T hereby request that the La Quinta City Council

I request that this action be taken at the earliest
possible opportunity, and that the initiative be
placed on the ballot at the soonest election which
is legal for such an initiative.
This request is precipitated by the irresponsible

To: The Honorable Mayor and Councilineibers
From: The Planning Carrnission
Date: April 19, 1983
Subject: PROPOSED ORDThINCE AMEMENT ADDING SECTION 18.40 WAILS, FECES
AND LNNDSCCPING" TO THE WNICIPAL MND USE ORDINANCE NO.348.
RECNuAT ION
The Planning Crmission recrirnds that the City Council approve and adopt Section
18.40, an amendment to the Municipal Land Use Ordinance No.348 permitting a rnax'm1Mn'
six-foot height for fences, walls and landscaping along all property lines, excepting
the street sides of corner lots where the height of the enclosures will be determined
by the City Council based upon safety considerations.
Background
The proposed ordinance was initiated by the City for the purpose of providing clarifi-
cation of the regulations pertaining to the permitted height of fences, walls and
hedges installed on residential property.
The current MLinicipal Land Use Ordinance limits the scope of its direct discussion of
walls and fences to their rLandatOry use for the screening of parking lots and the
separation or screening of specific land uses e.g., planned residential developments).
Thus, the regulation of fences constructed for other purposes, such as to enclose the
yard of a single-family house for privacy, have been based on the interpretation of
the intent of the ordinance.
Staff recommended that fences, walls and hedges located within the front yard 20-foot
setback be a maximum]rn height of 3 feet, with all other fences along the rear and side
yards permitted to be a rnaxTh!urn height of 6 feet. For corner lots with the houses
facing out onto the east-west street, the height limit on fences along that street
would be 3 feet. The basis for this recommendation was the following: 1) while
backing a car out of the driveway onto the street, the resident' 5 view of street
traffic and pedestrians could be obstructed, thereby creating a safety hazard; 2)
higher fences on corner lots obstruct the irtorist' 5 view of oncr[iflg cross traffic;
3) lower fences in the front yard permit the police and neighbors to see the front
of the house thereby increasing security; and 4) lower fences may be desired for
aesthetic reasons, whereby the view of the crrounity fran the street would be of
houses and yards rather than a row of high walls.
Planning Canmission Action
Hearings on the proposed ordinance anendrrnt were held by the Planning Carinission on
March 22, 1983 and April 12, 1983. At the March hearing, one person spoke in favor

Planning Ccooission Action Contd)
of allowing six-foot fences along the front property line and also the side
property line for corner lots. At the April hearing, four people spoke in favor
of allowing a six-foot fence in the front yard, with one person stating support
for whatever the Ccmmission ruled. In addition, staff stated that a hneoier phoned
City Hall to register his support of six-foot-high fences. Reasons for the speakers
support of higher fences include the following: They provide privacy for the front
yard, they increase security for the hane, they are needed to keep children in the
yard, they provide security to keep people and dogs ot of the yard, and there is
adequate space in the public right of way for a resident backing a car out of the
driveway to see traffic.
After discussion, the Planning Connission concluded that six-foot-high fences should
be permitted on all property lines based upon the folling findings:
1) Because of the small lot sizes and the large required dlling sizes for
hes in the Cove area, the front yard is needed for the resident's private
use.
2) The higher fence provides security for the hcme and for children playing in the
front yard.
3) Regarding the safety of a resident backing a car out of a driveway, the ten
feet between the property line and the future curb line is adequate for the
irtorist to see traffic before backing onto the street.
The Cnrnission noted that six-foot fences along the property lines of corner lots
may lirpair the motorist' S view of oncaning cross traffic. After discussion, the
Connission directed staff to confer with the City Engineer regarding the dinensions
of the corner cutback necessary to provide for the safety of tourists. This
information would be presented to the City Council for its consideration of specific
requirements for corner lots.
The Connission voted 3 to 2 in favor of allowing walls, fences and landscaping up to
six-foot high on all property lines, excepting corner lots. Chairman Thornburgh voted
against the motion on the grounds that he opposed six-foot fences along the front
property line. Connissioner Iri(anp voted against the motion on the grounds that it
failed to address corner lots, although she supported six-foot-high fences along the
front property line of inside lots.
Planning Cmission Recndation
The Planning Connission recanrnds to the City Council adoption of Section 18.40,
amending the micipal Land use Ordinance No.348 to permit a maximum six-foot-high
fence, wall or hedge along all property lines on residentially zoned property,
excepting corner lots for which the fence height will be subject to the Council s
determination.

\..M:tt
To: The Honorable Mayor and Councilnebers
From: The Planning Staff
Date: April 19, 1983
Subject: STAFF REC4MENDATI ON SECTION 18.40, A PROPOSED AMENrENT TO THE MUNICIPAL
IIND USE OPDIrCE NO.348 CONCERNIN THE PERMIIED BEIGFT OF S, FENCES
AND HEDGES.
Staff is requesting that the City Council approve a version of the proposed ordinance
aeendnent which would be a cromise between the Planning Coission' S readation
to permit six-foot-high fences, walls and hedges along the front property line and
staff 5 recartrndat ion that the height of these structures and landscaping be limlted
to 3 feet. The basis for this request is that in staff 1 the recrirnded
six-foot fence height does not adequately provide for the safety of rrtorists and
pedestrians using the public street right of way. Based upon the findings stated
below, staff requests that the City Council limit fence height in the front yard to
3 feet for all structures and landscaping within ten feet of the road right of way
or frcnt property line, and permit fences to be a maximum six feet high for the
renainder of the property. This is intended to be an equitable balance beteeeh the
desire of the resident to he the maximum use of his property and the protection of
the public' 5 health and safety while using the City streets.
Staff 5 recanmndat ion is based upon the following considerations:
* A high fence on the property line obstructs the resident's view while backing a
car out of a dr]vey, creating a safety hazard to other rrtorists and pedestrians.
Staff does not concur with the Planning Ccccission' S finding that the ten-foot-wide
area in the right of way between the property line and the future curb line is
adequate for allowing the irtorist a view of traffic before entering the street,
based upon the following:
** This narrow space adacent to the roadway provides only a limited view of
street traffic and this view can be easily blocked by vehicles parked along
the curb.
** It fails to recognize the fact that this ten-foot-wide area adjacent to the
curb is intended for pedestrian use. A fence along the property line would
block the view of any pedestrians or children using this area for its intended
purpose, thereby substantially increasing the risk of a resident backing an
autrbile into a person.
The proposed ten-foot setback frem the property line for fences higher than three-
and-one-half 3) feet would permit the irtorist to see pedestrians and children in
the area adjacent to the road and would provide a wider range of view of traffic in
the street.

* High fences along the property lines of corner lots inpair the motorist's
visibility at intersections and increase the risk of accidents.
* Although a motorist stopped at an intersection may have a clear view of the side
street around the fences, the motorist in a moving vehicle carot see cross
traffic until he is within ten feet of entering the traffic lane of the cross
street. Since it takes approximately 330 feet for a driver travelling at 30
iniles per hour to react and stop a vehicle, the blocking of the motorist' S view
prevents evasive action.
* Although residents may be aware of the hazards at a blind intersection, people
from outside La Quinta may be unaware of the safety hazards and fail to exercise
the caution reguired.
* Although the law requires autiles to come to a full stop at stop signs,
coasting stops or failure to stop do occur. The motorist' 5 blocked view of any
cross traffic which fails to heed stop signs prevents any evasive action,
resulting in an accident.
* The City may be liable for damages caused by accidents where intersection visibility
is blocked.
Based upon discussions with the City Engineer, Staff recnrnds that a thirty 30)
foot corner cutback for fences Over 3 feet be required on corner lots. The City
Engineer stated that this would provide some protection, although it would be less
than the optimum. He had recarinended that all fences and plantings within the corner
cutback area be limited to tand-a-half 2) feet.
Cther Considerations
Other concerns which staff has about perrrtting six-foot fences along the front
property line include the following:
* The view of the ocoanity fran the streets could be of a row of walls rather than
of houses and landscaped gardens. This defeats the intent behind the City Council 5
reiirnent for all new homes to have a landscaped front yard as a means for
inproving the City's overall appearance.
* The ordinance may result in some objections when the residents on both sides of a
house build six-foot walls to the street, while the person in the center may not
want high walls along his front yard. The walls would also rphasize the
narrawness of the unfenced interior lot.
* Since there are no design standards for walls and fences, it is possible to have a
solid row of fences along the street which is made up of sections of fences with
different designs, heights and materials. This would create an unattractive and
patchwork appearance to the neighborhood.
* Although the Carirnission' 5 recarirndat ion was in response to the nall lot sizes
in the Cove area, the ordinance would apply to all simllarly zoned property in the
City irregardless of lot size.

Staff Rearirndation
Planning Staff recarinends that the City Council approve Section 18 40, an anendment
to the Municipal Land Use Ordinance No. 348, with the following changes based on
the findings:
2. Height Standards
A. Walls and fences not ceeding six 6) feet in height shall
be permissive in all side and rear yards and along side and
rear lot lines. All walls, fences and hedges located within
ten 10) feet of a public road right of way may not exceed
three-andne-half 3) feet in height. In the corner cutback
of corner lots, the height of walls, fences and landscaping
may not e>(ceed three-and-one-half 3) feet. Where hans on
corner lots back up to each other, as sho on Bibit C",
a six 6) foot high fence or wall may be constructed along
the street property line.
1) The proposed arnendeent will provide for the safety of motorists and pedestrians
using the City's public street right of ways.
2) The ordinance would pnni.t the resident to have use of his front yard setback
area for private activities.
3) The proposal would provide for the resident's desire to have higher fences to
protect their belongings and children.
4) The proposal would provide for an area of landscaping along the road thereby
linproving the City's appearance.

RE: Proposed ordinance regarding privacy walls
Dear Mr. Usher,-
I am presently constructing a residence for Norman and
Sharon I<iinball at 48-800 Anselmo Avenue, near the Coun-
try Club.
The owners will be part-time residents. They are anxious
to have a large area around their pool in the front yard.
In order to maximize this area, I would like to build
the privacy wall on the front property line. This would
follow the existing wall of the neighbor to the North.
We would like to build a matching wall for approximately
65 of our front yard which is 10l.
Please consider situations like this when you finalize
your decisions regarding privacy walls and fences in your
City ordinances
THAN YOU, for your consideration in this regard.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Frank M. Usher, City Manager
Date: May 13, 1983
Subject: Amendment of the Business License Ordinance.
I have had a series of neetings with owners and representatives
of approximately 20 businesses in the City of La Quinta regarding
complaints about our adopted business license ordinance.
The principal concerns related to the gross receipts rate, the
fact that the present ordinance did not account for the variance
between gross receipts and net income among various types of
businesses, and audit and confidentiality issues.
The proposed amending ordinance includes the following changes:
1. The flat rate gross receipts percentage is replaced with a
schedule which establishes three general classifications of
businesses, and which uses ranges rather than a straight
percentage. This contributes to confidentiality of business
volumn and ease of calculation. The effective rates are
reduced by 50 to 60%.
2. A schedule based on load capacity is established for
delivery vehicles, rather than a flat rate of $50 per truck.
3. Contractors fees are reduced by 50%.
4. The revised ordinance provides that books and records shall
be inspected only when the City Manager has determined that
there is subtantial necessity to do so in order to properly
administer the ordinance.
This ordinance will become effective upon adoption, and if adopted,
business licenses will be collected according to these rates for
Fiscal Year 1983.
The revised ordinance has the support of the business community.
Introduction of the ordinance is respectfully recomrnended.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Frank N. Usher, City Manager
Date: May 13, 1983
Subject: Human Relations Committee
California law provides for the establishment of a Human Relations
Commission or committee. It provides for the following purposes;
a) To foster mutual respect and understanding among all
racial, religious and nationality groups in the
community
b) To make such studies in any field of human relationship
in the community as in the judgment of the committee
will aid in effectuating its general purposes.
c) To inqu.re into incidents of tension and conflct among
or between various racial, religious and nationality
groups, and to take action by means of cancellation,
conference, and persuasion to alleviate such tensions
and conflict.
d) To conduct and recommend such educational programs as,
in the judgment of the commission, will increase good
will among inhabitants of the community and open new
opportunities into all phases of community life for all
inhabitants.
The law also provides that the various ethnic groups of a community
shall be considered in establishing the membership of the committee.
I would recommend that in establishing the membership of the
committee, consideration be given to several factors:
1. A composition of five members, appointed to staggered terms.
This is because our meeting facilities are oriented to committees
of five persons, and in conducting business five seems to be a
very workable number of people.
2. egular meetings shall be held quarterly for review of appropriate
issues in La Quinta. Meetings may be called more frequently by
the Chairman or a majority of the members if circumstances
indicate a need.

staff time in support of the committee's responsibilities.
4. Consideration should be given to the possible expenditure of
funds in support of the committees responsibilities.
If the Council chooses to establish a Human Relations Committee,
the recommended action would be to adopt the accompanying motion.
