HAND OUTS
CITY COUNCIL
MEETING
FEBRUARY 6, 2024
Mayor Evans and City Council Members,
I wanted to address with you the reason the P_lanning Commission Meeting held on January 23, 2004 on the new Club at Coral Mountain development proposal was so poorly attended. I have included a copy of the Notice of Public Hearing, that appeared in the Desert Sun.
If you look at what is proposed, you see the following:
1. A General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to modify the land use and zoning maps for lands west of Madison Street to reflect a new layout for the golf course and low-density residential areas of the site, and a reduction in General Commercial/Neighborhood Commercial land at the southwest corner of Avenue 58 and Madison Street.
2. An Amendment to the Andalusia Specific Plan to reflect the changes in golf course, low density residential and commercial lands and modify the design guidelines to allow a Contemporary architectural design rather than the currently approved Spanish architectural design. The currently allowed 750 residential units and the golf course use will not change, while the commercial corner will be reduced to a maximum of 60,000 square feet. These changes affect only lands west of Madison Street. This Amendment will not change anything for lands east of Madison Street.
3. A Tentative Tract Map for financing purposes only to allow the conveyance of 7 lots within the 387± acres located west of Madison Street, north of Avenue 60 and south of Avenue 58.
4. A Development Agreement to establish the responsibilities of the developer in the implementation of this project.
Anyone reading this would say, great, yes they are doing a golf course, and yes they are doing 750 residential units, so basically what it was zoned for, like Andalusia East.
What is missing here which would have sounded an alarm for anyone reading the notice:
1) A potentially 10 plus or minus acre recreational lake, which in their map is a 10 acre golf irrigation lake but they reserve the right to make it recreational. A ten acre recreational lake? One ten acre golf course irrigation lake? 2) That the 2003 Andalusia Specific Plan allows for Short Term Vacation rentals on the property.
Trilogy was carved out of the 2003 Andalusia Specific Plan - but Trilogy did not allow STVRs. Andalusia East did not allow STVRs.
Who reading this public notice would think they were asking for up to 750 STVRs and not up to 750 residential units.
NO ONE.
