P.D. 150 - PALM CANYON PLAZA, LTD. Recommendation: That the Council approve planned development district to construct 310-room hotel , including 60-ft height on a portion thereof, on property on the NE corner of Mesquite Avenue and South Palm Canyon Drive. Planning Director reviewed his report, dated January 4, 1984, noting that it had been reviewed in considerable detail at the last study session, and stating that relative to the high- rise and parking issue, the Planning Commission found that there is substantial compliance with the Zoning Text, but it did require an additional 17 parking spaces, and a parking management plan to be submitted with final development plans ; that the Commission and Planning Staff concluded that the (116) amount of highrise building mass would be less obtrusive to the neighborhood than a C-1 development which would allow a 30-ft building height up to a 5-ft setback from the property line; that the proposed highrise is 300 ft from the building property line; that the site contains 65% open space; that traffic studies done for project previously proposed on the site, was re-analyzed and conclusion reached that the hotel would generate far less than the commercial project; and that it is not expected that a 1-block widening from the intersection east, would be helpful , but there will be further evaluation of this and right-turn only concept. He displayed site plans, elevations and renderings, and noted employee parking area contemplated, and stated that how many spaces will be needed, and where employees will parking will be part of the parking management plan submitted with the final development plans; and that 125-140 employee shift count is preliminarily estimated. In answer to question by Council , Planning Director stated that holding to the maximum height limited permitted in the underlying zone, would result in lost surface space, a spreading of the units over the site, loss of parking, and loss of amenities being offered in the project. He stated that the Planning Commission felt the site was an extension of the downtown core; is flat; and is not a deviation from the highrise policy that would cause a precedent that would be regretted later; and that although it was a deviation, the Planning Commission strongly endorsed the project. Mayor declared the hearing open. Steven Crow, developer, stated that eliminating certain phases would create a shortfall in their planning time; that he felt the project was consistent with what the City wanted accomplished ; that concept of a roof-top restaurant was suggested by a number of people that such a facility would be desirable in the Valley; that the restaurant will not exceed 3500 sq. ft. , and will be 300 ft from the property line; that by right-of-zone, something far more obtrusive to the neighbor- hood could have been constructed ; and the question of additional parking will be addressed in the final development plans. Kevin Boyle, 555 San Lorenzo, owner of property opposite the proposed site, spoke in opposition to the height limit and density; that, in his opinion, the project is not in keeping with projects traditionally desired in Palm Springs ; and that he circulated a petition in the neighborhood, signed by 43 residents, expressing concerns related to floss of view, high density, traffic problems, pollution and depreciation of values. O), 13 Council Minutes 1-4-84 Page 3 2. P.D. 150 (Continued) He noted comments in letter from Mrs. Molly Winston, copies of which were made available to the Council and are on file in the Office of the City Clerk, expressing concerns regarding traffic. He stated that residents also wish to point out the impact additional traffic will have on the elementary school on Mesquite Avenue. He requested a continuance, in order to permit the residents to consolidate their concerns and objections and to meet with the developer, who previously indicated to him that he would be willing to do so. CONT'D There being no further appearances, Mayor declared the hearing (116) closed. In answer to question by Council , Director of Community Develop- ment stated that a church tower on Sunrise Way was allowed to exceed the height limit of the underlying zone (45 ft. vs. 15 ft. allowed) under a POD process, and that he was not aware of other such cases where occupied living space was involved. Councilman Smith stated that the highrise provision was removed from other zones sometime ago, and he was concerned that a precedent might be established, and before doing so, the Council should discuss the highrise policy. Councilman Doyle stated he thought it would be beneficial for both the developer and residents to discuss the project, and that the Council should explore the current highrise policy to see if the project will be a significant departure. He stated there are other areas where major hotels have been built and good projects are built around them and property values increase; and that the project could only add to the value of the surrounding properties. Councilman Maryanov stated that it does not do the entire neighborhood any good to leave the property in the condition in which it has been for the past years; and that he has concerns about the parking issue, noting that non-hotel guests will be attracted to the facility; and he agreed that the highrise policy and implication of the proposed project should be discussed. Councilman Foster suggested that the Council meet in joint study session with the Planning Commission to review the high- rise issue; and he also would like the issue of widening of Mesquite Avenue addressed. Councilman Smith stated that he was not opposed to the project, per se, but wanted a full discussion as to the precedent and implementation of current policy; noting that the Council is considering a site in the vicinity for a convention center, and the possible impact of highrise in that regard should be discussed. Mr. Crow stated that he offered to meet with the residents after the Planning Commission meeting, but was not contacted; that he will be available during the following week; and that it is paramount to avoid jeopardizing his financing, that the project not be delayed more than a few weeks. He stated that he is prepared to submit proposals in the next week to address the the parking issues. Council Minutes 1-4-84 Page 4 2. P.D. 150 (Continued) It was moved by Doyle, seconded by Smith, and unanimously CONT'D carried, that this matter be continued for 30 days, during 1:116) which the City Council and Planning Commission meet at the next non-agenda study session for review and discussion as noted; and that the developer meet with the residents. 3. PUBLIC NUISANCE ABATEMENTS - ACCOUNTING REPORTS On December 21 , 1983, Council received the Proceedings & Accounting Reports for various abatements throughout the City, primarily for weed removal , and the City Clerk set this as time for public hearings thereon. 1:57) Building & Safety Director reported that there were over 400 properties cleaned, of which 41 have not paid the costs related thereto. He stated that of the proposed Resolutions, confirming the reports, No. 3-C-28 paid this date; and there was an error on 3-C-21 , which he described, noting that the total cost was $530.02, rather than $580.02 as shown on the report, and the difference has been disclosed to the property owner. He described the procedures, outlined the (Municipal Code, and stated that those were followed to the letter. Mayor declared the hearing open. Bill Howlett, Box 31 , Palm Springs, presented photographs of his lot, stating that the property was posted in 1978, after which, he removed dead brush and left only living plants ; that the property was again posted in December, 1982, and a substantial cleaning was accomplished thereafter; that he lives a block away from the lot and, perhaps under poor advice, he ignored the first posting notice early last summer, believing it to be an error, since he had done a lot of work since December, 1982, and knew there was nothing on the lot. It was the consensus of the Council that this abatement be returned to staff for review. Lee Halison, 5101 Showboat Lane, Cathedral City, stated that he repossessed the lot in December; thatt when he owned it before, he had the lot cleaned for considerably less ; that he spoke with Accurate Maintenance, who did not have records as to how long it took to clean the lot; that he is willing to pay for the cleaning, but felt $500 for a few hours work was not a fair price; that the dates in the report are erroneous; and that the two bids which the City received were from the same bidder. Building & Safety Director stated that the completion date and billing date are July 25, 1983, which was an error shown on the report; that two bids were obtained, and the lowest was accepted ; that code procedures were (allowed; and recited the names of the two companies which bid on the lot, i .e. , Underground Unlimited and Accurate Maintenance. City Manager stated that substantial rainfall resulted in more growth, which when dried caused a dangerous fire hazard recognized by the Fire Department as well as concerned citizens in the community and complaints were received ; and that the Code Enforcement section did a great deal of work in a short period of time. 00') Council Minutes 1-4-84 Page 5 3. PUBLIC NUISANCES (Continued) Councilman Maryanov stated that the City tries to get the lowest bid; that, unfortunately, bids are often higher for the City than in the private sector; that he was sympathetic to Mr. Halison' s position of being caught in the middle of the abatement process, but he felt this was a very necessary program, and there was an acute fire hazard. CONT'D It was moved by Doyle, seconded by Maryanov, and unanimously (57) carried, that Resolution 14850, confirming the report and filing the lien with regard to 3-C-28 (Halison) , be adopted. Heinz Zipperle, 39900 Desert Sun Drive, reviewed his letter submited, a copy of which is on file in the Office of the City Clerk, stating that his address was changed with the taxing and other agencies, but he has not been able to get the County Recorder to change the address, and he did not receive notices; that he has kept the lot cleaned, including hauling debris from the lot to the trash container on his property nearby; that he has cleaned the lot a depth of 110 ft, although his property is less than 100 ft. deep; that there is an easement at the rear of the property which has overgrowth on it and it should be ordered to be cleaned. Building & Safety Director stated that he spoke with Mr. Zipperle several months ago after the bill was sent; that he reviewed the work accomplished with the contractor to whom the bid was awarded, and was advised that the lot was cleaned from the pole to the street side of Mr. Zipperle's lot; that the property line is 7-ft behind the curb, and Mr. Zipperle in previous discussion indicated that he cleaned 99-ft from the curb. It was the consensus of the Council that this abatement be referred to staff to work with the property owner in determining the property line, and in view of such, ascertain whether the correct property was charged for the abatement. There being no further appearances, the hearing was closed. City Manager stated that following review of the two items returned to staff, those may be brought back to the Council for action. Resolutions 14851 through 14890, confirming reports and filing liens, were presented; after which, it was moved by Doyle, seconded by Doyle, seconded by Foster, and unanimously carried, that Resolutions 14851 through 14890 be adopted, and recorded with the Tax Assessor and County Recorder. PUBLIC COMMENTS: a) Jeremy Crocker, 330 W. Arenas Road, read a prepared state- ment, a copy of which is on file in the Office of the City Clerk, relative to the Desert Fashion Plaza project, stating that the City Manager has a conflict of interest, based on statements which he overheard, and questioned whether the Council members individually associate them- selves with the actions proposed by the City Manager and staff which have brought the project to the point at which it is at present. 006 Council Minutes 1-4-84 Page 6 Councilman Foster stated that the City Manager and staff work has been done at the direct request of the City Council , in consultation with it; that: the work was not done by the City Manager acting on his own, nor does he speak for himself, but on behalf of the City Council ; and that he has followed the explicit. orders and wishes of the Council . City Attorney stated that it should tie noted that prior to any actions concerning the Desert Fashion Plaza expansion, and on at least two subsequent occasions, the, City Manager consulted with him whether there was any conflict, and he advised him that he had none; and that on the occasion when questioned in a recent Council meeting, the City Manager stated that he had no conflict, as had been advised by the City Attorney, and which he still held as his legal opinion. Councilman Maryanov commended the City Manager for superb action, and responsiveness to the needs and wants of the City Council , and for the time and wort: that he has spent on this project. b) Barbara Whitney presented a petition, purportedly signed by 100 people, favoring a salary range of $15-25,000 per year for the Mayor. LEGISLATIVE ACTION: 4. MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT - ROOM TAX INCREASE Mayor stated that the Council would receive public testimony on recommendation to increase the room tax from 7% to 9%, at this time, and then schedule the matter for a second oppor- tunity for public testimony, prior to consideration by the Council . (1410) City Manager stated that the history of a possible increase dates back 2-3 years, and was undefinable until about one year ago, as to when and if that would happen ; that the Council concluded that to proceed without any further staff time or possible City dollars to achieve a convention center, would not make sense, if at the end it would not be able to raise the tax to help pay for the facility; thiat the Touche-Ross study showed the only success would be for the City to have some of the tax go in that direction; that in January, 1983, separate meetings were held with major and small hotel owners, at which critical conditions which had to take place, each contingent on the other, if a convention center were to proceed, were reviewed - the first of which was that the room tax be increased to 9%; that he believed it was the feeling of the Council that the majority of those who were heard from were in favor, but there were those who were not in favor; that at the January 19, 1983 regular Council meeting, the critical conditions were again referred to, and it was restated that if the there is a commitment to a convention center and spending more money, it would be very likely in the future that the room tax would have to be increased; and that he believed it appropriate to continue the decision and deal with it at such point in time when it is appropriate to increase the tax. He stated there has been a lot of history on this subject, and it is not an "all of a sudden" issue before the Council . Council Minutes 1-4-84 Page 7 4. ROOM TAX AMENDMENT (Continued) Economic Development & Housing Director reviewed his staff report, dated January 4, 1983, noting that financing a conven- tion center consists of three major components, i .e. , a redevelopment area, an increase in the room tax to 9%, and additional hotel and retail development adjacent to the facility; that a redevelopment area has been adopted; that agreement has been entered into with SENCA as master developer; and the remaining issue of the tax has not been dealt with; that a 2% increase would produce $1 ,435,000, which includes existing and new hotels; that the convention center is projected (140) to add 107,000 convention delegates; and that the increased tax is recommended for the overall financial package of the City. City Attorney stated that the existing tax contains a provision, making it a special tax under Prop 13 and the Farrell case; that he has prepared a revised ordinance, rather than making it a special tax, it would be an added 2% tax to be put in the general fund; that he has selected an arbitrary imposition date of the ordinance of July 1 , 1984, but would be effective immediately upon passage, as is true with any tax ordinance. In answer to question by Council , City Attorney stated that the tax can be limited to a one year period, or other time frame., however, before making such a decision, he would prefer researching other possibilities, because of changes occurring in regulations related to the Council ' s ability to adopt, or not adopt, a tax, and he would not want to limit that ability if it meant that after a year, the tax could not be re-adopted; and perhaps there is some way of tying to a sunset clause, and he would like bond counsel opinions, as well . Public comments were made, as follows: Jim Stewart, 900 El Mirador, suggested that if the tax is implemented, it be at the "new" season (November, December, January) to consider brochures which have already been printed, and business solicited and obtained in connection with the Olympics; that he favors the convention center; and suggested a task force approach be taken to look at the issues, consisting of City Council , staff and hotels representatives. Marilyn Baker, on behalf of Mel Haber, spoke in support of a convention center, urging any increased tax be earmarked for that purpose, and that it not be imposed until after summer. Bob Riddle, 601 Grenfall , spoke concerning the impact of a 2% increase on small hotels, and that a convention center will not bring people to the smaller hotels; that a census of small hotels should taken; and that the tax will be put the price of rooms out of reach, leading to a chain of actions to drive small hotels out of business. Alfred Affinitta, 2000 Golf Club Drive, stated that as a real estate broker, the tax increase will result in loss of business for persons dealing in rentals. Art Nigro, Sheraton Plaza, spoke in favor of a convention center, and that he favors the increased tax, but not as pre- sented or before the convention center is definite; that a convention center will bring in more people than will be lost because the tax is increased; that the law should not be circum- vented by providing a slush fund, rather the issue should be put to an election; that he questions if a 2% increase would find its way to a convention center if it goes into the General Fund; and that any tax increase should not be imposed until the summer after a convention center is in place. �lJ Council Minutes 1-4-84 Page 8 4. ROOM TAX AMENDMENT (Continued) City Manager stated that there has been no attempt to circumvent the . law; that the fact remains that if 't.he Council raises the tax, it must go into the General Fund, and that is not a circumvention ; that it might be appropriate to raise the question on an election ballot, if a majority would prevail , but it would require a 2/3 vote, which he did not see as likely. Ted Hamscliff, Pepper Tree Inn, spoke in favor of a convention CONT"D center, and the tax increased, but requested its imposition (140) be deferred until January, 1985. Donald McDonald, Monkey Tree Hotel , commented on the asset of small hotels to the community, the need to protect that "entity" , and other comments relative to the number of rooms in the community which he made at the January, 1983 meetings. Jerry London, on behalf of Hilton-Riviera Hotel owners of this date, stated that many of the large hotels do not see a need for a convention center; that he favors an election ; that the community lacks population to support large shows needed to help convention centers succeed, e.g. , car shows, and that the proposed convention center is not large enough to handle such shows. Jackie Autry, 4200 E. Palm Canyon, stated that a 2% increase will discourage business, and she was more concerned about large convention business going to other cities, e.g. , San Diego, and Anaheim, which have more amenities than Palm Springs; that restrictive planning, Council , and administraive practices in the past have discouraged those amenities from happening; that the traffic problems must be addresssed; and that more attractions are needed, if the Council wants to address a convention center and more hotels. Council recognized the Temple golf course and Desert Fashion Plaza expansion projects as steps in that direction. Arthur Ackerman, Blue Palms Hotel , commented on his observation of the decline of Atlantic City, when it, increased taxes, and was only salvaged by instituting gambling. There were no further appearances. City Manager stated that a two week continuance would be too soon, and a 60-day continuance too long, and that the Council will be reviewing issues concerning the convention center in the next few weeks, and some certainty as to the increased funding may be needed. It was moved by Doyle, seconded by Maryanov, and unanimously carried, that this matter be continued to February 1 , 1984. 5. EMERGENCY ROOF REPAIRS Recommendation: That the Council award contract for roof repairs and reroofing various city facilities to E.R. Brown Roofing Company, in amount of $282,598; waive formal bid requirement; and amend the budget to appropriate additional $18,757, therefore. Report reviewed by General Operations (1117) Director. Minute Order 3329, awarding contract as recommended, and Resolu- tion 14891 , amending the budget, as recommended, were presented; after which, it was moved by Foster, seconded by Doyle, and unanimously carried, that Minute Order 3329 and Resolution 14891 be adopted. 009 Council Minutes 1-4-84 Page 9 6. MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT - PERSONNEL ORDINANCE Recommendation: That the Council amend the Personnel Ordinance. (Note: Hearing on new Personnel Rules, and second reading of Ordinance is scheduled or January 18, 1984) . Personnel Manager reviewed this item in detail at the last study session. City Clerk read title of the Ordinance, as follows: (110) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, REPEALING CHAPTER 2.40 AND ADDING A NEW CHAPTER 2.40 TO THE PALM SPRINGS MUNICIPAL CODE, REGULATING IHE PERSONNEL SYSTEM WITHIN THE CITY. It was moved by Doyle, seconded by Foster, and unanimously carried, that further reading be waived, and the Ordinance be introduced for first reading. 7. NOT USED 8. RENT CONTROL ORDINANCE On December 21 , 1983, Council continued consideration of the Rent Control Ordinance amendments and codification, pending further review regarding prospective tenants. Councilman Smith stated that the definition in the Initiative Ordinance failed to include prospective tenant, and he felt (85) adding it would change the intent of the ordinance, which per se, he did not have a problem with, rather changing intent of an ordinance approved by the voters. Councilman Doyle stated that he supports the ordinance clarific- ations, as proposed, without reference to prospective tenants. Councilman Maryanov stated that the definition section of the Initiative preceeds other sections which the City Attorney had construed as possibly including prospective tenants ; and that he did think the Initiative should be expanded. City Clerk read title of the Ordinance, without reference to prospective tenants, as follows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING AND CODIFYING AS TITLE FOUR OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE THE "ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS LIMITING RENTS ON RESIDENTIAL UNITS" HERETOFORE ADOPTED AT THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION HELD APRIL 8, 1980 It was moved by Doyle, seconded by Smith, and unanimously carried, that further reading be waived, and that the Ordinance (excludes prospective tenants) be introduced for first reading 9.
