TO THE HOUSING ELEMENT.
Mr. Bower, Principal Planner, reviewed the actions to be taken at
this time. Note: This item was discussed at the October 3, 1989
Meeting.
The Mayor declared the public hearing OPEN.
RUPERT YESSAYIAN, P.O. Box 251, La Quinta, felt that the Tampico
Subzone should have been added at the time the General Plan was
adopted some time ago. The area zoned commercial, lying
generally south of Calle Estado should not have been rezoned,
because at that time, according to Susan Fox, consultant, there
was already far too much commercial. He would not object to art
galleries or pharmacies; however, a full commercial use is given
to the Tampico Subzone which will further dilute the worth of
existing commercial either now or in the future. He suggested
that small goods and rentals Item No. 14 of the Use Groups)
should be eliminated in order to be fair to other property owners
who have held their land for many years.

Council Member Bosworth felt that Mr. Yessayjan made a good
pcint,adding that we should hold down the allowable uses.
In response to Mayor Pena, Mr. Bower advised that any proposed
land use will be subject to approval by the Planning Commission
and City Council.
City Attorney, Dawn Honeywell, advised that if the Council is
going to want to eliminate some types of commercial sales, it
would have to be done by deleting it as a possibility in that
zone.
Mr. Kiedrowski advised that the permitted uses can be amended by
referring the matter back to the Planning Commission. However,
this amendment would then miss this round of General Plan
Amendments and would have to be reprocessed.
In response to Council Member Sniff, Mr. Bower advised that small
goods is anything that can be delivered from a one-ton truck.

Mr. Herman advised that this is the first step in an annexation
process for the area generally east of Jefferson St. south of
Avenue 50, west and east of Madison, and north and south of
Avenue 54, known as Annexation No. 5. At the conclusion of this
hearing, petitions will be sent to all property owners with these

opportunity to respond. Based upon those responses, we will then
make application to LAFCO.

originally started out as 1,400 acres and they have recommended
the land use designations and zoning that is before the Council
at this time. The results of a survey sent out indicate a total

and 26.36 or 2% responding negatively and 135.06 or 10% not
responding. By adding the properties east of Madison Street, the
total acreage increases to 1,674.58 with a 90% favorable
response; 2% negative and 8% no response.

with LAFCO by including that and squaring of f that 1/2 section.

before they would support annexation. He added however, that
LAFCO does have the ability to decrease the area if they desire.

project, referred to the recommended conditions and asked that
Conditions 16 and 17 be deleted noting that with this particular
financing and conveyance map, they are not proposing any
construction. Therefore, there is no need for bonding, all of
the improvements will be done with the map submitted by J.M.
Peters. Regarding #23, he asked that it be amended to read that
a license agreement shall be entered into prior to issuance of an
encroachment permit. Regarding substitute Condition #21, he
asked that it read that the applicant shall receive direct

Considerable discussion ensued regarding Condition 21, with Mr.
Reynolds advising that the intent is to be able to put in the new
alignment of Avenue 52 from Jefferson to Washington. Mr.
Kiedrowski noted that it is intended to force these two
developers to work together. He further clarified that it was
never our intent to reimburse for the easement, but rather to
provide for the opportunity for the applicant to ask for
reimbursement for improvements to the road.
Council Member Bohnenberger expressed concern that the Condition
does not specify the location of the easement and Mr. Kiedrowski
advised that it should read east of Washington to the west edge
of Tract 24889.
Discussion ensued regarding Condition 21 with Council deciding to
recess to give the developers and staff an opportunity to meet
and resolve this matter.
Following the recess, Ms. Honeywell advised that the consensus
was deletion of Conditions 16 and 17; amendment to Condition 18
to read The Schedule B street improvements required by the La
Quinta Municipal Code for the street improvements in the right of
way contiguous to the subdivision and for the interior private
streets are waived..........."; Condition 21 will read
development along Avenue 52 east of Washington Street, to the
eastern edge of Tract Map 24889, the applicant shall make every
effort to obtain a 60' wide easement for public street purposes
from the adjoining property owner to the west".
Further, The applicant may seek reimbursement for the
improvements for that section of Avenue 52 east of Washington St.
to the western edge of Tract Map 24889 in the following manner."
Condition No. 23 will read Prior to the issuance of an
encroachment permit, the applicant shall....." and in the last
sentence, The agreement, which will be subject to approval of
both the applicant and appropriate City officials.........
The applicant advised that he was in agreement with these
conditions.
In response to Council Member Sniff, Ms. Honeywell advised that
the applicant understands that this is merely providing for an
avenue for them to make a request, but is not promising a
reimbursement from the City at any time.

Mr. Herman advised that the proposed tract map subdivides the
northern part of Oak Tree West project which was previously
discussed, into 564 residential lots. The Planning Commission
has recommended approval with conditions.
Mr. Herman advised that Condition No. 36 would have to correspond
with with Tract 24889 Condition No. 21.
STAN MORRIS, Engineer for the project, advised that they are in
agreement with all of the conditions of approval and modified
Condition 36. He asked that Condition 43 be deleted.
He then described the project advising that the condos will sell
in the high $200,000 to $300,000 and the homes will sell in the
mid $450's.
FOREST HAAG, representing Landmark Land Co. referred to Condition
No. 45 regarding right-in/right-out of the maintenance facility,
and advised that this is going to require maintenance workers who
live in the Cove to make a U-Turn and questioned the possibility
of a curb cut that would allow a left-turn-in and Mr. Reynolds
stated that he could not recommend a curb-cut in that vicinity,
noting that this is going to be a four lane facility carrying
25,000 to 30,000 cars each day. He couldn't see the
justification for such a curb-cut.
Mr. Herman noted that the request for a variance has been
withdrawn and instead of duplexes, they are going for air-space
condominiums. Additionally, they wish to be able to construct
28' high buildings rather than 20' high, which would need to be
added as a condition Condition No. 49).
