The Palm Springs Classic project includes a Planned Development District that proposes construction of up to a 400 -room hotel, tennis complex, up to 500 two-bedroom Vacation Ownership Units (VOU's), research and development facilities, commercial/retail and light industrial uses that comply with the M-1-P(Planned Research and Development)Zone, and finally, a 27-hole golf course on approximately 365.9 acres. The tentative tract map for the site was recommended for approval at the July 26, 1995, Planning Commission meeting. The map was then approved at the September 6, 1995, City Council meeting. The map would have expired on September 6, 1997; however, as a result ofAB771-Chapter46 of the 1996 State Statutes,one additional yearwas provided forthe map. Thus,the new expiration date was September 6, 1998. An additional extension was granted by the City Council for the period from September 6, 1998 to September 6, 1999 on November 11, 1998. If approved,this will be the second time extension approved by the City with the mandatory extension granted by the state. 5 -an I The first phase of the project which includes grading, the golf course, infrastructure, flood control and landscaping has been pushed back several years from the original projected completion date of 1995; however,the remaining phases should not be affected. Thus, build -out is still anticipated to be completed between the years of 2005 and 2010. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The Planning Commission,at its November 10, 1999 meeting, recommended approval of the proposed TTM 28033 subject to the original conditions of approval; the vote was 5-0-0-2. 4Douglasqvans, irector of Planning and Building _ 140Z ,,� Dallas Flicek, Interim City Manager ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Palm Springs (Palm Springs Classic) provide a more complete explanation as to why the Planning Commission and City Council should grant an extension of our approved Planned District 231 and Tentative Tract Map No.28033. D.T.Pahn Springs has worked without the assistance of the City in assembling over 365 acres of land in the City of Patin Springs from eleven separate owners. This land is now owned by D.T. Patin Springs in fee simple and represents the largest undeveloped parcel within the City. Thera are no significant envhonmentat problems related to it. D.T. Patin Springs has spent a great deal of time and money planning the Palm Springs Classic Project and has paid all fees required for those approvals and continues to pay property tax. The principals of D.T. Patin Springs live in Germany. They have been seeking a joint venture development par =in the United States to take an equity position and oversee the day to day operations of the development. Because of the magnitude of the size of the development, and the need to find an appropriate and user, no satisfactory agreement has yet been consummated. The only way D.T.'s successful development of this project can occur is to keep the entitlements,earned and paid for, in effect. The Palm Springs Classic Project will be a significant economic generator for the City of Palm Springs. We are unaware of any gain to the City by not continuing the extension requested. The genesis of this Project and the assembling of this axxeage were in response to the City's General Plan envisioning a destination resort at this location. We continue to be ✓ffi{ �� • l � Doug Evans September 29, 1999 Page 2 I �(� • optimistic that this will occur. Therefore, we hereby respectfully apply for an extension of one (1)year of the Planned Development District 231,which was approved on October 19, 1994,and subsequently approved by the City Council for the third one-year extension to October 19, 1999. We also request an extension of one year (1) for our Tentative Tract Map No.28033 approval which request has been submitted by our Civil Engineer,Mainiero, Smith and Associates. The fees for the extension applications, in the amount of $550.00, representing the combined Planned Development District extension fee and the fee for the Extension of Time for the Tentative Tract Map No. 28033 has previously been provided to your office.
