Planning Director County of Riverside -County Courthouse Riverside, CA Re: Case No. LAFC 77(51-4 (P.D. Annex #4) Dear Mr. White, It has been brought to my attention that your office is processing Case No. LAFC 77-51-4 as if it were a new application being considered by your office under the provisions of B. of S. Resolution No. 777133. Therefore, _ all the time limits specified in said Resolution would apply. I do find that the following facts lead me to believe that, for whatever reason, this project is being needlessly held up by your office: 1 . LAFCO is not a County officer or body (Sec. 102) , therefore Resolution 77-133 does not apply to this project. 2. LAFCO is in reality a state agency of which your office is simply a member of its advisory staff, therefore in this instance Resolution 77-133 does not apply. 3. The Planning Commission of the County of Riverside certified an EIR (#8(a) ) in 1972 on the property in question, pursuant to Section 1.5070(b) of the California Administative Code, this exempt project is t as deter- mined P mined by the lead agency (City of Palm Desert). LAFCO (not the Planning Dept. of the County of Riverside) must now determine whether the simple of annexation to the City has any significant effect on the environment. 4. Pursuant to the letter from your prede.ssor, A. G. Newcomb dated July 6, 1977, the project in question has been initiated, therefore it seems a little late to reconsider the environmental ramifications of the project. Based upon all these facts, I must seriously question the needless processing delay attributed totally to your office on such a simple matter. Normally, I would simply overlook such a situation and attribute it to a lack of co- ordination within your department. However, this is the second consecutive annexation request that has been needlessly held up by your office (see LAFC #76-304) . _ I 2 Since this project has previ-ously had an EIR done on it and since annexations are not subject to the provisions of Resolution 77-133, I respectfully request that you forward an exemption notice to LAFCO as soon as possible. _ If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. ruly yours, Paul A.

I CC,'2�5 sE2d'TS^ The terrain of the area proposed for annexation is relatively level, sloping gently to the &rhitewater Channej, which is adjacent on the south side. The area is contiguous to the Palm icaert nortFhera city limits and also conticvoua to the rr�,ncho Mirage eastern :cty limits. Monterey Avenue separates the two cities at this point-. No public roams traverse the property, but a private road (Fan ex- tension of Clancy Lana) entors the area from Monterey Avenue. The acreage is covered with many tress of several varieties, including olive, citrus, and date palms. Only two dwelling units are now located on the 240 acres. The area consists of 46 parcels. but the Assessor' s records show ownership of all parcels with. one exceptions to be vested in the Consolidated Land Xnve:stment Corapany of Rancho .Mirage and Palm Springs, The Consolidated idated Lo nd lnvest.uent Ccsprray is a proponent of annexation.

Chapter 1253 (AB 1533) repeals the present provisions of the Government Code relating to incorporation, disincorporution, annexation, deannexatioti, and consolidation of cities and enacts the Municipal Organization Act. The Legislature declared 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 and that a single governmental agency, rather than several linnited purpose agencies. is better able to assess and be accountable for community service needs and financial resources and, therefore, is the best mechanism for establishing conununity service priorities. Preliminary proceedings for annexations may be initiated by proposals made by petition or by resolution of application of the City Council and filed with the executive officer of the Local Agency Formation Commission. If by petition, it shall be signed either: (a) By not less than 5 percent of the number of registered voters residing within the territory proposed to be annexed or (b) By not less than 5 percent of the number of owners of land within the territory pro- posed to be annexed who also own 5 percent of the assessed value of land within such territory. Signatures to petitions shall be secured within six months of the date on which the first signature was affixed and submitted to the executive officer for filing within 60 clays after the last signature was affixed. Within 30 days after the date of filing a petition, the executive officer of the commission shall cause the Petition to be examined and shall issue a certificate of sufficiency indicating whether it is signed by the requisite numberof signers. if insufficient, a supplemental petition ' may be filed within I5 days.

If the City Council initiates proceedings by adopting a resolution of application, the City Clerk shall file a certified copy with the executive officer of the commission. The executive officer shall set the proposal for hearing which shall be not more than 90 days after his "certificate of filing." At the hearing the commission shall hear and receive any oral or written protests.. objections or evidence which shall be made, presented or filed and consider the report of the executive officerand the plan for providing municipal services to the territory. The hearing may be. continued from time to time but not to exceed 70 ( clays. Al any time not later than 35 days after the conclusion of the hearing, the commission shall adopt a resolution making determinations approving or clisapproving the proposal. 30. a R r If the proposal is approved by the commission, the City Council, not later than 35 days after the date of adoption of the commissions resolution, shall adopt a resolution initiating proceeding. The resolution shall fix a time, date and place of hearing which sltall be not less than 30 nor more than 45 days from adoption. At any time prior to conclusion of the hearing, any owner of land or any registered voter within inhabited territory proposed to be annexed, or any owner of land within uninhabited territory proposed to be annexed, may file a written protest against the annexation. At the hearing, the City Council shall hear and receive any oral or written protests, objections, or evidence which shall be made, presented or filed. Upon conclusion of the �1 hearing, the Council shall determine the value of written protests filed and not withdrawn. i � .� When the territory proposed to be annexed is inhabited (12 or more registered voters) the City Council, not less than 30 days after conclusion of the hearing, shall adopt a resolution making a finding regarding the value of written protests filed and not withdrawn and taking one of the following actions: (a) Terminate proceedings if written protests have been filed and not withdrawn by 50 percent or more of the registered voters within the affected territory. (b) Order the territory annexed subject to the confirmation by the voters on the question, and call a special election and submit to the.voters residing within the affected territory the question of whether it shall be annexed to the city, if written protests have been filed and not withdrawn by either 25 percent or more of the registered voters within the territory, or owners of land, who also own not less than 25 percent of the total assessed value of land within the territory. a, (c) Order the territory annexed without an election if written protests have been filed and not withdrawn by less than 25 percent of the registered voters within the territory and less than 25 percent of the owners of land who own less than 25 percent of the total assessed value of land within the territory. When the territory proposed to be annexed is uninhabited, the City Council not less than a' 30 days after conclusion of the hearing on protests, shall adopt a resolution making a finding regarding the value of written protests filed and not withdrawn and taking one of the following actions: (a) Terminate proceedings if written protests have been filed and not withdrawn by the owners of land and improvements who own not less than 50 percent of the total assessed value of land and improvements within the territory.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM City of Palm Desert TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: MARTIN J. BOUMAN, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: "DESERT SQUIRE" ANNEXATION DATE: October 13, 1977 The Desert Squire CountryClub is the latest development project of the P P J Sunrise Corporation and occupies an L shaped parcel of about 250 acres lying immediately north of the Whitewater Channel and east of Monterey, with the project centered in a north/south direction on Clancy Lane. The Staff has had several conferences with Mr. Bone and Mr. Conlon of the Sunrise Corpora- tion and was a little surprised that the project was ready for processing through the County of Riverside. Mr. Kap Homme , who had previously master- planned the area, is joint-venturing with Sunrise. The Desert Squire development is of tremendous importance to the City of Palm Desert, and there is good reason to believe that the initial phase consisting of approximately 250 acres and 750 units will constitute only about 1/3 of the total utilmate development. The 2/3 of the project that is presently vague consists of what is commonly known as the Morris property south of the Whitewater Channel and the Weiner property lying north of the Whitewater Channel and west of Portola. The total project could thus be about 650 acres and 2,000 units, making it the largest housing development ever to be undertaken in the Coachella Valley. There are many important reasons why we should actively pursue annexation of this project prior to its physical implementation. As the Council is aware, the entire area falls within the City's Sphere of Influence and thus logically becomes the first annexation to the north in that Sphere. If it does not come into the City, we may well be forever blocked from future northerly annexation, especially when we view Rancho Mirage' s agressive annexation policy, and Indian Wells' attempts to establish a Sphere of Influence with a boundary as far west as Cook Street. The Sunrise Corporation proposes a quality development of low density which the City would find desirable. Mr. Bone and Mr. Conlon are anxious to cooperate with the City since they feel that there would be mutual advantages to having their project within the City of Palm Desert. The anticipated Build Excise revenues to the City from the initial phase of the project (map dated December, 1977) is expected to be around $245,000 with building permit fees and plan check fees expected to fall somewhere between $200,000 and $250,000. The Sunrise Corporation has pointed out that if they were to proceed with their development in the County of Riverside, they would not be subject to the Building Excise Tax and thus seek some Continued. . . . . . . . . . . ./ MEMO TO COUNCIL "DESERT SQUIRE" ANNEXATION Page 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------October-13, 1977 concessions from the City for that added expenditure on their project. Such concessions include: (1 ) Waiving of City requirement that they donate a certain amount of property or an in-lieu cash payment for park and recreation purposes. (2) Relief from any requirement to widen and improve the easterly side of Monterey Avenue. In fact, they feel the City should perform the necessary widening and improvements all the way from Parkview, northerly across the Whitewater Channel to the northerly limits of their development (a distance of about 6,600 ft. ). (3) That improvements to the easterly side of Monterey Avenue by the City include a re-engineering and reconstruction of the Whitewater River Channel crossing so as to prevent the constant erosion of the roadway which now takes place on the downstream side of the crossing. (4) A negative declaration by the City of an updated environmental impact report which has previously been submitted to and accepted by the County. (5) The provision, if necessary, of a full-time building inspector on the project site. (6) That there will be no Performance Bonds required for the private streets in the development. (7) That no interior sidewalks, horsetrails, or bicycle trails will be required; that there will be no requirement to provide additional parking for recreational vehicles; and that no swimming pool fencing will be required. (8) That with respect to the initial phase of the development, no improvements will be required on Portola. In accepting, rejecting, or compromising the above conditions, the Council must remain aware that both the Design Review Board and the City Planning Commission will be involved in the development process , and that the Council may be required at times to forcefully mandate its decisions to those bodies based on the commitments that the Council now makes. If we can reach a "gentlemen's agreement" with the Sunrise Corporation, they are willing to process the entire project, beginning immediately, as if it were in the City, while parallel action for annexation is processed through LAFCO. All terms, conditions , and agreements concerning the development would be contingent upon a successful annexation. There should be an aware- ness also that although it is unlikely, LAFCO might deny the petition for annexation .or more likely, require the annexation boundaries to include other properties so as to extend the annexation easterly to Portola. The Sunrise Corporation people are aware of such a possibility and are prepared to cope should that be LAFCO's findings. MARF ` BOUh1A�'- CiTY MANAGER SCHLECHT & MCCULLOUGh 11"E5 M.

Since that time, after many meetings and discussions by the Monterey Avenue Extension Committee, it was determined that the adopted specific plan-of-qq 88-foot right-of-way as it now exists would be sufficient, therefore, no additional right-of-way will be required east Cr west of Monterey Avenue in the vicinity of your client's property.

Brock Senior Civil Engineer Riverside County Road Department Room 313 46209 Oasis Street Indio, California 92201 Re: Monterey Road (Extension of 74) Dear Mr. Brock: Our law office represents Consolidated Land Investment Company owner of 223 acres bordered on the West by Monterey Road and on the South by the White Water Channel. This letter is being sent to you at the request of Mr. Orrin R. Homme, General Partner of Consolidated Land. Consolidated Land is the owner and developer of the Desert Squire Ranch Golf and Country Club and has been issued Conditional Use Permit #1450E by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors approving and authorizing the development. Specific Plan No. 72-413 re Monterey Road was adopted by the Board of Supervisors in November, 1972 . This Specific Plan, we understand, was recommended by Mr. B. Douglas Powell, County Surveyor and Road Commissioner. The Specific Plan provides for an 88-foot right of way. In 1974 , in implementation of the Specific Plan , portions of Monterey Road south of Country Club Drive were widened and improved. Owners on each side of Monterey Road dedicated additional land for the widening. Because of the location at that time of the Southern California Edison facilities on the west side of Monterey Road in the portion C g �Iyamm C I Mr . Robert P . Brock January 19 , 1977 Page 2 under improvement, the center line of Monterey Road as improved, was moved 10 feet east of its original location on the section line . As a consequence, the property owners on the West were only required to dedicate up to 34 feet west of the re-located center line, the property owners on the East were required to dedicate up to 54 feet east of the re-located center line. We understand that there has been proposed a further widening of Monterey Road. . In any discussions or meetings in which a proposed widening or re-alignment is on the agenda, we wish it be noted and consideration given to the fact that the property owners on the East of Monterey Road, in the areas referred to, have given 54 feet of the right-of- way and that the property owners on the West have given only 34 feet of the right-of-way. This letter is to put on record and give notice, with all due respect, that Consolidated Land Investment has no objection to further improve- ment and widening or re-alignment of Monterey Road, but additional right-of-way for such widening or re-alignment should be provided by property owners on the west side of Monterey Road. Consolidated Land property lies on the east of Monterey Road, and Consolidated Land has no intention of dedicating any additional land for right- of-way. Our information is that the City of Palm Desert is considering as a future location for the City Hall and related facilities , property north of Highway 111 and in the Monterey Road area near the Consoli- dated Land property. If such should be the case , further widening or re-alignment requiring additional land from the east side of Monterey would be most unwise and hazardous , and we understand that the City of Palm Desert would strenuously object to any further widening or re-alignment of Monterey Road that would require additional right-of- way from the east side . Any widening or re-alignment requiring land from the east side of Monterey Road would tend to confuse and seriously and adversely affect Mr. Robert P. Brock January 19 , 1977 Page 3 the proposed development as approved and authorized by Consolidated Use Permit #1450 E. Yours very truly, SCHLECHT & McCULLOUGH John S. McCullough fr cc: Mr. B.

This information was obtained, from Bill Crumpacker , Service Planner for the Edison Company , at a meeting between Mr . Crumpacker , Mayor Clark and Harvey Hurlburt on April llth. We are advised that the extent of the project will involve ".e elimination of 10 .poles and reinstallation of 4 larger poles = e vicinity of the flood channel . In the channel embankment itself , two 95 ' poles will be installed . After excavation and ce=p'_etion of the project 80 ' of each of these two poles will be ____csed . All of these poles will be of the butt pole variety as opposed to creosoted) . The main purpose of the = t lation is to plant the poles deeper in the ground so that street excavation they are still installed to a proper The alignment and elevation of the overhead lines will _ e_ain unchanged . The location of these poles is and will. continue to be. approximately 5 ' to 6 ' east of the westerly edge of the 88 ' right of way . The ultimate. paved right of way consisting of two 12 ' lines , an 8 ' parking lane and a curb and gutter in each side of the project will be 64 ' . This still leaves 1.2 ' of parkway area on each edge of the right of way. This means that the poles croul.d still be approximately 6 ' beyond the curb on the parkway area . Mr . Crumpacker ' s opinion was that there was absolutely no need to relocate the poles at this time nor in the future at such time as the . u.l.timate road is developed . The overhead lines are a r..aximu,n of. 33 KVA which means that at some time in the future they can be und erg round ed -within the 12 ' parkway area . It is important to note, however , that the Edison portion of this project involves only a very small segment of the entire project and , therefore , there is little economic value to undergrounding at this time as opposed to doing it at some future date when sufficient monies are available in the undergrounding fund . 5rom the standpoint of the Edison Company, there is a s__sonal deadline on this project of May 1st . Under normal Conditions the load on the line in early 'Llay increases to the _o_nt where it becomes highly impractical to divert power - --_a rehan ing lines on new poles . This seasonal problem =as _s � til about September or October when the line load once ._ro✓s . a s '�sequent discussion with Mr . Newcome of the County :_ .,._issioner ' s Office , it was determined that the location =ase power poles was taken into full consideration at the __-e of road design . It was for this specific reason that the canter line of the road was moved 10 ' easterly of the section line . while this meant that the property owners on the east side had to dedicate more property than the owners on the west side , it did eliminate the need to relocate all of , the poles on the project at a substantial cost to the project . This means that the present location of the poles is a design location planned for the ultimate road configuration . y .4 n cl., pp co yif cli 01 z Flo �, i � � � 2` f 9 � Sec;ion Line pp 10 :36 94a -7-9-4L�.03 %lap �l i cl- cA Jt� — Ir (All 01 SCHLECHT, McCULLOUGH & PERRIER .�DAMES M.

BOUMAN, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: "DESERT SQUIRE" ANNEXATION DATE: October 13, 1977 The Desert Squire Country Club is the latest development project of the Sunrise Corporation and occupies an L shaped parcel of about 250 acres lying immediately north of the Whitewater Channel and east of Monterey, with the project centered in a north/south direction on Clancy Lane. The Staff has had several conferences with Mr. Bone and Mr. Conlon of the Sunrise Corpora- tion and was a little surprised that the project was ready for processing through the County of Riverside. Mr. Kap Homme, who had previously master- planned the area, is joint-venturing with Sunrise. The Desert Squire development is of tremendous importance to the City of Palm Desert, and there is good reason to believe that the initial phase consisting of approximately 250 acres and 750 units will constitute only about 1/3 of the total utilmate development. The 2/3 of the project that is presently vague consists of what is commonly known as the Morris property south of the Whitewater Channel and the Weiner property lying north of the Whitewater Channel and west of Portola. The total project could thus be about 650 acres and 2,000 units, making it the largest housing development ever to be undertaken in the Coachella Valley. There are many important reasons why we should actively pursue annexation of this project prior to its physical implementation. As the Council is aware, the entire area falls within the City's Sphere of Influence and thus logically becomes the first annexation to the north in that Sphere. If it does not come into the City, we may well be forever blocked from future northerly annexation, especially when we view Rancho Mirage's agressive annexation policy, and Indian Wells' attempts to establish a Sphere of Influence with a boundary as far west as Cook Street. The Sunrise Corporation proposes a quality development of low density which the City would find desirable. Mr. Bone and Mr. Conlon are anxious to cooperate with the City since they feel that there would be mutual advantages to having their project within the City of Palm Desert. The anticipated Build Excise revenues to the City from the initial phase of the project (map dated December, 1977) is expected to be around $245,000 with building permit fees and plan check fees expected to fall somewhere between $200,000 and $250,000.
