The subject property is located at the southeast corner of Vista Chino and Gene Autry Trail (Highway 111). SUMMARY: On November 13, 2002, the Planning Commission voted to recommend that the City Council approve a time extension for The Classic. The applicant is requesting a one year extension of Preliminary Planned Development District 231 and Tentative Tract Map 28033. The Preliminary Planned Development District has received six time extensions to date and the Tentative Tract Map has received four extensions to date. The requested time extension is necessary to complete revisions to the design concept and to secure funding. Pursuant to Section 66452.6 of the Subdivision Map, a tentative tract map may be extended a maximum of five times. BACKGROUND: During its meeting of November 9, 2001 the Palm Springs City Council granted a one year time extension for the above referenced Planned Development District and Tentative Tract Map. This was the sixth time extension issued for the 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 (VDU's), research and development facilities, commercial/retail and light industrial uses, a tennis complex, a 27-hole golf course and golf clubhouse on approximately 369.5 acres. The applicant is proposing to revise the proposed Planned Development District to 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. Case 5.0666 PD-231 & TTM 28033 Time Extension January 15, 2003 Page 2 of 2 The project was initially recommended for approval at the October 12, 1994, Planning Commission meeting and was approved at the October 19, 1994, City Council meeting with a two-year time frame. The City Council approved the five time extensions. Thus, the 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 mapwas then approved atthe September6, 1995 City Council meeting. The map would have expired on September 6, 1997; however, as a result of AB771 - 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. A fourth map extension was granted on November 9, 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. This will be the final time extension for the Tentative Tract Map. h2 ��.I BOUGLA8 R.

("Owner") PSIC, L.P. as Agent for Owner("PSIC") Request for Extension of Time for: Planned Development District 231 ("PAD 231") Tentative Tract Map 28033 ("TTM 28033") Dear Mr, Evans: As you know, this office represents PSIC with respect to the above referenced Project. As you also know,PSIC has been authorized,pursuant to a letter from the Owner of the Property to you dated Iuly 22,2002, to process entitlements and related matters for the Project. It is,our understanding that approvals for both PDD 231 and TTM 28033 are scheduled to expire on October 19, 2002. Additional time is required to complete revisions to the Project to bring it into conformity with current plans and market conditions. Accordingly,based on the authority set forth above, PSIC hereby makes applications for extensions, as follows: (1)PSIC requests a one(1)year extension of PDD 231 based on applicable provisions of the City Zoning Ordinance. (2)PSIC requests a one(1)year extension of T I M 28033 based on applicable provisions of State law. In our view, Government Code Section 66452.6(e) would authorize extensions of TTM 28033 up until September 5, 2003, however, PSIC is requesting only a one(1) year extension and feels that will provide more than adequate time to complete appropriate Project revisions. Thank-you for your consideration_ Please contact me if you have any questions or comments regarding the above. SincereI W W.
