The initial study evaluation has determined that the amendment will not present a significant adverse impact and a Negative Declaration has been prepared. BACKGROUND: Currently, the City is using the 1982 edition of the County Zoning Regulations Ord. *348) which became effective August 29, 1982, with the adoption of City Ordinance No. 5. Advertising sign) regulations are found in Chapter 9.212 of the La Quinta Municipal Code. The existing advertising regulations have four major components: Outdoor Advertising Display; On-Site Advertising Structure and Signs; For Sale, Lease or Rent Signs; and Subdivision Signs. The subject Ordinance provides a comprehensive revision of those regulations based on the specific desires and needs of the City of La Quinta. GENERAL PLAN The recently adopted General Plan necessitates the preparation of a new Zoning Ordinance. One major component of the Zoning Ordinance is the regulation of signs. The proposed sign regulations seek to specifically implement sign-related policies of the General Plan, among which are: CULTURAL RESOURCES ELEMENT Scenic Highways/Vistas Policy 5.2.4 Prevention of visual blight shall be enhanced by addition of a comprehensive sign ordinance. MR/APPRSPNS. 008 BIB] 10-28-1998-U01 03:48:34PM-U01 BASIC-U01 CC-U02 08-U02 04-U02 1987-U02 G<MHa COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ELEMENT village Commercial Policy 6.3.5 The City shall prepare and adopt a Specific Plan for the village at La Quinta area as soon as possible with specific design standards, including landscaping, signing, building architecture and streetscape criteria. COMPARISON WITH OTHER CITIES Prior to the preparation of draft sign regulations, contact was made with Chamber of Commerce committee members and City Council member liaison, existing City ordinances, ordinances from other cities/counties, industry literature and other planning-oriented professional publications were reviewed. The sign regulations for cities within the Valley appear to be similar, in that the approach is to provide for integrated project/sign development. Each city regulates the amount of signage slightly differently, depending, presumably, upon the image to be achieved. The level of signing provided in the proposed regulations compares favorably with other cities, with the added flexibility of Commission discretion when considering new development and special installations. ANALYSIS 1. The draft regulations incorporate the policies of the General Plan and the following general comments of the Planning Commission: a. Provide flexibility; and b. Encourage signage to be integrated into the overall project development. 2. Significant points for attention within the regulations are noted as follows: a. There are two types of reviews contemplated: The Standard Sign Review, which is conducted by Staff; and the Planned Sign Program, which is considered by the Planning Commission. When only one sign is proposed, Staff will administratively process the request using the Standard Sign Review Program. However, if two or more signs are contemplated or if site development review is otherwise required of the Planning Commission, the sign program will receive Commission consideration. This process is termed a Planned Sign Program. In actual practice, most new commercial development in La Quinta will occur and be established by means of Commission review, and a sign program will be part of this larger submittal and review. MR/APPRSPNS 008 BIB] 10-28-1998-U01 03:48:34PM-U01 BASIC-U01 CC-U02 08-U02 04-U02 1987-U02 G<MH The Commission, in taking action on a request, may make adjustments, such as permitting additional sign area, number of signs, alternative location, additional sign height, and different types of signs. b. The decision of the Planning Director or Planning Commission is final unless appealed. The regulations also identify exempt, prohibited and temporary signs. C. The main body of the sign regulations Section 9.212.120) is found on pages 15 through 19. This section identifies the general regulations which are used as a guide during planning Commission review. The major types of residential and some specific commercial uses have been noted. Those uses not otherwise individually listed are reviewed using the regulations Section 9.212.120 B.) found on page 17. d. Existing signs are permitted to remain unless the sign is a danger to the public, or was installed or enlarged without a permit. e. New off-premise outdoor advertising signs are not permitted. This does not preclude temporary off-premise signs such as political, special event and open house signs, which are permitted elsewhere in the regulations. f. As with the other components of the Zoning Ordinance, these proposed regulations only concern the general installation of signing on private property. Signing in the public right-of-way would either be the subject of an encroachment permit or considered in Municipal Code Chapter 5.64, I 1Special Advertising Devices PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION The Planning Commission has conducted a study session and a public hearing on the proposed sign regulations. Various changes have been made to the original draft based upon the Commissioners' input, public comment1 and specific comments received from the Chamber of Commerce. The major changes/clarifications made are: 1. Clarification of the standard and planned sign program. 2. Added provision for a height adjustment Section 9.212.030 E., page 6). 3. Clarified the appeal process Section 9.212.070, page 7). 4. Required flagpoles in commercial zones to be reviewed by the Planning Commission. 5. Added provision for temporary grand opening signs Section 9.212.110(6), page 13). MR/APPRSPNS.008 BIB] 10-28-1998-U01 03:48:34PM-U01 BASIC-U01 CC-U02 08-U02 04-U02 1987-U02 G<MH6. Limited the number of days a political sign may be displayed before an election to 60 days Section 9.212.110(7), page 13). 7. Clarified window signs Section 9.212.110(10), page 15). 8. Eliminated provisions for individual subdivision signs in favor of the City-sponsored program now being developed). 9. Eliminated the provisions for new off-premise signs, except for some small temporary signs. The attached Final Draft Sign Regulations represent the Planning Commission's recommendation to the City Council, which was unanimously adopted on June 23, 1987. FINDINGS 1. The proposed sign regulations are consistent with the La Quinta General Plan policies which identify the need for comprehensive sign regulations to prevent visual blight. 2. Approval of the amendment will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts. 3. The amendment provides for flexibility and encourages a total sign design approach as it relates to the project development.

The first scenario required a 36/64 ratio of existing development to future development and the second required a 52/48 ratio of existing development to future development. The results of our analysis suggests that the Infrastructure Fee be raised to at least 2 3/4% or 3 1/2% of Valuation and the fee cap be extended to $6,000.00 per unit depending on which scenario is adopted. Scenario I Scenario II Amount to be Raised $13,811,424.00 $10,391,040.00 Projected Units 3,500.00 3,500.00 Avg. Fee Required Per Unit $3,946.00 $2,969.00 The rates and cap necessary to generate the average fee required for each scenario is: Scenario I Scenario II Average Fee Required $3,946.00 $2,969.00 Rate 3 1/2% of Valuation/ 2 3/4% of Valuation/ $6,000.00 cap $6,000.00 cap Pro forma Average Fee $3,885.00 $3,052.00 We recommend the Council select one of the two scenarios presented and adopt the appropriate rate and cap to match the choice.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS WERE IDENTIFIED DUE TO GROUND SHAKING, AND IMPACTS TO ANIMAL LIFE, TO PUBLIC SERVICES/UTILITIES AND SCENIC VIEWS WERE ALSO IDENTIFIED. THESE IMPACTS CAN BE MITIGATED TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY WILL NOT BE SIGNIFICANT, AND A NEGATIVE DECLARATION HAS BEEN PREPARED. PROPOSAL BACKGROUND The original tentative tract application incorporated a General Plan Amendment GPA) request to change the land use map designation from Open Space to Low Density Residential 2-4 units per acre). The amendment was subsequently withdrawn, based on a determination by MR/APPRSPNS.011 1 BIB] 10-28-1998-U01 03:48:34PM-U01 BASIC-U01 CC-U02 08-U02 04-U02 1987-U02 G<M8Hthe Planning Commission that a zoning designation of w-2-10 could accommodate the project concept, with the allowance for density transfer to the developable portions 9.6 acres) of the site and still be in conformance with the General Plan based on the fact that the Open Space category does not specify density. Subsequently, the Change of Zone request was modified from R-1-12,000 to w-2-10, which allows 12.68 units over the entire 126.8 acre site. A variance request is sought based upon the topographical constraints of the property, in that only 9.6 acres 7.5%) of the Applicant's property is developable, and that the City will likely require dedication of the remaining property mountain) as a public view easement. ANALYSIS 1. A zone change from w-2-20 to w-2-10 will accommodate the proposal, while retaining much of the site as open space which is consistent with the Open Space designation of the General Plan. 2. The zoning proposed is considered consistent with the General Plan land use designation, and intent and policies of the Open Space land use designation, given the development limitations. The density, based upon the developable acreage of + 9.6 acres, is 1.25 units per acre. 3. A variance is requested to allow a smaller lot size than the required minimum square footage of 20,000 square feet. Proposed lot sizes range from 12,943 square feet to 17,325 square feet, widths range between 95 to 130 feet, and depths between 78 and 152 feet. These are relatively large lot sizes given the amount of developable area, topographical constraints and access requirements. 4. One of the criteria evaluated before granting a variance is to assure that it does not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with other properties in the same area and zone. The intent of the Open Space category is to limit development, not to preclude it. This site does have developable area which can be serviced by necessary access and utilities. The issue is whether or not the variance is justifiable. It could be argued that there would be no granting of special privileges, as other w-2 zoned properties in the area are not as severely limited by topography, thereby having greater development opportunity than the subject site. 5. Tract Map A. Circulation The project has access from Avenue 54 by proposing a bridge crossing over the All American Canal. This would access a private road system via an entry gate. The 12 residential MR/APPRSPNS.011 2 BIB] 10-28-1998-U01 03:48:34PM-U01 BASIC-U01 CC-U02 08-U02 04-U02 1987-U02 G<M9H lots would front on the easterly right-of-way of the private roadway, where a series of detention basins would be generally located to the west refer to Attachment *3). Clearances for the proposed bridge and a 24-foot emergency loop" access within CVWD right-of-way have tentatively been granted and are on file. Secondary access to the project side of the canal is available via a CVWD access road from the west side of Jefferson Street along the north and west sides of the canal). CVWD has also given permission to the Applicant to use this roadway as secondary access. Any modification/improvement to the road to make it passable for emergency access should be in accordance with City requirements. The proposed private road is 32 feet in right-of-way width, which has been accepted in the past provided parking is restricted to only one side. A parking plan should be provided for City review. Also, future review of any proposed entry gate will be conducted by the Planning and Development Department. B. Site Design The proposal concerns only the division of land. No development currently is proposed. All future dwellings and structures would be reviewed by the Planning and Development Department by staff. As noted previously, the proposed lot sizes do not all meet the minimum requirements for size, depth and width. Attachment #2 shows the provided lot sizes and the minimum requirements of the w-2 zone. Five of the 12 lots meet depth/width requirements, while none meet the minimum square footage requirements. The reduced lot width/depth/size would not be considered significant in terms of their developability, as the lot sizes proposed are substantially larger than a standard R-1 lot 7,200 square feet). The existing grade is approximately 15 feet below the top of the canal levee. Preliminary grading plan shows finished pad elevations at between 8 and 10 feet above the levee. Limiting building heights to 17 feet and requiring screening along the canal-side subdivision boundary should reduce any impacts to the PGA West development relative to views, as well as reduce hazards to residents from the adjacent canal right-of-way. Detention areas should also be screened to avoid possible safety hazards. Protective barriers should be provided along the westerly limits of development to mitigate potential falling rock and possible landslide hazards see Attachment *3). A geological engineering report should be required to identify specific actions which will be necessary to protect the developed areas prior to any construction activity.

Relationship to General Plan The following elements relate to the Applicant's proposal: HAZARDS ELEMENT: Policy 4.1.3 identifies watersheds of 20 percent slope or less as limited development areas. These areas, shall limit development to access roads, rural homesites, and recreational uses only." Based on the EIR prepared for PGA West, the project is at the edge of a tributary drainage area to Lake Cahuilla and the All American Canal, consisting primarily of mountain slopes. While the proposal might be construed to be inconsistent with the subject policy, it should be noted that the Open Space category has not been fully refined, relative to densities and developable area. Projects are evaluated on a case-by-case basis when located in the Open Space category. If the project can retain the tributary and on-site drainage and reduce impacts due to flooding, it could be argued that the proposal can maintain consistency with the policy's intent, which is to reduce flood hazard. CULTURAL RESOURCES ELEMENT: Policy 5.1.6 requires parkland dedication or in-lieu fees by residential developers. Dedication of lot 13 117.2 acres) as a public view easement can be considered as complying with this policy, as the parcel could be used in the future to develop a hiking trail system. This easement will also protect potential bighorn sheep and prairie falcon areas, although past environmental documentation has indicated that no such activity has been monitored. policy 5.2.3 requires undergrounding of utilities wherever possible. Imperial Irrigation has indicated that the existing overhead lines could be undergrounded if CVWD is amenable to this. Policy 5.3.1 requires that development plans be reviewed by a qualified archaeologist prior to final approval. This would be required prior to final map approval. INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT: Policy 7.4.4 reiterates the provision for undergrounding of existing overhead power facilities. D. Environmental Potential adverse impacts due to the proposal should be mitigated through the proposed approval conditions. Design restrictions can be attached to create an attractive, compatible appearance with PGA West. The Applicant will have to demonstrate that specific technical engineering requirements can and will be met should the project be approved.

The secondary access was recommended by the Fire Marshal because of the length of the proposed cul-de-sac 2,250 feet). Normal fire department practice is to prohibit cul-de-sacs of more than 1,000 feet unless a secondary access is provided. The Applicant proposed to use the CVWD service road along the All American Canal from Jefferson Street. Upon review of this proposal, the Water District has stipulated conditions which require the Applicant to install a chain link fence along the proposed access, and to secure written approval from the ad*acent property owner Landmark Land, Oak Tree West Project). Therefore, the following condition was recommended to address the concern of the Fire Marshal: Condition 45: The Applicant shall maintain secondary access along the CVWD service road, from Jefferson Street along the north and west sides of the All American Canal. The signed contractual agreement for this provision shall be submitted to the Planning and Development Department and the Fire Marshal's office. Applicant shall be responsible for any improvement/upgrading of the access road to City standards. As an alternative to the above Condition, because of the concern of the CVWD as identified in the attached letter, the Council may wish to consider one of the following: ALTERNATIVE *1: Add a second paragraph to the existing Condition *5 to read, As an alternative to the above, the Applicant may choose to construct two separate one-way bridges across the All American Canal at the end of Avenue 54." ALTERNATIVE *2: The Council may choose to eliminate Condition *5 because the primary bridge should provide adequate access to the proposed 12 residential units. The cost and aesthetics of providing the secondary access or providing two separate bridges may not justify the future possibility of needing or using the secondary access. Currently, Lake Cahuilla Park is served by a single access from Jefferson Street which has not created a problem.

ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS: WASHINGTON PLAZA ASSOCIATES AND LA QUINTA 111, LTD. LOCATION: AVENUE 46; BETWEEN THE WHITEWATER RIVER CHANNEL'S SOUTHWESTERLY BOUNDARY AND THE NORTHEASTERLY RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE OF STATE HIGHWAY 111. BACKGROUND: THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THE VACATION OF A PORTION OF AVENUE 46 IN ORDER TO COMMERCIALLY DEVELOP THE CONTIGUOUS PROPERTIES SEE ATTACHED CASE MAP). CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65402 REQUIRES THAT THE PLANNING AGENCY" REPORT ON A PROPOSED ROAD ABANDONMENT RELATIVE TO ITS CONFORMANCE WITH THE AGENCY'S ADOPTED GENERAL PLAN. SECTION 9.16.060 OF THE LA QUINTA MUNICIPAL CODE DESIGNATES THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AS THE PLANNING AGENCY FOR SUCH PURPOSES. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: AN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AND IT HAS BEEN TENTATIVELY DETERMINED THAT APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST WILL NOT RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT. ANALYSIS In considering this request, several determinations should be made, including: * Consistency of the proposed abandonment with the General Plan. * Evidence of public benefit of proposed abandonment. * Demonstration that roads proposed for abandonment are not needed for future use. General Plan Consistency: The vacation of this portion of Avenue 46 could be considered to be in compliance with the adopted Circulation Plan since 60-foot-wide, local streets are not shown and MR/MEMOWN. 003 1 BIB] 10-28-1998-U01 03:48:34PM-U01 BASIC-U01 CC-U02 08-U02 04-U02 1987-U02 G<MFHpolicy 7.5.13 recommends street intersections to be a minimum of 1/4 mile apart. The proposed street vacation is also consistent with the Highway ill Specific Plan's concept of limited access onto Highway 111. Public Benefit: Vacation of this segment of Avenue 46 will primarily benefit public traffic safety by eliminating the odd 46th Avenue intersection with Highway 111. It will also eliminate the need for, at a minimum, a low-flow grade crossing through the Whitewater Channel. Such a crossing would create additional flood hazard, high maintenance burdens and visual sight distance conflicts. Future Use: Avenue 46 will not be necessary for future use as access or circulation. Access to both affected parcels can be obtained from Highway 111 or Washington Street, as a 1shared" access. Secondary access easements will be obtained from the properties along the Whitewater River Channel, in order to accommodate interior parcels with no secondary access. Utilities: The proposed vacation is not anticipated to affect the future provision of utilities in the area. Utilities can be relocated, where necessary, and easements will be reserved where necessary. To date, the Gas Company has identified an existing gas main located within the right-of-way.

The Executive Committee's intent was that these funds be replaced by CVAG's members utilizing the standard CVAG formula based half on population and half on assessed valuation. I received a billing from CVAG today requesting payment for La Quinta's participation towards the cost of this third party review. The bill, totalling $653, comes from the CVAG Executive Committee as a strong request for payment, not an assessment. RECOMMENDATION It is respectfully recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to process a warrant, payable to CVAG, in the amount of $653, to cover the cost of La Quinta's participation towards a Riverside County third party" review of the proposed Colmac/Cabazon Biomass Power Plant.

This policy will be presented for a vote at the annual League of Cities Convention in October. Enclosed is the working draft of the policy including the revisions. It is extremely important that you present this to your council for comments and/or revisions. Those of us in Southern California who rely on aqueduct water from Northern California for survival have a vital interest in a sound water policy; one that will guarantee us a water supply for the future. Some areas of the State that export water to the South would prefer to retain the water in the Delta or San Francisco Bay. Please review this material and send your comments or revisions to: Mayor Pro-tern Dale Bohnenberger CIO City of La Quinta P. 0.

Roger Hirdler, Community Safety Director Date: July 13, 1987 Subject: Cove Natural Gas Survey Information Staff has completed the natural gas survey for the cove area of the city. The city received 35 responses to our questionnaire that was placed in the May/June newsletter. of the 35 responses, two were for the same address. Staff used a large map of the cove area to try and see if there was a pattern or cluster of owners to make it feasible, and also economical for all parties to have access to natural gas. As you can see from the map, there is no definite pattern, probably due to the small response. The gas company advises that the cost for gas mains is $7.00 per foot. That would be in addition to the following allowances: Range & oven 50 feet Water heater 80 feet Forced air furnace 7 feet first 10,000 BTU's & 5 feet each 10,000 BTU's There is no allowance for swimming pools or spas. There would have to be 5 or 6 property owners per block to have gas mains installed. Possibly we should run the survey again in late fall. It might catch more of the seasonal residents at home.
