ITEM TITLE:
STUDY SESSION:
Discussion of the 1 998-99 Economic Development Plan PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council review the 1 998-99 Draft Economic Development Plan and
provide staff direction on the policies and recommended implementation activities of
the City's economic development effort.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The City of La Quinta is in its third year of a proactive economic development
implementation effort. In June of 1 995, the La Quinta City Council directed staff to
initiate an economic development strategic planning process that was concluded in
May 1 996 with the adoption of the City's Economic Development Plan. The Plan was
subsequently reviewed and updated in June of 1997. Attached is the Draft 1998-99
Economic Development Plan for City Council review. Once adopted, this Plan will be
one of five components that comprise the City's overall strategic planning effort; the
other components include the annual Capital Improvement Program, Resource
Allocation Plan, Cash Flow Analysis, and 1 998-99 Annual Operating Budget.
This report reviews the following:
* The overall policies that the City Council established to guide economic
development implementation efforts.
* The economic development accomplishments for fiscal year 1 997-98.
* The proposed economic development initiatives for fiscal year 1 998-99.

estys Ima?Upon receiving City Council input, staff will then final the 1 998-99 Economic
Development Plan. The final document will subsequently be brought forward to the
City Council for final review and approval.
City Council Goals
On January 27, 1 998, City Council members outlined their individual goals. In
preparing this Economic Development Plan update, staff endeavored to incorporate
all of the Council's goals. To summarize, the economic development goals
enumerated during the meeting were:
Pursue tourist attractions for the Village
Obtain a moderate-priced hotel
Pursue a comprehensive plan for the development of Highway 111
Seek a developer to construct a movie theater
Continue implementing the Economic Development Plan
Market La Quinta's commercial opportunities
Implementation Policies
Section 3 of the Economic Development Plan presents the mission statement and
policies that guide staff's implementation efforts. These policies also define the
parameters within which City investment in private economic development initiatives
are evaluated. When formulating and subsequently adopting the initial Economic
Development Plan, the City Council directed staff to work in a supporting role to
property owners, existing businesses, and the Chamber of Commerce and facilitate
their respective economic development activities.
In this capacity, staff has prepared marketing materials, worked with various property
owners to define their development needs, and participated in joint
tenant/user/developer recruitment efforts. This approach resulted in City
consideration of property owner initiatives that generated The Home Depot, Eagle
Hardware, and the Stamko Auto Mall developments. In addition, negotiations with
theater, mid-price hotels, and retail/entertainment/recreation developers were initiated.
Inasmuch as the latter activities have not yet delivered concrete development
proposals staff has considered the merits of taking a more active role in the economic
development process. This would involve dedicating additional staff resources and
the development of site specific marketing materials.
As the City Council reviews the implementation policies, staff is seeking direction on
the following:
Should the City continue to facilltate the economic development initiatives of
property 0 wners and developers or, instead, should the City commit additional

estys Ima? resources and assume a more active role in promoting market development
opportunities in La Guinta through direct contact wfth retail users and developers?
If the Council elects to pursue a more proactive role, staff may be assigned to work
with property owners and the Chamber of Commerce on a user/developer recruitment
effort, and assume a more active role as developer of Agency owned property.
A more proactive economic development effort would involve marketing both private
and Agency properties to users and developers. Staff would initially meet with the
owners of the properties the City would like to see developed to solicit their
participation in an active property marketing effort. Property profiles would then be
prepared that summarize the characteristics of these properties. A listing of desired
commercial, hospitality, recreation and light industrial users would also be developed
Staff would then meet with these users and actively market sites in La Quinta. In
addition, staff would increase its efforts with the Chamber of Commerce to meet with
existing businesses and ascertain their expansion needs. These activities will require
additional resources to fund dedicated staff time, the preparation of marketing
materials, and incentives for users to locate in La Quinta. Staff estimates that the
current annual expenditures of $50,000 for staff and marketing material development
would need to be increased to $150,000 to $200,000 per year. Depending on the
level of activity the City Council desires, an additional staff position might be funded
to dedicate the time needed for a concentrated effort. Funding user incentives may
also be necessary. The City's economic development efforts to date have surfaced
the following response from the lodging, restaurant and retail users: market demand
is slowly growing in the Coachella Valley and as such, to entice them to locate in this
area, they are seeking cheap land and ready to build properties. Since a majority of
the City's commercial and hospitality properties require significant off-site
infrastructure improvements, the City may need to underwrite some or all of these
costs to facilitate development. This could require an annual budget of $1.0 million
to $2.0 million.
In order to facilitate an increased City role in economic development initiatives, staff
offers the following policy for City Council consideration:
Active Participation in Economic Develonment
The City will actively implement economic development initiatives by committing
resources to market development opportunities through direct contact with property
owners, commercial and industrial enterprises, resort and lodging operators, and
developers.
In addition to considering the overall policy regarding economic development
implementation activities, staff also requests that the Council review the policies set
forth in Section 3 of the Plan and provide input as to any needed modifications.
Modification of two of these policies may be appropriate. The first pertains to

estys Ima?recreation opportunities. Staff has drafted the following policy statement for Council
consideration:
Recreation Opportunities
The City wi/I explore the feasibility of developing a municipal golf course or other
recreational uses that are compatible with surrounding neighborhoods. Further,
efforts will be made to develop a comprehensive trail system that llnks the recreation
amenities at Lake Cahuilla and in the Santa Rosa Mountains with the City's residential
and resort communities.
The second policy deals with City/Agency return on investment. In the recent
discussions regarding financial assistance to a six-plex theater development, staff
found that given the projected revenues a theater complex would generate, the stated
minimum 12% to 15% cash-on-cash returns could not be realized. When evaluating
theater proposals it may be appropriate to place less emphasis on the financial return,
and more emphasis on the cultural returns the proposals may generate. In order to
facilitate economic development incentives for theater proposals, the following policy
statement may be considered:
Cuitural In vestment
The City desires to promote opportunities that expand the commurnty's cultural
resources; thus, the City will consider Cfty/Agency in vestment in theater, art or other
proposals that feature unique architecture, preserve existing cultural and
environmental resources, or promote cultural opportunities. These benefits will be
evaluated in conjunction with the City's projected return on investment and the
proposal's anticipated financial need.
Accomplishments During Fiscal Yeail????r
The Business Plan presented in the 1 997-98 Economic Development Plan identified
specific target areas and activities to accomplish during the fiscal year. The following
narrative summarizes the accomplishments, by target area, as of March 1 998.
Highway 11 Corridor
Highway 111 Design Theme. In November 1 997, the City of La Quinta approved the
Highway 111 design theme that presents design concepts and guidelines for both
roadway and private development improvements that front Highway 111. The
purpose is to establish a unique identity and sense of arrival for La Quinta. The
design concepts have subsequently been incorporated in The Home Depot and
Eagle Hardware developments, as well as in the streetscape improvements that
are currently being installed within the Highway 111 corridor. Further, conceptual

estys Ima? entry statement monuments have been identified for the intersection of
Washington Street and Highway 111.
Eagle Hardware. Staff worked in conjunction with the Apollo Group and Eagle
Hardware to both fast-track the development permitting process and assist in
designing on-site and off-site improvements that facilitated the development of a
212,000 square foot Eagle Hardware center. Eagle Hardware opened in February
1998.
The Apollo Group. The Apollo Group owns approximately 55 acres located at the
south side of Highway 111, generally east of Washington Street and Simon Drive.
With the opening of Eagle Hardware, staff is continuing to work with the Apollo
Group to identify additional power/value retailers that could locate on their
remaining holdings. In addition to retail uses, staff is in discussions with Apollo
regarding office, restaurant and hospitality uses that could also locate on the
Washington Street frontage.
Stamko Development. In July 1997, the City approved a development agreement
with Stamko Development to facilitate the construction of a five-dealer auto mall.
This project was the subject of subsequent litigation involving the City of lndio.
The construction time delay, as a result of the litigation, necessitated the redesign
of the auto center. Staff is currently concluding a revised development agreement
that will facilitate the development of a phased auto mall. Staff anticipates that
the development agreement will be brought forward for City Council consideration
in mid-year 1 998.
Mid-Priced Hotel/Motel. Agency staff was engaged in discussions with Swank
Development Corporation to facilitate the development of an extended-stay suites
hotel on Agency-owned property located at Miles Avenue and Washington Street.
In conjunction with this effort, staff also initiated negotiations with Desert Sands
Unified School District regarding their purchase of approximately 30 acres of this
property for a joint elementary/junior high school facility. Discussions concluded
with Swank Development after the developer stipulated that the Agency would
need to undertake and fund all site planning, environmental, and site improvement
activities prior to their consideration of a hotel/motel development. Further,
discussions with Desert Sands Unified School District has not determined District
interest in purchasing property at this location. Staff has also entered into
discussions with other hotel/motel developers regarding this site.

Planning Commission and City Council will review the Plan prior to June 1 998.
Live/Work Housing. In conjunction with the revised Village Development Plan, staff
has been engaging various live/work housing developers in preliminary discussions
regarding their interest in constructing said facilities in the Village. Recent
inquiries have generated an acute interest by Live/Work Services of Los Angeles,
California. Their interest is to explore the feasibility of developing artist loft and
other live/work housing opportunities in the Village. Further, some of these units
could be affordable to low and moderate income households, thus affording an
additional opportunity for the Redevelopment Agency to achieve its housing
production requirements.
KSL Recreation
Site Planning Activities. City staff has held monthly meetings with representatives
from KSL Recreation during which details of their development plans for
commercial, recreation, and lodging uses are reviewed. Current discussions center
on KSL Recreation's desire to work with the City and develop an infrastructure
financing plan to underwrite improvements of Jefferson Street, Avenue 50, and
other roadways that would accommodate resort and lodging uses on Amanson
Ranch, PGA West, and properties east of Madison Street.
Annexation Feasibility
Bermuda Dunes Annexation. Staff is in the final phase of completing a preliminary
annexation study to evaluate potential costs and revenues associated with
annexing properties within the unincorporated community of Bermuda Dunes.
Interstate 10, Jefferson Street the northern La Quinta city boundaries, and
Washington Street generally bound the study area. Staff will be presenting the
preliminary study to the City Council in mid-April, 1998 see Attachment 2).
Ridgeline Annexation. Staff completed and submitted, for City Council review, a
feasibility analysis of annexing properties west of the Cove to the ridgeline of the
adjacent mountains. Review of this information indicated that there are federal
and state regulations in place that limit the development of these areas. Staff is
drafting a hillside conservation ordinance, however, and will identify acreage the
City may want to consider for possible annexation that will be presented to the
Council prior to July 1998.
Housing
La Quinta Housing Program. During 1 997-98, the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency
funded 18-second trust deed mortgages that provided home purchase
opportunities for low and moderate-income households. Further, the Agency

Avenue 48/Jefferson Street Development. Staff is in the final stages of negotiating
a disposition and development agreement with Catellus Residential Group for the
construction of affordable single-family and multifamily senior rental housing at the
Agency's holdings located at Avenue 48 and Jefferson Street. An environmental
analysis is currently under way to evaluate potential archaeological resources, and
submittals for Planning Commission and City Council site plan and entitlement
review are pending.
Marketing
City Web Page. In December 1 996, the City unveiled its web page that both markets
the City's resort, recreation, housing, and commercial opportunities, as well as
provides access to building permit information over the worldwide web. Staff is
continuing to update the page to add additional information and features.
Targeted Marketing Effort. Staff has concluded marketing pieces that have been
featured in the following journals: Inland Empire Business Journal, FOCUS
Publications, the Business Press, and the Orange County Business Journal. In
addition, the City has been featured in commercials related to the 1 997 Senior
Skins Game, purchased the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic ad and participated in the
LQCC Business Expo, NAFTA show, and National Date Festival and County Fair.
1 998-99 Implementation Activities and Target Areas
For Fiscal Year 1 998-99, staff is proposing the following economic development
initiatives involving priority target areas. These initiatives are designed to either
complement existing activities or engage in new efforts that stimulate additional
economic development activity. Particular emphasis will be placed on working with
KSL Recreation; discussions with KSL representatives indicate that market conditions
are favorable for them to move forward with significant recreation, resort, and
residential development during the coming fiscal year.
Highway 111 Corridor
Activities to Accomplish in 1998-99:

estys Ima;?After the allocation of funds as proposed above, there remains an amount of
$383,000 to be further allocated to the CIP.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
A copy of the draft Capital Improvement Program is presented to the City Council for
review. The document is a statement of the City's goals, objectives and priorities for
a five 5) year Capital Improvement Program and the financial commitments required
to accomplish those objectives. The preparation of this document has been a joint
effort of the City Manager's Office, Public Works Department, Finance Department,
Building and Safety Department, Community Development Department, Community
Services Department, and the City's RedevelopmentlFinancial Consultant.
The purpose of the Capital Improvement Program CIP) is to provide the City of La
Quinta with a long-range program for major municipal capital construction projects
based on the systematic development of an advanced financial plan. The CIP is a five
5) year planning instrument used by the City to identify capital improvement needs
and to coordinate financing and timing of those needs in a manner that maximizes the
return to the public. As each annual budget is prepared, additional projects and
priority needs are developed and added to the program to maintain a total five-year
plan.
The first year of the CIP is called the capital budget and is based on the City's present
cash reserves. The capital budge? is incorporated into the annual City operating"
budget, which appropriates funds for specific facilities, equipment and improvements.
Projects slated for subsequent years in the program are approved on a planning basis
only and do not receive ultimate expenditure authority until they are ultimately
incorporated into the capital budget.
The 1997-98 CIP proposed $6,299,602 in capital improvement projects. All 1997-98
projects were either completed, are currently in the design or construction stage, or
contracts will be awarded by the end of the fiscal year, with the exception of the
following projects: Washington Street Improvements 4-acre detention basin south of
St. Francis of Assisi Church), Community Drop-off Facility, Civic Center Campus
Improvements Construction Phase), Fueling Station/Public Works Corporate Yard,
and City Wide Infrastructure Improvements.
The projects that have been identified in the 1997-98 CIP and have not been
completed are automatically rolled-over" to the Fiscal Year 1998-99 CIP. These
projects are not shown in the CIP because they have been recommended for funding
during the 1997/98 Fiscal Year.

estys Ima<?As part of the approval process for the 1997-98 CIP, the City Council directed City
staff to allocate $150,000 toward City Wide Infrastructure Improvements. This
project was established to set aside General Fund money each year in order to
allocate enough money to complete infrastructure improvement projects. The
citywide infrastructure improvement allocation in the amount of $150,000 has not
been added to the 1998-99 CIP, since Bond Sale proceeds are proposed to cover
Phase VA Village Commercial Area), Phase VB Cove Area), Phase VC Westward
Ho), Phase VD Sagebrush, Bottlebrush, and Saguaro), during the 1998-99 Fiscal
Year.
During the January 27, 1998 Special City Council Meeting, the City Council discussed
their goals for the future. During that discussion the City Council requested a number
of projects to be considered for the CIP. These projects include the following:
