APPLICANT: LANDMARK LAND CO. Mr. Crump, Planning Director, presented staff report advising that the original La Quinta Cove Golf Club Specific Plan presently known as Santa Rosa Cove was approved by Riverside County in April, 1975. In December, 1987, a Plot Plan was approved expanding the Hotel by 336 rooms to the current 609 units. Expansion and uses of the Hotel created the need for additional maintenance and overflow parking. Landmark Land Company, Inc., is requesting an amendment of the Specific Plan which is necessary to incorporate the proposed overflow parking site into the approved Specific Plan Boundaries adding 2.1 acres to the existing 638 acres. Mr. Crump then advised that Change of Zone #88-031 is to provide change from R-1 to R-3 allowing the parking area to BIB] 02-23-96-U01 04:21:55PM-U01 CCMIN-U02 09-U02 26-U02 1988-U02 !vity Council Minutes Page 2 September 26, 1988 be established for hotel use; The Tentative Parcel Map No. 23749 is to create a parcel for a maintenance facility; Plot Plan No. 88-393 involves the Northern Parcel to accommodate the main facilities and employees parking, and the Southerly Parcel to accommodate overflow parking occurring from special events and peak seasons. The building involves the construction of approximately 2,000 square feet for the maintenance yard on a 5 net acre parcel and the 162 space overflow parking on approximately 1.4 acres. The Planning Commission considered this matter on August 23rd and recommends to the Council a series of actions: Adoption of Council Resolution approving Specific Plan Amendment #1; further reading be waived and the introduction of the Change of Zone Ordinance be entertained; and to be noted, acceptance of the report of the Planning Commission action to approve the Plot Plan. In answer to Councilman Sniff's question regarding possible objections, Mr. Crump advised there has not been any in its final resolve.

PUBLIC HEARING ON TENTATIVE TRACT #23813 SUBDIVISION OF 10.45 ACRES LOCATED BETWEEN CAMINO QUINTANA AND AVENIDA FERNANDO ALONG AVENIDA VISTA BONITA EXTENDED INTO 40 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS APPLICANT: LA QUINTA JOINT VENTURE. Mr. Crump advised that the applicant, La Quinta Joint Venture, has requested consideration for re-subdivision which will provide for 40 detached dwelling units. The original subdivision provided for 52 attached units. The result in density is 3.83 dwelling units per acre with an average lot size of 8,000 square feet. The design of the facility is a private cul de sac street with two turn around areas, one end is closed to through traffic with emergency access gates with daily use by pedestrians and golf carts. This subdivision takes access of f Avenida Fernando which links with Eisenhower Drive. The design of the units are southwestern style which are compatible with larger structures and complimentary to their setting. The units would not be a zero lot line but separated from property lines with minimum side yard. The Planning Commission has provided a Draft Resolution with conditions and recommends Council approval of Tentative Map No. 23813. In answer to Council Member Sniffs question, Mr. Crump advised that the southwestern style of the buildings is the the blending of the styles seen in the Arizona, Phoenix, and Tucson areas which is becoming very popular in the desert. TOM HILL, P. 0. Box 780, Representative for La Quinta Joint Venture, stated that Mr. Crump had covered everything and that they are in agreement with the conditions. In answer to questions by Council, Mr. Hill advised that the construction of the models have begun and plan production building around the first part of the year.

PUBLIC HEARING ON ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT NO. 88-005 CITY-WIDE AMENDMENT TO TITLE 9 OF THE CITY CODE, TO INCLUDE ZONING REGULATIONS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE VILLAGE AT LA QUINTA SPECIFIC PLAN. Mr. Ted Bower, Principal Planner, reported the purpose of the Public Hearing is to consider an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to create changes to allow implementation of the Village Plan which was adopted on February 2, 1988. Part of this implementation requires a creation of a Commercial Village Zone, a modification of a Residential Village Zone, and the creation and reference to the design review section in a series of other aspects of the Ordinance. Mr. Bower further advised that this amendment to the Village Zone was originally prepared in draft form in April for the Planning Commission. The draft was presented to the Planning CommisSion on April 22, 1988. As a result of the comments received, a complete re-write was presented to the Planning Commission during a Study Session on June 27, 1988 and on August 23, 1988, during a Public Hearing, the Planning Commission heard and recommended the adoption of the Hearing Draft as well as the adoption of the Negative Declaration for sequel purposes, the text having no immediate impact on the environment. Mr. Bower advised that adoption of the text of the Village Zone was the only matter under consideration as the Map will be considered in another hearing. Mr. Bower stated that the General Plan created a need for a Commercial Village land use and is also the basic document out of which the Zoning Ordinance has been created. The Village Specific Plan created a need in the Zoning Ordinance for a Commercial Village Zone and Residential Village Zone, BIB] 02-23-96-U01 04:21:55PM-U01 CCMIN-U02 09-U02 26-U02 1988-U02 !v City Council Minutes Page 6 September 26, 1988 24 a new parking section, a new design review section, and an amendment of the map to create the two zones which will come at a later date. Mr. Bower then reviewed a small version of the general plan. He further explained that the village Commercial was divided by the Specific Plan and by the Zoning into four sub-zones; the Core; the North Area, the South Area, and the area around the Park in addition to the Residential village Areas immediately to the east of the Core and a portion of the South Zone, immediately to the west of the South Zone and north to the Park Zone. The proposed zones give detail regarding street alignments and parcels which reflect the General Plan designations, the Specific Plan designations, and as a natural outgrowth of zones. One change not consistent with the General Plan was a change of the Park from Commercial Zoning to R-1. The densities for residential and RV 2800 are consistent with present zoning and land use. The text of the Zoning Ordinance follows the Specific Plan and the General Plan very closely. The major parts to be adopted are: the CV,' Commercial village Zone which is the most important part of the text; the RV" Residential village Zone; the Design Review chapter; and two minor amendments to Plot Plan chapters. The idea in the zoning is to take an acreage which exceeds market absorption for garden variety commercial and to specialize these acreages based on compatibility location, and traffic access. Mr. Bower then mentioned some concerns raised regarding the use of mixed commercial in the Park subzone. The specialization which the Specific Plan proposes and which the Zoning follows through with, allows it to be a special version of commercial emphasizing food and personal services with limited sales--If allowed to be zoned for general commercial purposes, it would be in direct competition with the Core area. Because the park is surrounded by residential on three sides, the types of commercial uses should be those most compatible with residential uses; Another concern is in regards to the Core area; an objection letter which was directed towards the format of the Design Review Committee requesting not only a Technical Committee but a broadly based citizen committee. Council Member Cox questioned the legality of a Design Review Committee. Mr. Bower agreed that there are specific guidelines requiring experts in the field and the composition of the board was brought before the Planning CommiSSion for Design Review purposes and was then brought before the Council. The Planning Commission recommends that the Council concur with the findings of the Environmental Assessment Resolution BIB] 02-23-96-U01 04:21:55PM-U01 CCMIN-U02 09-U02 26-U02 1988-U02 !v City Council Minutes Page 7 September 26, 1988 25 No. 88-015 that Environmental Assessment No. 88-094 finding has no significant impact due to the adoption of the change in the Ordinance. Also, adopt Ordinance amending La Quinta's Municipal Code, Title 9, Planning and Zoning section by inserting three new chapters and amending two chapters, adopting the Commercial Village Zone, Residential Village Zone, Design Review, and amending the two Plot Plan Chapters. Chapters. Council Members Cox and Sniff expressed their concerns regarding this committee. Mr. Bower and Mr. Crump explained that the Planning Commission was the ultimate decision a) making body; this committee is a supplement to staff and 1) basically reviews and comments on designs which is directed to the Planning CommiSsion and is then incorporated into the staff report as one other reviewing body. m The Mayor Pro-Tem declared the public hearing OPEN. LETTERS OF CONCERN: John D. Criste, Terra Nova Planning & Research, Inc.; Donald C. Parker; Rubert Yessayian. MARGARET MIELE, P. 0. Box 652, La Quinta, commented that the property around the park is the most scenic commercial property in the City. She advised before the City was incorporated, the land was bought as general commercial. Mrs. Miele feels the grandfather clause should protect everyone and to change the zone would downgrade the property. She suggested further discussions with the property owners is advisable before Council takes action to avoid litigation. RUPERT YESSAYIAN, P. 0. Box 251, La Quinta, representing Donald Parker, advised a copy of his letter was left with Mayor Hoyle at the Adjourned Council Meeting of September 20, 1988. Mr. Kiedrowski, City Manager, mentioned that he believed Council received a copy of the letter in their boxes, however, if not, a copy will be distributed in this continued hearing. JOHN CRISTE, 275 No. El Cielo, Palm Springs, Representative for Terra Nova Planning & Research, Inc., mentioned that they feel that the Specific Plan and the Zoning Ordinance is a well drafted document and a good implementation to the Specific Plan. Their only concern which is directly related to their project is Section 9.90.071 E-8 regarding Vehicular Access in the Core Subzone which conflicts with their plan of a drop-off lane that would be parallel to the lanes of Tampico with a landscape buffer for separation. Mr. Criste advised they had no other concerns regarding the Ordinance. Mayor Pro-Tem noted that a project has not been submitted by Mr. Criste at this time. BIB] 02-23-96-U01 04:21:55PM-U01 CCMIN-U02 09-U02 26-U02 1988-U02 !vCity Council Minutes Page 8 September 26, 1988 JOHN BUND, P. 0. Box 1575, La Quinta, advised that he was standing before the Council as a citizen not as a Commissioner. Mr. Bund is concerned about the rezoning of the downtown village area R-3). He advised that he would like to develop his land zoned as R-3 and for office space. There has been too much confusion because the general statements of the Village Development and Plan have not been clearly stated. Mr. Bund would like to see the same flexibility in the R-3 zoning area as in the original. The people owning property in this area intend on having retail spaces. Mr. Bund suggested placing limits on the number of parking spaces of the owners' project sites which would be a way of controlling the size of the development without negating the possibility of the development. LOUIE CAMPAGNA, P. 0. Box 1286, La Quinta, advised when he was on a committee four years ago, the original plan was commercial zoning extending between the Park and Tampico bordered by Navarro and apartments on the other side which was to be squared of f by commercial zoning. Mr. Campagna advised that He and his wife purchased property approximately a year ago on the corner of Tampico and Navarro intending to relocate their pharmacy on their property but under the proposed zoning this would not be possible. He pointed out, with the exception of his property, all property around him is zoned Commercial and strongly feels his should also be zoned the same or compensated. AUDREY OSTROWSKY, P. 0. Box 351, La Quinta, representing Frances Hack, advised that Frances may desire to have a dress shop in her building and questioned the Council as to the reasons why this would not be possible. She also mentioned her concerns regarding restaurants next to the residential area as it would invite drinking and parking problems. She stated that Mr. Parker wanted his letter read into the record. RUPERT YESSAYIAN, P. 0. Box 251, La Quinta, advised that he was representing the majority of the property owners around the park. He stated that they feel the Village Plan is a good plan and will help the entire area, however, ramifications have developed which are detrimental to their interests. Mr. Yessayian proceeded to read his letter into the record. The property owners owning land for nearly twenty years believe they should not be penalized by this change in zone and feel they should be able to choose whether to develop office space or not as it would be an ideal area for the types of small shops needed in the Village. MARGARET MIELE, P. 0. Box 652, La Quinta, advised that Frances Hack and Larry Cunningham were unable to attend the Council meeting and expressed to her that they share the same feelings as she.

COUNCIL COMMENT Mr. Kiedrowski advised that the Mayor asked that his view be expressed as he feels very strongly that area north of the City Park between the street the Park is on and Tampico be zoned commercial from Eisenhower to Bermudas. Mr. Kiedrowski interpreted this to mean that he feels all the land on that map noted as RV 280C should be included as a commercial zone of some type. a) In answer to Council Member Cox's question, Mr. Bower ID clarified that the current zoning on that map is R-3 with Cr) the exception of the dental office. m Council Member Cox expressed her feelings regarding the Design Review Committee. She is very concerned about design review because the requirements basically state everything having the same look which is prevalent in the desert. She noted her love for variety and each building having their own identity. Based upon the requirements for design review, the Committee may tend to have the same thought process and feels the Planning Commission may lean heavily on their recommendations; therefore, is reluctant to start one now. Councilwoman Cox continued to express her reluctance in changing the zoning of the Park area from commercial to R-3. She stated further need of information from the Planning Staff their reasons and the accomplishments their desiring before commenting on Mr. Criste's concern. In response to Councilwoman Cox, Mr. Crump advised that Tampico will be a high volume street. To introduce traffic mid-stream into Tampico may not be technically sound to have that off-loading facility. If a project were advanced in the future and this provision existed in the zoning, someone who had the technical backup to justify could advance a variance. Mayor Pro-Tem also expressed his concern in working something into an Ordinance based only on a proposed plan and do not see that as sound. In response to Council Member Bohnenberger 5 question regarding currently allowed uses in an R-3 zone, Mr. Crump advised that under the County zoning regulations adopted by reference, it allows multi-family uses and a multitude of non-residential uses, including offices. In devising those land use categories, it was not meant to have all non-residential activities previously allowed in County zoning. In the future, R-3 zoning would be just BIB] 02-23-96-U01 04:21:55PM-U01 CCMIN-U02 09-U02 26-U02 1988-U02 !vQ?ity Council Minutes Page 10 September 26, 1988 residential, special multi-family uses, allowing art oriented non-residential activities to occur. Council Member Cox asked for an explanation of the concept on Highway 111 regarding mixed use commercial. Mr. Crump advised that as it exists in the general plan, the mixed use commercial gives provision that 30% of a site which is 20 acres or larger may be used for non-commercial or residential. Council Member Sniff expressed that he was in total agreement with those expressing their concerns regarding the commercial use. He feels these people who have owned their property for years with an expectation of being able to use it for retail use should be entitle to do SO; therefore, is unable to support this change of zone. In regards to the area on Tampico, Council Member Sniff advised he strongly feels that It is an extremely important cross street and should be as much as possible zoned commercial. He noted that it is not incompatible to have commercial mixed in with R-3 and will support whatever changes are necessary. In response to John Bund's comments, Council Member Sniff feels that the text has become extremely complex and simplification is in order. He also advised that he will not support the Design Review Committee because it is too complicated with so many phases to it. The commercial retail sales should not be limited to the Core. Council Member Bohnenberger noted that he seemed to be the only one in agreement with what the Planning CommissIon and Staff had developed. He feels the Staff was successful in implementing what was in the Specific Plan. Regarding the Design Review Committee, Council Member Bohnenberger feels the duties of the committee could be simplified, however, the committee gives the City an opportunity to draw on expertise that the City cannot afford to have in-house. He would also like to see changed in the hearing draft with reference to the parking area, shaded parking to be reserved for customer parking. He pointed out that the use of Eucalyptus in a pedestrian environment would not be compatible because they become to big and drop limbs unexpectedly and suggested a need for an alternative. Council Member Bohnenberger agreed with the use of covered trash containers and mentioned a few of his concerns in the chart of the use groups in the hearing draft. In answer to his concerns, Mr Crump advised food service would only be allowed in the northern section as a conditional use permit because there is more commercial presently devoted in that area and restaurants need a BIB] 02-23-96-U01 04:21:55PM-U01 CCMIN-U02 09-U02 26-U02 1988-U02 !v City Council Minutes Page 11 September 26, 1988 29 special look; he also advised that the Public Assembly is in reference to commercial around the park as the actual public ownership land is in a residential zone. Mayor Pro-Tern Pena advised that it is not his intention to go forward with this plan. He advised that he disagrees with the restaurant analysis in the north area and if there is vehicle oriented buildings there it would provide parking at night for commercial establishments. Mayor Pro-Tern also concurs with Council Members Cox and Sniff regarding the Design Review Committee. He feels that the Specific Plan a) was well prepared, however, believes there is no urgency or If) reason to rush into the plan. Cr) Council discussed meeting with the Planning Commission for a joint session. Council Member Bohnenberger mentioned that m possibly several amendments to the Specific Plan will be necessary and then suggested considering the individual components and adopting portions of that which is uncontested. Mr. Kiedrowski suggested that Council may wish to continue to a date certain or if future comment is desired, then the public hearing should be continued and allow staff to set up a date with the Planning CommiSSion. His recommendation is to have the public hearing in a month and a joint meeting within the next couple weeks with the Planning Commission and Council allowing Staff after this meeting a couple of weeks to prepare the new text. MOTION It was moved by Council Member Sniff that this matter be continued until the second meeting in November giving Staff time to prepare the material for the joint meeting with the Planning Commission at which time the new Council will be sworn in. Motion died for lack of second. In answer to Council Member Bohnenberger, Mr. Crump advised depending on the scope of the changes sought if it would be advisable to continue this hearing until the second meeting in October. Ample time should be allowed for public viewing. MOTION It was moved by Council Member Bohnenberger, seconded by Council Member Cox to continue this hearing until the first meeting in November and schedule a joint meeting of the Planning Commission and the City Council to review and discuss the proposed Zoning Ordinance. Council Member Sniff disagreed because Council would be in session to discuss this matter on the night of the election.
