2. VARIANCE 6.345 - P. GIBB
Consideration of appeal from Planning Commission denial
of application to convert carport to an accessory guesthouse
- matter continued from November 7 at request of appellant.
Director of Community Development reported that the appeal
relates to a part of a structure previously allowed to
remain in the setback by Council action, but which has (146)
been converted to a guesthouse by new owners of the property.
He stated the work was accomplished without permit and
discovered by field inspector.
Mayor declared the hearing opened.
David Christian, 1000 S. Palm Canyon, representing the
applicant, stated that the applicant thought the carport
was within the setback required when the discovery was
made, at which time she contacted him; and that she is
willing to enclose the structure as a garage, and not a
guesthouse. In answer to question by Council , he stated
that the area under the roof would not be altered, but
the one wall would physically be closer to the property
line because it is outside of the support column; and that
the structure is not visible from the street.

2. VARIANCE 6.345 (Continued)
Pat Gibb, 795 N. Patencio, stated that she did not know
the structure had been allowed by variance, nor that a
permit was needed ; that the structure is 90% complete and
needs only a door; that the support columns were not moved,
and only a roof and walls were added; and she believed
it would be a hardship to remove that which is in place.
There were no further appearances, and the hearing was
closed.
In answer to question by Council , Director of Community
Development stated that the roof of the carport was built
5-ft over the support structures, and that the walls match
the roofline.
Councilman Smith stated that the work was done without
a permit; that variance was granted over the objection
of the Planning Commission ; and that liberty was taken
to convert it to an enclosed structure, and there are not
assurances that if it were approved as a garage, that it
would not later be changed to a guesthouse.
It was moved by Smith, seconded by Foster, and unanimously
carried, that the appeal be denied and the Planning Commis-
sion action upheld.
3. P.D. 145 - ANDREAS COVE
Recommendation: That the Council certify the Final EIR
as complete and give preliminary approval of P.D. 145,
in-lieu of a change of zone, for residential development
and golf course on property south of existing ci'Ly limits
in Section 2, known as Andreas Cove Country Club.
Director of Community Development reported that the project (116)
is not in the city, but petition for annexation has been
received and if the project is completed it would be in
the city, therefore, preliminary action is appropriate.
Planner Doug Evans reviewed the specifics of the project,
noting that it consists of a maximum of 900 units of either
single-family or condominium units ranging from .6 to 6.5
units per acre, with an overall density of 4 units per
acre for the 200 acres of residential zoning; that there
will be a championship golf course with indigenous trees
and grasses, transitioning into the native areas ; that
the clubhouse will be 3-4 stories and 8 tennis courts
provided; that the access road will be realigned to provide
a separate road into Andreas Canyon and Palm Canyon; that
landscaping is to blend with the desert environment; that
the project is designed to require 50% less waiver on the
golf course than normally required and substantially less
for the residential areas; that there will be all-weather
access on and off-site; that flood control will utilize
on-site native rock; that there will be minimal cutting
into the hillside and restoration will be extensive,
including the use of native rock and plants where
appropriate; that there are two hillside encroachments
- one for a golf course tee, and the other for DWA water
tank; that the EIR process was started in May, 1983, focusing
on archaeological , ethnigraphics, biological , flood and
site disturbances ; that bighorn sheep were not found in
the lower regions of Andreas Canyon, however, a small bird,
of which there are only two known pair, was Pound, and

mitigation relates to project design not to disturb the
riparian habitat and fencing of the palm grove during
construction ; that three palm trees will have to be
relocated; that secondary impacts include some fencing
to protect the security, and avoid trespassing into the
canyons ; that the Fish & Game Service will have to authorize
disruption of the stream beds, and he believed those have
been addressed to a reasonable degree and Fish & Game Service
has expressed support of the project as conditioned by
the EIR; that the General Plan issues were extensive -
maximum units would be 1100, request is for 900, and it
is not necessary to require secondary thoroughfare; that
existing infrastructure could not handle such a merger;
and that Palm Canyon wash would be channeled. He discussed
various displays on the boards, indicating access, clubhouse,
tennis courts, a photograph showing the tennis court site
from the palm grove; site disturbance maps; phasing program.
In answer to questions by Council , the Planner stated that
the project has net reached the point of details relative
to a wall , however, a barrier wall , using hillside rock,
is being considered in the area 75 yards from the improved
residential yard area - or from the riparian core to the
homes would remain open, and it was his understanding that
fencing is intended; that the alluvial cone is not in the
hillside, and no home will be developed on a site more
than an approximate 10% slope; that the Desert Riders and
the Community Services Commission are concerned about the
fence that would cut access to the Palm Canyon wash, which
would necessitate a 4-5 hour ride around the project, which
would otherwise be 1 hour; and that resolution might be
possible via a gate which would lead to the Indian toll
gate, and access to Palm Canyon ; that the Tribal Council
wants its access adjacent to the City' s access which would
mean 105 ft devoted to access.
Councilman Foster stated that a 60-ft right-of-way seems
short-sighted and a bottleneck will be created.
Planner stated that even with existing improvements, the
infrastructure would not be able to handle traffic coming
out of Palm Hills ; that in considering the Chaddick project
(northeast) , the Council did not want a thoroughfare along
the toe or flood control dike and did not require dedication;
that the JHK Report indicated that there would be a maximum
of 1800 units in Palm Canyon, which could be handled by
existing systems, but if Palm Hills is considered, all
traffic problems would have to be addressed; that JHK assumed
655 developable acres, traffic signals and extension of
Barona.
Councilman Foster stated that a 60-ft right-of-way does
not permit landscaping, and will be a street lined with
walls on both sides; that the extension of bike Trails
into the canyon is important and should be considered;
and questioned how Tribal Council ' s letter regarding water
will be addressed.

3. P.D. 145 (Continued)
Planner stated that the master plan for bicycles shows
the bike trail ending at Bogert Trail ; that the water issue
will be negotiated between the developer and DWA, and a
report will be made back to the Planning Commission; that
sewer service to the area can be handled by the existing
plant; that a large annexation might necessitai;e looking
at amendments to the Master Plan of Sewers and need for
oversize lines to handle additional development; that the
100-year flood plain extends into the site, and 25-year
protection facility will be constructed along the easterly
property boundary area between the 25-year and the 100-year
areas (approximately 12 acres) will be filled, and the
native character will be lost; that the Palm Canyon wash
will be disrupted on the site, but water will still flow
along the natural channel - major waters will be diverted
on the site - 14 acres of channel will be lost .,, channels
will be lined with native rock; that flood control has
already been established on the east side of the wash,
and eventually there will have to be something on the west
side.
Councilman Foster stated that he would like more specifics,
and to walk the site, to see what will be lost in the flood
area.
Mayor declared the hearing open.
Tim Wilkes, 2240 University, Newport Beach, architect and
land planner representing the owner, requested that the
EIR be certified and the preliminary plan approved; and
stated that through an agreement with the Tribal Council ,
equestrian trail and gatehouse are being provided, and
the developer has no control over buildings or fences outside
of the project.
Kathy Shumfeld, resident, stated that there are a lot of
"ifs" that need to be answered and the word "improvement"
has been used a lot, but the natural beauty cannot be
improved upon, and she hoped that something more devastating
would be prevented. She stated she would like to see the
area preserved as a park.
John Stewart, Palm Desert, representing the CV Audubon
Society and the San Bernardino Sierra Club Chapter, stated
that he did not believe the mitigation measures in the
EIR were sufficient to deal with the small bird, whose
habitat is Palm Canyon, Chino Canyon and Andreas Canyon;
that review of it as an endangered species is in l.he final
stages at the Federal level ; that it was his understanding
the U.S. Fish & Wildlife have not reviewed the EIR, and
should be contacted regarding impacts on the riparian
habitat; that regarding Table II-C of the EIR, bermuda
grass is not listed as an invasive specie, but next to
the golf course it will increase the problems of it in
the riparian and desert area; that the text refers to some
plants as herbaceous plants, which are not herbaceous plants,
and the California Ditaxus was not looked for, and he
believed it should have been studied, since it occurs on
the fan; that he questioned what effect the stream flooding
would have on the riparian habitat itself, and he was not
aware of the EIR process until 2-3 weeks ago, and he would
like to see a delay until there is an opportunity to walk
the area; and that the Fish & Wildlife Service should be
contacted. He stated that he is a Plant Ecologist, and
defined herbaceous.

3. P.D. 145 (Continued)
John Adams, Planning Consultant for the Tribal Council ,
230 Campus Drive, Irvine, stated that the Tribal Council
has been involved in the EIR process from the outset, and
its comments and position were expressed October 9, 1984,
and its comments reflected in the Final EIR; that mitigation
was added which addressed its concerns, and the Tribal
Council approved certifying it, including DWA letter
September 18, 1984. He stated that he found the document
to be most comprehensive; that the Tribal Council 'is willing
to work with the public regarding trails and to maintain
security of the canyons ; that Condition #2 of the proposed
Council resolution, addresses concerns of the Tribal Council
regarding sewers and water; and that as long as the 60-ft
access remains as a private street, the Tribal Council
access would continue to function as part of that street.
Art Buntz, Attorney for the Tribal Council , Escondido,
stated that Andreas Canyon is a National Historic District;
that the BIA and other Federal agencies will comply with
their responsibilities in so far as. the District is involved;
that end product is a Memorandum of Agreement, entered
into between the BIA, the National Advisory Council on
Historic Preservation, and the State Advisory Council on
Historic Preservation; that the MOA is in a draft form,
and it will be the framework by which the Federal Agencies
will make their decisions with regard to this project;
that the National Advisory Council has asked the Tribal
Council to be a signer to the agreement, and probably will
ask the developer; that the BIA is the lead agency to
coordinate other Federal agencies, and if it has not
contacted Fish & Wildlife Service, it should do so.
Jim Cornett, 933 Calle Laurel , stated thatt, the plant list
is not part of the biological survey, and there have been
some changes, but not significant to the overall character
of the ecological site; that Bermuda grass has existed
in the canyon for 16 years ; that he believed the Fish &
Wildlife Service has been notified; that when the survey
was done in 1982:, the small bird was not proposed for any
Federal lists, and that has only been a recent factor;
that he did not find the Ditaxus, but dirt find 141 other
species within one-half mile of the site; and that he did
not believe it was in the area, however, if a person 'looked
for several additional years, it might be found. In answer
to question by Council , Mr. Cornett stater,) that there are
two lizards existing in the site area, but neither is on
any endangered list.
There being no further business, Mayor declared the hearing
closed.
Councilman Foster stated that a field trip was taken a
year ago, and questioned if the EIR could be certified
and still review or discuss concerns of the Council , i .e. ,
access right-of-way, equestrian and bike trails, and the
Palm Canyon wash.
Director of Community Development stated that certification
of the EIR means that a body of information has been
collected, not as to what is right or wrong, on which to

base decisions; that if the Council is not satisfied,
information should be requested that is needed to make
the EIR complete; that two actions are proposed -
certification of the EIR and approval of the preliminary
plan, and that one or both actions could be taken ; that
the circulation system is part of the plan established,
and the circulation element should have loose ends ; and
if the Council is not comfortable with what is proposed,
it should take the time to feel comfortable with the decision
that it proposes to make.
Councilman Maryanov stated he would abstain due to a client
relationship.
Councilman Smith stated he would abstain due to involvement
by his firm in the environmental study.
Motion by Birer to approve the action as recommended, failed

until those items about which he has concerns are addressed.
It was moved by Foster, seconded by Birer, and unanimously
carried, Maryanov and Smith abstaining, that the Final
EIR and preliminary plan be continued for further study,
until the circulation plan, narrowing of the Palm Canyon
wash, bike trails within the circulation system, and
equestrian trail concerns can be resolved.

with the Planning Commission to try to resolve these
questions. Councilman Birer stated that he ,could like
to resolve them as soon as possible.

to outdoor activities being limited to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

John Blayney, Minister, stated that the facility fronts
on a 4-lane street; sits on 11-2 acres ; and there will not
be much traffic generated during the week. He stated that
the Church has small classes during some evenings, and
it does not have a junior church and there would not be
outdoor activities. In response to question by Council ,
he stated that the 24-ft height meets setbacks and is the
sanctuary included in the second phase , and will hide the
air-conditioning equipment.
Bob Fitzgerald, 2099 E. Racquet Club Road, stated that
his property is across the street at an angle to the site,
and he is opposed to the project because it will have an
adverse affect on the residential quality of the neighbor-
hood and will adversely affect his property in terms of
parking and increased traffic. He stated that night classes
would be disruptive.

Methodist Church and there are approximately 30 cars during
a service; that the new site provides 100 spaces ; that
the Church is not a large church and classes are attended
by 12-15 people two times per week.

Way.
Director of Community Development reported that this matter
first came directly to the Council from the Tribal Council ;
and that the Planning Commission recommended approval of
the change to Tahquitz Way from the Airport to the mountains,
and requested Council direction as to change of name for
E1 Cielo (or any other street) to McCallum Way. He stated
that various alternatives were considered, and it is discre-
tionary with the Council to change the name to something
other than that recommended by the Planning Commission.
Councilman Birer suggested considering the deletion of
"McCallum" west of Sunrise and leaving it in the name east
of Sunrise.
Councilman Smith stated that there are a number of businesses
between Sunrise and the Airport and not as many between Sunrise
and the mountains, and perhaps the split could be accomplished
without as much disruption to mailing addresses; that if
McCallum is removed from the street, then question is what
street should be so designated, and perhaps the issue should
be taken in segments - i .e. , do not delete McCallum from
all of the street until a decision is made as to E1 Cielo
name.
Councilman Maryanov stated that he did not support a 50-50
approach, and he understood rationale of not disrupting busi-
ness ; that perhaps the Airport could be named McCallum Field;
and he objected, based on principle, to a 50-50 approach.

Way from the Airport to the mountains, failed to carry by
the Following vote:

to split the name, because he supported the deletion of
"McCallum" through Section 14.

Tahquitz-McCallum from Sunrise to the mountains, was presented;
after which, it was moved by Birer, seconded by Smith, and
unanimously carried, that Resolution 15328 be adopted.
