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.

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).

Section 3. The City Council finds and declares that pursuant to Article XIIID, Section 5(a), the City’s CSA 152 assessments are exempt from the new procedures and approval requirements of Article XIIID, Section 4, because the City’s CSA 152 assessments existed before November 6, 1996, and the assessments are imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs and maintenance and operation expenses for street sweeping, flood control, and drainage systems in the City.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: REVIEW GENERAL PLAN AND HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORTS FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2022 AND AUTHORIZE SUBMITTAL

TO THE STATE OFFICE OF PLANNING AND RESEARCH AND DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT; CEQA: MAKE A DETERMINATION THAT THIS ACTION IS NOT A PROJECT AS DEFINED IN SECTION 15378(b)(2) OF

THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize submittal of the General Plan and the Housing Element Annual Progress Reports to the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD); and determine the action is not a project as defined in Section 15378(b)(2) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 State Law requires incorporated communities to adopt a General Plan that regulates the land development within the City’s boundaries and sphere of influence.  The 2035 La Quinta General Plan (General Plan) was adopted by City Council on February 19, 2013.
 A General Plan Annual Progress Report (General Plan APR) and Housing Element Annual Progress Report (Housing APR) have been prepared in compliance with State regulations.
 Planning Commission reviewed the General Plan APR and Housing APR at their meeting on February 28, 2023 and recommended that City Council (Council) authorize submittal to OPR and HCD.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
General Plan APR
California Government Code Section 65300 requires the City to prepare and adopt a comprehensive, long-term General Plan. The General Plan addresses lands within the City’s boundaries and its sphere of influence (Attachment 1). Staff has presented General Plan progress reports to Planning Commission and Council every year since 2017.

The General Plan APR was prepared according to the guidelines established by 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.

CONSIDERED AS BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 4
25 Click Here to Return to Agenda
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 Planning Commission and Council review of development projects for consistency with the General Plan.

Housing APR
Preparing and submitting the Housing APR to HCD and OPR is required by all cities pursuant to SB 35 and AB 879, enacted in 2017. Codified as Government Code 65400, this legislation requires cities to prepare a Housing APR that outlines annual building activity, housing development applications received, and progress towards achieving a city’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) (Attachment 3). The new Housing cycle began in October 2021, therefore new RHNA numbers were assigned to the City. The new allocations for the 2022-2029 cycle are as follows:

Very Low Low Moderate Above Moderate Total
420* 269 297 544 1,530
27% 18% 19% 36% 100%
*Extremely Low = 210. Half of the very low-income units are required to be for extremely low-income households.

The current report shows the City has exceeded its above moderate-income allocation goal for the 2022-2029 housing cycle. La Quinta’s adopted 2022-2029 Housing Element and current zoning identifies an inventory of sites that allow for affordable housing development, including recently acquired properties along the Highway 111 Corridor to provide for lower income allocations (Attachment 4).

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The General Plan APR and Housing APR are not subject to environmental review as the reports are not considered a project as defined in Section 15378(b)(2) of CEQA.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACT SERVICES WITH DESERT CONCEPTS CONSTRUCTION, INC. FOR ON-CALL PUBLIC

WORKS MAINTENANCE SERVICES AND INCREASE THE CONTRACT AUTHORITY FOR UP TO $350,000 OF WORK PER FISCAL YEAR

RECOMMENDATION
Approve Amendment No. 1 to Agreement for Contract Services with Desert Concepts Construction, Inc. for on-call public works maintenance services, increase the contract authority for up to $350,000 of work per fiscal year; and authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• Per the purchasing policy, combined amounts paid to vendors/contractors over $50,000 must be approved by the City Council.
• In June 2022, Desert Concepts Construction, Inc., (Desert Concepts) was awarded an agreement for on-call public works maintenance services (On-Call Services).

This provides flexibility to complete daily and/or deferred maintenance in a timely manner.
• Staff requests to increase contract authority from $200,000 per fiscal year (FY) to a not to exceed amount of $350,000 per FY.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the 2022/23 FY budget in various maintenance accounts (101-3005; 101-3008; 215-7004; 101-2002; 202-3004; 202-3006-60691; and 501-0000-71103; 601- 0000-60660; 101-7003-60103) and will be charged to the appropriate account depending on services rendered. If approved, the total amount that can be paid to Desert Concepts for FY 2022/23 would increase from $200,000 to not to exceed $350,000 for maintenance services.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The purchasing policy requires Council approval for purchases and/or contracts over $50,000. To date in FY 2022/23 the City has utilized Desert Concepts for a variety of services CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 7
95 Click Here to Return to Agenda
totaling $170,000, staff anticipates additional maintenance repairs such as stucco repair, painting, electrical repair, concrete, and roof repairs at the Library for $38,000.

In June 2022, Desert Concepts was awarded an agreement for On-Call Services. They have a history of providing quality work, ability to mobilize quickly, and will bid prevailing wage projects. In recent years they have performed a wide range of services including general construction, concrete sidewalk repairs, heating, ventilation and air conditioning installations, electrical, plumbing, landscape, irrigation, and asphalt repairs, and other tasks including emergency repairs.

In the current job market, it is difficult to keep up with deferred and daily maintenance.

Many maintenance service tasks for buildings, parks, landscape renovations, and streets and stormwater, require vendors to be certified by the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) and/or licensed contractors with appropriate insurance requirements to perform the work. It is becoming more difficult to locate vendors that meet the requirements, are willing to bid prevailing wage projects, and to obtain proposals.

If approved, Amendment No. 1 (Attachment 1) would allow staff to utilize Desert Concepts for maintenance services on an as-needed basis for a not to exceed amount of $350,000 for FY 2022/23.

ALTERNATIVES
Council may deny this request or direct staff to seek Council approval for any future work with Desert Concepts, however, staff does not recommend this as it could adversely affect work schedules.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: March 21, 2023

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: EXCUSE ABSENCES OF COMMISSIONERS CASTO AND DAVIDSON FROM THE MARCH 8, 2023, QUARTERLY HOUSING COMMISSION

MEETING

RECOMMENDATION
Excuse absences of Commissioners Virgina Casto and Gwendolyn Davidson from the March 8, 2023, quarterly Housing Commission meeting.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 Commissioner Casto requested to be excused from the March 8, 2023, Housing Commission meeting due to an illness. Commissioner Casto has one unexcused absence for fiscal year 2022/23.
 Commissioner Davidson requested to be excused from the March 8, 2023, Housing Commission meeting due to a family emergency. Commissioner Davidson has two unexcused absences for fiscal year 2022/23.

FISCAL IMPACT
No meeting attendance compensation is paid to absent members.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Municipal Code states: “If any member of a board, commission or committee absents him/herself from two consecutive regular meetings, or absents him/herself from a total of three regular meetings within any fiscal year, his/her office shall become vacant and shall be filled as any other vacancy. A board, commission or committee member may request advance permission from the city council to be absent at one or more regular meetings due to extenuating circumstances, and/or may request the city council to excuse an absence after-the-fact where such extenuating circumstances prevented the member from seeking advance permission to be absent. If such permission or excuse is granted by the city council, the absence shall not be counted toward the above-stated limitations on absences.”

ALTERNATIVES
Council may deny this request, which would result in the absence being counted toward each Commissioner’s limitation on absences as noted above.

The fiscal year annual effective rate of return is 1.55% as of December, which reflects a 25 basis point (bps) increase since September. City staff is continuing to evaluate liquidity needs and reinvesting money in short-term United States treasuries and the California Asset Management Program (CAMP) which are yielding more than the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF).

Throughout the quarter, one (1) agency bond, eleven (11) treasuries, one (1) corporate, and ten (10) CDs matured; two (2) agency bonds, six (6) treasuries, and nine (9) CDs were purchased. There were no sales or calls. Maturities and purchases are listed in detail in the attached report.

Other Notes
Money market funds with the fiscal agent are bond proceeds subject to bond indentures, not the City’s investment policy. Successor Agency (SA) funds cannot be invested longterm; therefore SA funds are only invested in LAIF.

Looking Ahead
The Treasurer follows a “buy and hold” Investment Policy unless it is fiscally advantageous to actively trade outside of maturity dates. In the short term, the Treasurer will invest in CAMP and LAIF as needed. Longer term investments may include Government Sponsored Enterprise (agencies) securities, U.S. Treasuries, Corporate Notes, and Negotiable Certificates of Deposits. All investments recognize both immediate and long-term cash flow needs, and there is sufficient liquidity in the portfolio to meet expenditure requirements for the next six months.

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.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: March 21, 2023

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS, ENGINEER’S ESTIMATE, AND ADVERTISE FOR BID THE HIGHWAY 111 REHABILITATION PROJECT NO. 2022-25

RECOMMENDATION
Approve plans, specifications, engineer’s estimate, and authorize Staff to bid the Highway 111 Rehabilitation Project No. 2022-25 from the city limits west of Washington Street to the city limits at Jefferson Street.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• This project will pulverize the existing pavement on Highway 111 from approximately 1,500 feet west of Washington Street to Jefferson Street within the city limits (Attachment 1). Work will also include minor improvements at curb ramps to begin the process of bringing them into Americans Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance.
• This project is not currently a part of the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP).

Staff is currently only requesting authorization to advertise and will present bids and request for funding at a separate meeting.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is currently no fiscal impact to advertise the project. The following is the anticipated project budget:

Total Budget
Design: $ 100,000
Professional: $ 50,000
Inspection/Testing/Survey: $ 500,000
Construction: $ 6,350,000
Contingency: $ 635,000
Total Budget: $ 7,635,000
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 12
183 Click Here to Return to Agenda

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
It has been several years since the two-mile stretch of Highway 111 in La Quinta has undergone rehabilitation and re-pavement – 10 to 12 years in some places and more than 16 years in others. The roadway is worn and cracked, leading to vehicle damage.

The average daily traffic on Highway 111 is estimated at 38,000 vehicles. Additionally, the Highway 111/Washington Street intersection is the most traveled intersection in the Coachella Valley.

The commercial/retail corridor of Highway 111 that runs through La Quinta provides about 75% of the City’s annual sales tax revenue.

On any given day, Highway 111 is heavily used by residents and visitors of the Coachella Valley commuting between the east and west ends of the Valley for work, school, shopping, and dining, and to access recreational and entertainment amenities in and around La Quinta.

This project has also been submitted for federal funding consideration with Senator Padilla and Senator Feinstein’s Offices. Staff will present if this project was successful for the additional funds at a separate meeting once bids are received.

Contingent upon approval to advertise the project for bid on October 6, 2022, the following is the project schedule:

Council Bid Authorization March 21, 2023
Bid Period March 27 to April 21, 2023
Council Considers Project Award May 2, 2023 (May be shifted to align with funding) Execute Contract and Mobilize May 3 to June 5, 2023

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: March 21, 2023

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE CONVERTING RIVERSIDE COUNTY SHERIFF’S

DEPARTMENT TRAFFIC CAR OFFICER POSITION TO A MOTOR OFFICER

POSITION

RECOMMENDATION
Approve converting a Riverside County Sheriff’s Department traffic car officer position to a motor officer position and authorize the Mayor to execute amendment to Law Enforcement Contract.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• Riverside County Sheriff’s Department (RCSD) provides law enforcement services to City of La Quinta.
• La Quinta Sheriff’s traffic team is currently staffed with five (5) traffic enforcement officers, consisting of three (3) traffic car officers, and two (2) motor officers.
• On March 7, 2023, the Council discussed the benefits of converting a traffic car to a motor position. During this meeting, staff was directed to bring this item back to Council as a business item.

FISCAL IMPACT
The one-time cost of converting a traffic officer to a motor officer is estimated to be $40,000, this includes the cost of one new motorcycle, equipment, and a motor deputy pay differential of $1.95 per hour. Thereafter, the annual cost is estimated to be $12,300 per year. The net annual increase is estimated to be $7,110 after savings associated with less patrol car mileage. Funds are available in the General Fund – Police Budget.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
At the Council meeting on March 7, 2023, RCSD discussed converting a traffic car position to a motor position to increase the number of officers assigned to motors to three (3) and reducing traffic car positions to two (2). As discussed, the benefits of a motor officer include more maneuverability through traffic, the ability to monitor problem areas from multiple locations due to the motorcycle’s smaller profile, and the ability to respond BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1
187 Click Here to Return to Agenda
to priority calls faster, thus reducing the response time within the City. Additionally, the maneuverability of motors allows officers to better support local events with large attendances.

ALTERNATIVES
Council may elect to modify, delay, or deny this request.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: March 21, 2023

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: AUTHORIZE A LETTER, ON BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL, TO THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA OPPOSING THE STATE’S PLAN TO CLOSE

CHUCKAWALLA VALLEY STATE PRISON IN THE CITY OF BLYTHE AND SUPPORT

THE CLOSING OF THE CALIFORNIA REHABILITATION CENTER IN THE CITY OF NORCO

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize a letter, on behalf of the City Council, to the Governor of California opposing the State’s planned closure of Chuckawalla Valley State Prison in the City of Blythe and join the cities of Blythe and Norco in proposing the California Rehabilitation Center in the City of Norco be closed as an alternative.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 The League of California Cities and cities of Blythe and Norco are requesting the City oppose a decision by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to close Chuckawalla Valley State Prison (CVSP) in the City of Blythe in March 2025.
 The cities of Blythe and Norco are proposing that if the State is going to close a facility it instead be the California Rehabilitation Center in Norco.

FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
On December 6, 2022, the CDCR announced the closure of CVSP by March 2025.

Among the reasons the State cited for closing CVSP is California’s declining prison population, which has dropped by more than 78,000 since 2010 due to a variety of measures, including state legislation, voter initiatives, federal court orders and administrative actions by the CDCR.

The City of Blythe would suffer debilitating economic impacts should CVSP be closed.

The potential for job loss in the City of Blythe is staggering and debilitating. CDCR is required to take into consideration workforce impacts when determining prison closures.

BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 2
189 Click Here to Return to Agenda
CVSP is a major employer in Blythe, employing 852 individuals, most of whom reside in Blythe and the Coachella Valley.

Due to the City of Blythe’s isolated location, many families of incarcerated individuals and prison staff have made Blythe their home and with the current housing crisis it may be incredibly challenging for these individuals and families to afford housing in less affordable areas of the State where the prisons remaining open are located.

CVSP is one of the newer facilities in the State Prison System, and the State recently invested hundreds of millions of dollars upgrading the HVAC system at CVSP to accommodate inmates in the summer months.

Palo Verde College in Blythe stands to lose 250 full-time equivalent students due to this closure because the college pioneered an inmate education program that has since become a statewide program.

The closure of CVSP could ultimately result in the loss of their community hospital, leaving thousands of residents, most of which do not have a car or the means to travel 100 miles to the next closest hospital, without access to health care. Additionally, if the hospital were to close it would result in the loss of approximately 115 hospital jobs.

ALTERNATIVES
The Council may decide to take no action.

The Honorable Gavin Newsom, Governor
State of California
1021 O Street, Suite 9000
Sacramento, CA 95814
Re: Reconsideration of the Closure of Chuckawalla Valley State Prison in Blythe Dear Governor Newsom,
The City of La Quinta supports the City of Blythe in its request that you reconsider the closure of Chuckawalla Valley State Prison (CVSP), in the City of Blythe. Closing CVSP will have a disproportionate impact on the City of Blythe, the Palo Verde Valley which is one of the poorest areas in the State and the Riverside County region.

We need to be lifting communities up that need assistance, not aiding them in becoming more disadvantaged.

If the State is committed to closing a prison facility, the City of La Quinta further supports the City of Norco in its request to have the California Rehabilitation Center (CRC) shuttered instead of CVSP.

Blythe is a small, geographically isolated city in eastern Riverside County on the border between California and Arizona.

Due to their isolated location, many families of incarcerated individuals and prison staff have made Blythe their home and with the current housing crisis it may be incredibly challenging for these individuals and families to afford housing in less affordable areas of the State where the prisons remaining open are located.

CDCR is required to take into consideration workforce impacts when determining prison closures.

CVSP is a major employer in Blythe, employing 852 individuals, most of whom reside in Blythe and the Coachella Valley. Palo Verde College in Blythe stands to lose 250 full-time equivalent 191 Click Here to Return to Agenda
students due to this closure because the college pioneered an inmate education program that has since become a statewide program.

Impacts will also be felt at Palo Verde Hospital in Blythe, the only hospital for more than 100 miles, which routinely treats patients from CVSP. Most of Blythe’s residents are without insurance or are on State-subsidized plans. Sustaining hospital operations without the prison will be challenging.

The closure of CVSP could ultimately result in the loss of their community hospital, leaving thousands of residents, most of which do not have a car or the means to travel 100 miles to a hospital, without access to health care. Additionally, if the hospital were to close it would result in the loss of approximately 115 hospital employee jobs.

CVSP is one of the newer facilities in the State Prison System. The State recently invested hundreds of millions of dollars upgrading the HVAC system at CVSP to accommodate inmates in the summer months.

Also, according to the February 28, 2020, report prepared by the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO), titled “The 2020-21 Budget: Effectively Managing State Prison Infrastructure,” a recent study recommended over 150 specific infrastructure improvement projects across the State’s 12 oldest prisons, which were built between the 1850s and 1960s. The estimated cost to complete the projects was $11 billion.

The estimated cost for maintenance and repairs for CVSP was $430 million, compared to $1.647 billion for projects at San Quentin State Prison, $1.557 billion for California Men’s Colony, and $1.116 billion for Norco’s California Rehabilitation Center. Given the projected budget deficit, it seems prudent to stretch the general fund dollars to as many areas as possible.

There must be more cost-effective solutions for the State than closing a newer institution in a low-cost area. There are minimal opportunities to repurpose this facility but there are ample opportunities to repurpose the lands on which other older more dilapidated prisons sit.

The cities of Blythe and Norco both deserve a seat at the table and an opportunity to discuss the proposed closure and get answers to any questions they have. We support both cities and want to make sure our region has the resources they need to thrive. Thank you. 192 Click Here to Return to Agenda

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: AUTHORIZE A LETTER, ON BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL, TO

COACHELLA VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD REGARDING THE

DISRESPECTFUL TREATMENT OF MAYOR PRO TEM SANCHEZ WHILE SPEAKING AT THE MARCH 9, 2023, BOARD MEETING

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize a letter, on behalf of the City Council, to the Coachella Valley Unified School District Board regarding the disrespectful treatment of Mayor Pro Tem Sanchez while speaking at the March 9, 2023, board meeting.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 Over the last five (5) months Riverside County Sheriff’s Department (RCSD) Deputies have responded to 11 incidents of school violent threats at various Coachella Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) schools, which have jeopardized student and staff safety; parents and students are demanding improved safety measures.
 On March 7, 2023, Council authorized that a letter be issued requesting CVUSD to reinstate School Resource Officers (SRO) to CVUSD schools as SROs can help prevent and mitigate safety incidents as they work closely with school staff, students, parents, and the RCSD to provide a safe learning environment for local schools.  Mayor Pro Tem Sanchez presented the letter, on behalf of the Council, at CVUSD’s March 9, 2023 board meeting.

FISCAL IMPACT – None.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Between November 2022 and March 2023, RCSD Deputies have responded to 11 incidents of school violent threats at various CVUSD schools. Students and parents are demanding improved safety measures and urging CVUSD to reinstate SROs to the schools to provide protection.

On March 7, 2023, Council authorized that a letter be issued to the CVUSD Superintendent Luis Valentino and Board requesting that SROs be reinstated at CVUSD BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 3
195 Click Here to Return to Agenda
schools. The letter was emailed to CVUSD Superintendent Valentino, CVUSD School Board, the City of Coachella City Council, and Supervisor Manuel Perez, to be included with the March 9, 2023, CVUSD Board meeting materials.

Mayor Pro Tem Sanchez attended that meeting and after being called upon to speak by the Board’s presiding officer, he began to read the letter from the City.

As Mayor Pro Tem Sanchez was nearing the end of the letter, the Board’s Presiding Officer told Mayor Pro Tem his allotted time to speak (3 minutes) was up, and his microphone was turned off. Mayor Pro Tem Sanchez finished reading the letter but could not be heard by those livestreaming the meeting.

While the time allotted for public comments is at the discretion of the Presiding Officer of any Board or City Council, it was noted that several others who spoke before Mayor Pro Tem Sanchez were allowed to go on for several minutes beyond the 3-minute limit without being cut off or the microphone muted.

The La Quinta City Council questions the lack of respect CVUSD Board members showed Mayor Pro Tem Sanchez, an elected representative of a neighboring city who was speaking on behalf of La Quinta residents, and others, who attend and work in CVUSD schools and have a shared concern for their safety.

Council requests that in the future, all who speak to the CVUSD Board be shown the same courtesy and respect and given equal amounts of time to make their presentations.

Council may elect not to issue a letter.

AGENDA TITLE: DISCUSS LA QUINTA CULTURAL CAMPUS PROJECT NO. 2019-01 MASTER PLANNING AND PRELIMINARY DESIGN PROGRESS

RECOMMENDATION
Discuss the master planning and preliminary design progress for the La Quinta Cultural Campus Project No. 2019-01.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• The La Quinta Cultural Campus is comprised of the La Quinta Museum, lumberyard property, and an art plaza in one dedicated area of the Village (Attachment 1).
• On March 1, 2022, an agreement was approved with HGA to provide master planning and preliminary design services for the La Quinta Cultural Campus Project (Project).
• On June 21, 2022, HGA presented preliminary design concepts to Council and was given feedback about their initial designs. HGA was asked to incorporate Council’s input in a revised design and return for further discussion. • Staff seeks Council input on the current progress and revised master planning design efforts for the Project.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Fiscal Years 2019/20 and 2020/21 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes budget for the Project. The following is the Project budget:

Project Budget
Professional $ 190,182
Master Planning/Design $ 532,114
Construction $ 2,053,636
Inspection/Testing/Survey $ 217,705
Contingency $ 316,363
TOTAL: $ 3,310,000
STUDY SESSION ITEM NO. 1
197 Click Here to Return to Agenda

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The La Quinta Museum opened to the public in 2007 with the historic casita serving as office/meeting space for the La Quinta Historical Society and museum staff. In 2018, the City acquired the property next to the museum known as the “lumberyard. Next to the lumberyard building sits a vacant lot, a potential location for a Cahuilla garden or art plaza.

Activation of this site allows for greater connection to other village cultural assets and adds to the museum’s offerings. The combination of these components creates the Project area, La Quinta Cultural Campus (Attachment 1) which ties together history, culture, art, and the indigenous heritage of La Quinta.

On March 1, 2022, Council approved an agreement with HGA to provide master planning and preliminary design for the Project. Council provided direction for staff to present the progress of the efforts as a study session prior to expending 10% of the total contract sum. On June 21, 2022, HGA presented preliminary design concepts to Council and was given feedback about the proposed initial designs. Council’s input included focusing efforts on museum reconfiguration, usage of the casita, and further assessment of the lumberyard/oasis area. HGA was asked to incorporate Council’s feedback in a revised design and return for further discussion. HGA, City staff, and Project stakeholders, have been working collaboratively on revising the preliminary design. HGA consultants and staff will present the progress and revised options for Council consideration, discussion, and direction.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: DISCUSS CITYWIDE PUBLIC SAFETY CAMERA SYSTEM PROJECT NO. 2022-12, PHASE 2

RECOMMENDATION
Discuss the citywide Public Safety Camera System Project No. 2022-12, Phase 2 proposed improvements.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• Phase 1 of the citywide Public Safety Camera System (PSCS) project was completed in August 2021 and the system went live on September 20, 2021. • At the 2022 annual Community Workshop, participants identified Phase 2 of the PSCS as a City priority, and funding was appropriated in the fiscal year (FY) 2022/23 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
• Public safety cameras and additional fiber installation are proposed for Phase 2 (Attachment 1).
• Council authorized use of PSCS Phase 2 funding in August 2022 for the SilverRock Venue Site Wi-Fi and Backbone (Project 2022-18), and in October 2022 for the X-Park Public Safety Cameras (Project 2022-23) to expedite those improvements.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding in the amount of $1,797,000 for Phase 2 PSCS was appropriated in the FY 2022/23 CIP. A draft cost estimate for the proposed Phase 2 PSCS is identified in Attachment 2. The following is the project budget:

201 Click Here to Return to Agenda
*Funding has been approved for the SilverRock Venue Site Wi-Fi and Backbone (Project 2022- 18) and X-Park Public Safety Cameras (Project 2022-23)

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In October 2016, the PSCS Ad-Hoc Committee was formed to explore if implementing public safety cameras would increase law enforcement and fire efficiency, reduce criminal activity, and improve emergency response. Public safety is a priority for residents, Council and staff and a PSCS could be a force multiplier. Further, with ever increasing law enforcement costs, the City is seeking ways to improve police services by incorporating technology-driven service enhancements to supplement Riverside County Sheriff’s Department personnel.

On August 3, 2021, Phase 1 of the PSCS was completed and the system went live on September 20, 2021. Over the past year and a half, the La Quinta Police Department (LQPD) and city staff have been using the system to effectively monitor city property, traffic incidents and traffic flow, managing special events, and major wind and rain events.

At the 2022 annual Community Workshop, Phase 2 PSCS was identified as a community priority. Funding was appropriated in the FY 22/23 CIP for Phase 2 PSCS Project 2022-

12. The City Council authorized the use of the Phase 2 PSCS funding to complete the SilverRock Park Venue Wi-Fi and Camera Backbone Project No. 2022-18 and X-Park Public Safety Cameras Project No. 2022-23 to accelerate those projects.

Phase 2 Proposed Camera Locations:
 Maintenance and Operations Yard (3 cameras – modular office building, visitor parking, and main vehicle gate)
 La Quinta Park (3 cameras - skate Park, children’s playground, and fitness area)  Adams Park (2 cameras)
 SilverRock Venue Site (4 cameras)
 Velasco Park (1 camera)
 Eisenhower Park (1 camera)
 Top of Cove (radio cameras) (Seven (7) cameras – Three (3) Cove Oasis area, two (2) Bear Creek trailhead, two (2) parking lot/restroom area) Phase 2 Proposed Fiber Installation:
 Eisenhower Drive: From Calle Sinaloa to Calle Tampico  Avenida Montezuma: From Eisenhower Drive to La Quinta Museum and City owned Parking Lot at Avenida Bermudas

To address the rapid influx of STVR uses from visitors outside the City when the thenapplicable statewide “stay at home” order was in effect to limit and prevent the spread of COVID-19, the City imposed a moratorium on the issuance of new STVR permits in nonexempt areas on August 4, 2020, via Executive Order No. 10, issued pursuant to the authority then-available under the proclaimed local emergency relating to COVID-19.

After numerous public meetings and input from the STVR ad-hoc committee, effective May 20, 2021, the moratorium (among other provisions) was codified as a permanent ban on the issuance of new STVR permits in non-exempt areas via the addition of Section 3.25.055 of the LQMC. Permit-holders may renew existing permits, but permits cannot be transferred.

No new permits in non-exempt areas have been issued since August 4, 2020. New permits continue to be issued for the few exempt areas zoned for tourist commercial, village commercial, and communities expressly developed to allow STVRs vis-à-vis specified agreements or location, which are depicted on the map in Attachment 2.

A citizen ballot initiative, Measure A (Nov. 2022), proposing to phase-out and permanently ban non-hosted STVRs in non-exempt areas in La Quinta by December 31, 2024, qualified for the November 2022 ballot. “Non-hosted” STVRs, as defined by Measure A, did not include “Homeshare” STVRs in the proposed ban. Measure A was not approved by the qualified voters.

Currently, there are a total of 17 Homeshare STVR permits in La Quinta, which were permitted prior to the moratorium on new STVR permits. The current permanent ban on the issuance of new STVR permits in non-exempt areas applies to all permit types, including Homeshares. Chapter 3.25 defines Homeshare STVR permit as follows:
"Homeshare short-term vacation rental permit" is a type of STVR permit whereby the owner hosts visitors in the owner's dwelling, for compensation, for periods of 30 consecutive calendar days or less, while the owner lives on-site and in the dwelling, throughout the visiting occupant's stay.

B. Develop and add a process by which a residential dwelling in non-exempt areas would be able to apply for, and have considered at a public meeting for decision, an exemption from the ban if specified criteria, supported by evidence, can be met.

Any such process could include typical noticing and publication requirements, such as delivering written notices to properties within 500 feet of the residential dwelling seeking the exemption from the ban, as well as designating the City decisionmaking person or body, such as the City Council. The ability to apply for an exemption, and evaluation and determination by the designated City decisionmaking body, would be based on specified criteria that may include:
 Verification of the number of bedrooms;
210 Click Here to Return to Agenda
 Large lot size on which the residential dwelling is located and built at the time of processing an application (for instance, a lot size to be at least 25,000 square feet);
 Adequate on-site parking spaces;
 Physical distance of the residential dwelling from adjacent properties, such as location and distance of outdoor gathering spaces, pools, and other living spaces from neighboring properties;
 Evaluation of active STVR units within 500 feet of the residential dwelling;  Limits to both the total number of exemptions that may be issued within the City boundaries, as well as annual limits on the number of exemptions that may be issued; for example, no more than 20 exemptions would be allowed Citywide, and no more than three (3) exemptions could be approved during a calendar year;
 Generally ensuring that allowing a STVR unit at the proposed site 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.

The proposed process would involve a separate application and determination to address the unique characteristics and circumstances that may apply to residential properties in non-exempt areas, and aims to provide a mechanism for the City to exempt properties from the ban that are located within large lots and do not have the typical environment and elements of a single-family dwelling. If an exemption is granted, the property owner would still need to apply for and meet all of the criteria for obtaining a new STVR permit.

The intent to allow limited exemptions from the ban for residential dwelling in non-exempt areas may best be explained by pictures. For instance, the map below depicts the location of the 9.25-acre property, of which the built-out area accounts for only 5,553 square feet and consists of seven (7) bedrooms spread between the main dwelling, guest house, and servants quarters; it includes a large pool and patio, horse stables, and outside gardens/resting areas; it is surrounded by approximately 5-acres of orchards; and it is located behind a private gate.

C. Develop and add an exemption from the ban on the issuance of new STVR permits in non-exempt areas for qualifying residential projects that are governed by a Homeowner Association (HOA) that allows the residential dwelling(s) that would be subject to the exemption to have STVRs.

Council previously considered such an exemption at the April 20, 2021, regular meeting; the minutes from this meeting are included as Attachment 3. Council decided to have this item tabled for a future discussion.

If such an exemption is approved, the requirements that would apply are generally summarized below:
 Use of the residential dwellings as STVRs is authorized under the HOA Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs);
 The voting membership of the HOA approves by a simple majority vote (50% + 1 vote) to be exempted from the non-issuance of new permits, and such vote confirms that all residential dwellings within the HOA may apply for a new STVR permit; and
 The HOA certifies that it has complied with any other voting requirements that must be followed pursuant to the CC&Rs or other operative documents governed by the HOA in connection with the voter-approval as stated above.

If the voting membership of the HOA votes to approve the exemption from the nonissuance of new STVR permits in non-exempt areas, the provisions regarding the nonissuance of new permits will no longer apply to, or ever be applicable, to any of the residential dwellings that are eligible to have STVRs within the HOA upon certification by the City that the criteria above have been met.

Any application submitted may only occur one (1) time per HOA that would be required to take a vote, and the decision as to whether this exemption would apply shall be based upon the vote by the voting members of the HOA identified at the time of the one (1) allowable application is submitted to the City.

On April 29, 2021, Staff sent written notices to the HOAs listed below requesting that interested HOAs notify the City; the City’s letter and HOA responses are included as Attachment 4:
 PGA West – Fairways Association
 PGA West – Master Association
 PGA West – Residential Association I
 PGA West – Residential Association II
 Santa Rosa Cove

Community Outreach
The City has established contacts within the community, which help identify necessary improvements and monitor compliance with the STVR program. These contacts include members in support and in opposition of the permanent ban on the issuance of new STVR permits currently in place.

Staff continues to provide information to help educate the community and create an understanding and awareness of the regulations, reviews, and processes that are in place to operate the STVR program.

Recreational Vehicles (RV) Regulations
A request to review RV regulations as they relate to STVR properties was received from a community group, specifically, to restrict overnight stay at such RVs.

RVs as defined by LQMC Section 9.280.030 mean all trailers or any vehicle placed on a trailer, such as a boat, watercraft, or other vehicle, plus any vehicle designed and used for temporary habitation, including motorhomes, travel trailers, “5th wheels” and camper shells.

In accordance with LQMC Section 9.60.130, included as Attachment 5, the following apply:
 Storing or parking RVs in the front yard area of any property zoned residential (RVL, RL, or RM) is prohibited.
 RVs may be parked or stored in the front, side, or rear yards of residential properties located in the RC zone, per certain requirements.  Storing RVs in the side yard is allowed provided it is behind a permanently maintained solid wall or fence 6-feet in height.
 RVs may be parked on a public street and occupied for no more than 72 hours within a 7-day period.

Pursuant to Chapter 3.25 of the LQMC, the following regulations are currently in effect:
 Section 3.25.030 – notes that the definition of a “dwelling” does not include any impermanent, transitory, or mobile means of temporary lodging, including but not limited to mobile homes, RVs, car trailers, and camping tents.  Section 3.25.050 – no property in the city may be issued a STVR permit or used as a STVR unit unless the property is a residential dwelling. 214 Click Here to Return to Agenda
 Section 3.25.070 – no non-permanent improvements to a property, such as tents, trailers, or other mobile units, may be used as STVRs.

As outlined above, in accordance with City regulations, RVs do not constitute additional bedrooms and do not increase the total number of day-time/night-time allowed occupants at a permitted STVR; if such illegal activity occurs, it would be subject to enforcement.

Bedrooms
No permit is ever issued or renewed unless the number of bedrooms is verified.

The City reviews and confirms the number of bedrooms for each STVR property prior to issuing a new STVR permit or renewing a permit pursuant to State and local regulations and requirements. In addition, the City conducts a monthly Transient Occupancy Tax audit of active STVR properties, which includes verifying that the approved number of bedrooms per the STVR permit is listed on active advertisements. If discrepancies are observed, the owner must correct the advertisement and the matter is referred to Code Compliance for investigation and applicable enforcement.

In 2018, in response to inadequate bedroom conversions observed in the community, the City issued three (3) moratoriums, until permanent regulations regarding bedroom conversions were codified in the LQMC via Sections 9.50.100 and 9.60.100, included as Attachment 6.

Staff researched a list of 124 properties provided by community members and confirmed that the approved number of bedrooms for each of the listed properties was verified pursuant to the City’s established review process outlined below and in accordance with California State and local regulations.

The City’s verification process is as follows:
 STVR application is submitted along with a recorded grant deed;  Staff verifies the number of bedrooms against the property title information with the Riverside County Assessor;
 If the number of bedrooms does not match, staff verifies with the City’s Building Division for any building permits for permitted additions and/or against the building plans, which may include options, within the approved floor plan types, of certain areas, such as dens, studies, or additional garage spaces, that may have been converted into bedrooms;
 If the number of bedrooms cannot be verified via building plans or permits, or if such are not on record with the City, a Code Compliance Officer will conduct a 215 Click Here to Return to Agenda
special on-site inspection of the dwelling to confirm the number of bedrooms.

Inspections are conducted in accordance with California State Building Code and LQMC requirements.

Bedroom regulations are pursuant to the California Residential Code 2022 Chapter 3 and LQMC Sections 9.50.100 and 9.280.060:
 Size – single-occupancy bedrooms should have at least 70 square feet of floor space, with a minimum of 7 feet in one direction. At least half of the ceiling must be at least 7 feet tall.
 Access – the bedroom must have access through a swinging door.  Egress – at least 1 opening should be at least 24 inches tall by 20 inches wide.

The window opening should be at least 5.7 square feet; if the opening is a window it can’t be installed more than 44 inches above the floor.  Lighting and Ventilation – the windows must have a total combined glass area of at least 8% of the floor area, and the combined opened window area should be at least 4%.
 Electrical Outlets – a bedroom must have receptacles outlets spaced within 12 feet of each other on all walls, and have a light connected to a switch at the access point.
 Heating – the heating system must be able to keep the bedroom warm by at least 68 degrees.
 Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms – these are required within the room and the area outside the room if interior.
