PD 193 AMENDED - EL CIELO ASSOCIATES - APPEAL Consideration of appeal by James Cioffi representing El Cielo Associates from Planning Commission denial of application to amend Planned Development District 193 for a fast-food use and drive-through restaurant at the El Cielo Center on the NE comer of El Cielo and Ramon Road. Mayor stated he would abstain due to a client relationship, and turned the meeting over to Mayor pro tem Hodges. Director of Planning&Zoning reviewed his memorandum, noting(fiat the Commission's denial was on a 4-1-0-1 vote, based on inappropriateness of the use, setting of precedent, and that the (116- use was specifically excluded in the original approval of lire P.D. He noted two minor changes 059 to the negative declaration, in that the project does comply with the Airport Noise Compatibility study, and the size of the property building is 2,000 square feet, not 3,000 square feet. He displayed plans on the boards, noting that in terms of other fast-food services, it is a smaller scale restaurant; that egress would be a right-turn only onto Ramon, leaving the left turn eastbound on Ramon, however, the staff felt if the project were approved, the driveway would need to be redesigned; and that the architecture and site plan was not a particular concern, since it fits into the overall existing center and its architecture. In response to question by Council, he stated that if the project does not proceed, he was not recommending a reconfiguration of the driveway at this time, but something may need to be done in the future. Mayor pro tem declared the hearing opened. The following persons spoke in opposition to the appeal, collectively representing the following concerns: increased traffic hazards on Ramon Road for condominium projects on the north side on each side of the intersection; devaluation of property; increased noise, trash, insects and odor pollution; increase in vandalism, burglary,and property damage to Pueblo Sands units;a reduced image of Palm Springs to Airport visitors; disruption and reduced quality of lifestyle; addition of an undesirable element of people- including loitering by teens from the High School. Jeanette Crebs, 401 S. El Cielo Harriet Weiss, Pueblo Sands Peggy Jennings, 401 S. El Cielo Mona Liebling, Pueblo Sands Roland Garcia, Pueblo Sands (also read an opposition from Suzrume Ducetle) Council Minutes 4-7-93 Pg. 2 Jim Stevenson, Pres. La Palm Homeowners Association Brace Gayle, 401 S. El Cielo Tegan Brown, Pueblo Sands Joe Calderon, 401 S. El Cielo Chester Curzon (?), La Palm Aili Gidlof, Pueblo Sands Bob Jennings, 401 S. El Cielo(also questioned whether CEQA requirements were followed, and availability of an environmental assessment report to the public,and that cost for increased police would offset any increased sales taxes from the project) Florence Almond, 401 S. El Cielo Elizabeth Webster, La Palm Sherry Joseph, La Palm Mr.Woodbury(?)La Palm for himself and his mother(also opposed the aesthetics of the project) Dee Dee Stone, 142 Eastlake, stated it is an unpopular concept. Sue Gayle, 401 S. El Cielo Tony Biando, La Palm Todd Crebs, 401 S. El Cielo(adding that fast-food places are gathering places for teens; and that other businesses will not benefit from it; similar comments concerning crime negating any tax revenues) Tony Aguilar, 1975 Mark Leslie, took exception that orders being taken or cooking smells could be observed more than 100 feet away; that the community youth needs more activity; that many residents who complain are not fulltime residents; and that the community youth are future community leaders. Dave Baron, attorney representing the applicant, stated that the partners for the project consist of long-term residents and community leaders and involved citizens: Paul Payne, Jack Oberle, Mike Harris, Curt Ealy and Betty Williams; that he felt the Commission's denial was based on policy issue of whether the type of use was wanted, traffic concerns, and loitering, noise and crime; that in terms of precedence, the fast-food drive-through use is already a fact in the community, both in terms on built and non-built projects, and he did not think anyone had opposed the design or layout; that traffic concerns may be legitimate, and the developer agrees to modification of the left-tum eastbound on Ramon, i.e., widening the driveway entrance, and added that the traffic flow will he at Grade B,noting that Desert Hospital was recently approved at Grade D; that concerning loitering, similar arguments were made when the shopping center was built, and they did not materialize; that such problems do not exist at any other fast-food facility at any other place in town, and there is no more crime associated with them than with any other business; that the developer is willing to provide private security to disperse crowds and teens if that becomes a problem; that there is already a considerable noise factor on the street 24- hours per day, and most residents live 150 feet away; that the developer is willing to close the drive-through portion at 10 p.m.; that problems of crime associated with Pueblo Sands do not relate to the proposed use, and the developer is willing to either increase the height of the wall, or add an "unfriendly" hedge. He stated that the Council made a commitment to improve the business environment in the community, and there have been good efforts downtown; that the remainder of the community still suffers, and there is a distinct competitive disadvantage for this shopping center,in that all others have drive-through restaurants;and that drive-throughs are here to stay. Bill Kunzman (sp?) traffic engineer for the developer, provided an explanation supporting that the increased traffic would not be significant - less than 1/2%, viewed in terms of the current volume of 85,300 daily cars through the intersection;that the driveway entrance on Ramon would be widened; that left turns into the driveway are currently illegal, and to preclude drivers from doing so as they are doing, one option that would be proposed is a raised bollard, which does not produce vehicle damage, but is psychology inhibiting. James Cioffi,architect, stated that the testimony was emotional,and that fret remains that permit valuation in the community in February was zero for new residnetial,apartments,condominiums, hotels, commercial or industrial, and a total of over$300,000 for miscellaneous permits; that the city is depressed, and if the Council truly wants to be pro-business,business needs help; that the site plan works, and he was available to answer questions; that the developer is willing to work with the homeowners and to meet with them and to try to cull out emotional issues, and mitigate factual concerns. Tom Gattburg, Chia Road, stated that the community suffers from old attitudes; that the commercial vacancy in the city is at an all-time high; and that while the quite community may be nice, economically the City will not survive with such attitudes. J � Council Minutes 4-7-93 Pg. 3 1. P.D. 193 (Continued) Bill Drury (Planning Commissioner) questioned whether a commission could lobby for his case when he had a conflict of interest. Steve Lyle, property manager for the El Cielo Center„ stated that two stores in the complex are currently vacant; that business is needed in the center to bring in customers; that the fast-food service will attract customers who will come back to the other stores;, that families also patronize fast-food services; that the community does not need more business failures; and that rents in the complex are less than in Cathedral City, but an attraction is needed. Mike Helm(Planning Commissioner)stated that it was not a policy of philosophical issue, rather the denial was based on fact that two of the three original specific exclusions were removed since the center was first approved - no take out, and no liquor. There were no further appearances, and the hearing was closed. Councilmember Roller-Spurgin raised a series of questions, which were responded to as follows: Police Chief stated that a fast-food offers no more problems than arty other type of restaurant, and that information was conveyed to the Council regarding the accident frequency at the Ramon intersection, as well as the reported crime at both condominium complexes. Mr. Baron stated that they do not have a signed commitment from any major chain as yet,but it will be a franchise and not company owned(also noted that developer is willing to agree;to a 9 p.m. closure on the drive-through). Director of Planning&Zoning stated that the nearest condominium unit is 180 feet from the drive-through, and that closure of a shopping center usually has a negative impact on a neighborhood. Mr. Lyle stated if the center failed, it would affect surrounding property values. Councilmember Lyons stated that he respects the Planning Commission, and felt it was very serious to overrule its recommendation; that he reviewed the information from the police statistics, and there are no more frequency of accidents at the intersection than any other intersection, nor is crime inordinately high; that the property owners are willing to establish it security component which would lessen it even more, as would a higher wall; that regarding a gateway to the Airport, he felt a failed shopping center would be more damaging; that a totally inflexible attitude cannot be taken towards business, and he hoped the residents would be willing to work with the developer to mitigate their concerns; and that other fast-food services do not have rats or cockroaches. Councilmember Schlendorf stated that although she did not personally care for fast-food, it is an acceptable use and people patronize them; that she has looked hard at why it should be at the proposed site; that she is pro-business, and she has read all of the minutes relating to the center, as well as sitting at the intersection for four hours at different times of different days; that there are traffic hazards which exist, and which must be addressed even if the;use is not approved; that she considered a broken promise a very serious matter, and the original approval provided that there would not be any drive-through; that the site was zoned professional and was changed to resort commercial, which she felt was incorrect, resulting in a shopping center that will have a difficult time succeeding; and that unless she could see that there would be a significant positive impact to the residents who were promised that there would be no drive-through, she could not approve the appeal. Councilmember Reller-Spurgin stated that as the Council talks about budget issues, she Ihears that no one wants tax increases, nor service levels reduced, nor anything built in their neighborhoods that might help the city economically. Motion was made by Schlendorf, and seconded by Hodges, to uphold)the Planning Comnission denial. Said motion was later withdrawn. Mayor pro tern stated that the center exists because the developer agreed to original conditions; that the City has given away two of those conditions, and the remaining;one is probably the most important; that she was not opposed to emotional testimony; that the intersection is one of the worst in terms of ingress and egress and something needs to be done with the driveway into the center; that she felt the condition for no drive-through was an obligation of the prior council and planning commission and it should be upheld. Council Minutes 4-7-93 Pg. 4 1. P.D. 193 (Continued) Motion by Reller-Spurgin, seconded by Lyons, to overrule the Planning Commission and grant the appeal, including a 9 p.m. closure of the drive-through, failed to carry by the following vote: AYES: Lyons & Reller-Spurgin NOES: Hodges and Schlendorf ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: Maryanov No further action was taken; Planning Commission action stands. PUBLIC COMMENTS: a) Comments concerning Item 6 Bill Byrne, urged approval of Item 6. Dr. Lovekin stated that there are private owners in the Palm Hills area, and it is the best land for the future development of Palm Springs, and supporting the Conservancy will destroy their property. b) The following persons spoke on matters not related to an agenda item. P.S. Youth Center: Ken Feenstra, Youth Center Board Vice-President, stated that the Board offered its property, valued at $1 million, to the City, provided it continue to operate the facility as a youth center; that if the Council rejects the offer, an indication of that would be appreciated at this time; that the Board has no choice but to place the condition that if the facility is not operated by the City as a youth center, it also conditions the gift that it be allowed to repurchase the site. Earl Sandergray, a marshal arts teacher, asked that the Council accept the offer and keep it a youth center, which he felt is an excellent resource for the community', youth. Karen Aguilar, 1975 Mark Leslie, Youth Center Board Secretary, asked that the Council take a stand on a shared vision for the youth; that the Board has agreed to raise $40,000 per year to cover program costs, and to give the building to the City provided it be used for a youth center; that if the City could not continue providing it, or a comparable facility, the Board would take (109- back the property and reimburse the City for any negative cash flow during the time in which he 005 operated the site. She questioned how the Council finds money for senior programs. Dr. Sheri (?)Fisher, Youth Center Board, read a portion of the grant deed originally conveying property from the City to the Youth Center, and conditions imposed in the sale; and challenged how the Council could expect the Board to gift deed a$1 million building free and clear, for the City to do whatever it pleased with it. Dee Dee Stone, Eastlake, commented on getting the word out as to what a terrific place Palm Springs is to live in, and hence, business will improve. John Hollinger, Olive Way, stated that kids are always the ones the hardest hit when cuts are made; that the City has operated the Youth Center since January in a congenial way, and now it purports to not have enough money to continue, but it could find it if the building were gift deeded without any restrictions; and that CDBG funds were allocated,and he questioned why the air coolers could not be installed. Dave Baron, stated that he is a new member on the Youth Center Board, suggested that the Council and the Board explore alternatives looking for some common ground to move forward on; that the two are at cross purposes now; that everyone wants a piece of the financial pie, and asked that no decision be made on the granting of the building either with or without conditions, but rather appoint a committee of each side to explore options. Council Minutes 4-7-93 Pg. 5 Sue Crandall, High School Counselor, stated that many programs are being eliminated, and that the youth center is located to serve high school and other student populations, many of whom are at-risk youths. Fred Ebeling stated that a way must be found to make certain there are constructive alternatives for the youth, other than the streets. Councilmember Schlendorf stated that there has been misinformation what is being considered; that the city has not neglected the kids (Director of Parks &Recreation confirmed for her that 1500-2000 kids are being served through leisure services), and when the Youth Center failed Financially last year,its Board talked about joining another organization and other Board members talked about giving it to the City,with no questions; that she did not hike her honesty impugned, and if the kids have been let down, it was through the Board; that it is not the city's job to raise children. Mayor stated that until lately the Youth Center was run by its Board without city involvement; and the Council wants them to continue that way, and it is not trying to take the building away; that last year, CDBG funds of$67,000 were allocated for improvements at the Youth Center, however, a recipient agency must show that it will continue the programs, and the Council was told that the facility was broke, and later discovered a trust deed of $150,000; that the City prefers the Youth Center continue operating the facility, and if it demonstrates that ability, the CDBG funds can be released; that if it wants to turn it over to the City, the Council would be dedicated to operating it as a youth center, but would not bind future Councils to that; that the City provides Little League programs,parks and other youth programs, and has worked with the School District on programs, and the City is being misrepresented as trying to take away the building; that it should be a private enterprise, and operated that way;; that the Youth Center has known about this for sometime, and has not gotten its act together. Councilmember Schlendorf stated that the Council has a public responsibility that organizations will use the grant funds appropriately and when the Youth Center closed last Fall, it must now show financial statement and projections that show it will be able to operate for the next year, in order to allow the City to release the grant funds; and added that the United Way operates in a similar manner. Other Non-agenda Items: Tony Aguilar, 1975 Mark Leslie, Greater Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, commented on significant crimes in the past ten days, and questioned how the Council could look to reducing the police service, stating that it is a vital service. Art Greenwald, Vera Crux, asked that the Council cut salaries and not safety services. Ray Picard, Calle Arendas, expressed concern about delay in reorganizing the Palm Springs and Cathedral City Fire Departments, and urged that the Council move forward, and believed it will produce other cost savings, and achieve what the prior ballot issue hoped to do. He stated that he also spoke to the Cathedral City Council during the past week. LEGISLATIVE ACTION: 2.

Director of Planning&Zoning reviewed his memorandum, adding that if the City fails to adopt the standards, the SCAQMD will adopt it and enforce it in the City; that the ordinance follows the model ordinance for the Valley, and follows standard grading practiczs, and should not be of any surprise to developers; and that the ordinance incorporates all dust control measures into one Chapter in the Code. He stated that the Tribal Council responded with suggestions for minor changes, which were noted, and incorporated into a revised Ordinance. In answer to question by Council, he stated that there are alternatives to*,)aving for controlling (103- parking lots, and options would have to be explored; however, there will not be any paving of 001) the Equestrian Center; that Demuth parking lot has been a Capital Improvement item for some time, and a condition of the City's use permit.

He reviewed the fee 018) changes, and described the membership makeup of the Villagefest Conunittee, noting that the Commission approved the recommendation by a 5-2 vote. He also stated that while all food vendors were not notified of the proposal, a number of them were contacted and the matter discussed, and that it is not within the Committee's responsibility to vote on the issue. ( 114- 008) Councilmember Hodges expressed concern that the weekly rate was too high for the food vendors, and she felt it would overall hurt the Villagefest; that the vendors have to make a profit; that she was not opposed to a small increase, but felt $15 per week was exorbitant; that the fee should be collected, routinely, on the Friday before the event; and that the vendor should not have to pay $15 to cover the cost of staff physically collecting the fee. Councilmember Schlendorf stated that sometimes people sign up and then do not show up; that she understood Councilmember Hodges' concerns; and questioned if the number of food vendors is limited.
