Traffic
Survey (E&T Survey) as Exhibit A, would reduce the speed limits for 6 street
segments by 5 or 10 miles per hour (mph).
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as the speed limit signs are within the approved annual budget.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In order to enforce speed limits using radar, speed limits must be set in accordance with the
California Vehicle Code (CVC). Per the CVC, vehicle speeds are determined by the
behavior of a majority of drivers during normal driving conditions. Jurisdictions may not
establish arbitrary speed limits.
In addition, recent CVC amendments allow local agencies to adopt speed limits that help
reduce accidents to protect pedestrians and bicyclists, as well as vulnerable groups such
as children, seniors, persons with disabilities, etc.
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 2
63
The City of Indio recently reduced the speed limits of the following street segments on
Indio’s side of the road:
Dune Palms Road between Blackhawk Way and Miles Avenue,
Avenue 50 between Jefferson Street and Madison Street, and
Avenue 52 between Madison Street and Monroe Street.
In January 2026, the City re-surveyed 6 street segments, which included the ones listed
above and some additional ones, and the E&T Survey data recommends the reduced
speed limits shown in the table below be adopted, which coincide with Indio’s speed limits
for the 3 corresponding street segments:
Street Segment Posted Proposed
Dune Palms Blackhawk Way to Miles Avenue 45 40
Avenue 50 Washington Street to Park Avenue 50 40
Avenue 50 Park Avenue to Jefferson Street 50 45
Avenue 50 Jefferson Street to Madison Street 50 45
Avenue 52 Desert Club Drive to Washington Street 50 40
Avenue 52 Madison Street to Monroe Street 50 45
The reduced speed limits will help drivers maintain a speed that is safe and consistent with
the majority of other users.
ALTERNATIVES
No alternative is recommended.

SEGMENTS WITH SPECIAL CONDITIONS
The following segments surveyed had recommended speed limits that were 5 miles per
hour (mph) or more below the critical speed due to conditions not readily apparent to the
driver. Each segment is discussed below.
Segment 64 – Ave 50: Washington to Park
This segment is currently posted at 50 mph and has two through lanes in each direction
with an ADT of 7,000 vehicles per day. The adjacent land is vacant (future residential) on
both sides just east of Washington. The remaining portion of this segment is residential
on the south side and two schools along the north side of this .60-mile-long segment. The
85th percentile speed is 50 mph and would normally justify a 50-mph posted speed limit.
This segment is identified as a land or facility that generates high concentrations of
bicycles and pedestrians. The segment has bike lane presence along the south side of
the corridor. The segment immediately west of Washington is currently 40 mph and
because this segment is established as a land or facility that generates high
concentrations of bicycles and pedestrians, an additional 10 mph reduction is
recommended to be applied. Because this will maintain uniformity among adjacent
segments, it is recommended to match that. It is recommended that the speed limit be
posted at 40 mph for the above reasons. This recommendation falls within the limitations
requiring the recommendation be no more than 12.4 mph under the 85 th percentile speed.
Segment 65 – Ave 50: Park to Jefferson
This segment is currently posted at 50 mph and has two through lanes in each direction
with an ADT of 7,000 vehicles per day. The adjacent land is residential on both of this
0.88-mile-long segment. The 85th percentile speed is 50 mph and would normally justify
a 50-mph posted speed limit. However, there are 2 schools immediately adjacent to this
portion of Avenue 50. The segment has bike lane presence along both sides of the
corridor. The segment immediately west is to be 40 mph and the segment to the east is
to be 45 mph. Because this will maintain uniformity among adjacent segments, it is
recommended that the speed limit be posted at 45 mph for the above reasons.
Segment 66 – Ave 50: Jefferson to Madison
This segment is currently posted at 50 mph in the eastbound direction and the westbound
direction is posted at 45 mph (within the City of Indio). It has two through lanes in the
eastbound direction and one through lane in the westbound direction, with an ADT of
7,000 vehicles per day. The adjacent land is residential on both sides of this 1-mile-long
segment, with the exception of some commercial on the north side just east of Jefferson.
The 85th percentile speed is 51 mph and would normally justify a 50-mph posted speed
limit. This segment is adjacent to a facility that generates high concentrations of
70
2026 Engineering and Traffic Survey Amendment
City of La Quinta
Page 5
pedestrians during special events (well over 100,000 in attendance) which are in the
street due to lack of sidewalks. The segment immediately west of Jefferson is to be 45
mph and this segment already is 45 mph in the westbound direction and an additional 5
mph reduction is recommended to be applied. This will maintain uniformity among
adjacent segments with the recommended speed limit being posted at 45 mph for the
above reasons.
Segment 67 – Avenue 52: Desert Club to Washington
This segment is currently posted at 50 mph and has two through lanes in each direction
with an ADT of 15,000 vehicles per day. The adjacent land is residential on both sides
along the 0.37-mile-long segment. The 85th percentile speed is 47 mph and would
normally justify a 45-mph posted speed limit. This segment in the westbound direction
has a horizontal 45-mph curve speed just prior to entering a 25-mph zone immediately
west of Desert Club, and then a 20-mph design speed upon entering the roundabout at
Avenida Bermudas. There is also a very active fire station on the corner of Desert Club
and Avenue 52. With the high concentration of bicycles and pedestrians (the segment
has bike lane presence along the entire corridor), a 5 mph reduction can be applied. It is
recommended to better maintain uniformity among segments that the speed limit be
posted at 40 mph for the above reasons. This recommendation falls within the limitations
requiring the recommendation be no more than 12.4 mph under the 85 th percentile speed.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: February 3, 2026
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: REVIEW AND DISCUSS STRATEGIC PLAN SEMI-ANNUAL UPDATE
RECOMMENDATION
Review and discuss the City’s Strategic Plan semi-annual update.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•A Strategic Plan is a living document that is updated periodically as goals are met
and priorities shift.
•This is the second semi-annual update of La Quinta’s Strategic Plan (Plan) since it
was adopted by Council on February 18, 2025.
•The Plan is comprised of a Mission Statement, Sacred Values, and 13 Focus Areas
with Goals and Action Items that lay out the steps necessary to reach those goals.
FISCAL IMPACT – None
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
On February 18, 2025, Council adopted the Plan, which serves as a roadmap for the
future with Focus Areas that identify specific projects, each with a list of goals and
measurable steps toward achieving those goals.
The Plan is a flexible document, which was created with no end date to allow the
document to grow and change with the City’s goals and priorities. The 13 Focus Areas
are a mix of short-term and long-term projects taking anywhere from 5 years or less to
20 years or more to complete.
The Plan is updated quarterly through meetings with teams from each department to
monitor progress. The Plan’s dashboard tracks the progress for each Focus Area and the
Plan collectively. Rather than looking at the overall completion number, which fluctuates
up and down as goals and action items are completed and new ones are added, this
update is highlighting significant steps forward.
STUDY SESSION ITEM NO. 1
91
Focus Areas where there has been notable progress since Council’s last update in July
2025 are:
1. Address IID Lease Expiration & Equipment Needs: In December 2025, Council
approved the appropriation of $10 million to address an electrical substation
upgrade needed in south La Quinta for development projects in varying stages of
approval. The cost to add a fourth transformer bank is estimated at $23.25 million.
The next step is for the City’s Finance Authority to advance fund the purchase of
long lead-time items while the cost-share agreements between the City, IID and
developers are finalized. The City’s Finance Authority will be reimbursed by
developers as capacity for projects is reserved as part of obtaining will serve
commitments from IID.
2. Continue to Address Affordable Housing Needs: An agreement is in the works
with an affordable housing developer and expected to go to Council for final
approval in March for 96 units on the property adjacent to the Residence Inn by
Marriott. The City is currently awaiting final word that it is in compliance with the
Surplus Lands Act for the disposition and development of the City-owned 15 acres
adjacent to Best Buy, which would yield approximately 300 units. Additionally, staff
is working with a developer on a project located on the 5-acre lot behind Chick-fil-
A, approximately 130 units.
3. Economic Development: We have added a Goal for SilverRock development,
which is estimated to create up to 3,000 jobs during construction and 455 full-time
equivalent permanent jobs at completion. At build-out, the world-class resort is
estimated to bring $302 million in TOT revenue to the City over 30 years. This Goal
is set up to monitor the progress of the luxury resort and hotel development.
4. Implement the Highway 111 Reenvision Plan: The Highway 111 Specific Plan
is being finalized with adoption by the City Council expected in Spring 2026. There
are currently 11 Specific Plans for the corridor, and the proposal is to create one
unifying plan for the entire corridor along with revised zoning to increase walkability
and bring more mixed use developments. Additionally, the 2 miles of roadway
underwent extensive improvements in 2025 that included asphalt removal,
reconstruction of the road base and laying down new asphalt at an approximate
cost of $7 million.
5. Broaden Community Involvement: La Quinta’s new Youth Collective (LQYC)
with students from La Quinta High and Xavier Prep kicked off in October. The
program runs through the school year. In addition to monthly meetings at City Hall
to learn firsthand about City government, LQYC students are helping at community
events and together are doing a community service project.
6. Enhance Health / Wellness & Recreation Amenities – The City has added two
new events in the last year: the Fall Festival was held in October and Wellness in
the Desert is debuting on February 7 at Civic Center Campus. The first IRONMAN
92
La Quinta was held in December at SilverRock and was a success and will return
this year. The Fritz Burns Park improvement project is well underway with most
improvements to be completed in March and the pool scheduled to reopen in May.
ALTERNATIVES – Staff proposes no alternatives.

Focus Areas
Continue to Address Affordable Housing Needs
Like most California cities, La Quinta needs more workforce housing, commonly called “affordable housing.” The City has purchased vacant
lots on Highway 111 that are earmarked for affordable housing development and there are projects in progress, as well, though if the State
slashes tax credits to developers in its effort to balance the budget, that will jeopardize approved and pending projects.

Palm Springs Airport Commission Report – January 21, 2026, Meeting Discussion and Action Items:
Brown Act Refresher – The City AƩorney gave an informal annual review of the Brown Act rules.
Airport Program Management & Advisory ConsulƟng Services – The previous decision to select The
Paslay Management Group for Airport Program Management & Advisory ConsulƟng Services for PSIA for
an amount not-to-exceed $7,151,999 was invalidated due to a determinaƟon that they were
nonresponsive to the RFP. A new RFP was issued, and Accenture Infrastructure and Capital Projects was
recommended by staff and the Commission to request City Council approval for three years at an
amount not-to-exceed $6,000,000. They will also be helping with the financing for the implementaƟon
of the Airport Master Plan which is preliminarily esƟmated to cost about $2.2 billion over the next 20
years.
AdministraƟon Building AcquisiƟon – Discussed the proposed acquisiƟon of a facility at 550 S. Dorotea
in Palm Springs for the purpose of becoming the airport’s administraƟon building, housing about 20
airport employees, at a cost of $1,750,000. The facility is located about one mile away from the airport,
south of Ramon Road. RelocaƟng administraƟve staff to this facility would free up about 4,000 square
feet of leasable space on the terminal’s second floor. This relocaƟon will create opportuniƟes to
repurposed the current administraƟon space for revenue-generaƟng and passenger-serving uses
potenƟally including a common use passenger lounge, concessions, airline tennant offices, USO faciliƟes,
or other traveler and public ameniƟes. Off-site administraƟve buildings are a standard pracƟce at
comparable airports.
MarkeƟng Update – 2025 ended with a new record year with 3,307,140 total passengers. The previous
record was 3,237,325 passengers in 2023.

Schindler Group’s vendor selecƟon was executed they are working on design proposals to be submiƩed
near the end of January. Taxicab / TransportaƟon Network Company (TNC) Shade Structures – Two
proposals have been received and are being evaluated. Outbound Baggage Handling System
Replacement – Swinerton Builders has been mobilized at the airport, and a pre-construcƟon kick-off
meeƟng in going to be held late in January.
TransiƟon to New Email DistribuƟon Update – A new centralized email account has been established for
