As the spouse of someone wheelchair bound I can tell you four feet is not adequate clear zone for the one way section of Palm Canyon Drive nor Arenas Road. Please remember you need to accommodate pedestrians going both directions passing each other. Additionally we already have waiting restaurant customers standing in the four foot path proving four feet is not enough.

Hello Palm Springs City Council and City Clerk, The Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice is submitting this organizational sign-on letter in support of changes to the current draft of the Palm Springs street vendor ordinance. Please take these into consideration. -- Bryan Sanchez Lead Organizer bryan@ic4ij.org (909) 227-7116 07/10/2023 Public Comment Item 1E July 7, 2023 Palm Springs City Council 3200 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way Palm Springs, CA 92262 Honorable Palm Springs Council Members: We, the undersigned organizations, are submitting this letter to urge the City of Palm Springs to adopt a modified sidewalk vendor ordinance, to be heard at its second reading during the Palm Springs City Council meeting of July 10, 2023. We commend this council for adopting a number of the recommendations submitted by the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice (ICIJ) in previous city council meetings. However, we ask the City of Palm Springs to continue striving for a model street vending ordinance by adopting the following recommendations: ● Removal of the seasonal prohibition on street vending in the “Arenas District” and Palm Canyon from October 1st to April 30th; Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 4:00 PM - 11:00 PM: ○ The prohibition limits vendors earning potential and ability to make a living while ensuring that the surrounding businesses will unfairly benefit from the prohibition. ○ The prohibition could set anti-competition barriers among businesses which are potentially legally unsound. ○ The city does not have sufficient evidence to link pedestrian safety concerns with vendors and could expand on their research to explore other solutions. ○ The city does not have sufficient evidence to suggest that nuisance calls to the police from the prohibited areas are in any way related to street vending. ● The 48’’ sidewalk restriction should be reduced, which will still stay within ADA regulations: ○ Most cities only require a 36’’ pathway to be unobstructed, which is the minimum requirement to follow ADA regulations ○As a best practice to support vendors, it should not be more restrictive. We urge the City of Palm Spring to adopt these reccomendations and to continue to build a street vendor ordinance whose purpose is to integrate street vendors into the local economy and recognize their contributions to the city and nightlife, rather than excluding them.

Greetings I would like to again propose the City of Palm Springs adopt a Sidewalk Masterplan for the Districts of Palm Canyon Drive. Carving out space for activities one at a time is sure to leave someone out all together or an inadequate space for the purpose. A sidewalk masterplan would include RESTAURANTS, RETAIL DISPLAYS, STREET VENDORS and PEDESTRIANS that work together for walkable districts of Palm Canyon Drive. Creating a sidewalk masterplan for the districts of Palm Canyon Drive should occur prior to carving out additional uses one by one. Restaurants have approved public land, land for street vendors is on the current council agenda and retailers remained banned from any form of outdoor display except in the uptown district, no category of business should be limited to the leftovers after all others are accommodated, a sidewalk masterplan provides for everyone. As a side note to a sidewalk masterplan, I believe Palm Springs can regulate sidewalk/street commerce on Palm Canyon Drive between Alejo and Ramon based on congestion, traffic, limited parking and sidewalk use. I do not believe we could ban one form of commerce use and not all commerce use of public SEVEN UNIQUE DISTRICTS OF PALM CANYON DRIVE CREATING ONE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE LIKE NO PLACE ELSE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH: City Gateway District Palm Canyon Drive Tramway to Vista Chino Uptown Dine and Design District Palm & Indian Canyons Vista Chino to Alejo Downtown Alejo to Camino Parasola THE MICRO DISTRCTS OF DOWNTOWN: North Palm Canyon Drive Tribal Cultural Center and Entertainment district Tahquitz Corridor South Palm Canyon Drive Indian Canyon Drive No & So District Arenas The Sunny Dunes Palm Canyon Drive, Camino Parasola to Mesquite, Sunny Dunes Road Industrial Place The Curve @ South and East Palm Canyon Drive Mesquite to Camino Real Smoketrees and Saguaro District Palm Canyon Drive Camino Real to Araby Backstreet Arts District & Von’s Rimrock Center Cherokee Way at Palm Canyon Drive and Palm Canyon Drive at Gene Autry Trail. Matt Robinson PALM SPRINGS Promotions & The Districts of Palm Canyon Drive 7610 Calle Mazamitla, Palm Springs CA 92264 GuyInPalmSprings@gmail.com 760/567-0473 PSP 07/10/2023 Public Comment Item 1E sidewalks and street parking, we could ban all commercial use on public land within a designated distance of Palm Canyon Drive. This would require the end of restaurant programs for sidewalk seating and street parklets. This would be following the 2003 Palm Springs Urban Design Plan for Downtown. This plan called for wider sidewalks to make downtown more walkable, today restaurants are seating customers within that expanded sidewalk zone. That’s not a recommendation to end commerce on public land but rather a reply to business owners who fear how much commerce is too much and a desire to regulate commerce other than their own. SB- 946 states street vendors must be treated equally to brick-and-mortar businesses, permitting restaurants to use public land between the hours of 4pm and 11pm while saying due to heavy use of public land it is dangerous to allow commerce on public land between 4pm and 11pm for street vendors, is very likely to be litigated. The top priority must be to maintain an adequate and ADA compliant clear zone. While four feet may be adequate for a clear path in many areas, I believe Palm Canyon Drive (Alejo to Ramon Road or even Camino Parocela) has the need for a for a minimum of six feet clear path with any/all commercial uses including waiting customers or street vendors occurring only outside of the six-foot-wide clear path. Professionals recommend sidewalks up to thirty feet wide based on the amount of use they receive; six feet is not at all unreasonable. Sidewalk Zones Sidewalks should enable active public space and accessible pedestrian travel. Amenities such as landscaping, lighting, seating, and merchandise displays work to activate the street. These amenities should be properly organized to ensure safe and accessible travel. To accomplish this balance, a sidewalk must simultaneously be viewed holistically and through the organizing logic of a set of zones. The five sidewalk zones, from property line to curb, are: • Frontage Zone: The area adjacent to the property line where transitions between the public sidewalk and the space within buildings occur. • Throughway Zone: The portion of the sidewalk for pedestrian travel along the street • Furnishing Zone: The portion of the sidewalk used for street trees, landscaping, transit stops, streetlights, and site furnishings. • Edge Zone: The area used by people getting in and out of vehicles parked at the curbside. • Extension Zone: The area where pedestrian space may be extended into the parking lane, via features such as bulb-outs with mid-block plazas. The dimensions for sidewalk zones are meant as a general guide, within the overall sidewalk width. Appropriate widths for each sidewalk zone vary based on numerous conditions, such as overall sidewalk width, pedestrian volumes, adjacent land uses, presence of driveways, etc. Considerations for width of individual 07/10/2023 Public Comment Item 1E sidewalk zones will differ for constrained sidewalks; that is, sidewalks that are below recommended sidewalk widths. CURB/EDGE ZONE I propose establishing a “curb/edge clear zone” along all curbs with adjacent parking or pedestrian loading/unloading, this is to allow persons to enter/exit parked cars. This would be eighteen inches from the curb face where no commerce may occur as well as no placement of street furniture, street vendors, displays or a-frame signs. This would mean sidewalk signs; street vendors and restaurant sidewalk seating corals all be pulled back 18” from the curb face anywhere parking or loading/loading is permitted. Restaurants renting street parking for a parklet could occupy the curb/edge clear zone for as long as the parklet is in place. THROUWAY ZONE ADA compliance calls for a minimum of four (4) feet clear and unobstructed sidewalk, however it recommended that width increase with heavier pedestrian traffic. Four feet of clear pathway is likely adequate except for the central business district +/- districts. Palm Canyon Drive from Alejo to Camino Parocela is the footprint I see as the area with need for additional widths. The City of Palm Springs recognized this need for wider sidewalks in 2003 and added the sidewalk improvements to provide the space needed for a pedestrian friendly city. The districts of Downtown North and South as well as Arenas Road should require a minimum of six feet of clear open sidewalk. The city requires different requirements for ADA clear path for sidewalk a-frame signs (72”), sidewalk restaurant seating (48”) and street vendor representatives call for (36”) for them. This is space required for the needs of the disabled under ADA guidelines and that could only mean the widths should be the same for all obstructions no matter who you are, I propose 72” in the CBD area as we have held a-frame permits to 72” for the longest written regulations referring to ADA pedestrian clear path. BUSINESS DISPLAY/FRONTAGE ZONE (along property line) Retailers would be able to be issued a permit for retail display (not sales except during city sanctioned district sidewalk sales). This space would be 36” deep measured from the property line (not building) and no greater width than 12’ In width. Merchants could apply to place this display adjacent to the property line OR in the FURNITURE ZONE. Within the first year of the pandemic the City Manager was requested to offer assistance for retailers as well as restaurants, he replied that retailer displays might come later. FURNITURE ZONE/RETAILER DISPLAY ZONE/STREET VENDORS The furniture zone contains obvious items like street benches, trash and recycling bins, news racks and A-frame sidewalk signs. In addition, restaurant seating, retailer displays, as well as stationary and mobile street vendors 07/10/2023 Public Comment Item 1E may obtain permits for the furniture zone. It is important to note the fixed widths of the curb/edge zone (18”), sidewalk clear zone (72”) and the merchandise display zone (if used 36”) are fixed widths. The furniture zone is the remaining width of the sidewalk and will vary in width. Street vendors may obtain a permit to display in the furniture zones where space is available. A vendor display depth is dictated by the available width between the edge/curb zone and the 72” sidewalk zone, this will vary by total sidewalk width at each location. The maximum width of a street vendor or retailer displays shall be no wider than twelve feet wide. Both the retailer display (if located in furniture zone) and street vendor space shall be followed by ten feet of width of no commercial use space, this opens each block to a maximum commercial use of total length of the block for retail and vending. Restaurant sidewalk seating corals may run the width of the business PLUS any additional width the neighboring business has authorized. Any street vendor desiring a display space wider than twelve feet may apply for a vendor space in a designated vendor district. The twelve-foot width is to address safety concerns for fire/police/emt access as well as for the public access between the curb/edge zone and sidewalk zone. Neither fixed location and mobile vendors may conduct sales within the thruway pedestrian zone, all sales in the Central Business District shall be limited to the furniture zone. SIDEWALK DISPLAY GUIDELINES Outdoor displays (not sale racks and tables) can stop pedestrians in their tracks and encourage them to come in and shop. I support a well-regulated "retail display" for each retailer, it’s a bit like placing a flowering plant by your front door. The current retail business ordinance is limited to Uptown; my vision would be for outdoor displays not outdoor sales intended to attract indoor shoppers, not to conduct outdoor retail sales, not hanging racks of merchandise or sale items The permits should be for all ground floor retail business in all the districts of Palm Canyon Drive. Each business would be permitted an outdoor display no larger than 48” deep and total length of 12’ feet wide. A maximum of 12 items which are available inside the store, no signs other than the permitted a- frame sign should the retailer choose to incorporate the a-frame into the outdoor display, this is a display only. The display must be able to be brought in or out by a single staff member making no more than a couple of trips. This is to ensure the sidewalk may be easily cleared in the event of an emergency. It is highly recommended that the display be a rolling display, cart or table easily moved. The Galleria building has a retailer with two white industrial carts as displays for an example of this. Mannequins are limited to a maximum of two full body or three torso mannequins and they or anything tall must be anchored/attached to a display table or cart. Placement requires there always be a minimum of six feet of unobstructed sidewalk, may be placed close to the building (or property line) or the display may be placed in the sidewalk furniture zone avoiding placement in the setback 18” from curb. A countertop style glass showcases up to 3 cubic feet may be attached to the top of the table or display for smaller items however larger glass showcases intended for indoor use are not permitted. 07/10/2023 Public Comment Item 1E Brick and mortar businesses have the first option to the space directly in front of their business at the beginning of the masterplan and annually at permit renewal. Annual permits for restaurant sidewalk seating, retail displays and street vendors should all pay the same annual permit fee.
