PUBLIC HEARINGS:
1. P.D. 136A - WESTAR ASSOCIATES
Recommendation: That the Council approve amended Planned
Development District to allow a free-standing restaurant with
drive-through facilities on the NE corner of Racquet Club Road
and North Palm Canyon.
Director of Community Development reviewed his report dated
September 19, 1984 noting that an alternate Lheme has been
developed, which has not been presented to the Planning Com-
mission, showing the landscaping on Palm Canyon frontage if
ultimate right-of-way is improved; noting that the bulk of
landscaping will be behind the ultimate right-of-way line, and
the restaurant would be located at a level two to three feet
below the street. He stated that the Commission recommended
approval , and noted that details will be refinement and
brought back as part of the final development plan.
Mayor declared the hearing open.
Peter Koetting, 2400 North Palm Canyon, Westar, stated that he
felt that any question regarding the landscaping could be
resolved if the ultimate right of way is ever taken. He also
stated that there were no comments in discussions with the
Traffic Division, Architectural Advisory Committee, or Plan-
ning Commission, other than those questions related to widen-
ing of the street; and that signing for the restaurant would
be similar to the Carl 's Jr. facility at Tahquitz-McCallum and
Sunrise Way.
There were no further appearances, and the hearing was closed.
Councilman Foster stated that he has been opposed to drive-
through restaurants in any commercial zone and has not changed
his feeling in that regard, however, the Council has indicated
thaL it deems that a proper use and he would not continue in
his opposition. He stated he has concerns about the appear-
ance of the project in terms of the amount of area that would
remain in order to accommodate the berm and mounding, and
would be willing to be shown that it can work within the area
that would remain should the ultimate right-of-way be
improved.

1. P.D. 136A - WESTAR ASSOCIATES (Continued)
Councilman Maryanov stated that he approved of the concept,
but also wanted to be assured of the details of the Function-
ality of the design.
Mr. Koetting stated that they are looking at an 11. 'i"oot set-
back from the property line to the inside of the driveway and
a 2:1 ratio slope and determined that it would not affect the
ultimate right-of-way.
Director of Community Development stated that L.he actual
amount of right-of-way may vary, and several versions of the
cross section for the mounding and landscape area can be shown
in the Final plans for Council decision.
Resolution 15234, approving the Planned Development District
with the understanding that details of the landscaping and its
relationship to the ultimate right-of-way be provided, was
presented; after which, it was moved by Foster, seconded by
Maryanov, and unanimously carried, Smith abstaining and Birer
absent, that Resolution 15234 be adopted.
2. SIGN CASE 3.573 - P.S. MALL/MILLER'S OUTPOST
Consideration of appeal from Planning Commission conditions of
approval for identification sign for Miller's Outpost retail
store in the P.S. Mall .
Director of Community Development reviewed his report dated
September 19, 1984, stating that the appeal relates to the
color of the sign and that the applicant did not take excep-
tion to the Planning Commission 's denial of the portion of the
sign which would have stated "for Levis".
In answer to question by Council , Director of Community Devel-
opment stated that both the Vons and the Thrifty signs were
approved by the Planning Commission as a rust color and that
in the instance of the Thrifty sign, that color was the one
for which application had been submitted.
Mayor declared the hearing open.
Larry Stewart, 392 Elmer Court, Riverside, representing the
appellant stated that no exception is taken to the City's Sign
Ordinance in that it provides that a sign may have four colors
and that Miller's had requested two colors, i.e. , red and
yellow; and that his understanding of the Planning Commis-
sion's reasons for the denial of the use of red dealt with the
dislike of the color by the Council and Planning Commission,
and it was glaring and did not go, architecturally, with the
tile roof. He stated that the company would be wilding to use
a mat finish; that it has ninety stores that have red tile
roofs and use the red/yellow signs effectively; that the com-
pany uses signing as an extensive advertising media; that the
company has 232 stores for which millions of dollars are spent
on advertising throughout the State using this particular
sign; that at night, the signs at the Palm Springs Mall for
the Thrifty store becomes orange, and the Von's store sign
becomes red; that other signs throughout the community use
multiple-colored signs, such as the Tramway sign at the
entrance to the City, for which he felt a precedence had been
set many ,years ago; and that the Miller's Company will be an
excellent contribution to the Palm Springs community.
Tuck Broich, President of the Palm Springs Merchants and Citi-
zens Association, urged that the Council approve the request,
stating that the color is part of the sign and not its
entirety, and that the City could not control the content of

2 . SIGN CASE 3.573 - P.S. MALL/MILLER'S OUTPOST (Continued)
the sign, - e.g. "for Levis". He stated that this situation
illustrates the need for a clearly defined and updated Sign
Ordinance.
There being no further appearances, the Mayor declared the
hearing closed.
In answer to questions by Council ., Planning Director stated
that the Von 's store had asked for a red sign, but agreed to
the Planning Commission's condition for a rush color; and that
the Thrifty's sign was a conversion from a white sign, which
the company found to be ineffective, to the rust which came
about as a result of discussion with City staff.
Councilman Smith stated that one of the communities biggest
strengths is its Sign Ordinance, which provides policy to
regulate color and size; that it would not be fair to deviate
From that; and that the Council should uphold the denial .
Councilman Maryanov stated that he was not inherently or
intrinsically opposed to the color red and that multiple
colors are not basic to the discussion, but that rather the
fascia of the overall complex and the signing for the total
project; that this would not be a hardship for the corpora-
tion, in that the same family of sign and color is being
looked at and is consistent with its advertising policy, and
for the structure of the building; that it was his understand-
ing that the company did not include the deletion of "for
Levis" in its appeal ; and with the Thrifty and Von's signs in
place the Planning Commission action should be upheld.
Director of Community Development stated that Planning Commis-
sion review is required for any sign of 30 square feet or more
and that colors must be compatible with the sign program
established for the development.
Mayor stated that he agrees with the sign controls in the
Ordinance, but questioned whether red versus rust is a good
looking sign on the particular building.
It was moved by Smith, seconded by Maryanov, and carried by
the following vote that the appeal be denied and the Planning
Commission's action for denial be upheld:
AYES: Foster, Maryanov and Smith
NO: Bogert
ABSENT: Birer
3. P.D. 159 - E. CAMPBELL
Consideration of appeal by Christian Associates on behalf of
B. Campbell from Planning Commission denial of Planned Devel-
opment District for retail complex on the southwest corner of
Gene Autry Trail and Vista Chino.
Director of Community Development reviewed his report dated
September 19, 1984, noting that the proposal consists of a
three-unit commercial development on a 1.7 elongated-acre
parcel on the west side of Gene Autry Trail , zoned 05; and
that the zoning allows for the development of one dwelling
unit per five acres, and should the Council desire to overrule
the Planning Commission's action, he recommended that this
matter be returned to the Planning Commission for a General
Plan amendment consideration, which would be required in order
to allow the project to proceed.
Councilman Maryanov stated that he would abstain from discus-
sion and voting on this matter.

3. P.D. 159 - -E. CAMPBELL (Continued)
Mayor declared the hearing open.
David Christian, architect, representing applicant, stated
that the applicant would withdraw his request for commercial
and request that the site be used for office and limited
retail . He stated that he had received letters from various
people in the neighborhood in response to an inquiry from him
for input from residents and stated that with the exception of
one of those he received, most were not opposed to the project
provided that it focused on limited retail and office uses.
He stated the site realistically could not be developed for
residential purposes, and he did not believe this was not a
viable use backing onto Gene Autry Trail ; and that there are
drainage problems in the area, potential commercial develop-
ment across the street and on other corners at this intersec-
tion, traffic and increased noise which are not compatible
with residential .
Al Gergley, attorney representing the applicant, 1335 San
Joaquin Drive, stated that the property is a result of an
error in a survey resulting in a strip of land that apparently
cannot be developed as residential use; that the applicant's
first proposal was objected to and denied; the question became
what to do with the property; that it has become a dumping
ground; that perhaps it should be purchased and developed as a
park site; or application should be considered for revision
and sent back to the Planning Commission with changes pro-
posed.
Walter Meyer, 3677 Paseo Barbara, stated that he was opposed
to the project because of the uses that were anticipated and
spoke against it at previous Planning Commission meetings;
that he recognized the right of the owner to develop something
on the site; and, under certain conditions, he would not
object to something being done with the property if there were
restrictions as to time that the property would be used for
commercial purposes, such as Monday through Friday, limited
hours., etc.
There being no further appearances, the hearing was closed.
In answer to questions by Council , Director of Community
Development stated that under a use permit in the 0-5 Zone, a
312 unit per acre residential development would be allowed;
that the property would be 4 feet short of the standard R-1-C
lot depth; that cul-de-sacs are typically twice the width of a
normal street and a pattern to match existing streets would
not be possible; that "hammerhead" streets have not been
looked at as a possibility; that the property owner was not
interested in pursuing the development of more houses, how-
ever, with proper landscaping and barriers to Gene Autry
Trail , it might be a possibility.
Councilman Foster stated that he believed it would be an
impossible situation to set conditions such as hours of opera-
tion on a commercial development and to enforce it over a
period of time; that he desired to be equitable both to the
property owner and the surrounding neighborhood, and would
support exploring ways of resolving this situation with the
exception that he did not consider commercial use proper, in
that the intersection has a lot of traffic and the believed
that considerable curb cuts would pose problems.
Councilman Smith stated that if there were more depth to the
property, a landscape buffer could be provided so that the
loading and unloading of vehicles could be buffered, noting
that front loading would not be a viable solution.

It was moved by Foster, seconded by Smith, and unanimously
carried, Maryanov abstaining and Birer absent, that the appeal
be denied and the Planning Commission's action for denial be
upheld.
4. A.D. 147 - PUBLIC INTEREST AND NECESSITY
Recommendation: That the Council conduct hearing on Resolu-
tion of Necessity to acquire certain rights-Df-way in connec-
tion with A.D. 147, improvement of a portion of South Palm
Canyon Drive.
Director of Community Development reviewed his report dated
September 19, 1984 stating that the recommended action is a
precursor to further action to take place in the event acqui-
sition of rights-of-way are not successful and is not binding
in itself, and allows moving ahead without specific restric-
tions. He stated that the City currently has a 30-foot right-
of-way, and, in some instances, there may be walls, large
trees and other amenities that would have to be removed in
order to install curb at the 32-foot right-of-way line; that
he met with property owners potentially affected by this
project last week at which five attended; that some alterna-
tives have been discussed with the Traffic Engineer as a
result of that meeting, e.g. , shifting the center line to the
east; that the area most effected is a two-block area, and
other areas to the south still need to provide dedication, but
do not have the improvement problem that the two-block area
has; that there have been some comments by property owners as
to the time of year this project is taking place, and he noted
that mailings were addressed to the addresses shown on the
last tax roll .
Mayor declared the hearing open.
Brenda Madrid, 1807 South Palm Canyon, stated that she was
opposed to the action and she would lose 7 feet of hey, prop-
erty and did not feel that that was in her best interest.
Patricia Moorten, 1701 South Palm Canyon Drive, stated that
her horse is an historical landmark; that the meeting with the
City staff did not address all questions; that the neighbors
would like sufficient time to meet with absent owners; that
she was not opposed to paving, but not at the expense of the
landscaping and gardens which she has established; and that
she believed a resolution could be worked out to improve the
street without losing that which is good for the City.
Clark Moorten, 1900 South Palm Canyon Drive„ stated that most
of the property owners are opposed until they can have an
opportunity to explore various alternatives, and suggested
that this matter be continued.
Morton Saks, 1861 South Palm Canyon, stated that his front
area serves as parking for his property, that his veranda
would be ,jeopardized by the additional improvement; that he
has two of the tallest trees in Palm Springs,; and that elimi-
nation of the parking lane in front of his house would reduce
the necessity for loss of his front area.
Donald Barnett, 1839 South Palm Canyon Drive, stated that his
loss would be a substantial erosion of property values in
tearing down his wall ; that he believed that, parking would be
redundant; that if there is a need to enhance access and
widening the street, perhaps red curbing would be the solu-
tion; and that a number of property owners with whom he has
spoken have indicated that they did not think parking would be
important on that side of the street.

4. A.D. 147 - PUBLIC INTEREST AND NECESSITY (Continued)
Charles Arnesty, 1875 South Palm Canyon Drive, stated that he
was not notified of the hearing and notice was not mailed to
his taxing address; that he has received literature about this
project over a period of time, but not this specific action;
that his property loss would be about 7 feet resulting in
placing his garage in such a position that he would have only
13 feet in which to back out of his driveway; that he has con-
sidered selling his property, however, does not believe he
would be able to do so in light of this action; that his house
is the newest on the block and was given a 20 foot setback ;
that he cannot move his garage to the back of the property;
and that the City will have the same problem as it proceeds
south, and it will not have accomplished anything.
Ms. Ross, 120 West El Portal , stated that oleanders now pro-
vide her with privacy and replacement of the oleanders with a
five foot block wall would be ridiculous, and that this matter
should be postponed to allow neighbors to get together to
discuss potential actions.
Art Madrid, .1807 South Palm Canyon Drive, stated that he was
opposed to this project, that his fence is 21 feet from the
property line and a 7-foot dedication would leave him 14 feet;
that four adult palm trees and cypress would have to be
removed; and that Palm Canyon is a high speed area.
Bill Howlett, 2001 South Palm Canyon, commended the staff for
developing alternative schemes and noted that there is need to
preserve the Moorten gardens, walks and walls of distinctive
design, and individual landscaping; that people using their
front areas for parking provides a certain security for those
residences; and that he recommended action be delayed, giving
an opportunity for presentation of alternatives and to allow
those who are on vacation to voice their opinions and enable
staff to work out other alternatives.
Mrs. Moorten stated that Nancy Watt had submitted a letter to
the Mayor.
In answer to question by Council, Director of Community Devel-
opment stated that the effects of shifting the center line
must be looked at in terms of road design and drainage; that a
12 foot sidewalk between the wall and the curb would also have
to be looked at in terms of the impact it would have on the
street design; that all property owners have not been heard
from as to alternative designs or of not having parking on the
west side of the street; that there would not be a problem of
a continuance, however, a particular process is being
attempted and adoption of the resolution would not have any
effect if solutions are reached, but acquisition of rights-of-
way in the portion southerly of this two-block area are still
needed and a reduction in right-of-way would only be con-
sidered where there is a severe hardship; and that the action
does not condemn the land, nor does it relate directly to the
assessment district, but allows proceeding and does not
specifically set a clock in motion.
City Attorney stated that there is no clock to force the City
to take action, but, if no action is taken within six months,
it gives the property owner the right to force the City to
acquire the property, i.e. inverse condemnation.
It was moved by Maryanov, seconded by foster, and unanimously
carried, Birer absent, that this matter be continued to Octo-
ber 17, 1984.

4. A.D. 147 - PUBLIC INTEREST AND NECESSITY (Continued)
Councilman Smith suggested that it would be advisable to stake
the Final curb line solutions so there will be no misunder-
standing where that would appear, whether at 26, 27 or 28
feet.
Director of Community Development noted that anything less
than 30 feet would be within the City's existing right-of-way.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
a) Ms. Bobbi Patmore, representing Dr. Tynberg, stated
that there should be a fire station in the Andreas
Hills area, and requested that this matter be studied
in public hearings.
The Mayor stated that the only way to change the
requirement for sprinklers was through an ordinance
change, and that he would like to have staff study
this issue to determine the full extent of the
problem.
b) James Cioffi, Tahquitz-McCallum Way, stated that he is
40 seconds outside of the fire response time and the
cost for sprinklers would be prohibitive; that he did
not want the sprinklers nor the fire., station; and he
would be willing to take his chances on the response
from the existing service area.
c) Al Van Hooten, 2710 Cypress, Andreas Hills, also com-
mented on the cost for fire sprinklers within resi-
dences.
d) Sippy Nazarian, 294 Topaz Circle, regarding Item 14
stated that many months ago the Community Services
Commission approved a change in the bike path in order
to accommodate problems encountered by the developer
and Felt that the revised site would be the final
solution; that it was his understanding that the
developer seeks another change, which he felt would be
dangerous to non-vehicular traffic, and improper to
remove the bike path from the scenic: corridor; and he
urged the Council not to agree to further changes in
the bike path location.
e) Peter Tynberg, 5999 Via Norte, property owner in the
Andreas Hills area, stated that he conducted a timing
test which showed that a car could travel to Andreas
Hills within 4 minutes from the Laverne Fire Station
and a fire truck in slightly over 5 minutes, and ques-
tioned whether that area is truly outside of the 5
minute response time as determined by computer; that
it is likely the Falcon Lakes project will affect the
eventual need for a fire station in this area, which
will resolve this problem; and that 'if homes are going
to be required to provide sprinklers, property owners
will not be required to contribute to the assessment
district for a fire station.
Assistant City Manager stated that: in addition to
looking at this issue, the question of how fire
ratings would be affected would also be addressed.

LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
5. WASTE DISPOSAL SERVICES - RATE ADJUSTMENTS
Recommendation: That the Council grant rate increases for
residential and commercial users, effective October 1, 1984;

dential clean-up) ; and increase rates for handling of infec-
tious materials.
Airport Operations Supervisor reviewed report of Director of
Transportation, dated September 19, 1984, and Assistant City
Manager noted 10(� correction in residential rates as reported
at the last study session, resulting in a rate of 1;3.18 rather

Recommendation: That the Council approve license agreement
with Country Club Limousine for 3-year period.
Airport Operation Supervisor reviewed report of Director of
Transportation, dated September 19, 1984, stating that five
bids were received of which three complied with the minimum
requirement, and, although staff had originally recommended
the Gatsby proposal , it did concur with the Commission's
review and determination to recommend Country Club Limousine.
City Attorney stated that the staff report indicated that the
Commission looked at certain areas, and it would be helpful if
the Council would make findings that the Commission con-
sidered, i .e. :
a) Several factors were important in the selection of a
limousine service including not only the dollar amount
of the bid, but the nature and number of the equipment
used, experience of the firm, particular experience in
this locale or experience in giving objective informa-
tion on ground transportation;
b) That Country Club had the highest degree of experi-
ence, including the public information portion; and
c) In weighing all factors, it would be in the best
interest of the public to approve the County Club
Limousine agreement.
Resolution 15236, approving the agreement as recommended, was
presented; after which, it was approved by Smith, seconded by
Maryanov, and unanimously carried, Birer absent, that Resolu-
tion 15236 be adopted and that the Council finds and deter-
mines those items above enumerated by the City Attorney.

placed on the Council agenda in anticipation that the Council
might wish to provide input on the lease, however, the Council
