DATE: JULY 26, 2017 NEW BUSINESS
SUBJECT: EXTENSION OF THE HOTEL INCENTIVE PROGRAM DEADLINE FOR
COMMENCEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION FOR A NEW HOTEL AT THE
NORTHWEST CORNER OF BARISTO ROAD AND BELARDO ROAD,
284 S. CAHUILLA ROAD (DEVELOPER NEW CHURCH II, LLC) UNTIL
MAY 31, 2018
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Edward Z. Kotkin, City Attorney
SUMMARY
Developer New Church II, LLC has requested an extension of the December 31, 2017,
deadline for commencement of construction provided in the City's Hotel Operations
Incentive Program ("Program"). The Program deadline for entitlement was previously
extended for the developer, but for various reasons the new hotel project (at the site of
the former Orchid Tree Hotel) has not proceeded, and the developer indicates that
construction consistent with the program will commence by May, 2019. The developer
has identified that the new hotel will be a part of the luxury Auberge Resort Collection.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Consistent with and pursuant to the City's Charter power, approve an extension
of the Program deadline prior to which the project of this developer must be "under
construction" as that term is defined by the Program, on or before May 31, 2019, with
the understanding that this project, once operational, will be entitled to the highest level
of operating assistance available under the Program, to wit, seventy-five percent (75%)
of the adjusted transient occupancy tax rate, as provided by the Program, payable for
thirty (30) years, or until the operator has been paid fifty million dollars ($50,000,000),
whichever event occurs first.
2. Direct the staff to negotiate with the developer, and return to the Council as soon
as practicable with an Operating Covenant for this project whereby a hotel that is part of
the Auberge Resorts Collection will be constructed at the former Orchid Tree Hotel and
church site owned by the developer. This covenant would be considered at a public

hearing and recorded against the property if approved by the Council pursuant to the
City's general and Charter authority, and consistent with relevant provisions of the
Program.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Upon conversation with the developer since preparation of the last staff report in this
matter (a copy of which is included as ATTACHMENT A), staff has learned that the
developer is ready to confirm an important and positive fact about this new hotel's brand
— which will be part of the Auberge Resorts Collection, an impressive brand by any
measure. Furthermore, the City is apprised that pursuant to the developer's agreement
with Auberge, the Palm Springs location will be the only such property in the Coachella
Valley.
Notwithstanding the extended performance schedule previously submitted to the
Council, the developer has agreed to accelerate the commencement date to May, 2019.
Staff opines that the developer's identification of, and commitment to bringing the
Auberge brand to Palm Springs, particularly under circumstances wherein the hotel
eliminates significant neighborhood blight, supports staff's recommendation in this case.
ALTERNATIVES:
Reject this approach to an extension of the City's Hotel Operations Incentive Program
deadline for commencement of construction.
Reject this extension of the City's Hotel Operations Incentive Program deadline for
commencement of construction under the terms recommended, but direct staff as to the
terms under which the extension would be approved.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:
The Planning Commission determined that this project was exempt from consideration
under the California Environmental Quality Act on a number of grounds. The extension
of the City's Hotel Incentive Program considered at this time is not a "project" for
purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as that term is defined by
CEQA guidelines (Guidelines) section 15378. This action is organizational or
administrative activity by the City of Palm Springs in furtherance of its police power, and
will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment, per section
15378(b)(5) of the Guidelines.

EXTENSION OF HOTEL INCENTIVE PROGRAM, ORCHID TREE HOTEL
BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:
This project consists of two (2) properties that the City required be merged when
approving the existing entitlement in 2016. Each property is owned by a separate LLC —
the community church site being owned by Cahuilla Church, LLC, and the Orchid Tree
Bungalows site being owned by New Church ll, LLC. Richard E. Weintraub is a principal
of both LLCs. The latter is the entity that secured its initial entitlement per the incentive
program, and later secured the existing approval.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If the developer secures an extension of its existing entitlement, the operating covenant
proposed will grant the project a rebate of seventy-five percent (75%) of the adjusted
new transient occupancy tax revenue for thirty (30) years or until the operator has been
paid fifty million dollars ($50,000,000), whichever event occurs first. Revenues to the
City will consist of 25% of the new hotel transient occupancy taxes, and all associated
City share of sales and property taxes. Additionally, long-term economic and tourism
benefits to the City will accrue from this type of luxury hotel brand at the center of
Downtown. Moreover, significant security and code enforcement cost burdens
associated with the current blighted property will be eliminated.

SUMMARY
Developer New Church II, LLC has requested an extension of the December 31, 2017
deadline for commencement of construction provided in the City's Hotel Operations
Incentive Program ("Program"). The Program deadline for entitlement was previously
extended for the developer, but for various reasons the hotel project often known as the
Orchid Tree Hotel has not proceeded, and construction will not commence until late 2019.
Without the opportunity to share the adjusted transient occupancy tax revenue identified
in the Program with the City, this project will not proceed.
RECOMMENDATION:
Direct the staff to negotiate with the developer, and return to the Council, no later than
the and of October 2017,with an Operating Covenant for this project.This covenant would
(i) be considered at a public hearing and recorded against the property if approved by the
Council, consistent with the Program, but also pursuant the City's general and charter
authority, (H) provide the Project with the highest level of operating assistance available
under the Program, to wit, seventy-five percent(75%)of the adjusted transient occupancy
tax rate, as provided by the Program, payable for thirty (30) years, or until the operator
has been paid fifty million dollars ($50,000,000), whichever event occurs first, and
(ill) require that the project's construction commence by the end of November 2019.

EXTENSION OF HOTEL INCENTIVE PROGRAM,ORCHID TREE HOTEL
STAFF ANALYSIS:
In January 2008, the City Council adopted the Hotel Operations Incentive Program
("Program"), codified in Chapter 5.26 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code. The Program
provided operating assistance in the form of a rebate of adjusted transient occupancy tax
revenue at a level, and for a duration that varied depending upon the nature and size of
any new hotel, and at a fixed level for existing hotels that met program criteria. The
Program has stimulated extensive investment in new and improved hotels. For example,
in 2008 hotel tax revenue to the City was approximately thirteen million dollars
($13,000,000). For the current fiscal year, that revenue has increased to approximately
twenty-nine million dollars ($29,000.000). The Council has extended the program, which
was originally set to expire at the end of December 2012, and extended program
deadlines for projects on a case-by-case basis.
On December 17, 2014,the Council extended the program deadline for entitlement of the
Orchid Tree project until December 31, 2015, but maintained the December 31, 2017
deadline, by which project developer New Church II, LLC had to commence the project's
construction. The City timely approved the project's entitlement, but unanticipated delays
have impacted the project's progress and the commencement of construction. By way of
additional background, it should be noted that the sites that make up the future hotel site
have regrettably fell into significant disrepair prior to the developer's pursuit of this project.
The developer and the City agree that the condition of the sites must be addressed as
soon as possible.
Staff will not recommend an extension of the deadline for construction beyond the life of
this project's existing entitlement. The City must retain control of the project's
development and discretion with respect to the financial commitment of sharing adjusted
transient occupancy tax revenue. The performance schedule submitted by the developer
extends beyond the expiration of that entitlement, and staff anticipates that this
entitlement will necessarily be extended and modified to conform with ongoing
discussions with the developer. Upon reconsideration of the project's entitlement, the City
can and will exercise any control it wishes as to how the project proceeds. The term of
the project's entitlement will only be extended by the City in a controlled exercise of the
City's discretion, none of which is waived at this time.
Without the extension issued in 2014, the project would not have remained eligible for the
Program as the City considered it, and would not have proceeded. In approving this initial
extension to allow the project, the Council considered (i) the project's nature as a 'first
class" hotel incorporating the retrofit and renovation of two (2) Class 1 historic sites, (11)
extensive project and site specific challenges to be addressed, including without limitation
the elimination of severe blight in the Tennis Club Neighborhood and downtown area in
QJ
City Council Staff Report

EXTENSION OF HOTEL INCENTIVE PROGRAM, ORCHID TREE HOTEL
the wake of a substantial fire, (iii) the number of new hotel rooms, complemented by
amenities and special features that the new hotel would provide, and (iv)the developers
cooperation with the City to date (e.g., work with the Historical Preservation Board and
Architectural Advisory Committee, cooperation with neighbors, etc.).
The 2014 extension approved by the Council gave the developer until the end of 2015 to
entitle this project, and the developer successfully did so. On November 18, 2015, the
Planning Commission approved the project, as defined at that time, before the end of
2015, i.e., prior to the extended Program deadline applicable to new hotels. As is
discussed below, the nature of the approved extension represents significant support for
staffs formulation of Its recommendation at this time.
On March 9, 2016, the developer secured a second Planning Commission approval for
the adjacent community church parcel for a separate hotel. Finally,on November 9, 2016,
New Church II, LLC secured the current version of its existing land use entitlement for
this project. The project site is the 3.1 acres located at the northwest corner of Baristo
Road and Belardo Road. This site contemplates the merger of the two (2) properties
owned by New Church ll, LLC and Cahuilla Church, LLC, another company owned by
this developer's principal. The assessor's parcel numbers comprising the hotel site are
as follows: 513-151-041, 513-151-042, 513-151-043, 513-151-044, 513-151-037-0, and
513-151-028-2. The staff report supporting this existing entitlement is attached to this staff
report as Attachment 2.This approved entitlement will continue in force and effect for two
(2)years, until November 9, 2018.
Between the Council's initial program deadline extension for this project and the approval
of the pending entitlement, the developer made multiple presentations to the Historic Site
Preservation Board, Architectural Advisory Committee, and the Planning Commission.
The significant number of hearings that proved necessary through almost two (2) years
reflected significantly intensified environmental analysis of this project that ultimately
proved necessary. Staff notes that throughout this process, the developer continued to
be cooperative and responsive.
In securing its November 9, 2016 approval, the developer abandoned the project that it
originally planned, and reimagined the site. This process required engagement of an
entirely new architectural team that better fit the revised concept. Since receiving that
approval for the hotel as designed, New Church II, LLC has been working to select a
luxury operator that it has stated will elevate the level of hospitality and service at this
hotel to the very highest standards. The developer is nearing the execution of a letter of
intent with its operator of choice, and looks forward to making a formal announcement
once a franchise agreement with that operator is finalized. The developer anticipates that
this process will continue through October 2017.
06
City Council Staff Report
July 19, 2017--Page 4
EXTENSION OF HOTEL INCENTIVE PROGRAM, ORCHID TREE HOTEL
In order to present complete information to the Council, Staff requested that the developer
submit a realistic performance schedule to which it will adhere in moving forward with this
project. That schedule is attached to this staff report as Attachment 3. As the Council will
note, the developer cannot commit to the commencement of construction until early
November 2019, almost a year to the day after the current entitlement expires.
The developer provides the following context for the performance schedule submitted.
Presuming that creation of formal drawings commences during early August, the
developer will be coordinating the efforts of architects in Brazil, Malibu and Rancho
Mirage. The developer also has three (3)interior designers and consultants, one of whom
may be abroad in Paris, while the others are in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. New Church
II, LLC will also be using two (2) landscape designers, one for softscape and hardscape
and the other for lighting and additional softscape. Coordination among and between
these design professionals will be done"in-house."
The developer's commitment to quality and refinement in the working drawings requires
that they take at least ten (10) months to produce, beginning after the developer has its
franchise agreement with its operator in-hand.The developer is allowing time for the input
of its operator, and the process of proceeding from schematic planning and design
development, and eventually through four (4) months to produce construction drawings.
The developer notes that it has no control over how long City review and approval will
require. The performance schedule assumes what the developer regards as an optimistic
prediction in this regard. Once the City approval of plans is complete, the developer will
go out to formal bid, sending this project to three (3)qualified contractors. New Church II,
LLC is allowing three (3) months for this process, and indicates that it should be able to
break ground within three to four (3-4) months once it has a contractor in place. An
additional matter worthy of note is that the developer anticipates more commission work
on this project arising from design issues.
i
Staff opines that this project remains a worthwhile addition to the Tennis Club
Neighborhood and downtown area. Further, any action that has the effect of preserving
the status quo would be contrary to the public health,safety and welfare.Thus,this project
is an important one for the City, not only in terms of what it brings, but also in terms of
what it eliminates. This project proposes to take one of the biggest long-standing code
enforcement problems in the City, a problem that the current owner and developer notably
did not create, and provide the City with a hotel that promises to be not only "first class,"
but unique in the market place. The developer seems highly motivated to complete the
project, and provide a significant benefit to the community in accord with staffs
requirements.

City Council Staff Report

EXTENSION OF HOTEL INCENTIVE PROGRAM, ORCHID TREE HOTEL
New Church II, LLC says that it will move this important project forward with all possible
haste. When the Planning Commission reviews the developer's eventual application to
extend the term of this approval which it needs to complete the project, the performance
schedule now submitted to the Council will prove helpful. In recommending that the
Council direct staff to secure an operating covenant with the developer, consistent with
the Program and pursuant to the City's general and Charter authority, staff notes that a
condition precedent of the operating covenant remaining valid beyond the expiration of
the current entitlement will be the extension of that entitlement. In other words, control
over this project will be exercised through the entitlement process rather than the
Program. If/when the existing entitlement is extended beyond November 9, 2018, the
operating covenant that will be considered by the Council, if approved, will remain valid.
The City Council has the general and charter authority, in the context of an operating
covenant, to provide any level of assistance that it deems appropriate to a hotel operator.
The Program is just one vehicle that the City can employ in extending assistance.
Given (i)the City's action with respect to this project to date, (11)the project-specific finding
as to the public welfare recommended by staff, and (U1) the spirit of the Program
considered as a whole, wherein staff cannot reasonably characterize the scope and/or
nature of the project planned as anything but a "new hotel" worthy of the highest level of
assistance possible in the Program, staff urges Council to accept the recommendation
stated above.
ALTERNATIVES:
Reject this approach to an extension of the City's Hotel Operations Incentive Program
deadline for commencement of construction for the Orchid Tree Hotel.
Reject this extension of the City's Hotel Operations Incentive Program deadline for
commencement of construction for the Orchid Tree Hotel under the terms recommended,
but direct staff as to the terms under which the extension would be approved.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:
The Planning Commission determined that this project was exempt from consideration
under the California Environmental Quality Act on a number of grounds. The extension of
the City's Hotel Incentive Program considered at this time is not a "project" for purposes
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as that term is defined by CEQA
guidelines (Guidelines) section 15378. This action is organizational or administrative
activity by the City of Palm Springs in furtherance of its police power, and will not result
in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment, per section 15378(b)(5) of the
Guidelines.

SUBJECT: EXTENSION OF HOTEL INCENTIVE PROGRAM PARTICIPATION FOR
NEW CHURCH 11, LLC AND 750 LOFTS, LLC FOR THE ORCHID TREE
HOTEL, 261 SOUTH BELARDO ROAD, AND THE 750 LOFTS
PROJECT, 750 NORTH PALM CANYON DRIVE FOR A PERIOD OF
ONE (1) YEAR FOR PROJECT ENTITLEMENT, WITH CONSTRUCTION
COMMENCING NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 31, 2017.
FROM: David H. Ready, Esq., Ph.D., City Manager
BY: Community& Economic Development Department
SUMMARY
In January, 2008, the City Council adopted the Hotel Incentive Program which consisted
of two primary incentive components: 1) the construction of new hotels and, 2) the
renovation and upgrading of existing hotels. The Ordinance was extended in May,
2013, with a deadline for qualifying for participation in the Program December 31, 2014,
both for Qualified Renovation Programs and for New Hotels.
These requests to extend the program are from the developers of the Orchid Tree Hotel
on Belardo Road, Downtown and the 750 Lofts Hotel, located on Palm Canyon in the
core of the Uptown Design District. Both projects are well into the design review
process but have had additional time added to their processing time due to historic
preservation issues and community input, given their sensitive locations. This action
would only extend the eligibility of the two projects to participate in the Hotel Incentive
Program but does not approve any actual agreement or amend the Ordinance.
Covenants documenting the agreements would return at a future meeting for Council
approval once the projects are completed with the entitlement process.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve eligibility for participation in the Hotel Incentive Program by New Church
ll, LLC for the Orchid Tree Inn & Spa, located at 261 South Belardo Road for a
period of one year, extending the deadline for project entitlement until December

31. 2016; the deadline for commencing construction remains on December 31,
2017; and
2. Approve eligibility for participation in the Hotel Incentive Program by 750 Lofts,
LLC for the 750 Lofts hotel project, located at 750 North Palm Canyon Drive for a
period of one year, extending the deadline for project entitlement until December
31, 2015; the deadline for commencing construction remains on December 31,
2017.
BACKGROUND:
In January, 2008, the City Council adopted the Hotel Incentive Program which consisted
of two primary incentive components: 1) the construction of new hotels and, 2) the
renovation and upgrading of existing hotels. Generally, the program provided for up to
a rebate of a portion of TOT to developers of new hotels for prescribed periods of time,
based on the quality of the hotel. For those hotels undergoing renovation, the City
would keep the historical "base"TOT and share a portion of the TOT above the base.
The 2008 Hotel Incentive Program originally expired at the end of December 2012,
having stimulated an incredible renovation of more than 1,600 Palm Springs hotel
rooms and generating in excess of a $180 million investment in the renovation and
upgrading of hotel properties throughout the City. The exception was the category of
new first class hotels: that class of hotels will expire at the end of 2013.
In September 2012, prior to the original expiration date, Staff asked Council to allow it to
negotiate one-on-one Hotel Incentive Agreements with developers of hotel properties
based on a number of factors: (1) the need for the particular hotel product in the City's
inventory; (2) the demonstrated financial need for the incentive by the Developer; and
(3)the public benefit provided through the development or redevelopment of the hotel,
As Section 5.26.010 ["Purpose"], subdivision (c) of the Hotel Operations Incentive
Program states:
"(c) It is in the best interest of the City of Palm Springs to induce and encourage
the,operation, and maintenance of hotel facilities that would not otherwise exist,
thereby creating new sources of tax revenues for the city's general fund which
supports the public services that the city provides its residents."
In May, 2013, the City Council extended the Program, establishing the following new
deadlines:
"Qualified renovation program" means a property improvement program
undertaken by an existing hotel which invests no less than fifteen thousand
dollars per room, or invests no less than one million dollars in ancillary non-hotel
room facilities and/or space. The properly improvement program shall be
comprehensively executed in a single renovation project on the property and be

December 17, 2014
Page 3
under construction no later than December 31 , 2014 and completed no later than
December 31, 2015.
"New hotel," 'first class new hotel," and "comfort new hotel" means a hotel
or first class hotel or comfort hotel that is or was fully entitled as a hotel after
January 1, 2008, but before December 31, 2014 and which is under construction
prior to December 31, 2017. The term "new hotel" does not include all, or any
portion of, or addition to, an existing hotel.
But for the deadlines noted above, these two hotel projects would be eligible to
participate in the City's Hotel Incentive Program. Both the Orchid Tree and 750 Lofts
projects fit the legislative intent of the Ordinance. One project represents both a
new hotel and the retrofit and renovation of two Class 1 historic sites, and the other
project proposes a high quality designed small hotel located in a historic district and an
opportunity to redevelop obsolete properties in the Uptown Design District.
Orchid Tree Inn &Spa
The Orchid Tree Inn & Spa Project proposes the renovation and adaptive reuse of the
Orchid Tree Inn "Bungalow Court Cottages" on West Baristo Road and the historic
Community Church at South Cahuilla Rd. Both the Church and Bungalows are Class 1
historic sites. The Project proposal also includes a new hotel complex of approximately
80 rooms; a restaurant; a banquet and meeting facility; a bar and lounge; a spa; and,
the use of underground and above-ground on-site parking.
The applicant for the Orchid Tree Project, New Church II, LLC,filed its application as a
Project with the City on June 10, 2014. However, the Developer began working with the
City on a number of general plan and community participation challenges several
months earlier.
• On May 11th the Developer presented again to the Historic Preservation Board
where they received positive feedback on their design.
• Although they received positive feedback when presenting to HPSB in May, on
October 10 when they officially presented to the Historic Preservation Board
they received a lengthy list of comments and requested changes.
• On November 180 the Developer presented again to HPSB after redesigning the
main hotel building to better suit the HSPB's concerns. The HSPB members
were satisfied with the direction of the project but still had some requests which
the developer is now working to incorporate into the project design.
• The Project was scheduled to return before the Historic Site Preservation Board
(HSPB) on December 9, 2014.

Besides the natural difficulty of redeveloping an older hotel in an established neighborhood, the
Developer is trying to satisfy the community's desire to save the historic church. The
project would combine the restoration and reuse of two historic resources while
facilitating the revitalization of a blighted area in the Tennis Club neighborhood. The
Project will incur costs beyond a normal hotel development, due to the Community
Church retrofit alone because of its substantial damage in a fire in September 2013.
Although they have been advised by multiple structural engineers that it would be more
economical to demolish the church and rebuild dusto its structural issues, it is something
they do not want to do. As a result, the Developer would spend approximately $2.5
million to preserve the church to a state that is safe for it to be located on the property of
an operating hotel.
In addition to trying to maintain our damaged historic structure, they have also worked
with the community to develop a project that is appealing to the neighbors as well as
financially possible for the operator. The Developer is working with their architects to
design a first class hotel and is now "costing out" the revisions that have been
requested by the neighbors — such as putting in over half of the parking underground,
which will cost over$1 million.
The Project in the entitlement process today represents the best opportunity to get this
challenging property redeveloped in a first class manner. The Ordinance deadline risks
the loss of this Project and all that it brings to the Tennis Club Neighborhood and the
Downtown area. Without the Hotel Incentive Program it is likely the property could
remain vacant and blighted another decade or more.
750 Lofts
The project is located in a fully developed part of the city in the Uptown D e s i g n
District. It is bounded roughly by North Palm Canyon Drive on the west,East Granvia
Valmonte on the south, North Indian Canyon Drive on the east and Tamarisk Road on
the north. The site is currently developed with a building that previously was
occupied by the Security Pack National Bank, but has been vacant for several years.
The proposed 750 Lofts hotel project is a mixed use development comprised of a
new four-story structure with commercial/retail space on the first floor fronting Palm
Canyon Drive, a restaurant on the first floor fronting Indian Canyon Drive and parking
at grade for 62 new off-street parking spaces and trash rooms. At the second level is
proposed a spa for hotel guests and 38 new hotel rooms and eight(8) 2-story loft units.
The fourth floor is a sun deck, pool, bar, toilets and support spaces. An existing two
story commercial(bank) building and surface parking lot built in the eighties is proposed to
be demolished to redevelop the site.
In addition to the lot merger, the project is proposed to be connected by a north-south
pedestrian walkway to the existing Alcazar Hotel which is immediately south of the
subject site. The Alcazar has 33 existing hotel rooms and 34 existing parking spaces.
An east-west pedestrian passageway linked to a mid-block cross walk at Indian
i
Hotel Incentive Program Eligibility

Page 5
Canyon Drive is proposed to encourage pedestrian connectivity between Palm
Canyon and the neighborhoods and hotels to the east of the site.
The spa on the second floor is proposed for hotel guests only and the fourth floor bar is
proposed to be open to the public.
j The proposed project is located within the Las Palmas Business Historic District
(LPBHD), Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 8.05.185, persons wishing to initiate
new construction within a historic district must submit an application for approval to the
Historic Site Preservation Board (HSPB). The required historic site review, as well as
the neighborhood meeting process, has created some additional timing Issues in the
approval of the project. In terms of the elements of the entitlement application, the
proposed project is comprised of the following:
• A preliminary PDD in lieu of a change of zone to change the underlying zoning
from C-11R-3113DO 104 to PDD 374 and seek relief from the development
standards of those zones and the high-rise ordinance;
• A General Plan Amendment (GPA) to change the general plan land use
designation from Neighborhood Community Commercial (NCC) to Mixed-
Use/!Multi-use Uptown(0.5 FAR, 15du/ac,30 du/sc w/PDD);
• A ConditionalUse Permit(CUP)to engage the High-Rise Ordinance;and
• A lot merger of the subject parcel with the parcels on which the Alcazar Hotel
are sited for purposes of establishing a floor area ratio (FAR) for the
resultant lot that conforms to the GeneralPlan.
So far, after a significant redesign of an earlier plan, the project has been very well
received through the reviewing bodies and through the neighborhood. The major
project milestones so far have been:
• Submittal of PDD Application occurred on 7.16.14 and 8.13.14.
• Neighborhood Meeting was held on 9.1.14.

• AAC Approval of the PDD (6-0 Vote)occurred on 10.6.14.
• On October 14, 2014, HSPB reviewed the proposed development against the
factors outlined in PSMC Section 8.05.190 and the LPBHD Conceptual Design
Guidelines for New Commercial Construction & Major Remodels (11-5-1985) and
approved conceptual PDD (6-1 Vote).
• Major Architectural Application Submittal. Major Architectural Application was
submitted on 11-10-14 and Final Planned Development Application will be
submitted at a later date. Color, materials, specific landscape material and plant

selections still to be reviewed. The Developer is awaiting hearings to be
scheduled with AAC and HSPB; the application also needs to go to Planning
Commission, and the schedule begins to run into the holiday schedule for staff I
review and for meeting dates.
• The Developer anticipated the proposed Preliminary PDD to be final and CD's for
plan check by 1.15.15,just beyond the December 31, 2014 deadline.
The action before Council is merely to establish that, pursuant to Section 5.26.010 (c)
("Purpose"), that it is in the best interests of the City to find and declare that, based on the
importance of the two projects within their neighborhoods or districts, and based on the
! significant design work and review already undertaken on the respective projects, that the
City Council would find and declare the two projects to remain eligible for participation in the
Hotel Incentive Program for a period of one year, extending the deadline for entitlement
until December 31, 2015, but not extending the deadline for the commencement of
construction, which remains on December 31, 2017.
Furthermore, neither action makes any findings regarding either project's approval or
entitlement status, and neither project is deemed"approved"under the Zoning Code or under
the Hotel Incentive Program by this action. If completed through the entitlement stage, each
Hotel Operations Covenant would require approval at a noticed pubic hearing by the City
Council at a future date.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Since the initial application for a larger hotel project in 2015,the applicant has submitted
a number of revisions reducing the overall scope and scale of a hotel project at the
subject site in an effort to adaptively re-use the two existing historic sites along with
three adjacent vacant properties. As noted In the background above, the Planning
Commission approved a 47-room hotel project on the Orchid Tree site and three
adjacent properties last November, and a 12-room hotel with accessory commercial
space (restaurant and spa) on the Community Church site this past March. As a
condition of approval, the applicant was required to operate both properties as one.
In addition to the combining the sites, the applicant is now seeking approval to relocate
the twelve rooms and fitness center from the Church site to the Orchid Tree Inn
property, resulting in additional space for accessory commercial uses within the Church
building. The Community Church will contain a larger spa of 3.928 square feet, new
meeting space of 1,894 square feet and a second bar/lounge area of 375-square feet in
the lobby. The restaurant will remain the same size and location, including the same
number of interior and exterior seats, as previously approved. Other space within the
Church building will be utilized as ancillary operations and uses (office, restrooms,
admin., etc.). No additional square footage is proposed to the Community Church
building.
The Orchid Tree Inn site and adjacent properties to the north will now contain all guest
rooms for the project. Additionally, a fitness center is proposed and there will be two
pool areas—one main pool area and a smaller pool centered between the Orchid Tree
bungalows. Changes from the November approval include the addition of a second
story element on two buildings to accommodate the relocated guest rooms and fitness
center.
ANALYSIS:
General Plan
Land Use: The current General Plan Land Use of the project site is Small Motel, which is
described as follows:
Small Hotel Resort Commercial (15 hotel rooms per net acre; 10
dwelling units per acme). This designation applies to areas with smaller-
scale, boutique type hotels that are typically found in Warm Sands and
Tennis Club neighborhoods. It is intended that the tourist resort character of
these neighborhoods be preserved; as a result, new residential uses or
conversion of small hotels to residential uses are permitted as long as they
comply with the conversion requirements outlined within the,City's Zoning
Code. Stand-atone retail and commercial uses are not permitted In this land
use designation. Ancillary commercial uses such as a gift shop associated
with a small hotel use are allowed.

Planning Commission Staff Report
November%2016—Page 6
Case Nos.5.1345 CUP,3.0678 MAJ.HSPB 23&RSPB 72—Cahulla Church,LLC
The 2.75-net acre site would be permitted up to 41 hotel rooms under this designation.
The applicant proposes renovating and re-constructing the same number of units as
previously approved for the Orchid Tree and vacant sites, thereby continuing its non-
conforming status of 27 rooms per acre, and constructing the 12 rooms that would be
permitted for the Church site under the Small Hotel designation.
Downtown Urban Design Plan: Appendix A of the 2007 Palm Springs General Plan is
the Downtown Urban Design Plan, which is a workbook that was produced to serve as
design guidelines for future downtown development. Staff notes the following as it relates
to the project:
Building Height:
• The site Is located within the Tennis Club District of the Plan, which states "building
heights should be consistent with current heights and zoning restrictions."
• "Building heights should result in a varied skyline. Taller buildings, if properly
designed, will create dramatic view corridors that will add to the vitality of downtown."
• "Talter buildings(in excess of three stories) should compensate for their height through
the provision of grade level public open space, preservation of views, superior design,
and quality construction."
Orientation& Massing:
• "An east-west orientation of taller buildings will reduce the bulk facing the mountains,
which wig help create/preserve view corridors in the downtown area. The east-west
orientation of taller buildings is recommended when appropriate."
• "Building massing should step back above the ground floor to maintain and protect
public view corridors along streets."
• "Buildings should have variable roof lines."
Architecture&Architectural Detailing
• "it is important that the rich architectural heritage of Palm Springs be protected. The
City urges property owners to preserve, restore and productively use Class I and Class
it historical buildings whenever practical."
• New buildings should be sensitive to the architectural styles and detailing of
surrounding buildings while adding to the architectural quality and eclectic nature of
downtown."
The largest building of the new construction is a three-story modem hotel building with
simple rhythmic patterns and textures around all four facades. The L-shaped structure
orients in both north-south and east-west directions with east-west being two-story and the
north-south being three stories. The building steps back from the north property Gne above
the ground floor and will be setback twenty feet from the easterly property line. The third
floor deck space will be setback further from the street and north property line.
The project incorporates preserving and re-use of historical structures on both Class 1
sites.

Conditional Use Permit. The Planning Commission must make certain findings in
order to approve this Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Section 94.02.00 of the Palm
Springs Zoning Code; those findings are analyzed by staff below:
a. That the use applied for at the location set forth in the application is
property one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by this
Zoning Code.
Pursuant to Section 92.04.01(Dx16) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code (PSZC), the
R-3 zone permits restaurants, provided that they are an integral part of a hotel
containing at least 20 guest rooms, with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP). In this case, the restaurant will be integral part of a hotel exceeding 20 guest
rooms, and thus, the project conforms to this finding.
Pursuant to Section 92.04.01(D)(19) of the PSZC, the R-3 zone permits spas as an
accessory use to a hotel with the approval of a CUP, if (1) the facility only serve
hotel guests; (2) the hotel has a rrlinimum of 15 rooms; (3) staff is licensed and
trained in the particular programs provided In accordance with Chapter 5.34 of the
Municipal Code; and (4) such facility shall comply with Chapter 5.34 of the Municipal
Code. The project conforms to these criteria.
b. That the use is necessary or desirable for the development of the
community, is in harmony with the various elements of objectives of the
general plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses or to future uses
24
Planning Commieow Staff Report
November 9,2016—Page 9
Case Nos.5.1345 CUP,3.0678 MAJ,HSPB 23&RSPB 72—WOW Church,LLC
specifically permitted In the zone in which the proposed use is to be
located.
The adaptive re-use of these historic properties as a hotel with accessory
commercial uses is necessary and desirable for the progress and development of
the Historic Tennis Club Neighborhood and community at large, and will be
consistent with the 2007 General Plan. The project will create a functional use
within two long-vacant historic properties and be consistent with the city's policy to
encourage and support projects that provide societal benefits, including historic
preservation (General Plan Land Use Element, Policy LU 1.6). All of the existing
historic Orchid Tree bungalows will be retained and contribute to the unique
character of Palm Springs (General Plan Land Use Element, Policy LU 7.6). The
project will also enhance the viability of the proposed hotel use, resulting in
Increased transit-occupancy tax for the city. Furthermore, given the re-use will likely
be less intense at times than the previous church use and contained within the
existing floor area, the proposal is not anticipated to be detrimental to existing uses
or future uses specifically permitted in the R-3 zone.
c. That the site for the intended use Is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate such use, including yards, setbacks, walls or fences,
landscaping, and other features required in order to adjust such use to
those existing or permitted future uses of land in the neighborhood.
The applicant proposes to renovate existing structures and construct new building§
on the 3.1-acre project site. The new structures will meet current development
standards, such as yards, setbacks, height limits, etc., in order to integrate the
proposed hotel and accessory commercial space with the existing historic structures
and site surroundings. Therefore, the site is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the proposed uses and will be consistent with those existing or
permitted future uses of land in the neighborhood.
d. That the site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways properly
designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be
generated by the proposed use.
The project site is located adjacent to Barrsto Road and Cahuilla Road, and both are
improved for two-way vehicle traffic, which is adequate to accommodate the type
and quantity of traffic expected for the proposed uses. Sidewalk improvements are
required along Cahuilla Road and will enhance pedestrian circulation around the
site.
e. That the conditions to be imposed and shown on the approved site plan
are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general
welfare and may- include minor modification of the zone's property
development standards.

Case Nos.5.1345 CUP,3.0678 MAJ,HSPB 23&HSP8 72—Cahuila Ckirch,U.0
In order to ensure the protection of public health, safety and general welfare, a
number of conditions are proposed and attached to the resolution as Exhibit"A".
CONCLUSION:
The project is consistent with the land use policies of the General Plan and Zoning
Code as conditioned in the draft resolution attached to this report. Staff is able to
recommend findings necessary for approval of the proposed uses. On that basis, staff
is recommending conditional approval of the project.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
The proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),.
as the proposal meets criteria under CEQA Guideline Sections 15331 (Historic
Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation), 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) and
15332 (Infill Development).
The project qualifies for exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15331, Historic
Resource RestorationfRehabilitation, insofar as the bungalows, stone arch and
community church located on the property have been determined to be Class 1
resources of local significance. The rehabilitation and restoration of these structures will
repair, stabilize, rehabilitate, conserve and reconstruct the bungalows, stone arch and
church building on site, in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's
Standards, as follows:
I. The property will be partially used as it was historically and be given a new use
that maximizes the retention of distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial
relationships. The project involves the reuse of the bungalows as hotel units and
adaptive reuse of the church as hotel operations, restaurant and spa uses.
ii. The historic character of the bungalows will be retained and preserved. In this
case, the 10 single story, rectangularly distributed bungalows surrounding a
central pool and courtyard will be preserved. The community church will retain
its historic footprint and preserve open space areas that previously existed on
this portion of the project site.
iii. The property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place and use,
because the rehabilitation will be undertaken with similar and complementary
materials that are consistent with the original materials and character of the
historic properties.
iv. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples
of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. The bungalows
will retain hand troweled stucco, roof the and awnings that characterize the
craftsmanship of the bungalows. The stone arch will be relocated on-site by a
stone specialist, under the supervision of a qualified consultant meeting the
Secretary of Interlor's Professional Qualifications Standards in Architectural
History, or Historic Architecture, to ensure its distinctive craftsmanship is
preserved. The church will retain its historical character, including bell-tower and
steeple, orientation to Baristo and Cahuilla Roads, same roof forms/siopes with
Planning Commission Staff Report

Case Nos.6.1345 CUP,3.0678 MAJ.HSPS 23 S HSPa 72—Cehuila Church,LLC
replaced materials, existing concrete masonry walls, pointed arch door and
window openings, wood doors, steel sash windows and French doors, Gothic
Revival elements (buttresses and decorative stonework) and courtyard facing
west.
v. Deteriorated features of the structures will be repaired or replaced. Where
replaced, the materials, finishes and construction techniques will preserve the
character of the features.
vi. New additions, including the buildings located to the north, will not destroy or
damage or destroy the bungalows, stone arch or church structures. The
placement of the new construction will not affect the spatial relationship of the
bungalows, and the architectural style, material and relationship of the new
construction will be compatible with the bungalows, stone arch and community
church.
vii. The new construction on the site will occur in such a manner that if they were to
be removed, the essential elements of the bungalows —their distribution around
a central pool and courtyard — will not be impacted. Similarly, the essential
elements of the church site with open air courtyard and orientation towards the
streets will not be impacted.
The project qualifies for exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15302,
Replacement or Reconstruction, as the newly constructed hotel buildings replace
commercial structures that previously existed on the site. The new construction on the
site represents the replacement of units previously occurring on the property, but
destroyed by fire. Because these units occurred in the past, their reconstruction will not
result in any changes in traffic, noise, air quality emissions or other impacts, since the
number of units and intensity of use will be similar to that previously occurring.
The project qualifies for exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15332, Infifl
Development, insofar as the project meets the following criteria:
i. The project is generally consistent with the applicable general plan designation
and all applicable general plan policies, including
• Land Use Element— Policy LU1.5: Allow for flexible development standards
provided that the potential benefits and merit of projects can be balanced with
potential impacts.
• Land Use Element— Policy LU7.6: Retain small hotel uses as a part of the
unique character of Palm Springs.
• Land Use Element — Policy LU10.6: Strengthen the unique sense of place
currently present in Downtown by preserving and incorporating cultural and
historic uses.
• Community Design Element — Policy CD27.1: Design new structures in
architectural styles that reflect the City's diversity and creativity yet are
compatible in scale and character with the City's existing buildings and
natural surroundings.
• Community Design Element — Policy CD28:1: Support the preservation of
historically, architecturally, or archaeologically significant structures and sites
as prescribed by the Historic Preservation Ordinance.
Planning Commisslon Staff Report
November 9.2016—Page 12
Case Nos.5.1345 CUP,3.0678 MAJ,HSPB 23&RSPB 72—Cahullia Church,LLC
• Community Design Element— Policy CD28.6: Require that new construction
in designated architecturalthistoricaVcultural districts complement the existing
historic structures and open space characteristics such that the new
construction does not imitate or copy the style of the historic structures.
• Community Design Element— Policy CD28.7: Encourage developers of sites
containing a significant architectural, historical or cultural structure to
adaptively reuse and expand it, in lieu of demolition and replacement, where
financially feasible.
The project is consistent with the "R-3" zoning designation and regulations as
outlined in this report.
ii. The development occurs within the city limits on a project site of no more than
five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
III. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened
species.
iv. Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic,
noise, air quality, or water quality.
v. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
NOTIFICATION:
A public hearing notice was published in the local newspaper and mailed to all property
owners and registered occupants within a 500-foot radius of the subject property. As of
the writing of this report, staff has not received any public correspondence.

K. Pursuant to Section 94.02.00 of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, the Planning
Commission finds:
1) That the use applied for at the location set forth in the application is
properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by this
Zoning Code.
Pursuant to Section 92.04.01(D)(16) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code (PSZC), the
R-3 zone permits restaurants, provided that they are an integral part of a hotel
containing at least 20 guest rooms, with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP). In this case, the restaurant will be integral part of a hotel exceeding 20 guest
rooms,and thus, the project conforms to this finding.
3�
Planning Commission Resolution No. November 9, 2016
Amendment to Cases 5.1345 CUP,3.0678 MAJ, RSPB 23&RSPB 72 Page 4 of 8
Pursuant to Section 92.04.01(D)(19) of the PSZC, the R-3 zone permits spas as an
accessory use to a hotel with the approval of a CUP, if (1) the facility only serve
hotel guests; (2) the hotel has a minimum of 15 rooms; (3) staff is licensed and
trained in the particular programs provided in accordance with Chapter 5.34 of the
Municipal Code; and (4) such facility shall comply with Chapter 5.34 of the Municipal
Code. The project conforms to these criteria.
2) That the use is necessary or desirable for the development of the
community, is in harmony with the various elements of objectives of the
general plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses or to future uses
specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be
located.
The adaptive re-use of these historic properties as a hotel with accessory
commercial uses is necessary and desirable for the progress and development of
the Historic Tennis Club Neighborhood and community at large, and will be
consistent with the 2007 General Plan. The project will create a functional use
within two long-vacant historic properties and be consistent with the city s policy to
encourage and support projects that provide societal benefits, Including historic
preservation (General Plan Land Use Element, Policy LU 1.6). All of the existing
historic Orchid Tree bungalows will be retained and contribute to the unique
character of Palm Springs (General Plan Land Use Element, Policy LU 7.6). The
project will also enhance the viability of the proposed hotel use, resulting in
increased transit-occupancy tax for the city. Furthermore, given the re-use will likely
be less intense at times than the previous church use and contained within the
existing floor area, the proposal is not anticipated to be detrimental to existing uses
or future uses specifically permitted in the R-3 zone.
3) That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate such use, including yards, setbacks, walls or fences,
landscaping, and other features required in order to adjust such use to
those existing or permitted future uses of land in the neighborhood.
The applicant proposes to renovate existing structures and construct new buildings
on the 3.1-acre project site. The new structures will meet current development
standards, such as yards, setbacks, height limits, etc., in order to integrate the
proposed hotel and accessory commercial space with the existing historic structures
and site surroundings. Therefore, the site is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the proposed uses and will be consistent with those existing or
permitted future uses of land in the neighborhood.
4) That the site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways
properly designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of train to
be generated by the proposed use.
3) 5
Planning Commission Resolution No._____ November 9.2016
Amendment io Cases 5.1345 CUP,3.0678 MAJ. HSPB 23 8 HSPB 72 Page 5 of 8
The project site is located adjacent to Badsto Road and Cahuilla Road, and both are
improved for two-way vehicle traffic, which is adequate to accommodate the type
and quantity of traffic expected for the proposed uses. Sidewalk improvements are
required along Cahuilla Road and will enhance pedestrian circulation around the
site.
5) That the conditions to be imposed and shown on the approved site plan
are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general
welfare and may include minor modification of the zone's property
development standards.
In order to ensure the protection of public health, safety and general welfare, a
number of conditions are proposed and attached to the resolution as Exhibit W.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLVES:
SECTION 1. The Amendment is a project under CEQA and is exempt from further
environmental review. In making this determination, the City finds that:
1. The proposed project is exempt from the Califomia Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), as the proposal meets criteria under CEQA Guideline Sections 15331
(Historic Resource Restorabon/Rehabilitation), 15302 (Replacement or
Reconstruction)and 15332 (Infill Development)as follows:
a. The project qualifies for exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section
15331, Historic Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation, insofar as the
bungalows, stone arch and community church located on the property
have been determined to be Class 1 resources of local significance. The
rehabilitation and restoration of these structures will repair, stabilize,
rehabilitate, conserve and reconstruct the bungalows, stone arch and
church building on site, in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the
Interior's Standards, as follows:
i. The property will be partially used as it was historically and be
given a new use that maximizes the retention of distinctive
materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. The project
involves the reuse of the bungalows as hotel units and adaptive
reuse of the church as hotel operations, restaurant and spa uses.
ii. The historic character of the bungalows will be retained and
preserved. In this case, the 10 single story, rectangularly
distributed bungalows surrounding a central pool and courtyard will
be preserved. The community church will retain its historic footprint
and preserve open space areas that previously existed on this
portion of the project site.
Ili. The property will be recognized as a physical record of its time,
place and use, because the rehabilitation will be undertaken with
36
Planning Commission Resolution No. November 9,2016
Amendment to Cases 5.1345 CUP,3.0678 MAJ, HSPB 23 8 HSPS 72 Page 8 of 8
similar and complementary materials that are consistent with the
original materials and character of the historic properties.
iv. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction
techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a
property will be preserved. The bungalows will retain hand
troweled stucco, roof tie and awnings that characterize the
craftsmanship of the bungalows. The stone arch will be relocated
on-site by a stone specialist, under the supervision of a qualified
consultant meeting the Secretary of Interiors Professional
Qualifications Standards in Architectural History or Historic
Architecture, to ensure its distinctive craftsmanship is preserved.
The church wil retain its historical character, including bell-tower
and steeple, orientation to Baristo and Cahuilla Roads, same roof
forms/slopes with replaced materials, existing concrete masonry
walls, pointed arch door and window openings, wood doors, steel
sash windows and French doors, Gothic Revival elements
(buttresses and decorative stonework)and courtyard facing west.
v. Deteriorated features of the structures will be repaired or replaced.
Where replaced, the materials, finishes and construction
techniques will preserve the character of the features.
vi. New additions, including the buildings located to the north, will not
destroy or damage or destroy the bungalows, stone arch or church
structures. The placement of the new construction will not affect the
spatial relationship of the bungalows, and the architectural style,
material and relationship of the new construction will be compatible
with the bungalows, stone arch and community church.
vii. The new construction on the site will occur in such a manner that if
they were to be removed, the essential elements of the bungalows
—their distribution around a central pool and courtyard —will not be
Impacted. Similarly, the essential elements of the church site with
open air courtyard and orientation towards the streets will not be
Impacted.
b. The project qualifies for exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section
15302, Replacement or Reconstruction, as the newly constructed hotel
buildings replace commercial strictures that previously existed on the site.
The new construction on the site represents the replacement of units
previously occurring on the property, but destroyed by fire. Because these
units occurred in the past, their reconstruction will not result in any
changes in traffic, noise, air quality emissions or other impacts, since the
number of units and intensity of use will be similar to that previously
occurring.
c. The project qualifies for exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section
15332, Infill Development, insofar as the project meets the following
criteria:
I. The project is generally consistent with the applicable general plan
37
Planning Commission Resolution No._ November 9,2016
Amendment to Cases 5.1345 CUP,3.0678 MAJ, HSPB 23&RSPB 72 Page 7 of 8
designation and all applicable general plan policies, including:
• Land Use Element — Policy LU1.5: Allow for flexible
development standards provided that the potential benefits and
merit of projects can be balanced with potential impacts.
• Land Use Element— Policy LU7.6: Retain small hotel uses as a
part of the unique character of Palm Springs.
• Land Use Element — Policy LU10.6: Strengthen the unique
sense of place currently present in Downtown by preserving and

• Community Design Element — Policy CD27.1: Design new
structures in architectural styles that reflect the Citys diversity
and creativity yet are compatible in scale and character with the
CiVs existing buildings and natural surroundings.
• Community Design Element — Policy CD28:1: Support the
preservation of historically, architecturally, or archaeologically
significant structures and sites as prescribed by the Historic
Preservation Ordinance.
• Community Design Element— Policy CD28.6: Require that new
construction in designated architecturallhistodcaitcultural districts
complement the existing historic structures and open space
characteristics such that the new construction does not imitate or
copy the style of the historic structures.
• Community Design Element — Policy CD28.7: Encourage
developers of sites containing a significant architectural,
historical or cultural structure to adaptively reuse and expand it,
in lieu of demolition and replacement,where financially feasible.
The project is consistent with the "R-3" zoning designation and
regulations as outlined in the staff report.
ii. The development occurs within the city limits on a project site of no
more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
III. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or
threatened species.
iv. Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects
relating to traffic, noise, air quality,or water quality.
v. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and
public services.
SECTION 2. Based upon the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves the
Amendment to Case Nos. 5.1345 CUP, 3.0678 MAJ, HSPB 23 and HSPB 72, for the
rehabilitation of two Class 1 Historic Site and demolition and reconstruction of hotel
buildings on adjacent properties to operate a hotel with accessory spa and restaurant

RE: Review for Consistency with the Secretary of the interior's Standards for
the Treatment of Historic Properties,The proposed rehabilitation and Adaptive Reuse of
the Community Church/Orchid Tree Resort and Spa Project
A Class 1 Historic Site(HSPB 23)0 284 South Cahulls Road,Palm Springs, CA 92262
Dear Mr, Johns,
I have been asked to commit on the proposed, rehabilitation,adaptive reuse and proposed
exterior modifications to the site plan for the subject property by the project sponsor, Weintraub
Real Estate Group in Malibu,CA.
Historical Resources:
"The subject property contains three designated City of Palm Springs Historic Sires:the Palm
Springs Community Church was designated as a Class 1 Historic Site in 1909 and the Orchid
Tres Inn and stone arch were designated as Class 1 and Class 2 Historic Sites In 2010. Both
properties are historic resources for purposes of CEQA Review. There are no resources on the
subject property that are listed in the National Register of Historic Places(National Register)or
(the]California Register of Historical Resources(California Register),nor do any other buildings
or features appear so eligible'(See the Orchid Tree Resort and Spa Project, Historical
Resources Impacts Evaluation Prepared for Weintraub Real Estate Group by Chattel, Inc.,
Historic Preservation Consultants, Sherman Oaks,CA 91423 on June 6,2014).The current
i
1 i
177
proposal has been modified to undertake a project within the existing envelope of the church
and associated church hall.
'The Community Church was dedicated on March 15. 1936, replacing the First Community
Church.This structure,designed by Charles Tanner, has long been a landmark within the
neighborhood.The vernacular brick structure Is finished with Gothic Revival features.The
Community Church is constructed out of grey concrete block, arranged in a most decorative
fashion.The subtle play of light and shadow across these walls must be seen to be appreciated.
Later on,Harry J. Williams, architect of La Plaza and the Carrell Building and father of E.
Stewart Wliiams would design the northern addition.%(Palm Springs Historical Society, untitled
and undated brochure,the resource is identified as#31).
Secretary of the lnterloes Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties
As a Professionally Qualified Architectural Historian,'i have reviewed the project revisions
proposed by the sponsor and have determined that the modified and revised project would not
cause a'substantial adverse change'to this"historical resource'as it conforms to the
footprintlenvelope of the building. Additionally, the project as proposed, Is consistent with the
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.
Pursuant to the City of Palm Springs Municipal Code under Section 8.05.190,the
following: Factors[are]to be considered upon application:
In reviewing and aging upon each application,the historic site preservation board shelf
consider.
1. The historic value and significance,or the architectural value and significance or both, of
the structure and its relation to the historic value of the surrounding area;
2. The relationship or the exterior architectural features of any structure to the rest of See
structure itself.
3. The general compatibility or exterior design,arrangement,texture and material which is
proposed by the applicant.
4. Archaeological or ecological significance of the area.
Specifically,the proposal compiles with the following treatment standards for rehabilitation:
Standard No. 1
A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal
change to its distinctive materials,features,spaces,and spatial relationships.
Orchld Tree Resort&Spa Project Church Project,Palm Springs,CA
2
78
The project is now proposed as a rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of said structure and minimal
changes, except those that require reconstruction and restoration of fire damaged areas and to
accommodate ancillary uses associated with the conversion of the church to a full service hotel.
Standard No. 2
The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved.The removal of
distinctive materials or alteration of featuros,spaces,and spatial relationships that
characterize a property will be avoided.
The project restores fire damaged areas utilizing materials which will match existing materials in
color,texture, size and proportion. fenestration and exterior materials,will for the most part be
preserved and rehabilitated through a seismic retrofit.Adaptive reuse will result in changes in
the former church and assembly halls and classroom space.
Standard No.b
Distinctive features,finishes,and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship
that characterize a property shall be preserved.
The project seeks to respect this standard,in that,the rehabilitation and adaptive reuse will
conform to the existing envelope of the building. Reconstruction will occur in fire damaged areas
based upon existing physical evidence and historic photographs, designation materials and
drawings.
Standard No. 6
Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced.Where the severity of
deterioration requires replacement of distinctive feature,the new feature will match the
old In design, color,texture,and where possible,materials.Replacement of missing
features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence.
Historic materials will be retained where feasible.Historic doors and windows within the
Community Church will be retained and rehabilitated as well.
Standard No.9
New additions,exterior alterations,or related new construction will not destroy historic
materials,features,and spatial relationships that characterize a property.The new work
will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials,
Orchid Tree Resort&Spa Project Church Project, Palm Springs,CA M
3" r
features,size,scale and proportions,and massing to protect the integrity of the property
and Its environment.
The project proposes to comply with this standard by utilizing materials and construction
techniques which repair the roofing systems,cleans and restores decorative features and will be
compatible with building's historical architectural features without creating a false sense of
history.Any cuts into the building will conform to and respect existing openings.
Only the most relevant of the nine standards are addressed above. Significant analysis of the
Standards occurred in the Chattel,Inc. Orchid Tree Resort and Spa Project on file with the
Department of Planning Services.
Integrity
Integrity Is the ability of a property to convey Its significance.To be a resource for the
purposes of CEQA, a property must not only be shown to be significant under the
California Register criteria,but it must have Integrity.To retain historic integrity a
property will always possess several,and usually most of the aspects.The subject
property has retained or tacks Integrity from the period of significance noted above.
The subject property retains the seven aspects of integrity that include location, association,
design,workmanship,setting,feeling and materials.The reconstruction of this fire damaged
building will utilize appropriate materials to match existing conditions as closely as possible.
CEQA Guidelines
CEQA Guidelines Section 16331,or Class 31. provides for an exemption from environmental
review for projects limited to maintenance,repair,stabilization, rehabilitation,restoration,
preservation, conservation,or reconstruction of historical resources in a manner consistent with
the Secretary's Standards.The proposed project would meet the Secretary's Standards for
rehabililation and therefore be exempt under Class 31.
Conclusion
We believe thatthe revised plans are In compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's
Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties as well as the National Park Service
guidelines for the adaptive reuse of historic structures,and as such,the rehabilitation and
adaptive reuse project)is exempt for Environmental Review as an historic resource.
Thank you In advance for your assistance with the review and findings related to this project.

the Orchid Tree Inn,designated as both a Class 1 and Class 2 historic Site in 2010;and the atone
arch,designated as a Class 1 Historic Site in 2010.There we no historical resources on the subject
properly that are listed in the Natonai Register of Historic Places(National Regh terj or California

Cfraracter-Defining Feabures
Chattel previously prepared a June 2D14 report for New Church II,LLC.Much of the following is
summarized from Information provided in that document.
The site of the proposed Orchid Tree Resort&Spa Project conlains two designated City of Palm
Springs Historic Sites:the Orchid Tree Inn(or"Inn")and stone arch,designated as Class 1 and
Class 2 Historic Sites In 2010. Both we considered historical resources for purposes of CEOA
review.The first FirAodc resouroe the Orchid Tree kw—comprises ten existing Spanish Colonial
Revival Style bungalows,which are located in the southeast quadrant of the proposed project site.
The second historic resource,the stone arch,is currently located to the north of the the Palen
Springs Cornmunity Church building.Previously,the Church,a Class 1 Historic Site designated in
1 gag which Is located to the southwoot of the proposed pmjed site,was included in the project site.
It has since been omitted from the plan.A more thorough discussion of this change and others is
discussed in the below"Revised Proposed Project Review"section.
With respect to the ten existing bungalows that comprise the Orchid Tree Inn and according to Palm
Springs City Council Resolution No.22819 designating the Orchid Tree Inn as a Class 1 Historic
Site,the`d m hg historic charadarisW of ire Orchid Tree inn are as follows:
• The grouping of the collages arourxl a central courtyard.
• The presence of 10 lodging units.
• One-story with wide overhanging eaves.
• Projecting ratters and an inknnal plan to the common area,
• Clay barral lib roof,wooden doors,and casament windows.
With respect to the stone archway located to The north of the Church building,and according to the
Palen Springs City Council Resolution No.22519 which found that it meets the standards for Class 1
Historic Site designation,its defining historic characteristics are as follows:
• Hand cut stone.
• Hand-bhill mortared and stone archway.
• Remolning example of early twentieth century nual devebpment
Revised Proposed Project Review
Introduction
The proposed project involves radevalopmeril of the project site as a new hotel that incorporates
existing buildings of the Orchid Tree Inn(hereinafter also referred to as 9nW).Our previous June
2014 report for New Church II,LLC described the proposed changes to the site In detail,Therefore,
for the purposes of this memo,only the dgniicant changes between the sarler proposed design and
Me revised proposed project,as of November 2,2015 are described here,vM a brief summary of
the earlier design and the revised proposed design provided for each significant charge.

Nwmmbr 2,2018

Previously,our report evaluated the construction of a new,live-story,L-$hoped hotel building with
guest rooms and pool area.However,this plan was significantly revised as of the architectural
drawing set dated November 2,2015,in response to City concerns.The most notable changes from
the previously proposed project are:
• the building massing has been substantially reduced to two stories above the parking garage
level
• the Palm Springs Conrriurdly Church parcel has been reproved from the plan,resulting In a
simpler L-shaped site just Incorporating the hotel and bungalow court.
• the rear(northernmost)two bungalows are no longer attached to the hotel units, In the
current plan,there Is now a breezeway between the two northern units and the hotel to the
north.
• A 12'x60'pool and a 12'xl2'spa Is now located in tithe center of the bungalow cart.The
entire bungalow court Is enclosed from the street by a 4-high wall that serves to prevent
access from the street to the pool area Each bungalow patio is encosed with a 5'high sled
post fence that serves to create a physical barrier between each bungalow and the pool,
while also allowing the courtyard to retain is historically open appearance.The choice by the
design team to utilize a sleet pod fence,rather than a solid wall,at the location or each of
the bu ngelows also helps the courtyard to retain a visually open quality.
• Bungalow parapets,walls,and cJhimnsys are now topped with Mission tile,in Neu of the less
hil-In icalty appropriate brick shown In previous Iterations of the design.
• The atone arch has been relocated to the west of Sungalowfkf,where the well alerts the
Church property. This row location Is highly appropriate as it will allow the arch to have a
continuing functional use,not simply existing as a nonduhctonal decorative element on the
landscape as 11 might If located elsewhere on the project site.
• The adid perimeter well on Beristo was aligned so that ti is now symmetrical with the wall on
the opposite side of the entrance,this flange will also help tie in the now walls with the
existing church wall more gracalully.
• The breezeway between the northern bungalows(115 and 06 in current plans)was covered
with a roof.This is a positive change,as this will give the breezeway space a look that is
similar to what was there historically.
• A solid wall was added on the east wall of Bungalow 05 so That It new mirrors the termination
of Bungelow46.Additionally the covered breezeway now continues in an L-shape over the
top of Bungalow Wa.south patio,Visually this makes Bungalow#5 and 06 more symmetrical
on the south elevation.
• The gate with entry to the patio of Bungalow#5 was relocated to support the breezeway roof
and altered to a solid wall.This will contribute to making the breezeway roof more slmllar to
Its historic appearance.4 will also elimbade an awkward and asymmetrical opening where
the Breezeway abuts Bungalow*5,and previously was bit open.The gate was also moved
to the south so that fi is located on the east wall of the uncovered portion of the patio,within
the steel picket fence.The gate In the previous plan was located In an awkward position
openfng right into the door to the bungalow.
• The solid patio wale,to the east on Bungalow 06 and to the crest on Bungalow 05 were Insat
from Bungalows#T and#4,respectively.so that there is greater dilfar"ation and openness
between the buildings and the patios.
• On the south elevations of Bungalows 05 and 06.sled picket lances were added Instead of
solid patio walls facing the bungalow oast pool and spa.This will allow for a more open.and
historlally appropriate,appearance.
The following describes the revisions to the previously proposed project in detai,and evaluates
conformance with the Secretary's Standards.

The plan has been revised to exclude the Palm Springs Community Church from tine project area.
The current project area,as described In the revised proposed project,only Incorporates the L-
shaped Orchid Tree Hotel property.
orchid Tree Inn—Proposed Alterations
Previously,our June 2014 report evaluated the proposed addition of second floors to the two rear
(northernmost)bungalows In the grouping of ten.AM of the ten bungalows that comprise the Orchid
Tree Inn are currently one-story. In that report.we described how the new second boor would step
back a full bay from the first floor parapet,working to distinguish the now construction from the
existing buildings,and interpreting(he fact that the bulldings were historically only one4ory.We
also described how the overall mass and scale of the addition would work well In the context of the
targer project,as it would provide a visual transition by allowing the bungalows to"step-up"to the
new Once-gory L-shaped hotel building that was proposed at that time.VW also described how the
second floor addition would be contemporary In style with exterior wells Incorporating contemporary,
perforated aluminum panels,stainless steel bar railings for terraces,aluminum storefront system
doors,and a Out aggregate roof.We also described how the modest intentional opposition would
help to integrate the Spanish Colonhrl Revival style bungalows with the contemporary architecture of
On new buildings and additions that were part of the larger proposed project.Finally,we described
how we beloved that this was an appropriate intervention as these two bungalows had seen the
most inappropriate change of the ten in the grouping,as they were substantially altered at some
point in i me—ihe northeast bungalow was altered to become the office and reception area for the
Inn,and the northwest bungalow had a substantial addition to the north.
Since we issued the June 2014 report,the proposed project has been revised so that there are no
longer second-floor addltkms being proposed to the two few(norlhammost)bungalows,in which the
No modified bungalows would then`step-up'to a new five-story L-shaped hotel building.instead,
the massing of the new proposed hotel building is droxotically reduced to two stories over the
garage Ivan",making such a transition rmneoessary.Like the previous proposed design,the revised
proposed design also calls for demolishing those two rear bungalows and rebuilding them,but not as
an addition to the hotel building as previously proposed;additionally,the bungalows will be rebut on
their existing footprints.This treatment Is much simpler than previous plane,and has less of an effect
on the historic integrity of the bungalow court.As slated in the June 2014 report and in the March
2015 memo,these two bungalows are the most substantially altered of the Ian in the grouping,and
the demolition and rebuilding of them on the acme footprint is acceptable.In ou previous report,we
described how Ihey were the most shared of the bungalow grouping as they 8have seen the most
Inappropriate charge,becoming the office and the reception area for the U1n'(p.a).The November
2,2015 plans have opened up the space surrounding these two bungalows,allowing for a
breezeway,between them that leads to the new hotel building to the north.As designed In the
revised proposed project,the building footprint of the Inn will continue to maintain its historic footprint
as a grouping often bungalows.it will provide hotel units In the same location as they were located
historically,while also maintaining the important sense of enclosure and termination to the courtyard
that the two modified bungalows have provided historically.
Additionally,a 1rAW pool and a 12'x12'spa are located In center of the bungalow court We
recomm�errded after the October 15,2015 drawings Mat be perimeter knee enclosing the pool be
removed from the plan,and In Its place there are now steel post faces srourmd each individual
bungalow's patio.This visually opens the space surrounding the pool.making the space more akin
the openness of the courlyo d historically.

Similar to the manner In which the new hotel building relates to the histarkal resources elsewhere on
the she,the contemporary architecture of the new hotel building vA provide Intentional opposition
*am the historical style of the Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow cost,dearly distinguishing the
new from the old.This new south facade of the new hotel building also serves to provide a
contemporary interpretation of the historic footprints of the two bungalows It will replace.This south
facade is also distinguished from other parts of the new hotel by Its stark simptidly,which helps to
accentuate the importance of the historic architecture as the focal polyd of the courtyard setting.The
pod located In the courtyard of the new hotel contains a pool and spa,dearly relecting the historic
bungalow cast. Similarly,the color scheme will be in the new hotel from the historic bungalow court,
but the more stark modem design or the new constriction wig allow for clear diitdentiation from the
new to the aid.
The Existim Stone Arch—Proposed t nation
The June 2014 report described how the existing stone arch appears to have been mK=hy
reconstructed.Nevertheless,k was Identified as a Class 1 Historic Ske in 2010.In that report,we
described how the proposed project would ensure that it was retained In a manner that would
preserve its existing materials by relocating it within the proposed project.Previously,It vas
proposed to be relocated in front of the center of the south alevalion of the east-west arm of the new
fatal building. it is our understanding that in subsequent design iteration,the stone arch was
proposed to be located in the fire pit area,but that this location was not eonsldered as ideal as other
potential locations on the site by the City.
In the revised proposed design dated November 2,2015.the stone arch has been relocated to the
west of Sungalowil5,where the wall abuts The Church property. This new kcation is highly
appropriate as it wik slow rite arch to have a continuing ftundlonal use,not simply existing as a non-
i m dional decorative element on the landscape as It night If located elsewhere on the project ske.
Conformance
As staled above,the proposed project should confirm with the Secretary's Standards.Under CEQA,
effects an historical resources resulting from a project found In conformance with the Secretary of
Um inferior's Standards for RehabMaUan and Guidelines for R4ehatodi7atlon(Secretary's Standards)
are generally considered mitigated to a less then significant level or exempt,as provided in CEQA
Guidelines jj151164.5(b)(3). The Secretary's Standards include four treatments;the appropriate,
ovarardting treatment for this project is rehabliltatlon,which is defined as'the ad or process of
making possible a compatible use for a property through repair.alienations,and additions while
preserving those pardons or features which convey Us historical,cuilural,or archhechral values."$
The rehabilitation standards are:
1. A property vA be used as k was historically or be gtvetn a new use that requires minimal
change to Its distinctive materials,features,spades,and spatial relationships.
2. The historic character of a property wll be retained and preserved. The rernoval of
distinctive materials or alteration of features,spaces,and spatial relationships that
characterize a property will be avoided.
3. Each property witi be recognized as a physical record of Its time,place,and use.
Changes that create a false sense of hlsloricol development,such as adding conjectural
feohnes or elements from other historic properties,will not be undertaken.
4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic sigrilkance in their awn right vAl be
retained and preserved.

5. Distinctive inrelerisls,feahoom.finishes,and construction techniques or examples of
craftsmanship that charactedre a property will be preserved.
6. Deteriorated historic features Will be repWad rather than replaced. Where the severity of
deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature,the new feature will match the
old in design,color,texture,and,where possible,materials. Replacement of missing
features vA be substartilded by documentary and physical evidence.
7. Chemical or physical treatments,Kept: op .will be undertaken using the gentlest
means possible. Treatments that cruse damage to historic materials will not be used.
8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved In place. If such resources
must be disturbed,mitigation manures will be undertaken.
8. New additions,exterior aNeralions,or related new constructiar will not desiray historic
materials,features,and Weld relationships that charsdartze the properly. The new
work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials,
features,size,scale and proportion,and massing to protect the integrity of the property
and its environment.
10. New additions and adjacent or related new corrsWdion will be undertaken in such a
manner that,If removed In the future,the essential form and integrity of the historic
property and Its environment would be unimpaired.
There is currently only one character-dslining feature that is somewhat meted by the proposed
project.This is In respect to the ten existing bungalows that comprise the Orchid Tree Inn,two of
which are proposed to be demolished and rebuilt.One of the idenbW character defining features of
the Orchid Tree inn is currently'Ihe grouping of the cottages around a oenfral courtyard` Another is
'the presence of 10 khdgkhg units.*However,as our previous reporl described,the two northernmost
lurngdow,units are currently the most altered of the grouping, and they will be demolished and
rebuilt on their existing footprints.We do not believe this Is a significant Impact to the property since
the two units wt be rebuilt an their existing footprints.This will ensure both that'Ihe grouping of the
cottages around a central courtyard"and%a presence of 10 lodging locations'is retained.
Conclusion
The November 2.2015 plans,which have been dramalically scaled back and simplified since the
last time that we reviewed plans for the proposed project in June 2014,are in eordomhance with
Secretary's Standards.

RE: Orchid Tree Church Development
David:
The Orchid Tree Church and property has a very direct impact on the St Baristo
Condominiums to the west as the parking area along Cahuilla which is part of the
church property and is directly in front of many of our homeowners. The parking
area abuts the common areas of our community and these spaces were designed
similar to the design of SL Baristo. Additionally,our homeowner association
has been maintaining these parking spaces for over ten years since the
construction of St.Baristo.
The Planning Commission should be aware of the fact that our community has
entered into a written maintenance agreement of said parking space& to our
agreement,Mr.Weintraub has agreed to the following as it relates to these
Spam:
'Developer will maintain the parking areas,pavers,asphalt,curbs,gutters,
concrete,other hard surfaces or similar features of the Maintenance Area(and
street,if required to do so)in a clean and orderly fashion and will undertake its
best efforts to minimize noise and nuisances to HO"homeowners from its use
of such areas. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,Developer will
limit use of Maintenance Area to valet parking,if any,and will not allow the
Maintenance Area to be used for construction related parking,or for deliveries,
or for other non-passenger vehicle parking. Additionally,no bras parking of any
size is allowed."
Our community was pleased when the entire Orchid Tree project was scaled
down to be a remodel of the existing facilities. We have reviewed the revised
plans completed just this week and we are in support of the revised plans in
keeping with the original design and theme of the church buildings.

Reference Palm Springs meeting agenda Oct. 26tb 2015.
1 am an owner of a condominium located at 285 S.Cahullia Road, Palm Springs,which is
part of the St.Baristo condominium complex.
We have been looking at a burnt so-called historic church for 3 years.We have written
letters to the City,have attended planning meetings regarding development of the subject
property by Mr.Wientraub when he was trying to build 104 units without ample parking
and have continued to ask the City as to how long we the owners along Cahuilla and the
Tennis Club neighborhood have to look at this burnt church structure.
We were told the City was working with Mr.Wientraub for the redevelopment of this
property and when approved (told this year)he would be renovating the burnt church.
Now after reading the latest proposal for Mr.Wientraube,this proposal conveniently
leaves out any modifications,improvements'etc to the burnt church.This is unacceptable.
Any re-development of this property must include the renovation of the church and if not
at least the complete demolishment of the existing burnt structure.
Three longyears of looking at this burnt mess across the street is enough.We have been
told a year ago that the city lawyers were working on placing a limit on how long a
structure like this could remain in it's damaged state.

I'm all for renovation and will gladly give my support to the re-development of this
property but it must also include plans for the church renovation.
Please let me know that you acknowledge receipt of this letter and it will be entered into

Re:The Orchard Tree Renovation
Dear Mr. Ready,
We are extremely happy with the revised plans of developer Richard Weintraub for the
renovation of the Orchid Tree Hotel. His new plans are to restore existing buildings and
rebuild ten burned out units along Belardo Road,bringing the total number of units back to
the Formerly existing 56 units.
it appears that the existing codes do not allow for this,but do allow for an appeal to the
Planning Commission. Whatever changes It takes,this renovation is what would not only
restore the Orchid Tree to Its original glary,but take it to a whole new level. Both our
neighborhood and the city at large would greatly benefit from eliminating the present
eyesore.
This also draws attention to the unfriendliness of the present ordinances for historic
preservation by only allowing an unrealistic time frame for rebuilding burned out buildings
and by not allowing any rebuilding of historic properties if more than 50% Is destroyed.
Thus,if a major earthquake or fire would hit our town,our unique character could never be
restored.
We recommend that our ordinances be revised at the earliest possible time to allow for
rebuilding of any historic property regardless of how much has been destroyed,eliminating
any unrealistic time frame,and allowing the existing density and setbacks to be
maintained.
We must also mention that in exercising patience and not tearing down La Serena,we can
look forward to a beautifully restored$6,000,000 project which is now in the planning
stage. Meanwhile,we must do everything in our power to assist and facilitate
Mr.Weintraub,who Is trying to be a public-spirited developer and wishes to do the right
thing for our city.
