DISCUSSION: As reflected in the Planning Commission minutes , a Development Plan allowing 22 units was also approved by the Commission.

The major issue concerning the original plan and map was whether enough area had been provided to accommodate the necessary perimeter treatment (wind/blowsand protection, and Portola Avenue parkway/easement) in relation to the proposed lots and unit locations. With certain detail adjustments, the revised site plan would appear to provide for a minimum wind/blowsand design situation. A 20' pedestrian access easement has also now been illustrated on Portola Avenue. Special Conditions address these two subjects. B. Site Access - Two entrances are proposed to the project (serving the northern and southern half) , one from Hovley Lane and the other off Portola Avenue. C. Site Design = The proposed duplex buildings are arranged around two court areas; 10 dwellings in the northern court, and 12 dwellings in the southern court. The total of number of minimum required guest parking bays has been illustrated on the Development Plan. D. Recreational Amenities - The amenities provided appear ,j acceptable for the scale of the project. E. Architectural Approach - An illustration has been provided of a view into the project but it is highly conceptual . F. Tract Map Considerations - The filing of a Tract Map is considered premature until the conceptual plan require- ments are established, and then, the Design Review process is completed. The subject map should be revised to reflect Development Plan considerations and ultimately any Design Review actions if it is to be approved. STAFF REPORT C DP 11-79 and TT 14998 _ Page Four IV.

The plan reflects this objective with the ten- nis court and swimming pool area placed in a central lo- cation offering ease in pedestrian access for residents . Additionally, the residential units are clustered around two separate courtyards providing a private atmosphere and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the units themselves . The overall aesthetices of the project are even further enhanced by the enriched paving of the courtyards and the generous use of trees and vegetation .

Another area of clarifica- tion should be in the commercial connection charges where presently the cost is $15. 00 per outlet and the proposed f1i increase would be $25 . 00 , a 66% increase . Mayor Mullins declared the Public Hearing open and invited input in FAVOR of the request . MR. JOE BENES, Manager of Coachella Valley Television, addressed Council introducing two associates , Mr . Wayne Blick, Vice President of Palmer Broadcasting , and Mr . Bob Englehart , Vice President in Charge of Engineering. Mr. Benes stated that they were seeking the first rate increase in over 15 years of operation. He reviewed their operating costs , stating that in order to provide better service to an ever-growing area, it was most necessary to increase the cost of the service. He presented a "Clarifications of Proposed Rate Schedule" (attached and made a part of these minutes as Exhibit "A") which answered Mr. Ortega' s concerns . Mr. Benes addressed the problem relative to service by his company and stated that he felt that since they now had qualified personnel , service would not be a problem. However, it had been difficult and had taken time to employ people qualified to perform in this particular business . He emphasized that they had a 24-hour trouble-shooter line where people could call in to report problems and this line would be kept in' operation. Mayor Mullins invited input in OPPOSITION to the rate increase , and none was offered. He declared the Public Hearing closed. Councilman Brush stated that he had had a change of feeling on this matter since its original discussion. He had felt that any company that had a monopoly on business should be treated like a public utility and open their books and explain those increases . However , after looking into it , there may be other things that could come in that could. make a company like this obsolete. Councilman McPherson moved and Councilman Brush seconded to accept the new Rate Schedule as submitted by Coachella Valley Tele- vision, to be effective January 1 , 1980 . Motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Crump presented this case noting that this case was a continued item and updated staff reports were provided for the Commission. He stated that the revision was to increase the number of lots. He also noted that Staff revised Special Condition No. 7, to read: "The map shall provide for 50% of the net site area (approx. 1.96 acres) to be held in common for open space purposes, this may be accomplished by means of an easement." Commissioner Kryder was concerned for the access on to Hovley Lane asking if this would be safe. Mr. Crump explained how the access would be developed. Commissioner Kryder then asked if the access on Portola was necessary. He believed this would create a traffic hazard. After a short discussion on this matter Mr. Williams stated that this opening would represent 3 permanent openings between Hovley Lane and the Wash. Chairman Snyder expressed a great concern for the number of lots, and asked why the open space and recreation amenities were divided up into individual lots. RAY HOWARD, Ballew-McFarland, stated that this was done by the engineering firm and was unaware of why they did it that way. Commissioner Berkey asked if the City Attorney would review the C.C. & R.

" Commissioner Berkey pointed out that in Standard Condition No. 3 of the Conditions of Approval should be changed. This was modified to read: "Construction of the total development shall be done in one (1) phase.

DISCUSSION: As reflected in the Planning Commission minutes , a Development Plan allowing 22 units was also approved by the Commission. While there was no audience participation, the Commission did modify one stand- ard condition.

" After a short discussion regarding access to Portola Avenue, the Commission unanimously approved this request for a Tentative Tract Map.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The Director of Environmental Services has determined that the proposed project will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment and a Negative Declaration has been prepared. D. MAJOR TRACT IMPROVEMENTS: (Requirements) Adjacent half street improvements as follows: Hovley Lane - dedication and improvement of 44 ft. half street, with 32 ft. wide travel lane, and 12 ft. parkway (no sidewalk) , ornamental landscaping and boundary wall . Hovley Lane is to be regraded, per the requirements of the Director of Public Works. Portola Avenue - dedication and improvement of 50 ft. half street, with 6 ft.

UNIT DESCRIPTION 2 single story units in 11 duples buildings; each containing two bedrooms, and ranging in size from 1,100 to 1,600 sq. ft. III. DISCUSSION: A. The major issue concerning the original plan and map was whether enough area had been provided to accommodate the necessary perimeter treatment . (wind/blowsand protection, and Portola Avenue parkway/easement) in relation to the proposed lots and unit locations. With certain detail adjustments, the revised site plan would appear to provide for a minimum wind/blowsand design situation. A 20' pedestrian access easement has also now been illustrated on Portola Avenue. Special Conditions address these two subjects. B.

UNIT DESCRIPTION j 2 single story units in 11 duples buildings; each �+ containing two bedrooms, and ranging in size from 1,100 to 1,600 sq. ft. III. DISCUSSION: A. The major issue concerning the original plan and map was whether enough area had been provided to accommodate the necessary perimeter treatment . (wind/blowsand protection, and Portola Avenue parkway/easement) in relation to the proposed lots and unit locations. With certain. detail adjustments, the revised site plan would appear to provide for a minimum wind/blowsand design situation. A 20' pedestrian access easement has also now been illustrated on Portola Avenue. Special Conditions address these two subjects. B. Site Access - Two entrances are proposed to the project (serving the northern and southern half) , one from Hovl.ey Lane and the other off Portola Avenue. C. Site Design = The proposed duplex buildings are arranged around two court areas; 10 dwellings in the northern court, and 12 dwellings in the southern court. The total of number of minimum required guest parking bays has been illustrated on the Development Plan. D. Recreational Amenities - The amenities provided appear acceptable for the scale of the project. E. Architectural Approach - An illustration has been provided of a view into the project but it is highly conceptual . F. Tract Map Considerations - The filing of a Tract Map is. considered premature until the conceptual plan require- ments are established, and then, the Design Review process is completed.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The Director of Environmental Services has determined that the proposed project will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment and a Negative Declaration has been prepared. D. MAJOR TRACT IMPROVEMENTS: (Requirements), Adjacent half street improvements as follows: Hovley Lane - dedication and improvement of 44 ft. half street, with 32 ft. wide travel lane, and 12 ft. parkway (no sidewalk) , ornamental landscaping and boundary wall . Hovley Lane is to be regraded, per the requirements of the Director of Public Works. Portola Avenue - dedication and improvement of 50 ft. half street, with 6 ft.

J. .RECREATION AMENITIES: 1 Swimming Pool , with shade structure 1 Tennis Court I STAFF REPORT DP 11-79 and TT 14998 Page Three II . (continued) K. UNIT DESCRIPTION 2 single story units in 11 duples buildings; each containing two bedrooms, and ranging in size from 1,100 to 1,600 sq. ft. III. DISCUSSION: A. The major issue concerning the original plan and map was whether enough area had been provided to accommodate the necessary perimeter treatment . (wind/blowsand protection, and Portola Avenue parkway/easement) in relation to the proposed lots and unit locations. With certain detail adjustments, the revised site plan would appear to provide for a minimum wind/blowsand design situation. A 20' pedestrian access easement has also now been illustrated on Portola Avenue. Special Conditions address these two subjects. B. Site Access - Two entrances are proposed to the project (serving the northern and southern half) , one from Hovl.ey Lane and the other off Portola Avenue. C. Site Design = The proposed duplex buildings are arranged around two court areas; 10 dwellings in the northern court, and 12 dwellings in the southern court. The total of number of minimum required guest parking bays has been illustrated on the Development Plan. D. Recreational Amenities - The amenities provided appear acceptable for the scale of the project. E. Architectural Approach - An illustration has been provided of a view into the project but it is highly conceptual . F. Tract Map Considerations - The filing of a Tract Map is considered premature until the conceptual plan require- ments are established, and then, the Design Review process is completed. The subject map should be revised to reflect Development Plan considerations and ultimately any Design Review actions if it is to be approved. STAFF REPORT DP 11-79 and TT 14998 Page Four IV.

Suggestion was made that the number of pools be increased to a ratio of 1 per every 35 units. Suggestion was also made that maybe the location of the maintenance facility be reviewed, that there may be a better location.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The Director of Environmental Services has determined that the proposed project will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment and a Negative Declaration has been prepared. D. MAJOR TRACT IMPROVEMENTS: (Requirements) Adjacent half street improvements as follows: Hovley Lane - dedication and improvement of 44 ft. half street, with 32 ft. wide travel lane, and 12 ft. parkway (no sidewalk) , ornamental landscaping and boundary wall . Hovley Lane is to be regraded, per the requirements of the Director of Public Works. Portola Avenue - dedication and improvement of 50 ft. half street, with *6 ft. (one half of 12 ft. ) raised median (ultimate) , 32 ft. wide travel lane, 12 ft. public parkway and 20 ft. public access easement adjacent to parkway improved with 8 ft. wide meandaring pedestrian/ bike path, ornamental landscaping and 6 ft. high tract boundary wall .

PARKING ANALYSIS: Required - min. 44 covered spaces, and .11 open bays. Proposed - 44 garage spaces, and 11 bays (9 shown on Tract Map) . J. RECREATION AMENITIES: 1 Swimming Pool , with shade structure 1 Tennis Court STAFF REPORT Page Three DP 11-79 and TT 14998 II. (cont. ) K. UNIT DESCRIPTION: 22 single story units in 11 duplex buildings; each containing two bedrooms, and ranging in size from 1,100 to 1,600 sq. ft. III. DISCUSSION: A. The major issue concerning the proposed plan and map is having enough area to accommodate the necessary perimeter treatment (wind/blowsand protection, and Portola Avenue parkway/easement) along with the proposed lots and units. 1. Wind/Blowsand Protection Planting - an acceptable alternative had not been sub- mitted by the applicant to justify the proposed setback from the west property line. It has, therefore, not been de- termined whether an adequate area is provided. In any event, the protection planting area should be under common ownership, rather than a part of a private lot. In this regard, it is observed that several proposed lots encroach into what would be the protection planting area on the north and west boundaries. 2. Portola Avenue Design - The design approach for Portola Avenue includes an 8 ft. wide meandaring pedestrian/bike path along the west side of the Avenue. To accomplish this, a 20 ft. wide easement is required adjacent to the public parkway. Proposed private lots (and possibly corners of dwelling unit patios) extend into this area. B. Site Access - Two entrances are proposed to the project (serving the northern and southern half) , one from Hovley Lane and the other off Portola Avenue. C. Site Design - The proposed duplex buildings are arranged around two court areas; 10 dwellings in the northern court, and 12 dwellings in the southern court. The total of number of minimum required guest parking bays has been . illustrated on the Development Plan, but they are not proportionally distributed,and open 20 ft. driveway apron space has not been provided for each unit as an alternative. D. Recreational. Amenities - The amenities provided appear acceptable for the scale of the project. E. Architectural Approach - An illustration has been provided of a view into the project but it is highly conceptual . F. Tract Map Considerations - While the filing of a Tract Map can not be precluded, it is considered premature until (in this specific instance) the conceptual plan requirements are established, and then, the Design Review process is completed. The subject map should be revised to reflect Development Plan considerations and ultimately any Design Review actions if it is to be approved. STAFF REPORT Page Four , DP 11-79 and TT 14998 IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Realizing that there could be minor, and also major, adjustments to the Development Plan and Tract Map, several options appear available for Planning Commission action: A. With the concurrence of the applicant, continue both applications to a specified meeting to allow: (a) the exhibits to be redrawn; and (b) an alternative scheme for wind/blowsand protection to be ,brought before the Design Review Board. B. Approve a preliminary Development Plan for 22 dwelling units, forwarding it to the Design Review stage to re- solve the outstanding issues; and, deny the Tract Map. .C. Approve both applications, with appropriate conditions, directing a .redrafting of exhibits to correspond to the Design Review action. In this instance, draft Resolutions have been provided.

The plan reflects this objective with the ten- nis court and swimming pool area placed in a central lo- cation offering ease in pedestrian access for residents : Additionally, the residential units are clustered around two separate courtyards. providing a private atmosphere . and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the units themselves . The overall aesthetices of the project are even further enhanced by the enriched paving of the courtyards and the generous use of trees and vegetation.
