Study and Report : Referral from the City Council concerning the request from Ridgewood Development , Inc . for approval of a Change of Zone and Tentative Tract Map. Mr. Crump related the Staff Report to the Commission , noting that a letter was presented to the City Council from Ridgewood 'immediately prior to their March 8, 1979 meeting. The letter expressed the applicant ' s interest in proceeding with the Change of Zone, but requested the Tentative Tract Map be withdrawn. It was determined that since the Commission recommendation for the Change of Zone was based on a specific development scheme, it would be appropriate to refer the matter back to the Commission for input before acting on the zoning request alone. The Council is seeking a report back from the Commission to ascertain whether their position on the matter has changed in light of the Tentative Tract Map withdrawal. He then cited that Staff recommendation was to recommend approval to the City Council of a Modified Change of Zone from O. S. to PR-4 zone for that portion of the O. S. zone lying northerly of the present estab- lished right-of-way alignment for Hovely Lane, east of Portola, by minute motion, and direct Staff to forward this report of the Commission ' s action to the Council. Commissioner Kryder asked if this was the usual procedure; doesn' t the Commission generally set a zone change only with a development plan. Mr. Crump answered that a zone change does require a develop- ment plan to accompany it , unless it is initiated by the City. CCommissioner Kryder then asked why the applicant wishes to r pursue the change of zone, lacking a development plan . l Mr. Crump answered that this was essentially the point of Staff ' s recommendation limiting the action to clear up the residual piece of Open Space zoning. On a motion by Commissioner Fleshman, seconded by Commissioner Berkey, the Planning Commission recommended approval to the City Council by Minute Motion of said Modified Change of Zone, and directed Staff to forward this report of the Commission ' s action to the City Council; carried unanimously (4-0) . IX. NEW BUSINESS A. Consideration for City In' n of Pre-Annexation Zoning for City Annexation ArzT No. 10. Commissioner Fleshman stated that he would have a conflict of interest , so would excuse himself from voting on this matter . Mr. Crump presented a report to the Commission , noting that the 'draft ' resolution requested initiation of a Change of Zone from IS' (Study) to RM (U.A. ) (Mobile Home Park and Mobile Home Subdivision Residential District, Upon •Annexation) , or any other -zone deemed appropriate. - Chairman Snyder noted that it seems an appropriate zone for this area. On a motion by Commissioner Kryder, seconded by Commissioner Berkey, Planning Commission Resolution No. 471 was approved as presented; carried 3-0-1 (AYES : Berkey, Kryder, Snyder; ABSTAIN: Fleshman) .

CiTYPENGINEEA ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT CITY OF PALM DESERT 1- - 6 -A DATAPRIMT N41420 NOTES IN PREPARATION FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CITY ANNEXATION NO. 6 TO BE CONSIDERED BY LAFCO ON MARCH 8 , 1979, AT 9: 00 A.M. 1. All the property owners within the boundaries of this annexation have filed petitions in favor of the annexation. 2 . Said property is within the City' s Sphere of Influence. Said property has been pre-zoned with approximately 72 acres designa- ted as Service Industrial , and 115 acres designated as PR-5. Development plans have been approved for a total of 540 dwelling units in the PR zone districts and subdivision maps have been approved on 64 of the acres zoned Service Industrial . All of these projects are awaiting annexation to be completed. 3. The incorporation of this property into the City of Palm Desert would be a logical extension of the City' s boundary. The average density of the residential area is 4. 6 dwelling units per acre (versus the County General Plan which would allow maximum of 3. 0-3. 9 d.u. /acre) . The General Plan designation in the City of Palm Desert for the residential area is 5-7 d.u. /acre. The proposed residential development plan is less than the General Plan designation in the City. The industrial designation is in conformance with the City ' s General Plan. 4. Service capability (Response to County Planning Department) . For the development contemplated, the provision of services would naturally need to be increased. With the inclusion of this property into the City of Palm Desert , the residents and property owners would have available to them a greater level of police, planning, building, code enforcement , parks and recreation, and fire. services. The last three will be pro- vided by the City at a higher level of service, in that the City is proposing to develop a new fire station to the north of said property and the development of a major 120-acre park site westerly of said property. Said services at this level are not .provided within the County' s jurisdiction. Further, the City has contracted with a private consultant to complete a Master Drainage Plan for this area including said property which, upon adoption and implementation, will provide for con- templated development in terms of water run-off. Said approach is not presently followed within the County' s jurisdiction. In sum, the service level in the City versus the County is substantially higher. Therefore, the comments made by the County Planning Department relative to service levels simply are not true. The City has received letters from all service districts that will provide service to said area indicating their ability to serve. Therefore, it is clear that the County Planning Department ' s concern with regards to the inability to serve should not be considered. The County Planning Department ' s suggestion that a study be done before this annexation is considered relative to the increase in residential development and its impact upon the area plan covering this area in the County is not valid. An area plan has been done, taking into account the slight increase in density for the residential area. That is known as the City ' s General Plan, which includes a related Environmental Impact Report . Said General Plan and related Environmental Impact Report takes into account incorporation of a large 'number of acres inot the City of Palm Desert , including said property. There- fore, no additional area studies would be necessary in the opinion of the City. The comments relative to the service capability of the City by the County Planning Department seem contrary to the State law which indicates in Section 35,.000 that "the legislature finds and declares that it is the policy of the .State to encourage orderly growth and development, which are essential to the social , fiscal -and economic well-being of the State. The legislature recognizes that the logical formation and determina- tion of city boundaries is an important factor in promoting the orderly development of urban areas . . . Legislature finds and declares that a single governmental agency rather than several limited purpose agencies is better able to assess and be accountable for community service needs and financial re- sources, and, .therefore, is the best mechanism for establishing community service priorities. " The County Planning Department ' s statements seem contrary to this intent . Further , in Section 54774 of the State Government Code, it states, "among the purposes of a local agency formation commission are the discouragement of urban sprawl and the encouragement of orderly formation and development of local governmental agencies based upon local conditions ,and circumstances. The County Planning Department statements seem contrary to this intent . �V -- - -_ - - _ _- --- - - - - -4�� LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CENTER 4080 Lemon Street, 12th Floor Riverside, California 92501 PUBLIC HEARING Thursday, March 8, 1979 9:00 A.

LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CENTER 4080 Lemon Street, 12th Floor Riverside, California 92501 March 2, 1979 TO: Local Agency Formation Commission FROM: Wayne B. Curren, Assistant Executive Officer SUBJECT: LAFCO #78-64-4--Annexation #6 to City of Palm Desert PROPOSAL: This is a proposal to annex 186.33 acres to the City of Palm Desert. SUBMITTED BY: The City of Palm Desert. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS: This proposal has met all requirements of the law. The map and legal description were approved by the County Surveyor on December 4, 1978. The project has complied with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. POPULATION: Population is zero. LAND USE: Existing County zoning is R-1 (Single-family residential ). ASSESSED VALUATION: Assessed value of the land is $90,499. COMMENTS: The City of Palm Desert proposes to annex approximately 186 acres located on the east side of Cook Street and about one-quarter mile north of the Whitewater Channel . The parcel is vacant -- no structures and no population. It is adjacent on the west side to an industrial subdivision. Areas on the other sides are vacant.

All the property owners within the boundaries of this annexation have filed petitions in favor of the annexation. 2. Said property is within the City' s Sphere of Influence. Said property has been pre-zoned with approximately 72 acres designa- ted as Service Industrial , and 115 acres designated as PR-5. Development plans have been approved for a total of 540 dwelling units in the PR zone districts and subdivision maps have been approved on 64 of the acres zoned Service Industrial. All of these projects are awaiting annexation to be completed. 3. The incorporation of this property into the City of Palm Desert would be a logical extension of the City' s boundary. The average density of the residential area is 4. 6 dwelling units per acre (versus the County General Plan which would allow maximum of 3. 0-3. 9 d.u. /acre) . The General Plan designation in the City of Palm Desert for the residential area is 5-7 d.u. /acre. The proposed residential development plan is less than the General Plan designation in the City. The industrial designation is in conformance with the City' s General Plan. 4 . Service capability (Response to County Planning Department) . For the development contemplated, the provision of services would naturally need to be increased. With the inclusion of this property into the City of Palm Desert , the residents and property owners would have available to them a greater level of police, planning, building, code enforcement , parks and recreation, and fire. services. The last three will be pro- vided by the City at a higher level of service, in that the City is proposing to develop a new fire station to the north of said property and the development of a major 120-acre park site westerly of said property. Said services at this level are not .provided within the County' s jurisdiction. Further, the City has contracted with a private consultant to complete a Master Drainage Plan for this area including said property which, upon adoption and implementation, will provide for con- templated development in terms of water run-off. Said approach is not presently followed within the County ' s jurisdiction. In sum, the service level in the City versus the County is substantially higher. Therefore, the comments made by the County Planning Department relative to service levels simply are not true. The City has received letters from all service districts that will provide service to said area indicating their ability to serve. Therefore, it is clear that the County Planning Department ' s concern with regards to the inability to serve should not be considered. The County Planning Department ' s suggestion that a study be done before this annexation is considered relative to the increase in residential development and its impact upon the area plan covering this area in the County is not valid. An area plan has been done, taking into account the slight increase in density for the residential area. That is known as the City' s General Plan, which includes a related Environmental Impact Report. 0 v Said General Plan and related Environmental Impact Report takes into account incorporation of a large 'number of acres inot the City of Palm Desert , including said property. There- fore, no additional area studies would be necessary in the opinion of the City. The comments relative to the service capability of the City by the County Planning Department seem contrary to the State law which indicates in Section 35, 000 that "the legislature finds and declares that it is the policy of the .State to encourage orderly growth and development, which are essential to the social , fiscal -and economic well-being of the State. The legislature recognizes that the logical formation and determina- tion of city boundaries is an important factor in promoting the orderly development of urban areas . . . Legislature finds and declares that a single governmental agency rather than several limited purpose agencies is better able to assess and be accountable for community service needs and financial re- sources, and, therefore, is the best mechanism for establishing community service priorities. " The County Planning Department ' s statements seem contrary to this intent . Further , in Section 54774 of the State Government Code, it states, "among the purposes of a local agency formation commission are the discouragement of urban sprawl and the encouragement of orderly formation and development of local governmental agencies based upon local conditions .and circumstances. The County Planning Department statements seem contrary to this intent .

CITY OF PALM DESERT TRANSMITTAL LETTER TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council SUBJECT: Plans for Services for Palm Desert Annexation No. 6 I. - INTRODUCTION: Pursuant to Section 35102 of the State Government Code, the City is required to file with any new Annexations effective January 1 , 1978, a plan outlining the method by which services will be provided in the area to be annexed. This report represents the required plan for services for Proposed Annexation No. 6. Tfie City of Palm Desert, being a contract City, must rely on many other agencies to provide for services both in the community and areas sub- sequently annexed. In addition, many services provided such as water and sewer, electricity, gas, are provided without regard to city limit lines . Therefore, the area proposed to be annexed is presently served or has the capability of being served by many of. these agencies. The fact is substantiated by the letters received from responsible agencies as a part of the review by responsible agencies during the Environmental Review process. The major emphasis of this report is to address those services provided directly by the City either through City Staff or direct contract with the City by other agencies. In addition, wherever possible, this report will address the methods by which other service agencies would provide needed facilities in the area. II. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES: The utilities which would be extended into the area proposed to be annexed would be as part of actual development and they would consist of the services of the Coachella Valley County Water District in the area of water and sewer; Imperial Irrigation District in the area of electricity; Southern California Gas Company in the area of gas; and Able Cable in the area of cable television. The services provided by this City directly would be in planning and building, public works, parks, administration and code enforcement services. By contract the City would also provide for trash disposal , police and fire services. Public transportation would be provided by the Sunline Agency. The major road improvements would include the widening of Cook Street and Country Club Drive. The ultimate right-of-way for both Cook Street and Country Club Drive would be 110 ft. with both having 88 ft. of pavement. Half- width right-of-way would be reserved along the east side of the area to be annexed which lies in Section 10 to provide for the future extensions of Eldorado Drive. The creation of any local streets would be on the basis of specific projects and would be the responsibility of the developers of the area. Ultimate development of the area to be annexed and adjacent areas which are either in the process of being annexed or will be developed in other govern- mental jurisdictions, will necessitate a bridge crossing at the Cook Street crossing of the Whitewater Stormwater Channel . This facility would be con- structed with a combination of federal grants and local participation very similar to existing bridges in the Valley. Public park needs in the area to be annexed are minimal as the entire area will be developed to include a planned fndustrial park and a planned residential development which will offer residents private recreational amenities. Residents whose recreational needs are not satisfied exclusively by the private recrea- tional amenities of the planned residential development will be able to take advantage of the proposed 120 acre Sand Dune Park to the west of the Subject area. III. LEVEL AND RANGE OF SERVICES: The level and range of services provided would include sufficient sized water and sewer, gas, and electrical facilities to service development proposed for the area. Planning and building, public works , and code enforcement services as provided by the City directly, would be on the basis of need. Police and fire services capability exist to meet the need of the area at its present stage of development and are proposed to be expanded to meet the needs of subsequent development in the area. Public transportation would be provided by the expansion of the existing system to serve the area. Subsequent development will result in the need for the City to add an addi- tional police vehicle and the need for an additional fire station in the vicinity of Country Club Drive. Since fire services are provided for on a volunteer basis in conjunction with the County of Riverside and State Department of Forestry, the City would be required to provide for a facility in the area which would be manned by these agencies. A fire station has been planned for in the City's General Plan in this area and will be provided at the time it is needed. A 1 .5 acre site has been reserved for a fire station and library in the General development plan for the planned residential development being proposed in Sec. 10 of the area to be annexed. In addition, said area will be served by a proposed fire station at 44th Avenue and San Pablo (Civic Center Complex) , which is tentatively proposed for construction in 1980/81 budget year. In the meantime, the area would be served by the existing Palm Desert Station at El Paseo and Highway 74 with backup being provided by the Rancho Mirage, Thousand Palms and Bermuda Dunes stations. The basic administration services of Planning, Building, Public Works, and Code enforcement would be provided by existing City Staff. IV. TIMING FOR SERVICE EXTENSIONS : Basic utility services would occur as a part of development. The City has on file letters from the various utilities assuring us that these services would be available. The City services would be available immediately in the " area of planning, building and code enforcement, public works, and police and fire. Road improvements would occur as a part of new development. The construction of the new fire station near Country Club Drive would result from the City's new construction tax which would be accrued from the new development in the area, which would be. 20¢ per square foot of new construc- tion. ` The proposed residential development contemplated for the area is planned residential which would include the necessary recreational facilities to serve the ultimate residents of the area. V. REQUIREMENTS OF NEW DEVELOPMENT AND FINANCING: New development would be required to improve roads within the area and to provide for needed sites for fire and other related municipal facilities provided through the City's Subdivision Ordinance. The new Construction Tax of 20t per square foot would provide for construction and additional ac- quisition of these facilities. The provision of planning and building services would be provided through the fees generated from new development. On-going maintenance of roads, created in the area, would be provided through State Gas Taxes generated as a result of population within the area. Police services and parks maintenance would be provided on the basis of Sales Tax generated from commercial facilities in the area. In summary, it is felt that develop- ment of this area would result in a balance between needed services and the revenues to provide said services. 2 - CLANCY LANE w 0 w w a z w � o z o ` > N 44 a AVENUE > a W J T 0 w F O O O U � HIGHWAY a III LOCATION MAP w w NOT TO SCALE rc f N COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE 2657.95' 2 I N 89° 4T--- 1 I 1 PROPOSED PALM DESERT CITY LIMIT 3 qq' 1 1 SECTION 10 T-5-S , R-6-E ,S.B.B.M. m = a o a V O O D 0 O PALM DESERT CITY LIMIT z 186.33 ACRES I P.0.8.

Number 'Your aoe�anks tO correspond to the paragraphs on the attached application form. The Planning Department staff recommends that Annexation Area 06 to the City of Palm Desert be denied. 1. Whether the annexation is approved or not, the provision of services for the parcel would be the same. If the land is developed as an unincorporated part of the County, existing county service districts would be expanded to meet future needs. If the parcel is incorporated, the City of Palm Desert would be required to contract with the same county service districts for the required services. Therefore, the service provisions would be the same no matter which jurisdiction controls development on the parcel. 2. This Department has not received copies of the letters from the various service districts, as mentioned in the application. Therefore, we are unable to agree with the assumption that the service districts would be able to meet the needs required by the proposed development and/or future development. 3. The proposal is not in consonance with the County General Plan since the City's request is for 5-7 dwelling units per acre while the existing zoning permits 0-3 dwelling units per acre. 4. The proposed annexation and its subsequent development would increase the population Of the City of Palm Desert and its environs by 10%. The nature of this increase may have long term effects upon County guidelines for development in that area. Before this annexation may be cogsidered, a study should be conducted to determine the impact of the development on existing area plans which reflect upon 'the future of this portion of the Coachella Valley. 5. The City does not provide a valid justification for this proposal. Their only justification is based on attaining a higher level of services, but as the discussion in #1 indicates, this will not be the case. Very truly yours, RIVERSIDE COUNTY PLANNING .DEPARTMENT Patricia N eta; , Plannin Director � _/�%L� PH:sr Fe-err.ersh, Planner II r NOTES IN PREPARATION FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CITY ANNEXATION NO. 6 TO BE CONSIDERED BY LAFCO ON MARCH 8 , 1979, AT 9: 00 A.M. 1 . All the property owners within h boundaries of this annexation t the have filed petitions in favor of the annexation. 2. Said property is within the City ' s Sphere of Influence. Said property has been pre-zoned with approximately 72 acres designa- ted as Service Industrial , and 115 acres designated as PR-5. Development plans have been approved for a total of 540 dwelling units in the PR zone districts and subdivision maps have been approved on 64 of the acres zoned Service Industrial . All of these projects are awaiting annexation to be completed . 3 . The incorporation of this property into the City of Palm Desert would be a logical extension of the City ' s boundary. The average density of the residential area is 4 . 6 dwelling units per acre (versus the County General Plan which would allow maximum of 3. 0-3. 9 d.u. /acre) . The General Plan designation in the City of Palm Desert for the residential area is 5-7 d.u. /acre. The proposed residential development plan is less than the General Plan designation in the City. The industrial designation is in conformance with the City' s General Plan. 4. Service capability (Response to County Planning Department ) . For the development contemplated, the provision of services would naturally need to be increased. With the inclusion of this property into the City of Palm Desert , the residents and property owners would have available to them a greater level of police, planning, building, code enforcement , parks and recreation, and fire. services. The last three will be pro- vided by the City at a higher level of service, in that the City is proposing to develop a new fire station to the north of said property and the development of a major 120-acre park site westerly of said property. Said services at this level are not .provided within the County ' s jurisdiction. Further, the City has contracted with a private consultant to complete a Master Drainage Plan for this area including said property which, upon adoption and implementation, will provide for con- templated development in terms of water run-off . Said approach is not presently followed within the County ' s jurisdiction . In sum, the service level in the City versus the County is substantially higher. Therefore, the comments made by the County Planning Department relative to service levels simply are not true. The City has received letters from all service districts that will provide service to said area indicating their ability to serve. Therefore, it is clear that the County Planning Department ' s concern with regards to the inability to serve should not be considered. The County Planning Department ' s suggestion that a study be done before this annexation is considered relative to the increase in residential development and its impact upon the area plan covering this area in the County is not valid. An area plan has been done, taking into account the slight increase in density for the residential area. That is known as the City' s General Plan, which includes a related Environmental Impact Report . 1 . Said General Plan and related Environmental Impact Report takes into account incorporation of a large number of acres inot the City of Palm Desert , including said property. There- fore, no additional area studies would be necessary in the opinion of the City. The comments relative to the service capability of the City by the County Planning Department seem contrary to the State law which indicates in Section 35, 000 that "the legislature finds and declares that it is the policy of the State to encourage orderly growth and development , which are essential to the social , fiscal and economic well-being of the State. The legislature recognizes that the logical formation and determina- tion of city boundaries is an important factor in promoting the orderly development of urban areas . . . Legislature finds and declares that a single governmental agency rather than several limited purpose agencies is better able to assess and be accountable for community service needs and financial re- sources, and, therefore, is the best mechanism for establishing community service priorities. " The County Planning Department ' s statements seem contrary to this intent . Further , in Section 54774 of the State Government Code, it states, "among the purposes of a local agency formation commission are the discouragement of urban sprawl and the encouragement of orderly formation and development of local governmental agencies based upon local conditions and circumstances. The County Planning Department statements seem contrary to this intent .

STATE LAW The Municipal Organization Act of 1977 , now part of the California Government Code, starting with Section 35000 states: Sec. 35000 - The legislature finds and declares that it is the policy of the state to encourage orderly growth and development, which are essential to the social, fiscal, and economic well-being of the state. The legislature recognizes that the logical formation and determination of city boundaries is an important factor in promoting the orderly development of urban areas. Therefore , the legis- lature further finds and declares that this policy should be effected by the logical formation and expansion of cities. Chapter 6. 6 "Local Agency Formation Commission" - The part of the government code that controls the activities of LAFCO, Section 54774 states : Sec . 54774 - Among the purposes of a local agency forma- tion commission are the discouragement of urban sprawl and the encouragement of the orderly formation and develop- ment of local government agencies based upon local condi- tions and circumstances. Section 54790 that controls the powers and duties of LAFCO states: Sec. 54790 (a) (3) To review and approve or disapprove with or without amendment, wholly, partially or condi- tionally, proposals for the annexation of territory to local agencies; provided that a commission shall not im- pose any conditions that would directly regulate land use or subdivision requirements. Nothing in this subsection, however, shall be construed as prohibiting a commission from requiring, as a condition to annexation, that a city prezone the territory to be annexed; provided that the commission shall not specify how or in what manner the territory shall be prezoned . The mandate to LAFCO is clear . LAFCO must make the following determinations : 1. Is the proposed annexation a logical expansion of the City of Palm Desert? 2 . Does the city have the capacity to provide needed services? If the answers to these two questions are yes, LAFCO is obliged to approve the annexation. The issue of land use is the responsibility of Palm Desert and not LAFCO. -4- II . RESPONSE TO POSITION OF RIVERSIDE COUNTY. #1. Services would be the same if city annexed or area remained in county. The city is planning a major park to the west of the annexa- tion, a school site to the north of the annexation, plus an additional fire station in the general plan for the area. The county has no plans for such facilities. The city' s police and fire protection are contracted from the county, but the city, historically, has contracted a higher level of service than the county has provided on its own. Also, the city is currently studying the possibility of housing its own police and fire departments . The contention that services would be the same if the area is developed as part of the county, as they would be if it was developed as part of the city, has no basis in fact. The California Government Code (Sec . 35000) which controls annexation to local agencies, states that the orderly growth of urban areas, and the logical formation and determination of city boundries is an important factor in promoting the orderly development of urban areas . Therefore, the state has declared that this policy should be effected by the logical formation and expansion of cities. The proposed annexation is clearly a logical expansion of the City of Palm Desert. #2 . The County Planning Department did not receive copies of letters from service districts . The County Planning Department must not have received the complete application, because the letters were submitted . #3 . The proposal is not in consonance with the County General Plan. The Los Cocineros Proposal is in complete consonance with the Palm Desert General Plan. In an annexation situation, whose General Plan should be followed? The state has mandated that each city and county include as part of its general plan, a housing element which makes "adequate provision for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community. " (Title 25 , Chapter 6 , Subchapter 4 , Section 65302 (c) , of the California Administrative Code. ) -5- Relative to the state mandate, Riverside County had adopted a housing element to its general plan which has the following goals : A. To encourage a variety of life styles within the region and within .each of its major geographical sub-units . B. To encourage the development of housing programs which will provide all segments of the population with the opportunity to obtain decent housing and a suitable living environment within each of the region ' s major geographical sub-units. C. To encourage housing opportunities in proximity to jobs and daily activities. The Palm Desert General Plan and the Regional Housing Assistance Plan prepared by the Coachella Valley Association of Governments and adopted as official policy fo the county by the Board of Supervisors, also makes a commitment to affordable housing. Everyone is in favor of affordable housing . Annexation #6 is the first proposal of affordable, unsubsidized family housing to be proposed for the City of Palm Desert in the city' s ex- istence. The city is in favor of the proposal , and yet, the county has declared that is is against the proposal because the density is too high and is not in consonance with the general plan. The county has stated in the housing element of the general plan that the trend toward increasing lot size is one of the factors that is pushing housing out of the reach o middle in- come families. The federal government did a study on the cost of low density development and found that as density goes down: 1. per unit cost of land goes up; 2 . per unit cost of development goes up; 3 . per unit cost of transportation and utilities goes up; and 4 . per unit cost of public facilities and services go up. The increase in cost in just land and off site improvements for this project if the density was changed from the low density 5DU ' s/AC to the county' s very low density of 3DU ' s/AC would add a cost of $6 , 000 minimum per unit, and when all the other vari- ables are considered , the increase in price per unit would be about $40, 000. As of February 15 , 1979 , in the Palm Desert market area, from Bermuda Dunes to Cathedral City, only 2 units on the market were priced less than $50 , 000 , only 193 units or 27 percent of the market were under $90, 000 , with the average price for a home or condominium in the market area being $147 , 600 . There is no question that there is a critical shortage of affordable housing in the Palm Desert market area . 1Real Estate Research Corporation. "The Costs of Sprawl . " 1974 -6- Riverside County has officially committed itself to the develop- ment of affordable housing in all market areas of the county, but the county' s land use element of the General Plan for the Palm Desert market area shows very low density estates as the only residential uses on the areas under county jurisdiction. The problem is that the County Housing Element to the General Plan is not in consonance with the Land Use Element of that same General Plan. The general plan calls for affordable housing, but has not provided a place to put it. Considering the almost total lack of affordable housing in the Palm Desert market area, annex- ation #6 is exactly the type of development the housing element of the county' s general plan calls for. To make the statement that annexation #6 is not in consonance with the county' s general plan is not true. It has been shown quite clearly that it is. The problem lies in the fact that the county' s general plan is not in consonance with itself, an that is the problem of the county, and not of Los Cocineros, Ltd . #4 . The proposed annexation and its subsequent development would in- crease the population of the City of Palm Desert and its environs by 10% --- a study should be conducted to determine the impact of the development. The proposed annexation is in consonance with the Palm Desert General Plan. Subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA) amended and the City of Palm Desert En- vironmental Quality Procedure Resolution No. 74-14 , the city has prepared an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the General Plan. Also, the project itself was environmentally assessed under C/Zll-78 , DP13-78 , and PM13406. The Director of Environmental Services of the City of Palm Desert determined that the proposed annexation #6 and proposed subsequent development will not have a significant ad- verse impact on the environment, that a negative declaration should be adopted, and no further documentation is deemed necessary. There are currently in Palm Desert and its environs nearly 8 , 000 new units in the pipeline of which annexation #6 represents only 70 of that total . #5. The city provides no valid justification. Annexation #6 represents a logical expansion of the urban area of Palm Desert. As such it is the policy of the state that such an urban area expansion should become part of the city. As a logi- cal expansion it is the county ' s responsibility to present argu- ments why the area should not be annexed . All the property owners involved in the annexation are in favor of the proposal , and the county has not presented one viable argument why the annexation should not go through. -7- III. REASONS THE PROPERTY OWNERS DESIRE ANNEXATION TO THE CITY OF PALM DESERT. Los Cocineros, Ltd. has studied both the option of remaining in the county and annexing into the City of Palm Desert. Through this study, it was determined that the goals and objectives of Los Concineros can be better met through annexa- tion. Some of the critical factors include: 1 . As noted earlier in this report, the projected level of services will be substantially higher in the city. 2 . The standards of development and developmental controls are, and have been historically, higher in the city. As such, we are more confident that the city will insure the compatability, both in uses and development standards of future neighboring developments, thus insuring the quality of the environment and the security of our investments. -8- I.UCAI.

The Planning Department staff recommends that Annexation Area #6 to the City of Palm Desert be denied. 1. Whether the annexation is approved or not, the provision of services for the parcel would be the same. If the land is developed as an unincorporated part of the County, existing county service districts would be expanded to meet future needs. If the parcel is incorporated, the City of Palm Desert would be required to contract with the same county service districts for the required services. Therefore, the service provisions would be the same no matter which jurisdiction controls development on the parcel. 2. This Department has not received copies of the letters from the various service districts, as mentioned in the application. Therefore, we are unable to agree with the assumption Lhat the service districts would be able to meet the needs required by the proposed development and/or future develonment. 3. The proposal is not in consonance with the County General Plan since the City's request is for 5-7 dwelling units per acre while the existing zoning permits 0-3 dwelling units per acre. 4. The proposed annexation and its subsegncnt development would increase the population of the City of Palm Dcsvrt and its environs by 107. The nature of this increase may have long term effects upon County guidelines for development in that area. Before this annexation may be c.ogsidc-n•d, a study should be conducted to determine the impact of the development on existing area plans which reflect upon 'the future of this portion of the Coachr] ]a \'alley. 5. The City does not provide a vailid justification for this proposal . Their only justification is based on attaining a higher level of services, but as the discussion in #1 indicates, this will not be the case. l'ery truly yours, IMIERSIDE COUNTY PLA1;`7ING DEPARTMENT Patricia.

SUBMIT1ED BY: The City of Palm Desert. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS: This proposal has met all requirements of the law. The map and legal description were approved by the County Surveyor on December 4, 1978. The project has co:aplied with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. POPULATION: Population is zero. LAND USE: Existing County zoning is P,-1 (Single-family residential ) . ASSESSED VALUATION: Assessed value of the land is $90,499. COMiMENTS: The City of Palm Desert proposes to annex approximately 186 acres located on the east side of Cook Street and about one-quarter mile north of the ldhitewater Channel . The parcel is vacant -- no structures and no population. It is adjacent on the west side to an industrial subdivision. Areas on the other sides are vacant. The City of Palm Desert states that the purpose of the annexation is to provide a higher level of services to a proposed develop;-.2nt than would be provided if the area were to be developed in the County. The City' s plan for provision of services is attached. The City also states that services will be paid for by state subven- tions , sales tar., and new construction tax. -10- LAFCO 78-64-4 March 2, 1979 Page 2 Proposed development is a mix of residential and light industrial . The residential area will contain dwelling units in the mcderate price range (reportedly approxima- ting $50,000) and will include recreational amenitites. While the proposed develop- ment is not in consonance with the County' s General Plan, the City states that it does agree with Palm Desert' s General Plan for the area.

Date Filed with County Clerk (within five days) Sept. 8, 1978 Date Public Notice Is Posted: Sept. 8, 1978 -- cc: Applicant Date Appeal Period Expires: County Clerk File Sew 17 1978 Bulletin Board Said General Plan and related Environmental Impact Report takes into account incorporation of a large number of acres into the City of Palm Desert including said property. There- fore, no additional area studies would be necessary in the opinion of the City. The comments relative to the service capability of the City by the County Planning Department seem contrary to the State law which indicates in Section 35, 000 that�' the legislature finds and declares that it is the policy of the State to encourage orderly growth and development , which are essential to the social , fiscal and economic well-being of the State. The legislature recognizes that the logical formation and deter- mination of city boundaries is an important factor in promoting the orderly development of urban areas . . . Legislature finds and declares that a single governmental agency rather than several limited purpose agencies is better able to assess and be acountable for community service needs and financial resources, and therefore, is the best mechanism for establishing community service priorities:"" The County Planning Dept ' s statements seem contrary to this intent . Further in Section HXXXXX 54774 of the State Government Code, it states "among the purposes of a local agency formation commission are the discouragement of urban sprawl and the encouragement of orderly formation and development of local governmental agencies based upon local conditions and circumstances. The County Planning Dept . statements seem contrary to this intent . 1. All the property owners within the boundaries of this annexation have filed petitions in favor of the annexation.
