proposed historic district designation has been determined to be exempt from the

WHEREAS, the City Council has carefully reviewed and considered all of the
evidence in connection with the designation, including but not limited to the staff report,

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. CEQA. In accordance with the California Public Resources Code,
Division 13, Section 15331, "Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation," the project
has been determined to be categorically exempt from the requirement for the
preparation of environmental documents, as the designation of the property will result in
the preservation and restoration of the complex. The City Council independently
reviewed and considered the criteria for the exemption, and finds, on the basis of the
whole record before it, that the project is hereby exempt from the preparation of
environmental documentation.
SECTION 2. The presentation Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 8.05.160, the
City Council, in evaluating a historic district application, must find that the designation of
the site or district supports or furthers the purpose of the historic preservation
ordinance. As stated in Section 8.05.010, "Purpose and Authority" the Historic
Preservation ordinance is:
"...For the purpose of preserving areas and specific buildings of the
city which reflect elements of its cultural, social, economic, political,
architectural and archaeological history. This chapter is intended to
stabilize and improve buildings, structures or areas which are
considered to be of historical, architectural, archaeological or
ecological value, to foster civic beauty, to strengthen the local
economy and to promote the use of specific buildings for the
education and welfare of the citizens."
The Pompeii De Las Palmas complex (PDLP) reflect elements of the City's
cultural and architectural history as explained in the defining criteria outlined below
including being representative of a particular period in local history and embodying
distinctive characteristics of a building type and architectural style. The proposed
Resolution No. 23797
Page 3
designation of the Pompeii De Las Palmas complex as a historic district is supported
because it imbues aspects of the cultural, social, economic and architectural history and
development of the City. It possesses a high-degree of integrity in terms of its ability to
convey its historic significance in the context of the social and physical development of
Palm Springs and the modern period of architecture for which Palm Springs is well
known. Therefore the proposed historic district designation conforms to the required
finding.
SECTION 3. Pursuant to Municipal Code Chapter 8.05.020 ('Definitions'), in
order for an area within the City to be considered for possible historic district
designation, it must contain a number of structures, natural features or sites that
possess "...historic, architectural, archaeological, cultural or aesthetic significance.".
The City Council finds that the Pompeii De Las Palmas Historic District
possesses a number of structures and features that possess historic, architectural,
cultural and aesthetic significance as defined in the following criteria outlined in PSMC
8.05.020:
Criteria 3 It reflects a particular period of national, state, or local history — that
is, it reflects a significant period of local history in which the
development of modern architecture has come to define Palm
Springs' image and reputation.
Criteria 4 It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a building type, period or
method of construction — that is, the design of the complex is an
excellent example of the small courtyard apartment complex, which
was commonplace in Palm Springs between 1920 and 1965.
SECTION 4. The complex, which began construction in 1964, reflects the mid-
century modern architecture style for which Palm Springs has become internationally
known. The complex was developed at a time when Palm Springs began to develop
international acclaim as a world-class resort.
The complex was constructed on 0.68 acres to the north of the historic Old Las
Palmas neighborhood, and offered a "...most truly elegant group of one-story
villas...[with) lavish surroundings, exquisite decor and deep-rooted comfort..." It
features a total of nine units, including (7) two-bedroom units and (2) one-bedroom
units. No major alternations have been made to the buildings that comprise the district.
The construction of Pompeii De Las Palmas coincides with the building "boom" of
single family tract homes and multi-family residential development that was transforming
Palm Springs in the fifties and sixties from a secret get-away of the rich and famous to a
second-home market for the growing upper middle class in Los Angeles and other
nearby urban centers.
Resolution No. 23797
Page 4
SECTION 5. Boundaries. The boundaries of the historic district are as noted in
the legal description of the common area parcel (APN 505-330-010), totaling
approximately 0.68 acres. The site is bounded by Camino Norte on the south and
Stevens Road on the north; it shares a westerly property line with the parcel identified
as APN 505-185-029, and shares an easterly property line with the parcels identified as
APN 505-182-004 and 505-182-010.
SECTION 6. Contributing Elements.
A. All residential structures within the Pompeii De Las Palmas complex are
recommended to be designated as Contributing Structures and individually treated as
Class 1 historic structures pursuant to Section 8.05.125 of the Palm Springs Municipal
Code.
B. The swimming pool and pool cabana structure are recommended for designation
as Contributing Structures and treated as Class 1 historic structures.
C. The carport structures and complex entryways and doors are recommended to
be designated as Contributing Structures and treated as Class 1 historic structures.
D. The defining historic characteristics or features on the various buildings and
structures are as follows:
1) The strong horizontal roof planes of all buildings and structures on the
site, emphasized by the thin fascia of the roof structure and deep patio
overhangs.
2) Narrow aluminum-frame windows and eight-foot high sliding glass doors
3) Columns based on the Ionic order.
4) Open light wells in the patio roofs, and "swooping" curves of the patio roof
structures.
5) Decorative raised "starburst" details on the Stevens Road courtyard entry
doors.
6) "Framed" wall relief sculptures in the interior courtyard area.
7) Classical statuary as a decorative feature of the courtyard landscape.
8) Turf grass surrounding the pool area, with Italian cypress trees, olive
trees, and bougainvillea vines featured as part of the courtyard
landscaping.
9) The use of single mortar groove concrete block for perimeter and
enclosure walls.
10) "Toothed" or notched fascia detail in the carport roofs.
11) Washed river stones set in concrete at the Stevens Road entrance to the
complex.
SECTION 7. Non-contributing Elements.
A. The driveways and service areas along the Stevens Road and Camino Norte
frontages are recommended to be designated as non-contributing elements.
Resolution No. 23797
Page 5
B. The xeriscape planting areas in the interior courtyard are not original to the
design, and are recommended to be designated as non-contributing elements.
C. Any new or modified privacy walls are recommended to be designated as non-
contributing elements.
SECTION 8. Integrity. The factor of integrity, while not a requirement of the
Municipal Code Findings, is a factor that is considered in applications made to the
National Trust for Historic Places and in certain state historic designations. The report
concludes that the buildings within the proposed Pompeii De Las Palmas historic district
have undergone limited alterations and that virtually all of the character-defining
features survive. Thus, the site retains a high degree of integrity and is qualified for
designation as a historic district.
SECTION 9. The following elements or alterations are ones that the
homeowners association may wish to place on a long term capital improvement list for
possible restoration to further strengthen the authenticity (integrity) of the district.
Where applicable, these items may also be addressed through participation in Mills Act
contracts for the restoration and maintenance of individual units.
A. Camino Norte entrance doors: The Camino Norte doors lack the raised starburst
detail of the Stevens Road doors, and are surrounded by a metal mesh screen. No
documentation is currently available to suggest whether this configuration is original to
the complex; if documentation can be located, the Camino Norte doors should be
restored to their original configuration and condition. Should no documentation be
available to substantiate the original condition of the Camino Norte doors, then no
changes shall be required.
B. Glass block wall (Stevens Road frontage): Glass block has been added to the
perimeter wall at the northwest corner of the property along the Stevens Road frontage,
and is assumed to be a later addition to the property. This front perimeter wall should
be restored to its original configuration, or utilize single-mortar groove block similar to
the original wall construction.
C. Fences and gates: Any new fences and walls should closely match the existing
construction. Avoid the use of fence materials and gate designs that are not compatible
with the era of the complex.
D. Replacement doorstwindows: One of the units has vinyl replacement windows
and doors, instead of the narrow aluminum frames as were original to the complex. Any
future window and door replacements should closely match the original aluminum
frames.
E. Window security shutters: One of the units has an external rolling security
shutter affixed above a courtyard window; as this detracts from the simplicity and clean
Resolution No. 23797
Page 6
lines of the wall surface, it is recommended that any similar security devices be
mounted internally so as to not detract from the architecture of the complex.
F. Screen doors: Establish a standard front screen door style and hardware that is
sympathetic with the architecture of the district, for those unit owners who choose to
have a screen door. Alternately, the HOA may choose to restrict the use of screen
doors so as to maintain a consistent appearance throughout the complex.
G. Exterior light fixtures: Verify the origin of exterior light fixtures, and make sure
any replacement fixtures or new fixtures are compatible with any original light fixtures.
H. Courtyard landscaping: The turf grass, Italian cypress trees, and olive trees are
all essential elements of the courtyard landscaping. While xeriscape plantings have
been instituted adjacent to the buildings, it is critical to maintain the turf and other
original plantings as presently constituted. Replacement of landscape materials should
closely match the original plantings and configuration.
I. Original paint color: Consider scraping or other non-destructive method to
determine the original paint color for the complex.
J. Surface mounted conduit: Avoid the use of surface-mounted conduit in any
future renovations to avoid marring the appearance of walls and fascia details; remove
any existing surface-mounted conduit where possible.
K. External gutters and downspouts: Replace existing `colonial' profile gutters and
downspouts with a design that is more appropriate to the architecture of the buildings.
SECTION 10. Conditions of Approval. Pursuant to the regulations of Municipal
Code Section 8.05, including but not limited to the following:
A. (8.05.125) Contributing structures/sites shall be subject to Class 1 regulations
until such time that they may be reclassified.
B. (8.05.125) Noncontributing structures/sites shall be subject to review by the
HSPB before demolition or construction.
C. (8.05.180) No person may undertake any of the following within or upon a Class
1 historic site without a certificate of approval from the historic site preservation board:
1) Construction of a new structure;
2) The moving, demolition or alteration of an existing structure in any manner
which affects the exterior appearance of the structure;
3) A change in land use which affects the exterior appearance of a structure;
4) The erection, remodeling or replacing of a sign which affects the exterior
appearance of a structure.
Resolution No. 23797
Page 7
D. (8-05.185) A person who desires to construct (including new construction), alter,
move or demolish a structure within or upon a Class 1 historic site or an historic district
shall file an application upon a form prescribed by the city.
E. (8.05.215) No application for the same or similar work may be filed within one
year after the board has rejected it.
F. The property owner shall permit the City to demark the complex as a historic
district with a marker of the City's choosing. The historic marker shall be placed in a
location visible from the public right-of-way. The home-owners association shall
maintain the historic marker in the location installed and pay for the replacement cost if
the marker is damaged, lost, stolen, or otherwise removed from the property.
G. All future exterior modifications including but not limited to contributing structures,
walls, and fences shall require Architectural Approval pursuant to Section 94.04.00 of
the Palm Springs Zoning Ordinance and Historic Site Preservation Board review
pursuant Municipal Code Ordinance 8.05.180.
H. No permit for the alteration of the exterior, including any and all of the defining
elements and characteristics shall be issued without prior approval by the Historic Site
Preservation Board.
1. Upon action on the recommendation by the City Council, the City Clerk shall
submit the Council Resolution to the County recorder for recordation within 90 days of
the effective date of this resolution.
J. Contributing structures may be eligible for execution of a Mills Act Historic
Property Agreement, as approved by the City Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the City
Council designates the Pompeii De Las Palmas condominium complex located at 221
