CITY COUNCIL MEETING: March 15, 2022

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 599 ON SECOND READING APPROVING DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT 2021-0003 FOR POLO VILLAS RESIDENCES; CEQA: THE PROJECT IS CONSISTENT WITH PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS 2005-537 AND 2010-608; LOCATION: WEST OF MADISON STREET BETWEEN AVENUES 50 AND 52

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 599 on second reading.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 On March 1, 2022, Council introduced Ordinance No. 599 to approve Development Agreement 2021-0003 for Polo Villas Residences.  Tract 33085 was approved by Council on December 5, 2017, for seven (7) units, south of Beth Circle, and Tract 36279 was approved by Council on March 17, 2015, for 11 units, north of Beth Circle (Attachment 1).

Mitigated Negative Declarations (MND) were also adopted for each Tract.
 Tract 36279 was built in 2015/2016 and the 11 units each currently have active short-term vacation rental (STVR) permits since September 2016. Tract 33085 has not yet been built.

FISCAL IMPACT
The project is estimated to generate revenue primarily through property taxes, development impact fees (DIF), property taxes in-lieu of vehicle license fees, and transient occupancy tax (TOT). The following projections were provided by the applicant based on a Fiscal Impact Study:

Estimated Fiscal Impact at Build-out
Recurring Revenues
Property Tax $23,263
Property Tax in lieu of VLF $7,731
Transient Occupancy Tax $831,183
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 1
9 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
Off-site Sales Tax $43,849
Other revenues $36,140
Total Recurring Revenues $942,166
Recurring Expenditures
(i.e., Police, Fire, City staff)
$131,577
Net Fiscal Surplus $810,589
The additional costs incurred to the City as a result of the project are less than the additional revenues generated; therefore, resulting in a net positive fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Polo Villas residential development is comprised of 18 units within two (2) tract maps numbered 33085 and 36279 (Attachment 1). The tentative tract map for Tract 33085 was approved and an MND was adopted for seven (7) units on December 6, 2005. The final tract map was approved and recorded in December 2017. The tentative tract map for Tract 36279 was approved and an MND was adopted for 11 units on August 2, 2011. The final tract map was approved in March 2015 and recorded in April 2015. Of the 18 units, 11 have been built, and have had an active STVR permits since 2016.

In May 2021, Council adopted an ordinance that places a permanent ban on the issuance of new STVR permits, with the exception of units within the Village and Tourist Commercial zones, and developments subject to a development agreement (DA) that stipulate STVRs are allowed, among other specified exceptions. Those with current active STVR permits may continue to operate as STVRs, but a STVR permit is not transferable and expires when an owner sells their property to a new owner. In this case, the applicant (GTGF, LLC) has a purchase and sale agreement to buy the 18 properties from the current owner (Desert Polo Land Company, LLC) and wishes to enter into a DA with the City to allow STVRs to continue to operate. Government Code Section 65864 and the La Quinta Municipal Code (LQMC) Section 9.250.020 allow applicants to enter into DAs with the City.

Development Agreement Terms
The terms of the DA, included as Exhibit A to Ordinance No. 599, are summarized below:
 The project shall be constructed in accordance with project approvals and shall consist of a residential single-family development specifically developed and available for use as primary residences, secondary residences, and/or STVR residences, with the following components:
o Annual permitting fees to be consistent with the City’s fee program;
10 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
o Any rental or occupancy of 30 nights or less to be subject to the City’s then-current transient occupancy tax for STVRs;
o Rental or occupancy agreements, and material renter or occupant information, shall be retained for a minimum of three (3) years (or other retention period as may be approved by City policy or code) by the applicant or their authorized management company for the STVRs at the site;
o Occupancy in any residence, including residences used as STVRs, shall be capped at two (2) persons per bedroom, plus no more than four (4) additional occupants; and
o Each of the residences shall allow for transient occupancy, 30 days or less.
 A performance schedule for construction of the seven (7) units on the south side of the project.
 The term of the DA shall be for 50 years.
 The DA shall be reviewed on an annual basis.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Design and Development Department has determined that the proposed project is consistent with MND EA 2005-537 adopted by Council on December 6, 2005, by Resolution No. 2005-097 and MND EA 2010-608 adopted on August 2, 2011, by Resolution No. 2011-073, in that the properties are available and must be used for residential purposes as primary or secondary residences or STVRs.

ALTERNATIVES
As Council introduced this ordinance at first reading, staff does not recommend an alternate.

(a) Insubstantial Modifications. The Parties acknowledge that refinements and further development of the Project may demonstrate that minor changes are appropriate with respect to the details of the Project development and the performance of the parties under this Agreement. The Parties desire to retain a certain degree of flexibility with respect to the details of the Project development and with respect to those items covered in general terms under this Agreement, and thus desire to provide a streamlined method of approving insubstantial modifications to this Agreement. Therefore, any minor modification to this Agreement which does not modify (i) the Term of this Agreement; (ii) permitted uses of the Site, (iii) maximum density or intensity of use, except as specifically allowed in the Project Approvals, (iv) provisions for the reservation or dedication of land, (v) conditions, terms, restrictions or requirements for subsequent discretionary actions, or (vi) monetary obligations of Developer (hereinafter an “Insubstantial Modification”), and that can be processed under CEQA either as not a “project” under CEQA or as exempt from CEQA shall not require a public hearing prior to the parties executing a modification to this Agreement. Either Party may propose an Insubstantial Modification, consent to which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed by the other Party. Upon the written request of Developer for a modification to this Agreement, the City Manager or his/her designee shall determine, in his/her sole discretion: (1) whether, in his/her reasonable judgment, the requested modification constitutes an “Insubstantial Modification,” as defined herein; (2) whether the requested modification is consistent with Applicable Rules (other than that portion of this Agreement sought to be modified); and (3) whether, in his/her reasonable judgment, the requested modification tends to promote the goals of this Agreement. If the City Manager or his/her designee determines that the requested modification is an “Insubstantial Modification” that is consistent with Applicable Rules and tends to promote the goals of this Agreement, the proposed modification will be approved by the City as an Insubstantial Modification, and a written modification will be executed by the Parties and attached to this Agreement. Any such Insubstantial Modification shall not be deemed an “amendment” to this Agreement under Government Code Section 65858.
(b) Substantial Amendments. Except as otherwise described in Section 1.6(a) of this Agreement, amendments to this Agreement shall be “Substantial Amendments” which require notice and a public hearing pursuant to California Government Code Section 65868. (d) Parties Required to Amend. Where a portion of Developer’s rights or obligations have been transferred, assigned, and assumed pursuant to Section 1.8 of this Agreement, the signature of the person or entity to whom such rights or obligations have been assigned shall not be required to amend this Agreement unless such amendment would materially alter the rights or obligations of such assignee/transferee hereunder.

1.7 Termination; Applicable to All of the Property.

Unless terminated earlier, pursuant to the terms hereof, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further effect upon the expiration of the Term of this Agreement as set forth in Section 1.2. Termination of this Agreement, for any reason, shall not, by itself, affect any right or duty arising from entitlements or approvals set forth under the Project Approvals. Any termination of this Agreement shall affect each and every One of the Properties and the entire Property and the Site, and no owner of One of the Properties may apply for a termination or terminate this Agreement with respect to that owner’s One of the Properties unless all of the owners of the Property and each and every One of the Properties apply for and seek to terminate this Agreement for the entire Property and Site. In explanation of the foregoing, this Agreement shall apply to each One of the Properties for the entire duration of the Term, and no One of the Properties may be released from or excused for performance under this Agreement by way of terminating this Agreement for that One of the Properties, unless all of the Property and Site are released from this Agreement.

1.8 Assignment of Interests, Rights and Obligations.

Developer may transfer or assign all or any portion of its interests, rights or obligations under this Agreement to third parties acquiring an interest or estate in any One of the Properties, the Property and/or the Site, or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, purchasers or ground lessee(s) of lots, parcels or facilities, subject to the following:

1.8.1 Assignment and Assumption Agreements.
(a) In connection with the transfer or assignment by Developer of all or any portion of the Property and/or the Site (other than a transfer or assignment by Developer to a Mortgagee, defined below), Developer and the transferee shall enter into a written agreement (an “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”) regarding the respective interests, rights and obligations of Developer and the transferee in and under this Agreement. Such Assignment and Assumption Agreement may: (i) release Developer from obligations under this Agreement pertaining to that portion of the Property and/or Site being transferred, as described in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that the transferee expressly assumes such obligations; (ii) transfer to the transferee vested rights to develop and/or improve and use that portion of the Property and/or Site being transferred; and (iii) address any other matter deemed by Developer to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the transfer or assignment. (b) Developer shall obtain City’s prior written consent to any Assignment and Assumption Agreement (other than a transfer or assignment by Developer to an Affiliated Party or a Mortgagee), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Failure by City to respond within thirty (30) days to any request made by Developer for such consent shall be deemed to be City’s unconditional approval of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement in question. City may refuse to give its consent only if, in light of the proposed transferee’s reputation and financial resources, such transferee would not in City’s reasonable opinion be able to perform the obligations proposed to be assumed by such transferee.

Such determination shall be made by the City Manager in consultation with the City Attorney and is appealable by Developer directly to the City Council. 27 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

(c) An Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be binding on Developer, City and the transferee provided (i) Developer is not then in default under this Agreement, (ii) Developer has provided notice to City of such transfer, and City has approved the transfer, and (iii) the transferee executes and delivers to City a written agreement in which (a) the name and address of the transferee is set forth and (b) the transferee expressly and unconditionally assumes each and every obligation of Developer under this Agreement with respect to the Property and/or Site, or portion thereof, being transferred (to the extent Developer has not retained a continuing obligation), (c) Developer no longer has any legal or equitable interest in the Property and/or Site or the portion thereof sold or transferred, as applicable, and (d) City has, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, satisfied itself of transferee’s ability to assume those Developer obligations under this Agreement being assigned. Upon recordation of any Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the Official Records of Riverside County, Developer shall automatically be released from those obligations assumed by the transferee therein. (d) Developer shall be free from any and all liabilities accruing on or after the date of any assignment or transfer with respect to those obligations assumed by a transferee pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement. No breach or default hereunder by any person succeeding to any portion of Developer’s obligations under this Agreement shall be attributed to Developer, nor may Developer’s rights hereunder be canceled or diminished in any way by any breach or default by any such person following Developer’s release of obligations under the Project Approvals pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement assigning Developer’s obligations to that successor.
(e) The City may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement with the approval of the Developer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

1.8.2 Transfers for Mortgages.

Any transfers or assignments for any Mortgagee shall be subject to the provisions in Article 7 of this Agreement.

1.8.3 Transfers to Affiliated Parties.

Developer, or any Affiliated Party of Developer, may at any time and without City’s prior consent, transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliated Party of such Transferor and, in connection with the transfer of any such obligations, be released from such obligations. Developer shall deliver to City, no later than ten (10) days after such transfer an Assignment and Assumption Agreement memorializing the transfer of Developer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliated Party, along with that Affiliated Party’s contact information for notices to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement. 28 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

4.2 Project Approvals Independent.

All approvals required for the Project which may be or have been granted, and all land use entitlements or approvals generally which have been issued or will be issued by City with respect to the Project, constitute independent actions and approvals by City.

In such cases, such approvals and entitlements will remain in effect 34 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

Pursuant to the expressed exceptions referenced in the preceding sentence, and due to the unique location, character and history of the Property, the following provisions shall apply to the use and operation of the Property (and each One of the Properties) within the Project:

All short-term vacation rentals in the Project shall be subject to, and comply with, the City’s Transient Occupancy Ordinance as set forth in Chapter 3.24 of the La Quinta Municipal Code.

It is the intent of this provision to require, at all times, that all short-term vacation rentals in the Project comply with the City’s requirements and procedures for collecting, reporting and paying the applicable transient occupancy tax, including as those requirements and procedures may be modified during the term of this Agreement.

All CC&Rs recorded on any portion of the Project where residential uses are allowed shall expressly authorize short-term vacation rentals for all residential units, consistent with this Agreement and the requirements set forth in Chapter 3.25 of the La Quinta Municipal Code (or successor provisions) that are not in conflict with this Agreement.

6. DEFAULT; REMEDIES; DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

6.1 Notice of Default.

In the event of failure by either Party substantially to perform any material term or provision of this Agreement, the non-defaulting Party shall have those rights and remedies provided herein, provided that such non-defaulting Party has first provided to the defaulting Party a written notice of default in the manner required by Section 8.1 hereof identifying with specificity the nature of the alleged default and the manner in which said default may satisfactorily be cured.

6.2 Cure of Default.

Upon the receipt of the notice of default, the alleged defaulting Party shall promptly commence to cure, correct, or remedy the identified default at the earliest reasonable time after receipt of the notice of default and shall complete the cure, correction or remedy of such default not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice of default, or, for such defaults that cannot reasonably be cured, corrected or remedied within thirty (30) days, such Party shall commence to cure, correct, or remedy such default within such thirty (30) day period, and shall continuously and diligently prosecute such cure, correction or remedy to completion.

6.3 City Remedies.

In the event of an uncured default by Developer of the terms of this Agreement, City, at its option, may institute legal action in law or in equity to cure, correct, or remedy such default, enjoin any threatened or attempted violation, or enforce the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall City be entitled to consequential, punitive or exemplary damages for any Developer default. For purposes of this Agreement the term “consequential damages” shall include, but not be limited to, potential loss of anticipated tax revenues from the Project or any portion thereof. Furthermore, City, in addition to or as an alternative to exercising the remedies set forth in this Section 6.3, in the event of a material uncured default by Developer, may give notice of its intent to terminate or modify this Agreement pursuant to City’s Development Agreement Ordinance and/or the Development Agreement Act, in which event the matter shall be scheduled for consideration and review by the City Council in the manner set forth in the City’s Development Agreement Ordinance or the Development Agreement Act.

6.4 Developer’s Excusive Remedies.

The Parties acknowledge that the City would not have entered into this Agreement if it were to be liable in damages under, or with respect to, this Agreement or any of the matters referred to herein including, but not limited to, the Project Approvals, the Applicable Rules or any future amendments or enactments thereto, or the Project. Accordingly, Developer covenants on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, not to sue the City for damages or monetary relief (except for attorneys’ fees as provided for by Section 8.22) for any breach of this Agreement by City or arising out of or connected with any dispute, controversy, or issue between Developer and City regarding this Agreement or any of the matters referred to herein including but not limited to the application, interpretation, or effect of this Agreement, the Project Approvals, the Applicable Rules or any future amendments or enactments thereto, or the Project, or any land use permits or approvals sought in connection with the development of the Project or any component thereof, or 38 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

7. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION; CERTAIN RIGHTS OF CURE

7.1 Encumbrances on the Project Site.

This Agreement shall not prevent or limit Developer from encumbering the Site or any portion thereof or any improvements thereon with any mortgage, deed of trust, sale and leaseback arrangement, or any other form of conveyance in which the Site, or a portion thereof or interest therein, is pledged as security, and contracted for in good faith and fair value (a “Mortgage”) securing financing with respect to the construction, development, use or operation of the Project.

7.2 Mortgage Protection.

This Agreement shall be superior and senior to the lien of any Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no breach of this Agreement shall defeat, render invalid, diminish, or impair the lien of any Mortgage made in good faith and for value, and any acquisition or acceptance of title or any right or interest in or with respect to the Site or any portion thereof by a holder of a beneficial interest under a Mortgage, or any successor or assignee to said holder (a “Mortgagee”) [whether pursuant to foreclosure, trustee’s sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure, lease termination or otherwise] shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

7.3 Mortgagee Not Obligated.

No Mortgagee will have any obligation or duty under this Agreement to perform the obligations of the Developer or other affirmative covenants of Developer hereunder, or to guarantee such performance, except that (i) the Mortgagee shall have no right to develop or operate the Site without the written consent of the City, and (ii) to the extent that any covenant to be performed by the Developer is a condition to the performance of a covenant by the City, the performance thereof by Mortgagee shall continue to be a condition precedent to the City’s performance hereunder.

7.4 Notice of Default to Mortgagee; Right of Mortgagee to Cure.

With respect to any mortgage or deed of trust granted by Developer, whenever City may deliver any notice or demand to Developer with respect to any breach or default by Developer in completion of construction of the Project or any component of the Project, City shall at the same time deliver a copy of such notice or demand to each holder of record of any mortgage or deed of trust which has previously requested such notice in writing. Each such holder shall (insofar as the rights granted by City are concerned) have the right, at its option, within sixty (60) days after the receipt of the notice, to cure or remedy or commence to cure or remedy and thereafter to pursue with due diligence the cure or remedy of any such default and to add the cost thereof to the mortgage debt and the lien of its mortgage. It is understood that a holder shall be deemed to have satisfied the sixty (60) daytime limit set forth above for commencing to cure or remedy a Developer default which requires title and/or possession of the Site (or portion thereof) if and to the extent any such holder has within such sixty (60) day period commenced proceedings to obtain title 39 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
2905/015610-0183

3.25.010 Title.

This chapter shall be referred to as the "Short-Term Vacation Rental Regulations." (Ord. 590 § 1(Exh. A), 3-16-2021; Ord. 586 § 1(Exh. A), 12-15-2020; Ord. 572 § 1, 2018; Ord. 563 § 1, 2017; Ord. 501 § 2, 2012)

3.25.020 Purpose.

A. The purpose of this chapter is to establish regulations for the use of privately owned residential dwellings as short-term vacation rentals that ensure the collection and payment of transient occupancy taxes (TOT) as provided in Chapter 3.24 of this code, and minimize the negative secondary effects of such use on surrounding residential neighborhoods.

B. This chapter is not intended to provide any owner of residential property with the right or privilege to violate any private conditions, covenants and restrictions applicable to the owner's property that may prohibit the use of such owner's residential property for short-term vacation rental purposes as defined in this chapter.

C. The requirements of this chapter shall be presumed to apply to any residential dwelling that has received a short-term vacation rental permit. A rebuttable presumption arises that, whenever there is an occupant(s), paying rent or not, of a residential dwelling that has received a short-term vacation rental permit, the requirements of this chapter shall apply, including but not limited to any suspension or other modifications imposed on a short-term vacation rental permit as set forth in this chapter. The city manager or authorized designee shall have the authority to implement any necessary or appropriate policies and procedures to implement the rebuttable presumption set forth in this section.

3.25.050 Short-term vacation rental permit—Required.

A. The owner is required to obtain a short-term vacation rental permit and a business license from the city before the owner or the owner's authorized agent or representative may rent or advertise a short-term vacation rental unit. No short-term vacation rental use may occur in the city except in compliance with this chapter. No property in the city may be issued a short-term vacation rental permit or used as a short-term vacation rental unit unless the property is a residential dwelling that complies with the requirements of this chapter.

B. A short-term vacation rental permit and business license shall be valid for one (1) year and renewed on an annual basis in order to remain valid.

1. A short-term vacation rental permit and business license renewal application shall be submitted no earlier than sixty (60) calendar days but no later than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the permit's expiration date. Failure to renew a short-term vacation rental permit as prescribed in this section may result in the short-term vacation rental permit being terminated.

2. A new owner of a property (or a new person and/or new entity that owns or controls a business or organization or other entity of any kind, such as a limited liability company, which is the owner of a property) previously operated as a short-term vacation rental unit by the former owner (or by a former person or entity that owned or controlled the business or organization or other entity of any kind that continues to be the owner of the property) may not renew the previous owner's short-term vacation rental permit and shall apply for a new short-term vacation rental permit, pursuant to this chapter, if the new owner (or new person and/or new entity that owns or controls a business or organization or other entity of any kind that continues to be the owner of a property) wants to continue to use the residential dwelling as a short-term vacation rental unit.

3. If an owner or an owner's authorized agent or representative, pursuant to all applicable laws, constructs additional bedrooms to an existing residential dwelling or converts non-bedroom spaces and areas in an existing residential dwelling into additional bedrooms, the owner or owner's authorized agent or representative shall notify the city and update the short-term vacation rental unit's online registration profile upon city approval of the addition or conversion so that the city may confirm that such conversion is consistent with this chapter and the code, including all applicable provisions in Title 8 of the code, and reissue the short-term vacation rental permit so that it accurately identifies the number of approved bedrooms, if the owner wants to continue to use the dwelling as a short-term vacation rental unit. The city may conduct an onsite inspection of the property to verify compliance with this chapter and the code.

Code compliance inspections may be billed for full cost recovery at one (1) hour for initial inspection and in thirty (30)-minute increments for each follow-up inspection pursuant to subsection D. For purposes of 58 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
Created: 2021-12-15 15:04:50 [EST]
(Supp. No. 2, Update 2)

this chapter, "reissue" or "reissuance" of a short-term vacation rental permit means a permit that is reissued by the city, with corrected information, as applicable, to be valid for the balance of the existing one (1)-year permit and license period.

C. A short-term vacation rental permit and business license shall be valid only for the number of bedrooms in a residential dwelling equal to the number of bedrooms the city establishes as eligible for listing as a shortterm vacation rental unit and shall not exceed the number of bedrooms allowable for the number of occupants as set forth in Section 3.25.070. The allowable number of bedrooms shall meet all applicable requirements under federal, state and city codes, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Section

9.50.100 (or successor provision, as may be amended from time to time) governing "additional bedrooms" and all applicable building and construction codes in Title 8 of this code. A short-term vacation rental permit shall not issue for, or otherwise authorize the use of, additional bedrooms converted from non-bedroom spaces or areas in an existing residential dwelling except upon express city approval for the additional bedrooms in compliance with this code, including Section 9.50.100 (or successor provision, as may be amended from time to time), and upon approval of an application for a new or renewed short-term vacation rental permit as provided in subsection B.

D. A short-term vacation rental permit and business license shall not be issued, and may be suspended or permanently revoked, if the property, or any building, structure, or use or land use on the property is in violation of this code. The city may conduct an inspection of the property prior to the issuance or renewal of a short-term vacation rental permit and/or business license. Code compliance inspections may be billed for full cost recovery at one (1) hour for initial inspection and in thirty (30)-minute increments for each follow-up inspection. For purposes of this subsection, a code violation exists if, at the time of the submittal of an application for a new or renewed short-term vacation rental permit or business license, the city has commenced administrative proceedings by issuing written communication and/or official notice to the owner or owner's responsible agent or representative of one (1) or more code violations. For purposes of this chapter, "building," "structure," and "use or land use" have the same meanings as set forth in Section

9.280.030 (or successor provisions, as may be amended from time to time) of this code.

E. A short-term vacation rental permit and business license shall not be issued or renewed, and may be suspended or permanently revoked, if any portion of transient occupancy tax has not been reported and/or remitted to the city for the previous calendar year by the applicable deadline for the reporting and/or remittance of the transient occupancy tax.

F. A short-term vacation rental permit and business license shall not be issued or renewed, and may be suspended or permanently revoked, if the residential dwelling to be used as a short-term rental unit lacks adequate onsite parking. For purposes of this subsection, "adequate onsite parking" shall be determined by dividing the total number of occupants commensurate with the approved number of bedrooms as provided in the table under Section 3.25.070 by four (4), such that the ratio of the total number of occupants to onsite parking spots does not exceed four to one (4:1). For example, a residential dwelling with five (5) bedrooms may permissibly host a total number of ten occupants and therefore requires three (3) on-site parking spots.

Onsite parking shall be on an approved driveway, garage, and/or carport areas only in accordance with Section 3.25.070(R), and no more than two (2) street parking spots may count towards the number of on-site parking spots necessary to meet the "adequate onsite parking" requirement under this subsection.

G. An owner or owner's authorized agent or representative who claims not to be operating a short-term vacation rental unit or who has obtained a valid short-term vacation rental permit and business license pursuant to this chapter, may voluntarily opt-out of the requirements of this chapter, prior to the issuance or expiration of a short-term vacation rental permit and business license that are applicable to the short-term vacation rental unit, only upon the owner, the owner's authorized agent or representative and/or the owner's designated local contact person executing, under penalty of perjury, a declaration of non-use as a short-term vacation rental unit, in a form prescribed by the city (for purposes of this chapter, a "declaration of non-use"). Upon the receipt and filing by the city of a fully executed declaration of non-use, the owner or 59 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
Created: 2021-12-15 15:04:50 [EST]
(Supp. No. 2, Update 2)

owner's authorized agent representative shall be released from complying with this chapter as long as the property is not used as a short-term vacation rental unit. Use of the property as a short-term vacation unit after the city's receipt and filing of a declaration of non-use, is a violation of this chapter. If, after a declaration of non-use has been received and filed by the city, the owner or owner's authorized agent or representative wants to use that property as a short-term vacation rental unit, the owner shall apply for a new short-term vacation rental permit and business license and fully comply with the requirements of this chapter and the code; provided, however, that if a short-term vacation rental permit is or will be suspended on the date an owner or owner's authorized agent or representative submits to the city a declaration of nonuse for the short-term vacation rental unit under suspension, then the owner may apply for a new shortterm vacation rental permit and business license only after twelve (12) consecutive months have elapsed from the date of the declaration of non-use, and the owner and owner's authorized agent or representative otherwise shall fully comply with the requirements of this chapter and the code. (Ord. 595 § 1(Exh. A), 6-15-2021; Ord. 590 § 1(Exh. A), 3-16-2021; Ord. 586 § 1(Exh. A), 12-15-2020; Ord. 577 § 1, 2019; Ord. 572 § 1, 2018; Ord. 563 § 1, 2017; Ord. 501 § 2, 2012)

3.25.055 Non-issuance of new short-term vacation rental permits; periodic council review.

A. Commencing May 20, 2021, which is the effective date of the ordinance adding this section, there shall be no processing of, or issuance for, any applications for a new short-term vacation rental permit, required by this chapter to use or operate a short-term vacation rental unit in the city, except applications for a new a shortterm vacation rental permit covering a short-term vacation rental unit that meets one (1) or more of the following:

A residential dwelling within a residential project subject to a development agreement with the city, or subject to a condition of approval(s) attached to any entitlement approved by the city (including but not limited to a specific plan, subdivision map, or site development permit), pursuant to which short-term vacation rentals are a permitted use, and the residential dwelling's use as a short-term vacation rental is authorized under a declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs), for the residential project.

4. A residential dwelling within the area covered by the SilverRock Resort Specific Plan.

5. A residential dwelling is located adjacent to the CT Tourist Commercial District zone, as defined in Section

For purposes of this subsection, "adjacent to" means across the street from or accessible by a driveway or service road designed to provide access to area(s) within the CT Tourist Commercial District zone.

B. The city manager or authorized designee shall have the authority to implement policies or procedures to review and verify whether an application for a new short-term vacation rental permit meets the criteria set forth in this section.

(Supp. No. 2, Update 2)

C. This section shall not apply to applications for a renewal of an existing short-term vacation rental permit and business license, submitted in compliance with this chapter, including when the short-term vacation rental permit is under suspension during the time for processing the renewal application. Applications for renewals must be submitted as prescribed by this chapter. Any short-term vacation rental unit, covered by a permit that is subject to an application for renewal, which is under temporary suspension in violation of this chapter or any other provisions of this code, shall not become permitted to use the dwelling as a short-term vacation rental unit until all violations that led to the temporary suspension have been remedied and the suspension has expired. Any revoked short-term vacation rental permit shall not be eligible for renewal or new shortterm vacation rental permit.

D. The city council shall periodically review the impacts or effects, if any, caused by the non-issuance of new short-term vacation rental permits set forth in this section. The city manager or authorized designee shall prepare a report assessing impacts or effects, if any, for the council to review at a regular or special meeting. (Ord. 596 § 2, 2021; Ord. 595 § 1(Exh.

B. The short-term vacation rental permit application shall be accompanied by an application fee as set by resolution of the city council.

C. The city may determine the maximum number of bedrooms in a residential dwelling with multiple bedrooms eligible for use as a short-term vacation rental unit upon issuance of a short-term vacation rental permit.

When determining the maximum number of bedrooms eligible for use as short-term vacation rentals, the city shall consider the public health, safety, and welfare, shall comply with building and residential codes, and may rely on public records relating to planned and approved living space within the residential dwellings, including, but not limited to, title insurance reports, official county records, and tax assessor records. Owners of residential dwellings that exceed five thousand (5,000) square feet of developed space on a lot may apply for additional bedrooms. An owner and/or owner's authorized agent or representative may not advertise availability for occupancy of a short-term vacation rental unit for more than the approved number of bedrooms listed in the short-term vacation rental permit issued by the city pursuant to this chapter. In addition to any other rights and remedies available to the city under this chapter, the first violation for failing to advertise the approved number of bedrooms may be subject to a fine by an administrative citation, and a second or subsequent violation for failing to advertise the approved number of bedrooms may result in a revocation (which may include permanent revocation) of the short-term vacation rental permit and/or any affiliated licenses or permits pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section 3.25.100.

D. Short-term vacation rental permit applications shall comply with the following:

1. A short-term vacation rental permit application for the estate home shall be subject to evaluation and inspection of the property to ensure that the short-term vacation rental unit will not create conditions materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare or injurious to or incompatible with other properties in the vicinity. Evaluation and inspection shall include, but not be limited to: verification of the number of bedrooms, adequate on-site parking spaces, availability of nearby street parking, physical distance of the estate home from adjacent properties, such as location and distance of outdoor gathering spaces, pools, and other living spaces from neighboring properties. The city manager, or designee, shall have the authority to impose additional conditions on the use of the estate home as a short-term vacation rental unit to ensure that any potential secondary effects unique to the subject shortterm vacation rental unit are avoided or adequately mitigated.

2. A short-term vacation rental permit application may be denied if the applicant has failed to comply with application requirements in this chapter, or has had a prior short-term vacation rental permit for the same unit revoked within the past twelve (12) calendar months. In addition, upon adoption of a resolution pursuant to subsection H, the city may limit the number of short-term vacation rental units in a given geographic area based on a high concentration of short-term vacation rental units. The city shall maintain a waiting list of short-term vacation rental permit applications for such geographic areas where the city determines, based on substantial evidence after a noticed public hearing and public hearing, there is a higher than average concentration of short-term vacation rental units that either affects the public health, safety, and welfare or significantly negatively impacts the character and standard of living in a neighborhood within that geographic area, or both.

E. Short-term vacation rental permit applications may take up to, and the city shall have, thirty (30) calendar days to process. An application for a renewal of a short-term vacation rental permit and business license should be submitted at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the existing permit's expiration to allow sufficient time for the city to process the renewal application. Nothing in this subsection or chapter shall be construed as requiring the city to issue or deny a short-term vacation rental permit in less than thirty (30) calendar days, as no permit shall be issued until such time as application review is complete. No short-term vacation rental use may occur in the city without a valid short-term vacation rental permit is issued in accordance with this chapter.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 Pursuant to Assembly Bill 361 (Stats. 2021, Ch. 165) (AB 361), which waived certain provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act) and authorized local agencies to hold public meetings via teleconferencing whenever a state of emergency exists that makes it unsafe to meet in person, Council must reconsider the circumstances of the state of emergency every 30 days and affirm the required findings in order to continue to allow teleconference accessibility for public meetings.  On September 28, 2021, Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-035 (Attachment 1) making the required findings under AB 361 and authorizing the City Manager to implement teleconference accessibility to conduct public meetings.

FISCAL IMPACT – None.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
AB 361 was signed into law by the Governor on September 16, 2021, which went into effect immediately as urgency legislation (codified under Government Code § 54953) and waived certain provisions of the Brown Act in order to allow local agencies to continue to meet remotely. Specifically, the CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 3

bill allows remote teleconference flexibility, but only when there is a state of emergency that makes it unsafe to meet in person.

In addition, AB 361 added specific procedures and clarified the requirements for conducting remote meetings, including the opportunity for the public to provide public comment in real time; the legislative body shall take no actions during disruptions; and the legislative body, by majority vote, shall determine that meeting in person would present imminent risk to the health or safety of attendees and shall affirm these findings every 30 days, in order to continue to allow teleconference accessibility for conducting public meetings [Government Code § 54953(e)(3)]. AB 361 will sunset on January 1, 2024.

The City has implemented procedures for conducting public meetings to ensure full compliance with AB 361. In addition to the ability to attend public meetings in-person, teleconference accessibility via call-in option or an internet-based service option (via the Zoom Webinars platform) is listed on the published agenda for each meeting as well as on the City’s website. The City monitors attendance via teleconference as well as email correspondence (as published on the agenda) throughout each public meeting and provides access for public comment opportunities in real time both verbally and in writing.

On September 28, 2021, Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-035 making the initially required findings under AB 361 in order to allow the City to continue to offer teleconference accessibility for public meetings after September 30, 2021, to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

As noted above, Council must reconsider the state of emergency due to COVID-19 every 30 days and affirm the findings under Resolution No. 2021- 035 in order to continue to allow teleconference accessibility for conducting public meetings.

The revenue report includes revenues and transfers into funds from other funds (income items). Revenues are not received uniformly throughout the year, resulting in peaks and valleys. For example, large property tax payments are usually received in December and May. Similarly, Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund payments are typically received in January and June. Any timing imbalance of revenue receipts versus expenditures is funded from the City’s cash flow reserve.

The expenditure report includes expenditures and transfers out to other funds.

Unlike revenues, expenditures are more likely to be consistent from month to month. However, large debt service payments or CIP expenditures can cause swings.

lands within the City’s boundaries and its sphere of influence (Attachment 1).

Staff prepared the General Plan APR to inform the PC and Council on the status of the General Plan implementation. Staff has presented General Plan progress reports to PC every year since 2017.

The General Plan APR was prepared according to the guidelines established by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and provides General Plan implementation status since adopted on February 19, 2013. The General Plan APR reviews all goals, policies and programs for the mandated elements:

Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Conservation, Open Space, Safety, and Noise.

Additionally, the General Plan APR reviews all optional elements such as the Livable Community, Economic Development, Parks, Recreation, and Trails, Air Quality, Biological Resources and Cultural Resources elements. All goals/policies are listed with their current status. Updates to implementation efforts are highlighted in yellow in the General Plan APR (Attachment 2).

General Plan implementation occurs regularly by all City Departments through the development and implementation of City programs, and PC and Council review of development projects for consistency with the General Plan.

Implementation of General Plan goals, policies and programs may require new initiatives that extend beyond the development review process.

Implementation efforts in 2021 included:

Program H-2.3.bAffordable Housing Renterto-Owner Transition Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) provides federal tax credits for private developers and investors that agree to set aside all or a portion of their units for low income households. LIHTC projects can transition from rental to ownership units. The units must remain rentals for 15 years, at which time some projects convert to ownership units. Typically a portion or all of the rent paid for the 5 years prior to the conversion is put toward the purchase of the unit. This enables lower income households to invest in the property in which they have been living and benefit from its appreciation.

Existing stalled condominium and townhome projects are prime opportunities for low income tax credits to be used for renter-to-owner programs.

Investigation into the use of LIHTCs to finance affordable single-family attached rental development was not completed.

The compact, mixed-use character of the Village area may also foster opportunities for parking reductions or joint-use opportunities. Lower and moderate income households may own fewer vehicles than above moderate income households, and be more inclined to walk or use public transportation. Incentives such as reduced parking requirements could be offered for affordable housing developments.

The City updated Incentive Based Parking Adjustments (Zoning Code Section

9.150.050) in 2017 which allows a reduction in parking spaces of up to fifteen percent, subject to approval by the Planning Commission. Section 9.150.050.B addresses opportunities for parking reductions in the Village Build-Out Plan Area, including potential reductions of fifty percent and other variations subject to approval by the director. The program is complete.

Program H-3.3-cEncourage Lot
Consolidation
Several small lots in the Village Commercial would have improved development potential through lot consolidation. The City will study, identify, and adopt regulatory incentives to encourage and facilitate lot consolidation. Potential incentives include fee deferral or reductions, City-‐
assisted parcel assemblage and mergers, parking requirement reduction, and relief from various other development standards that could potentially increase the cost of the project.

The City completed the La Quinta Village Build-Out Plan and EIR in 2017. Ordinance No. 553 amended several chapters of the Municipal Code related to development standards for the Plan area; development standards are provided in Section 9.70.110.

Projects in the Plan area are encouraged to implement the standards and incentives of Section 9.140.090, the mixed use overlay, which encourages development on lot assemblages or lots greater than one acre. Per Section 9.140.090.F, mixed use development can benefit from density bonuses, modified parking requirements, expedited permit processing, and fee reductions. Parking requirement reductions and variations in the Village Build-Out Plan area are addressed in Section 9.150.050.B.

The regulatory portion of this program is complete.

There was no activity during the 2014-2021 planning period. City staff will conduct a housing condition survey in the 2022-2023 Fiscal Year.

Program H-4.4.b-County of
Riverside Senior
Residential Rehabilitation
The Minor Senior Home Repair program allocates grants up to $250 per year for lower income seniors for minor housing repairs, such as painting doors or trim, or repairing a window. The Enhanced Senior Home Repair Program provides major rehabilitation and repair for low income seniors, providing a one-‐
time grant for repairs to homes owned and occupied by seniors and/or persons with disabilities. The maximum level of assistance for this program is $3,000 per year
The City does not operate its own senior home repair program; however, the City Manager’s office coordinates with lower income households and refers them to the Riverside County Economic Development Agency, as appropriate.

Program H-4.4.c-County of
Riverside Home Repair
Grant
The County of Riverside Economic Development Agency Home Repair Program provides lower income households with up to $6,000 for home repairs such as a new roof, new air-‐ conditioner, or a handicap ramp. As a jurisdiction in Riverside County, lower income La Quinta households are eligible for this grant
To the extent that these County programs have been funded, the City has referred homeowners to the appropriate County staff.

Program H-4.4.dRehabilitation Resources
List
Lower and moderate income homeowners may need assistance in affording important home repairs and improvements. The City can assist these households by compiling and sharing a listing of local, state, and federal programs offering rehabilitation assistance.

Program H-5.5.bTransitional Housing and
Permanent Supportive
Housing
Transitional housing typically accommodates homeless people for up to two years as they stabilize their lives and does not meet emergency needs. Transitional housing includes training and services that are vital for rehabilitating and enriching the lives of the formerly homeless.

Transitional housing facilities provide families and individuals with a safe place within which to rebuild their lives and prepare for independence. Permanent supportive housing is affordable housing with on- or off-site services that help a person maintain a stable, housed, life.

Several zoning ordinance amendments were completed in the 2014-2021 planning period. The amendments define homeless shelters and transitional shelters; allow transitional and supportive housing with a conditional use permit in the Medium Density, Medium-High Density, and High Density Residential zones; and allow transitional shelters with a conditional use permit within Regional Commercial and Major Community Facilities zones. Emergency shelters are allowed in all commercial zones. This program was completed.

Program H-5.5.c-Fair
Housing Referrals
Fair housing organizations provide dispute resolution and legal assistance to tenants and landlords in conflict. Such services are particularly important for lower and moderate income households unable to afford counsel.

City staff referred residents to the County Fair Housing Council as needed. The City website provides information on the Fair Housing Council of Riverside County (FHCRC) and how to contact the FHCRC.

Program H-5.5.d-Directory
of Services
While numerous services are available to special needs and lower income households, it can be difficult to readily have access to these resources. A directory provides the contact information necessary to seek housing assistance.

The City website includes directories of affordable rental and ownership housing developments, as well as information about senior home purchase loan programs, personal finance resources, and other housing resources. City housing staff will continue to add additional information as needed.

Program H-6.5.c-Imperial
Irrigation District Programs
The Imperial Irrigation District (IID) is proactive in energy savings via conservation programs, product rebates, and general tips. An average home owner can save up to 10 percent on energy/energy bills by taking advantage of IID programs. Home owners can utilize the free “Check Me!” program, which checks the refrigerant charge and airflow of their air conditioning/heating units. IID also offers a rebate on the purchase of higher efficiency air conditioning units, high efficiency refrigerators, programmable thermostats, and ENERGY STAR equipment. City staff has held several meetings with IID representatives to discuss opportunities for collaboration to conserve energy in La Quinta, including water management opportunities for golf courses and golf-oriented communities.

The City’s Going Green website provides information on IID programs and rebates through links to their websites, including the Residential ENERGY STAR product rebate program. IID continues to offer free, in-home residential and commercial energy audits and follow-up lists of recommendations intended to reduce electricity consumption and costs. The City promotes these programs through meetings with Homeowners’ Association boards and various City sponsored events to encourage La Quinta residents and businesses to sign up for energy audits and reduction programs.

However, IID’s future is currently unknown; in addition to continuing to recommend IID as a conservation resource, the City will need to explore additional opportunities for residents to acquire energy savings via conservation programs, products, rebates, and general tips.

Program H-6.5.dWeatherization Assistance
The Federal Department of Energy’s Weatherization Assistance Program, in conjunction with state and local programs, provide low or no cost weatherization and insulation services to reduce the heating and cooling costs for low income households.

The City website and distribution materials/flyers describe and provide contact information for Imperial Irrigation District’s free energy audits for homes, home energy efficiency surveys, financing programs and tax credits, and rebates and incentive programs. The City also promotes SoCalGas’ free energy and water conservation kit for residential customers and no-cost, energy-saving home improvements for income-qualified homeowners and renters.

*Note:
 Approximately $4,400,000 is expected to be available for the construction of Landscape Renovation Turf Conversion projects (Del Rey, Marbella and Cactus Flower).

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The 2021/22 CIP prioritizes renovating the parkways in north La Quinta over the next year. These improvements will entail converting turf to the Desert Oasis landscape palette, which uses hardscape textures with minimal planting to create an aesthetically pleasing environment with lower installation, longterm maintenance, and water costs. Wall cleaning/painting complete the renovation effort.

The parkway renovation effort is divided into seven phases. The sixth phase was divided into three sub phases: 1. Topaz 2. Desert Pride and 3. Sierra Del Rey/Marbella. The seventh phase, located at the Cactus Flower Development, is beginning design.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: March 15, 2022

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION TO REAFFIRM ADOPTION OF ANNUAL ASSESSMENT FOR COUNTY SERVICE AREA 152, AUTHORIZE RIVERSIDE

COUNTY TO CONTINUE TO LEVY ASSESSMENTS, AND INDEMNIFY AND HOLD

THE COUNTY HARMLESS FOR LEVYING ASSESSMENTS ON CITY PARCELS

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution to reaffirm adoption of the annual assessment for County Service Area 152 for Fiscal Year 2022/23, authorize Riverside County to continue to levy assessments, and indemnify and hold the County harmless for levying assessments on City parcels.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• The City has an agreement with Riverside County (County) wherein the County assesses properties within the City for the maintenance and operations of street sweeping, flood control, retention basin, and other drainage facilities within the City to improve overall storm water quality. • These activities are required under the Clean Water Act and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Program.
• The Council must annually adopt a resolution authorizing the County to assess City parcels and hold the County harmless for levying the assessments.
• The per parcel assessment rate will remain unchanged from its original 1997 rate of $9.99 per Benefit Assessment Unit for the Fiscal Year 2022/23.

FISCAL IMPACT
County Service Area (“CSA”) 152 assessments generate approximately $300,000 per year. These funds are held by the County and are designated for expenditures related to storm water pollution mitigation under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The City may request reimbursement for qualifying expenditures, such as retention basin maintenance, and the revenue is recognized in General Fund (Account No. 101- 0000-43633, CSA 152 Assessments).

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In 1991, the County enacted CSA 152 to provide funding for local jurisdictions to maintain flood control and storm drain facilities. In 1994, the City joined CSA 152, and in 1997 the Council approved the Benefit Assessment Unit rate of $9.99. The City/County Agreement is available for review in the Public Works Department.

Staff recommends the City’s continued participation in CSA 152 and to authorize the County to levy and collect these assessments for Fiscal Year 2022/23.

ALTERNATIVES
Staff does not recommend an alternative.
