COUNCIL COMMENTS - None PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1 . 1985-86 BUDGET Assistant City Manager read a detailed overall summary of the 1985-86 budget, noting that it includes 8 new positions, most of which relate to a growth and maintenance of new facilities and landscaped areas developed over the past year; that operating funds will increase to $25,217,000, or 4.68% over the current year; that enterprise funds are up 84%, primarily due to major Airport improvements, which will be offset by Federal Grants totalling $10 million ; that other (61 ) capital improvements are down 15+%, although i;he street maintenance and reconstruction program will coaitinue; and that debt service is up $300,000+ due to financing new police building. He noted three major significant changes which have caused a need to reduce reserves in the General Fund and community Promotion Fund by $1 .5 million ; and stated that the budget does not reflect impact on the City of the recent. U.S. Supreme Court decision that the Fair Labor Standards Act applies to local government. He stated that while the reduction in reserves is not an immediate crisis, it will require Council and staff attention in terms of potential revenue increases, service reductions or other fiscal planning to bring total revenues and appropriations into balance. Councilman Maryanov stated that he agreed the shortfall in revenues vs. expenditures is not a crisis at this time, but if it is not resolved, it will become one. Mayor declared the hearing open. In response to question and request by William Hillagos, 500 W. Arenas, staff indicated the funds are provided for the improvement of Arenas Road, from Beiardo to Tahquitz Drive. Peter Shapiro, 344 Flamingo and Norm Shafer, 2 Cordova, and Mr. Silberman, 173 Club Circle, all residents of El Dorado Mobile Park, urged that the Council provide funds to pay 1/4 of the cost of a signal on East Palm Canyon, i.o be shared with Wessman, and Cathedral City. Mr. Shafer stated that when the residents first made the request to the Council , he was asked to obtain comment from CalTrans, which he did and which he submitted to the City, however, he did not receive any response from City staff; that Mr. Wessman made his offer Council Minutes 6-5-85 Page 2 1 . 1985-86 BUDGET (Continued) to pay 1/4 of the cost of the signal to the Council at the previously mentioned meeting. Mr. Silberman stated that he spoke with Mr. Dipner, City of Cathedral City, who stated that Cathedral City probably would pay 50% of the cost of the signal . All three agreed that the si•tua'tion is dangerous and needs to be corrected. There were no further appearances. No action required at this time. 2. AA CASE 3.817 - DOWNEY SAVINGS & LOAN Consideration of appeal from Planning Commission condition of approval to remodel building at 1793 E. Palm Canyon Drive. Director of Community Development reviewed his report dated June 5, 1985, and displayed exhibits showing where the curb cuts were to be made to allow flow of traffic through the parking areas within the shopping center. He stated that Downey has requested relief from the condition to open the cuts. (11 I In answer to question by Council , Director of Community Development stated that the Downey facility was developed and completed, and no further requests were made for changes; that Bank of America was delayed because its parking could not be 'integrated with the shopping complex,; and that telephone calls which he has made to Downey for -its approval to have the work done, have been fruitless. Mayor declared the hearing open. Philip Boyd, 21791 lake Forest Drive, El Toro, stated that the driveway was not suggested, before the Planning Commission meeting on April 24; that conditions regarding the parking lot were originally placed on the fee title owner, and it is not fair for the condition to be placed on Downey. ' In answer to question from Council as to why the condition was not complied with originally, Mr. Dodd stated that Bank of America was added after Downey was completed, and Downey was tied in with the remainder of the shopping center at that time. He was not able to provide answer as to reason why Downey would not want the openings. There being no further appearances, the hearing was closed. Councilman Smith stated that the primary emphasis is the flow of traffic which is integrated for everyone. It was moved by Smith, seconded by Foster, and unanimously carried, that the Planning Commission action be upheld, and the appeal be denied. 385 Council Minutes 6-5-85 Page 3 3. P.D. 169 - WARMINGTON, CAPITAL CORP, ALSO REFERRED TO AS WARMINGTON STAHL DEVELOPMENT CO. Recommendation: That the Council approve a planned development district for a 90-unit apartment complex, including density bonus, on the south side of Alvarado Road, between Palm Canyon and De Anza. Planning Director reviewed report of Director of Community Development, indicating that the project includes a 25% density bonus, and 30% of the project will be allotted to moderate income persons; that there is an overall increase of 18 units ; that the site contains split zoning; that the project contains a mixture of one and two story units; that the Traffic Engineer did not recommend a signal on Palm Canyon at Alvarado; that the Planning Commission thought off-site street improvements would be appropriate to deal with increased traffic that would be expected from the project; that the Commission recommended requiring barrel tile vs. "s" tile ; and that the developer has provided a revised drawing for the unit on the northerly point of the project, so the parking tuck-under faces into the project, rather than facing Palm Canyon Drive. Mayor declared the hearing open. Gordon Paulus, Planning Consultant for the developer, 3771 Peacock Circle, Rancho Mirage, stated that the developer has concerns relative to the Planning Commission' s requirement for a traffic signal , contrary to the Traffic Engineer' s recommendation; the requirement for the barred 'tile, which will result in a $433 per unit increase in cost, over that to provide "s" tile; and the requirement for improvement (116) of Zanjero. He stated that less than 25% o'F the traffic will exit or enter from that street; and if there is that much of a problem, it should be addressed through an assessment district for the area. Jennie Hahn, 303 Cabrillo Road, Sun Dance Villa Homeowners Association, read a letter from Victoria Principal , a copy of which is on file with the City Clerk, expressing concerns about the project, and expressed her own concerns relative to the quality of construction and amenities provided. She stated that one swimming pool for 90 units is not adequate, and the City should at least meet the standards imposed by Indio; that the developer has said that the units will be rented to young people, and she did not believe the developer has addressed play areas; that she questioned if the greenbelt is adequate, and if there will be a wall around the complex. Sheila Lightfoot, 255 Cabrillo, stated that the potential traffic needs to be further addressed; that the Traffic Engineer has said that 75% of the traffic will exit onto Palm Canyon and the remainder 'through other portions of the neighborhood, that "working" people will be living in the complex, and they will tend to find the route with the least hassle, and people in the neigborhood do not currently Fail into that category; that a study she conducted in the neighborhood and further north, showed, in one instance, that 9 of 10 were regular workers, 3 exited one o Palm Canyon, and 6 by other routes; and in another instance, 11 of 15 were regular workers, and exited onto Racquet Club Road from the north; that common sense would dictate that since 50% of the parking spaces have direct access to Cortez Road, people will not take a circuitous route to Palm Canyon, rather they will use Cortez Road ; that everything seems to statistically point against the neighborhood,, but in her Council Minutes 6-5-85 Page 4 3. P.D. 169 (Continued) opinion, the neighborhood will suffer. She suggested that if 75% of the people in the complex are expected to exit onto Palm Canyon, the site should be arranged to put the exit on Palm Canyon, and put the larger units and more parking nearer Palm Canyon; that the developer should widen and improve the back streets that the project will use; that if the exit is not changed, she requested that a 'traffic count be made at this time on Cabrillo, Cortez and on Alvarado, west of the entrance, and again after the units are occupied, and if more than 25% use Cortez-Zanjero, the developer should be required to do something about those streets. Lawrence Greer, 6961 Balsa, Yucca Valley, representing the General Manager of the Racquet Club, stated that there has been at least one accident in the past year, where a vehicle has crashed into the condominium project on Zanjero; that the Club is concerned about traffic, noise and dangerous situations that could be created; that a potential 54% of the vehicles will] attempt to use the back way, or a 300 vehicle trip per day increase; that Cortez Road is barely passable, except behind the shopping center; that Zanjero is paved, with two lanes, but no room for parking; and that the Club does not object to the project, but desired that reconsideration be given to the traffic direction and quantity of traffic projected. Mr. Paulus staled 'that the project is completely wailed; that a high percentage of children is not expected, however, there is a recreation building, swimming pool , and space around the pool to provide an enclosed play area for small children ; and that he did not believe CalTrans would approve another exit directly onto Palm Canyon. In answer to question by Council , Planning Director reported that a 15 unit apartment type hotel is proposed on 2 acres behind the "Troupe" property on Racquet Club Road, which will have to complete the half-street improvement of Cortez Road adjacent to its site, but that does not go through to Zanjero. Mr. Paulus stated that the project conforms with the setback requirements ; that there will be birms in the front, similar to the Temple project to the north, and around the remainder of the property, although not as high; that the bulk parking in the southern portion of the project its intended for guest parking; that the heaviest density has been centralized ; and that one large swimming pool has been found to be more satisfactory than several smaller ones. There being no further appearances, the hearing was closed. In answer to question by Council , Plannling Director reported that P.D.D. has been utilized, since the rear triangular portion of the property would only permit 18 units, and the proposal calls for 40 units in that area; and the overall mixture would only allow 72 units, hence, the 18 additional units over maximum allowable. Council Minutes 387 6-5-85 Page 5 3. P.D. 169 (Continued) Councilman Smith stated that he thought the property owners should form an improvement district for the streets in that area, regardless of whether this project proceeds. In answer to question by Council , Planning Director reported that the Planning Commission can be directed to look at the tile again, that the architecture for the project is more traditional Spanish than 'the Loehman Plaza or Temple projects, which utilized the "s" tile; that the Traffic Engineer's thinking was that a traffic signal was not warranted ; that setbacks will be met; that it is not accurate that there will be a 6- Ft wall on a 4-ft birm to create a 10-ft barrier, rather a combination of birming and wall will create a 6-ft barrier. Resolution 15538, approving P.D. 169, was presented ; after which, it was moved by Smith, seconded by Foster, and unanimously carried, that Resolution 15538, approving the project, as recommended, with exception that "s" the be required, and requirements for traffic signal and off-site improvement for neighborhood streets be eliminated; and that the developer be urged to work with the neighboring property owners to form an assessment district, be adopted. 4. P.D. 170 - R.P. WARMINGTON CO. Recommendation: That the Council approve a planned development district for a 192 unit hotel , on the southeast corner of East Palm Canyon and Camino Real . Planning Director reviewed report of Director of Community Development, and noted that the project is an all-suite, single-corridor hotel , without full-service dining, on 5z acres ; that the project is 5 units below maxiiizum allowable. (116) He reviewed conditions recommended, some of which have been met. In answer to question by Council , Planning director stated that sidewalks are provided on three sides; landscaping increased on Twim Palms; that a 4-foot wall on o 4-foot mound within a 10-foot setback, would require moving the wall back, because it requires a minimum of 20-feet, otherwise runoff problems are created. Mayor declared the hearing open. Gordon Paulus, representing the developer, and Mark Norega, developer, were present to respond to questions. Ron Sakahara, architect for the project, 3190-K Airport Loop, Costa Mesa, stated that parking pockets have been created rather than mass paved parking areas. He described other aesthetic features, and stated that they would like to work with staff regarding the opening onto Twin Palms, which perhaps could be used as a crash-through, rather i.han a fired ingress-egress. 38� Council Minutes 6-5-85 Page 6 P.D. 170 (Continued) Simone Bajart, 11871 Aquanetta, expressed concerns regarding a 3-story hotel near the residential area, and commented on problems the neighborhood has in terms of street parking by guests of the Westward Ho; that the quiet and security of the neighborhood should be protected ; and requested that the entry, exit, and parking areas to the project be on East Palm Canyon. There being no further appearances, the hearing was closed. In answer to question by Council , Planning Director• reported that the proposed resolution would call for elimination of the access to Twin Palms Drive; increase landscaping and restudy of architecture; and final plans would come back to the Council for approval ; and that the major decision at this point is the basic massing and height of the project. He stated that the 3-story height came from the Planning Commission, because it opens up the site, enhancers it, and creates a better frontage. Councilman Foster stated that he has concerns about the exceeding height limits, and desired that it be addressed along with the architecture, in order to lessen the impact as much as possible. Councilman Maryanov stated that he is not against the project, but wants the height limit restudied. He stated that he viewed the project on Indian Avenue and Vista Chino as a different situation, due to its proximity to the Riviera Hotel ; that he did not see applying that to each hotel proposed; that restudy is important in this case because of the residential area; and that he did not favor . multi-stories in Palm Springs, and a hard look should be taken at restricting it wherever that is possible. Councilman Smith stated that each project should stand on its own merits; and open space will be eaten up if there is an insistence on only 2 stories. Resolution 15539 approving P.D. 170, as recommended, was presented; after which, it was; moved by Birer, seconded by Smith, and carried, Maryanov voting no, that Resolution 15539 be adopted. PUBLIC COMMENTS: a) Jeremy Crocker, 330 W. Arenas Road„ stated that 'there are two proposals before the Council , which he believed are counter to national trends toward improving the economy, relative to a Development. Corporation, under SBA, and a Housing Authority, both of which create opportunities for issuance of tax exempt bonds, which he believed would benefit specific local interests, but (85) questioned whether they would benefit the economy as a whole. He, therefore, urged that the Council not implement them. 389 Council Minutes 6-5-85 Page 7 b) Bill Howlett, local sign business owner, stated that the problem of neon relates to glare, light contrast, and brightness; that a bigger problem looms with the use of beer signs, placed 37" or more behind store windows; that the "village" has been lost, but it does not mean that the village mood must be lost; that various technical changes can alter 'Bight intensity, temperature and noise; and that if the Council approves a moratorium on the (103) use of neon, that staff should be directed to conduct a light meter reading to assess the intensity of overall lighting which is desired, including the sign and its surrounding environment, measured from the curb; after which, a median intensity can be developed which will maintain the restful feeling that is desired. He suggested the meter readings include both the sign and the amount of light generated by the business. c) George Goldberg, 1445 Palm Tee, observed that the Desert Sun included an editorial regarding use of Eminent Domain proceedings in connection with downtown properties, and made reference to the "Wessman proposal .;" stated that he cannot get the City staff involved in a legitimate complaint relative to an illegal conversion of a property; and that he challenged the City to charge him with parking an RV at his residence. LEGISLATIVE ACTION: 5. MORATORIUM ON USE OF NEON On May 15, 1985, Council requested that an ordinance be prepared to declare a moratorium on the use of neon, pending possible Sign Ordinance amendments. Director of Community Development read sections a, b and c of the proposed ordinance, providing Planning Commission direction to not accept or consider applications for any sign which contains neon tubing or similar devices, except when such has been previously approved and the time to appeal (103) such approval to the City Council has expired before the effective date of the ordinance. He stated that during the 45 day moratorium, staff would garner information and background regarding the use and limitation of neon type signs, and to work through the community aesthe',:ic issues. It was the consensus of the Council that the issue should be addressed quickly; and that the comments by Mr. Howlett regarding light intensity study should also be further explored. Councilman Smith stated that he also has concerns about the signs beyond the 3 feet behind the window. City Clerk read title of Ordinance 1242, as follows: AN INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY ON= PALM SPRINGS TO PROHIBIT THE INSTALLATION OF ANY SIGN WHICH UTILIZES NEON TUBES OR SIMILAR DEVICES FOR ILLUMINATION, AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF. It was moved by Foster, seconded by Maryanov, and unanimously carried, that further reading be waived, and chat Ordinance 1242 be adopted, as an urgency measure. 390 Council Minutes 6-5-85 Page 8 6. P.D. 153 - TEMPLE Recommendation: That the Council approve modifications to the final development plans relating to the golf course, including the addition of a 16 space driving range on the west side of Farrell Drive, for the Mesquite Canyon Country Club. Mr. Temple indicated he was available for questions. (116 Director of Community Development reviewed his report, and plans were displayed, which provides a better situation for the golfer and the rider. In answer to question by Council , Director of Community Development stated that Farrell is wide enough to accommodate parking; however, a person using the driving range roust check with the clubhouse first; and the relocation is about the same in the new direction front the clubhouse, as it was to the east in the previous location. Resolution 15540 approving revised plains, as recommended, was presented ; after which, it was moved by Birer, seconded by Smith, and unanimously carried, Bogert abstaining, that Resolution 15540 be adopted. 7. O'DONNELL GOLF COURSE FENCE On May 15, 1985, Council continued consideration of overruling Planning Commission denial of proposed 26-foot golf ball barrier fence along Belardo Road, pending review of potential materials for the fence. Redevelopment Director reported that in discussing land trade to accommodate the realignment of Belardo Road, an idea came up of a fence and landscaping along that portion of the golf course adjacent to the realignment, and the landscaping has (92, been installed; -that he did not find any implied agreement to hold harmless the golf course; and that the Council has the option of overruling the Planning Commission and erecting the fence; not erecting the fence and hold harmless the golf course; or not overruling the Planning Commission rejection of the fence, and not take any further, action, which would mean that the Council did not want to hold harmless the golf course, nor provide the fence. Councilman Smith stated that he preferred the third alternative, and if O'Donnell feels strongly about the subject, it can go back to the Planning Commission , with something that would be more satisfactory. Councilman Foster expressed agreement, and stated that he understood O'Donnell was considering a realignment of -the course, which would reduce shooting over the Fence, and then determine extent of 'the problem after that change. It was moved by Smith, seconded by Foster, and unanimously carried, that the Planning Commission denial be upheld; and that the City not provide a hold harmless of the golf course. 391 Council Minutes 6-5-85 Page 9 8.
