require a fee as established by Resolution of the City Council of the
fCity of Palm Springs. Said fee shall be for the purpose of preparing and
¢+ evaluating Environmental Impact Reports.
SECTION 6. Appeals. Any person aggrieved or affected by a decision of
any Commission, Board, Department or Division on an Environmental Impact
Report may appeal to the City Council from such decision at any time
within ten (10) days after the date upon which the decision is announced.

with the City Clerk and by concurrently paying to said Department a fee
as established by Resolution of the City Council. Said letter of appeal
shall set forth the grounds upon which the appeal is based. Within
fifteen, (15) days after receipt of the letter of appeal and the filing

SECTION 6 A. For a two .(2) week period following adoption of this Ordinance,
no application for any permit or entitlement involving a new use of property
shall be accepted for filing.
SECTION 7. This Ordinance is declared to be necessary as an emergency
measure for preserving the public peace, health and safety because the
City of Palm Springs presently has not adopted a Conservation Element to
the General Plan and since the California Supreme Court in deciding the
case of Friends of Mammoth v. Board of Supervisors of Mono County, decided
September 21, 1972, determined that Section 21151 of the Public Resources
Code applies to private projects developed where a public permit, right,
privilege or other entitlement is required and as a further result of said
decision, a determination must be made whether or not any of said projects
may have a significant effect upon the environment and that this Ordinance
sets forth a procedure by which a determination can be made whether said
significant effect on the environment may occur. It is further found that
unless procedures are immediately adopted by the City Council to make a I
determination as provided in Section 21151 of the Public Resources Code,
all private projects for which a public permit, right, privilege or other
entitlement is necessary are subject to being terminated since no City
action has been taken as required by Section 21151 of the Public Resources
Code, and in order to preserve the public peace, health and safety, this
Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.

---------------
WHEREAS this City Council did, on November 8, 1972, adopt
Ordinance No. 937 relating to requirements for environmental impact
reports in connection with certain projects, and did indicate that such
action was taken because State law required the Council to do so; and
WHEREAS a State statute (A. B. 809, 1972 Legislature) has been en-
acted providing that State law does not require such local regulations
to be in force for a "moratorium" period of 120 days following the
effective date of the statute, December 5, 1972, but such local regu-
lations are nonetheless allowed to be in force during said period at
the option of the local legislative bodies; and
WHEREAS this City Council has determined that it is necessary in
the public interest of this City and its residents and property owners
that such local regulations as were contained in Ordinance No. 937
continue in effect in substantially the same form as therein enacted;
NOW THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA,
I DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Prior to the approval or issuance of permits, rights,
privileges or other entitlements for proposed projects found by the
City Council of the City of Palm Springs to have a significant effect
upon the environment, there shall be prepared and submitted an
Environmental Impact Report. Officers, Agents, Boards, Commissions,
Agencies and Employees of the City of Palm Springs are not authorized
to issue appropriate approval of said permits, rights, privileges and
other entitlements until there is compliance with all applicable rules,
regulations and Ordinances of the City of Palm Springs. Those projects
which may have a significant effect on the environment shall be speci-
fied by Resolution of the Palm Springs City Council and there shall be
required in connection with each such project the preparation and sub-
mittal of an Environmental Impact Report complying with such standards
as are contained in Division 13 of the California Public Resources Code
and such standards and guidelines as may be promulgated by the State
or by the City pursuant thereto.
SECTION 2. For those applications to any City Board, Commission,
Department, Division or Agency for any permit, right, privilege or
other entitlement indicated in Section 1 of this Ordinance, the applicant
shall provide data as required by the City of Palm Springs in order for
the City to prepare an Environmental Impact Report in accordance with
procedures which shall be established by Resolution of the City Council.
SECTION 3. If an Environmental Impact Report is required as indi-
cated in Section 1 of this Ordinance for an application for a Planned
Development District, Zone Change, Conditional Use Permit, Variance,
Subdivision, Parcel Map or Architectural Approval, an Environmental
Ordinance No. 941
Page Two
Impact Report will be prepared by the City and the applicant may not file
his application for a Planned Development District, Zone Change, Conditional
Use Permit, Variance, Subdivision, Parcel Map or Architectural Approval
until said Environmental Impact Report is completed.
The applicant may be required to supply additional data as required by the
City to allow the City to prepare the Environmental Impact Report. Any de-
lay requested by the applicant to supply said data shall be added to the time
in which the Environmental Impact Report is to be completed or the time after
which the application may be filed.
The Environmental Impact Report will be made part of the record of the appli-
cation and will be considered by the appropriate Commission, Board, Depart-
ment or Division in its deliberation regarding the application.
SECTION 4. Denial or Conditioning of Permits and Entitlements. In passing
upon applications for permits or other entitlements in connection with proposed
projects for which Environmental Impact Reports are required pursuant to
Section 1 of this Ordinance, the Council and officers, boards, commissions,
and agencies of the City shall consider said Reports and all other evidence sub-
mitted and shall make findings as to whether any such project has significant
and substantial adverse environmental effects. If such findings are in the
affirmative, the application may, in the exercise of sound and reasonable dis-
cretion, be denied, or conditions may be imposed that the project be modified
in specified respects so as to measurably reduce or eliminate such adverse
environmental effects as are found to exist in connection with the proposed pro-
ject. I
SECTION 5. Fees. The applicant for any permit or entitlement shall pay a
fee to cover the costs of preparation and evaluation of any required Environmental
Impact Report, and for other costs of administering the requirements herein. The
amounts of any such fees shall be established by resolution of the City Council.
SECTION 6. Projects Which Developers Have Vested Rights to Continue. Any
Developer claiming .ci.ghts to continue his project by virtue of the City's having
issued a permit or entitlement prior to November 8, 1.972, coupled with other
facts which such developer contends gives him legally protected vested rights,
may file with the City Council a request for exemption from the operation of
the regulations contained in this Ordinance and in Ordinance No. 937. If the
City Council shall, on the basis of such request and the evidence submitted by
the developer in connection therewith, find that such developer is entitled under
Constituti.cnal principles and judicial precedents to continue with his project free
of the operation of said regulations, the City Council shall accordingly grant an
appropriate exemption and allow the project to proceed.
SECTION 7. Apo�als. Any person aggrieved or affected by a decision of any
Commission, Board, Department, Division or Officer of the City, in administer••
ing or interpreting this Ordinance and the regulations contained herein, may
appeal to the. City Council from such ,decision at any time within ten (10) days
after the date upon which the decision is announced. Appeals from decisions
of a Department, Division or O.Fficer shall, however, first be presented with- I
in said 'ten (10) clay period to the City Manager for evaluation and possible
reversal or modification, and if any charge is made by the City Manager in
the decision appealed from, such action shall. be final unless a new appeal is
filed to the City Council from the action of the City Manager. Any appeal. filed
shall be made by filing a letter of appeal with the City Clerk and by concurrently
,j
Ordinance No. 941
Page Three
paying any applicable appeal free which has been established by
Resolution of the City Council.. Said letter of appeal shall set
forth the grounds upon which the appeal is based, and the relief
requested. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a letter of
appeal to the City Council, or at its next regular meeting after
such period, and provided any applicable filing fee has been paid,
the City Council shall consider the matter and may affirm, re-
verse, or modify the decision appealed from.
SECTION 8. Intent to Continue Regulations in Ordinance 937.
The City Council hereby declares that it is its intent that this
Ordinance shall substantially continue in effect the regulations
heretofore enacted by Ordinance No. 937, adopted by this City
Council on November 8, 1972, (although said Ordinance 937
shall be deemed superseded by the provisions herein), and that
there shall not be deemed to have been any hiatus in such regula-
tions by virtue of the taking effect of A. B. 889 of the 1972 Legisla
ture on December 5, 1972. Further, all resolutions and regula-
tions (e. g. Resolutions 10479 and 10480) adopted in implementation
of Ordinance No. 937 shall be deemed continued in effect until here-
after appropriately modified, amended or rescinded.
SECTION 9. Limitation of Time for Bringing Legal Actions. In
all cases in which any person challenges any decision made, action
done, or failure to act or decide, by any City board, commission,
or officer., or the City Council, pursuant to any provision of this
Ordinance or any other ordinance, resolution or regulation in con-
nection herewith or in implementation hereof, or any permit or en-
titlement issued or approved by the City, no action thereon shall be
commenced by any person in any court after the expiration of thirty
(30) days following the date of such decision or action. In any case
in which a challenger alleges such failure to act or decide, no action
shall be commenced by any person in any court following thirty (30)
days after the Council has decided on appeal to it or, in the event
such failure to act or decide is by Council, thirty (30) days after
such action or decision should have been made.
SECTION 10. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence,
clause; phrase or portion of this Ordinance or any future amend-
ments or additions thereto, is for any reason held to be invalid or
unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction,
such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions
of this Ordinance, or any future amendments or additions hereto.
The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this
Ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase
or portion or any future amendments or additions thereto, irrespec-
tive of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, clauses,
phrases, portions or any future amendments or additions thereto
be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 11. Urgency. This Ordinance is adopted as an urgency
measure pursuant to the authority of Section 65858 of the Government
I Code of the State of California, for the immediate preservation and
protection of the public safety, health and welfare, and shall take
effect immediately upon its adoption and passage by at least a four-
fifths vote of the City Council. The declaration of the facts consti-
tuting the urgency is as follows: The provisions of this Ordinance
are necessary because A. B. 889 (Knox) amending the California
Environmental Quality Act of 1970 was adopted by the State Legisla-
ture as an emergency measure on December 1, 1972, and said bile
brings into effect a one hundred twenty- (120) day moratorium upon
yell
Ordinance No. 941
Page Four
the environmental impact report requirement of the California Environmental
Quality Act of 1970. Such moratorium is nonmandatory and the City Council
of Palm Springs, not desiring such moratorium is enacting this Ordinance as
an urgency measure to make clear its intent to avoid the effect of this mora-
torium. This Ordinance makes clear the intent of this City Council to preserve
the previously established procedures necessary for the implementation of the
local environmental impact report policy and enables the City to implement
guidelines adopted and approved by the City Council on November 8, 1972. In
the absence of this Ordinance important decisions hitherto made respecting the
need for environmental impact reports for major projects which the City has
already decided "may have a significant effect upon the environment's might be
contended to be suspended, and that such projects could go forward to construc-
tion during the one hundred twenty (120) day moratorium period without
environmental impact reports. Such result will be injurious to the environ-
ment of this City and the health, safety and welfare of its residents.
SECTION 12. Effective Period of Ordinance. This Ordinance shall remain
in effect for the four-month period properly computed pursuant to Section
65858 of the Government Code of the State of California, unless sooner repealed
or otherwise modified, and subject to any extension of the effective period duly
enacted pursuant to and in accordance with said Section 65858.
SECTION 13. Effective Date -- Publication. This Ordinance shall be in full
force and effect immediately upon adoption by at least a four-fifths vote of the
City Council; and the City Clerk shall certify to the passage hereof and cause
the same to be published once, within fifteen (15) days after passage, in THE
DESERT SUIT, a daily newspaper of general circulation, printed, published
and circulated in the City of Palm Springs, California. I
