CONTEMPLATED ZONING PROPOSAL AND DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
PROPOSAL, SAID REGULATIONS TO BE IN EFFECT ON AN

SECTION 65858.
The city council of the City of La Quinta does ordain as follows.'
SECTION 1 From and after the effective date of this Ordinance, and for
the period during which this Ordinance remains in effect, and notwithstanding
any other ordinance, resolution or regulation of the City or the County of
Riverside to the contrary, no officer, employee or department administering
City business shall accept or process any application for a building permit
for or related to development of any new residential project or single-family
house, in any P-i zone of the City unless and until the Planning Commission
has granted a plot plan approval for such project or house, utilizing in
general the procedures and criteria set forth in Section 8.30 of the City?s
zoning ordinance and in particular making findings that:
a) the a?chitectural aspec?s of the development will be compatible
with, and not detrimental to, the surrounding neighborhood; and
b) the landscaping for the development will be compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood and will be suitably maintained as
represented, after completion of the project; and
c) that there is adequate justification and need for the development
to proceed at the time applied for, so that it will not foreseeably
and probably give rise to a blighted or nujsance situation.
SECTION 2. Section 1 of this Ordinance shall not apply to:
a) the addition to Or of existing buildings; and
b) projects implementing in whole or in part a plan of development
which had been revie?ed and approved by the Planning Commission
upon a finding that such project will probably conform to and
comply with the new zoning proposal and development control
proposal mentioned in Section 3 of this Ordinance.
SECTION 3. URGENCY. This Ordinance is adopted as an urgency measure
pursuant to the authority of Section 65858 of the Government Code of the
State of California, for the immed]ate preservation and protection of the
public safety, health and welfare, and shall take effect immediately upon its
adoption and passage by at loast a four-fifths vote of the City Council. The
declaration of the facts constituting the urgency is as follows. Because the
City of La Qi]inta has just repent] y boon iocorporated? n-nd because a very high
number of constructed but unoccupied houses in the P-i zones of the City have
caused undue amounts of public nu?sann.e, vandalism and crime problems within
said areas, the public interest now requires a systematic review and comare-
hensive analysis of a General Plan as well as the ordinances designed to
impl?ment that plan. It is contemplated that from such studies, which are

soon to be conducted by the City Council and the Planning Department, there will
emerge a new zoning proposal and development control proposal for the City, and
during the interim period while this can be acco?plished, it is essential that
the controls imposed by this Ordinance be iraintained, so that uses which would
otherwise be established and developed during the interim period will not
thereafter be in confliot with the contemplated zoning proposal and development
control proposal as aforesaid.
SECTION 4. EFFECTIVE PERIOD OF O?DINANCE. This Ordinance shall remain in
effect for a four-month period pursuant to Section 65858 of the Government
Code of the State of California, unless sooner repealed or otherwise modified,

TO. The La Quinta City Council
FROM: The Task Force for Animal Control 2
Co-Chairmen, Marilyn Knecht and Jack Edwards
The Task Force for Animal Control met recently to disc?ss control of
the stray and annoyance problems in the City of La Quinta.
We have formulated two plans:
PLAN 1: To solve the immediate problem of abandoned and stray dogs
and those running in packs, we suggest the purchase by
La Quinta of three Havahart" dog traps to humanely secure
these animals. It is also recommended that the City purchase
at least one Havahart" trap for cats.
The traps would be requested by residents with animal p:?oblem.?
through the City Hall, and would be delivered with instruction.
regarding their proper use. The resident would report a trapi:>
animal immediately to City Hall or the Animal Shelter) for
einptying.
Since La Quinta is still under contract with the Animal Shelte?
the County would transport any caged animal to the Shelter at
no cost to the City. The Animal Shelter will empty a trap the
day of notification into a ventilated, air conditioned truck
for transport of the animal. A dog will be held at the sheltc,t
for five days for claiming by its owner after which time it
will be put up for adoption.
PLAN 2. To solve future problems of abandoned or stray animals or
animals creating a disturbance, we suggest that the City
arrange to deputize an adult either a volunteer or one paid
by the City) who will be qualified to give warnings to
anirnal owners or to capture and imnound animals. This rson
to be uniformed and insured by the City of La Quinta and
employed during those hours designated by the City. The COU.2t
will train this individual at no cost to the City.
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THESE TWO FOR??ULATED PLANS, it is suggested that:
A. The organizations Lend a Paw" and Animal Samaritans" be
contacted when animals are transported from La Quinta to
the Animal Shelter. These organizations attempt to fin
able homes for animals up for adoption.
B. In Cooneration with the County of Riverside, the CiLy of
La Quinta, with the assistance of volunteers, can onduc?
a rabies clinic for the convenience of resicents of
La Quinta who have nimals reQuiring licensing. This
clinic would be conducted in Septe:'?ber at the local fire

REPORT TO THE CITY OF LA Q TA REGARDING DOMESTIC WATER SL LY
FROM THE DOMESTIC WATER TASK FORCE Kay Wolff, Chairperson, Ginger & Daniel Aguayo, Jeanne &
Chuck Howe, Johnny' Johnson and Stanley Sniff, Sr.)
*******WHO SUPPLIES DOMESTIC WATER TO LA QUINTA? Coachella Valley Water District and Southern
California Water Company, as indicated on the reverse map. Both aqencie? utilize ground
water from local wells which is pumped via booster and/or into reservoirs located above
the elevation to be served. Water flows by gravity from reservoirs through water lines.
WH?T IS THE QUALITY OF THE WATER WE RECEIVE IN OUR HOMES? Water quality is measured in terms
of allowable levels of bacteria, total dissolved solids salts) hardness, flouride ni-
trates and trace elements Weekly laboratory tests are required and reported to the
public health department. However, if water lines permit entrance of contaminated sur-
face water due to lack of pressure), substandard water may reach individual homes.
NOTE. An old system does not necessarily mean the system is poor. Proper maintenance
and equipment replacement are essential to all systems.
HOW CAN I VERIFY THE QUALITY OF THE WATER IN MY HOME? You are encouraged to request a water
lab test from your water company. Have them come and take the sample, to prevent con-
tamination. Or call Babcock Laboratories in Riverside 684-18B1). For a fee they will
take a sample and report direct to you.
WHAT AGENCIES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSURING WATER QUALITY? Riverside County Environmental
Health Department, Don Park, Santiary Engineer 342-S2S7): water quality at residenc?s.
California Regional Water Quality Control Board,Ken Landau, WaterRe?ource Control Engi-
fleer 346-7491) for ground water contamination.
WHAT ARE THE PROJECTIONS FOR DOMESTIC WATER S?PPLY FOR THIS AREA? CVWD projects that, at
t?e present level of growth and usage, thereis sufficient ground water from wells in the
area for 200-500 years. At present, all irrigation water is supplied from the Colorado
River, with no changes in that supply anticipated from that source.
WAHT FACTORS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN JUDGING THE CONDITION OF A WATER SYSTEM? Consider water
purity, possible contamination during delivery, condition and adequacy of reservoirs,
sufficient volume as it relates to pressure at the tap and fire flow. NOTE: It is p05-
sible for a system to meet PUC standards and still have dissatisfied customers.
**** AT IS THE CONDITION OF THE TWO WATER SYSTEMS IN LA QUINTA? CVWD seems to be adequate.
SCWC purchased the Santa Carmelita Mutual Water Company in 1978, and at that time, it
was said that the system needed major upgrading. Some 2" lines still exist in La Quinta
according to SCWC, but old and/or inad@.?uate lines are being replaced gradually. An in-
crease in the numoer of customers places a greater burden on the system. Being request?d
for the next ficsal year for SCWC are a new booster station for the top of the cove and
nearly 10,000 feet of pipe.
HOW CAN A WATER SUPPLY TO A NEW AREA BE FINANCED? An assessment to the individual can be
made, based upon the length of line to be installed, or a special assessment district
can be established to assess all new customers equitably. Either way, the customer pa\?s.
**** DOES LA QUINTA HAVE SUFFICIENT FIRE FLOW TO MEET COM?UNITY NEEDS? Fire flow refers to the
availability of water through hydrants for use by the fire department to extinguish fires.
Codes vary from 500 gpm gallons per minute) to over 2500 gpm for a duration of 120
minutes. This is influenced by volume pressure) and size of line. Six-inch mains are
required in the county, with 2" and 4" outlets at each hydrant.
*********WHAT RECO?MENDATIONS DOES THE C&Mft4ITTEE MAKE To THE CITY?
1. S??pport efforts of the c0mm?nity to maintain high quality water with competitive rates.
2. upport the ef?orts of Southern California Water Company to upgrade the ystcm.
3. rXp1O?e the possibility of establishing a special assessment district to install
