As President of the St. Baristo Condominium Owners Association, I am writing in opposition to the application for a conditional use permit for the Fuego Nightclub. The St. Baristo condominiums are located in the Tennis Club neighborhood at the intersection of West Baristo Road and South Cahuilla Road, which is approximately 3 blocks from the proposed nightclub. At its meeting on May 12, 2022, the Palm Springs City Council will be hearing an appeal from a decision by the Planning Commission to deny the application. We urge the Council to uphold the Planning Commission decision because the conditional use permit would likely result in an unacceptable burden on residents of the Tennis Club neighborhood in general and our condominium community in particular. We base this conclusion on the following: First, while the Planning Commission staff report concludes that the nightclub would comply with the municipal noise ordinance if certain mitigation measures were adopted, that does not mean that noise levels would not be a nuisance to nearby residents. To the contrary, we would expect the noise levels to be unacceptable to our residents given the high decibel nature of music anticipated from the nightclub. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that music from The Village Pub and Asia SF nightclub can be heard by people living in nearby neighborhoods despite the noise mitigation measures adopted by those venues. The staff report failed to address the impact of noise on adjacent residential neighborhoods. Thus, for example, there was no assessment of whether nightclub noise could be heard inside nearby residences or their private outdoor spaces. This would obviously be of concern given that the nightclub would operate until 2:00 a.m. Thursdays through Sundays. Second, while minimum municipal code parking requirements may be met, our view is that 34 parking spaces are not sufficient to support the venue at its capacity of over 300 people (and there is nothing in the staff report to support the view that patrons would largely arrive on foot). Currently, parking for bars and large downtown events often spills over to streets in the Tennis Club neighborhood. This is likely to be exacerbated with large weekend crowds at Fuego. The main reason we are concerned about nightclub parking in the Tennis Club neighborhood is because of the associated noise factor when bar patrons return to their cars. Even before the Palm Springs bar hours were extended to 2:00 a.m., St. Baristo residents have had to endure an uptick in obnoxious behavior right outside their homes by bar patrons and others returning to their cars late at night (honking horns, racing engines, squealing tires, loud/belligerent voices, litter, etc). This can occur as late as 2:00 or 2:30 a.m. after bar closing. There is no amount of noise mitigation by Fuego that will prevent this kind of behavior by bar patrons in the middle of the night. Finally, while we recognize the city’s desire to maintain a vibrant downtown, we should think as a matter of public policy that tourist entertainment would not be at the expense of downtown adjacent neighborhoods. St. Baristo residents have made substantial investments in their homes, most of which were purchased long before the recent spate of conditional use permit applications related to live music and nightclubs in the downtown area. It is unfair that we should be made to suffer from noise and other nuisances that Fuego would bring to the neighborhood at all hours of the night simply because we chose to live near downtown. In conclusion, the City Council should uphold the decision of the Planning Commission to deny the conditional use permit for Fuego Nightclub. We also wish to thank the Council for the opportunity to comment on this matter. Brian J. Hurd President, St. Baristo Condominium Owners Association 5/12/2022 Public Comment Item 2A Fuego Nightclub statement I am speaking tonight as the Secretary of the Historic Neighborhood Organization Inc. and as a full time resident of the Historic Tennis Club Neighborhood. We are a unique neighborhood that has co-existed with many small boutique hotels over the years. We have found that a mix use neighborhood has many advantages. The key element to this co-existence is that we respect each other as neighbors. We are sensitive to noise, parking, traffic and large groups that visit our neighborhood on a regular basis throughout the year. The Fuego nightclub CUP was denied by the Planning Commission as it does not meet the criteria of being a good neighbor or an asset to the neighborhood. Bruce T. Bauer wrote an excellent letter on April 21st, 2022 that outlines very clearly why this project is not a good fit for the location or the neighborhood. He represents a number of hotels in the area along with an apartment complex. I have spoken to additional small hotels in the neighborhood and they concur that this project would NOT be an asset to the neighborhood. We are asking that the City Council respect the residents and small business owners of our neighborhood and uphold the Planning Commission’s unanimous recommendation to deny this CUP.

Dear David Newell, City Clerk, This is a copy of a previous letter that l had submitted. Although l will be attending tonight’s meeting, l do not wish to speak. A member of our neighborhood association, Tempe Essell, will be speaking on our behalf. I appreciate your taking my wishes, and the wishes of all those opposed to the Fuego nightclub in consideration. It is not a nightclub that l am opposed to. It is the location that l am strongly opposed to. Sincerely, Cristina Van Dyck I have resided at 325 S. Cahuilla Road, Palm Springs since January of 2006. I love our special and unique community. While l enjoy the diversity and energy of the downtown district, l am opposed to allowing any more night clubs. Moxie and The Pub (and soon, Chill) has, unfortunately, brought the Zeldas crowd, and the problems we had with Zeldas (excessive noise, fights and shootings, to name a few), closer to our residential and inns/hotel area. Fuego Night Club will only intensify these issues. Also, Fuego would directly impact a residential building and a hotel. Residents and hotel guests expect and deserve a certain amount of peace and quiet. Please submit this to the committee. I will, unfortunately, not be available to speak tonight.

Mejia and Newell: Please accept this letter on behalf of our clients concerning a project that is proposed to be built in the City of Palm Springs (the “City”), that is described as an application for a Conditional Use Permit for a nightclub and cocktail lounge in an existing 9,504-square foot building to be located at 383 South Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, California (the “Nightclub.”) This Nightclub project was rightly and soundly defeated at the Planning Commission level based on a unanimous vote (7-0). The applicant for this project, LWSC LLC c/o PSPC Enterprises LLC, (Applicant) has filed an appeal (Appeal) from the Planning Commission’s denial of the Nightclub which is now on the City Council’s agenda for April 21, 2022 (item No. 2A). Our clients are owners of, or have an interest in, the following business establishments in the City, many of which are located near the proposed Nightclub, including as follows: Del Marco Hotel, La Serena Villas, The Three Fifty, Avalon Hotel, The Ingleside Inn, Melvyn’s Restaurant & Lounge, Chi Chi Restaurant and Estrella Spa. In addition, one of our clients is the owner of the 31-unit apartment building, the Orleans Building Apartment Homes. Collectively, our clients have invested millions of dollars in the City of Palm Springs. Our clients are strongly opposed to Applicant’s Appeal and strongly urge the City Council to deny that Appeal. Please circulate this letter to all of the City Councilmembers in advance of the hearing scheduled on April 21, 2022, regarding this matter. 5/12/2022 Public Comment Item 2A As pointed out above and in the Staff Agenda, Applicant’s proposed Nightclub was denied on March 9, 2022. Applicant has submitted its Appeal in which it asserts that it has addressed the numerous and serious concerns that had been raised at the Planning Commission including concerns about noise emanating from their Nightclub since it is immediately adjacent to residential dwellings, parking problems, safety concerns, operating hours, etc. Applicant has not addressed these serious issues and the Appeal should be denied. 1. SUMMARY OF NIGHTCLUB PROJECT Applicant proposes a large Nightclub be granted a C.U.P. by the City. This Nightclub would be permitted to have up to 327 people located therein although the existing parking lot, located directly adjacent to a 31-unit apartment building, yet it only has 34 parking spaces. The Applicant for this proposed Nightclub could hardly have picked a worse location in the City to operate such a full throttled nightclub. There are already challenging operations to existing businesses in that location resulting from the operations of The Village Pub and Moxie. Those establishments have parking and noise problems. Their patrons spill out of those establishments after hours causing noise, parking and crime problems. There are also existing problems with homeless and drug dealing across the street at BevMo! and Rite Aid. 2. LOCATION OF NIGHTCLUB ADJACENT TO A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. One of the most disturbing aspects of the proposed location is that it directly abuts a 31-unit apartment complex, the Orleans Building Apartment Homes (the “Orleans”). The Orleans is not a commercial enterprise. It is instead a complex of 31 apartments with residents who will be living and sleeping adjacent to an extraordinarily busy nightclub with its customer exiting the club at all hours up until closing time at 2:00 a.m. All of the parking for this proposed Nightclub abuts the Orleans. It does not take much imagination to consider the problems and noise attendant with drunken patrons of the Nightclub interacting with one in that parking lot after hours. Those problems will make quiet enjoyment in the Orleans nearly impossible. Many of the Orleans’ tenants are elderly and have medical conditions and are not capable of speaking up on these issues. However, their quality of life will be forever compromised should the Nightclub be approved. We urge the Planning Commission to give voice to those residents and reject the request of Applicant and deny its Appeal. There are additional issues with respect to the Nightclub including the fact that it should be subjected to more exacting environmental review. 3. CEQA REVIEW The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires public agencies to “look before they leap” and consider the environmental consequences of their discretionary actions. CEQA is 5/12/2022 Public Comment Item 2A intended to inform government decisionmakers and the public about the potential environmental effects of proposed activities and to prevent significant, avoidable environmental damage. In the City’s Staff Report the City has concluded that the Nightclub is categorically exempt from CEQA review, pursuant to Section 15301 of CEQA Guidelines (Existing Facilities), and that no environmental impacts are anticipated from the proposed use of the Nightclub. This conclusion is in error. The § 15301 Exemption for Existing Facilities is inappropriate for the Nightclub because it proposes a use that is fundamentally different from the prior use of the existing facility. See, Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14 § 15302. As the Staff Report indicates, the site for the Nightclub was a commercial bank. A commercial bank has a fundamentally different purpose and capacity than the activities anticipated with the Nightclub. That much should be obvious. A commercial bank has a limited number of patrons and employees at any given time. Parking for such an establishment then is far less than that required of a nightclub. A bank has customers who patronize it sporadically during its operations. However, a nightclub, on the other hand, may meet its capacity of patrons at a given time (327-person occupancy.) The density of use of a bank and nightclub, and attendant parking requirements, are not comparable then. Moreover, if there were a line out of the nightclub for patrons wishing to enter such a nightclub those patrons would also need to park nearby. Therefore, the Nightclub does not qualify for the Existing Facilities Exemption because it will be a totally different use from the previously existing commercial bank. “The relevant issue in determining whether the existing facilities exemption applies is whether the project involves ‘expansion of use beyond that existing or former use.’ (§ 15301, italics added.) San Diegans for Open Government v. City of San Diego (2018) 31 Cal.App.5th 349, 370, 371. Here the Nightclub proposes significant changes to use that existed previously for the building. Applicants now argue that the property was previously used as an “event space” as though it was used in the same manner that they are proposing. Of course, the property was never not utilized in that manner that Applicant proposes. While the property may have been used an event center, it was done so sparingly. Moreover, and more importantly, even it was open as such, it was with small crowds, and closed early. The property was NEVER a nightclub, which is a horse of a different color entirely. Since the Existing Facilities exemption does not apply here the Applicant would be required to undertake a full blown CEQA analysis before the Nightclub project could even proceed. 4.NOISE AND PARKING ISSUES The importance of CEQA review if evident in reviewing the consideration of noise and parking issues that will arise as a result of the proposed Nightclub. 5/12/2022 Public Comment Item 2A Despite the fact that this proposed Nightclub proposes to operate from 4:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m., no consideration has been given to the noise that is naturally attendant to patrons leaving a large club in the parking lot that adjoins the above apartment building. Applicant now proposes to shorten the hours of operation from 2:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. Cutting the hours of operation by one hour hardly matters and would make no significant difference to the apartment dwellers at the Orleans. As pointed out above, there are going to be noise problems emanating from the large number of patrons who will be exiting the Nightclub at all hours. Even when a club closes, there is often a lengthy delay when patrons exit the club, mingle and then exit the parking lot. Those interactions – often loud, boisterous and sometimes violent – can last well past the time the club has closed. While Applicant studied noise emanating from the proposed Nightclub itself, it has presented NO study or consideration of the noise that will naturally follow from its patrons on the outside of the club. Likewise, the issue of parking and traffic have not been carefully considered in connection with the proposed Nightclub. The site of the proposed Nightclub has an existing 34-space parking lot located underneath and around the building. However, the project contemplates the maximum number of guests is to be 327. On the face of it, the 34-spaces at the project site will not come close to satisfying the parking requirements of 327 people. The area in question is already suffers from a deficit of available parking. Our clients are acutely aware of these problems. The parking issues have already been very challenging for our clients’ apartment tenants, hotel guests, and employees due to the lack of parking in this location. Our clients’ assigned parking spaces are often occupied by others looking parking in this area. These parking issues are especially challenging during the busy weekend period from Thursday through Sunday and at nighttime. This timeframe is also the timeframe that the Nightclub proposes to operate. With 327 people looking for parking outside of the available 34 parking spaces, patrons will be driving around the block interacting with other motor vehicle traffic. The congested area will only become far more congested. Parking problems that already exist will become nightmarish. Applicant now proposes to park customers differently to ally the concerns of opponents of the Nightclub. These proposed changes do not add anything meaningfully to the issues at hand. Applicant still proposes to have customers (“VIP” customers) park in their parking lot. It is not difficult to imagine the impossibility of policing such a policy. How is a club supposed to monitor all of work and safety concerns of the operations of a busy nightclub, while simultaneously policing all corners of the large complex, AND enforce parking restrictions. In any event, the Applicant still proposes having a fully parking lot. It is impossible to prohibit late night noise emanating from employees and VIP customers coming and going through a narrow parking lot at late hours. There is nothing that Applicant can do to ameliorate the noise that is attendant to ANY parking lot let alone a parking lot with patrons from a nightclub. There will be unacceptable noise levels to anyone who is sleeping nearby in the Orleans project. 5/12/2022 Public Comment Item 2A CONCLUSION. For all of the above reasons, we oppose the proposed Nightclub since it will exasperate the already difficult conditions that exist in that area and will make life for the residents located adjacent to that proposed Nightclub unbearable. Therefore, the City Council is urged to deny the Appeal. Sincerely, SBEMP LLP Bruce T. Bauer, Esq. cc: clients 5/12/2022 Public Comment Item 2A VIA EMAIL cityclerk@palmspringsca.gov Anthony J.

I plan to live in this apartment on a long-term basis. There are already noise, parking and safety concerns in my neighborhood because of operations of The Village Pub and Moxie which are located across the street from the Orleans apartment building. We can hear music from those locations when they are operating at night and then when patrons spill out when those locations close. As soon as the patrons, many of them in a drunken state, exit the clubs there are problems with noise and crime as fights will sometimes break out. My main concern will be for my neighbors, some with mental illnesses, some apartments that are 6 ft. from the north wall. The proposed Fuego nightclub will make the above problems, which exist across the street, unbearable and unlivable conditions. since it will be located right next to our apartments. No one can seriously expect us to live next to a nightclub and not expect constant problems. I would never had signed a lease if I had known there would have been this type of traffic. There will be no way to contain the sound of the nightclub since it will be coming from all directions including patrons coming and going to the nightclub late into the evening. The Orleans apartments are almost 100 years old and the walls are thin; this will disrupt our peaceful way ofliving and It will be difficult to live in such an environment. What make this situation even more difficult is the fact that many of the residents in our apartment are elderly and disabled. They should not be made to suffer under these proposed conditions especially when there is a nightclub venue one block up the road ( Zeldas ). For all of the above reasons, I strongly oppose the proposed Fuego nightclub since it will make already difficult conditions impossible and unlivable.

No one can seriously expect us to live next to a nightclub and not expect constant problems. There will be no way to contain the sound of the nightclub since it will be coming from all directions including patrons coming and going to the nightclub late into the evening. It will be difficult to live in such an environment. What make this situation even more difficult is the fact that many of the residents in our apartment are elderly. They should not be made to suffer in silence. For all of the above reasons, I strongly oppose the proposed Fuego nightclub since it will make already difficult conditions impossible. 5/12/2022 Public Comment Item 2A VIA EMAIL cityclerk@palmspringsca.gov Anthony J.
