MAYOR ATTEST" APPROVED AS TO FORM: C APPROVED AS TO CONTENT: CITY MANAGER lr�. y� 0 MEMORANDUM CITY OF LA QUINTA To: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council From: Caam uuty Development Director Date: July 23, 1985 Subject: VALDIVIA NUISANCE ABATEMENT POLICY ON PARCEL ME!RS i. During the July 2 public hearing on this matter, an issue was raised noting that the Camunity Development Department would not issue a permit fora block wall around the subject property without a parcel merger. After discussion, it was determined that additional information was needed before the nuisance abatement could be resolved. In general, parcel mergers have been required, usually related to a building permit review by the Planning'Staff, in the following types of circumstances: 1. Mien an accessory use or structure is proposed or exists on an adjacent parcel not occupied by a main use. 2. Wen an existing or proposed structure either bisects a property line or encroaches into a required setback. As a'result, these types of mergers are necessary to assure that the proposed construction, or the illegal construction now obtaining a permit, is in compliance with zoning regulations. Building permits cannot be issued which do not comply with zoning regulations. Accessory Use or Structure The zoning principle involved here is that an accessory use or structure cannot be extablished on a lot of record different than that on which the main use exists. In essence, accessory uses or structures are not legal by themselves - they require a main use or structure to which they are accessory and appurtenant to in order to be a permitted use. For example, in an R-1 Zone, a garage, a swimming pool or a home occupation are allowable as accessory uses only if a main use such as a residence is located on the same lot of record. The attached definitions of "accessory building" and "accessory use" from our zoning ordinance emphasize these relationships. Property Line Bisection/Setback Encroachment Although there may be other ways to overcame a property line bisection (i.e., Lot Line Adjustment) and a.setback encroachment (Variance), the parcel merger is.a quicker and easier solution. Generally, these circumstances arise flan existing structures constructed without a permit or constructed with a permit, but located too close or on a property line.. It is pretty evident that either circumstance must be corrected as part of any City review. STAFF REPORT - City Council July 23, 1985 Page 2. A review of our files indicates that there have been 18 recorded parcel mergers since incorporation. Of these, nine were required to facilitate construction of new structures on parcels separate from the main parcel (1 carport, 2 garages, 4 pools, 2 walls), five were required to correct existing property line bisections, and four were voluntary (no City requirement). It should be noted that there have been at least sane cases where,a merger was being required, but the owner chose not to proceed. Mile there are no records of these, they probably are similar to those which are recorded. In considering the Valdivia situation, the block wall and the associated yard being enclosed by the wall have been considered'to be accessory structures/uses which are only allowable if on the same lot as the main use. It is also likely that Staff was aware of the extensive storage and probable business activity and did not want,to facilitate those activities which would generally be detrimental to a residential area. Under current interpretation,'any fencing which would enclose.and make part or all of an adjacent parcel appurtenant to another parcel on'which a house is located, ;Wornec:7to a parcel merger.

Box 944 La Quinta, CA 92253 Dear Ms. Acosta: This letter is in response to your questions concerning fencing requirements and satellite dish requirements as they affect your property located at 52-855 Avenida Diaz. Fencing Requirements At the time that you obtained the fence permit, a parcel merger was a requirement based upon the interpretation of various sections of existing zoning and subdivision regulations. Several months subsequent to.your parcel merger (No. 85-016 recorded May 24, 1985) the City Council reviewed this interpretation in conjunction with another matter and changed the interpretation of these regulations as it pertained to fencing. Enclosed you will find a copy of a Staff Report on'the fencing/parcel merger issue (this explains the background of the interpretations) and a copy of the July 23 minutes indicating the City Council action changing the interpretation. It should be clear that the merger requirement placed on your project was consistent with practice in effect at the time of your application and that there was no consideration to change the regulations until several months later. Satellite Dish Requirements The Uniform Administrative Code lists those buildings, structures, equipment and other devices which are exempt.from the requirement for a permit. All other structures, etc., are required to obtain a permit. From the attached Code sections, you will note that satellite dish structures are not included in the exempt list so a permit from the Community Development Department is needed. However, there has not been an enforcement program in the past to assure that permits are obtained and a recent effort has been made to remedy this problem... Enclosed you will find copies of the applicable "permit requirement" Code sections and the fee schedules. MAILING ADDRESS - P.O. BOX 1504 - LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA 92253 Page 2. Building permit fees are based.on the valuation of the improvement (i.e. $1500 satellite dish would be $41.75, a $2500 dish $64.02, etc.). This includes a 65% plan check fee. The electric permit fee would be $12.00. Normally, there would also be a 100% penalty surcharge for construction without a permit but due to.apparent confusion relative_ to permit requirements for dishes, penalties will not be charged for existing installations. Contact the Building Division for the exact amount of your, permit fees. In addition, you should also be.aware that satellite dishes are also subject to zoning setback requirements. In your case,it appears that the only setback which might be a concern is the 10-foot rear yard. The supporting system for thedish shall be located a minimn of 10-feet from the rear property line. I am sorry that this response took a little longer that originally anticipated, but it was necessary to obtain background information from several other Staff to allow a response which was specific to your situation. If you have any questions, do not.hesitate to contact my office.
