5.0827 (PD 259) and TTM 29638—Application by Lundin Development Co, for a Preliminary
Planned Development District for a proposed integrated, single-phased shopping center
consisting of a 57,342 square foot supermarket, a 14,884 square foot drug store with drive-
through pharmacy, two quick-service restaurant pads consisting of 3,589 and 2,465 square
feet, respectively, various retail shop space consisting of 26,220 square feet and the
subdivision of the 9.9 gross acre/8.29 net acre site into nine (9) parcels, ranging in size from
0.13 acres to 2.82 acres, located at the northwest corner of Ramon Road and Sunrise Way, C-
1 Zone, Section 14.
Commissioners Raya and Shoenberger abstained due to conflicting business interests.
Director reported that the City Attorney has confirmed that the Planning Commission did not
take final action on this application at its July 05, 2000 meeting. Director reviewed exhibits for
the Planning Commission. He stated that the stacking at the restaurant has been improved
and the decorative paving increased. He stated that the Sav-On layout was still awkward;
however, common. He confirmed that staff and City Engineer recommend that the driveway on
Ramon Road be closed to left hand turns. He confirmed that staff has met with the project
architectural designer to assure that the project is accurately represented on the current plans.
Commissioner Mills opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Greg Bever, applicant, stated that he agreed with staff on all issues with the exception of
the restriction of left-hand turn movements from the center out onto Ramon Road. He
suggested that this be allowed at present and conditioned for a limited life, based upon traffic
counts in the future. He stated that he would be willing to bond for a future extension of the
median.
Mr. Dan Kline, MBH Architects, described the changes in the plans for the Planning
Commission; pointing out the reduced height of the Sav-On element, that there are no neon
signs, the light fixtures are gooseneck lamps, trellis elements for shading, and other
improvements for pedestrian amenities.
Mr. Daryl Christenson, Sav-On, urged the Planning Commission to consider allowing a left-
hand turn from the Center onto Ramon Road. He stated that it is a customer service issue to
/k A Z

his company. He suggested that Mr. Bever's suggestion regarding future bonding be
considered.
Mr. Rob Parker, RGA Landscape Design, addressed the Planning Commission to describe the
landscaping plans. He reported that the project will use architectural grade fiberglass planters
with a distressed finish for some large plants in order to stay away from raised planters which
can be problematic for a pedestrian use area such as this. He reported that, as tenant
agreements are finalized, the actual use will be clarified. He reported that the plans call for
large trees planted in grated areas. Overall, the design theme is drought tolerant desert plant
material. He also reported that sidewalk widths have been increased and provide ample
opportunities for landscaping in addition to the pop-out pedestrian nodes.
Mr. John Raymond, Redevelopment Director, urged the Planning Commission to consider
allowing a left-hand turn movement onto Ramon Road from the center for now and to bond for
future traffic studies, medians, circulation changes.
There being no further appearances, the Public Hearing was closed.
City Engineer explained that the conditions of approval for ingress and egress stem from the
analyzation of the traffic study for current and future issues, as his department is entrusted to
do. He stated that the conditions are consistent with the Coachella Valley Association of
Government's projections of the area for the year 2020 and his professional opinion as a traffic
engineer. He stated his concern that future bonding may not be interpreted as intended in the
future by future owners or leaseholders. He reported that more than 20,000 cars per day is a
serious traffic concern. Ramon Road currently has 17 to 18 thousand cars per day today and
the target year of 2020 is estimated to have 32,000 cars per day. He stated that traffic counts
are taken every two years.
Commissioner Jurasky called Mr. Rob Parker back to the podium to address the importance of
a pedestrian-friendly design. Mr. Parker responded that the drawings represent a viable layout
for a pedestrian-friendly site; however, specific tenant refinements will be made as those
agreements are secured. He described the Sav-On pad as more oriented to drive-up traffic;
although it does have direct pedestrian access. He reiterated that raised planters can be a
maintenance problem but plans and renderings will reflect alternate ways of creating a buffer
between cars and pedestrians.
Commissioner Jurasky then called Mr. Greg Bever to the podium. Mr. Bever stated his
appreciation for the Planning Commission's consideration of the application. He stated that a
possible consideration for enhancing the site could be with the support of the Art in Public
Places program. A tentative theme for the center, he stated, is "The Trails" which could include
representations of endangered species, footprints, renderings, etc. He stated that his company
is enthusiastic about the leasing program and that good traffic flow is essential to the long-term
success of the center.

Commissioner Jurasky called Mr. Daryl Christian to the podium. Mr. Christian stated that,
although the location of the Sav-On site on Tahquitz Canyon Way and Sunrise Way had been
approved, his company feels the subject site is in a stronger area. Mr. Jurasky expressed his
concern that the stand-alone building, as proposed, at the corner of the site is a weakness of
this project. Mr. Christian stated that his company would move the store to the Tahquitz
Canyon Way and Sunrise Way location rather than change the configuration or layout of the
corporate-standard building design. He stated that it would be the Vice President of
Operations' decision to approve a change of entryway.
Chairman Mills stated that this very important site in the City needs careful consideration to
ensure that it is developed in the best way possible. Chairman Mills also stated his
dissatisfaction with the Sav-On design. He stated that it should not orient away from the site, it
does not complement the neighborhood shopping center, and is not well-designed, in general,
for a stand alone building. He also expressed his concern regarding having drive-through
areas in this major City thoroughfare. He stated that he appreciates the convenience of the
drive-throughs; however, he does not want them to be visible from the street. He also
expressed his concern that the entries on Sunrise Way and Ramon Road are weak from a
design standpoint.
M/S/C (Matthews/Caffery 3-2, 2 abstain, Jurasky and Mills dissenting) to approve subject to
conditions in staff report and that the Director of Planning & Building determine a trigger point
for the cessation of left-hand turns onto Ramon Road which shall be recorded on any
subdivisions, leases, and CC&Rs and financially secured by bonds or other financial methods
as appropriate.

COMMISSION/STAFF REPORT EQUESTS:
Director reported that t arden Springs Apartment projec CBM Group has been halted;
however, the City received nothing in writing, or even a return one call, from the
Developer at point. He stated that the financial agreements inclu he condition that the
project b Ily rented and occupied by December 31, 2000 and also that the uired
uncle ounding of utilities could have been a significant financial risk. He stated the
hers may come back to the Planning Commission with alternate plans.

Re: Proposed Lundin Development at Ramon and Sunrise, Palm Springs
Dear Honorable Mayor and Members of the Council.
As you may remember, I am the attorney who addressed you at the meeting of
September 6, 2000 with respect to the proposed Lundin Development Company project at Sunrise
and Ramon. I represent the owners of the Cheeky Monkey and Sun Clean Laundromat, both of
which businesses will be destroyed if the project proceeds as planned.
I do not believe that the information that you were given at the City Council meeting
was fully complete and accurate. A number of issues came up after I spoke that, given the format
of the meeting, I was unable to further address. I hope you will find the additional information
provided by this letter helpful in reaching a decision on this difficult project.
By way of background, my clients' leases have provisions that give the landlord the
option of terminating the leases on 90 days notice if the property is reconstructed. It is my
understanding that Lundin Development has an option to purchase the property. If it does, it will
likely exercise that provision and attempt to evict my clients without any form of compensation. If
that is allowed to happen, the considerable investment that has been made in these businesses will be
lost.

During the Council meeting, the Council was advised that the fate of the businesses
lost to the redevelopment effort was solely a matter between the landlord and the tenants. That is not
the case. When property is acquired under the threat of condemnation, public agencies are required
to compensate displaced businesses in the same manner as if a formal condemnation proceeding was
commenced. (Langer v Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Cruz (1999) 71 Cal.AppAth
998, a copy of which is enclosed for your review.)
In this case, my clients are being displaced by the threat of condemnation, entitling them to
full compensation. On January 5,2000,attorneys for Dr.Bochner,the current owner of the property,
wrote my clients, stating:
"It has recently come to the attention of Dr. Bochner that the Palm
Springs Redevelopment Agency has entered into an exclusive
a development agreement with Lundin Development Company and the
Palm Springs Redevelopment Agency has threatened to commence
condemnation proceedings against Dr. Bochner with respect to the
Sunrise Center to assist in its redevelopment activities with Lundin
Development. As a result, Dr. Bochner has been forced to enter
into an option for the sale of the premises to Lundin Development
Company."
(A copy of that letter is attached for your information). Due to that threat of condemnation, the
Redevelopment Agency has an obligation to fully compensate my clients for their displaced
businesses.
Furthermore, and not withstanding representations that were made during the City
Council meeting, it is my understanding that Lundin Development has been engaged in ongoing
discussions with the RDA seeking substantial financial assistance for the project, The City Council
will have difficulty explaining to the small business community the justice of providing financial
assistance to a multimillion dollar developer to enable it to displace small businesses, while at the
same time refusing to assist those businesses in reestablishing themselves.
With respect to environmental issues raised at the meeting, an environmental impact
report is required whenever there is a "fair argument" that a project may have a significant
environmental impact. Any court,reviewing the record ofthe City Council meeting,would have little
difficulty in concluding that a fair argument exists with respect to a number of potential impacts.
I believe that even the City Attorney admitted that a focused EIR may be appropriate
on the historical site issue. At a minimum, the EIR should also address noise impacts on adjacent
residences and impacts on other nearby shopping centers that may be blighted by displacement of
business into the proposed center.

With respect to the noise issue, it would be unconscionable to subject the residents
of adjacent apartments to the level of noise that will be generated by delivery trucks queuing up in
the truck way within 50 feet of their second story windows. The block wall will not protect the
second story residences: to the contrary, it will concentrate the noise and deflect it into the
residences. The chillers on top of the supermarket will generate additional noise in close proximity
to the residences 24 hours a day.
The City of Palm Desert recently required a landscaped buffer and roof enclosure to
protect neighboring single story condos from noise generated by a truck access and loading area in
the rear of the Albertson's Center on Highway 111 and Deep Canyon. Those residences are more
than 100 feet from the rear of the store, are single story, but will never the less receive much more
protection. At very least, the City Council should require a professional noise study before it allows
the Lundin Project to provide considerably less protection to the residents of Palm Springs.
The preparation of an EIR will provide a full professional analysis of potential impacts
so that the City Council is fully informed before it goes forward. Also, an EIR would contain an
analysis of alternatives that would guide the City Council into molding a project that the City can be
proud of, rather than resigned to.
The Lundin project is a difficult project for the City of Palm Springs. It should not
be allowed to proceed until environmental impacts are fully addressed and the displaced businesses
are treated fairly. Good public policy, and the law, require both.

MARK LANGER et al., Plaintiffs and Appellants, v.
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SANTA CRUZ,
Defendant and Respondent.
[ •, SUMMARY
i1
Tenants brought an inverse condemnation action against a redevelopment
— agency after their landlord evicted them in connection wiih his joint venture
with a developer who was accumulating properties in a redevelopment area
for a proposed shopping center. The trial court entered summary judgment
for defendant. (Superior Court of Santa Cruz County, No. CV132667,
Samuel S. Stevens, Judge.)
The Court of Appeal affirmed. The court held that there was no taking of
the properties by defendant, either by actual condemnation or its substantial
equivalent. The plans for developing the properties were initiated by the
- developer and the landlord, who sought assistance from defendant in acquir-
ing other properties in the area. Defendant never acquired the landlord's
properties, and there was no notice of condemnation or any threat of
condemnation of the properties, and there was no evidence that defendant
intended to condemn those properties for redevelopment of the area. For
inverse condemnation to exist, there has to be a taking, or at the very least a
definite and unequivocal manifestation that the public entity in question wasi,
ready to use its power to condemn, and in fact would clearly have done so if
necessary to acquire the property at issue. (Opinion by Bamattre-Manoukian,
Acting P. J., with Wunderlich and Mihara, JJ., concurring.)
HEADNOTES
Classified to California Digest of Official Reports e -
(1) Summary Judgment § 26--Appellate Review—Scope of Review.—
Since a summary judgment motion raises only questions of law regard-
ing the construction and effect of the supporting and opposing papers,
the court independently reviews them on appeal, applying the same
three-step analysis required of the trial court. First, the court identifies
i
i
LANGER v. REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 999
71 Ca1.App.4th 998; 84 Ca1.Rpv.2d 19 lFeb. 1999]
the issues framed by the pleadings. Second. it determines whether the j
moving party's showing has negated the opponent's claim, justifying a
judgment in the moving party's favor. If so, the third and final step is
to determine whether the opposition has demonstrated the existence of
a triable, material factual issue.
(2) Eminent Domain § 131—Inverse Condemnation—What Consti-
totes.—A tenant's right to compensation under the eminent domain
law for improvements on the property does not necessarily depend on
the public agency's actual exercise of its power of eminent domain. Its
substantial equivalent serves the same purpose. The key issue is
whether, under the particular circumstances, the property in question
was acquired as part of an open market transaction or whether its
acquisition was in lieu of, or the substantial equivalent of, a condem-
nation proceeding.
(3) Eminent Domain § 131—Inverse Condemnation—What Consti-
tutes—Landlord's Eviction of Tenants in Redevelopment Area—
Redevelopment Agency's Liability.—In an inverse condemnation
against a redevelopment agency by tenants whose landlord evicted
them in connection with his joint venture with a developer who was
accumulating properties in a redevelopment area for a proposed shop-
ping center, the trial court properly entered summary judgment for }
defendant. The plans for developing the properties were initiated by the
developer and the landlord, who sought assistance from defendant in
acquiring other properties in the area. Defendant never acquired the
landlord's properties, and there was no notice or threat of condemna-
tion of the properties, and no evidence that defendant intended to
condemn them for redevelopment of the area. In all of the owner
participation agreements, the landlord's properties were already under
the control of the developer and thus did not require acquisition by
defendant. The fact that defendant ultimately paid relocation benefits to
all of the displaced tenants in the area did not tend to prove defendant's s
liability in inverse condemnation as to those properties. Relocation
assistance under the Government Code is distinct from condemnation -
damages. For inverse condemnation to exist, there has to be a taking, or
at the very least an unequivocal manifestation that the public entity was
ready to use its power to condemn, and in fact would clearly have done
so if necessary to acquire the property.

OPINION
BAMATTRE-MANOUKIAN, Acting P. J.—In this inverse condemnation
action, two commercial tenants appeal from a summary judgment in favor of
the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Cruz (the Agency).' Appel-
lants sought compensation for business goodwill and improvements lost
i when they were evicted from the properties they were renting and the land
became part of a large-scale commercial development funded in part by the
Agency. We find that there was no taking of the properties by the Agency,
either by actual condemnation or its substantial equivalent. Consequently,
' appellants are not entitled to compensation for goodwill and improvements
under eminent domain law. (Code Civ. Proc., §§ 1263.510, 1263.205.) We
1
will affirm the summary judgment.
BACKGROUND
2
Charles Scherer owned 3 parcels of real property which together com-
prised 3.74 acres of a 10-acre area in the City of Santa Cruz (City) known as
the Gateway Project site. The Gateway Project site consisted of approxi-
mately 20 irregularly shaped parcels, including Scherer's 3 parcels, which N
were dedicated to various commercial and light-industrial uses. Its location `
a on the edge of town at the intersection of two main thoroughfares made it ,
well suited for an integrated commercial development. Scherer contemplated
the eventual development of his property together with the surrounding
- parcels in the area, and for this reason he had not maintained any formal
A
long-term leases with his tenants, who rented from him under month-to-
a month tenancies.
The Gateway Project site had been declared a blighted area and was thus
eligible for Agency funding. It was part of a larger area known as the
'The appeal as to a third tenant, James Reber, doing business as Reber Construction, was
dismissed by order dated January 8, 1999.

"Merged Project Area," which was identified in the City's "Amended Rede-
velopment Plan for the Merged Earthquake Recovery and Reconstruction
Project." The entire Merged Project Area was within the jurisdiction of the
Agency. Consequently, the Agency was authorized to acquire real property
within this area through the eminent domain process.
In the late 1980's. Scherer began working with Cypress Properties, Inc.
(Cypress), to plan a commercial development for the Gateway Project site.
Scl{erer's 3.74 acres was a major piece of the 10-acre site. The project was
envisioned as a commercial hub consisting of a few anchor tenants and
several other smaller retail outlets. Cypress and Scherer approached the
Agency and elicited its assistance and cooperation in pursuit of the project.
In January of 1994, John DeBenedetti of Cypress wrote to the director of the
Agency regarding platis to develop the Gateway Project site as the "Desig-
nated Developer." He stated that it was possible that Cypress "could accom-
plish the project without extensive involvement by the Agency." This was
largely because Cypress already had a joint venture agreement with Scherer
regarding his properties, which comprised 162.000 square feet of the total
net useable 410.000 square feet of the project site. Therefore, Cypress would
not need Agency assistance in acquiring these properties through the emi-
nent domain process.
In 1994, Cypress entered into an "Exclusive Negotiation Agreement" _
(ENA) with the Agency wherein Cypress and the Agency agreed to negotiate
to prepare a development agreement regarding the Gateway Project. As a
result of these negotiations, an "Owner Participation Agreement" was en-
tered into on September 10, 1996, and various amendments were signed in
the months thereafter. These agreements defined the respective involvement
of Cypress and the Agency in the development of the Gateway Project.
Scherer was not a party to these owner participation agreements.
r
The participation agreements spelled out that the project area was com-
prised of properties owned or controlled by Cypress, which included Scher-
er's three parcels; property owned by the City; a right-of-way owned by the
California Department of Transportation; and other privately owned parcels,
designated "the Acquisition Parcels," which were to be acquired by the -
Agency for conveyance to Cypress. The Agency's acquisition activities were
therefore limited to acquiring parcels "which Cypress does not already own
or is unable to acquire." As to Scherer's parcels, it was understood that when
the plans for the project were approved those parcels would be made
available free and clear of any tenancies.
In November of 1996, Scherer wrote to appellants, giving formal notice
4 that he was terminating their month-to-month tenancies. Unlawful detainer s

actions were commenced against them on March 5, 19971 The municipal
court granted judgment in unlawful detainer on March 19, 1997. The Agency
was not a party to the unlawful detainer proceedings.
11
! The same day judgment was rendered in the unlawful detainer actions,
appellants filed their complaint for inverse condemnation and relocation
benefits against Scherer's estate, Cypress and the Agency. They alleged that
Scherer. Cypress and the Agency had acted together to take the properties
where their businesses were located and that as a result they were entitled to
just compensation for the loss of business goodwill and improvements.
(Code Civ. Proc., §§ 1263.510. 1263.205.) They also alleged that they were
entitled to relocation assistance and/or benefits. (Gov. Code. § 7260.) The
claim for relocation assistance is not at issue here as appellants have
received some relocation assistance and are pursuing separate administrative
remedies for relocation benefits under Government Code section 7260.
Furthermore, Cypress and the estate of Scherer have been dismissed from
the action. Thus the only cause of action remaining is for inverse condem-
nation against the Agency.
On December 5, 1997, the Agency filed its motion for summary judgment
on the ground that no inverse condemnation action was available to appel-
lants because the property was neither taken nor damaged by the Agency.
The court granted summary judgment January 12, 1998, and filed its written
decision February 5, 1998.
DISCUSSION
(1) "Since a summary judgment motion raises only questions of law
regarding the construction and effect of the supporting and opposing papers.
we independently review them on appeal, applying the same three-step
15 analysis required of the trial court." (AARTS Productions, Inc. v. Crocker
National Bank (1986) 179 Cal.App3d 1061, 1064 [225 Cal.Rptr. 203]; Code
Civ. Proc., § 437c.) First, we identify the issues framed by the pleadings.
Second, we determine whether the moving party's showing has negated the
`. opponent's claim, justifying a judgment in movant's favor. If so, the third p
! and final step is to determine whether the opposition has demonstrated the
existence of a triable, material factual issue. (Ibid.)
Here appellants alleged in their complaint that the Agency was a public
agency and that it participated, together with Cypress and Scherer, in
assembling property in the Gateway Project area for the redevelopment
a� project known as the Gateway Project. They alleged that pursuant to plans
gy '-Scherer passed away in January of 1997 These unlawful detainer actions were initiated by
a representative of his estate. -

z
for this project, the structures to be demolished included the buildings
housing their respective businesses. They further alleged that Scherer,
through Cypress, had an agreement with the Agency for the assemblage of
the properties, the demolition of existing improvements and the subsequent
redevelopment of the property. Therefore, the dispossession of appellants by
Scherer amounted to a taking of their property by the Agency, entitling them
under the law to just compensation for improvements and goodwill.
Under Code of Civil Procedure section 1263.205, an owner of any " 'im-
provements pertaining to the realty'" on property taken by eminent domain,
which cannot be removed without substantial economic loss, is entitled to
compensation for the value of such improvements. The code further provides
that the owner of a business conducted on property taken shall be compen-
sated for the loss of goodwill, provided that "[t]he loss is caused by the
taking of the property . . . ." (Code Civ. Proc., § 1263.510, subd. (a)(1).)
The same rules apply to suits in inverse condemnation. (Chhour v. Commu-
nity Redevelopment Agency (1996) 46 Cal.AppAth 273, 280 [53 Ca1.Rptr.2d
585].)
I
The parties agree that the facts as summarized above are undisputed. The
Agency's declarations establish that the Agency itself did not initiate or
directly threaten to initiate condemnation proceedings regarding the Scherer
parcels and did not ever acquire an interest in those parcels of real
property. (2) Under prevailing case law, however, "the tenant's right to
compensation for his improvements on the property does not necessarily
depend on the [public agency's] actual exercise of its power of eminent
domain. Its substantial equivalent serves the same purpose." (tanning v. City
of Monterey (1986) 181 Cal.App.3d 352, 356 [226 Ca1.Rptr. 2581 (Lanning),
italics added; Concrete Service Co, v. State of California ex rel. Dept. Pub.
Wks. (1969) 274 Cal.App.2d 142, 147 [78 Ca1.Rptr. 9231 (Concrete Ser-
vice).) The key issue is whether under the particular circumstances the
property in question was acquired as part of an open market transaction or
whether its acquisition was in lieu of, or the substantial equivalent of, a
condemnation proceeding. (Pacific Outdoor Advertising Co. v. City of Bur-
bank (1978) 86 Cal.App.3d 5 [149 Cal.Rptr. 9061 (Pacific); Lanning, supra,
181 Cal.App.3d 352.)
Several cases illustrate these principles. In Concrete Service, supra, 274
Cal.App.2d 142, the court posed the question whether a condemning author-
ity, desiring to acquire real property for a public use, may avoid its statutory
obligation to compensate the commercial tenant for personal property which
is part of the realty by means of purchasing the landlord's fee and then
terminating the tenancy. In Concrete Service a proposed freeway right-of-
way required the removal of improvements constructed by a commercial

tenant. The agency proceeded to appraise the improvements for purposes of
condemnation; however, upon discovering that the tenancy was-month-to-
month, the agency commenced private negotiations with the landlord which -
culminated in the sale of the land to the agency. Taking on the role of the
landlord, the agency then terminated the tenancy and demanded the land free
of improvements. The tenant filed an inverse condemnation action claiming a
compensation for the improvements.
The court agreed that the agency was liable, reasoning that if the agency
had exercised its power of eminent domain as it had intended to do, the
tenant would have been entitled to compensation for the taking of its
improvements. Since the agency had to acquire the property for highway
purposes, and gave notice to both the tenant and the landlord of its intent to
condemn, its subsequent private purchase from the owner and termination of
E the tenancy constituted the "substantial equivalent" of condemnation. (Con-
Crete Service, supra, 274 Cal.App.2d at p. 147.) The court concluded that the
agency "acquired the real property in question, not as a result of bargaining 4
in the open market, but rather in the broad exercise of its power to condemn
private property for public use." (Ibid.)
Similarly in Redevelopment Agency v. Diamond Properties (1969) 271
Ca1.App.2d 315 [76 Ca1.Rptr. 269] (Diamond Properties), the agency gave
notice to the owners and occupants that it intended to acquire the property by
purchase or condemnation. The agency actually filed a condemnation action
but dismissed it after negotiating with the owner of the property and
completing a private purchase which was conditioned on the owner's giving
notice to the tenants of the termination of their tenancy. The court found that
f;
under these facts the agency must compensate the tenant for improvements it .
had constructed on the rented property. r,
In Lanning, supra, 181 Cal.App.3d 352, this court relied on Concrete
Service and Diamond Properties in finding that the purchase of property by
3 the City of Monterey was the substantial equivalent of condemnation. Ins
Lanning, the city purchased property from Southern Pacific Land after
t several months of negotiations. A portion of the land purchased was subject
to an existing lease and the lessee had constructed improvements on it. The
lease provided that the lessee would receive compensation for the loss of his
improvements in the event the property was condemned. The trial court
found that the private sale to the city had been " `motivated by the threat of
condemnation, and to that extent was made in lieu of condemnation.' "
(Lanning, supra, 181 Cal.App.3d at p. 355.) However, the trial court con-
cluded that since the property had not actually been condemned, the tenant
was not entitled to the compensation provided by law and under the lease.

loses of This court reversed. Since the facts as found by the trial court in Lanning
anth-to- amounted to the substantial equivalent of condemnation, the tenant was
i which entitled to compensation even though the city did not actually exercise its
of the power of condemnation. We noted, however, that "[n]ot every purchase
u1d free - of property by an agency having the power of eminent domain is an
[aiming acquisition in lieu• or the substantial equivalent, of condemnation, entitling a
tenant to compensation for the value of his improvements." (181 Cal.App.3d
at p. 358.) This depends upon whether under all of the circumstances the
agency property was purchased in an open market transaction or under threat of :

ghway In Pacific, supra, 86 Cal.App.3d 5, the court found the acquisition of
tent to property by the city was an open market transaction. In that case, Pacific
lion of Outdoor Advertising had licensing agreements with the railroad to erect and ;
(Con- maintain several billboards on the railroad's right of way. The city became
latthe interested in leasing some of the railroad's property for purposes of beauti-
aining fication and providing parking. The city and the railroad entered into a lease
ldemn agreement for property owned by the railroad including the right of way
where Pacific's signs were located. The lease agreement included a provi-
sion that the railroad would terminate the agreements with Pacific regarding
271 the billboards and accordingly the railroad gave notice to Pacific and
gave ;_ ` canceled Pacific's licenses. Pacific sought damages in inverse condemnation 1

Ay by against the city, on the basis that the city had essentially caused the railroad
lction to terminate Pacific's licenses. Pacific relied on Concrete Service and Dia-
r-'
and mond Properties in arguing that even though the city had not exercised its
iving condemnation authority, the fact that it could have condemned the property
I that hin question was sufficient to support an action in inverse condemnation.

The Court of Appeal in Pacific rejected this argument. The court found lit
that the facts showed that the railroad and the city had engaged in an open
Crete market transaction. A lease with the city was of greater financial benefit to
y by the railroad than its licenses with Pacific. The city never threatened or even !

71 Cai.AppAth 998; 84 Cal.Rptr.2d 19 [Feb. 19991
(3) Applying this case law to the undisputed facts before us, We find
there was no substantial equivalent of condemnation here. Appellants con-
tend the evidence shows that the Agency "orchestrated" the termination
of the leases, similar to the circumstances in Diamond Properties, where the
public agency privately purchased the property on the condition that
the owner terminate the tenancies. Diamond Properties is quite different,
however. In that case it was clear that the public entity intended to use its
power of condemnation and in fact actually filed a condemnation action,
which it later dismissed. The private purchase by the entity, conditioned on
delivery of the property free of tenancies, was therefore clearly in lieu of
condemnation.
4 Here, on the other hand. the evidence shows that the plans for developing _ =
the properties were initiated by Cypress and Scherer, who sought assistance
from the Agency in acquiring other properties in the area. The Agency never
acquired the Scherer properties. Unlike Concrete Service, Diamond Proper-
ties and Lanning, there was no notice of condemnation nor any threat of
condemnation of the Scherer properties, nor any evidence that the Agency
._ intended to condemn those properties for redevelopment of the area. Indeed,
in all of the owner participation agreements, the Scherer properties were in
the group of parcels which were already under the control of Cypress and
thus did not require acquisition by the Agency.
[ Appellants argue that Scherer's notice to them of the termination of their
tenancies tends to show that Scherer was acting for, or was coerced by, the
Agency. We disagree. In his letter to appellants, Scherer wrote: "You have
known for some time that my property was in a redevelopment area and that
it would be developed one day. Through a very long process with the
Redevelopment Agency, the property is finally in a position to be developed.
[Q] As you know I am contributing my property to a joint venture with
Cypress Properties. In accordance with my agreement with Cypress and the
Redevelopment Agency, I agreed to free the land of all tenancies and
occupants." The letter explains that Scherer is contributing his property to
f the project as a joint venturer with Cypress. Although the letter speaks of an
agreement with Cypress and "the Redevelopment Agency," the ENA and
} owner participation agreements in the record clearly show that the only
parties to the agreement were the Agency and Cypress, as the designated
developer. Scherer's letter of termination does not amount to "evidence of
!' [an] implied or actual threat of condemnation, so that the ultimate result is a
j foregone conclusion." (Pacific, supra, 86 Ca1.App.3d at p. 12.) From the
beginning of the negotiations, the Scherer parcels were specifically identi-
fied among those parcels which Cypress already owned or controlled, and
f thus the Agency did not need to acquire.

we find In the termination notice, Scherer also enclosed a form requesting that the
nts con- tenants waive relocation benefits. In a declaration by one of the tenants,
nination ! Fredric Freiberg, he states that he called Scherer and Scherer told him "they
here the 4jhad me do this for legal purposes." (Italics added.) "They," according to the
on that declaration, were the developer (Cypress) and the Agency. In context,

attempt to secure a waiver of their relocation benefits. The waiver forms
included in Scherer's notice of termination were addressed to the Agency.
eloping Following Scherer's death in January of 1997, Cypress communicated with
;istance appellants and offered them certain sums of money in exchange for waiving
y never relocation benefits. The letter from Cypress stated that the offer was made
Proper- "on behalf of the development entity (which includes the estate of Charles

Agency detainer remedies if appellants did not accept the proposal. Finally, appel-

erty to ages under constitutional mandate and the Code of Civil Procedure. Under y,

is otherwise empowered to acquire the property to carry out the public use."
(Gov. Code, § 7260, subd. (c)(2), italics added.) There are no similar provi-
sions in the Code of Civil Procedure providing for condemnation damages in
similar circumstances. The Relocation Assistance Act thus reaches a broader
category of persons, which in this case includes appellants. The fact that the
Agency provided relocation assistance to appellants is therefore not proof of
the Agency's liability in inverse condemnation.
"[T]o have inverse condemnation, you have to have a taking" (Pacific,
supra, 86 Cal.App.3d at p. 12. fn. 4.). or at the very least "a definite and
1 unequivocal manifestation that the public entity in question was ready to use
its power to condemn, and in fact would clearly do so if necessary, to
acquire the property at issue." (Id. at p. 11; Diamond Properties, supra, 271
Cal.App.2d 315; Concrete Service, supra, 274 Cal.App.2d 142.) There is no
j evidence here that the Agency was prepared to use its power to condemn the I
Scherer parcels or that Scherer was acting under the threat of condemnation
I when he gave his tenants notice. Rather, the moving papers demonstrate that
this was an open market transaction where Cypress and Scherer initiated a
joint venture to develop the Gateway Project site and Cypress, as the
( designated developer, solicited the assistance of the Agency to acquire
properties other than Scherer's and to provide funds for site demolition and
tenant relocation benefits.
Unlike Concrete Service, Diamond Properties, and Lanning, where the
agency attempted to evade liability for condemnation damages by privately j
I acquiring the property, here there was no acquisition by the public agency of
any interest in the Scherer properties. Appellants argue that it is not neces-
sary to an action in inverse condemnation for the public agency to actually
acquire a possessory interest in the property. (Varjabedian v. City of Madera
(1977) 20 Ca1.3d 285 [142 Ca1.Rptr. 429, 572 P.2d 43]; Sutfin v. State of
California (1968) 261 Cal.App.2d 50 167 Ca1.Rptr. 665); Baker v. Burbank-
Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority (1985) 39 Cal.3d 862 [218 Cal.Rptr.
293, 705 P.2d 866].) These cases are distinguishable, however. They involve
damage to property, either physical damage through flooding or release of
gasses, or nuisance damages caused by noise, smoke and vibrations from
airplanes flying over the property. There are no such damages to the
properties in this case caused by the public entity. Appellants claim that the
demolition of the structures on all of the properties, which was funded by the
Agency, evidences a possessory interest in the properties. We disagree. The
properties were under the possession and control of Scherer and/or Cypress
at all times, including the time development was commenced and structures
# in the project area were demolished. The fact that funding for demolition
was provided by the Agency does not create a triable issue of fact as to the
1 taking or possession of the properties.
Y LANGER v. REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 1009
7] 71 Ca1.AppAth 998; 84 Ca1.Rptr.2d 19 [Feb. 1999]
" Finally, the fact that the Agency had the authority to condemn property in
the redevelopment area and indeed used its condemning authority to acquire
n other parcels in the Gateway Project site for conveyance to Cypress does not
r give rise to a triable issue regarding the Agency's eminent domain liability
zll as to the Scherer parcels. The adoption of a redevelopment plan which
f includes the power to condemn falls " `several leagues short of a firm
declaration of an intention to condemn [real] property."' (Cambria Spring
Co. v. City of Pico Rivera (1985) 171 Cal.App.3d 1080, 1097 [217 Cal.Rptr.
772].) The power to condemn, in and of itself, does not constitute proximate
cause where there are intervening factors. (Pacific, supra, 86 Cal.App.3d at
p. 12.) Here Scherer, the owner of the properties, terminated the tenancies on
his properties pursuant to his joint venture agreement with Cypress to
develop the Gateway Project and deliver his properties free of tenancies.
This was "an intervening force or factor" sufficient to negate inverse con-
demnation liability on the part of the Agency. (Ibid.)
Appellants contend that the result in this case is unfair since the Agency
avoids liability for compensation under Code of Civil Procedure sections
1263.510 and 1263.205 as to some parcels in an integrated redevelopment
project while paying compensation as to others. As we observed in Lanning,
it may appear to be an arbitrary result that a tenant whose property is
condemned is entitled to compensation under eminent domain law and
another tenant who is simply evicted by the landlord has no right to such
compensation. However, "the Legislature has ordained the payment of com-
pensation in [the first] case[]" and not in the second. (Lanning, supra, 181 {
Cal.App.3d at p. 359.) As the California Redevelopment Association argues {[
in its amicus curiae brief in this case, if appellants' argument were accepted, 14
a redevelopment agency, which provides a variety of assistance to private
projects in a multitude of circumstances, would be open to eminent domain
liability in every case that involves a private landlord legally terminating a !
tenant's occupancy. And as the court stated in Hecton v. People ex rel. Dept.
of Transportation (1976) 58 Cal.App.3d 653, 658-659 [130 Cal.Rptr. 230],
"[t]he economic ramifications of [a public project] are complex and un-
bounded. Unless losses caused by the [project] fall within the constitutional jt
meaning of a taking or damage, it is for the Legislature to draw the balance
between individual property rights and social needs. (HFH, Ltd. v. Superior
Court [(1975)] 15 Cal.3d 508, 520-523 [125 Cal.Rptr. 365, 542 P.2d 237].)"
f
It is possible, as appellants suggest, that if the Agency had not agreed to
provide assistance, Cypress and Scherer could not have gone forward with
the Gateway Project and appellants might not have been evicted when they
were. That is not the direct cause and effect contemplated by the eminent
1010 LANGER v. REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY

,i
i
domain statutes, however. A public agency is not liable in inverse condem-
nation unless the alleged damage arises directly from agency acquisition of
the property in question or threat of acquisition. (See Redevelopment Agency
v. Tobriner (1984) 153 Ca1.App.3d 367, 376-377 [200 Cal.Rptr. 364];
Community Redevelopment Agency v. Abrams (1975) 15 Cal.3d 813 [126
Ca1.Rptr. 473, 543 P.2d 905, 81 A.L.R.3d 174].) The Legislature clearly
limited compensation under Code of Civil Procedure sections 1263.205 and
1263.510 to instances where the public agency has "taken" the property or
an interest therein. Here appellants' alleged losses are a consequence of the
termination of their month-to-month tenancies by their landlord. The undis-
puted facts in this case show no taking by the Agency and no substantial
equivalent thereof. Consequently appellants are not entitled to compensation
under constitutional principles or under statutory eminent domain law.

adequately discusses the significant environmental effects of the proposed project,
which includes mitigation measures for traffic and circulation such as, the payment
of Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fund (TUMF) fees upon issuance of building
permits, infrastructure improvements along the project frontage (Ramon Road and
Sunrise Way), mitigation measures for land use and planning and noise such as,
limitations on the hours of large truck deliveries for the supermarket and the
installation of six or eight-foot tall walls along appropriate portions of shared
property lines with adjacent residential development, mitigation measures for water
such as raising building pads one-foot above natural grade, mitigation measures for
air quality, both during construction and associated long-term impacts and that, on
the basis of the initial study and comments received during the public review
/4#6 %
process, there is no substantial evidence that there will be any significant adverse
environmental effects as a result of this project. The City Council further finds that
the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects its independent judgment.
In addition, based upon.the initial record, the City Council finds that the existing
structures on the property do not constitute an historic resource as defined Section
15064.5 of the California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 2: Pursuant to Section 9403.00 of the Zoning Ordinance,the City Council finds
that:
a. The proposed Planned Development District is not consistent with the
applicable general and specific plans.
The proposed Planned Development District would allow for a neighborhood
commercial shopping center consisting of a 57,342 square foot Ralph's
Supermarket, a 14,884 square foot drug store with drive-through pharmacy, two
quick service restaurants with drive-through lanes (a 3,589 square foot Carl's Jr.
and a 2,465 square foot speculative pad restaurant), and various retail shop space
of approximately 26,220 square feet. The application, as proposed, is permitted
pursuant to Section 9403.00 (Planned Development District), which requires
consideration and approval of a Preliminary Planned Development application by
the Planning Commission and City Council.
The subject property is designated as "NCC" (Neighborhood Convenience
Center) on the City's General Plan Land Use Map and "C-1"(Central Retail
Business Zone) pursuant to the Zoning Map. The site has frontage along
Ramon Road and Sunrise Way, both of which are designated as scenic corridors
in the City's General Plan.
The General Plan serves as a long-term guideline for the development of the
community and is required for each city in California, pursuant to the California
Government Code. The Neighborhood Convenience Center General Plan
designation is primarily intended to provide for an opportunity for convenience
commercial uses to be oriented directly to the residential neighborhoods they
need by means of a planned commercial complex, serve as an integrated
element of the neighborhood and to promote a harmonious relationship between
convenience services and the residential environment through compatibility of site
design and architectural treatment of structures. Commercial/retail shopping
centers that serve both residents and visitors is specified as a recommended land
use pursuant to the Neighborhood Convenience Center designation in the
General Plan, provided these centers can create a harmonious relationship with
surrounding residential development as specified above.
Pursuant to the Shopping Centers Subsection of the City's General Plan,
shopping centers are to be developed as a unit, in an orderly fashion, with an
organized arrangement of stores, parking and service, at such time and to such
size as is warranted by population and supportable by available purchasing
power. The proposed project includes two primary buildings, one (supermarket)
in the westernmost portion of the property and one (drug store) near the
intersection of Ramon Road and Sunrise Way. Additionally, the project
contemplates the development of two additional Shops buildings (one along the
north property line and the other attached to the south side of the supermarket)
and three additional pad buildings, primarily located adjacent to the two project
street frontages adjacent to vehicular ingress/egress points. With the proposed
/& A3
building organization as described above, the resulting vehicular circulation
pattern found on the proposed site plan is not orderly, as a series of dead ends
throughout the project would be created, an awkward circulation pattern for large
delivery vehicles and a non-desirable pedestrian circulation pattern for patrons
who would walk to this neighborhood convenience center would be created.
Additionally, the proposed building density, size and organization of the proposed
site plan leads to a parking space deficiency in relation to that required per the
City's Zoning Code. Furthermore, no trend toward a significant population
increase or a change in purchasing power has been noted to justify a substantial
need for the proposed shopping center redevelopment of a size twice that of the
existing shopping center on the property.
Pursuant to the Community Design Element of the City's General Plan, all Major
Thoroughfares (including Ramon Road and Sunrise Way) are designated Scenic
Corridors, where the highest level of design quality is expected for all new
development within the community. These corridors have been established
because of their physical orientation relative to the San Jacinto Mountains or
other important natural features, the design precedent that has been established
and/or their importance as a vehicular "link" in the City's transportation network.
With the scenic corridor designation, special design features, such as upgraded
landscaping, a high quality building design, and appropriate ratio of building area
to site area and upgrades to the pedestrian and bicycle transportation facilities
are required.
The physical design of existing buildings and sites along scenic corridors
throughout the community predominately and consistently suggest that of a high
quality visual environment, through the development of buildings with
architectural individuality and uniqueness, upgraded on-site landscaping along
public streets and interior to each property, attractively landscaped median
islands, a recognition of the importance of pedestrian friendliness to, from and
within neighborhood convenience centers and an appropriate balance of building
area to site development area. The proposed project is designed in a
Mediterranean architectural character typical many shopping centers found
throughout the Southern California region and beyond. The project does not
possess a high degree of architectural individuality and uniqueness, as is typically
found along Major Thoroughfares in the community, or required of new
development proposals within the community, and is therefore contrary to on-site
development strategies specified in the General Plan.
At their August 9, 2000 public hearing, the Planning Commission recommended
approval of the project on a 3-2 vote (2 abstentions). The Planning Commission
was split on the proposed use and design at this important intersection of the
City. Several design modifications to the buildings and site plan were
recommended by the Planning Commission at the August 9, 2000 public hearing,
as well as previous Planning Commission public hearings on June 14, 2000 and
July 5, 2000. These design modifications were intended to enhance the
development and make the design more consistent with those typically found
along major thoroughfares (i.e. introducing a strong pedestrian component,
reducing building area and mass, removing a proposed refueling station from the
proposed use mix, incorporating more substantial streetside landscape setbacks
along Ramon Road and Sunrise Way, providing raised, landscaped median
islands on Ramon Road and Sunrise Way, etc.). The "no" votes, although a
minority, recommended denial primarily based upon the proposed ratio of building
area to site area, recommending a reduction in building coverage on the property,
14AY
the proposed vehicular circulation pattern, the need for further refinement of the
pedestrian circulation element and the proposed architectural scheme.
In addition, the eastern one-half of the site is designated Neighborhood
Commercial and the western one-half of the site is designated Residential High
pursuant to the Draft Section 14 Master Development Plan. The purpose of the
Neighborhood Commercial designation is to allow for neighborhood convenience
commercial uses that serve the daily needs of local residents in a complex or
center that is primarily accessed by automobile. The purpose of the High Density
Residential is to encourage the development of residential uses of 21 to 30
dwelling units per acre and/or hotels in a private and exclusive setting. As
proposed, the neighborhood shopping center is inconsistent with the Draft
Section 14 Master Development Plan/Specific Plan in that commercial uses (i.e.
neighborhood shopping center in this case) is not listed within the permitted uses
within the Residential High land use category specified for the western half of the
site.
b. The said use is not necessary or desirable for the development of the
community and is not in harmony with the various elements or objectives
of the General Plan, and is detrimental to existing uses or to future uses
specifically permitted in the zones in which the proposed use is to be
located.
The proposed Preliminary Planned Development District application for a single-
phased, neighborhood convenience center, consisting of a 57,342 square foot
Ralph's Supermarket, a 14,884 square foot drug store with drive-through
pharmacy,two quick service restaurants with drive-through lanes (a 3,589 square
foot Carl's Jr. and a 2,465 square foot speculative pad restaurant), and various
retail shop space of approximately 26,220 square feet would provide retail
services geared toward both residents and tourists of the community, consistent
with the objectives of the Neighborhood Convenience Center component of the
General Plan and the zone in which the site is located (i.e. the site is zoned "C-1",
Central Retail Business Zone). However, within existing shopping centers
throughout the City (including the existing shopping center on the property) are
vacant spaces of sufficient size to accommodate the proposed uses that are
zoned to permit or conditionally permit the proposed uses. One of the goals of
the City is to promote first and foremost the continued utilization and rehabilitation
of existing properties as viable economic sites instead of encouraging new
development of vacant properties that may cause the premature vacancy and
decay of existing developed properties. Furthermore, as noted earlier, no trend
toward a significant population increase or a change in purchasing power has
been noted to justify a substantial need for the proposed shopping center
redevelopment of a size twice that of the existing shopping center on the
property. With ample vacant retail space throughout the City, the development of
the project in the manner proposed would be detrimental to existing uses or the
future uses specifically permitted in the zones in which,the proposed use is to be
located.
C. The design or improvements of the proposed planned development are
not consistent with the General Plan (i.e. The site is not physically suitable
for the proposed density of development contemplated by the proposed
planned development).
As stated earlier, pursuant to the Shopping Centers Subsection of the City's
General Plan, shopping centers are to be developed as a unit, in an orderly
/44 dow
fashion, with an organized arrangement of stores, parking and service, at such
time and to such size as is warranted by population and supportable by available
purchasing power. The proposed project includes two primary buildings, one
(supermarket) in the westernmost portion of the property and one (drug store)
near the intersection of Ramon Road and Sunrise Way. Additionally, the project
contemplates the development of two additional Shops buildings (one along the
north property line and the other attached to the south side of the supermarket)
and three additional pad buildings, primarily located adjacent to the two project
street frontages adjacent to vehicular ingress/egress points. With the proposed
building organization and density of number of buildings as described above, the
resulting vehicular circulation pattern found on the proposed site plan is not
orderly, as a series of dead ends throughout the project would be created, an
awkward circulation pattern for large delivery vehicles and a non-desirable
pedestrian circulation pattern for patrons who would walk to this neighborhood
convenience center would be created. Additionally, the proposed building
density, size and organization of the proposed site plan leads to a parking space
deficiency in relation to that required per the City's Zoning Code.
As stated earlier, pursuant to the Community Design Element of the City's
General Plan, all Major Thoroughfares (including Ramon Road and Sunrise Way)
are designated Scenic Corridors, where the highest level of design quality is
expected for all new development within the community. These corridors have
been established because of their physical orientation relative to the San Jacinto
Mountains or other important natural features, the design precedent that has
been established and/or their importance as a vehicular "link" in the City's
transportation network. With the scenic corridor designation, special design
features, such as upgraded landscaping, a high quality building design, and
appropriate ratio of building area to site area and upgrades to the pedestrian and
bicycle transportation facilities are required.
It �
The physical design of existing buildings and sites along scenic corridors
throughout the community predominately and consistently suggest that of a high
quality visual environment, through the development of buildings with
architectural individuality and uniqueness, upgraded on-site landscaping along
public streets and interior to each property, attractively landscaped median
islands, a recognition of the importance of pedestrian friendliness to, from and
within neighborhood convenience centers and an appropriate balance of building
area to site development area. The proposed project is designed in a
Mediterranean architectural character typical many shopping centers found

possess a high degree of architectural individuality and uniqueness, as is typically
found along Major Thoroughfares in the community or required of new
development proposals within the community, and is therefore contrary to on-site
development strategies specified in the General Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing,the City Council
hereby denies without prejudice Case No. 5.0827 (Planned Development District No.
259).

My name is John Harrell, I live at 325 W.Overlook Road and I am the
Chair of the HSPB. I am here to clear up a misconception. Both the Planning
Commission and the City Council have stated in public that the HSPB does
not consider the Alpha Beta Building to be historically significant because
it had not sent a recommendation to the City Council for designation as a
Class I Site. This is not true. We have stated in the public record that we
consider the site to be of historic significance - in a report approved at our
meeting on May 9 and forwarded to the Planning Commission and the City
Council.
The Alpha Beta Building - this is the historic name for the building
more commonly called `the Ralph's' - has been placed on the agenda for the
October 10 meeting, when a public hearing will be held to consider it as a
Class I Site.
At the HSPB meeting on 11 April, the Planning staff presented the
development plan for the parcels at the corner of Ramon and Sunrise,
which included the demolition of the Alpha Beta Building. In response to
the concern that we were being asked to make comments on the historic
building being affected so late in the review process, the Planning Director
stated that "the Board can do fact finding and then report to the [Planning]
Commission." A subcommittee of the HSPB was formed and that
subcommittee submitted a report for the Boards approval at the May 9
meeting. The approval was unanimous and the HSPB then voted to present
the report to the Planning Commission. This was done at their meeting on
May 24. HSPB assumes that this report was forwarded to the City Council
as it is part of the public record.
The May meeting of the HSPB was also the public hearing for Fire
Station #1, a significant public building by Albert Frey, which was
recommended for designation and forwarded to City Council for approval.
Thank you for supporting that recommendation. The application for this
designation had been pending for quite some time and the board was
hesitant to forward another Frey Building to the council at virtually the
same time. We assumed that the report that was prepared and presented
to the Planning Commission would be considered more carefully than it has
been, when the historic significance of this building is considered. Instead
it appears that only the absence of the recommendation for designation as
a Class I site by the HSPB has been considered.
At the HSPB meeting in May, there was more public comment given
in favor of preserving the Alpha/Beta Building than for the Fire Station.
This comment was repeated, indeed expanded, at the Planning Commission
hearing. The importance of this piece of Frey's work has been emphasized
repeatedly in these comments. The public should be allowed to address
this issue in the forum of a public discussion of the historic significance,
not a review of a proposal that assumes the demolition of the very
building being discussed. 4 urge the City Council. to delay thk icsnP until
has had aV oppertjffiity to copcidP,r the building at the public-
hearing it, Getebe J--�
And, on a less formal level, we apologize for the timing, that we did
not move to consider designation earlier. We actually intended to
fascilitate the process. It appears we did just the opposite.

meeting begins at 1:30 p.m. (public hearings begin at 2:00 p.m.) in the Council Chambers at City
Hall, 3200 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs.
The purpose of the hearing is to consider proposed Preliminary Planned Development District and
Tentative Parcel Map applications for the development of an integrated shopping center consisting
of a 57,541 square foot supermarket, a 14,883 square foot drug store with drive-through pharmacy,
two quick-service restaurant pads consisting of3,589 and 3,000 square feet,respectively,and various

proposed Tentative Parcel Map contemplates the subdivision of the 9.9 acre gross area into 9 lots
ranging in size from 0.22 acres to 2.82 acres. The project is proposed to be completely developed

been prepared, which recommends various traffic control measures on Ramon Road and Sunrise
Way to mitigate the potential increase in traffic associated with site development. Members of the

NOTICE OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
Case No. 5.0827 (PD 259)
Tentative Parcel Map No. 29638
Lundin Development Company
Northwest corner of Ramon Road and Sunrise Way
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Springs,
California, will hold a public hearing at its meeting of April 26, 2000. The Planning Commission
meeting begins at 1:30 p.m. (public hearings begin at 2:00 p.m.) in the Council Chambers at City
Hall, 3200 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs.
The purpose of the hearing is to consider proposed Preliminary Planned Development District and
Tentative Parcel Map applications for the development of an integrated shopping center consisting
of a 57,541 square foot supermarket, a 14,883 square foot drug store with drive-through pharmacy,
two quick-service restaurant pads consisting of3,589 and 3,000 square feet,respectively,and various
retail shop space consisting of 24,071 square feet,on approximately 9.9 gross acres(8.29 net acres)
of land located at the northwest corner of Ramon Road and Sunrise Way,C-I zone, Section 14. The
proposed Tentative Parcel Map contemplates the subdivision of the 9.9 acre gross area into 9 lots
ranging in size from 0.22 acres to 2.82 acres. The project is proposed to be completely developed
in one phase. The existing shopping center development on the easternmost 5 acres of the site is
proposed to be removed and replaced with new commercial development in conjunction with this
proposal.
An Environmental Assessment/Initial Study has been prepared and will be reviewed by the
Commission at the meeting. A draft Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact has been
prepared for the subject proposal. Due to the projected increase in the amount of automobile traffic
on Ramon Road and Sunrise Way and in the immediate area of the project site, a traffic study has
been prepared, which recommends various traffic control measures on Ramon Road and Sunrise
Way to mitigate the potential increase in traffic associated with site development. Members of the
public may view this document in the Department of Planning and Building, City Hall, 3200 E.
Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs, and submit written comments to the Planning Commission
at, or prior to, the hearing described in this notice.
If any individual or group challenges the action in court, issues raised may be limited to only those
issues raised at the public hearing described in this notice or in written correspondence at, or prior
to, the Planning Commission hearing.
An opportunity will be given at said hearing for all interested parties to be heard. Questions
regarding this case may be directed to Steve Hayes,Department of Planning and Building,(760)323-
8245.

including the initial study, the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration and all written and
oral testimony presented.
THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Pursuant to CEQA, the City Council finds as follows:
The Initial Study has been completed in compliance with CEQA, the State CEQA
Guidelines, and the City's CEQA procedures contained in the City's CEQA
Guidelines. The Planning Commission has previously reviewed and considered
and the City Council has independently reviewed and considered the information
contained in the Initial Study and finds that it adequately discusses the potentially
significant environmental effects of the proposed project, which includes mitigation
measures for traffic and circulation such as,the payment of Transportation Uniform
Mitigation Fund (TUMF) fees upon issuance of building permits, infrastructure
improvements along the project frontage (Ramon Road and Sunrise Way),
mitigation measures for land use and planning and noise such as, limitations on the
hours of large truck deliveries for the supermarket and the installation of six or
eight-foot tall walls along appropriate portions of shared property lines with adjacent
residential development, mitigation measures for water such as raising building
pads one-foot above natural grade, mitigation measures for air quality, both during
construction and associated long-term impacts and historic preservation and that,
on the basis of the initial study and comments received during the public review
process, there is no substantial evidence that there will be any significant adverse
environmental effects as a result of this project. However, pursuant to Section
15270 of CEQA, the City Council finds that CEQA does not apply to projects which
are denied and that no further environmental action is required for projects which
are denied.
Section 2: Pursuant to Section 9403.00 of the Zoning Ordinance,the City Council finds
that:
a. The proposed Planned Development District is consistent with the
applicable general and specific plans. However, the proposed site plan and
architecture is not adequate as described below.
The proposed Planned Development District would allow for a neighborhood
commercial shopping center consisting of a 57,342 square foot Ralph's
Supermarket, a 14,884 square foot drug store with drive-through pharmacy, two
quick service restaurants with drive-through lanes (a 3,589 square foot Carl's Jr.
and a 2,465 square foot speculative pad restaurant), and various retail shop space
of approximately 26,220 square feet. The application, as proposed, is permitted
pursuant to Section 9403.00 (Planned Development District), which requires
consideration and approval of a Preliminary Planned Development application by
the Planning Commission and City Council.
The subject property is designated as "NCC" (Neighborhood Convenience
Center) on the City's General Plan Land Use Map and "C-1"(Central Retail
Business Zone) pursuant to the Zoning Map. The site has frontage along
Ramon Road and Sunrise Way, both of which are designated as scenic corridors
in the City's General Plan.
The General Plan serves as a long-term guideline for the development of the
community and is required for each city in California, pursuant to the California
Government Code. The Neighborhood Convenience Center General Plan
designation is primarily intended to provide for an opportunity for convenience
commercial uses to be oriented directly to the residential neighborhoods they
need by means of a planned commercial complex, serve as an integrated
element of the neighborhood and to promote a harmonious relationship between
convenience services and the residential environment through compatibility of site
design and architectural treatment of structures. Commercial/retail shopping
centers that serve both residents and visitors is specified as a recommended land
use pursuant to the Neighborhood Convenience Center designation in the
General Plan, provided these centers can create a harmonious relationship with
surrounding residential development as specified above. The City Council finds
that the proposed land uses and redevelopment of the subject site are consistent
with the General Plan.
Pursuant to the Shopping Centers Subsection of the City's General Plan,
shopping centers are to be developed as a unit, in an orderly fashion, with an
organized arrangement of stores, parking and service, at such time and to such
size as is warranted by population and supportable by available purchasing
power. The proposed project includes two primary buildings, one (supermarket)
in the westernmost portion of the property and one (drug store) near the
intersection of Ramon Road and Sunrise Way. Additionally, the project
contemplates the development of two additional Shops buildings (one along the
north property line and the other attached to the south side of the supermarket)
and three additional pad buildings, primarily located adjacent to the two project
street frontages adjacent to vehicular ingress/egress points. The proposed
building density, size and organization of the proposed site plan leads to a
parking space deficiency in relation to that required per the City's Zoning Code,
with minimal parking in areas that would directly benefit and serve many future
retailers, such as those within the Shops 2 building and Retail Pad A.
Additionally,with the proposed building density and resulting building organization
as described above, a non-desirable pedestrian circulation pattern for patrons
who would walk to this neighborhood convenience center would be created, as
the primary paths of pedestrian travel would require the crossing of many drive
aisles to reach any on-site destination, all of which is inconsistent with the
purpose and intent of the General Plan. Within the Neighborhood Convenience
Center General Plan Land Use designation, site plan design which encourages
the use of neighborhood centers by pedestrians of the immediate neighborhoods
(i.e. a pedestrian "friendly" design) is strongly recommended, as these
Neighborhood Centers provide services to a significant number of residents and
tourists and tend to be located close to medium or high density population bases.
Also, the vehicular circulation pattern found on the proposed site plan is not
orderly, as one-way drive aisles would restrict and complicate vehicular
movements throughout the main field of parking east of the supermarket and a
series of dead ends would be derived throughout the project, which would lead to
an awkward circulation pattern for large delivery vehicles. Finally, the building
orientation and organization causes visibility of many loading, storage and trash
areas, especially the drug store facility, as the main loading area and rear
elevations of the building faces the primary field of parking for the supermarket.
Pursuant to the Community Design Element of the City's General Plan, all Major
Thoroughfares (including Ramon Road and Sunrise Way) are designated Scenic
Corridors, where the highest level of design quality is expected for all new
development within the community. These corridors have been established
because of their physical orientation relative to the San Jacinto Mountains or
other important natural features, the design precedent that has been established
and/or their importance as a vehicular "link" in the City's transportation network.
With the scenic corridor designation, special design features, such as upgraded
landscaping, a high quality building design, and appropriate ratio of building area
to site area and upgrades to the pedestrian and bicycle transportation facilities
are required.
The physical design of existing buildings and sites along scenic corridors
throughout the community predominately and consistently suggest that of a high
quality visual environment, through the development of buildings with
architectural individuality and uniqueness, upgraded on-site landscaping along
public streets and interior to each property, attractively landscaped median
islands, a recognition of the importance of pedestrian friendliness to, from and
within neighborhood convenience centers and an appropriate balance of building
area to site development area. The proposed project is designed in a
Mediterranean architectural character typical many shopping centers found
throughout the Southern California region and beyond. The project does not
possess a high degree of architectural individuality and uniqueness, as is typically
found along Major Thoroughfares in the community, or required of new
development proposals within the community, and is therefore contrary to on-site
development strategies specified in the General Plan.
b. The said use is necessary or desirable for the development of the
community and is in harmony with the various elements or objectives of
the General Plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses or to future uses
specifically permitted in the zones in which the proposed use is to be
located.
The proposed Preliminary Planned Development District application for a single-
phased, neighborhood convenience center, consisting of a 57,342 square foot
Ralph's Supermarket, a 14,884 square foot drug store with drive-through
pharmacy,two quick service restaurants with drive-through lanes (a 3,589 square
foot Carl's Jr. and a 2,465 square foot speculative pad restaurant), and various
retail shop space of approximately 26,220 square feet would provide retail
services geared toward both residents and tourists of the community, consistent
with the objectives of the Neighborhood Convenience Center component of the
General Plan and the zone in which the site is located (i.e. the site is zoned "C-1
Central Retail Business Zone).
Although the use is necessary and desirable for reasons stated in Section 2a
above, the site and architectural design of the proposed neighborhood shopping
center is not in harmony with the various applicable site design and building
design elements or objectives of the General Plan.
C. The design or improvements of the proposed planned development are
not consistent with the General Plan (i.e.The site is not physically suitable
for the proposed density of development contemplated by the proposed
planned development and the overall project design is not consistent with
community design standards).
As stated earlier, pursuant to the Shopping Centers Subsection of the City's
General Plan, shopping centers are to be developed as a unit, in an orderly
fashion, with an organized arrangement of stores, parking and service, at such
time and to such size as is warranted by population and supportable by available
purchasing power. The proposed project includes two primary buildings, one
(supermarket) in the westernmost portion of the property and one (drug store)
near the intersection of Ramon Road and Sunrise Way. Additionally, the project
contemplates the development of two additional Shops buildings (one along the
north property line and the other attached to the south side of the supermarket)
and three additional pad buildings, primarily located adjacent to the two project
street frontages adjacent to vehicular ingress/egress points. The proposed
building density, size and organization of the proposed site plan leads to a
parking space deficiency in relation to that required per the City's Zoning Code,
with minimal parking in areas that would directly benefit and serve many future
retailers, such as those within the Shops 2 building and Retail Pad A.
Additionally,with the proposed building density and resulting building organization
as described above, a non-desirable pedestrian circulation pattern for patrons
who would walk to this neighborhood convenience center would be created, as
the primary paths of pedestrian travel would require the crossing of many drive
aisles to reach any on-site destination, all of which is inconsistent with the
purpose and intent of the General Plan. Within the Neighborhood Convenience
Center General Plan Land Use designation, site plan design which encourages
the use of neighborhood centers by pedestrians of the immediate neighborhoods
(i.e. a pedestrian "friendly" design) is strongly recommended, as these
Neighborhood Centers provide services to a significant number of residents and
tourists and tend to be located close to medium or high density population bases.
Also, the vehicular circulation pattern found on the proposed site plan is not
orderly, as one-way drive aisles would restrict and complicate vehicular
movements throughout the main field of parking east of the supermarket and a
series of dead ends would be derived throughout the project, which would lead to
an awkward circulation pattern for large delivery vehicles. Finally, the building
orientation and organization would augment the on-site visibility of many loading,
storage and trash areas, especially the drug store facility, as the main loading
area and rear elevations of the building faces the primary field of parking for the
supermarket.
The physical design of existing buildings and sites along scenic corridors
throughout the community predominately and consistently suggest that of a high
quality visual environment, through the development of buildings with
architectural individuality and uniqueness, upgraded on-site landscaping along
public streets and interior to each property, attractively landscaped median
islands, a recognition of the importance of pedestrian friendliness to, from and
within neighborhood convenience centers and an appropriate balance of building
area to site development area. The proposed project is designed in a
Mediterranean architectural character typical many shopping centers found
throughout the Southern California region and beyond. The project does not
possess a high degree of architectural individuality and uniqueness, as is typically
found along Major Thoroughfares in the community or required of new
development proposals within the community, and is therefore contrary to on-site
development strategies specified in the General Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, the City Council does not consider
preservation of the existing buildings on the property in the desirable or in the best
interest of the continued development of the community, believes the rehabilitation and
expansion of this center is needed but believes that the site design is inadequate and the
architectural elevations insufficient. The City Council is willing to reconsider its action if
the project is redesigned to address the concerns raised herein, including the density of
development, pedestrian and vehicular circulation, trash areas, architectural creativity,
orientation of buildings to each other, massing and similar issues, and, based upon the
foregoing, hereby denies without prejudice Case No. 5.0827 (Planned Development
District No. 259).
