Identifier: 773043027 Date Constructed: 1938
UTM Zone: 11S, 563397 mE; 3726253 mN
Neighborhood: Yucatan Peninsula ( The Cove)
Tract: Santa Carmelita Unit No 4; Recorded May 31, 1934, MB 18/ 62 Owner and Address: Lemborn- Lindemann Trust, Robert A. Lindemann; 51495 Avenida Diaz, La Quinta CA 92253 Updated Description: The 51495 Avenida Diaz residence was constructed in 1938 in the Yucatan Peninsula neighborhood, a small portion of the La Quinta Cove along the northwest boundary of the region. The residence was constructed in the Spanish CoIonial Revival style with an " L" shaped plan. The building has a shed roof clad in red tiles, and the exterior is clad in stucco. The residence was partially obscured by a stucco clad privacy wall that has been constructed around the property since the prior survey. It appears that an attached garage was constructed in the early 2000s following the 1996- 97 survey. The garage is attached with at the southwest corner of the property, with a flat roof and a stucco exterior. The garage addition is a feature that is considered reversible and, if removed, would not affect the overall essential form or integrity of the original dwelling. ` Updated Significance: This dwelling is a contributor to the La Quinta Cove Thematic Historic District which is considered eligible under Local Criterion B (events) for its association with the Residential Development theme. The Cove district is also considered eligible under Local Register Criterion A (special element) as the first residential subdivision within the boundaries of the city constructed with Spanish Revival style homes and eligible under Local Register Criterion E as a geographically definable area possessing a concentration of buildings, structures, and improvements linked historically. The dwelling retains integrity from the 1935 to 1950 period of significance for the Cove. Because the district is not formally designated, it is assigned a 5D2 status code:
Contributor to a multi- component resource that is eligible for local listing or designation.
The dwelling has not been found individually eligible under NRHP/ CRHR/ Local Criterion A/1/B, as it has not been associated with significant events or patterns of events in local, regional, state, or national history; not individually eligible under Criterion B/2/B, as it has not been identified as having an association with an important person; not individually eligible under Criterion C/3/C, as it does not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction; and not individually eligible under Criterion D/4/D, as further study of the dwelling would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state, or national history. Additionally, the property was not found to be individually eligible under Local Register Criterion A, as it was not found to exemplify a special element of the City of La Quinta. As the dwelling has not been substantially altered, this dwelling maintains integrity from the historic period.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
STAFF REPORT
TO: Madam Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Monika Radeva, City Clerk
DATE: April 15, 2025
SUBJECT: UPDATE ON RESOLUTION NO. 2025-001 AUTHORIZING TEMPORARY
CONDITIONS RELATED TO THE SHORT-TERM VACATION RENTAL PROGRAM TO
HELP AID AND SHELTER PERSONS NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY THE FIRES
PROCLAIMED AS A STATE OF EMERGENCY IN LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA
COUNTIES
On January 7, 2025, the Governor of California proclaimed a State of Emergency to exist in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties due to the Palisades Fire which ignited that day in Los Angeles County, quickly burning over 1,200 acres. High winds, low humidity, and dry conditions increased the intensity and spread of the Palisades Fire, causing imminent threat to life with Red Flag warnings in effect in both counties, which also caused multiple fires, including the Palisades, Eaton, Hurst, Lidia, Sunset, and Woodley Fires.
On January 21, 2025, Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-001, included as Attachment 1, which authorized the City Manager to issue conditions, applicable temporarily for a 90-day period, on the use of any short-term vacation rental (STVR) unit in furtherance of aiding and housing persons negatively affected by the fires in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.
Staff, in coordination with the City Attorney’s Office, prepared a list of temporary conditions, that could be deployed upon request, however, the City never received any requests for allowances beyond the STVR program regulations pursuant to Chapter 3.25 of the La Quinta Municipal Code.
Resolution No. 2025-001 shall sunset effective April 20, 2025, pursuant to Section 4, which also requires that an update be provided to Council on whether there is a need for temporary conditions related to STVR units’ operations to continue. As the City has received no inquiries as of this writing and there have been no temporary conditions deployed since the resolution was adopted, staff recommends letting the resolution sunset on its own terms.
