G entlemen:
I am a resident of La *Quinta at 48-890 Eisenhower Drive
and arn ccncerned about the proposed plan by the president
and board of directors of the *a *uinta Golf *states
*ommunity Association. They are canvassing certain property
owners within the association boundaries seeking permission
to erect unmanned swinging gates at Coachella* *rive and
Eisenhower Dr., seeking permission to close both ends of
Avenida Fernando and with crash gates" and also seeking
permission to erect chain link fenses to limit access to a
certain portion of La Quinta Golf Est* tes.
Mr. James P. orrest of 48-721 San Lucas Stree t in
La Quinta has suplied to me a copy of his July 2nd letter
directed to the City Qouncil. His letter describes in
great detail the planned changes and concerns of pBoperty
owners who will be adversely affected by the plan and I
wish to add my support to Mr. Forrest's letter and urge the
City *ouncil to review the planning and design of gates and
enclosures proposed to be Brected. I, too, feel that the
aesthetic sno economic value of my property will be damaged
by these inst*llations.
Very truly yours,
William P. Mouriquand

Dear City Council:
I have a copy of Mr. James R. Forrest's letter to the Council,
dated July 2, 1984.
While Landmark's policy is not to be for or against another
project, I state the following as an individual who owns property
adjacent to the proposed change of use.
It is Ernie * 5 personal opinion that the proposed fence
which would run parallel to Eisenhower will most certainly be
unattractive and might deflate property values. The use of
un-manned gates is only effective at the time of marketing a
project. We have an un-manned gate at Club La Quinta". It was
installed for marketing reasons. A 20 unit project cannot support
a manned gate! So, our only option to No Gate" was an electronic
un-manned gate.
I respectfully suggest to the City Council, let's upgrade La Quinta.
Sincerely,
II.,
Ernest 0. Vossler

statutory airspace) condaiial**m project with 140 detached, single-
family houses on a 33-acre site.
**E*AL BACKGROUND

fran the June 12, 1984 meeting to allow the Planning **ssion additional tirre to
review the pr*sed project design and density. Concern was expressed about project
and area density and for the tightness" of the site design in several locations.
Applicant's Proposed Pedesign
The Applicant has redesigned a porticn of the site design to increase the minThurn
separation between the rears of sane dwelling units fran 25 feet to 42 feet. This
was accr:plished by the shifting of the locations of the units and the parking bays.
N* units were deleted nor were any streets it*ved.
AL*ER**ATIVES
1. Denial of the piange of Zone, Pedesign of the Project
If the consensus of the Planning Cornission is that the density as proposed
4 units/acre) is inherently inconsistent with the area irregardless of the
design of the project, teen the Cormission should deny the Change of Zone
request. If the Applicant is willing to redesign the project for a maximum
density of 3 units per gross acre 108 units) or 3.6 units per net acre
119 units), teen consideration of the tentative tract map should be continued
to allow the Applicant ti::e to s*nit an amended develo**t plan. If the
Applicant is not willing to redesign the develo**t*nt, the Planning O*ssion
should rt*;*LIL*1K9 denial of the tract.

CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: The Honorable *yor and *rribers of the City Council
From: Planning ccocission
Date: July 17, 1984
Subject: VARIANCE CASE NO. 84-002
location: North***west Corner of *Washington Street and La Qilinta Stormwater**ter *
Applicant: Jack L. Clark Enterprises, Inc.
Request: Tb Allow Patio Covers to Encroach into the 10-Foot Required Rear Yard
for a Planned Residential Development
On July 10, 1984, the Planning Carinission conducted a public hearing on the requested
Variance and, with C*rnissicner Salas dissenting, recommends approval of the Variance,
subject to the following findings and conditions:
FIND**S
1. Special circumstances" due to the location of the subject
property contiguous to a golf course facility and due to
the long, narrow shape of the subject property indicate
that the Variance warrants favorable consideration.
2. The strict application of rear yard setback requir*nents
to the subject property will deprive it of privileges
enjoyed by other similarly zoned property in the vicinity
since the purpose and intent of rear yard setback require-
rnents can be reasonably attained due to the open and
peeanent land use.
3. Approval of the Variance would not constitute granting of
a special privilege inconsistent with limitations on
similarly zoned property in the vicinity since the zoning
regulations governing planned residential developments
adjacent to golf courses need to be rr*dified.
4. Limitation of the rear yard setback encroachment to a
covered, but not enclosed, patio will assure that the
purpose and intent of setback requir*nts is satisfied
without adversely affecting adjacent parcels.

b. No future ex**siari or enclosure of the subject patio
covers shall be allowed.
c. Structures shall c*form to minimum requirements of
the Uniform Building Code.
2. This Variance approval *all expire two years after the date
of approval by the La Quinta City Council unless approved
for extension as provided for by the City of La Quinta zoning
Ordinance. No extension shall be granted unless Tentative
Tract Map No.20158, *t*nded No.1, is also extended.
Discussion by the C*tir*ssion on this matter focused on the following issues:
o The location of the property adjacent to a golf course
o The width of the golf course, as well as its depth
o The lack of neighboring structures which could be adversely
affected
o Potential problems with existing planned residential
developeent standards
o Appropriateness of a Variance to acco:plish a desirable
design
o Possible abuse and overuse of Variances, in general
It was the consensus of the C*ssion that the covered patios enhanced the project
design and that the location adjacent to a golf course warranted different treatment
of the rear yard requirement.
Jack Clark, Jr., Applicant, appeared and supported his request for the Variance
noting the desirability of covered patios for the house design selected, the
proximity to the golf course, and other factors.
Andy Vossler, Landmark land *eny, appeared in support of the request.
No one else appeared on the matter.
It should be noted that the Connunity Developeent Department does not support the
Variance request for the reasons noted in the attached Staff Ma:orandum dated
July 10, 1984. APPROVED
TO CO*ENT.

1Y MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: The Honorable Mayor and *rtl*s of the City Council
From: Planning Depart*t and Planning Coiussion
Date: July 3, 1984
Subject: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 19903
location: Southwest Corner of Fred Waring Drive and Dune Palms Road
Applicant: *eral Manageeent Corporation dba Horizon Palms'1
*uest: Approval to Establish a 160-Unit, Single-Family, Planned Residential
Pevelo*ent on a 40-Acre Site
* June 5, 1984, the City Council conducted a public hearing on the proposed
tentative tract and referred the matter back to Staff with directions to ireet with
the Applicant in order to revise the floor plan of the smaller unit to cc*t*ly with
**il*ce *. 38 and to reduce the project density to conform to the existing zoning.
The Planning Department Staff met with the Applicant to discuss these concerns, but
the Applicant did not indicate a willingness to make the density reduction while
noting that the floor areas could be increased.
Since a tentative tract on an adjacent parcel, which would likely cause similar
concerns, was also before the Planning C*r*ssion, Staff suggested that the
*rnission may desire to hold a special meeting to give consideration to both
projects and develop a consistent re*rdation. Cn June 21, 1984, the Planning
Ccrrinission reviewed its prior recamrendation on the subject tentative tract and
unanimously revised that recorr[rendation to add the follo***ing conditions:
5. a) The number of units shali be reduced to a ma*:ijtu*
of 147."
30. Applicant shall contribute to the cost of jirproving
Dune Palms Road as it crosses the **Whitewater Storm
Channel. Said contribution shall be made prior to
recordation of a fiaal map and shall be based on the
estimated cost of the inprov***ts as determined fran
a plan prepared by a Pegistered Civil Engineer and
approved by the City. The arrxunt of the contribution
shall be determined by the City Council."
It should be noted that several Cdrnlssioners had scrr'e reluctance about changing
the reccrrreedation because they particularly liked the site develoement plan.

Major points discussed by the CanOission related to this matter included:
o ***ction in units to acc*tirodate revised zoning r*mendation.
o Need to participate in an*roveeent of Dune Palms crossing of
whitewater Storm Channel
**ange in area of srraller unit floor plan and in mix of smaller
and larger units fran 50-50 to 4*60)
Michael Buccino, Landscape Architect for the project, appeared and noted that the
*licant desired the 160 units previously approved. He pointed out that the unit
mix and floor plans had been changed to cooply with Ordinance No.38. It was also
indicated that the smaller unit would be further increased in area to exceed 1000
square feet in response to Council and Staff concerns. No one else appeared on the
matter.
Subsequent to this June 21 meeting, the Planning Deptment Staff has had further
discussions with the Applicant's representatives and it appeared that several
additional changes would be forthoaning. On June 27 and 28, the Applicant s'2Jlnitted
the following revised plans:
1. A revised site plan showing 146 units as recarmended by
the Conmission). This plan will be available for review
at the imeeting.
2. A revised floor plan for the smaller unit showing 1138
square feet gross) and 1010 square feet net). Bedro*ns
are naw 12' x 15' and 12' x 13' a jog in the wall reduces
the 13' dinension to 10' for a portion of the roan). The
revised plan is attached.
If these revisions are acceptable, then Condition No.6 can be revised to change
900 to 1000 and reference the revised **ibit. In the event that Council supports
even further reductions, then the alternatives discussed in the June 21 Staff
*rorandu* to the Planning Carmission can be considered.
NaIE: The City Attorney is recatinending that the City drop the phanta*i"
assessment district as a standard condition and, if that recacmndation
is followed, then Condition No.26 should be deleted.)

CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Frank M. Usher, City Manager
Date: July 13, 1984
Subject: Contract for Prosecution Services
We have just received the accompanying communication from the
Riverside County District Attorney regarding our contract for
prosecution services relative to violations of City ordinances.
As the communication indicates, the agreement is self-renewing,
effective April 30, 1984. An indication of approval for a rate
change is requested. The proposed new rates will be $53.43 per
hour for Deputy District Attorney services and $38.73 for D.A.
Investigator services. The rates for the past year were
$49.89 per hour and $37.71 per hour respectively.
It has not been necessary to use these services in the past,
however, that possibility always exists. Funds have been
budgeted for Fiscal Year 1984-1985 in the amount of $1,000 for
this purpose.
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the Council adopt a motion
indicating acceptance of the proposed new rates for service.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Frank M. Usher, City Manager
Date: July 13, 1984
Subject: Parks & Recreation Services INFORMATIONAL)
The accompanying communications have been received from the
Coachella Valley Recreation and Park District and the Riverside
County Auditor-Controller relative to the possible tax transfer
to the City of La Quinta should the City decide to separate
from the Recreation and Park District. The total amount of
tax transfer would be $67,844.77.
I have not yet received revenue and expenditure estimates
relative to the operation of La Quinta Park from the District,
however, I have made some preliminary estimates relative to
personnel costs should the City establish its own park and
recreation program. An estimate of salaries for the first
year of operation would be $51,378. With fringe benefits,
the total cost would come to approximately $64,222. These
expenditures would provide for a Parks & Recreation Director
who would provide overall direction and program development,
as well as oversee development of any additional parks
facilities, including swimming pools or other related infra-
structure. Also included would be a Recreation Leader position
and a Maintenance Worker position. It is not possible at this
time accurately estimate maintenance and operation costs, but
these would necessarily include maintenance of the Community
Center building, mowing and landscape maintenance at the park
and on the existing baseball diamond, energy costs and repair
costs relative to the lighting system at the baseball diamond,
and capital improvement expenditures that may be desired in
the park.
I suspect that revenue from user fees would not be sufficient
to make up the difference necessary for maintenance and operation.
I will provide more detailed information with a more refined
budget estimate as soon as actual costs and revenue figures are
available relative to the operation of La Quinta Park, however,
it appears that at the present time the property tax base in
La Quinta is not sufficient to support the total operation of
the park facility with necessary related programs and expansion
of facilities and programs. Basically, the current operation does

CITY OF LA QUINTA
To; Honorable Mayor and Mrs of the City CounCil
From: James Longrin, City Attorney
Date July 16, 1984
Subject INTERIM POLICY RELAT*VE TO COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE*UCTUPE FEES
Ca"encing with approval of the PGA* *west Specific Plan in May, 1984, the City has
imposed the following standard condition on new development:
Applicant understands that the City was incorporated in 1982 and has
not yet enacted a c*rplete policy on exactions on new developeent to
provide municipal improvement and facilities needed as a result of
the cumulative impact of such new development; and that City is in
the process of preparing and enacting such a policy, which will
include uniform fees to be imposed upon new construction to fund the
following public improvements and facilities: fire station, public
safety facility, city hall, park and recreation facilities, schools,
drainage facilities, major thoroughfares and bridges and traffic
siqnalization; that City expects to enact said fees policy on or
before December 31, 1984; Applicant agrees to pay said fee or fees
in the amount and at the tine' enacted and fran time to time amended
by the City. If said fees shall include financing of permanent or
t*orary school facilities, Condition No. 18 school development
fee) shall be deleted.
It now seems appropriate to formalize this interim policy relative to *onunity
infrastructure fees for three reasons: 1) the recitals contained in the
attached resolution and agreement clearly specify the City's need for the
infrastructure improvements and the legal basis for imposing such requirement
prior to final adoption of a permanent fee amount; 2) the agreement format
provides bilateral assent to the fee policy rather than the unilateral act of
the City imposing the condition without the developer's assent; 3) although
the City eppects to adopt the permanent fee policy by December 31, 1984, see
attached flow chart and time constraints), we may not make such deadline,
which deadline is imposed in the condition but not in the agreement.
The attached documents resolution and agreement) are self-explanatory. The
way it works is that the agreement would be executed by the developer prior
to a hearing on the discretionary decision for the development project usually
a tentative tract map hearing). If the development request is approved, the
agreement itself will serve as the developer' 5 carinitment to pay the permanent
infrastructure fee after it is finally established and dete*rnifled by the City
Council. If the developer refuses to execute the agreement, staff will
recoeaend disapproval of the project on the grounds of potential inconsistency

CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Frank M. Usher, City Manager
Date: July 13, 1984
Subject: Community Development Block Grant Program
We have received a communication from the Riverside County Department
of Housing & Community Development indicating that the City is eligible
for $27,499 of CDBG entitlement funds for Fiscal Year 1983-1984 and
$10,589 in Jobs Bill11 funds for the same year, totaling $38,088.
The letter also indicates that for Fiscal Year 1984-1985 an additional
allocation of $30,041 will be available from CDBG entitlement funds.
The Department has reviewed available census data and has found that
there are no areas in La Quinta where 51% or more of the residents
earn $14,150 or less annually. This has presented a difficulty with
respect to the planning of public works improvements using these
available funds, such as street lighting. There are apparently no
identifiable blocks in the City where this may be done.
Possible alternative uses of these funds include public works infra-
structure development, which will help create jobs benefitting low
and moderate income persons, and site-specific housing rehabilitation
such as through the County rehabilitation program. One of the areas
of interest which we have previously discussed is the development of
a small commercial/light industrial center between Highway 111 and
the Whitewater Channel and between Adams Street and Dune Palms Road.
Such a development would require the construction of a new street
between Adams and Dune Palms Road. Funds such as these may be used
toward the construction of such a street if it can be shown that the
jobs created in new businesses would be of benefit to low and moderate
income persons. Such a development would be part of the specific plan
for Highway 111, which we are currently getting under way. If this
is determined to be a desirable use, it Would not be necessary to use
these funds until Fiscal Year 1985-1986. Between now and then,this
allocation of funds could be loaned back to the Department of Housing
* Community Development for use in other parts of the County. The
funds would be made available to the City at whatever future time we
may determine, for use in our own program after such a development
program is approved.
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the Council adopt a motion approving
the Cooperation Agreement relative to the allocation of Community

1 MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: City Manager Frank Usher and the Honorable City Council
From: Community Safety Coordinator Doug Brown
Date: June 28, 1984
Subject: RECOMMENDATION TO ADOPT THE 1982 UNIFORM FIRE CODE
WITH SPECIFIC AMENDMENTS AND CHANGES
Currently the City of La Quinta operates under the authority of the
1979 Uniform Fire Code as adopted by the La Quinta City Council as City
Ordinance No. 7 on July 6, 1982. In the two years since adoption of that
code there have been several areas of concern relative to fire prevention
that have technically advanced, changed or otherwise been modified.
In order to provide La Quinta with a fire ordinance that best meets
the need for fire prevention, the 1982 Uniform Fire Code a model code),
is hereby submitted for your review with specific amendments.
Highlights of the amendments are as follows:
o The subject of 1fire lanes" has been addressed by adding a section
that expands on the definition of access roadways for fire apparatus.
The added section clarifies the establishment of fire lanes, gives
enforcement direction to cite violators, and requires certain curb
markings and/or signage to inform the public of such fire lanes.
o The frequent use of security bars or grates" on windows of residen-
tial dwellings, designed to thwart burglaries, can trap occupants
inside their dwelling if a fire was to occur. A permit would be
required for the installation of such security bars that would
provide an inspection of such equipment to see if emergency release
devices are installed and operable. This would still allow people
to install and use such devices as a crime deterrent, however, it
would give the city the authority t9 inspect these devices to make
sure that occupants could escape in the event of a fire.
o Another section would require a permit to operate any alarm system
from any occupancy that gives an alarm of fire either through a
local alarm or through a central station. This section gives the
city the authority to act to remove such systems that are prone
to false alarms either through carelessness or equipment failure.
o Permits would be required on all types of fire protection systems
installed in commercial occupancies ie. automatic fire sprinkler
systems, hood and duct extinguishing systems, standpipes, etc.).
This would give the city the authority to inspect, or cause to be
inspected by a private firm, systems designed and required by the
Uniform Fire Code.

11982 UNIFORM FIRE CODE WITH AMENDMENTS, cont. PAGE 2
Highlights of amendments, continued:
o The entire section relating to requirements for automatic fire
sprinkler systems has been revised. The revisions described
in detail in a separate memo) are designed to provide for the
installation and maintenance of automatic fire sprinkler systems
in all new buildings within the city including both commercial
and residential.
o Another section has been added regarding the use of controlled
access devices gates) into country clubs and private communities.
The addition requires the installation of special radio controlled
equipment to be installed on these gates to allow their opening
by sheriff, fire or ambulance units when they approach the gate.
This is a standard being used through the cove communities.
o The entire section relating to outdoor burning has been revised
to reflect the local policy as mandated by the South Coast Air
Quality Management District and as carried out by the Riverside
County Fire Department. Discrepancies in portions of the La
Quinta Municipal Code will be corrected to reflect these changes.
o The section on allowable roofing materials has been modified so
as to restrict anything except roofing with a Class A rating.
This is to reduce the possibility of the introduction of vIshake**
wood shingle roofing which under the climatic conditions experienced
in this community high temperatures, low humidifies, and wind)
could contribute to a conflagration.
o Another section requiring a permit has been added to prohibit the
take-off and landing of motorized aircraft within the city limits
except for emergencies.
o A section has been added addressing the storage of liquefied petro-
leum gas LPC propane) in residential areas. This is to primarily
provide safeguards for those residents in the cove area south of
Calle Durango who are not serviced by Southern California Gas Co..
o A special section has also been added which addresses construction
of new developments. In light of the series of serious fires in the
Woodhaven subdivision in Bermuda Dunes, staff found that access to
the fire area was severely restricted by construction vehicles and
that fire hydrants had been obstructed with building materials. It
is also probable to say that arson was a motive in those fires and
with numerous other construction fires throughout California. Due
to that factor we have also created several requirements such as
fencing, lighting, and/or security guards on new construction sites.
It is anticipated that adoption of the 1982 Uniform Fire Code with
these amendments will give the city of La Quinta a state-of-the-art
fire code that will solve old problems and which will prevent new problems.
Staff is at your disposal to answer any questions you may have regarding
the proposed code and invites your inquiries. This code is but another
step in making La Quinta a progressive and safe place in which to live.

11982 UNIFORM FIRE CODE WITH AMME*DMENTS, cont. PAGE 3
By adopting the proposed code with its ammendments, particularly
the ammendment relating to the automatic fire sprinkler system require-
ment, the City of La Quinta would be the first city in Riverside County
to adopt such an ordinance. In that regard, the City of La Quinta will
have the most progressive fire ordinance in the county and will join a
select group of less than a dozen cities in California that have adopted
similar ordinances.

1 MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: City Manager Usher and the Honorable City Council
From: Community Safety Coordinator Doug Brown
Date: June 28, 1984
Subject: UNIFORM FIRE CODE AMENDMENT RELATING TO AUTOMATIC
FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEMS
The proposed revisions and amendment to the 1982 Uniform Fire Code
regarding automatic fire extinguishing sprinkler) systems are for the
following reasons:
o The Uniform Fire Code UFC) without any amendment would only require
automatic fire extinguishing systems in certain occupancies of over
12,000 square feet. The overall square footage of the building can
be reduced through the use of fire walls. The UFC makes no provision
for the installation of automatic fire extinguishing systems for one
and two family residential dwellings.
o The UFC is only a MINIMUM type of code. It is designed to provide
the minimum acceptable level of fire protection. Fire after fire
and fire-death after fire-death have proven that even with the UFC
in place and enforced it does not and has not made a significant
effort to address the problem of 1'life safety". Granted, it is quite
better than nothing at all, but is just a minimum.
o Close to 80% of all fire deaths occur in residential dwellings.
The majority of firefighter deaths occur while fighting fires which
occur in residential dwellings. Most people who become victims of a
fire are elderly, children, or persons under the influence of alcohol.
Consequently, to really address the problem of fire deaths we have
amended the UFC to require automatic fire extinguishing systems in
residential dwellings.
o Insurance rates for communities are based on that particular communities
fire defenses. La Quinta presently rates very low in that category which
means to improve our insurance rating we must spend considerable tax-
payer money to build more fire stations, hire more firefighters, buy
and maintain more fire apparatus, rebuild and refurbish the water system.
In essence, these precautions are reactive rather than proactive. By
requiring built-in fire protection, such as automatic fire sprinkler
systems, the responsibility for protecting new buildings is placed
primarily on the builder-developer rather than on all of the taxpayers.
o Automatic fire extinguishing systems have a track record of being
96% effective in extinguishing fires prior to the arrival of the fire
department. Such systems have been proven to be better than 99.7%
effective in preventing life loss during fires. There are no cases

that we have been able to find where any firefighters have been
killed while fighting a fire in a sprinklered building. Saving
lives, not just property, is what automatic fire sprinkler systems
are all about.
o Automatic fire sprinkler systems allow builder-developers several
cost*effective 1trade-offs" that can frequently reduce the cost
of installing such Systems through savings achieved by alternative
and less costly construction methods. Mr. Larry Spector, owner of
The Orchard Resort Hotel which is soon to be built on Avenue 50 in
La Quinta opted to install automatic fire sprinklers throughout his
complex because it allowed several trade-of fs which provided extra
flexibility in the lay-out of the project. Mr. Nerv Johnson also
is utilizing residential automatic fire sprinkler systems for the
Isla Mediterranea project on Washington Street on the island portion
because it allowed him to reduce fire flows by up to 50%.
o Due to the resort" theme of the community we do not want to make
the headlines and come under the scrutinity of the media as Las Vegas
did following the MGM Grand Hotel fire. We have a reputation, let's
make ours on prevention and safety without killing a whole bunch of
people or burning down our landmarks.
o The Community Safety Department is presently studying a program known
as CHIP Comprehensive Homeowner Insurance Program). The progress
made through the use of automatic fire extinguishing systems will go
a long way to improve our rating under the CHIP program. The CHIP
program is a form of municipal fire insurance. Instead of substantial
profits being generated for insurance companies, the CHIP program is
designed to utilize prevention measures to reduce the chance of fire
with reduced losses. The money saved comes back to the community in
the form of reduced fire insurance premiums and a portion is returned
to the city to fund fire prevention programs. It would be one of my
goals to utilize some of that refunded money for loan programs to help
retrofit existing buildings with automatic fire sprinkler protection.
The bottom line with this amendment is that it will benefit the
City of La Quinta, its people, its businesses, and the community as a whole
with far better than just minimum fire protection as the UFC now offers.
It stands to save the City substantial money in reduced fire protection
costs in the years ahead. It stands to save and better allocate water
resources by allowing reduced fire flows for sprinklered buildings. It
allows builder-developers more flexibility in project design and trade-offs
can save developers time and money. Distances between fire stations can be
increased, another saving. But most important of all, this amendment can
and will save human life, which is our most precious resource of all.
