J. Johnson, Lily of the Valley Church. REPORT OF POSTING OF AGENDA: City Clerk reported that the agenda was posted in accordance with Council procedures on July 16, 1993. COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, HOUSING AUTHORITY, INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, FINANCING AUTHORITY: No Business .APPROVAL OF MINUTES: It was moved by Schlendorf, seconded by Hodges, and unanimously carried, that the Minutes of June 22 and 23, 1993, be approved. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1. PD 227 - P.R. TAYLOR (APPEAL) Consideration of appeal by the P.R.Taylor Group from Planning Commission denial of a,planned development district in-lieu of a change of zone to CSC (community shopping center); and initiation by the City for a General Plan amendment to provide a CSC designation at the SE corner of Sunrise and Vista Chino, currently P/RGA-6 zones, Section 12. Planner III, Deborah Goodwin, reviewed the details of the memorandum of the Director of Planning&Zoning,noting that the center would contain an anchor supermarket,a drug shore,and assorted retail shops, along with pad sites on Vista Chino for drive-through services; that the gas station was requested to be at the Vista Chino intersection, however, the Commission approved a site at the Cerritos intersection; that 4 drive-through sites were requested, and only 2 approved; that there is no connection between Sunrise and Cerritos on the back;portion of the site; that a median was recommended on both Vista chino and Sunrise; and that significant impacts were identified, with proper mitigation measures. In answer to question by Council, City Attorney stated that all correspondence received should be made part of the record. Mayor noted that he has also received a number of letters. Ms. Goodwin explained the split vote of the Commission. Mayor declared the hearing opened. Walt Blackwell, Sunrise Racquet Club Association, Vice-President, spoke in opposition to changing the General Plan, and contended that Mr. Summers assumptions are incorrect, i.e., that tax receipts will increase based on assumption that there is an abundance of unfilled consumer demand - he, however, felt there is rather a lack of it, evidenced by the vacancy factor; that tourists have neighborhood shopping center, and the backbone of tourism here is the downtown attraction; that other businesses will abandon existing sites and not produce increased business license fees, thereby simply shifting tax revenue; that additional police will be required to patrol the area; that there are existing restaurant and drive-throughs; that building permit fees are not a profit center, rather to offset the cost of inspection, etc; that there are vacant supermarkets; that the surrounding area does want the property developed, but not in this manner. Manager of the Sunrise Racquet Club presented 100 signatures in opposition to the project, based on noise and trash pollution,and belief that there will be empty stores, graffiti and gangs;and she questioned where the new homes are to be built which are implied in the applicants argument, since there have only been a few permits issued in the past 90 days. Ed Dietrick, Sagewood Finance Committee, feels that a great deal of effort was put into the recently updated General Plan, and it should not be changed; that there needs to be more in-depth study of the need for the project;, that Lucky stores want to expand the, existing center, which should be seriously considered; and that he would like to work with other homeowners in the surrounding area towards developing the site. Council Minutes 7-21-93, Pg. 2 1. P.D. 227 &GPA AMENDMENT APPEAL(Continued) Mrs. Lee Forrest, Sandalwood, spoke at-length in opposition, expressing similar views as those of others in opposition, adding that the State economy is in a slump; that there is no population explosion in Palm Springs; that the architectural aspect is tasteless; that the developer employed bullying tactics in calling the Commission incompetent; that the designation of Vista Chino as the Highway leaves question as to what will be developed, and under what guidelines; that she would like to see a village-type center at this location which she felt would attract tourists as well as residents and serve as a model for the Valley; and that the project would blight the neighborhood and create more problems. Charles Howell, Sandalwood, stated that he is an architect and holds a financial degree, and that the parking variance is unwarranted since the site is undeveloped;that there is no marketing study to show that the center will perform, only financial analysis; that a proposal to expand the Lucky center was heard this date by the Commission; that there should be letters of intent from potential tenants; and that unless there are facts to support that it will even happen, the zoning should not be given. Nick Boccumini, Sandalwood, stated that this idea has been heard numerous times in the past four years; that the Council has had a great amount of detail; that the staff report indicates build out would exceed acceptable emission levels, which staff says would be acceptable when balanced against the benefits of the project; that he feels the negative impacts would be avoided if the density of the development was reduced; that prior Council policy was that there would not be shopping centers at an intersection, and when the Planning Commission placed the "floating dot" at the intersection, the Council reversed that and placed it specifically on the Lucky center site; and that he felt the General Plan for this area should be reviewed again, with added input from those present who were not in attendance the first time. Gan Carter, President, Sagewood Homeowners Association, provided the Council with a packet of information(copy on file with the City Clerk),and noted the number of supermarkets currently located in Palm Springs, and identifying those which are leased, but closed; that the proposed project would result in homeowners adjacent to the project having to look at 30-ft of concrete walls of the buildings,and listening to trucks loading and backing up;that pools,patios and tennis courts abut the property and the enjoyment of these will be lost; and that the homeowners agree the property needs to be developed, and the corner is blighted, but they do not want rodents, noise, vandals or gangs, The following persons spoke in support of the project,mainly based on the need for a high-quality supermarket in the area; the opportunity to create jobs and improve the economy of Palm Springs; the opportunity to increase competition and stimulate improvements to the Lucky Center into making improvements which it has promised for sometime, as well as Von's and Ralph's; that the project will be in phases, and there will be future opportunity to dialogue as to final details; that over one-half of the community lives north of Tahquitz, but is only served by one supermarket; that it will spur improvement and growth in the north portion of the community; that there is already an abundance of Professional zoning and empty development in the community; that the community needs to encourage businesses which serve the people who live in it; that tax revenues will be increased to the City; and that added supermarket and stores will mean less travel trips by local residents to neighboring cities; that a positive signal will be sent to developers that they are welcome in Palm Springs: Rolph Arnhym, Chamber of Commerce.

P.D. 227 &GPA AMENDMENT APPEAL (Continued) Dan Summers, Applicant, asked that the Council approve the filing of a negative declaration with mitigation monitoring, and that: he has supplemental technical studies therefor; that the site provides the best shopping center location and will create money for the City and jobs in the community; that data relating to the General Plan update demonstrated the potential for new units in the area,compared to the potential for the remainder of the community; that there are currently two vacant supermarkets, and the two closest supermarkets are the same ones which are paying the rents keeping the two same markets closed;that the demographics for a supermarket are better at the subject site than at Ramon; and that he urged approval of the General Plan amendment and the Planned Development District. He stated that the project has undergone considerable redesigning than when it was submitted in January,even though the environmental assessment did not show impacts to the neighbors, and the sound will be directed toward the retention basin; that final plans are subject to approval of the Council, and he was willing to talk with the neighbors to see what can be done to assist them in their concerns; that he would prefer no sunset clause in the General Plan amendment; that condition 55 limits the number of drive-throughs to two, yet he has six companies interested, and he felt the location was a reasonable place for therm, noting that there are four approved on Ramon at Paseo Dorotea,which he felt the conditions on the street were less conducive for such facilities than on Vista Chino; that he proposed the condition on loading times be changed to prohibit between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.; that he felt condition fit should be deleted; and that condition 62,which would require a 24-hour security guard, is unreasonable, and unwarranted after his discussions with Capt. Valkenburg,and that the business should monitor its security needs as any other business does; and that due to the high volume of turf ie at the intersection of Vista Chino and Sunrise, it is a better site for the gas station, and asked that the 500-ft rule prohibition be waived, and the intersection be allowed for the use, rather than at Cerritos. Allen Sanborn, 255 N. El Cielo, stated that Mr. Summers has kept three firms busy in Palm Springs for the past two years working on this project, and has indicated intent to continue using Palm Springs as his temporary quarters, and the people who live here to help build and develop the project; that the Commission like the new architectural concepts, and felt it mitigated)some of the problems related to the site; that a "village atmosphere" has been included in the design, and it meets tenants needs; and that rich materials, and pedestrian enhancements and arcades will be included. Scot Fair, Real Estate Manger for Albertson's, Brea, stated that the company has conducted its own research and feasibility studies, and concluded that the intersection would support another supermarket; that it is currently located in both Cathedral City and La Quints, and both stores are doing quite well; that the company is well perceived in the area, and they expect the same would be true at the proposed site; that negotiations are currently underway with P.R.Taylor,but cannot proceed further until this decision is made. There were no further appearances, and the hearing was closed. The Mayor also declared a short recess, after which members reconvened. Councilmember Schlendorf stated that when the General Plan update was considered, and the zoning was denied, it was not associated with a specific project, rather that the process was in question; that at that time, she felt it was a very important issue and a hearing on it alone was needed, before any decision could be made on a CSC, particularly, since the NCC dot included restrictions as to the size, compared to a CSC, and a lot of community support was needed to demonstrate that it was desired by the community as part of its general plan. In answer to question by Council, Ms. Goodwin stated that if the project is denied, the staff is convinced that another application will come along in the future, because the site is better suited for commercial than professional use. Councilmember Lyons stated that the public reactions were analogous to "alien developer" concept; empty stores argument, but none of those empty fit the size, type or configuration of what is proposed; the Armageddon notion that a multi-million dollar project will cause the community to fall to crime and destruction; the "village shopping center" only, but no developer is proposing such a project; and the "not-in-my-backyard" idea. He stated he felt he was not elected for these reasons,and that any "pro-business"project which makes sense will be supported by him. Councilmember Reller-Spurgin stated that Palm Springs is a resort community, but is also her home and she was elected to show goal fiscal responsibility; that arguments are being made to not cut many services, but equal arguments to not build anything in their areas that might bring in needed revenues; that the fiscal picture will only change if business is encouraged, and she will support economic improvements that come forth like that. o,n }` Council Minutes 7-21-93, Pg. 4 1. P.D. 227 &GPA AMENDMENT APPEAL(Continued) Councilmember Schlendorf asked if there was anything the developer could do to prevent a tenant from purposefully paying rent and not keeping the store open. She also asked that the City Attorney see if the City has any recourse to address existing situations which are causing blight. Mr. Summers stated that the major tenants would be entering the area in competition with other stores,not in cornering the business,and it would be their best interest to ocoupy the premises and not just pay rent. Councilmember Schlendorf stated that the studies showed that one-half of the population is within 2 miles of the intersection,which will only increase given the potential area for development,and she was concerned there was only one supermarket serving it, and five serving the other one-half of the population. In answer to questions, Mr. Summers stated that the applicant is a limited partnership, of which P.R. Taylor is the major partner, a California corporation; and Ms. Goodwin stated that the developer provided a fiscal analysis. Councilmember Hodges stated that she felt very strongly that the General Plan should not be changed; that there is an existing shopping center across the street, as well as one proposed and approved at Gene Autry and Vista Chino; and that changing it now would not satisfy the immediate need for the intersection. Mayor stated that the Council did not act in haste with the General Plan update, that the public was made aware of what was happening, and once the Highway designation was placed on Vista Chino, the P-zone did not make any sense; that he felt commercial use was inevitable along the corridor and the General Plan should be amended;and that whenever pro-business occurs,he will give it due consideration, and if it makes sense, he will favor it. Resolution 18144 overruling the Planning Commission and amending the General Plan to provide CSC designation at the subject location, was presented; after which, it was moved by Schlendorf, seconded by Reller-Spurgin, and carried by the following vote, that R18144 be adopted, subject to revision to delete the sunset provision (which would have required a reversion to the Professional designation if the planned development district were not finalized): AYES: Lyons, Reller-Spurgin, Schlendorf&Maryanov NO: Hodges ABSENT: None A brief discussion followed in which a motion was made and withdrawn to approve the planned development district, however, there was a consensus that additional study and input was needed in order to fully address the conditions which Mr. Summers took exception to, and whether they should be modified or upheld, i.e., Nos. 55, 60, 61, 62 and the 500-ft rule, as well as a possible additional condition related to minority business enterprise goals. Mr. Summers stated that regarding the drive-throughs, the pad sites would only be developed if there are signed tenants; that he potentially has six; and that the market dictates the economics of them. Councilmernber Reller-Spurgin stated that she was not aware of any prohibition of drive-throughs. It was moved by Lyons, seconded by Schlendorf, and carried by the following vote, that consideration of the remainder of the appeal be continued to July 28, in order to allow more in- depth review: AYES: Hodges, Lyons, Schlendorf&Maryanov NO: Reller-Spurgin ABSENT: None Council Minutes 7-21-93, Pg. 5 PUBLIC "MEETING" ITEM: (Note: Thus item is not technically a public hearing, rather is noted here to provide a structured opportunity for public comment) 2. UTILITY USER TAX A public hearing on the consideration of a utility user tax is scheduled for July 28. One public meeting and one public hearing are required. Mayor noted that the public hearing on this matter will be on July 28. Greg Jackson, President of the P.S. Police Officers Association stated that 8 sworn positions and 4 civilian position have been cut in the Police Department through vacancies and attrition, representing one-half million dollars;that the Association supports the tax,to avoid any further cuts in fire or police services; that manpower and morale are very low, and the urged that the Council consider this as temporary, if not permanent, tax. He noted that the City of Riverside has a 10% (140- utility tax; and he commended the Council on its encouragement of business in the community. 007) Frank Coffey,2127 Brentwood,asked that the Council provide information as to the extend of cuts proposed on July 28; that he favored reduced benefits or salary structures; and asked whether the "hiring freeze" which he thought had been ordered, covered temporary positions, in that he felt when a position was vacated, it has been filled by promotion and temporary help. Mayor stated that the information is available from the Director of Finance, and noted that 47 positions have been eliminated since 1992, of which 37 were this fiscal year; and$1 million is included in the budget which represents employee benefit reductions. Chris Kramer, resident, stated that the P.S. Fire Safety Association favors,the tax, and that how it is implement, or the amount, is the decision of the Council. Fred Ebeling, asked how much the tax will cost the average homeowner, and whether it will be on the ballot for voter decision. Mayor stated that, hopefully, the matter would be on an April ballot, and if it is denied by the voters, there will be extensive cuts required in personnel. PUBLIC COMMENTS: a) Comments re Villagefest: Darrell Mead, 2074 Broadmoor, stated he is a book seller at Villagefest, and has never been cited or given notice of violating any rules, but has been informed that hel will no longer be able to sell because his books are not pre-1940; and that he felt if there was a change in the rules, he should be "grandfathered" and allowed to continue. Eric Mead also commented on this matter, noting that he sells along with his father, comics which are post 1940; and that he has questioned when the Villagefest committee meets, but has (050- not seen posted notices or its meetings, and was told if he attended, he would not be 018) allowed to speak. Councilmember Schlendorf stated that she and Councilmember Reller-Spurgin have been meeting with the Park & Recreation Commission subcommittee and the Villagefest Committee, and are targeting August 4 to present their report to the Council; that the rules adopted by the Council included the sale of antiquarian hooks, and Mr. Mead has changed his product line and there is a lot of confusion on this particular vendor, and the report should provide the information if the Council desires to change Villagefest rules, or the way in which it is operated. In answer to question by Council, City Attorney stated that if the committee reports to either the Council or the Commission, it is subject to the Brown Act, however, if it reports to staff, it potentially is not subject to the Act; and that he understood it is operated under staff direction, and that the Council said it should come under the Commission, but is a matter that has not come back to the Council. Mayor reminded the staff to make certain that matters that are left hanging need to be brought to the Council's attention. b) Came Allen presented "candy" packages to the Council, and expressed appreciation for the work of the Council on behalf of the community, even if she did not agree with all of its decisions. on , + Council Minutes 7-21-93, Pg. 6 c) Comments relating to matters not on the agenda: Tony Aguilar, Mark Leslie Drive, announced first annual golf tournament sponsored by the Greater P.S.

Councilmember Hodges stated that she felt this matter has been very poorly handled,and has been (143- continued and continued and she did not think that was the proper way to do business, nor was 004) it fair to those who bid or to those who are currently under contract. Councilmember Schlendorf added that six months for a matter to come to fruition is very bad,and the revenue enhancement may have added to the delay. Mayor stated that he was not certain how it might have been handled differently, because the budget demanded a tremendous amount of staff and Council time; and that a lean staff will mean that some things will take longer. Minute Order 5231, as recommended; was presented; after which, it was moved by Reller- Spurgin, seconded by Schlendorf, and unanimously carried, that M05231 be adopted. 4.

City Manager stated that if a Member requests a matter to be placed on the agenda, he schedules it for study session, and if it is controversial, the discussion may focus on whether further agendizing is necessary. City Attorney pointed out that the Council has the clear authority, under the various motions covered by Robert's Rules of Order, to dispose of a matter, including tabling it, which has the effect of no further discussion, which would require a majority vote. Resolution 18147 as recommended,with modification of study session date and time, and provide "Council comment" portion along with first public comments, in order to allow time for Members to report on intergovernmental agency activities, was presented; after which, it was moved by Schlendorf, seconded by Hodges, and unanimously carried, that 11181-417 be adopted. 7. TTM 27633 (EHRLICH) On May 5, 1993, Council conducted public hearing and continued action concerning Planning Commission recommendation to approve a tentative tract map for purposes of converting a 134 unit apartment complex to condominiums at 2801 Avery Drive, R-31, Sec 24; with a further continuance on July 7 to this date. Director of Planning & Zoning reported that Engineering Condition 8 has been revised, and although the developer has not seen the exact language, he agrees in principle with the intent of providing equity and enforcement. (137- City Attorney stated that the condition is such that if an assessment district, or area wide 090 assessment, is established, the developer's liability would be capped at $100,000, however, although the developer would have the right to protest, he felt the developer should be involved at an appropriate amount and he has not reviewed the precise language of the condition, but he felt it could be worked out; and if the developer is not in accord with the wording of the condition, or as it may be modified, the matter would be brought back to the Council. Resolution 18149 approving map, was presented; after which, it was moved by Schlendorf, seconded by Lyons, and unanimously carried, that R18149 be adopted, subject to revised Condition No. 8 in language approved by the City Attorney. 8. ALLOCATED COMPENSATION &CLASSIFICATION PLAN, 93-94 Staff Recommendation: That the Council adopt the Allocated Compensation&Classification Plans for 1993-94, in order to define the regular positions in the City service as a companion document to the budget. City Manager reported that overall the allocated positions have been reduced by 41.75 positions since the Council took office in 1992; that the Fire Services Manager (an upgrade from Administrative Assistant)should be at the same level as the Police Services Manager(MX9)rather than the level shown in the proposed resolution (MX13); and that there has been discussion with the management units and there was some give and take, and he hoped that designation "MX" (061- would not become a coveted status, in that those positions with the title "manager" or assistant 061 department head will be shown as MX, while the remaining members of the unit will be 18) designated as "PS" which more accurately reflects a professional or supervisory status, and there are no changes in terms of salary or responsibility. He stated that the change is to deal with the perception that there are a lot of mid-managers because of the MX designation, when positions such as accountant are professional. Councilmember Reller-Spurgin questioned what "MX" means, and if it designates that a person manages other people subordinate to them. She stated she would like to review the designations, position-by-position, and specifically questioned a position in the Public Works Department. Council Minutes 7-21-93, Pg. 8 8. ALLOCATED PLANS (Continued) Councilmember Hodges stated that she felt the change was simply a smoke screen, and that the organization of the City was not being changed at all. Councilmember Schlendorf asked the staff to verify whether the compensation range for the Police Services Manager was the same as was originally shown in the budget; Personnel Director responded that there was no change. Councilmember Schlendorf added that the redesignation makes the distinction between managers and professionals and supervisors, noting that one department may have shown all "MX" giving the appearance of all chiefs. Mayor stated that he felt the next step is for the Council to review the City staffing and see if there are too many managers, or the correct amount for the departments, noting that some departments it is not clear, e.g., fire captains. City Manager stated that the next step will be dealing with a$100,000 monthly reduction in the adopted budget for each month that the $1 million employee cost reduction is not achieved; and that the Council will carefully be getting into a reduced span of control, less supervisors for those supervised. Mayor stated that it may be the structure is properly distributed, but it should be looked at and proved correct. It was moved by Schlendorf, seconded by Lyons, and carried by the following vote, that Resolution 18149 adopting the plan be adopted, with correct of Fire Services Manager to MX9, providing that there is no change in the Police Services Manager: AYES: Lyons, Hodges, Schlendorf&Maryanov NO: Reller-Spurgin ABSENT: None 9.
