Ready, City Manager BY: Public Works and Engineering Department SUMMARY The Streets & Highways Code of the State of California requires that the City hold a Public Hearing to discuss and review the vacation and abandonment of developed and actively used public rights-of-way or public service easements. After consideration of testimony received at the Public Hearing, the City Council can consider approval of the requested right-of-way vacation and abandonment of portions of the public right-of-way dedicated for Calle Encilia between Amado Road and Tahquitz Canyon Way, and the public right-of-way dedicated for Andreas Road between Calle Encilia and Calle El Segundo. RECOMMENDATION: 1) Open the public hearing and receive public testimony. 2) Close the public hearing, and adopt Resolution No. "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, VACATING AND ABANDONING ALL OF ITS RIGHT, TITLE AND INTEREST IN PORTIONS OF THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY DEDICATED FOR CALLE ENCILIA BETWEEN AMADO ROAD AND TAHQUITZ CANYON WAY, AND PORTIONS OF THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY DEDICATED FOR ANDREAS ROAD BETWEEN CALLE ENCILIA AND CALLE EL SEGUNDO, IN SECTION 14, TOWNSHIP 4 SOUTH, RANGE 4 EAST, FILE R15-12, AND APPROVING A DETERMINATION THAT THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION PREVIOUSLY APPROVED AND CERTIFIED BY RESOLUTION NO. 18461 ITEMNO. 1.8• City Council Staff Report May 4, 2016 -- Page 2 Calle Encilia I Andreas Road Right-of-Way Vacation REMAINS VALID AND THAT NO FURTHER ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIROMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) IS REQUIRED." BACKGROUND: On November 30, 2015, representatives on behalf of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, (the "Tribe"), submitted an application to the Public Works & Engineering Department requesting that the City consider vacating and abandoning portions of public rights-of-way for Calle Encilia and Andreas Road within Section 14 on the Tribal Reservation, and adjacent to the former Spa Hotel site and the Spa Casino, as shown in Figure 1.

The full width of Andreas Road from Indian Canyon Drive to Calle Encilia was previously vacated by the City to the Tribe in December 1996. The purpose for the right-of-way vacation of these streets is to allow consolidation of the Tribe's properties for future development by the Tribe of a new retail/entertainment/hotel project in and around the former Spa Hotel site and Spa Casino. Although specific development plans for redevelopment of the Spa Hotel site have not yet been identified by the Tribe, the Tribe is requesting that the City Council consider and approve the requested right-of-way vacation such that the Tribe can appropriately identify its project area inclusive of, or excluding, the street rights-of-way. Vacation of Andreas Road and Calle Encilia have been anticipated for over 20 years as part of the Tribe's development of its properties in Section 14, and were identified as part of the overall scope of the "Agua Caliente Indian Gaming Facility," Planned Development District No. 232 ("PDD 232"), approved by the City Council on September 7, 1994, by adoption of Resolution No. 18463. At that time, the Planning Commission recommended and the City Council approved various actions, including a General Plan Amendment to revise the classifications for Andreas Road and Calle Encilia from Secondary Thoroughfare and Collector roadways to facilitate approval of PDD 232, and allowing for the future vacation of Calle Encilia and Andreas Road. In accordance with the City Council's approval of PDD 232, Calle Encilia and Andreas Road were anticipated to be vacated to accommodate development of the Gaming Facility; a copy of Resolution No. 18463 approving PDD 232 is included as Attachment 1. At that same time, the former Community Redevelopment Agency for the City of Palm Springs ("RDA") and the Tribe entered into a Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA") that also identified vacation of these two City streets. Section 9.6 "Vacation of Streets" of the original DDA stated: The City agrees to initiate proceedings to vacate the City's interest in those portions of Calle Encilia and Andreas Road, more particularly described in the Scope of Development. Attachment No. 3 "Scope of Development" of the original DDA identified Section VI "Vacation of Public Streets", and stated: Development of the Project will require the vacation of Andreas Road between Indian Canyon Drive and Calle El Segundo, and the vacation of Calle Encilia between Tahquitz Canyon Way and Amado Road, and was identified on Exhibit 7 of the original DDA shown here as Figure 2. 03 City Council Staff Report May 4, 2016-- Page 4 Calle Encilia/Andreas Road Right-of-Way Vacation 0 1N w < O O 2 > J Z Q Q O w � AMAOO ROAD - ll I < ��I < tI w� Pl[zz NK• j I PaY lPNwu - VV t (j II CoaooNuxaN U i COnv[NTION C[YI{N m IIt I I'l ANDREA6 I _ IROAD1 ._._------- .__ 'I I I wit {P�N{or[c I • �uo.:��<II ( wrwwuN e � Mww[MIYNeP � f]I' _I NOv[la1 Ni{eNf Z TANOUITZ CANYON WAY < a0000 � LEGEND ?^ SLseta b W Vacmed ———— P-l'"B."ary ..--..— sii { ll u Sheol Vacalions/Evislinq Utility EasemaMs N a..�M4rvNv w ti nxe�alHx1 Figure 2 Subsequently, on August 7, 1996, the CRA and Tribe approved Amendment No. 1 to the DDA, which among other things revised Section 9.6 of the DDA to state: Agency shall formally request the City to initiate proceedings to vacate the Vacated Streets-Phase l within the time specified in the Schedule of Performance. Developer acknowledges that vacation of public streets by the City is a discretionary legislative function subject to adherence to legally mandated procedures including public hearings, and thus any election to actually vacate the Vacated Streets-Phase I by the City shall be in City's sole and absolute discretion. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to constitute commitment by Agency or City to actually vacate the Vacated Streets-Phase 1. Attachment No. 3B of Amendment No. 1 to the DDA identified the proposed vacated streets (Phase 1) identified as that part of Andreas Road between Indian Canyon Drive and Calle Encilia, shown here as Figure 3. Attachment No. 3C of Amendment No. 1 to the DDA identified the proposed vacated streets (Phase 11) identified as Andreas Road between Calle Encilia and Calle El Segundo, and Calle Encilia between Amado Road and Tahquitz Canyon Way, shown here as Figure 4. 04 City Council Staff Report May 4. 2016 -- Page S Calle Encilia/Andreas Road Right-of-Way Vacation L—:-- l9 ..

Although this segment of Andreas Road exists and has remained open to public use, control of this street was transferred to the Tribe to facilitate the development of the Gaming Facility envisioned by PD 232. Subsequently, the CRA and Tribe approved Amendment No. 3 to the DDA, which among other things revised Section 9.6 of the DDA (once previously amended by Amendment No. 1 to the DDA) to state: Agency shall formally request the City to initiate proceedings to vacate the Vacated Streets within the time specified in the Schedule of Performance. Developer acknowledges that vacation of public streets by the City is a discretionary legislative function subject to adherence to legally mandated procedures including public hearings, and thus any election to actually vacate the Vacated Streets 11 by the City shall be in City's sole and absolute discretion. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to constitute commitment by Agency or City to actually vacate the Vacated Streets. Exhibit A of Amendment No. 3 to the DDA identified the proposed Vacated Streets (Phase ll) identified as Andreas Road between Calle Encilia and Calle El Segundo, and Calle Encilia between Amado Road and north of Tahquitz Canyon Way, shown on the next page as Figure 5. Attachment No. 2 "Scope of Development" of Amendment No. 3 to the DDA identified Section III "Vacation of Public Streets", and stated: The Development contemplates that the City will approve the vacation of Vacated Streets. If approved by the City, vacation of these streets will be subject to reservation of public utility easements for all easement facilities currently located beneath the streets. Amendment No. 3 to the DDA facilitated the Tribe's development of the existing Spa Casino site. Although dissolution of the CRA by the state effectively terminated the DDA, the historical reference and background to the DDA as amended is provided in this staff report to demonstrate that the City has previously considered and conceptually approved vacating these streets in order to facilitate the Tribe's anticipated master planned development of their properties in Section 14. 06 City Council Staff Report May 4, 2016-- Page 7 Calle Encilia/Andreas Road Right-of-Way Vacation I I c00arb SM0310172.10 1 1.61 � 508032004 i t�s'1 � � � c{ $08031018 I . 0.0 pRp a 0.78 9e I 362 E° n IUD � 530 ono � L 00070 1011 31011 50803= 50�35073 5.0.42 I ,r 508057026 41 505042010 5000420053 5D8011011 o41oD5 1.88 1.7, + \ 50OD51055 .15 r7 o° 508051051 1.77 t00t 8 3 20 SM41002 020 W042008 105D{2008 'E 073 030 1.8D 1.71 SOBD51088 SOO7 5OW41013 2W 0.51 m 508055008 1,44 $ 4.10 50805500 S08053003 S080540D3 $d+ 8 88 6.34 1.55 12D l9DDD56003 5D8055008 ' .

The Land Use Element section of the General Plan designates Residential High Density Land use within Section 14 and allows 43 hotel rooms per acre. A portion of 126 Acres of Mixed Use Central Business District falls within Section 14. Land Use Action Item 7.1 (Pg. 2-29) reads, in part, "...to ensure that new development in Section 14 contributes to and enhances the City's goal of a destination resort." The Circulation Element of the General Plan (Pg. 4-34) identifies a goal to encourage pedestrian facilities to "...create a critical lifeline between the retail shops Downtown and the City's resort amenities such as the Convention Center, casino, and hotels." Circulation Element Action Goal CR3.1 reads, "Develop a transit route (bus,jeep, jitney, shuttle) to circulate people between...hotels...key activity centers...and Downtown- oriented residential areas to reduce traffic and parking congestion in the Downtown." Most of the policy goals and action items to the Air Quality Element section of the General Plan (Pgs. 7-13 & 7-14) are associated with reduction of vehicular traffic and encouragement of pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and bikeways. The currently adopted Circulation Element of the General Plan identifies Andreas Road between Indian Canyon Drive and Calle Alvarado, and Calle Encilia between Amado Road and Tahquitz Canyon Way, as local streets, as shown in the Circulation Element Map included on the following page as Figure 6. . . 0B City Council Staff Report May 4, 2016 -- Page 9 Calle Encilia/Andreas Road Right-of-Way Vacation 1 6 .c 2 AL At a < L AL m C� R Figure 6 (Note, local streets are shown as non-colored [gray] lines). In July 2014 the City Council approved the update to the Section 14 Specific Plan, and Figure 5-7 of the Specific Plan identifies the roadway classifications of streets within Section 14, included on the following page as Figure 7. 09 City Council Staff Report -.-.

Further, the California Streets and Highways Code Section 8313(a) requires that "If the proposed vacation of a street, highway, or public service easement is within an area for which a general plan is adopted by a local agency, the legislative body of the public entity shall consider the general plan prior to vacating the street, highway, or public service easement." Accordingly, on March 9, 2016, the City's Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval of the proposed right-of-way vacation, finding that the streets are identified as local streets on the City's 2007 General Plan and Section 14 Specific Plan, and that their vacation and abandonment would not conflict with these Plans. A copy of Planning Commission Resolution No. 6560 is included as Attachment 2. Future Development Plan for the Vacated Streets Although the Tribe has not released its conceptual plans for redevelopment of the area, the Tribe has provided a letter to the City, dated January 19, 2016, that upon vacating these streets the Tribe commits to maintaining these streets open for vehicular traffic to maintain access to those properties that require them, (namely the US Post Office and the Hilton Hotel). A copy of the Tribe's letter is included as Attachment 3. Also, as there are multiple public utilities extending throughout Calle Encilia and Andreas Road, including domestic water lines owned by Desert Water Agency and sanitary sewer lines owned by the City, physical access over these streets must be maintained such that operation and maintenance of these utilities can continue. Thus, although the City Council may consider and approve of the abandonment and vacation of the public rights-of-way, reverting control of these public streets to the Tribe, the City Council's action reserves an easement for public utilities which reserves rights for the City and other utility owners to continue accessing these public streets for continued operation and maintenance of these utilities. The Tribe has provided a conceptual plan showing how reconstruction of Andreas Road and Calle Encilia is envisioned to provide continued two-way access on Calle Encilia from Tahquitz Canyon Way to the main entrance of the Hilton Hotel, with one-way northbound access maintained up to Andreas Road, and one-way eastbound access maintained from Calle Encilia to Calle El Segundo around the Hilton Hotel as shown in Attachment 4. The physical closure and reconstruction of these streets is not proposed at this time; the City Council is not approving the conversion of these streets, which will be subject to future review and approval by the City at the time the Tribe submits development plans for its properties. 11 City Council Staff Report May 4, 2016-- Page 12 Calle Encilia /Andreas Road Right-of-Way Vacation PUBLIC NOTICING: Section 8320 of the California Streets and Highways Code, (the "Code"), allowed the City Clerk to administratively schedule a public hearing for the City Council's consideration of the requested right-of-way vacation. Section 8322 of the Code requires that notice of the public hearing be published for at least two successive weeks prior to the public hearing; public notice was published accordingly in the Desert Sun. Further, Section 8323 of the Code requires that at least two weeks prior to the public hearing, notices of the requested right-of-way vacation be posted conspicuously along the line of the street proposed to be vacated (at least 3 notices, not more than 300 feet apart); the notices were posted along Calle Encilia and Andreas Road in accordance with the law. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: In August 1994, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, ("CEQA"), the City Council completed an environmental assessment of the potential environmental impacts resulting from approval for the Agua Caliente Indian Gaming Facility, identified as Case 5.0667 GPA/ZTA/PD-232, which included discussion and analysis of the future vacation of streets adjacent to the gaming facility (Calle Encilia from Amado Road to Tahquitz Canyon Way and Andreas Road from Indian Canyon Drive to Calle El Segundo); a public review period of the environmental assessment was held from August 1 to August 30, 1994. On September 7, 1994, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 18461, certifying the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Agua Caliente Indian Gaming Facility, (the "MIND"), which considered and included mitigation of potential environmental impacts associated with the future right-of-way vacation of Calle Encilia and Andreas Road. A copy of Resolution No. 18461 is included as Attachment 5. The preparation of further environment documentation is not necessary because none of the circumstances triggering further environmental review have occurred since the adoption of the MIND: (i) there are no substantial changes in the project requiring major revisions of the MIND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the previously-identified significant effects; (ii) there are no substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken which will require major revisions of the MIND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously-identified effects; and (iii) there is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the MIND was adopted showing that: (a) the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the MND; (b) significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the MIND; (c) mitigation measures previously found not feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the mitigation measures have not been adopted; or (d) mitigation measures considerably different from those analyzed in the MIND would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the mitigation measures have not 12 City Council Staff Report May 4, 2016 -- Page 13 Calle Encilia/Andreas Road Right-of-Way Vacation been adopted. Accordingly, no further environmental review is required. (Public Resources Code § 21166; Cal. Code Regulations, Title 14, § 15162.) FISCAL IMPACT: At the time the subject portions of Calle Encilia and Andreas Road are closed to public access, all costs associated with removal and reconstruction of existing utilities and street improvements will be the responsibility of the Tribe. Upon approval of the right-of- way vacation, control of the public streets will transfer to the Tribe, including obligation for their continued operation and maintenance. All costs associated with maintaining these public streets will transfer to the Tribe. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that, after considering public testimony given at the public hearing, that the City Council consider and adopt a Resolution vacating and abandoning the full width of Calle Encilia from Amado Road to Andreas Road, the west half of Calle Encilia from Andreas Road to Tahquitz Canyon Way, and the north half of Andreas Road from Calle Encilia to Calle El Segundo. A Resolution has been included as Attachment 6, which will reserve an easement for public utility purposes over the vacated streets, reserving access to the City and other utility owners for continued operation and maintenance of their utilities located within the vacated streets.

THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: Pursuant to CEQA, the City Council finds as follows: a. The final Mitigated Negative Declaration has been completed in compliance with CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines and the City's CEQA procedures. The City Council has independently reviewed and considered the information contained in the Environmental Assessment/Mitigated Negative Declaration and finds that it adequately discusses the potential significant environmental effects of the proposed project (land use, traffic/circulation, parking, air quality, noise, aesthetics, geology/soils, water quality, drainage, public utilities, socioeconomic, public safety, archaeological/historic resources and light and glare) , and that on the basis of the Environmental Assessment and comments received during the public review process, there will be no adverse environmental effects as a result of the approval of the project because mitigation measures identified in the Environmental Assessment/Mitigated Negative! Declaration have ' been incorporated into the project which mitigate any potential significant environmental effects to point acceptable within the community. The mitigation measures are adopted in the Conditions of Approval of this project as outlined in Exhibit A (as on file in the Office of the City Clerk) of this Resolution.. The City Council further finds that the Environmental Assessment/Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects its independent judgement. 1 /q I r,A, 16 Res 16463 Pg 3 b. The Mitigation Monitoring Program is in compliance with Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 and is required in order to assure compliance with the above referenced mitigation measures during project implementation. These mitigation measures are referenced in the Conditions of Approval of this project as outlined in Exhibit A (as on file in the Office of the City Clerk) of this Resolution. c- Pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4, this project has a de minimis impact on fish and wildlife. Section 2: Pursuant to Section 9403.00 of the Zoning Ordinance, the City Council finds that: a. The use applied for at the location set forth in the application are properly ones for which a Planned Development is authorized by the City's Zoning Ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance, with the approval of a Planned Development District, allows for an Indian gaming facility on trust lands of the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation - Tribal lands only. The proposed gaming facility will be appropriately located such that it will complement the surrounding hotels, convention center and commercial element of the downtown area. The proposed gaming facility will be located in proximity to two high-density condominium complexes; required conditions and mitigation measures regarding landscaping, grading and building design, will ensure that any visual impact is minimized, such that the location is appropriate for the development of the Indian gaming facility. b. The proposed gaming facility is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is in harmony with the various ' elements or objectives of the General Plan and is not detrimental to existing uses or to future uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the gaming facility is to be located. The proposed gaming facility is in harmony with the goals and objectives of the General Plan such that it will be located in an area designated Resort Commercial. The gaming facility will promote Resort Commercial objectives and policies by providing entertainment for this resort oriented area in which the gaming facility will be located; additionally, the gaming facility is to be located in proximity to the convention center, resort hotels and commercial uses, adding to the General Plan Objective 3.23 regarding the "establishment of a unique district which capitalizes on the presence of the Palm Springs Convention Center. . . " The gaming facility will also further General Plan objectives by strengthening the pedestrian linkage to the downtown area by use of such elements as creative landscaping, decorative paving and street lighting and by creating tourism enhancing development. With the proposed mitigation measures the use will not be detrimental to existing uses as stated in these findings, and will enhance surrounding property and promote the development of resort uses within the zone, consistent with the goals of the General Plan. c. The site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, including yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping and other features required in order to adjust said use to those existing or permitted future uses of land in the neighborhood. The site is an appropriate one for the proposed use, however, flexibility with regard to certain development standards is being requested. The gaming facility proposal includes encroachment into required setbacks, the reduction of the required landscape percentage and light standards measuring higher than the maximum 17 Res 18463 Pg 4 height set forth in the Zoning Ordinance. Calle Encilia and Andreas Road adjacent to the gaming facility are proposed to be vacated; when this occurs, the gaming facility will not encroach into required setbacks nor rights-of-way. However, until such time, encroachment permits will be issued to permit the facility, including portions of the building, the parking structure, landscape planters, light fixtures, parking spaces and the porte cochere to encroach into the rights-of-way. ' The gaming facility building and parking structure will he conditioned to maintain a 1:1 setback along Calls E1 Segundo. Setbacks along Amado will be reduced to a minimum of 20 feet along a portion of Amado; however, this elevation is not directly adjacent to or across the street from any existing residential development and will entail appropriate landscaping to create a buffer for this reduced setback. The light fixtures will be required to be no greater than 18 feet high as per a mitigation measure within the Environmental Assessment along Calls E1 Segundo since condominiums are located across the street along Calle El Segundo. The light fixtures have been proposed at a maximum height of 30 feet in other areas not fronting along Calle El Segundo such that they will not negatively impact sensitive land uses; a mitigation measure is also included which requires a lighting plan for the purpose of additional analysis and possibly additional requirements regarding light spillage toward the condominiums and the Hilton Hotel. Additionally, a condition will require all light fixtures to be no higher than 18 feet, with the possibility to increase the height from 22 to 24 feet upon the review of a detailed lighting plan. If developed with these restrictions, the use of the site as a gaming facility will be appropriately adjusted so that impacts on existing and future uses of surrounding property will be minimized and not ' adverse. d. That the site for the proposed use relates to the streets and highways properly designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be generated by the proposed use. A traffic study was prepared for this project which indicates the circulation system is currently designed so that the proposed project can be accommodated. The gaming facility will operate 24 hours per day and will create traffic patterns which differ from the normal commuter hours; traffic will be spread out throughout the day and evening. A mitigation measure will require the potential contribution for the future improvement of Alejo Road. The Environmental Assessment concludes that no intersections will be degraded below level of service E by the project. e. That the conditions to be imposed as contained in Exhibit A and shown on the approved site plan are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare including any minor modifications to the zone's property development standards.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, VACATING AND ABANDONING ALL OF ITS RIGHT, TITLE AND INTEREST IN PORTIONS OF THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY DEDICATED FOR CALLE ENCILIA BETWEEN AMADO ROAD AND TAHQUITZ CANYON WAY, AND PORTIONS OF THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY DEDICATED FOR ANDREAS ROAD BETWEEN CALLE ENCILIA AND CALLE EL SEGUNDO, IN SECTION 14, TOWNSHIP 4 SOUTH, RANGE 4 EAST, FILE R15-12, AND APPROVING A DETERMINATION THAT THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION PREVIOUSLY APPROVED AND CERTIFIED BY RESOLUTION NO. 18461 REMAINS VALID AND THAT NO FURTHER ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIROMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) IS REQUIRED. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS FINDS AND DETERMINES: A. The City Council of the City of Palm Springs, California, is authorized by Chapter 3, Part 3, Division 9 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California (the "statute'), to vacate and close to public use right-of-way dedicated for public streets, or parts thereof, within the limits of the City. B. Pursuant to Section 8320 of the statute, the City Clerk administratively set a public hearing for May 4, 2016, for City Council consideration of vacating and closing to public use portions of the public right-of-way dedicated for Calle Encilia between Amado Road and Tahquitz Canyon Way, and a portion of the public right-of-way dedicated for Andreas Road between Calle Encilia and Calle El Segundo. C. The City Clerk did cause to be published a notice of the public hearing, and did cause to be posted notices of vacation along the line of the subject public rights-of-way, as required by the statute. D. In accordance with Section 8313 of the statute, and California Government Code Section 65402, the proposed vacation and abandonment of portions of the public right- of-way dedicated for Calle Encilia between Amado Road and Tahquitz Canyon Way, and a portion of the public right-of-way dedicated for Andreas Road between Calle Encilia and Calle El Segundo. E. On March 9, 2016, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Springs adopted Resolution No. 6560 determining that the proposed vacation and abandonment of portions of the public right-of-way dedicated for Calle Encilia between Amado Road and Tahquitz Canyon Way, and a portion of the public right-of-way dedicated for Andreas Road between Calle Encilia and Calle El Segundo, was in conformance with the Palm Springs General Plan. 64 Resolution No. Page 2 F. The City Council did hold a public hearing as required by the statute, and has considered all evidence submitted concerning the portions of the public right-of-way dedicated for Calle Encilia between Amado Road and Tahquitz Canyon Way, and the portion of the public right-of-way dedicated for Andreas Road between Calle Encilia and Calle El Segundo, being the vacated areas described on Exhibit "A" and shown on Exhibit "B", attached hereto and made a part hereof, and the need therefore for present and prospective public use. G. In August 1994, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, ("CEQA"), the City Council completed an environmental assessment of the potential environmental impacts resulting from approval for the Agua Caliente Indian Gaming Facility, identified as Case 5.0667 GPA/ZTA/PD-232, which included discussion and analysis of the future vacation of streets adjacent to the gaming facility (Calle Encilia from Amado Road to Tahquitz Canyon Way and Andreas Road from Indian Canyon Drive to Calle El Segundo); a public review period of the environmental assessment was held from August 1 to August 30, 1994. On September 7, 1994, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 18461, certifying the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Agua Caliente Indian Gaming Facility, (the "MND"), which considered and included mitigation of potential environmental impacts associated with the future right-of-way vacation of Calle Encilia and Andreas Road. H. The preparation of further environment documentation is not necessary because none of the circumstances triggering further environmental review have occurred since the adoption of the MND: (i) there are no substantial changes in the project requiring major revisions of the MND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the previously-identified significant effects; (ii) there are no substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken which will require major revisions of the MND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously-identified effects; and (iii) there is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the MND was adopted showing that: (a) the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the MND; (b) significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the MND; (c) mitigation measures previously found not feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the mitigation measures have not been adopted; or (d) mitigation measures considerably different from those analyzed in the MND would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the mitigation measures have not been adopted. Accordingly, no further environmental review is required. (Public Resources Code § 21166; Cal. Code Regulations, Title 14, § 15162.) THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The above findings are all true and correct. 65 Resolution No. Page 3 Section 2. The City Council does hereby find that the portions of the public right-of- way dedicated for Calle Encilia between Amado Road and Tahquitz Canyon Way, and a portion of the public right-of-way dedicated for Andreas Road between Calle Encilia and Calle El Segundo, are unnecessary for present or prospective public use. Section 3. Subject to Section 4, the City Council does hereby vacate and abandon all the City's right, title and interest in the portions of the public right-of-way dedicated for Calle Encilia between Amado Road and Tahquitz Canyon Way, and a portion of the public right-of-way dedicated for Andreas Road between Calle Encilia and Calle El Segundo, as described and shown on Exhibits "A" and "B", attached hereto and made a part hereof.

Access over the vacated area shall be provided to the City and other utility owners as necessary for continued operation and maintenance of existing utilities, until such time as those utilities are removed or relocated as may be approved by the utility owner thereof. Section 5.

Tahquitz Canyon Way Palm Springs, California 92262 Re: Casino Hotel Project— Downtown Palm Springs Dear Members of the Council and City Manager; This office represents the Hilton Hotel, with respect to the casino / hotel project being developed by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians on land directly across the street and contiguous to the Hilton Hotel. Representatives of the Tribe have been in contact with us, relative to their development plan. With the information we have been given, we have been assessing the impacts to the Hotel, especially as they relate to street closures and potential traffic and access issues. We understand that the Tribe will be making a presentation to the City Council at tonight's city council meeting, and we suspect, in future meetings to discuss the specifics of the project, and the Tribe's request to vacate certain roadways in front of and surrounding the Hotel. At this juncture, we have not seen the full schematic of the development plan, but it is our intention to work with both the Tribe and the City of Palm Springs to ameliorate, as much as possible, any negative impacts to the Hilton Hotel property and business. In that regard, we would only request the City withhold any kind of formal approval on vacation of public streets in the immediate area until such time as the Hilton can reach agreement with the Tribe on appropriate mitigation with respect to traffic SLOVAK BARON EMPEY MURPHY & PINKNEY LLP 1800 E.Tahquilz Canyon Way 650 Town Center Drive,Ste.1400 103 Carnage Center Blvd,Ste.300 22405th Avenue Palm Springs,Califomia 92262 Costa Mesa,California 92626 PnnWon,New Jersey 08540 San Diego,CalRomia 92101 Tel (760)322-2275•Fax(760)322-2107 Tel.(714)435-9592•Fax(714)850-9011 Tel.(609)95 93•Fax(609)520-8731 Tel (619)SDI 4540 www,sbemp.com Palm Springs City Council May 4, 2016 Page 2 flows, vehicular access, proper signage near surrounding streets and drop off points in an effort to ensure that the visitors and patrons to the Hilton Hotel are not overly inconvenienced or unable to easily access the Hilton Hotel property. Based upon our prior discussions, we are very confident that solutions will be reached with the Tribe, but we simply want to advise the Counsel that there are some issues that need to be resolved and the Hilton Hotel will need that time to negotiate and come to a workable resolution on those issues with the tribe.
