COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT"AGENCY.STAFF REPORT
DATE: April 4, 2007 PUBLIC HEARING
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF THE FIVE YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (2004-2009)
AND TEN YEAR HOUSING COMPLIANCE PLAN FOR MERGED
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA NUMBERS 1 AND 2
FROM: David H. Ready, Executive Director
BY: Community and Economic Development
SUMMARY
Since 1994, the California Community Redevelopment Law ("Law") has required that
redevelopment agencies adopt and periodically review a five-year implementation plan
for each redevelopment project area. Staff has prepared a new implementation plan for
the 2004-05 to 2008-09 planning period, which is included as Exhibit A with the
accompanying resolution. Staff recommends that the Community Redevelopment
Agency Board approve and adopt the proposed 2004-2009 Five Year Implementation
Plan for the Palm Springs Merged Redevelopment Project Nos. 1 and 2
("Implementation Plan").
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt Resolution No. "A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMUNITY
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS,
CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING AND APPROVING A FIVE YEAR
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AND TEN YEAR HOUSING COMPLIANCE PLAN
FOR THE PALM SPRINGS MERGED REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
NUMBERS 1 AND 2."
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Prepared in accordance with Section 33490 of the Law, the proposed Implementation
Plan sets forth the Redevelopment Agency's ("Agency") specific goals and objectives
for the Palm Springs Merged Redevelopment Projects No. 1 and 2 ("Project Areas") and
the anticipated programs, projects, and expenditures for the ensuing five-year period
(Le. 2004-05 through 2008-09)_ It explains how these goals, objectives, pro9rgM§,

projects, and expenditures will eliminate blight. In addition, the Implementation Plan
contains certain information regarding the Agency's affordable housing program, and
specifically how the Agency will comply with housing production, replacement housing,
and income targeting requirements in the Law. The proposed Implementation Plan is
attached to the accompanying resolution. Like prior years, the Agency consolidated the
Implementation Plans for both Project Areas into one document. A summary of the
Implementation Plan is presented below:
Updated Graphics: The new Implementation Plan features a consistent design among
both Project Areas and presents the unique elements of each Project Area. Not only is
this approach a more energetic way to present redevelopment in the community, it
reinforces the Agency's belief in the value of the neighborhoods where redevelopment
exists.
Redevelopment Strategies: The Implementation Plan differs from the past
Implementation Plans in many ways, the most important of which is the presentation of
the Agency's redevelopment strategy for each Project Area. Proposed redevelopment
projects and programs are organized into four geographic focus areas that are meant to
guide future redevelopment activities in conjunction with larger planning objectives for
the City. For example, the "Sunrise Gateway" and "Big Box Retail Attraction Area"
mirror planning areas already established for the City. The focus areas are illustrated in
the "Proposed Redevelopment Programs" section of the Implementation Plan.
New Legal Requirements: Since the last Implementation Plans were established in
2001, the Law has added new requirements for these documents, including a recap of
past affordable housing activities and expenditures. The Agency is now responsible for
targeting its housing set aside fund expenditures to very low and low income categories,
and families (non-seniors) over a ten year period. These expenditure requirements are
on top of inclusionary housing production requirements for each Project Area.
Aggregation of Affordable Housing Production: Presently, the Agency must meet a 15%
inclusionary housing production obligation within each project area, or provide units on
a 2-for-1 basis if produced outside a project area, including units built in another
redevelopment project area. Section 33413(b)(2)(A)(v) of the Law permits and agency
to aggregate its housing production fulfillment among project areas within its jurisdiction,
provided the agency makes findings that such aggregation will not exacerbate racial,
ethnic or economic segregation. In an effort to assist the Agency to fulfill its current and
future housing production requirements, the Agency proposes to aggregate its housing
production fulfillment across both Project Areas under its jurisdiction. The benefit of
such a finding is that it enables the Agency to count production in each Project Area on
a 1-for-1 unit basis, rather than 2-for-1.
As shown in Table 1 below, both Project Areas are largely ethnically diverse areas in
their own right. The racial composition for Merged Redevelopment Project No. 1
("Project Area No. 1") is very similar to that of the City. The racial composition for
CRA Staff Report
(April 4, 2007) — Page 3
(Five Year Implementation Plan 2004-09)
Merged Redevelopment Project No. 2 ("Project Area No. 2) has a higher Latino
population and a lower White population, with other races matching proportionately with
the City. Project Area No. 2 includes tribal lands with unique property rights. The
average median household income in Project Area No. 1 is 16% higher than the City
median, and is 22% lower in Project Area No. 2.

Latino 24% 25% 49%
Black 4% 5% 5%
Asian 4% 3% 2%
Other 2% 2% 2%
Note: Based on Census 2000 data by Census Tract, Some
Census Tracts overlap in both Project Areas.
'Census Tracts 102, 104, 105, 107, 109, 418.07, 446.00-446,08
CCensus Tracts 101, 107, 446.01, 447.01, 448,06, 454
Although Project Area No. 2 has a lower median household income and a more diverse
population, Table 2 shows that over the past ten years the Agency has completed a
larger number of affordable housing projects in Project Area No. 1, thus increasing the
opportunity for lower income persons to move into a higher income area instead of
limiting affordable housing production to Project Area No. 2. Additionally, many of the
Agency's housing programs are offered throughout the community rather than in
targeted neighborhoods, as shown in the number of projects completed outside and
throughout both Project Areas.

Table 3 demonstrates that the Agency will continue this pattern based on the current
and proposed affordable housing projects for this Implementation Plan period (2005-
2009). Most proposed affordable housing projects will be located in Project Area No. 1
' and a substantial number outside the Project Areas.

Aggregating the housing production fulfillment will allow the Agency to continue creating
more affordable housing opportunities where they are most needed, rather than limiting
affordable housing production to one area. Therefore, the Agency has a logical basis
for making the prerequisite findings for aggregation of housing production fulfillment
across Project Area No. 1 and 2 at the public hearing.
Section 33490 of Redevelopment Law requires redevelopment Agencies to consider
adoption of an implementation plan following a noticed public hearing. Notice of Public
Hearing was published on February 28, March 7, and March 14, 2007 in the Desert Sun
and posted in four locations within Merged Redevelopment Project No. 1 and four
locations within Merged Redevelopment Project No. 2.
FISCAL IMPACT: Finance Director Review:
The proposed action has no fiscal impact, as the approval and adoption of the
Implementation Plan does not constitute approval of any specific program, project or
expenditure, and does not change the need to obtain any required approval of a specific
program, project, or expenditure from the Agency Board or City.

ABOUT THE PROJECT AREA
I
Palm Springs was established as a city in 1938. Non-native settlers first arrived after a Southern Pacific
Railroad line was completed in 1877, which traveled through the desert to the Pacific Ocean. The town
flourished after World War ll, experiencing rapid development in housing and businesses. A !
checkerboard pattern of growth developed because nearly 32,000 acres of land were transferred to the
Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians in the 18705 and allotted in the 1950s, This pattern of growth is
still evident today.
The City Council established the Community Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") on August 14, 1972 by
adoption of Ordinance No. 929. It was formed to address conditions of physical and economic blight in
selected portions of the city, beginning with the Central Business District in 1973- The Agency originally
established ten redevelopment project areas throughout the city, which were later merged into two
Merged Project Areas ("Project Areas'). The Merged Project Areas contain the ten original sub-areas and
comprise 3,079 acres of Palm Springs ("City"). The map below depicts the location of the Project Areas.

Each sub-area and its plan limits are listed in the table below and presented in the map on the previous
page. The Agency works continuously to revitalize these neighborhoods. Lang-term revitalization
activities are guided by Redevelopment Plans for each Project Area ("Redevelopment Plans').
Redevelopment projects in the Project Areas include improvements to public facilities and infrastructure,
renovation and construction of affordable housing, and partnerships with private industries to create jobs
and expand the local economy. This Implementation Plan focuses on specific redevelopment goals and
programs sought for the next five years.

REDEVELOPMENT PLAN GOALS
The Redevelopment Plans for the Project Areas establish a variety of goals for redevelopment of each
constituent Project Area. These goals frame the near term redevelopment objectives for the
Implementation Plan period. For the purposes of this Implementation Plan, the Redevelopment Plan
goals for Merged Project Areas Nos. 1 and 2 and their subareas are consolidated and summarized below,
Eliminate Blight. Eliminate deteriorating buildings, incompatible and uneconomic land uses,
and other environmental, economic and social deficiencies; improve the overall appearance
of buildings, streets, parking areas, schools and other facilities, and assure that all buildings
CLEAN are safe for people and businesses to occupy.
Protect and Enhance Community Character. Preserve artistically, architecturally, and
historically worthwhile structures and sites and upgrade urban design standards to provide
PRESERVE unity and to encourage community identity.
Create a Stronger Local Economy. Strengthen the economic base of the Project Areas and
Q the community at large by installing needed site improvements and stimulating new
commercial expansion, employment and economic growth. Establish financial mechanisms to
INVEST assist and encourage commercial development opportunities.
I
Improve Public Infrastructure and Services. Provide necessary public improvements,
including but not limited to flood control facilities, street improvements, parking supply, and
Access traffic circulation. Develop emergency, cultural, recreational, maintenance, operational, and
other services and facilities.
i Use Land Wisely. Assemble land into parcels suitable for modern, integrated development
with improved pedestrian and vehicular circulation in the Project Areas. Guide and secure
the availability of property to attract major investors and developers. Guide the replanning,
i GROW redesign, and development of undeveloped areas which are stagnant or improperly utilized.
i
I
Mousing for All Families. Protect the health and general welfare of low and moderate
i income persons by increasing or improving the community's supply of affordable housing.
When applicable, provide relocation assistance to displaced residential and nonresidential
LIVE owners and tenants as required by law.
i
I
l
i I All redevelopment activities are pursued with the intention to seek communitywide benefits that create a

PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
Over the five year planning period, the Agency plans to implement the following redevelopment projects
and programs. The list below describes the projects proposed, the blighting conditions that would be
eliminated, approximate costs, and the Redevelopment Plan goals that would be achieved. The
proposed projects are grouped into four focus areas that have been developed to guide future
redevelopment activities in conjunction with larger planning objectives for the City. The summary table on
pages 5-7 list and describe past and future redevelopment protects undertaken by the Agency that are
documented in this Five Year Implementation Plan.
SUNRISE GATEWAY FOCUS AREA
Located in the northern part of Palm Springs, this focus area
serves as a gateway to the City. It includes the Palm Springs
� ^a w Visitors Center and is mainly comprised of residential uses. It
RACQWLI CLUB ROAD includes the Highland-Gateway subarea (6, see map) and three
non-contiguous sections of Project Area#P9 (9A, 96, 9C).

College of the Desert West Valley Campus $4,000,000
The City submitted a proposal to the Desert Community College District
in April 2006 to locate the Western Coachella Valley Education Center
(a satellite campus) in Palm Springs. The City's primary offer of INVEST
financial support was to acquire the project site from the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) and develop the initial campus framework,
including athletic facilities, circulation infrastructure, and the first several WIQW
buildings. In the early stages of the campus' development, the City
would construct several early threshold projects that would "vest" the
project as "under development" in order to be able to patent the lease
with BLM and acquire the fee interest in the site. It is expected that "ceess
these "threshold" improvements could be paid by the City through
Quimby fees, private funds, Community Development Block Grants
(CDBG), the public art program, or the Community Redevelopment INVEST
Agency.
In February 2006, the City Council ("Council") made a commitment to
the development of the campus in a resolution which, among other
things, pledged the use of the existing James 0, Jessie Desert
Highland Unity Center and Desert Highland Park a$ joint use facilities,
including early use and pledging not less than 50% of Its "Quimby" park
improvement funds to the development of joint use athletic facilities on
the site. The City committed funds through the Community
Redevelopment Agency for off-site improvements, including a portion of
the construction cost of Sunrise Parkway. The Council also pledged to
proceed diligently to seek regional funding sources for the roadway
improvements, including Measure A funds and Transportation Uniform
Mitigation Funds (TUMF). The Council pledged funds from its Arts in
Public Places program for the design, development, and construction of
artistically-designed entry features, among other items. In addition, the
j City could commit a portion of its CDBG funds to the campus for single-
year increments for discrete capital protects. (Project Area I —

Preservation of Convention Center View $500,000
The Convention Center was reoriented in 2002 to take advantage of
spectacular mountain views from new front doors after the center's
expansion. In order to prevent new development from blocking this PRESERVE
view, the City acquired a 1.77 acre vacant parcel across the street by
subleasing it from the master lessee at a cost of $1,260,000, The
Agency is currently developing a plan for the parcel, which could serve GROW
as an open-air plaza for the Convention Center, a sculpture park,
attractive landscaping, or the site for a small administrative building.
Preserving the view and facilitating wider outdoor uses In the front will
keep the Convention Center vital and exciting. The preliminary cost
estimate is for land acquisition; other costs will be determined when a
development plan is chosen for the site. The Agency has planned for
approximately 5500,000 to be contributed towards the project. (Project

Downtown "Design for Development" Master Planner and $Unknown
Developer
The Agency issued a Request for Qualifications in November 2006 to
initiate a "Design for Development" Master Plan in downtown Palm PRESERVE
Springs. The developer will work with the City, Agency, and Agua
Caliente Tribe to develop an economically viable Master Plan for
redevelopment of the downtown area. The "Design for Development'
I
area was adopted in July 2006 and includes portions of the downtown INVEST
core and Section 14. The Master Plan design criteria will utilize the
Interim Downtown Urban Design Plan and the Section 14 Master Plan,
which was developed by the Tribe and adopted as a specific plan for
the city.
GROW
The Master Plan will coordinate development in downtown and Section
14, defining new development opportunities, niche projects
complementing current major assets, and collaborative opportunities for
redevelopment projects. It will serve as a catalyst for the development
of property surrounding the nearby Palm Springs Convention Center,
turning it into a quality destination resort capitalizing on the Palm
Springs name. The addition of hotel rooms would increase Transient
Occupancy Tax revenues and bring additional marketing opportunities
to the Convention Center to help maximize its usage. The Master Plan
will also include the following elements:
• The location of proposed land uses, including attractions,
hotels, retail, offices, and residential projects;
• Types of tenants or brands that would be successful in the
project area based on the demographics of the area's full- and
part-time residents as well as tourists and conventioneers,
• An inventory of undeveloped and underdeveloped properties in
the Project Areas by type of land use designation;
• A list of development opportunities for the Master Plan
Developer.
Overall, the Master Plan will expand the scope of redevelopment
activities, allowing for collaboration with multiple developers and public
entities. The budget for this project will be determined after a developer
is selected. (Project Area I — Central Business District; Project Area II —

likely to change significantly. The proposed Hard Rock and Westin
Hotels will add approximately 700 hotel rooms and the location of both PRESERVE
these projects are on sites now used as parking lots that serve the
Convention Center. The combination of a loss in existing parking
spaces and increased demand will require a comprehensive plan to add ACCESS

HOUSING PROGRAM COMPLIANCE OBJECTIVES
I '
I
This section of the Implementation Plan addresses specific requirements in State law with respect to prior
affordable housing activities and the housing program anticipated in the future.
Redevelopment agencies use implementation plans to establish ten year objectives to achieve
compliance with State law in its affordable housing programs. These housing goals generally fall into
three categories:
• Housing Production — based on the number of housing units constructed or substantially rehabilitated
over a ten year period, a redevelopment agency is to ensure that a percentage of these units are
affordable to low and moderate income households.
jReplacement Housing — another legal obligation for redevelopment agencies to ensure that any
housing units destroyed or removed as a result of an agency redevelopment project are replaced
within four years.
• Expenditures by Household Tyoes — specific requirements on the amount of housing set-aside funds
an agency must spend over a ten year period on housing affordable to very low income households,
low income households, and housing for residents under the age of 65.
The housing program goals are described below.
Housing Production
To estimate the number of housingunits that need to be affordable low to g and moderate
income households, the Agency estimated the total number units to be constructed or
substantially rehabilitated in the Project Areas and applied formulas established in State law.
The chart on page 28 summarizes the production goals over various time periods as required
by Redevelopment Law. The number of affordable units required is based on statutory
thresholds, and the Agency is responsible for ensuring that the appropriate number of
affordable units is created during a ten year period.

As shown in the above table, the Project Areas have a 458 unit affordable housing production
need over the next ten years, including 142 very low-income units.
As described earlier in this Implementation Plan, the Agency anticipates development of
affordable housing projects in the Project Area over the ten year forecast period that may
result in sufficient units to meet the housing production goals. Fulfillment of the projected
housing needs is specifically anticipated to be accomplished through the completion of the
following programs:
I

• CVHC Las Vegas Road Apartments. The Coachella Valley Housing Coalition and
Agency are working to build a 57 unit affordable housing project with one, two, three, and
four bedroom units. An affordability covenant will preserve the units as affordable to low
income households for 55 years.
• Desert Highland Homebuver Assistance. Up to S50,000 of assistance will be provided to
moderate income purchasers of the nine single family homes in the Desert Highland
neighborhood built as part of the Inflll Program. These units, located in the Sunrise
Gateway focus area will have affordability covenants of 45 years.
Over the next five years, the aforementioned housing protects could yield a total of at least
380 affordable units, including 143 very low income units. The Agency is pursuing additional
projects over the ten year period to meet the 468 unit target; any additional housing units in
excess of the ten year requirements would be used to help fulfill production requirements
over the duration of the Redevelopment Plan.
Replacement Housing
During the Implementation Plan period, the Agency does not anticipate that any Agency
assisted projects will result In the displacement or removal of housing units. Consequently,
the Agency does not anticipate that any housing will need to be replaced at this time.
I i
Expenditures by Household Types
As of July 1, 2004, the Agency's low and moderate income housing fund had an
unencumbered balance of $2,284,4044 available. Over the five year period ending on June i
30, 2009, staff conservatively estimates that the Project Area will generate approximately
$2,656,6695 in 20 percent housing set-aside revenue.
Effective January 2002, expenditure of housing set-aside revenues is subject to certain legal
requirements. At a minimum, the Agency's low and moderate income housing set-aside
revenue is to be expended in proportion to the community's need for very low and low income
housing, as well as the proportion of the population under the age of 65.
