PUBLIC HEARINGS:
2. P.D. 174 - EQUESTRIAN V, INC.
Recommendation ; That the Council approve planned development
district for the Equestrian Center, north of Sonora Road
and between the Tahquitz and Palm Canyon Washes, Section
19.
Planning Director reported that the Memorandum of the Director (116)
of Community Development was reviewed in detail at the last
study session. He stated that the Council approved the master
plan for the Equestrian Center in 1981 ; which is proposed
to be revised slightly and a planned development district
has been submitted to provide an addition and modify the
plan ; that sewer and electrical hookups would be provided
to separate the people from the horses; that horses have
been moved farther away from the residences ; that 210-ft
and 240-ft buffers have been created for residential areas ;
that there is very little hardscape; that without the
additional five acres, the number of spaces would be reduced
by approximately 30; and that the proposal relates to the
modifications, and not the Equestrian Center, per se.
In response to question by Council , Director of Community
Services reported the amount of rents for the Equestrian
Center, under lease to the City, and stated that its purpose
was for equestrian purposes only, or related purposes, unless
approved by the Director; and that anything other than an
Equestrian Center would require approving amendment to the
lease
Councilman Birer stated that the grid pattern of the campsites
eliminates the charm of the Equestrian Center, and perhaps
something more informal would be better; that perhaps the
spaces could be provided in phases, as more are needed; and
that he preferred a controlling mechanism Lo assure that
the spaces are for equestrian-related use, and not merely
RV park spaces.

2. P.D. 174 (Continued)
Planning Director reported that the Planning Commission could be
requested to reconsider the campground design, and make modifications
of a less rigid approach in the final development plans; as well
as limit the number of spaces, with each expansion to be reviewed.
In answer to question by Council , Director of Community Services
stated that during development of the RFP for the center, it was
recognized that when one tows a horse., it is via a pickup or RV of
some type, and that campground and RV space in that instance were
interchangeable; that the discussion focused on minimum facilities
expected to be developed by the concessionaire, and the lease addresses
those as minimums and a sequence of development, to assure that there
would be an equestrian park, and there would not be a high dollar
return on the property to the City.
Councilman Maryanov stated that he would abstain due to a client
relationship.
Mayor declared the hearing opened.
Dr. Charles Jenkins, 2082 Birdie Way, stated that the original intent
was not for equestrian events only, but to attract people who come
to the area to ride horses, and to provide hook-up of sewer, water
and power; and original concept did not include a person who did
not have a horse.
Rick Finan, 71411 Cholla, Palm Desert, stated that there was never
an intent to tie up a horse behind a trailer; that such a circumstance
would be impossible for clean-up; that the proposal was for separate
and full hookup; that they have tried to eliminate any nuisance to
the neighbors and still stay with the campsite approach; that without
hookups, RVs will use generators, perhaps running all night, which
could be a greater nuisance; that he did not think the additional
spaces would add traffic ; that the concessionaire followed the master
plan, and assumed the City wanted it, since it had approved it; that
they hope to have two to three major horse shows per month in five
years; that 50-70 campers for a large horse show is not unusual ;
that they want to keep open for equestrian use; and that he did not
have a problem with the idea of limiting the length of stay of the
campers.
Mr. Hough, on behalf of Desert Riders, 3233 Anza Trail , stated that
the facility will have to be able to accommodate 100 people if it
expects to make a profit; that it will be a clean operation ; that
it will have to have enough activities to fill it and recover costs
invested ; and that he did not think it should be run as simply an
RV park, nor did he think that it would be plausible for the first
years.
John Wessman, 72200 Clancy Lane, Rancho Mirage, stated that the
equestrian committee, in developing the RFP, said -it wanted more
dollars invested, more stalls, etc, and to have a major investment
in the site; that the criteria were minimums and not maximums ; that
30-40 spaces will not make a difference in the project, except in
terms of revenue to the concessionaire; that the center probably
will start with 30-40 spaces ; that there was no intent that it be
only an RV park; that it is expected to be used for occupants who
want to rent horses ; that the concept was not that the spaces were
only in connection with an event; and that they intend to have rental
horses, and to be open as much as possible.
Dale Johnson, 1698 Desert Way, adjoining resident, spoke in favor
of the project.

2. P.D. 174 (Continued)
Mrs. Jackson Graham stated that she did not believe her husband
gave approval to the master plan before the City; that the
location is not the place for a campsite; and 'chat it should
be out of town.
John Kammeyer, 3507 El Gaucho, stated that all of the spaces
should be for equestrians only, and for equestrian purposes
only; that he supported provided hook-up and other facilities;
that he did not object to Los Compadres, although he recognized
it will relocate; that he did not object to 75 spaces, provided
they are limited to equestrian purposes; that the facility
does not need to be in competition with RV parks ; and that
the site should be restricted to those persons who bring
their own horses.
Shelly Mallard, 3508 Escoba, challenged the opinion that
horses can use the streets; that she was concerned about
the influx of horses into concentrated residential areas ;
that she believed this would be a health hazard; and that
her street is used for a trail .
Jim Stuart, 155 Hermosa, stated that his proposal offered
more rent; that the RFP did not call for an RV park, rather
campsites only; that his offer was withdrawn because the
street system could not accommodate the heavy traffic of
heavy RVs, nor allow them to maneuver the Highway 111
intersection at Escoba.
Ruth Shenan, 3554 Escoba, spoke in opposition to the Equestrian
Center, per se.
Bob Gallaway, 177 Westlake, stated that the plan no longer
fits the area, and the facility should be put further out
in the open area.
Bob Leeman, Seven Lakes, stated that the project should be
reconsidered.
Dick Levine, 34981 San Mar Circle, stated the proposal is
more than a minor modification; that he opposes a commercial
RV park within 500 feet of his property; that he was not
opposed to the horses, but 365 day per year activity would
be too much.
Mr. Wessman stated that it was unfair to punish those who
responded to the City's RFP, which required how much would
be spent, and how much activity there would be; that the
City wanted a successful operation; that it was never said
the site would be used as an RV park; that there is a 1 ,000
space RV park on Ramon Road, with a golf course and other
amenities, and the Center would not compete with that on
any kind of basis; that the Center should be available to
people who want to rent horses; that no hook-ups would mean
more noise; that intent is to add spaces as needed; and that
subject to a street opening through the McCallum property,
the Center could use it for access.
There being no further appearances, the hearing was closed.
Council Minutes
12-4-85 Page 4
Councilman Smith stated that the facility was to take the
place of some uses lost at the Polo Grounds as well as a
number of available stables ; that it was known the site was
in a residential area, and care would have to be taken; that
it was not going to be a money-maker, and that is why the
rents were so structured ; that he appreciated the hook-ups,
but considered the main issue to be the RV spaces, and
consideration of access ; and that he favored restudy by the
Planning Commission as to the number of sites, and enforceable
conditions to limit use to equestrian purposes and equestrian
events only for the first expansion, with review for any
future expansions.
It was moved by Smith, and seconded by Foster, that Resolution
15720, approving the Planning Commission recommendation for
the PDD, be adopted subject to modification that the number
of spaces be limited to 40; that they be for equestrian
facilities only, or related to an equestrian event for persons
with vehicles pulling horsetrailers; and that the design
of the layout be redesigned.
City Attorney stated that the Equestrian Center lease requires
a minimum of 50 spaces, and it should be clear that the lesser
number may be a first phase, but until modified the terms
of the lease remain in place.
Above motion unanimously carried, Maryanev abstaining, and
Resolution 15720, as modified, was adopted.

consideration of appeal of Planning Commission action of
June 26, 1985.

will be made in connection with final development plans,
to more finitely delineate the corridor; that finding #14
in the proposed Resolution should be modified, in that water
is not being retained on site, rather that concepts and plans

not addressed by the proposed plan ; that the issues are not
new; that the revised plan reduced density, but encroaches
into the areas that were to be buffered in early discussions;

concerns ; and that he did not believe the Tribal Council
concerns are addressed.

Council Minutes

1 . P.D. 145 (Continued)
David Rainbow (?) , golf course architect, stated that there
are no golf holes in Murray or Andreas Canyons; that the
cart path follows grade configuration ; that only 5% of the
palm trees in Murray Canyon are within that area, and the
trees have been totally avoided in Andreas ; and Murray Canyon
is only traversed by foot and horse.
Jim Schlecht, 801 E. Tahquitz, representing the developer,
stated that with the exception of a few people, those who
have spoken in opposition are the same people who have spoken
in the past; that nothing new has been said in the last two
years; that the concern is genuine, but there has been a
substantial failure to recognize the amount of effort that
has gone into the project to address those concerns; that
he believed the mailer of the Friends of the Desert was
misleading ; that the developer is not out to destroy the
canyons ; that the changes the City feels needs to be made
come from its motivation to make a better project, sometimes
over the objections of the developer; that individual Indians
who own the land wnat to have the project move ahead; that
no one took over the lease, traded land, or made any offer
during the last four months ; that the proposal is a preliminary
plan to determine want the City would accept in exchange
for approval of annexation ; and in the absence of that effort,
it is unfair to deny it, considering the money spent and
desires of individual land owners who want to develop their
property.
Jim Rothschild, Vice-President, Andreas Cove Country Club,
stated that they have tried to work through the EIR problems
and questions that have developed; that they are not going
into the canyons ; that the cart trail is 5-feet wide; that
70,000 people visit the canyons each year according to Tribal
information ; that there will be 400-500 families living there;
that aerial overlays show the preservation of the beauty
of the area; that the property is owned by an individual
allottee, and they are not invading those areas that need
to be preserved; and that the developer is subject to a
memorandum of agreement which must be worked out with all
facets of government.
Jim Cornett, biologist, stated that regarding the rapirian
setback, that it is at the point to determine where exotic
plant specimens should not be planted; that no structures
within 100-feet of the mid-line should be permitted; that
field sites will be needed to determine the actual corridor;
that the cart path in Murray Canyon is not likely to have
an impact, it would only be used in the daytime, but there
are greater concerns regarding time of construction, which
in theory could be controlled, but in practicality, movement
of heavy construction equipment causes severe damage, unless
very unusual steps are taken; that a biology monitor has
been recommended to be on the site during construction, but
he questioned authority to control equipment movement at
any time.
There were no further comments.

1 . P.D.145 (Continued)
Councilman Birer stated that he was inclined to approve the
plans submitted September 1 , 1985, involving reduced number
of units, avoiding any development on the other side of the
road, but concluded that it was only trying to take a bad
idea and make it good; that the area must be respected, and
a specific plan should be developed, in conjunction with
the Tribal Council and the County, as necessary; that he
did not believe the project is a great social or economic
benefit to the City, to outweigh loss of the environment;
that he respected the rights of private property owners,
and did not interpret his comments to prevent the developer
from coming in with an entirely different approach that
preserves the rights of the allottees ; and to pursue this
proposal further would be "beating a dead horse. "
Councilman Foster stated that the issue has been worked over
for two years, and others have tried for twenty years to
do something about preserving the area, but he has not seen
anyone come out and do something about it, other than talk
about it; that he was concerned the developer would seek
approval of the County, which could result in dividing the
parcels into walled residences; and that the property is
allotted, and it will be developed.
Couincilman Birer stated that the issue had been postponed
for four months, and Friends of the Indian Canyons did not
come up with the money to purchase it; that he did not believe
the development to be right for the area, although the
developer has tried hard to come up with something; and that
he did not think the approach was good for the area, in
particular, questioned the necessity of a golf course.
Mayor stated that he believed the mitigation measures cover
the concerns ; that the allottee has every right to develop
the land, but the destruction of the area will be a greater
loss to the entire Valley, and he would support denial .
It was moved by Birer, seconded by Bogert, and carried by
the following vote, that the appeal be denied:
AYES: Birer & Bogert
NO: Foster
