Planned Development District 231 (PD 231)and of Tentative Tract Map 28033(TTM 28033),
subject to the original conditions of approval. The subject property is located at the
southeast corner of Vista Chino and Gene Autry Trail (Highway 111).
SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting a ten month extension of Preliminary Planned Development
District231 and Tentative Tract Map 28033. The Preliminary Planned Development District
has received six time extensions to date and the Tentative Tract Map has received fourtime
extensions to date. The requested time extension is necessary to complete revisions to the
design concept and to secure funding.
BACKGROUND:
During its meeting of December 6,2000,the Palm Springs City Council granted a one year
time extension forthe above referenced Planned Development District and Tentative Tract
Map. This was the sixth time extension issued forthe Planned Development District and the
fourth time extension granted for the Tentative Tract Map. The City Council's action was in
response to a request for a one year extension. The Planning Commission had
recommended approval of a one year time extension.
The existing Planned Development District consists of up to a 400-room hotel, up to 500
two-bedroom Vacation Ownership Units (VOU's), research and development facilities,
commercial/retail and light industrial uses, a tennis complex, a27-hole golf course and golf
clubhouse on approximately 369.5 acres. Tentatively,the proposed Planned Development
Districtwill have 5.7 acres allocated to a 400 room hotel, 5 acres allocated to 150 Vacation
Ownership Units, a retail/village component including 3 restaurants and small retail shops,
970 residential units including estate lots,single family homes,town homes,and multi-family
condominiums, and an 18 hole golf course. Approximately 55 acres is expected to be
dedicated for roadways, parks, and open space.
The project was initially recommended for approval at the October 12, 1994, Planning
Commission meeting and was approved atthe October 19, 1994,City Council meeting with
a two-year time frame. The City Council approved the five time extensions. Thus, the

Case 5,0666 PD-231 & TTM 28033 Time Extension

applicant is requesting approval of the sixth time extension of PD 231.
The tentative tract map for the site was recommended for approval at the July 26, 1995
Planning Commission meeting. The map was then approved at the September6, 1995 City
Council meeting. The map would have expired on September6, 1997; however, as a result
ofAB771 -Chapter 46 of the 1996 State Statutes, one additional year was provided for the
map. A second time extension of TTM 28033 was approved on November 10, 1999. This
extension was granted for a period of 13 months in order to synchronize the TTM and PD
approvals. During its meeting of October 4, 2000, the City Council granted a third time
extension of six months. Currently, the map will expire December 6, 2001.
At this time, the applicant indicates the extension is required to revise the design concept,
finalize land acquisition, and to secure financing for the development. By approving the
requested time extension, the City Council would keep existing permits active.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
At its meeting of October 24, 2001, the Planning Commission unanimously voted (with 2
commissioners absent) to recommend approval of the requested time extension.

RE: Request for Extension of TTM 428033 and PDD 231
Dear Mr, Evans:
This letter is to formally request that the Tentative Tract Map #28033 and Planned Development
District 231 for the Palm Spring Classic Project,as well as the Processing Agreement with Palm
Springs Leisure Properties(PSLP)be extended to October 19,2002. Presently all Will expire
December 6,2001.The extension is required to complete the revisions for the CODA Resort and
Golf Community. Delays have occurred in the processing of this project largely due to extended
negotiations with a New York bank holding the note for the underlying property.

Planning Commission and the November 7,2001 City Council meeting. PSLP expects to place a
processing deposit of$42,000 with the City of Palm Springs,on or before October 24,2001.
