Gentlepeople:
This is to inform you that we Intend to start the removal of sand and
gravel from the southwest quarter of Section 19, TownshIp 6 South,
Range 7 east, SBE&M under Surface Mining permit #127 granted by
Riverside County Board of Supervisors, December 3, 1981, a copy of
which is enclosed for your information.
This business will be of significant benefit to the City of La Quinta
in generating sales tax revenue and in supplying materials needed for
the development of La Quinta from sources close at hand at cost savings
to developers and alleviating truck traffic across the Valley from
sources further away. Furthermore, this secluded dry wash, out of sight
and sound of all civilization, is the ideal location for this activity
and the highest and best use for the land
Although we have grandfather rights" under the conditions set forth by
the County of Riverside, nevertheless we are now a loyal part of the
City of La Quinta and it is our desire and intention to work in harmony
and to mutual advantage with our City. To that end, I would like for
you to ratify that permit.
It has been suggested that we might allow provisions for a foot trail
throu9h the property which lies between the La Quinta Cove and Lake
Cahuilla. We find this suggestion to be quite worthy of consideration.

You will note that Condition #25 states that the permit must be used
within 2 years after final approval, which date I construe to have been
December 3, 1981. We are prepared to start prior to that date in order
to comply but, in consideration of the economic conditions extant at
this time, I would appreciate your understanding in an extension of one
year to December 3, 1984 in which to start operations.
I very much appreciate your consideration. Let me say again that I do
expect to work with the City Council of La Quinta at all times in an
aura of mutual understanding and benefit. Such has been my relationship
throughout the Coachella valley for a lifetime, and I look forward to
including the City of La Quinta in my circle of friends.

X MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Planning Corccissi
Date: June 7, 1983
Subject. ThATIVE mAcr MA NO. 19203, AMENDED NO. 1, A Reguest to Divide 15.8
Acres into c Lots and to Construct a 60-Unit Statutory Condniniurn
Project, The Desert Club of La Qninta, Applicant
BACKGROUND
Tentative Tract Map No. 19203, Arended No.1, is a request by the Desert Club of
La Quinta to divide approximately 15.8 acres into two lots and to construct a
60-unit statutory condominium project Lot 1. No additions to the existing
Desert Club development on Lot 2 are proposed. A statutory condarnlliMn project
is a development in which a person buys either that portion of the building con-
taining his dwelling or the *`airspace' enclosed within the walls of the dwelling
without owning the property on which the unit stands. Thus the property is not
divided into separate lots for each individual unit, but remains in one lot
under crrron or single ownership
If the City Council approves this tract map, they will be giving tentative approval
of the project. Before the land division can be recorded making the lot split legal
or official and before any construction can be done on the proposed condominiums,
the Applicant irtust carply with all the conditions of approval and sukt the final
map and plans to the City Council for approval. At that tire, the Council will
review the plans to ensure that the project coirlies fully with the City's require-
ments.
PFxTECT DESCRIPTTON
The following is a brief description of the major points of the design for Tentative
Tract Nap No. 19203, Amanded No.1.
* There are eight, two-story buildings with a total of 60 dwellings. The six
buildings in the north portion of Lot 1 contain two and three-bedroom units,
while the two remaining buildings adjacent to the Desert Club contain only
one-bedroom units. The 25 feet high buildings are below the 50-foot
height limit for the R-3 zone.
* The proposed floor plans show the three-bedroom units with 1,344 square feet,
the two-bedroom units with 1,220 square feet and the onbedroJft units with
750 square feet. The current R3*4000 zoning requires a minimLirn dwelling
size of 1,220 square feet the Applicant is requesting a Change of Zone to
permit the one-bedroom units).

* The plan provides 135 parking spaces, 58 of which will be covered by open
carports. The covered parking spaces will be located along the north boundary
adjacent to the realigned Avenue 52.
* The plan provides for the realignment of Avenue 52 in general accordance with
the adopted Avenue 52 Specific Plan.
* The primary access to the condominiums will be from Averuda neudas with a
secondary access from the new Avenue 52.
\NALYSIS OF ThNTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 19203, AMENDED NO.1
Oonsistency with the zoning
The property is currently zoned R3*4000, Oeneral Residential, requiring 4,000
square feet of lot area per dwelling unit with a minimLim dwelling size of 1,200
square feet. Regarding the overall density of the project, the proposed develo
inent is consistent with both the zoning and the General Plan designation of Medium
density Residential 5-10 dwellings per acre).
Concerning the size of the dwellings, the one-bedroom units with 750 square feet
are bel the minIflum 1,200 square foot requirement of the zoning. The Applicant
intends to request a Cnange of Zone to R-3-4 000, permitting these snal ler units
The Planning Cmiission supported this proposed Change of Zone on the following
grounds: that 750 square feet is an appropriate size for onbednoan units; the
dwellings are intended as vacation or second-h units, with the part-time
residents desiring maller dwellings; the dwellings are attached or row housing,
making their smaller size less apparent than if they were detached single-fanily
houses; and the majority of the units ceed the miflinum 1,200 square foot require-
mnt.
Site Plan Design
As shown on E::hibit A", the Applicant proposes to locate the bulk of the parkina
and the structures parallel to the northern site boundary and the new aligneent of
Avenue 52. For the 630-foot lenh of the parcel, the buildings will be located in
a straight line, 15 feet apart, with a 15-foot setback fran the east property line
and a 59-foot setback fran the west property line The setback of these buildings
fran the new Avenue 52 right of way ranges fran 45 feet for the westenst building
to 70 feet for the eastern[Tost building. This setback area will be developed with
a 25-foot-wide driveway and two rows of parking totalling 94 spaces, 58 of which
will be covered by carports. The rining two buildings containing the smallest
units will be located adjacent to the xisting tennis courts and pool area of the
Desert Club with a 34-foot setback fran Avenida Bernudas. Additional parking is
proposed adjacent to the cn open area and Avenida Eernmidas. Regarding this
site plan or layout of the proposed developeent, half of the miission had the
following concerns:
* The project is oriented with its back or rear to Aenue 52, which will be the
major traffic corridor for the cove area. The appearance of the project fran
the street is the same concern which was addressed on the Tancimark Thind Company
project approved on Avenue 50, a road which will have far less traffic than
Avenue 52.

* Although the overall density of the project may not be incanpatible with the
adjacent R-l singlfanily residential zoning located to the north, east and
west, the concentration of buildings along the north boundary creates an
appearance of a high density developnent. This could be incoppatiole with the
surrounding lensity singlfanily housing developeent.
* The nearly solid wall of buildings could adversely affect the view fran the
houses alng the north side of Avenue 52, which will rrost likely be oriented
southward to enjoy the view of the cove' 5 mQnta ins. These ts tory units
could dninate this view for the adjacent residents.
* By locating the parking area only the rninim reguired 3 feet hack fran the
property lines, the six-foot-high wall ich must be constructed to screen the
parking will be built on the prerty lines along Avenue 52 and Avenida Bernudas.
* The location of the main entrance off Avenida Bernudas is not consistent with
the future cfrculation pattern. The most cmrn travel route for the residents
returning hane will be south on Washington Street and then west on Avenue 52.
The proposed location of the entrance will result in the residents having to
turn left at Avenida Bemidas and left again to enter the project.
Building Design
The following were the concerns regarding the proposed building and carport designs
* Concerning the rear view along Avenue 52, the cTination of the height, rectangular
shape, flat straight lines of the roof, and flat building face or wall with only
two rows of windows will create a sense of greater bulk and inass than other
developeent in the area.
* The view fran Avenue 52 of the central stairways for each building and the
stairways connecting the buildings phasize the fact that this is a higher
density deve lopeent.
* The appearance of the two, one-bedroan buildings nphasizes the fact that this
is a higher density develoment with smaller unit sizes.
* The Applicant intends to cover the parking along Avenue 52 with carports. This
would result in the view from Avenue 52 being of a six-foot-high wall and the
roof of the carport.
APpLICAAfS FEDBSIGN OF 1111 PRfT
In response to the Planning Cission's concerns stated at the May 10, 1983 meeting,
the Applicant suimitted a revised set of site and building plans. These plans
address the concerns outlined in this report and also cply substantially with the
recoeeended conditions of approval. ormlly, a developer waits until after approval
of the tentative tract map before redesigning the project to comoly with the condi-
tions of approval. Then the redesigned or final map is subtted to the City Council
for its review and approval. In this case, the Applicant voluntarilv chose to submit
the revised plans prior to tentative approval as a means to denonstrate to the
Planning Cssion and City Council that by clying with the conditions of approval,
the final design of the project will alleviate the concerns mentioned in his report.

Unfortunately, these plans were submitted to staff the sarr day the Planning
Crmission packets were delivered 5-20-83) for the 5-24-83 rreting. Therefore,
there was inadequate tbr for staff to review the plans and receive coeeents frcin
otter agencies. Since the 1icant did not support a continuance of the hearing
to June to provide additional tirr for staff review, the Aeended No.2 tract map
and building plafls were given to the odission for their information only. The
ooission reacted favorably to the changes, particularly the spreading of the
b]ildings and parking areas over nore of the site, the change in the location of
the main entrance to the new Avenue 52, and the changes to the exterior of the
buildings. The Cauiiss ion voted unanirnoisly to approve Tentative Tract Map No.
19203, knnded No. 1, in accordance with the attached conditions.
OPTIONS
There are two alternative courses of action ich the City Council may follow.
First, the Council may cboose to rule on the Aeended No.1 proposal as the
Planning ssion did). This option requires the Applicant to cme back again
to the Cmission and City Council for approval of the location and design of
the proposed buildings and parking layout.
The second option open to the City Council is for it to rule on the Anended No.2
plans. Staff supports this option since the revised plans alleviate the concerns
associated with the previous design.
rciMENnT ION
That the City Council approve Tentative Tract Map No. 19203, Anended No.2, in
accordance with the approved exhibits and subject to the attached conditions; and
that the Council adopt the Negative Declaration for the Environrrental Assessrrnt.

CITY OF LA QUINTA
CLY
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Doug Brown, Community Safety Coordinator
Date: 3June 1, 1983
Subject. MONTHLY DATE MAY 1983
The month of May was highlighted by the first City of La Quinta Picnic
at Lake Cahuilla on May 21. The Community Safety Department has been very
active on an array of projects and programs. Citizen complaints continue to
be a major activity covering a gamut of problems from barking dogs, to old
abandoned vehicles, to rattlesnakes on front lawns. May was anything but
dull in our department.
CRfl4E: On the positive side, the statistics for April 83 vs. April
82 showed an overall decrease of 3% for all criminal activity and a 24%
decrease for burglaries. A group of about 5 persons turned out on May 31
for a reorganizational meeting of the Neighborhood Watch Program. Several
volunteers have come forward for the Crimestopperts Program committee. On
the negative side, burglaries have been high in May. Official statistics
are not in yet, however, unofficially there may have been over 50 burglaries
in May. These burglaries are attributable to a variety of factors including
the weather, drug abuse, departure of winter residents, etc.. The ROSO has
made several arrests during this period.
ANIMAL CONTROL: Two animal sweeps were conducted during May with six
dogs being captured. Ten citations were issued for various violations and
a like number of warnings were given. With the heat of summer upon us we
will be discontinuing use 0 the dog traps for now.
TRAFFIC SAFATY: Eight service requests were processed in May for road
work by the R.C. Road Dept.. The City right-of-ways are being graded to
remove weeds in the lower 1cove" area. Street sweeping has been started for
all city streets with curbs and gutters and will be done regularly. The
intersection of Eisenhower and Tampico was repaved on May 27. Four citizens
have been appointed to the Traffic Safety Committee and the first meeting of
this group is scheduled for une 9. Special training will be given to the
Traffic Safety Committee at no charge by the Automobile Club of Southern
California later in June. This will help orient them as to their duties.
ABATEX1NT PROGRAMS: During May we abated four vehicles with more
targeted for removal. A 1'windshield survey" has resulted in over 150 parcels
being slated for weed abatement action. The weed abatement program is a
joint project with the R.C. Fire Department. Initial parcels to be abated
are those posing a fire hazard to exposures adjacent wood fences, homes, etc.).
If time allows, those lots not adjacent to exposures will alto be abated.

WXMONTHLY UPDATE, CONT. PAGE 2
LITTER CONTROL: Our roadside maintenance contractor has completed
work in removing all of the oleander debris along Eisenhower that Steve
Simonsen had cut. Some sporadic dumping has also been obBerved and is
slated for leanup very iortly. Avenue 50 between Washington and Jeffer-
son is also scheduled for re-cleaning.
PARAMEDICS: The committee to study paramedics met on May 19 to discuss
that program. Extensive research and study into this desireable program is
underway.
FIRE PROTECTION: La Quinta served as the host on May 10 for a meeting
of the Coachella Valley Fire Marshal1s Association meeting. The topic of the
meeting was Master Planning for Fire Protection!!. Along those lines we are
working with R.C. Fire Dept. to develop a master plan for fire protection
needs in La Quinta. The master plan will include future fire station sites,
manpower requirements, equipment required, inspection programs, and various
methods of financing these services.
DISASTER PREPAREDNESS: On Ma 2 a small town in central California
Coalinga) experienced a major disaster, a devastating earthquake. It is
common knowledge that La Quinta could experience a similar disaster. On
May 12 we participated in a meeting of the Coachella Valley Disaster Manage-
ment group and planning is underway for a disaster drill in this area. On
May 20 we participated as observers for a disaster drill for Riverside County
which was held in Riverside. This event was very revealing as to just how
vulnerable we are to an earthquake. An earthquake is a disaster unto itself,
however, it can spawn a series of other disasters including fires, explosions,
building collapses, mass traffic accidents, flooding, rockslides, etc.. We
are still working on our City Disaster Preparedness Plan and will be getting
assistance from the R.C. Office of Disaster Preparedness by late manner.
Members of the Community Safety Department have also attended meetings
of the La Quinta Property Owner's Association and the La Quinta Chamber of
Commerce this past month. We have been working on our FY 834 budget and
look forward to getting some much needed equipment in the near future.
On May 11 the RCSO put up new Neighborhood Watch Signs on Avenue 50 and
Avenue 52 with one for Washington St. due shortly. That same day, Harrison
Security Bars of Indio donated two sets of window security bars to La Quinta
City Hall at an estimated value of $1O0 A meeting and survey with the
Southern California Water Company has resulted in locating 24 locations in
the cove area where they will remove debris from on and along the roadways
that they are responsible for. SCWC has also indicated to u that they are
developing a fire hydrant maintenance program which has already started.
Respect fully submitted,
Douglas Brown, Coordinator
