Agenda packet — La Quinta City Council, January 16, 2024 (part 5 of 5)

The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians responded to the AB 52 consultation letter that although the Project Site is outside of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians territory, it is within the Tribe’s Traditional Use Area and therefore requested that an archaeological monitor be present during ground disturbing activities.

Mitigation Measures TRI-1, TRI-2, and TRI-3 were determined to be required to address all tribes’ requests and ensure that the Project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource.
2023 Proposed Project Analysis
The 2023 Proposed Project occurs on the same site assessed by the 2018 TCLQ Initial Study. Because the 2023 Proposed Project includes a Specific Plan Amendment, the City conducted an SB 18 consultation.

Only one tribe (Agua Caliente) has responded with interest in scheduling an agency-to-agency meeting.

The City responded by sending them a copy of the latest cultural resources information, including the mitigation measures identified in the 2018 TCLQ Initial Study. The Agua Caliente tribe indicated that implementation of Mitigation measures TRI-1, TRI-2 and TRI-3 continued to be sufficient to address their concerns.

4.19.1 Discussion
Summary of 2018 TCLQ Initial Study
Wastewater Facilities and Demand
Sanitary sewer collection and treatment facilities are provided by the CVWD within most of the City. There are existing sewer mains in Adams Street and Auto Center Drive to which the Project would connect to.

The CVWD determined it had sufficient capacity to service the Project. Additionally, the Project would pay a connection fee that would financially assist toward future expansion and upgrading wastewater drainage infrastructure if required. Impacts to wastewater connection and service were determined to be less than significant.

As stated in the General Plan EIR, it is assumed that domestic wastewater flows are equivalent to the potable water demand projections. Therefore, the Project, consisting of 131 residential units and a 125- room hotel would generate 66.04 acre-feet of wastewater per year, or 58,957 gallons per day. The amount of wastewater generated by the Project would account for a nominal 1.47 percent of the remaining capacity of the Mid-Valley Water Reclamation Plant (WRP-4). The impacts would be less than significant.

Stormwater Facilities and Demand
Pursuant to the WQMP, the Project would be required to implement stormwater best management practices that limit the volume and flow of stormwater to the municipal storm sewer system (Appendix F of the 2018 TCLQ Initial Study). Therefore, overall, impacts would be less than significant.

Water Facilities and Demand
The commercial development permitted under the current zoning (Regional Commercial with floor area ratio of 0.35) would be 335,412 square feet in size. The water demand of a corporate building (permitted under the existing Regional Commercial zone) would be 12.78 acre-feet per year (34g/sf/day x 335.412 ksf x 365 = 4,162,462 gallons, or 12.78 acre-feet).

Although the Project would result in increased water usage beyond existing conditions (since the site is currently vacant) and what was planned under the City’s General Plan, the increased water demand only accounts for a negligible amount of CVWD’s water supply. No new or expanded water supply entitlements would be needed. Therefore, potential impacts would be less than significant.

Solid Waste Facilities and Demand
The City has a solid waste service agreement with Burrtec Waste and Recycling Services, LLC for the collection and transport of solid waste to landfill sites. The Edom Hill Transfer Station accepts solid waste from the City. All waste received at the Edom Hill Transfer Station is transferred to one of three landfills:

Lambs Canyon Landfill near Beaumont, Badlands Landfill near Moreno Valley, and El Sobrante Landfill near Corona. According to the CalRecycle Estate Solid Waste Generation rates website, the 125-room hotel would generate 250 pounds of solid waste per day (2pounds/room/day).The residential development would generate 1,602 pounds of solid waste per day (12.23lbs/household/day)33. In total, 524 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
Site Development Permit No. SDP2022-0007 June 2023
The Centre at La Quinta Specific Plan 97-029 Amendment No. 6 - SP2022-0003 The Centre at La Quinta Specific Plan Initial Study Addendum No. 1

Page 83 ends

the Project would generate 1,852 pounds of solid waste per day. The three existing landfills described above would have long-term capacity sufficient for expected solid waste generated by the Project, and Burrtec plans to provide service to accommodate future development. Impacts were less than significant.

Solid waste disposal services must follow federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to the collection of solid waste. Therefore, potential impacts would be less than significant. 2023 Proposed Project Analysis
The Project Site is in the same area as assessed in the 2018 TCLQ Initial Study. The 2023 Proposed Project is related to the hotel element of the 2018 Proposed Project and proposes the same number of rooms as identified in the 2018 TCLQ Initial Study assessment, therefore, the impacts to utilities and service systems are the same as previously analyzed. Impacts would be less than significant.

4.19.2 Mitigation Measures
2018 TCLQ Initial Study Mitigation Measures Applicable/Not Applicable No mitigation measures were required to reduce impacts
because all impacts were less than significant.

Applicable. The 2023 Proposed Project is the same
as 2018 Proposed Project with respect to Utilities
and Service Systems.

4.19.3 Conclusion
The Proposed Project would not result in any impacts beyond those identified in the previously approved 2018 TCLQ Initial Study. The Proposed Project contains no substantial changes to the implementation of the TCLQ Specific Plan, there have been no substantial changes in circumstances, and no new information has become available, not known and could not have been known, at the time that 2018 TCLQ Initial Study was approved, that would require major revisions to the 2018 TCLQ Initial Study. 525 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

4.20 WILDFIRE

If located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones, Would the project:
a) Substantially impair an adopted emergency
response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
Not
Analyzed No No No
b) Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors,
exacerbate wildfire risks, and thereby expose
project occupants to, pollutant concentrations from
a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of wildfire?
Not
Analyzed No No No
c) Require the installation or maintenance of
associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks,
emergency water sources, power lines or other
utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may
result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the
environment?
Not
Analyzed No No No
d) Expose people or structures to significant risks,
including downslope or downstream flooding or
landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope
instability, or drainage changes?
Not
Analyzed No No No

4.20.1 Discussion
An analysis of the wildfire risk was not required by the CEQA Guidelines at the time the 2018 TCLQ Initial Study was prepared and therefore was not analyzed. However, the wildfire risk was known at the time of the 2018 TCLQ Initial Study and is covered briefly by Guidelines Criterion IX(g) which evaluated a Project’s potential hazard to expose people and structures to wildfire. The 2018 TCLQ Initial Study identified that the Project Site is located within an urban area and not adjacent to wildlands. In addition, according to the CAL FIRE Riverside County Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map, the Project Site is not located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Therefore, Project implementation would not expose people or structures to a significant risk involving wild land fires.
2023 Proposed Project Analysis
The Project Site is in the same area as assessed in the 2018 TCLQ Initial Study. The 2023 Proposed Project is related to the hotel element of the 2018 Proposed Project and proposes the same number of rooms as identified in the 2018 TCLQ Initial Study assessment, therefore, the impacts to utilities and service systems are the same as previously analyzed. Impacts would be less than significant. 526 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

Summary of 2018 TCLQ Initial Study
Implementation of the 2018 Proposed Project was determined not degrade the quality of the environment;substantially reduce the habitats of fish or wildlife species; cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels; threatens to eliminate a plant or animals; or eliminate important examples of major periods of California history or prehistory with the incorporation of the identified mitigation measures.

The Air Quality and Transportation/Traffic analyses presented in Section 3 and Section 16, respectively, of 2018 TCLQ Initial Study considered cumulative impacts and determined that cumulative air quality and traffic impacts would be less than significant. The 2018 Proposed Project would have less than significant 528 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

Page 87 ends

impacts to all other resource areas discussed in the analysis section, above. No additional mitigation measures would be required to reduce cumulative impacts to less than significant levels.

Previous sections of this Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration reviewed the Project’s potential impacts related to air quality, geology/soils, hazards/hazardous materials, noise, vibration, and other environmental issue areas that could impact human beings. Implementation would not displace or otherwise significantly impact existing residences. As concluded in these previous discussions, the 2018 Project would result in less than significant environmental impacts with implementation of project design features, conditions, and recommended mitigation measures. Therefore, with implementation of the specified mitigation, the project would cause less than significant adverse effects on human beings. 2023 Proposed Project Analysis
The Project Site is in the same area as assessed in the 2018 TCLQ Initial Study. The 2023 Proposed Project is related to the hotel element of the 2018 Proposed Project and proposes the same number of rooms as identified in the 2018 TCLQ Initial Study assessment.

And though the hotel size and FAR would increase, the impacts would be the same as identified in the 2018 TCLQ Initial Study because the primary environmental categories which would be applicable to the increased FAR include stormwater controls, noise, and aesthetics. This analysis identified that the 2023 Project would comply with the latest stormwater management controls; noise was determined to be the same as the 2018 TCLQ Initial Study because the number of rooms were the same; and the building would be designed using high quality materials and architectural treatments thereby reducing the potential aesthetic impacts. Overall, the 2023 Proposed Project would result in less than significant impacts on humans.

All applicable mitigation measures identified in the 2018 TCLQ Initial Study apply to the 2023 Proposed Project and were determined adequate and feasible to reduce the 2023 Proposed Project impacts.

4.21.2 Conclusions
The 2018 TCLQ Initial Study identified that all resource topics associated with the Project were analyzed in accordance with State CEQA Guidelines and found to pose no impact, less than significant impact, or less than significant impact with mitigation.

The 2023 Proposed Project would not result in any impacts beyond those identified in the previously approved 2018 TCLQ Initial Study. The Proposed Project contains no substantial changes to the implementation of the TCLQ Specific Plan, there have been no substantial changes in circumstances, and no new information has become available, not known and could not have been known, at the time that 2018 TCLQ Initial Study was approved, that would require major revisions to the 2018 TCLQ Initial Study.

Therefore, none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred with respect to any of the Environmental Subject Areas in the most current CEQA Guidelines.

CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 sets out the conditions in which an adopted MND can be revised or amended:
(a) The lead agency or a responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.
(b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. (c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration.
(d) The decision-making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project.
(e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency's required findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence.

Based on this analysis, all the conditions of CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 have been met, and an Addendum to the 2018 TCLQ Initial Study is the appropriate document to approve the Proposed Project. 530 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

Subject: La Quinta Parking and Traffic Consistency Study (JN 0232-0023) Dear Mr. Kadakia:

Trames Solutions Inc. is pleased to submit the following parking and Traffic Consistency study for the proposed La Quinta Hotel project. It is our understanding that the site is proposed to be developed with a 125 room hotel. The project site is located south of Auto Center Dr. and east of Auto Center Way in the City of La Quinta.

INTRODUCTION
The La Quinta Hampton Inn (Project) is a 3 story, 125 room hotel, located on a 2.80- acre site, on the southwest corner of Auto Centre Drive and La Quinta Drive. This Project falls within “The Centre at La Quinta’s Specific Plan” (SP 97-029), as amended by Amendment 5 (2017-0003). The proposed Project site is adjacent to a car dealership on the North, a vacant commercial lot to the west, the Walmart shopping center to the east and residential planned development to the south, which is consistent with the planned development identified within the specific plan.

The Centre at La Quinta’s Specific Plan Amendment 5, as adopted by the City of La Quinta on July 3, 2018, incorporated a 3 story, 125 room hotel, as a part of that specific plan amendment. Since hotel traffic is based upon the number of rooms, the proposed Project would be consistent with the previous traffic assumptions, regardless of the need to revise the Floor Area Ratio (FAR).

The site plan for the project is included in Attachment A. As indicated on the site plan, a total of 125 parking spaces will be provided for the proposed hotel. The parking areas will be accessed by driveways on Auto Center Drive and Auto Center Way.

The purpose of this parking evaluation is to determine the appropriate number of parking spaces that should be provided for the site to adequately serve the proposed project.

CITY OF LA QUINTA PARKING CODE REQUIREMENTS
The following parking rate is based on the City of La Quinta Municipal Zoning Code for the uses associated with the proposed site:

Hotel = 1.1 spaces per room (minimum) plus required parking for other uses on the site The proposed hotel would not have amenities that would require additional parking spaces. Therefore, according to the code requirements, the following number of parking spaces would be required for the proposed use:

Hotel: 125 rooms x (1.1 spaces per room) = 138 spaces
The project is proposing to provide 125 parking spaces. Based on the City’s parking requirements, this would leave a shortfall of 13 spaces.

PARKING EVALUATION
The parking rates for hotels for other Cities in the Coachella Valley have been compared to the City of La Quinta’s rate. The Cities of Palm Springs and Palm Desert parking rates are indicated below:

Palm Springs – 1 parking space for the first 50 hotel rooms and 0.75 spaces for every additional room. Based on this criterion, a total of 107 (107 = 50 + 57) spaces would be required.

Palm Desert – 1 space per unit plus additional spaces for other on-site uses. This criterion would require a total of 125 spaces.

The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) has published a manual that summarizes parking demand findings for a variety of land uses. The manual entitled Parking Generation (5th Edition, 2019) provides recommended parking rates for uses based on independent variables. For land use code 310 (Hotel), the manual indicates that the average parking rate is 0.74 and the 85th percentile parking rate is 0.99 parking spaces per room for suburban areas (See Attachment B). This rate accounts for hotels that include supporting facilities such as restaurants, lounges, meeting rooms, recreational facilities, and retail/service shops.

Based on the 85th percentile ITE parking rate for a hotel, the proposed project would be required to provide 124 spaces (124 = 0.99 spaces per room x 125 rooms). Since the project is proposing to provide 125 spaces, there would be a surplus of 1 space based on the ITE rate. It should be noted that although the proposed project does include a restaurant, it does not include the other supporting facilities that were included in the ITE sample base.

PARKING REDUCTION MEASURES
Ridesharing
Ridesharing allows patrons to be dropped off and picked up at the site without their own vehicle. Rather than renting a vehicle, it would be more convenient and cost effective to use a ride sharing application.

Public Transit
Public bus service in the study area is provided by SunLine Routes 1 and 7. SunLine has stops along Highway 111 and Adams Street.

CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS
Parking Summary
Based on the City’s parking code, a total of 138 on-site parking spaces would be required for the proposed project. However, due to the studies performed by the Institute of Transportation Engineers and parking rates from other nearby cities, the parking demands for the 125 room hotel would range from 107 to 125 parking spaces. Furthermore, due to the convenience and cost savings of ride sharing, a further reduction in the parking demand can be assumed. Therefore, it is recommended that a minimum of 125 spaces be provided for the site.

Palm Springs Airport Commission Report – December 20, 2023 Meeting This meeting was the single most important meeting that I have participated in for the term I have served. My report will concentrate on the two options of the master plan update and why the commission made the decision that we did. Either plan will have a significant impact on the future of the Palm Springs airport which is an essential driver of tourism to the valley and also a necessity for residents in the Coachella Valley. The December commission meeting was a lengthy evaluation of both concepts and will now be presented to the February City Council.

Discussion and Action Items: Airport Master Plan: It has been narrowed down to two plans after having public meetings and gaining more public buy-in. - Alternative 1A is more conservative with renovating and adding wings on each side of the current airport terminal which is deemed a national historical building and the other plan, Alternative 3 is much more aggressive and will build an entire new airport on the south side.

Alternative 1A - Significantly lower total and Phase 1 ROM costs and likely lower costs to be passed along to airlines.

ADVANTAGES:
▪Maintains existing character of PSP by preserving major elements including the Wexler headhouse, the Bono concourse, the fountain, the Tahquitz Canyon Way connection, the outdoor courtyard, the mountain view corridors and the minimal walk distances. ▪Conveniently locates CONRAC immediately adjacent to the baggage claim. ▪Conveniently locates FIS near the existing baggage claim. ▪Eases construction phasing with multiple and entirely separate and modern concourses. ▪Estimated timeframe from end of Master Plan to ribbon cutting is 3.5 to 5 years. ▪Provides PSP opportunities for stopping points during construction of the four program phases in the event of an economic downtown or unforeseen demand reduction.

DISADVANTAGES:

Long term walking distance increases for south concours that would likely require moving walkways.

Requires significant renovation of existing spaces including Wexler headhouse and Bono concourse and associated energy efficiently impacts.

Operational challenges during construction include likely having to shuttle rental car passengers.

Alternative 3 - A state of the art airport which would be more energy efficient but much more costly and depend on federal grants and possible loans to complete all four phases

ADVANTAGES:

Creates brand new terminal and vehicle parking facilities. 595 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
New terminal systems would likely be more energy efficient and reduce annual operations and maintenance costs.

Minimizes terminal phasing disruptions to existing operations during construction.

Provides a larger landside area for the CONRAC.

Maintains historic Wexler terminal and allows the community to determine a future non-terminal related use for this important facility.

DISADVANTAGES:

Significantly higher ROM costs, particularly in Phase 1 that would need to be passed along to the airlines.

Phase 1 only results in a net gate of 2 gates from 18 currently to 20 total gates.

Minimal landside vehicle parking space is available given the need to relocate Kirk Douglas Way.

Currently, the Airport does not own much of the property between KDW & Ramon Road.

Gating operations on the RJ concourse would likely be reduced to three parking positions during construction—placing gate demand in a larger deficit from what it currently is today Disrupts the connection of the terminal to downtown Palm Springs via Tahquitz Canyon Way.

Requires a longer timeline from end of Master Plan to ribbon cutting.

Once construction of Phase 1 begins, the Airport is essentially committed to the significant investment of the overall program.

Operational challenges during construction include likely having to shuttle public parking passengers.

OUTCOME OF COMMISSION VOTE: After tense conversation, the majority of the commission voted to support the 1A plan. The cost of phase one for 1A is $879,427,910 and the total of the four phases is $2,207,886,262. The cost of phase one for 3 is $2,226,513,141 and the total of the four phases is $2,786,979,408. If the economy downturns or we have another pandemic, the 1A plan can take pause between phases. Unfortunately, with plan 3, once you start there is no turning back. One must complete the four phases. To me, this was the deal-breaker. My second concern was the ability to gain underwriting and grants for billions of dollars. The airport may need to reach out to private industry for support and that always comes with a cost. The fact that the baggage claim system which is new can be utilized in the 1A plan. Plan 3 would require a completely new system which means that the millions spent one year ago is completely wasted.

Lastly, as we all know, no construction ever goes as planned and there are always overruns in budget.

There is also no guarantee that the airlines would support financially the cost accessed to them in plan

3. Regardless of what PSP may think – it is a small airport that is seasonal. Airlines always have options and an airport that can support service throughout the air will always be more desirable.

The next Airport Commission Meeting will be January 17, 2024 at 5:30 pm.

Please use proper judgement and caution when opening attachments, clicking links or responding to requests for information. ** Monday Jan. 15, 2024
To The City Clerk of La Quinta,
My name is Cindy kramer and I am a resident of La Quinta. I grew up on the east coast. My husband and I fell in love with this enchanting Cochella Valley years ago and bought our home here. We enjoy the breathtaking nature and healthy lifestyle.

I want to share my support and ask for your support for efforts to preserve public lands and our local natural desert landscapes in eastern Riverside and Imperial counties. I deeply support the proposed designation of the Chuckwalla National Monument and expansion of the Joshua Tree National Park.

Designation as a national monument will be protecting these incredible wild lands, indigenous homelands, protecting the vast desert ecosystem, protecting the wildlife habitat and their movement corridors for many species like the Chuckwalla lizards, big horn sheep and desert tortoise.

This is important to me, many of the local residents & visitors that enjoy our breathtaking natural environment.

We need to ensure to preserve the land for our next generations to enjoy as well.

I ask you and the La Quinta City Council to promote this proposal with a resolution of support. Thankyou for your consideration and your leadership.

Wishing you the best,
Cindy kramer

Subject: PROPOSED CHUCKWALLA NATIONAL MONUMENT
** EXTERNAL: This message originated outside of the City of La Quinta. Please use proper judgement and caution when opening attachments, clicking links or responding to requests for information. ** I am writing to support the Chuckwalla National Monument that is proposed for designation in the near future. We in La Quinta know the value of having a national monument on our doorstep. The Santa Rosa and San Jacinto National Monument has greatly enhanced the “brand” of the City.

Both residents and tourists enjoy the hiking trails, the vistas and the assurance that these miles of mountains are truly preserved for coming generations of residents and tourists. It’s a magnet for hikers, bikers, photographers and painters. I live a stone’s throw from the Santa Rosa National Monument. Over the years my friends and family have enjoyed hiking up the mountain side and using the Bear Creek Trail. Now, most of us just sit and admire the dramatic views, sunrises and sunsets and the absence of hillside development. It’s a treasure.

A Chuckwalla National Monument would broaden the attraction that the Coachella Valley has for nature lovers and boost the economies of other nearby communities. The proposal is a balance of preservation and thoughtful use of the terrain: allowing limited hiking and off-road activities for a wide range of outdoors people.

The national monument designation will not only protect the natural spaces encompassed in the boundaries, but also the natural habitat of many desert creatures.

Please give your support to this project by creating a Resolution that expresses the wishes of the residents and the City government. Your quick action would remind our lawmakers that we are following this project and urge them to make a final decision.

La quinta Ca.

First I would like to thank the Mayor and the entire council for unanimously approving the changes to flag pole location to 5’ and 5’. Hopefully that will get more Flags Flying in La Qunita.

Council Member McGarrey
I loved your comments at the Nov 7th council meeting, you said “You fly that flag where you want to fly that flag” and you also said, “This is America let them fly their flags”.

I also would like to thank you for your many family members who have served in the the United States armed forces, especially your husband in the Air Force.

Afterwards I felt bad I did not mention my Dad Sherman Dickinson and his brother Larry Dickinson, my uncles Robert loffer and Charles Warner all served during WWII My Aunt’s Lee Loffer and Elizabeth Warner served in the red cross during WWII. My uncle Jerry Rutledge not only served in WWII but also Korea and Vietnam, all oversea. He retired from the Air Force as a Chief Master Sargent after 31 years of service to our country. My brother Storm Dickinson was wounded while serving in Vietnam.

Council Member Sanchez
I would like to thank you for your service in the US Marine Corps.

I also liked your comment during the Nov. 7th meeting when talking about the flag pole ordinance you said, “I agree HOA’s are better suited to govern themselves”, thank you for that comment.

Mayor Pro Tem Pena
I would again like to thank you and our city manager Jon McMillen for taking the time to come out to Andalusia and see things for yourself. During the Nov 7th council meeting you commented that you did not have a problem with the three poles location, and that they were all professionally installed and to let the HOA’s deal with the home owners. Thank you for your insight.

Council Member Fitzpatrick
As you known HOA’s have all kind of rules and regulations. Unlike your HOA in mine you can plant a palm tree right next to your neighbors property, but the trunk must be at least 9ft.. The palm leaves will hang 6ft. over your neighbors property 24-7. So if a flag and pole are located close to your neighbors property it may occasionally fly over theirs. Every HOA has different rules and regulations.

2 I loved your statement on Nov. 7th, you said “ I Love the flag too and I wish we could see more of them”.

As you found out that night only 3 flag pole permits have been issued. You also noted there are probably many more out there that did not apply for a permit. I talked to one of those 3 permitted homeowners he said that it cost him about $6,000 to buy and install a 20ft. pole in his yard. He had to pay $1,200 just to get an engineering report. A 30ft. palm tree that weighs at least twenty times more doesn’t need an engineering report to plant it. If you want to see more Flags Flying in La Quinta and have them permitted you need make it easier and less expense to do so. There are professional companies that flags and poles are their only business, like Jon’s Flags and Poles in Riverside. We used them and our cost was under $2,000 for a 15 ft. pole, flag and a professional installation.

I would like to thank you for your time and all your help going forward on this matter.

Happy New Year.

Flagpoles
Steve Grocott
La Quinta
Letter to the La Quinta City Council, Jon McMillan, and Danny Castro I understand the City Council is moving forward to let HOA’s be free of any city setback limitations and make their own decisions for flagpole placements.

A little history here on this issue and what happened to me and my wife that could happen to anyone when there are no “checks or balances” to poorly run HOA’s and poorly run city compliance departments.

My dispute and noncompliance of a flagpole location started over 9 months ago when my HOA in Andalusia made the mistake of allowing a 15 foot lighted flagpole location 18 inches from my property line which allowed a 5 foot flag to fly over our property line and in view of our bedroom, living room, looming over our patio and lowering our property value.

The current boilerplate HOA CCR rules and regulations are over 20 years old, vague and do not have any specific limits for setbacks or standards to a neighbor’s adjacent property. Progressive HOA’s in the La Quinta area have limited and controlled conflicts with flags and flagpoles by requiring them to be closer to the house or on the house itself.

Our HOA also did not know of the city’s compliance codes requiring permits and the “then” 10X10 setback limits. This mistake by the HOA started this whole dispute within the Andalusia community.

The city was informed and from here a compliance inspector was sent out, Officer Woods, and he noted that he could not believe the HOA would allow this location. At this point enforcement letters were sent for City compliance enforcement of the current setback codes to the neighbors involved with the out of compliance flagpoles.

Then magically something happened. The city proposed amending the current 10 X 10 code to 10 X 5 setbacks and all enforcement stopped. This 10 X 10 setback code had been on the books for some 4 years and all of a sudden somebody in the city compliance department decided it needed to be changed?? CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
Most probably somebody got to an ear in the city that these setbacks would put these pole locations in the pool area. But wait, this would be good solution because the flagpoles would be on the other side of the pool , closer to the house and not have this great impact on the adjacent neighbors and still be able to have a flag and flagpole.

This logical step was not taken and the next step was a 10 X 5 amendment that went to the city planning commission and they asked the same questions I had , “Why is this current compliance regulation (10X10) being changed that has been in place for 4 years”?
Nobody had a good answer other than it created more “flexibility” and nobody knew who was pushing this amendment. The planning commission rejected changing the current setbacks and provided that recommendation to the city council.

When the city council met on this change the 10X5 magically changed again to 5X5 setbacks (this is in the city records). I guess someone did not measure correctly from the pole to the pool. And still nobody knew why this was being changed and who was driving the amendment.

After a “patriot” meeting the City Council adopted the new setbacks for the 3 flagpole houses to 5X5 which puts a 5 foot flag right on a neighbor’s property line and a 6 foot flag would be flying over a property line. So at this point the city has enforced nothing after 9 months and has changed the codes and are now looking at giving the same HOA the decision making authority to make the same mistakes. THIS MAKES NO COMMON SENSE.

I feel we have been unfairly treated by the city with the changes to the codes in midstream of compliance enforcement. The community is also not getting a fair shake from the city because with only 3 flagpoles out of 250 homes in Andalusia it is fairly obvious that the majority of residents do not want flag poles not to mention that the 3 that were put up were disputed. The city is making these decisions to the minority and not to the sediment of the majority of people that want to see the natural beauty of La Quinta without 15 foot flagpoles up in front of property lines that affect others.

I know the mayor stated she wanted to see more flagpoles in La Quinta?? It is one thing to see these lighted flagpoles from afar, 300 yards away but when they are 30 feet away from your bedroom and living room windows and looming above your patio I think you would take a different perspective. Do any of the council members have a 15 foot flagpole?? I don’t think so and you may wonder to yourselves why not? Jon McMillan and John Pena said they came out to Andalusia and took a look at the flag pole locations?? Don’t know what far away fairway they looked down, but they did not come to our house and stood in our patio to see our perspective. I sent letters to the city manager Jon McMillan in October inviting him to come by with no response CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
other than they are looking at changing the compliance setbacks in which the city conveniently did for the out of compliance residents who had the flag poles.

I value our country, the flag and have family members that have served in past wars and have been wounded in these wars and friends who have died in Vietnam. I very much value their service but my patriotism lies in my heart, and I do not need to project this patriotism in the form of a 15’ flagpole especially when it impacts others.

Who does that?
As most residents do, I came to La Quinta for the natural beauty of the desert, the mountains, and the sunsets. I guess it may be time to look to find another “Gem in the Desert” somewhere that prioritizes that belief.

Take care and enjoy your council meeting.
