FROM: Department of Planning Services SUMMARY: This is a request for the Planning Commission to consider an application for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow the expansion of a transportation terminal use for package distribution at 650 N. Commercial Road located in the M-1-P zone district. The expansion includes a 368 sf addition to the west elevation and the replacement of the existing “portable distribution center” units with “mobile distribution center” units to the west side of the building that is approximately 2,666 sf of area. In addition, the parking and landscape areas will be brought into compliance with the City’s regulations and standards. ISSUES -The required number of parking spaces based on the use is met, however, 3 additional EV charging spaces are required based on the increased number of excess parking spaces provided. The conditions of approval include these spaces to be provided in accordance with Section 93.06.00 of the Zoning code. -A Construction Management Plan (CMP) outlining the management of the site during construction was required with this submission. The submitted CMP does not include the final details for the off-site parking and staging for construction. The conditions of approval require the finalized CMP details to be submitted and approved to the satisfaction of the Planning Director, prior to the issuance of the building permit. -Commercial activity in the right-of-way on Commercial Road has been an ongoing issue. The applicant has demonstrated, through this application, that all commercial Planning Commission Staff Report July 24, 2024 – Page 2 of 8 CUP-2024-0003 activity will be contained within the site. The conditions of approval state that no commercial activity of any kind will occur on City streets and the non-compliance of this condition will result in the revocation of the Conditional Use Permit. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission make the required Findings and approve the application, subject to attached conditions. BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE: Pursuant to the Municipal Code Section 2.60.50.(F), disclosure obligations do not apply to applicants that are a publicly-traded corporation. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The existing site contains a one-story masonry structure and associated parking spaces and storage for the functions of the United Postal Service (UPS) as a package distribution center. While the use was established prior to the current requirement for a CUP, Section 94.01.00 of the Code requires a new CUP to facilitate the intensification of this use, which will include the expansion of the existing building with an addition to the existing masonry structure and replacing the existing “portable distribution center” units with structures identified as a “mobile distribution center”. The “mobile distribution center”, also referred to as MDC, are units made of masonry walls, roll-up doors, wooden bumpers, and metal stairs leading into the space. This project will also address current design requirements for the parking lot located at the north end of the property which was installed without required approvals. A separate application for Minor Architectural review was submitted for the proposed additions and site changes at a staff level review. This application is to review the request for a CUP involving the intensification of the transportation terminal use for package distribution in the M-1-P zone district. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The subject property is approximately 245,012 sf in size and is located on North Commercial Road and East Alejo Road. The adjacent parcels to the south are vacant, the parcels to the west and north are fully developed with uses that are permitted in the M-1-P zone district, and the parcel abutting the property to the east is the runway for the Palm Springs International Airport. The existing one-story masonry building was originally constructed in 1976 as a distribution center for delivery service and a part time garage for delivery vehicles. In 1982, permit records indicate that the building was expanded by approximately 10,742 sf and then another expansion of the conveyor platform was completed in 1987. Since its inception, the site has been occupied and operated by the United Parcel Service (UPS). Planning Commission Staff Report July 24, 2024 – Page 3 of 8 CUP-2024-0003 In 2023, a stop work order was placed on the property for illegal expansion of the parking area to the north of the site. Aerial images indicate that the asphalt expansion was completed some time around September 2020 and July 2021.In efforts to rectify the illegal parking lot, the applicant has submitted all necessary applications for review and is working with relevant City departments to reach compliance. Neighbors in the residential areas to the west have previously complained about ongoing commercial activity along Commercial Road, including the unauthorized parking of commercial vehicles and trailers on City streets. Following a meeting with members of the UPS executive team, the commercial vehicles and trailers are no longer parking along Commercial Road and are being managed internally within their commercial property. In addition, the applicant has submitted a Construction Management Plan (CMP) that outlines how they will continue to operate during construction without utilizing City streets for commercial activity and parking and without disrupting the adjacent residential areas. This will likely include temporarily leasing additional property for the storage of vehicles. Staff have included additional Conditions of Approval to codify the CMP and require that any off-site plans be finalized prior to the issuance of any building permit. Additionally, a Condition of Approval has been included to clarify that no commercial activity or parking is permitted on City streets at any time during or following construction and that any violation will result in revocation of the CUP. The overall goal of this project are as follows: bring the parking and landscape areas into compliance with the City’s current regulations and standards, expand and replace the existing structure for operational improvements, and reconfigure the site to allow for all commercial activity to be conducted within the property boundaries.

FINDINGS – CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Section 94.02.00 of the Palm Springs Zoning Code (PSZC) requires that the following five conditions be met in order to approve a Conditional Use Permit. Staff has analyzed these findings in order below. Planning Commission Staff Report July 24, 2024 – Page 6 of 8 CUP-2024-0003 Criteria and Findings [PSZC 94.02.00(B)(6)] Compliance a. That the use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by this Zoning Code. Y The project site is located within the M-1-P, Planning Research and Development Park zone. Pursuant to PSZC Section 92.16.01(D)(15) Truck and Transportation Terminal, further defined in the definitions as “facilities for loading, unloading, and transferring passengers, baggage, and incidental freight between modes of transportation” is an allowed use subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed use of the property as a transportation terminal for package distribution is a commercial use that is consistent with other commercial and industrial uses immediately adjacent to the site. The proposed updates to the site, specifically parking expansion, will allow for all commercial activity to be contained within the site boundaries. b. That the use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the general plan and is not detrimental to existing uses or to future uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located. Y The project site is designated IND (Industrial) in the General Plan. Industrial uses include research and development parks, light manufacturing, laboratories, and industrial services. The delivery and distribution services are provided throughout the day between the hours of 9 AM to 6 PM. On a daily basis, there are around 60 package vehicles parked on the site and approximately 49 vehicles parked inside the structure. The property contains anywhere from 8 to 18 trailers on the site. The surrounding uses include storage and the airport. The proposed use is harmonious with the surrounding area and does not create a deterrent to future industrial and commercial uses. c. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate such use, including yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping and other features required in order to adjust such use to those existing or permitted future uses of land in the neighborhood. Y Planning Commission Staff Report July 24, 2024 – Page 7 of 8 CUP-2024-0003 Criteria and Findings [PSZC 94.02.00(B)(6)] Compliance The UPS facility has been operating from this location since the construction of the building in 1976. Since then, the original structure on the 5.62 acre site was expanded in the 1980s. Additional parking and an upgrade to the “Mobile Distribution Center” units are proposed as part of this project. All proposed structures will comply with the dimensional requirements and other standards such as shading requirements for the parking lot pursuant to Section 93.06.00.C.3(a). The proposed reconfiguration of the site will allow all commercial and employee parking to be contained within the site and rectify any commercial activity that was previously conducted outside the property boundaries. In recent months, the applicant has responded to on-going complaints regarding commercial activity along Commercial Road by removing all commercial vehicles and trailers off the public streets. The proposed site improvements are necessary to resolve this issue. d. That the site for the proposed use relates to the streets and highways properly designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be generated by the proposed use. Y The use of the site will not change and the physical expansion to the building itself is minimal given that most of the floor area accounted for the expansion (approximately 2,666 sf) is related to the replacement of existing distribution center units that are currently in use. The expansion of the parking area and landscape improvements will address concerns related to the full containment of all commercial activity on site. Based on the trip generation assessment submitted, it was determined that the expansion will not result in any significant impacts to traffic. e. That the conditions to be imposed and shown on the approved site plan are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare and may include minor modification of the zone’s property development standards. Y All conditions imposed as part of the Conditional Use Permit are intended to minimize negative impacts on the surrounding community and protect public health, safety, and general welfare. The attached conditions of approval include necessary requirements from the following City Departments: Planning, Engineering, and Fire. In addition, the applicant will adhere to the details of a Construction Management Plan (CMP) which will ensure the timeline and phasing of the project by providing details on the location of a remote parking lot during the site grading and stormwater treatment phase of the project, and the logistics behind delivery and storage of construction material and heavy equipment to the site and how right-of-way limitations will be addressed. Planning Commission Staff Report July 24, 2024 – Page 8 of 8 CUP-2024-0003 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: This project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15301 (Existing Facilities). The proposed scope of work qualifies as an alteration to an existing facility that will not result in an increase of more than 50 percent of the floor area. CONCLUSION: A transportation terminal for package distribution is considered an appropriate use through a CUP within the M-1-P zone district. The proposed application to expand the use of the existing building and parking area will allow for the operations of the current business to be maintained within the property boundaries, as indicated in the submitted application. Staff recommends approval, subject to conditions. PREPARED BY: Sarah Yoon, Associate Planner REVIEWED BY: Christopher Hadwin, Planning Director ATTACHMENTS: A. Vicinity Map B. Aerial Map C.

The proposed updates to the site, specifically parking expansion, will allow for all commercial activity to be contained within the site boundaries. 2. That the use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the general plan and is not detrimental to existing uses or to future uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located. The project site is designated IND (Industrial) in the General Plan. Industrial uses include research and development parks, light manufacturing, laboratories, and industrial services. The delivery and distribution services are provided throughout the day between the hours of 9 AM to 6 PM. On a daily basis, there are around 60 package vehicles parked on the site and approximately 49 vehicles parked inside the structure. The property contains anywhere from 8 to 18 trailers on the site. The surrounding uses include storage and the airport. The proposed use is harmonious with the surrounding area and does not create a deterrent to future industrial and commercial uses. 3. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate such use, including yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping and other features required in order to adjust such use to those existing or permitted future uses of land in the neighborhood. The UPS facility has been operating from this location since the construction of the building in 1976. Since then, the original structure on the 5.62-acre site was expanded in the 1980s. Additional parking and an upgrade to the “Mobile Distribution Center” units are proposed as part of this project.

The proposed site improvements are necessary to resolve this issue. 4. That the site for the proposed use relates to the streets and highways properly designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be generated by the proposed use. The use of the site will not change and the physical expansion to the building Resolution No. Page 3 itself is minimal given that most of the floor area accounted for the expansion (approximately 2,666 sf) is related to the replacement of existing distribution center units that are currently in use. The expansion of the parking area and landscape improvements will address concerns related to the full containment of all commercial activity on site. Based on the trip generation assessment submitted, it was determined that the expansion will not result in any significant impacts to traffic. 5. That the conditions to be imposed and shown on the approved site plan are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare and may include minor modification of the zone’s property development standards. All conditions imposed as part of the Conditional Use Permit are intended to minimize negative impacts on the surrounding community and protect public health, safety, and general welfare.

PALM SPRINGS, CA 92262 EXISTING “PORTABLE DISTRIBUTION CENTERS (PDC)” (IMAGES BELOW) TO BE REPLACED WITH “MOBILE DISTRIBUTION CENTERS (MDC)” DATE: February 8, 2024 TO: Sarah Yoon, City of Palm Springs FROM: Charlene So, Urban Crossroads, Inc. JOB NO: 15775-02 TG Memo UPS EXPANSION TRIP GENERATION ASSESSMENT Urban Crossroads, Inc. is pleased to provide the following Trip Generation Assessment for the UPS Expansion development (Project), which is located at 650 N. Commercial Road in the City of Palm Springs (City). The purpose of this analysis is to determine whether additional traffic analysis is necessary for the proposed Project. The following assessment is based on the City’s Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines dated July 2020 (City Guidelines). PROPOSED PROJECT The proposed Project is an expansion to the existing UPS Distribution Facility located at 650 N. Commercial Road. The existing UPS Distribution Facility is 23,586 square feet (22,398 square foot distribution facility plus 1,188 square feet of interior ancillary office uses) which was first opened in 1976 (per the original 1975 approval for 12,844 square feet and permits associated with a subsequent expansion in 1982 of 10,742 square feet). The site provides package distribution/delivery for the surrounding local community. The facility does not store any packages – all packages that arrive are sorted and distributed daily. The site currently also has temporary structures totaling 1,425 square feet on the eastern end of the building. A 368 square foot expansion is proposed on the western end of the existing building along with a 2,666 square foot expansion on the eastern end of the building which would replace the 1,425 square feet of temporary structures. As such, the net increase of building space is 1,609 square feet (368 square feet + 2,666 square feet – 1,425 square feet). The preliminary site plan is shown on Exhibit 1. The existing site currently accommodates 122 parking stalls on-site. 37 parking stalls will be removed to accommodate the proposed expansion and 165 new parking stalls will be accommodated within the new northern parking lot for a total of 250 parking stalls. In addition, there are 14 additional package truck stalls and 14 additional trailer parking stalls. Access to the site will remain the same as the existing condition (no changes are proposed). Sarah Yoon, City of Palm Springs February 8, 2024 Page 2 of 6 15775-02 TG Memo EXHIBIT 1: PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN TRIP GENERATION EXISTING TRAFFIC Trip generation represents the amount of traffic that is attracted and produced by a development and is based upon the specific land uses planned for a given project. In order to develop the traffic characteristics of the proposed Project (expansion), trip-generation statistics for the existing UPS Distribution Facility were developed based on driveway counts collected. As noted previously, the existing UPS Distribution Facility is 23,586 square feet (22,398 square foot distribution facility plus 1,188 square feet of interior ancillary office uses of permitted uses) and includes 1,425 square feet on the eastern end of the building of temporary structures (not currently permitted). In an effort to understand the existing traffic associated with the existing use, traffic counts were collected at all applicable driveways on Tuesday, January 9, 2024, through Thursday, January 11, 2024. Table 1 summarizes the average existing trip generation based on the count data collected over the three consecutive days for the existing UPS Distribution Facility. The existing site, which currently includes the non-permitted 1,425 square feet of temporary structures, currently generates an average of 817 two-way trips per day, with 85 trips during the AM peak hour and 52 trips during the PM peak hour. Trip generation for the existing use has been reflected in both actual vehicles and passenger car equivalent (PCE) on Table 1. The trip generation identified for Sarah Yoon, City of Palm Springs February 8, 2024 Page 3 of 6 15775-02 TG Memo the existing use will be utilized to develop a unique trip generation rate and resulting trip generation for the proposed expansion. A detailed summary of the count data collected is provided in Attachment A. TABLE 1: EXISTING TRIP GENERATION FOR UPS DISTRIBUTION FACILITY PCE factors were applied to the trip generation rates for heavy trucks (large 2-axles, 3-axles, 4+- axles). PCEs allow the typical “real-world” mix of vehicle types to be represented as a single, standardized unit, such as the passenger car, to be used for the purposes of capacity and level of service analyses. The PCE factors are consistent with the recommended PCE factors used for other projects within the City (and per the County’s guidelines). The existing UPS Distribution Facility currently generates an average of 1,016 two-way PCE trips per day, with 91 PCE trips during the AM peak hour and 69 PCE trips during the PM peak hour. Table 2 summarizes the Project trip generation rates which have been calculated by dividing the total trips shown on Table 1 by the existing 25,011 square feet of building space to develop a trip generation rate on a per thousand square foot basis (23,586 square feet plus 1,425 square feet of temporary structures).

As shown in Table 3, the permitted use generates 772 vehicle trip-ends per day with 81 AM peak hour trips and 48 PM peak hour trips (actual vehicles). The permitted use generates 960 PCE vehicle trip-ends per day with 86 PCE AM peak hour trips and 64 PCE PM peak hour trips.

The trips associated with the existing facility have been utilized to determine potential trips associated with the expansion as opposed to using the trip generation rates published in the latest Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition, 2021) for a speculative parcel delivery warehouse facility. A 368 square foot expansion is proposed on the western end of the existing building along with a 2,666 square foot expansion on the eastern end of the building which would replace the 1,425 square feet of temporary structures. For the purposes of this trip generation assessment, the proposed Project will be evaluated assuming the total square footage of 3,034, without taking credit for the 1,425 square feet of temporary structures that will be replaced as this trip generation was not accounted for in the original entitlements. The trip generation summary illustrating daily, and peak hour trip generation estimates for the proposed Project are summarized on Table 4 for actual vehicles and PCE. Any intersection operations analysis for a project would need to utilize the PCE trip generation consistent with the City’s Guidelines. The proposed Project is anticipated to generate 102 vehicle trip-ends per day with 9 AM peak hour trips and 6 PM peak hour trips (actual vehicles). In comparison the Project is anticipated to generate 124 PCE vehicle trip-ends per day with 11 PCE AM peak hour trips and 8 PCE PM peak hour trips.

AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour Sarah Yoon, City of Palm Springs February 8, 2024 Page 6 of 6 15775-02 TG Memo TABLE 4: PROJECT TRIP GENERATION SUMMARY FINDINGS The City Guidelines indicate that development projects that generate a net increase of 100 or more peak hour vehicle trips (without pass-by reductions) would require the preparation and submittal of a Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) that evaluates level of service (LOS) at off-site study area intersections. The Project is anticipated to generate fewer than 100 net new peak hour trips during the morning and evening peak hours and would also contribute fewer than 50 peak hour trips to any off-site intersection (both in actual vehicles and PCE). As such, additional peak hour traffic operations analysis is not necessary based on the City’s Guidelines. The City’s scoping form is provided in Attachment B.

First Avenue, Suite 200 T: 626-447-2500 Arcadia, CA 91006-3202 F: 626-447-2501 Construction Management Plan for UPS Project by Licha Construction Introduction Licha Construction is committed to delivering the UPS Palm Springs project with excellence, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing operations while adhering to timelines and budget constraints. This plan outlines the strategies and procedures Licha Construction will implement to manage the construction activities efficiently, ensuring safety, quality, and communication throughout the project duration. Project Overview The project involves multiple construction activities, including site grading, parking lot refurbishment, installation of a stormwater treatment retention basin, and expansion of the existing building. These activities are crucial for enhancing UPS's operational capacity and sustainability. Given the nature of the project, a comprehensive management plan is essential to coordinate tasks, manage resources, and maintain clear communication with UPS and all stakeholders. Timeline and Phasing The project is scheduled to commence in January 2025. The initial phase however, will involve the preparation of the remote parking lot which will commence in November, 2024; which UPS will lease to continue its operations without interruption. This preparatory work is critical to ensure UPS's shipping activities remain unaffe cted during the main construction phases which will be displaced by the required on-site operations. Please note that the remote lot location has yet to be determined. Following the setup of the remote parking facility, site grading will begin. This phase involves leveling and preparing the ground for subsequent construction activities. Site grading is expected to take approximately one month, depending on weather conditions and site-specific challenges. Once the site grading is completed, the focus will shift to the underground utilities (stormwater and electrical) and refurbishing the parking lot. This will include resurfacing, re-striping, and improving the overall layout to enhance traffic flow, safety and parking efficiency. This process is anticipated to take nine weeks. Concurrently, construction of the stormwater treatment retention basin will commence. This installation is a crucial component, designed to manage runoff. The basin construction will span approximately two months including the necessary landscaping. License No. CA 102147 HI 30286 NV 0082712 www.LichaConstruction.com The final phase involves the expansion of the existing building. This will be a significant undertaking given that UPS will continue to operate and service the city of Palm Springs. This build will require coordination with multiple trades and close coordination with on-site UPS operations management. The expansion will include consolidated distribution space, fire sprinklers and minor ADA upgrades in order to provide for UPS's growing operational needs and those of the expanding city. This phase is projected to last two months, with careful planning to ensure integration with the existing structure and minimal disruption to ongoing operations. Logistics and Coordination Effective logistics management is crucial for the success of this project. Licha Construction will establish a site office to coordinate daily activities and serve as a communication hub. Regular meetings with UPS representatives will be scheduled to review progress, address any concerns, and make necessary adjustments to the plan. To mitigate the impact on UPS operations, deliveries of construction materials and equipment will be scheduled during off-peak hours (usually midday). This strategy will minimize congestion and ensure smooth operation of UPS's logistics activities. Additionally, Licha Construction will employ traffic management personnel to direct vehicles and maintain safe access to the site. Safety and Quality Control Safety is a top priority for Licha Construction. A comprehensive safety plan will be implemented, including regular training sessions for all personnel, routine safety inspections, and strict adherence to OSHA regulations. Safety officers will be present on-site to monitor compliance and address any issues promptly. Quality control measures will be embedded throughout the construction process. Licha Construction will employ a dedicated quality assurance team to oversee all aspects of the project. Regular inspections and testing will be conducted to ensure that all work meets the highest standards of quality and complies with project specifications. Environmental Considerations The installation of the stormwater treatment retention basin highlights the project's commitment to environmental stewardship. This basin will effectively manage stormwater runoff and reduce the risk of flooding. Additionally, all construction activities will adhere to environmental regulations, with efforts to minimize dust, noise, and waste. Communication and Reporting Clear and consistent communication is essential for the success of this project. Licha Construction will maintain an open line of communication with UPS and the City of Palm Springs building inspector through regular updates and progress reports. A project management software will be utilized to track milestones, manage documentation, and facilitate real-time communication among all stakeholders. Weekly progress meetings will be held with UPS to review the status of the project, discuss upcoming activities, and address any concerns. These meetings will ensure that UPS is fully informed and involved in the decision- making process, fostering a collaborative working relationship. Conclusion Licha Construction is dedicated to delivering a successful project for UPS in Palm Springs. Through meticulous planning, effective coordination, and a commitment to safety and quality, we will ensure that the construction activities are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards. By maintaining clear communication and minimizing disruptions to UPS operations, we aim to achieve a seamless construction experience that enhances UPS's operational capabilities and sustainability.
