BUSINESS SESSION:
COUNCILIRDA MEETING DATE: January 6,1998
CONSENT CALENDAR:
ITEM TITLE:
STUDY SESSION:
Consideration of a waiver of infrastructure fees for Lapis PUBLIC HEARING:
Energy Corporation for the project located at the
southeast corner of Highway 111 and Dune Palms
Road
RECOMMENDATION:
As deemed appropriate by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Granting of the fee waiver would result in the loss of $48,600 to the Infrastructure Fund that
would otherwise be paid by this development.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW
This item was originally scheduled and placed on the Council agenda for December 16,
1997. The matter was pulled by staff to permit further review of the request. The Lapis
Energy Organization has requested financial assistance for the development of a
compressed natural gas CNG") fueling station and an associated mini-mart type
development on approximately 8 acres located at Highway 111 and Dune Palms Road
Attachment 1). The developer's request is for a waiver of the infrastructure fees for the
entire site, even though approximately one-half the site has been sold for the development
of a self-storage facility. The self storage facility, which consists of approximately four
acres, does not generate sales tax and is not eligible for a waiver.
The developer's proposal indicates that the City will receive a substantial amount of sales
tax from fuel sales bulk and public) and the mini-mart facility. The sales tax is the basis
for the City's participation in the project.
The City's consultants, Rosenow Spevacek Group RSG), has reviewed the project
information provided by the developer and provides the following information based on the
following:
1. Review of the developer request dated October 20,1997.
2. Gross sales projections for the fueling station and mini-mart.
3. Background and overview of the original eight acre development.

ing -> 11sRSG researched the issue of sales tax generation from the sale of fuels. The City's sales
tax consultant, HdL, has indicated that State, Federal, and local sales taxes are collected
on each sale. The distribution of State and Federal fuel taxes is unlike the traditional retail
sales tax generated in each local jurisdiction. State and Federal taxes collected on each
dollar of sales are pooled on a State-wide basis, and the collected taxes are allocated to
jurisdictions based upon population. In addition to these taxes, each gallon of fuel sales
also includes a local sales tax of which one percent 1%) of the total sale is dispensed to
the City where the sale took place point of sale). The developer's pro forma suggests that
the facility will generate approximately $4,200,000 in gross taxable fuel sales starting in
year one and increasing by approximately seven percent per year. This suggests sales
tax revenue of approximately $42,000 per year with annual increases based upon gross
sales. The developer indicates that the City will receive gross sales tax of $651,884 or net
present value amount of $384,618 from fuel sales over a period of ten years discounted
at ten percent.
The City will also receive sales tax from the mini-mart sales based upon the usual one
percent of gross sales. The developer's pro forma projects that the City will receive gross
sales tax of $220,673, or net present value of $85,825 from the mini-mart over a period of
ten years, discounted at ten percent. Taxable gross sales are projected to be
approximately $31 1 per square foot of building area.
RSG developed a similar ten year pro forma Affachment 2) to determine the potential
revenue to the City. The analysis indicates that the City is expected to receive gross sales
tax revenue of $493,041, or net present value amount of $279,615 over a ten year period.
RSG's past projects and analysis reflect a lower sales tax generation from the fuel facility
and a higher sales tax generation from the mini-mart facility due to the use of a higher
gross sales per square foot. RSG's analysis indicates that facilities such as the proposed
mini-mart will produce taxable gross sales of not less than $365 per square foot of building
area.
The pro formas provided by the developer and RSG's analysis indicate that the total net
present value of all sales tax generated over ten years at a ten percent discount rate are
$384,618 based upon the developers assumptions, and $279,615 based upon RSG's
analysis. Based upon this analysis, it appears that the developer is requesting
approximately seven percent of the projected revenue the City would receive to fund his
assistance request.
1. The adopted Economic Development Plan for the City calls for a return on
investment at a rate of between 12% to 15% cash on cash by the third stabilized
year of operation. The applicant's revenue projections for the entire project indicate
that the City will receive in year three, $56,675 in sales tax. RSG indicates the City
will receive $41 403 in sales tax in year three, which does not provide the rate of
return as identified in the Economic Development Plan.

In 1987, the City Council adopted Resolution 87-39 setting forth the Community
Infrastructure Fee Policy Attachment 2). Commercial, industrial and other non-residential
uses are assessed a $6,000 fee per gross acre. The fee is collected at the time a building
permit is issued. The City may waive or reduce this commercial or industrial fee in cases
where the developer demonstrates that the proposed development will generate significant
sales tax and transient occupancy tax to the City. Non-sales tax generally cannot be
exempt from the infrastructure fee.
The City has waived infrastructure fees in the past for the La Quinta Resort and Club and
Transpacific Development, the developer of the One Eleven La Quinta Center at the
northeast corner of Highway 111 and Washington Street.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the City Council are:
1. Authorize the waiver of the Infrastructure Fee; or
2. Provide staff with direction; or
3. Denytherequest

ITEM TITLE: Acceptance of Shared-Entry STUDY SESSION:
Improvements at the La Quinta Village Shopping
Center/La Quinta Village Apartments Entryway, USA PUBLIC HEARING:
Properties Fund, La Quinta Village Apartments, Plot
Plan 96-571
RECOMMENDATION:
Accept the shared-entry improvements at the La Quinta Village Shopping Center/La
Quinta Village Apartments entryway.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The La Quinta Village Apartments project was proposed to the City at the time Capital
Improvement Project CIP) 95-04 was bid. That CIP project involved construction of
traffic signal improvements at the Village Center Drive/Washington Street intersection,
where the La Quinta Village Apartments and the Village Shopping Center share an
entry drive. If the City proceeded with the traffic signal improvements at that shared
entry drive as planned, and the apartments project was approved and constructed,
their improvements of the shared entry drive would require relocation of traffic signal
poles and equipment.
In order to avoid the conflict, the developer proposed that the City place the poles
and equipment in locations to conform with the developer's plans for the shared entry
drive. This concept was approved by the City Council, provided that security for the
cost of the relocation of the traffic signal equipment to the previously planned
locations was held by the City in the event the apartments project was abandoned
see Attachment 1?.
The apartments project was approved and the shared entry drive improvements were
constructed which have facilitated the ultimate location of the City's traffic signal
improvements. Security is no longer required to guarantee relocation of the traffic
signal poles and equipment.

ITEM TITLE: Continued Discussion of Storm Water STUDY SESSION:
Drainage Facilities Serving the Cove Area
PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDATION:
As directed by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
It is estimated the updated hydrology study will cost $30,000 to $50,000. Funding
for this study will be identified during the preparation of the 1998/99 Fiscal Year
budget.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
At the November 18, 1997 Council meeting, staff presented an overview of the storm
water drainage facilities serving the Cove area. Following the staff presentation,
Council discussion and public input focused on drainage issues pertaining to the Calle
Rondo ditch. Two issues emerged from the discussion:
1. The appropriateness of sending drainage to the Calle Rondo neighborhood; and,
2. A suggestion that the existing drainage system should be revised and enhanced
to direct nuisance water to the Whitewater Storm Channel. Pursuant to the
need for more information regarding these issues, the City Council directed
staff to evaluate the suggestion related to directing nuisance water to the
Whitewater Storm Channel via the La Quinta Evacuation Channel.

ing -> 11seNuisance Water to the Whitewater Storm Channel
The Coachella Valley Water District CVWD) is the owner and operator of the
Whitewater Storm Channel. CVWD no longer allows nuisance water to be introduced
into the storm channel because of the marshy riparian habitat that it creates and
supports. Increased federal scrutiny resulting from strict environmental protection
laws regarding waters of the US'?, which the Whitewater Storm Channel is
considered, have made it difficult and a complex procedure for CVWD to perform
maintenance in the channel where riparian habitat has become established. As a
result, CVWD no longer accepts nuisance water drainage because of increased
maintenance costs and the liability it represents.
Environmental protection laws, along with an increased public awareness of
environmental issues and aesthetics, are making it apparent that nuisance water is
an unwanted commodity in any neighborhood if the problem is left for nature to
handle in an unassisted manner. As a result, the suggestion to send nuisance water
to the Whitewater Storm Channel via the La Quinta Evacuation channel may not be
the most desirable solution, until acceptable methods for handling nuisance water are
considered and evaluated.
Several nuisance water handling methods are mentioned and briefly analyzed in
Attachment 1 of this report. It should be noted however, this report does not identify
a particular method for solving the nuisance water problem at this time. Although
nuisance water is a topic emanating from the Calle Rondo ditch discussion, finding
an ultimate solution for the nuisance water coming from the Cove does not
necessarily solve the drainage problem in the Calle Rondo ditch; there are other issues
impacting the Calie Rondo ditch which need to be addressed. Nuisance water is just
part of the problem.
Calle Rondo Ditch
It has been suggested by residents in the Calle Rondo neighborhood that placing a
drainage facility adjacent to Calle Rondo is an inappropriate location. However, it
should be pointed out, Calle Rondo has the lowest elevations of any street or
neighborhood in the original subdivided areas of the La Quinta Cove see Attachment
2). It is essentially the bottom of the hill and a natural location for collecting drainage
water.
Perhaps the single most relevant issue regarding the Calle Rondo drainage facility is
the fact that it is an open channel. Another relevant aspect of the Calle Rondo area
is it is a p' ass througI?"location, not an endpoint" for collecting drainage. Because
it is a pass-through location and not an endpoint, the nuisance water aspect of the
discussion should be set aside for a future discussion. Nuisance water and other
types of drainage pass through virtually every neighborhood in La Quinta, and do so
without notice or objection. The key to transporting these objectionable substances
through a neighborhood is to transport the substance via underground conduits where
it is unnoticed and imparts no adverse aesthetic influence.

ing -> 11sfFINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES
The apparent best location for resolving the nuisance water is the location where it
now collects on the south side of Avenue 52, or another area in the same
approximate vicinity. It seems to be more logical to solve the nuisance water problem
at that location than to spend several hundred thousand dollars transporting it
elsewhere, only to spend an equal amount to properly dispose of it at a different
endpoint location.
Therefore, with regard to resolving the Calle Rondo ditch situation, staff believes it
is appropriate for the City Council to reconsider the same three alternatives mentioned
in the November 18, 1997 staff report.
As mentioned in the previous report, regardless which alternative may be preferred
for improving the Rondo ditch, there is a need to perform a hydrology study to ensure
construction of the final drainage improvements for the Cove area are properly
designed and will protect all homes in the Cove in the event of a 100-year storm.
Specific Calle Rondo ditch improvement alternatives are as follows.
a. Proceed with the current improvement plan for the Calle Rondo ditch
which has the Citrus Course developer landscaping the ditch in its
current configuration pursuant to the Citrus Course conditions of
development.
b. Construct a slump stone block wall on the west side of the Calle Rondo
ditch a few feet behind the curb to screen the ditch from the public
view. The setback area on the street-side of the wall would be
landscaped. The wall would also prevent public access to the ditch and
act as a safety barrier reducing liability exposure during high flow
incidences. The approximate cost of this improvement is $260,000. It
should be noted, this cost estimate does not include any landscaping as
it assumes the Citrus Course developer will install the landscaping at its
expense pursuant to the Citrus Course conditions of development.
c. Construct an underground storm water conduit in the Calle Rondo ditch,
back fill the balance of the ditch with dirt, and landscape the entire area
between the street curb and the Citrus Course perimeter security wall.
This alternative also reduces liability exposure during high flow
incidences. The approximate cost of this improvement is $550,000. It
should be noted, this cost estimate does not include any landscaping as
it assumes the Citrus Course developer will install the landscaping at its
expense pursuant to the Citrus Course conditions of development.

1. Direct staff to include the Council's desired Calle Rondo ditch improvement
alternative in the City's capital improvement program scheduled for discussion
by the City Council in March or April 1998) and to discuss the prioritization of
this project within the context of the capital improvement program.
Additionally, the City Council will discuss the funding for the preparation of a
Hydrology Study and Storm Drain Analysis in order to provide alternative
recommendations for the Cove Drainage area at that time.
2. Reject the Calle Rondo ditch improvement alternatives that involve public
funding and reaffirm the City's intent to have the Citrus Course developer
landscape the ditch in its configuration as a condition of development.
3. Provide alternative direction.

Dear City of La Quinta:
The Valley Partnership is requesting your support in maintaining its AmenCorps proje?t
known as M?OM-Am r?Cc?.ps. Tl?i? pP?e'?t pro'.'ides funds for 30 adult N1ente.r? to wor? jli
time with 180 middle school students in Mecca, Oasis and Thermal. In Year 1 of the grant
the program brought $276,000 in federal funds and 21 full-time jobs to the Valley. In Year
2, after meeting rigorous federal criteria, the grant was increased to $435,000 in federal funds
and 33 full-time jobs.
The Valley Partnership was established in 1991 when it received a 5-year, $1.7 million grant
to create community partnerships for substance abuse prevention and education in the
Coachella Valley. Before that grant expired, VaHey l)artnersllip successfully obtained
funding for the AnieriCorps program. AmenCorps is the domestic Peace Corps wlueh seeks
to increase literacy and school retention. provide alcohol, drug education and prevention, and
expand community service activities.
In exchange for a year of service, AnieriCorps members will receive an education award of
$4,725 this award can only be used to funher their education or training. ie members also
receive a cost of living stipend, chil(1care reimbursement and healthcare insurance.
In order to maintain this program we must secure $167.()()() in matching funds. To date we
have raised $67,()00. We are asking for your support to raise the remaining $100,000 in
matching funds. This will enable us to maintain our Year 2 program, which wilt bring in
$435,000 in federal funds to tile Coachella Valley, thereby securing 33 full-time johs in an
area that desperately needs gainful employment. It will also help us to attract Year 3
AmenCorps funding.
If you are able to contribute lo this cl.k)rt, please send your contribution to us at the Valley
Partnership. If you have any su?gestions as to who may be able to assist us in maintaining
and growing our mentoring program, please forward names or ideas to us at the Valley
Partnership.
Valley Partnership is a 501 c)(3) Non-profit Corporation. Our non-prolit identification
number is #t828558. None of our Board of Directors receive salaries, mileage allowance or
any reimbursement of expenses.
We thank you for your support of this positive program which gives academic support to the
students in the schools, and educational scholarships to mentors who com?ete a year of
service. If you have any questions please feel free to call us at 760) 776-5555.
