Completion of Tract 2801 9, the Seasons, Jim Dan
D., L.L.C. PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize staff to execute the attached Improvement Agreement Attachment 1) for
Completion of Tract 28019.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
Tract 2801 9, located North of Calle Tampico on Seasons Way, is a lawmaker
income tract partially financed by the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency RDA). The
vicinity map is included as Attachment 2. Despite the RDA participation, the original
developer ran short of funds to complete the required infrastructure and park
improvements.
Jim Snellenberger, doing business as Jim Dan D., L.L.C., has purchased the vacant
lots in the tract and proposes to complete the infrastructure improvements while
concurrently building and selling homes on the lots. The tract map is included as
Attachment 3.
In order to receive building permits prior to completion of the infrastructure
improvements, it is necessary that Jim Dan D. provide security to guarantee
completion of the infrastructure and park improvements. The attached Improvement
Agreement and associated security fulfill that requirement, and allow completion and
build out of the Seasons subdivision.

is requesting all of its members to adopt said policy and employee statement.
Currently, the City uses a service for background checks, which includes a criminal
check using the candidate's name and driver's license. The proposed program of the
CJPIA is conducted through the Department of Justice using fingerprints. The
Department of Justice charges $50.00 per candidate to check the criminal records.
The Community Services Department has purchased a fingerprinting machine and runs
all prospective employees and volunteers who will have contact with minors. The
Personnel Office can utilize this machine.

ing -> 14dBACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
Due to the increase in City maintained landscape lighting systems, maintenance of
these systems can no longer be accomplished by in-house personnel. This is based on
the following:
A reduction in the City's Lighting and Landscape Maintenance Division
workforce.
An increase in vandalism to lighting systems.
Increased maintenance required to the older systems.
No in-house personnel qualified to perform electrical maintenance.
Staff has utilized contracted electrical services, as well as in-house personnel to
perform repairs to these systems in the past. However, there is currently no preventive
maintenance program in place. Problems i.e. vandalism, non-operable fixtures, etc.)
associated with these systems are generally reported by citizens.
In an effort to minimize the number of complaints received, reduce the safety hazards
associated with this type of maintenance, and ensure that these lighting systems are
operating at their fullest potential, it is Staff's recommendation to solicit Bids from a
licensed electrical contractor for maintenance of the landscape lighting systems.
This program will provide for biweekly inspection of all landscape lighting systems
located within the City's medians, parks, perimeter landscapes and parking facilities.
The successful Bidder shall also be responsible for any and all repairs to the referenced
Systems generated by the inspections, as well as by citizen comments. An inspection
report shall be submitted to the City's Maintenance Manager after each inspection.
Necessary repairs will then be authorized by the City and completed by the Contractor.
Costs associated with this contract shall be for labor only. All materials shall be
provided to the Contractor by the City. This will enable staff to better monitor the
work being performed and reduce the costs associated with material purchasing. The
Contractor shall also be required to respond to and make repairs to hazardous
situations i.e. exposed wiring) within two hours of notification.
Should Council authorize staff to solicit Bids for this program, the anticipated start

Agreement Contract Change Order No.8 to Korve
Engineering for Miles Avenue Widening PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Contract Change Order No.8 Attachment 1) with Korve Engineering in an
amount not-to-exceed $3,550 to provide engineering design services for Project 98-
07, Washington Street Widening and Miles Avenue Widening.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The Consultant's current contract value for this project is for an amount not to exceed
$702,964. By adding the additional scope of work, the consultant's revised amount
would be a total of $706,514.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
Change Order #8 shall provide for engineering design services to revise the Miles
Avenue Widening plans from 148 feet east of Washington Street Station 11 + 48)
to 1,177 feet east of Washington Street Station 21 + 77). The existing concrete line
ditch will be broken up and filled with select materials. A new asphalt pavement
section will be constructed to a width of 29 feet with an asphalt curb on the outside
edge of the pavement. This will provide two 2) 1 3-foot travel lanes and a 2-foot
shoulder. The engineering design services shall include plans, specifications and cost
estimate.
The original design for Miles Avenue was completed prior to the finalization of the
Garden of Champions Tennis Complex project. The original design transitions Miles
Avenue east of Washington Street from two to one lane to match the existing one lane
of Miles Avenue east of Washington Street. Since the construction began, the Garden
of Champions project was brought forward with two through westbound lanes west
of Washington Street. In order to maximize traffic flow, an additional west bound lane
is now required east of Washington Street. This will provide two through lanes on
Miles Avenue through the intersection of Washington Street. The new configuration
will provide two exclusive left turn lanes, one through lane, and one shared through
lane and right turn lane north bound) at the intersection of Washington Street and
Miles Avenue.

ITEMZTLE: Discussion of Issues Regarding Side- STUDYSESSION:
Street Access to Arterial Streets Fred Waring Drive
and Miles Avenue PUBLIC REARING:
RECOMMENDATION:
As deemed appropriate by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
Access to Fred Waring Drive and Miles Avenue from side streets serving adjacent
housing tracts is a frequently and critically broached topic by residents of these
subdivisions and other residents of La Quinta. Whenever discussion regarding these
side street intersections occurs, the issues or points of discussion, typically fall into
one of the following three categories:
* Traffic Safety
* Convenient Access
e Mobility
It's not surprising these topics consistently resurface, they are after all, the key
considerations for any intersection. Unfortunately, it's not possible to provide the
maximum conceivable benefit in each category at a given intersection due to inherent
conflicts in the underlying factors that produce the desired benefit. As a result, it's
necessary to strike a balance in the desired benefits by decreasing the level of benefit
in one category to achieve an improved benefit in another category.

ing -> 14 Striking a Balance in Competing Interests
The task of striking a balance in benefits is an unenviable one because it commonly
means one faction of the parties interested in the decision may not be wholly satisfied.
In essence, it is a decision of what is more important: providing benefits for the
community as a whole, or satisfying the desires of a smaller special interest group.
The good news is the decision making process for striking this balance is actually quite
well defined and designed to yield an orderly and thoughtfully planned urban
environment. When civic-minded parties of interest understand there is an
unavoidable duty to strike a balance in the competing benefits, and it involves gaining
some benefits at the expense of other benefits, the sacrifice that seems so strong in
the microscopic view is soon viewed as a price well paid for the greater benefit.
Planning An Urban Street System
All streets do not function in the same manner. Some streets are designed for
convenient direct access and others are designed for high quality regionalZ circulation
i.e. mobility). The balance in the competing benefits related to intersections occurring
on these streets is decided when the street is chosen to perform a certain function.
For example, arterial streets are designed for improved mobility, while residential
streets are designed for convenient direct access to the properties abutting it.
For La Quinta, the arterial street system is identified in the General Plan See
Attachment #1). Fred Waring Drive is designated as a Major Arterial i.e. 6-lane
street), and Miles Avenue is designated as a Primary Arterial i.e. 4-lane street). In
addition to having a different number of traffic lanes, these two street classifications
also have different criteria with regard to side street access points. Intersections that
allow all turning movements at the intersection are allowed to occur at 1 200-foot
intervals on Miles Avenue, while on Fred Waring Drive, this type of intersection occurs
less frequently because the interval is increased to 2,600 feet See Attachment #2).
Mobility and Safety Versus Convenient Access
In general terms, mobility on a given street is inversely proportional to the number of
access points to the street. As the number of access points increases, the quality of
mobility afforded by the street decreases. Eliminating direct access to the street from
abutting properties is the first step to achieving improved mobility for a street. The
next step is limiting the number of signalized intersections which is accomplished by
specifying the minimum allowable spacing intervals between full-turn1 intersections.
The latter step requires a longer view into the future to avoid circumstances that
create the need for signalized intersections. Full turn intersections that seem
reasonable and appropriate in the present moment may ultimately defeat the desired
mobility benefit, or become a traffic safety concern, in the future.

right circumstances. Signals are warranted, pursuant to a prescribed analytic
technique, when there is sufficient cross traffic or if there is an adverse safety history
at the intersection. For that reason, the spacing of full-turn intersections is specified
in the General Plan to guide the City as it grows so the benefits of an arterial street
system become reality.
Reasonably convenient access can be achieved in an arterial street corridor with
intersections that provide less than full-turn access along with other circulation
opportunities that avoid overly long travel courses time or distance) which are adverse
to the motorist's desired direction of travel. When adequate alternative circulation
opportunities exist regarding access to a given arterial street, motorists actually receive
a shorter commuting-time benefit.
Transition From Rural to Urban
Achieving the mobility benefit for an urban arterial street occurs by limiting the number
of access points to the street as well as of the quality of the access that is allowed to
occur. Although the concept is simple to express, implementing it proves more
difficult as one considers some streets were already in existence when the need for
employing an urbanized street concept became a necessity. Access to a street occurs
in two ways: 1) direct access from the abutting property, and 2) side street or cross
street intersections.
Existing access points are generally left in place. However, turning movement
restrictions associated with those access points are commonly imposed as the arterial
street is widened and begins to carry more traffic. Major cross streets become
signalized as warrants are met, and other cross street locations are identified as
potential candidates for signals.
Locations for new connections to an arterial street in the form of cross streets or side
streets are guided by the criteria set forth in the General Plan. However, existing
property lines and land uses along the arterial corridor can influence a less than perfect
plan for locating side street connections, unless significant devotion up to and
including expenditure of public funds in some cases if deemed appropriate) is given to
offset and counter the factors which can adversely influence side street connection
location.
Inventory of Existing Conditions and Future Plans
Attachments 3 through 8 provide a complete overview of existing side street and cross
street connections to Fred Waring Drive and Miles Avenue. Attachments 9 and 10
provide an overview of the existing and future turning movements that are proposed
at the T" intersections on these two arterial streets.

ing -> 14FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
It's not possible to provide the highest conceivable level of convenient access at every
side street that intersects Fred Waring Drive or Miles Avenue without sacrificing the
mobility or safety benefit that is intended for these two arterial streets. Mobility and
safety are, in general terms, inversely proportional with the number of access points
and cross street connections, which means mobility and safety declines as the number
of access connections with full-turn movements is increased.
The policy that governs intersection location and affects the turning movements
allowed at an intersection is in the General Plan to guide the City as it grows, so the
benefits of a high quality arterial street system will become a reality.
Alternatives:
1. Continue the existing policy as stated in the General Plan.
2. Direct staff to revise the General Plan policies regarding arterial streets.
3. Provide staff with alternate direction.

BACKGROUND AND ZVZRvIEW.
On December 1 5, 1 998, the public hearing was held for this request. The City Council
heard testimony from two adjacent property owners on Desert Stream Drive asking the
Council to retain the existing Eucalyptus trees within the Tract. The City Council
continued this request to January 51h, permitting Council members additional time to
review the existing mature landscaping, namely the Eucalyptus trees at the northeast
corner of the proposed Tract.
The vacant, previously disturbed site is located to the south of the Topaz development
on the west side of Dune Palms Road Attachment 1). Vacant properties to the east
of the site, across Dune Palm Road, are in the City of lndio.

The applicant requests approval of a 70-lot single family subdivision with lots that are
a minimum of 60-feet in width by 132-feet in length 7,920 square feet) on private

basin Lot H") and Lot 1. Landscape lots Lots G" and F") are provided along Dune
Palms Road, and a 10-foot wide easement between Lots 20 and 21 is proposed for
pedestrian access to the future public park to the west of the Tract.
An Environmental Assessment has been completed in compliance with the
requirements of The rules to implement the California Environmental Quality Act of
1970", as amended Resolution 83-63). The Community Development Director has
conducted an initial study EA 98-370) and the Planning Commission has determined
that although the proposed project could have an adverse impact on the environment;
there would not be a significant effect in this case, because appropriate mitigation
measures are made part of the Conditions of Approval for this Tract and a Mitigated
Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact will be filed.
On October 1 5, 1 998, the City's Historic Preservation Commission reviewed the
applicant's cultural resources assessment and determined that monitoring is required
during grading and large-scale trenching by adoption of Minute Motion 98-009
Attachment 3).
On December 28, 1 998, the applicant submitted a plan showing that all mature trees
will be retained should the property be developed with housing units. A copy of the
proposal is on file with the Community Development Department. The developer has
plans to retain the mature Eucalyptus trees within the proposed on-site retention basin
and in the backyards of Lots 38-42. Staff has reviewed this proposal, and finds that
the Tract's Homeowners Association HOA) should be responsible for maintaining the
trees because the entire neighborhood will benefit. Staff is recommending a landscape
easement be established to preserve the mature Eucalyptus trees in the rear yards of
affected single family lots See Condition #92).
Tentative Tract Map 27519 has been designed in compliance with requirements
contained in the City's General Plan, Zoning Code and Subdivision Ordinance. Findings
as noted in the attached Resolutions for a recommendation of approval can be made.
The Map, as conditioned, is consistent with the existing tracts in the immediate area.
Rubiicjlootice: This map application was advertised in the DeZrt Sun newspaper on
November 21, 1998. All property owners within 500-feet were mailed a copy of the
public hearing notice as required by Title 1 3 Subdivision Ordinance) of the La Quinta
Municipal Code and Charter. Written correspondence is attached Attachments 4a and
4b).

ITEM TITLE:
STUDY SESSION:
Public Hearing for Zoning Code Amendment 98-062 to
amend Zoning Code Chapter 9.140.000 Hillside PUBLICHEARING:
Conservation Regulations to Allow Fencing if shown to
be Necessary to Mitigate Potential Adverse
Environmental Impacts as a Permitted Use on Slopes
Both Above and Below the Toe of Slope. Applicant:
City of La Quinta.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt City Council Resolution denying Zoning Code Amendment 98-062.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND:
This request originated with the recent lawsuit settlement between the Tradition Club and
the California Department of Fish and Game who challenged the Mitigated Negative
Declaration for the Tradition project. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, The Tradition
Club is required to request that the City consider allowing the installation of fencing at the
edge of its project. Such fencing is not permitted within the Hillside Conservation HC)
Overlay Zoning District. In order to allow such fencing, the HC Zoning District would have
to be amended to include it in the list of permitted uses.
If permitted, the fencing would typically result in solid fencing constructed to prevent
Big horn sheep, if any from gaining access to developed areas. The California Department
of Fish and Game has requested an 8-foot high chain link fence as mitigation for several
projects in the Coachella Valley.
The rationale of the Department of Fish and Game and United States Department of the
Interior Fish and Wildlife Service for wanting the fence is described in their letters as
attached Attachment 1).

ing -> 14. Amendment Request:
To authorize such fencing, the City would need to amend Chapter 9.140 to add the
following text to Subsection c)(3) to permit mitigation fencing in the Hillside Conservation
District with slopes not exceeding 20 percent:
J. Fencing necessary to mitigate adverse environmental impacts."
And to subsection 4) which would allow such fencing on slopes exceeding 20 percent:
Fencing necessary to mitigate adverse environmental impacts."
These amendments are contained in their proper context in the Exhibit A" to the Zoning
Code Resolution.
Environmental Assessment 98-368 was prepared to assess any potential environmental
impacts of permitting such fencing City-wide within the HC Zoning District. Potentially
significant effects were identified for Geology and Aesthetic issues.
Geologic issues include the common hazards from seismic events and ground shaking, the
hazards of potential landslides, and physical impact to unique geologic features. Mitigation
for geologic hazards would be addressed in the geology study assessing site suitability and
hazards required for all proposed development in the HC District.
Potential significant impacts to aesthetic issues include visual impacts to scenic vistas,
demonstrable negative aesthetic effects, and the potential for glare from sunlight reflecting
off the fencing. Mitigation for aesthetic impacts would include methods to make the fencing
invisible off-site of a project boundary. Methods could include painting the fence, locating
it in such a manner so as to hide the fence, or other.
The Environmental Assessment has identified that fencing necessary to mitigate
environmental impacts would have potentially significant impacts on geologic issues and
aesthetic issues that would require mitigation. Such fencing would need to be carefully
placed so as not to create unstable rockfall hazards to homes and property below.
Aesthetically it is doubtful that an 8-foot high chain link fence could be mitigated in such
a way so to make it invisible off-site of a project boundary. However, each application
including such fencing would be reviewed individually for these issues. In addition, the
applicant would need to demonstrate the need for fencing. If mitigation cannot be
accomplished to a level of insignificance, then an EIR will be required to analyze the
impacts.
Planning Commission Action:
At the December 8,1998, Planning Commission meeting, the Commission recommended
denial of the proposed amendment to allow fencing in the HC Zoning District for mitigation
purposes. Planning Commission Resolution 98-091 was approved unanimously to
recommend denial of Zoning Code Amendment 98-062. The minutes of that meeting are
included as Attachment 2.

Public Hearing on Site Development Permit 97-608, PUBLIC HEARING:
Amendment #1, a request to amend a previously
approved Site Development Permit for the La Quinta
Resort parking lot to delete conditions #32 and 38,
which pertain to construction and timing of Eisenhower
Drive street improvements, south of 50TH Avenue.
Applicant: KSL Desert Resorts La Quinta Resort and
Club)
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt City Council Resolution approving Site Development Permit 97-608, Amendment #1,
subject to findings and conditions.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
This Site Development Permit for an employee parking lot on the east side of Eisenhower
Drive, 230 feet south of 50th Avenue Attachment 1), was approved by the City Council,
subject to conditions, at its meeting of September 16,1997, along with other related cases.
This parking lot is to replace the lot removed in the resort area on Avenida Obregon for the
Resort Homes under construction.
Proieot Reauest
The applicant's representative has requested that Conditions #32 and 38, related to timing
of, and construction of, Eisenhower Drive street improvements, be deleted for the reasons
stated in their attached letter Attachment 2).
KSL's first two proposals for an employee parking lot along 50th Avenue encountered
considerable public opposition. As a result, KSL proposed its parking lot on a third site
located approximately 230 feet south of 50th Avenue which is located in a different tract
of land i.e. Parcel 1 of Parcel Map 28834) than the first two proposals. KSL's third
proposal was approved by the City Council on September 16,1997. Parcel Map 28834

ing -> 14fis a three-parcel parcel map with land contiguous to Eisenhower Drive and no land
contiguous to 50th Avenue. Two of its three parcels are already developed as golf course,
while the third parcel Parcel #1) is the only vacant parcel remaining to be developed in
that map. As such, any development that occurs on Parcel 1 represents the City's last
opportunity to require off-site street improvements on Eisenhower Drive with regard to land
contiguous to Parcel Map 28834. Therefore, once Parcel 1 is developed, all of the parcels
in Parcel Map 25834 will be developed to a useful purpose and could conceivably function
in that state for years. This could result in never improving the off-site arterial street
contiguous to the developed land if the current opportunity for obtaining such
improvements is waived.
Given that scenario, Conditions 32 and 38 as stated below, were included in the Conditions
of Approval for SDP 97-608 when KSL proposed its employee parking lot on Parcel 1 of
Parcel Map 28834.
32. The applicant shall complete primary arterial street improvements, except sidewalk
and perimeter landscaping, on the east side of Eisenhower Drive from the La Quinta
Evacuation Channel bridge to the existing improvements at Eisenhower Drive
including a full-width landscape median extending 540 feet south from the Avenue
50 intersection half the distance to the bridge). The City will allow a left-in pocket
at the project entry if the applicant provides sufficient right of way width for a median
configuration which blocks left turns out.
Features contained in the approved construction plans may warrant additional street
widths or other measures as determined by the City Engineer.
38. The applicant may seek reimbursement from the landowner north of the applicant's
property at the time the adjacent land develops, for median improvements
constructed by the applicant which are adjacent to the other landowner's property.
If the applicant desires reimbursement, it shall be sought and obtained in
accordance with the City's reimbursement policy.
Prior to opening the parking lot for use by employees, the applicant shall install all
on- and off-site street and sidewalk improvements and traffic control devices on
Eisenhower Drive.
KSL has indicated to City staff a desire to pursue alternate locations for a permanent site
for its employee parking lot. KSL intends to use the parking lot authorized by SDP 97-608
on an interim basis while a more suitable location is found for a permanent site.
KSL has also indicated to City staff a desire to eventually propose a comprehensive plan
for the land in the southeast corner of 50th Avenue and Eisenhower Drive. Potentially, this
plan would reconfigure the existing golf course fairways and vacant land to better facilitate
off-site street improvements along 50th Avenue and Eisenhower Drive.
Although KSL states a desire to pursue an alternate site for its employee parking lot, there
is no guarantee that this will occur. It should also be noted that the relocation of the
employee parking lot would require finding an alternate location which meets the

a request to subdivide 33.5 acres into 95 residential lots PUBLIC HEARING:
and other common lots on property located east of

Avenue 50. Applicant: Brookfield Homes
RECOMMENDATION:

subdivide 33.8 acres into 95 residential lots and other common lots on property located
east of Jefferson Street, and approximately 660 feet south of Avenue 50, subject to
conditions.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
Tentative Tract Map 26855, located on the east side of Jefferson Street approximately 660
feet south of 50th Avenue Aftachment 1), was originally approved by the City Council on
January 5,1992 and granted a one year time extension on May 19,1998. This tract
approval consisted of a 73 single family lot subdivision on 23 acres.
Project Request
The tentative tract map Aftachment 1) proposes 95 single family lots and 12 common lots,
107 total lots). The single family lots range in size from approximately 10,000 square feet
to more than 13,000 square feet with lot widths ranging from 35 frontages for irregular lots
and lots fronting a cul-de-sac only) to 104 feet. The common lots include: a common open
space area Lot H), and 20 foot wide landscape lots Lot l&J).
This tract revision adds 10.8 acres all fronting on Jefferson Street allowing the subdivision

ing -> 14The revised tract is a 33.8 acre subdivision which includes 95 single family residential lots,
seven private street lots, and landscape and retention basin lots. The project site is
primarily vacant except for a single family residence located in the northwest corner of the
property, near Jefferson Street. The property is irregularly shaped with frontage on
Jefferson Street and a 30-foot wide access easement to 50th Avenue. The site is relatively
flat except for the area where the existing single family residence is located.
The subdivision takes access off Jefferson Street near the southern end of the property.
Vehicular access will be full turning movements with the completion of the future signalized
intersection of Pomelo Drive and Jefferson Street. The internal road system is designed
to provide secondary access at the southerly end of Lot A" and E" through Tentative
Tract 26718, located adjacent to the south. A reciprocal access agreement is required to
allow access through each property should one tract develop before the other.
The proposed lot sizes are a minimum of 10,000 square feet and the maximum 13,000
square feet with lot frontages ranging in size from 35 feet to 104 feet. The RL Zoning
District requires a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet.
The retention facility at the southeast corner of the tentative tract is a portion of a shared
basin with Tentative Tract 26718. Each tentative tract is required to have a reciprocal
easement on the entire retention basin area to ensure that an adequate facility will be
constructed for either tract, should one of the tracts not be developed. This easement is
to be recorded prior to approval of the final map.
A homeowners' association will be formed to maintain the retention basin, common
landscaped areas, private roads, and perimeter landscaping. A 20-foot deep landscaped
lot with a meandering sidewalk and wall will be provided along Jefferson Street as required
by the General Plan.
Environmental Assessment 91-194 was certified by the City Council on May 19,1998. An
Addendum has been prepared to evaluate the environmental impacts associated with
minor changes in the project. The Community Development Department has determined
that no significant environmental impacts which cannot be mitigated will result from this
project. Therefore, no further environmental documentation is necessary.
Public Notice: The case was advertised in the Desert Sun newspaper on December
17,1998. All property owners within 500-feet of the affected area were mailed a copy of
the public notice as required. No written comments have been received.
Planning Commission Hearing
The Planning Commission considered this Tract Map request at its meeting of December
8, 1998. After a short discussion regarding the Conditions of Approval the Planning
Commission unanimously 4-0-1) voted Attachment 4) to recommend approval of this
request, subject to conditions.
