5. COMMENT BY COUNCIL MEMBERS
A. Council Member Wolff addressed the Adams Street circulation element issue, and
explained background discussion from the previous Council meeting, at which time
the Council had continued further action relative to calling a special election
to the present Council meeting. Mr. Wolff explained that previous proponents who
were circulating a petition ~o open Adams Street had subsequently withdrawn their
petition, after reaching a solution which was acceptable to all parties. Mr. Wolff
stated that now another petition on the same issue was being circulated, and he
believed it would be very detrimental to the school and community, and was going
to ask the Council to call for a special election to settle the matter. However,
Mr. Wolff stated that there were a number of people who hoped to reason with the
current petitioner and to allow another two weeks to seek withdrawal of the petition.
Mr. Wolff moved that his motion to hold a special election be continued to the
March 5th Council meeting, which was seconded by Council Member Pena, and unanimously
adopted following discussion.
B. Council Member Wolff expressed concern regarding the General Plan process, and
explained that he was concerned that it was moving too slowly with not enough
input from General Plan Committee membership. Council Member Wolff reported that
the City's contract with the consultant had called for completion within six months,
and the process was seriously behind schedùle. Mr. Wolff explained that the
Advisory Committee would be meeting tomorrow night, and both he and Council Member
Bohnenberger would be reporting back to the Council with recommendations.

B. The City Manager introduced a public hearing regarding an appeal of the Planning
Commission decision to deny Plot Plan No. 84-088 and Street Vacation No. 84-005
regarding a request to construct a golf course maintenance building at the south-
east corner of Avenida Obregon and Calle Tampico and to vacate portions of Avenida
Obregon and Calle Tampico; Landmark Land Company, Applicant, and stated that the
hearing would begin with a report from the Planning Commission, presented by
Community Development Director Stevens.
Mr. Stevens noted that the appeal was submitted on January 23, 1985, and a copy
of the appeal letter had been incorporated into the Council 5? packets, and reported
that at the Planning Commission meeting held January 8, 1985, a public hearing
regarding Plot Plan 84-088 was held and subsequently denied unanimously both
applications. Mr. Stevens explained Landmark's application to construct a golf
course maintenance building at the intersection of Calle Tampico and Avenida
Obregon, and described the proposed facility. Mr. Stevens further explained
Street Vacation 84-005, consisting of minor vacation of portions of Tampico and
Obregon. Mr. Stevens explained that the Planning Commission had focused on the
following concerns: premature nature of the vacation request, particularly as it
related to flood improvements and portions of the rights-of-way which would
ultimately be abandoned for additional flood improvements'. compatibility of the
proposed building with the surrounding residential area; traffic and related
concerns and circulation patterns; appropriateness of building design and its
orientation; adequacy of parking; Applicant?s ability to comply with Fire Dept.
requirements for access and fire flow; perimeter fencing and landscaping and
noice and other operational factors. Mr. Stevens reported that it was the consensuc
of the Commission that there were problems with the project as currently proposed,
but since both the Applicant and property owners had pushed for a decision and
there was little indication of substantive changes, the Commission deemed it
necessary to deny the requests. Mr. Stevens explained the Council's alternatives,
including denial of the Plot Plan and Street Vacation, refer the matter back to
the Planning Commission for consideration which could be done due to the considerable
modifications which had been made by the Applicant since the Commissions 5 recommen-
dation), or approve the Plot Plan and Street Vacation.
Mayor Cox asked if the Applicant wish to make a presentation. Mr. Andy Vossler,
P.O. Box 1000, La Quinta, asked Brian Curley to make the Applicant 5 presentation
of site plans, exhibits, etc. Mr. Brian Curley, P.O. Box 1578, described the
revised site plans, project phasing, traffic circulation planning, fencing and
landscaping, along with improvements along Eisenhower Drive and Calle Tampico.
Following Mr. Curley's presentation, Andy Vossler explained Applicant5s concerns
and expressed their need for the building due to their need to vacate their present
maintenance facility. Mr. Vossler stated Applicant's willingness to work with Staff,
and explained the difficulty in landscaping;the sloped portion of the current golf
course dike.
Mayor Cox opened the hearing to comment by the public. Comments were heard from
the following persons:
1) Rupert Yessayian, La Quinta, opposed construction of this facility in
a residential area, and cited hazards of large delivery trucks and increased
traffic, noise, aesthetic objections, and stated that he felt approval would
be very unfair to persons living in this area.
2) Bruce Robinson, La Quinta, a homeowner in the adjacent neighborhood of the
project site, stated that he now supports Landrr?ark5s application and cited
reasons for his reversal, such as additional conditions with which Applicant
has agreed to comply, landscaping measures and Landmarks willingness to work
with the surrounding neighbors.

Roger Hirdler, Acting Community Safety Coordinator explained that the cities of
La Quinta and Cathedral City had discussed the possibility of entering Into an

provided for Desert Sands Unified School District. Mr. Usher explained that the
proposed Resolution was identical to the Resolution adopted for Desert Sands Unifiec
School District, providing for a fee of $628 per residential dwelling unit. Mr.
Usher further reported, that Council should amend the proposed Resolution, adding

mitigation impact fees, in the maximum amount of $628 per residential dwelling unit.

RESOLUTION NO. 85-14. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING AN INTERIM
COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE FEE TO BE IMPOSED ON NEW DEVELOPMENT. URGENCY MEASURE).
The City Attorney explained that the Council had adopted, at its meeting February 5,
1985, Resolution No. 85-8, which established an interim community infrastructure
fee of $4,000 per dwelling unit, $8,000 per acre for commercial development and
$1,000 per dwelling unit in the Cove area of the City. Mr. Longtin stated that
several days later he had discovered a section in the Government Code which requires a
prior noticed public hearing, followed by a 60-day waiting period, before any new
fee or increase in a fee can be adopted. Mr. Longtin explained that this legislation
became effective January 1, 1985, which meant the Council would need to redo the
Resolution establishing these fees, with the addition of a section which would
determine that the resolution was an urgency interim measure. Mr. Longtin stated
that it was his recommendation the Council adopt Resolution No. 85-14, with the
addition of Item 7. adopting it as an Urgency Measure, and also recommended
Council adopt the thirty 30) day extensions at the appropriate time.

Palm Desert, objected to the fee, and expressed concern that it was an
outrageous amount, not comparable with fees in other local jurisdictions,
and indicated that Sunrise Co. would be considering withdrawal of their option
to purchase land in the PGA West project if the fee were adopted as proposed.

2) John Bohak, representing M.B. Johnson Company, 74-140 El Paseo, Palm Desert,
opposed the proposed fees, and explained that these fees would have to be passe
along to the homebuyers, and stressed the unfa?rness of causing the new home-
buyers to bear the entire burden of future infrastructure improvements.
3) Bill Emery, 54-018 Avenida Juarez, La Quinta, expressed opposition to the
proposed fee, and recommended Council reduction of the fee, which he felt
would be detrimental to developers, and subsequently people who worked for
developers, contractors, construction trades, etc.
4) Peter Sherman, counsel for Land?ark Land Company, 74-333 Highway 111,
Palm Desert, asked Council to table this matter and develop a fee which was
competitive and in-line with other Valley cities. Mr. Sherman stressed the
complex nature of the proposed fee, and stated that it should not be rushed
through or imposed in an arbitrary manner. Mr. Sherman further stated that
he did not believe Gov. Code Section 65962 had been followed correctly, and
stated that he did not believe there was a current threat" which would
constitute development of this fee. Mr. Sherman urged tabling of the issue,
and careful development of a permanent, equitable fee, based upon development
impact on the area.
5) William Tackabery, President of Aspen Pacific, 4970 Irvine Boulevard, Suite
109, Irvine, California, developer of the Hidden Palms project, expressed
surprise at the fee imposition, while he was in the midst of obtaining financing
for his projects. Mr. Tackabery stated that the fee would have an incredible
impact on his projects. Mr. Tackabery called for more accountability on how
the fees collected would be spent, and stated that he felt this fee was much
higher than fees collected in other communities. He urged the Council to
develop certain goals to account for expenditure of the fees.
The City Attorney responded to the above comments, and clarified several
Issues fair apportionment of fees to appropriate improvements, burden of
fee payment, interim urgency measure requirements, and accountability of
fees collected.
After lengthy discussion, it was moved by Council Member Bohnenberger,
seconded by Council Member Pena, to establish an interim community infra-
structure fee of $2,000 per dwelling unit, and $4,000 per acre for commercial
acreage, and amend the proposed Resolution thereby, and to delete the reduced
exception for the Cove area from the proposed Resolution.
During discussion, Council Member Wolff explained that he was in favor of the
ifrd?tructur? fe?, c??ld lot sukport a fee *?hich levied the same
amount for an o,,ner-builder as that of an expensive developr?ent, where prices
or valuation of the homes could be from $65,000 to $350,000. Council Member
Member Wolff explained that while he supported the need for an infrastructure
fee, he could not support one which was not equitable, and felt that a provision
should be made for the one-time, small owner-builder.
