parcel map to divide 10.16 acres into 8 parcels at the NW comer of Vista Chino and Sunrise Way,

(149-
Planner II Coyle, reviewed the memorandum of Director of Planning & Zoning, noting that the 013 )
Planning Commission recommendation includes a 7 p.m. to 8 a.m. prohibition on delivery; a
sound barrier around the drive-throughs; and conforming sweeper hours of operation to those of
delivery services.
Mayor declared the hearing opened
Paul Bahnson, 144 Via Escuela, stated that there are marry vacant stores in the existing center
which could be used, and more space is not needed; that he felt a lot of residents did not like the (078 )
center's location, and did not think it the right place for this kind of development; that he felt
Farrell and Vista Chino would be more appropriate; that he felt the renter would only draw
existing customers and not new; and that Sunrise Way, north of Vista Chino is not heavily
travelled. (119-
001)
Richard Jarvis, 1800 Hildago Way, stated that residents can hear the loading operations, and favor
the newer and cleaned up development, but are concerned about noise, and felt that adding a few
courses to the existing wall would be helpful.
Keith Willis, Nicola Road, submitted a petition, a copy of which is on file with the City Clerk,
requesting no action until the developer agrees to a sound barrier berm along the eastern boundary
of the existing and proposed center satisfactory to the resident. He stated that he met with the
project manager and Smith, Peroni & Fox and was told that landscaped berms do not work, and
it was not referred by the Planning Commission. He stated he felt the Commission did
recommend the sound barrier berm.

experienced burglaries and vandalism.
Steve DeFrancisco, 2010 N. Sunrise, opposed a supermarket, on the basis of diminished property

1. SUNRISE SQUARE (Continued)
Bill Carver, General Partner, developer, stated that they are trying to upgrade and expand the
facility to meet today's needs; that he feels the solutions have been provided to address concerns
of residents to the west; that the wall between the residents and the center in one area will be 8-ft
and 13-ft in another, although it will appear 8 feet on the shopping center side because of
landscaping and berms; that he was not aware of the concerns of residents to the east, and feels
that controlling the noise of trucks and keeping the sweepers to the same time schedule should
reduce complaints about noise. He offered his telephone number for anyone to call, and added
that he did not think a berm could be high enough on Sunrise to keep the noise from coming from
the back of the market; that added security will be provided in the way of wrought iron fencing,
improved lighting and upgrading of existing lighting; and lamp lenses will be "target proof".
Mayor declared the hearing closed.
Councilmember Hodges stated that she opposed raised, medians, and questioned the necessity of
the recommendation, and who will maintain them.
City Engineer stated that the medians have been approved for Vista Chino, as a street standard,
and in general help beautify by breaking up large spans of pavement, but also control traffic
ingress and egress onto the thoroughfare, thereby making better use of major street and arteries;
that the property owner maintains, and it will be done through a maintenance district, either by
joining one of the existing, or participating in a city-wide district.
Greg Endo, sound consultant for the developer, stated that there are two different barrier locations,
one around the fastfood to help with debris and noise, and the other is being suggested by
residents along Sunrise Way; that a barrier on Sunrise would not be efficient, because of multiple
driveway opens, and barriers are not efficient if far removed from the source of the noise.
In answer to questions by Council, Planner II stated that complaints would be referred to Code
Enforcement and ultimately the City Attorney; and that delivery trucks will not be allowed on site
(idling) during the prohibition time.
City Attorney stated that the approval could be subject to condition that if after construction, noise
measurements exceed standards, the developer provide a replacement of the wall system, which
would expose the developer to a level of uncertainty.
Councilmember Hodges stated that no one knows what it will be like after it is completed, and
restricting the hours may solve the problem, or it may not.
Councilmember Schlendorf pointed out that noise levels should be measured now, because the
traffic and noise is continuously increasing naturally in that area due to additional housing on
Sunrise.
City Clerk read title of the Ordinance, as follows:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING
THE ZONING MAP BY APPROVING A CHANGE OF ZONE FROM R-2 (LIMITED

and Resolutions 18200 and 18201, approving the CUP and the TPM 27831, were presented; after
which, it was moved by Lyons, seconded by Schlendorf, and unanimously carried, that further

2. SALVAGGIO (Continued)
Director of Finance worked on the sale tax collection condition; that business licenses will be
required; that these are essentially "open till" businesses and difficult to watch each one, but there
will be some monitoring and effort at collection of sales tax; that the sales projections are high,
and he expected the revenue will be less; and that there is a potential for 600 vendors.
Mayor declared the hearing open.
Dr. Salvaggio thanked the staff for its cooperation, and stated that the operation will monitor
products that are to be sold; that the application requires identifying specifically what merchandize:
will be sold; that some "used" articles will be permitted, but it is not intended to sell all used
clothes, furniture, etc., that the object is to make it a unique project; that $2-3 million will be
spent in improvements; that there is no intent to be open at night, or to compete with Villlagefest;
that all vendors will be subject to his rules and regulations; that the project provides revenue for
the landowner, and tax revenue for the City, and it will encourage people to come to Palm
Springs; that local contractors will be used for the improvements; and that there will not be any
sales of firearms or alcohol, nor skates, skateboards, bicycles or soliciting allowed.
Darryl Meeks spoke in favor of the project.
Bud Robins, Bureau of Indian Affairs, spoke in favor of the project on. behalf of the Bureau and
the landowners, and he agreed with the applicant's remarks.
There were no further appearances, and the hearing was closed.
Mayor spoke in support of requiring the owner of the project to have the responsibility for
certifying sales and the correctness of the sales tax, otherwise a financial penalty would be
imposed. He suggested "spotters" and the owner's ability to remove any violators. (Dr.
Salvaggio explained that such violations are in his rules, and offenders would be removed.)
Mayor stated that while Dr. Salvaggio may impose those rules, he wanl'i;d assurance via the CUP
future owners would be subject to the same conditions, i.e., the permit is for 20 years; and
questioned why the permit was not for 10 years, with additional 10 year option, in order Co permit
an opportunity for review. He added that the type of business is rife with problems, and lends
itself to cash sales.
Director of Planning & Zoning stated that the application contains information which becomes part
of the proposed permit and part of the approval; that the tenant application could be subject to
review by the Director of Planning & Zoning, and he would make certain that the Council's
conditions are contained in it. He stated that the Commission felt that because of the substantial
financial investment, a longer permit period would be reasonable; that staff originally
recommended 15 years, and that the Commission felt it should run with the lease on the land; and
that the Council can revoke the permit if there is non-compliance of the conditions.
Dr. Salvaggio explained that originally the lease was applied for as 10 years with 4 10-year
options, however, that was inconsistent with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, in that there can only
be one lease term and one option, thus they selected the 20 year lease; and that the Council can
pull the permit anytime that the rules are not followed.
Director of Finance clarified that each vendor will be required to have a business license, either
an annual license, or a daily license; that the daily permit can be collected by the owner, and
monitored by staff; that sales tar: reporting forms are either a daily or annual report, depending
on the frequency, and are computerized; that the City contracts with a firm to monitor reports to
the state, and some staff audit will be needed, but would be random and periodic; that there are
penalties for incorrect reports.
Councilmember Hodges stated that spotters might see if the tax is collected, but that does not
assure that it is reported; that she did not see where the applicant has that control, other than if
he was aware of a violation, that he not allow that vendor to participate;, and that the measures of
the Finance Director will address the issue that the applicant will see that vendors participate as
they should.
Councilmember Schlendorf stated that there is a symbiosis between local merchants and residents,
and local merchants pitch in and help the community in times of need; that the subject project will
create the opportunity for one -timers to reap the benefits that local merchants have worked hard
to cultivate.
Mayor and Councilmember Lyons agreed that they did not like the type of activity

2. SALVAGGIO (Continued)
Councilmember Hodges stated that she considered this type of business to aliract a totally different
type of customer; that it is not the person who shops downtown; that she feels it will attract people
who are not going downtown because there is not this type of atmosphere; and that it will benefit
the community.
Councilmember Reller-Spurgin stated that the applicant is taking a piece of property and cleaning
it up and bringing activity to an area that has been begging for it for sometime; that it will attract
customers which have been going to C.O.D., and it will bring sales tax to the City.
City Attorney suggested that the Council may wish to add a condition to require each vendor to
comply with the owners rules and regulations, and violation thereof would be non-compliance with
the conditional use permit.
Resolution 18202 as recommended, was presented; after which, it was moved by Reller-Spurgin,
seconded by Hodges, and carried by the following vote, that R18202 be adopted, subject to
revision to add requirement that each vendor comply with the rules & regulations of the developer,
otherwise violation constitutes non-compliance with the CUP:

regulating taxicab and providing bus transportation.

6. TAXI REGULATION
Request by Council, discussion whether CVAG should appoint a task force to study the taxi
regulation issue.
Councilmember Hodges reported that the City requested that CVAG .add to its agenda an item
concerning taxicab regulation, in light of recent concerns and complaints, since it was a valley -
wide issue; that she hoped CVAG would address the issue, however, it did not, then Palm Springs
should do so within its jurisdiction; that she thought Mr. Cole's proposal has merit, and should
be looked at.
Mayor stated that he would like to see a report back from CVAG by mid -December, and it
appears the public transportation is being funded by taxing taxicabs.
Councilmember Schlendorf agreed, and added that she did not think it will take too much time,
since the most likely body to review it will be the Transportation Committee, which is very
familiar with the subject; that it its one area needed for privatization, and is perceived that it does
not work and that there is a conflict with Sunline. (14
00
Councilmember Hodges stated that she felt January I would not be an unrealistic deadline,
considering that CVAG does not meet that often; that it is not being asked to takeover the
regulations, rather to recommend who should, and how it should be operated, and she did not want
the report time to minimize the quality of the study.
Councilmember Lyons stated he was willing to have Palm Springs look at the issue for the City;
that he was not concerned how much people paid going from one point to another outside of the
City; that if local taxicabs are regulated, and there are no complaints, that would be the best
system.
Councilmember Hodges noted that the taxicab service has an impact on tourism, whether in Palm
Springs or the Valley, since visitors consider it "Palm Springs."
Councilmember Schlendorf stated that with the Sunline drop fee, and the; Airport fee, a person will
pay almost $3 before leaving the Airport, and as much as $34 to go down valley, and $12 to go
just a few blocks away; that the formula is not working, and the hardest hit has been at the
Airport, and capitalization has lieen unfair. She stated that she also thought Mr. Cole's proposal
was a good start.

6. TAXI REGULATION (Continued)
Following discussion, it was the consensus of the Council to request CVAG to undertake the
study, to respond by November 3 as to when it anticipates that it could be completed; and that the
City staff report on November 3, a preliminary report on interim taxicab regulations by the City.
Councilmember Schlendorf stated that she would like to work with staff on that effort.
It was moved by Hodges, seconded by Reller-Spurgin, and unanimously carried, that CVAG be
requested to appoint a task force to study the issue and report as soon as possible, and that City
staff come back with a proposal for City regulation of the taxicab operations.

Council, he stated that the tracking will be done manually in the office and in the field, and a
computerized system will be developed; that the system has not been challenged, and a relationship
must be established between the service provided and the fee charged.
City Attorney stated that there should not be any problem as long as it is based on factual
information over a period of time, and that data is used to develop an appropriate set of fees. He

Recommendation: That the Council amend the Allocated Positions and Compensation Plan to
reclassify one Community Services Officer to a Community Services Officer II, Range 22, to
provide a person to schedule and supervise seven Community Service Officer jailers.
Police Chief reported that the Police Services Manager is responsible for records, the jail
operation, communications and computer maintenance, and will be coordinating the 800 mhz
system; that forty people report to him, and he has no supervisors between him and the jailers
(community services officers), and one person could be designated to handle the administration (061-
of jail, including personnel housekeeping e.g., scheduling; that the cost for the reclassification, 018 )
would be approximately $3,100 for this year, and $5,200 annually.
Counciflmember Schlendorf stated that the City has contracted with Cathedral City for jail
bookings, and the activity has increased and more supervision is needed, and one of the seven
jailers would become the supervisor.
Councilmember Hodges stated that she felt it created another layer of bureaucracy, which she felt
has happened in the past and results in more managers than workers; that while the cost may be
minimal this year, it will be a permanent position and will cost in the future; that it is not known
how long Cathedral City will continue its agreement; and that the Police Services Manager may
have more to do, but that is the nature of things now.
Police Chief stated that the environment is a high risk one, and it is important to have a person
able to watch and be responsible for procedures; that the jailers do not work overtime, other than
to fill vacancies or leaves; and that the supervisor would schedule the overtime, not necessarily
work it.
Motion by Schlendorf, seconded by Maryanov, to approve the resolution, failed by the following
vote:
AYES: Schlendorf & Maryanov
