THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. AUTHORITY. This ordinance is adopted pursuant to the provisions of Government Code Section 65858. SECTION 2 . URGENCY ORDINANCE - FINDINGS. The City after receiving the Jani-Jerdi Vision Report for the redevelopment of the downtown and outlying sphere: areas, one of which is identified as the Southern Sphere, embarked on a Request for Qualifications/Request for Proposals I;RFQ/RFP) to attract a master developer(s) for this "vision" . The Southern Sphere was identified as the luxury sphere and in Phase I of the process, one proposal was received to plan and implement the development of the area. The RFQ/RFP proposed a Phase II process of developing a master plan for each of the proposed spheres. The planning ;process is limited to an eighteen month period, and the City Council finds that allowing new or expansion development during this time frame would be detrimental to the final master plan for the area, and would possibly disrupt or significantly delay the orderly transformation of the study area into the .luxury sphere envisioned in the Vision Plan commissioned previously by the City Council. Based on the foregoing and other sufficient evidence, the City Council. further finds that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health safety or welfare and that the approval of additional subdivisions, use permits, variances, building permits,, or any other applicable entitlement for use which is required in order to comply with a zoning ordinance would result in a threat to public health, safety, or welfare,. Therefore, the City Council declares it to be urgent that this ordinance become effective immediately upon adoption. SECTION 3 . CONSTRUCTION AND APPLICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION PROHIBITED.
