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

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.

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.

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.

Council Minutes

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.

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.
