September 16, 1985
Honorable Mayor and
Member of the City Council
City of La Quinta
La Quinta, California
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council;
I am writing this letter to express my concern with the designated use
proposed by the new General Plan for the Desert Club of La Quinta.
When I purchased the Desert Club in 1978 it was zoned R-3 see attached).
In 1984 the property was subdivided into two 2) lots to be known as Lot #1
and Lot #2 of Tract No. 19203 see attached). At that time a Letter of Credit
in the amount of $295,000 was provided to improve new Avenue 52 and Bermudas
to city standards.
Lot #1 is unimproved land north of the Clubs tennis courts and extending
to new Avenue 52 or old Calle Amigo. Lot #2 is what we all call The Desert
Club, consisting of 23,000 sq.ft. of buildings. This includes the restaurant,
Lounge, Lobby, Offices, twenty-two hotel rooms, bath house and snack bar. In
addition we have eight 8) tennis courts, pool, jacuzzi, sauna and play yards.
The new General Plan's designation for Lot #2 is Tourist Commercial allow-
ing hotel/clubs and associated uses. That zone is acceptable for Lot #2.
The problem is Lot No.1. It has been designated as high density. In 1983,
I originally requested and received approval to build condos on Lot #1. One
of the major objections that I have heard from lenders and investors is that
new Avenue 52 is going to have to much traffic and noise. The property has
streets on three 3) sides and it has been suggested that a corner this busy
should be used for a neighborhood shopping area.
I am currently having drawings and rendering prepared for the proposed
shopping area. We propose if approved' to build a beautiful Spanish type cen-

ter with mission tile roof, covered walkways, arches and public areas with foun-
tains.
As you evaluate the General Plan, I am sure you will come to the same rev-
elation that I have. We have a City that must be looked at completely different
than we did one year ago with the addition of P.G.A. West, Oak Tree West, The
Groves and Crystal Canyon. These four projects represent approximately ten thous-
and 10,000) units.
In trying to*determine what should be built on Lot #1, with condos eliminated,
next came high density apartments. I have had numerous offers but feel that
there are areas in the City better suited for apartments.
In my opinion, from all indications,. the people that live in the Cove will
use new Avenue 52 as their main way to and from their homes. What better place
to have a neighborhood service center than at the intersection that is the main
artery in and out of the Cove.
So at this time I would appreciate your consideration of my request to in-
dicate approval of commercial zoning on my Lot #1.
Thank you for your consideration,
Thomas A. Thornburgh
Owner

CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Ann Jennings, Deputy City Manager
Date: August 29, 1985
Subject: Transportation Development Act Article 8 Claim for
Fiscal Year 1985-86
On July 18, 1985, the Riverside County Transportation Commission
approved an allocation of $9,280,536 to the County and cities for
street and road purposes. The attached table shows the amounts
available for the County and each city within the County for
fiscal year 1985-86. La Quinta's share will be $47,872.00.
While La Quinta will be making a claim for the entire amount,
the Commission has acted to reserve an amount of TDA funds equiv-
alent to 25% of the federal assistance level for federal transit
operating assistance funds1 which means that the Commission will
hold back *792 in reserve funds from La Quinta'a allocation,
which will *e allocated later in the fiscal year.
These funds are utilized for street and road purposes, and it is
respectfully recommended that the Council approve a claim for
$47,792.00 for fiscal year 1985-86.
Respectfully submitted,
Deputy Ci y Manage
