DATE: September 5, 2007 PUBLIC HEARING
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM
SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING PARK FEES IN LIEU OF
DEDICATION FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE,
CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND AMENDING COUNCIL
RESOLUTION NO. 21952,THE COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE.
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Community and Economic Development
SUMMARY
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. that authorizes the City Council to establish an
alternative park fee for residential development in the City's Central Business District in lieu of
park land dedication as otherwise required under the provisions of Ordinance No. 1632. This
Resolution establishes an alternale fee schedule for the development of each residential unit
constructed in the Central Business district.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Open the Public Hearing and accept public testimony.
2) ADOPT RESOLUTION No. `A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING PARK FEES IN LIEU OF
DEDICATION FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS
DISTRICT AND AMENDING COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 21952, THE
COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE'.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
In 2003 the City Council adopted a Park Land and In-Lieu Fee Ordinance that provided for park
land dedication and/or park land fee in-lieu of dedication as a required condition of approval of
residential development in the City. The original Ordinance provided a process for determining
dedication and fee requirements for standard, suburban residential development, but was not
easily adapted to mixed-use projects.

ITEM NO._�l.t
Page 'I of 2
The newly amended Ordinance enables the Council to adopt an alternative method of
establishing park land dedication fees for residential units on property zoned "C-B-D" Central
Business District, property that is generally urban in character and potentially capable of being
developed for mixed-uses.
An alternative park fee requirement for residential development in the Central Business District
will encourage and promote the development of mixed-use projects in the area of the City
intended for compact, lively, active, and intensive uses that will cater to pedestrians and allow
the urban environment recognized by the City's General Plan to flourish. Residents of homes in
the Central Business District will support and use the amenities and activities associated with an
urban downtown environment.
Staff proposes the following fee schedule as an alternate fee schedule for the development of
each residential unit constructed in the City's Central Business District-
Number of Bedrooms Amount of Fee
Studio/One Bedroom Unit I $ 750.00
Two Bedroom Unit I $ 1,000.00
Three or more Bedroom Unit $ 1,500.00
Final Director Review:
FISCAL IMPACT:
Establishing an alternative park fee for residential development in the Central business District
may result in a reduction in the amount of funds collected for park land acquisition from that
which could have been collected under the current provisions of the City's park land dedication
Ordinance. The program, however, will not impact the City's general fund.

Dear Mr. Wilson. ! )l.tii 11 gUcinCisen rr torn
Thank you for providing the Building Industry Association, Desert Chapter with the
Draft Resolution to Amend Resolution No. 21952. the Comprehensive Fee Schedule.
We understand that the City- of Palm Springs is interested in developing
multipurpose projects in the Central Business District with some incentives, but ncc
manner in which the City- suggests to do this leaves a shortfall in fees for park
construction. There is no mention as to what would be the shortfall. Without the City
offsetting this loss, from other funds or revenue streams, imposes an undue strain on
single family residential construction.
The current fee for parks is based on. among other things, a shared burden of costs
for parks based on population. Whether or not the City determines, at a later date. to
impose a higher fee to single family residential construction to offset the loss is yet
to be seen- But, if the City maintains the current course.those That pay -full fare' will
receive less park for their buck: a reduced level of service standard. This was not
identified when the City adopted the Park Land and In-Lieu Fee Ordinance in 2003.
To unfairly burden with an excessive fee or reduce facilities to one group paying
'full fare' is a violation of the 1Vlitiganon Fee .act- In the end one group of the new
population will not receive what they paid for.
The Building Industry Association requests that the City of Palm Springs withdraw
from pursuing this resolution amendment and seek alternative incentives to entice
multipurpose development in the Central Business District.
Sincerely.
Fred Ben
