Re: Approval of.Nexus Companies as the Design Partner in the
Design for Development Master Plan Process
I am writing an behalf of John Wessman and his affiliated companies. Wessman owns a major
In of Tanc1" thin the planning area described in the RFQ, including the Desert Fashion Plaza.
- 'We are concerned about the nature of the Council approval tieing contemplated today, From the
staff report, it is impossible to understand clearly what the scope of work will be for Nexus. Without a
clear scope of work, the Council cannot clearly understand the-nature of the agreement being proposed
_ for approval today. We would therefore request that before-the Council proceeds to approve-Nexus as the
planner for this.project, staff provide for Council and public review, a-defirgitive scop6of work. _
The staff report does not explain how the cost oI this planning effort will be paid- -The original
RFQ was structured so that the contracting party was both plannerLand developer of the covered property,
and presumably would therefore be paid for its planning efforts through its development profits. -The staff
report now says that Nexus will be appfloved as the-planner, but that selection of the developer is left to /
later. If that is so,"what is the cost.& how will Nexus planning effort-be paid for?
Is this planning effort intended to result in a specific plan of PDT for the entire planning area? If
so, its-adoption would require compliance with CEQA. How will that process be carried out and funded?
_ If a-specific plan or PDp is not the intended product of this effort, then what is the intended
product? Will the$roduct of this effort carry the force of law in-the form_ of zoning, o�will it be an advisory,_
document or feasibility study? :; ,i
-
The original RFQ placed an emphasis on the'importancg of the successful consultant Working
.with property owners in.♦he planning area, but the current staff report indicates that the planning effort will
be a 3-way effort among the City, the Tribe and Nexus. Where does this leave the major property owners
who have made substantial financial investments in Palm Springs? Wessman has spent hundreds of
thousands of dollars on our planning effcits for the Desert Fashion Plaza and our-other properties/in the,
downtown corridor, and by.April of this year,we expect to be filing formal applications for the area of the.
Fashion Plaza, If.the City does not require that the plans of major property owners be considered in the
planning efforts•of Nexus, the City esserftially defeats the invested efforts of the property owners before
they can be given fair consideration. We urge the Council to make this planning project one whirrh is done

Report
DATE: MARCH 7, 2007 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF NEXUS COMPANIES OF SANTA ANA,
CALIFORNIA AS THE DESIGN PARTNER IN AGENCY'S
"DESIGN FOR DEVELOPMENT" MASTER PLAN PROCESS
FROM: David H. Ready, Executive Director
BY: Community & Economic Development Department
SUMMARY:
This action approves the selection of the Nexus Companies as the Agency's
Design Partner in the Design for Development process. The Agency had issued
an RFQ dated November 13, 2006 that sought developer interest in becoming
the master planner, master developer, or both for an area established by the
Agency on July 5, 2006. Nexus was the only firm to submit qualifications under
the RFQ and sought to be both master planner and master developer. Staffs
recommendation at this point is to select Nexus as the master planner and then
work in a three-way arrangement with the Agency's partner in the Design for
Development process, the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, to develop a
Master Plan for the area, and then make a determination as to whether the
Agency would seek other Master Developer partners or move to the next phase
with Nexus. The three parties will collaborate on the selection of a qualified
planning firm to produce the Master Plan document.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt Resolution No. "A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMUNITY
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS,
CALIFORNIA, APPROVING NEXUS COMPANIES OF SANTA ANA,
CALIFORNIA AS THE DESIGN PARTNER IN AGENCY'S "DESIGN FOR
DEVELOPMENT" MASTER PLAN PROCESS
ITEM! NO. �
BACKGROUND:
The Redevelopment Plans for Merged Redevelopment Project Areas 1 and 2
contain a provision (Section 617) authorizing the Community Redevelopment
Agency to establish more specific design and development criteria for selected
portions of the redevelopment project area. Section 617 provides as follows:
"Design for Development
Within the limits, restrictions, and controls established in this Plan,
and subject to the provision of Sections 601 and 607 herein, the Agency is
authorized to establish land use, heights of buildings, land coverage,
setback requirements, design criteria, traffic circulation, traffic access, and
other development and design controls necessary for proper development
of both private and public areas within the Project Area."
The first step consisted of preparing and adopting Design for Development
Master Plan boundaries for portions of the downtown core (in Merged Area 41),
Section 14 (Merged Area #2) and some surrounding areas. Under the
Redevelopment Plans, the area may cross project area boundaries; in addition,
the Master Plan Area includes some areas outside the Redevelopment Project
Areas.
Upon approval by the Agency of the map on July 5, 2006, it was approved
by the Tribe in September, 2006 per the Memorandum of Understanding entered
into by the City, Agency, and Tribe in May, 2000.
The Agency released the Request for Qualifications in November, 2006
with a January, 2007 deadline. Several major developers expressed interest in
the RFQ but only Nexus responded. Nexus is the developer of the Hard Rock
Hotel in the Design for Development Area, the Delano (formerly La Mancha)
project adjacent to the project area, and owns a 10 acre fee simple parcel on
Tahquitz Canyon Way in the middle of the Design for Development area.

Subject: Downtown Palm Springs Master Developer Opportunity
Dear Mr. Raymond:
Please consider this letter and accompanying materials as the Nexus Companies response
to your Request for Qualifications for a Master Developer in Downtown Palm Springs.
We have a serious,vested interest in the City, and feel we are best qualified to partner
with the Agency and the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (the Tribe)to further
the development vision for the community.
Nexus Companies has a broad range of development experience, including master
planning, high rise Type 1 and Type 5 wood frame residential mixed use, retail and
commercial. We area full service real estate firm experienced in marketing, leasing,
sales,real estate development and we are our own general contractor_ Nexus also has a g
reputation of dedicating human and financial resources to resolve complex real estate
transactions that result in high quality, unique projects for a community. We believe our
talent and abilities have been proven in your own community. The most recent project 9
undertaken in palm Springs by Nexus is the Hard Rock Hotel. You know from first hand
experience the complexities associated with assemblage of the real estate,the community
politics and the design challenges we face with this project. We feel that our efforts to
date are an excellent example of our commitment and ability to sort through difficult
issues and create good solutions for all involved.
This kind of effort will be required in order to effectively manage the future development
of the Downtown. There are excellent real estate opportunities remaining; however, the
ability to acquire property and gain support from key stakeholders will be paramount in 8
the success of such an effort. We, too, agree with your position that it is important to

next level_ We strongly feel that Nexus is best qualified to assist in this regard, as we
have invested considerable energy to understand the community dynamics and market
potential. Further, we have developed good working relationships with the City Council
and staff,the Tribe, existing property owners, developers, and the hotel and business
community. These relationships are key to moving forward with the Downtown strategy.
In addition, Nexus has made a commitment to quality architecture that complements the
rich history of Palm Springs. An understanding of the City's past and the value it adds to
the future fabric of the Downtown should be a critical factor in your decision.
The partnership between the City and the Tribe is a unique one, and critical to the success
of Section 14 and the Downtown. We have spent the past few years cultivating a good
working relationship with the City Council and staff, and feel that we have demonstrated
our ability and commitment to deliver what is represented. We have also established an
excellent working relationship with the Tribe's staff and leadership. We understand and
appreciate the significance of their role in this process, and feel confident we can work
successfully with both Agencies to accomplish the goals of the Section 14 Plan and the l
Downtown Urban Design Plan. As you know, we recently concluded a transaction
whereby an exchange of property with the Tribe was undertaken to facilitate the Hard
Rock Hotel. This exchange was accomplished in a very short period of time, which is a
highly unusual circumstance_ We would anticipate a similar working relationship with the
Tribe as we move forward with the Downtown Master Plan.
In closing, we would like to restate the Nexus Companies is very well qualified to serve
as your Master Developer. Our 25 years of experience in the development business
includes a full spectrum of uses, many of which will be a part of the Master Plan for
Downtown. We are known for being a"pioneer" and "catalyst" in communities, and
have an excellent reputation for building high quality projects that generally exceed a
community's expectations. We are excited about the opportunity to work with you and
the Tribe on such an important undertaking for the community of Palm Springs_
