Nei hborhoodfVleeffit` None Although no neighborhood meeting was held, the HOA discussed the matter at their annual meeting on March 1, 2014, and has provided documentation from seven of the nine property owners supporting the Historic District nomination. BACKGROUND AND SETTING The Pompeii De Las Palmas complex is a nine-unit condominium complex located on W. Stevens Road. The complex includes carports and an entryway on the Stevens Road frontage; the entry leads to a landscaped courtyard area with all nine units clustered around the courtyard. At the center of the courtyard is a swimming pool and pool cabana structure. A second entryway and carports are located on the Camino Norte frontage. The complex is one story in height, and features flat roofs, stucco exteriors, wood siding in the carport areas, aluminum-framed windows and sliding glass doors, Ionic columns, and classically-inspired statuary and wall-relief sculptures in the courtyard area. Construction on the complex began in 1964, and the project was developed by Des-Pro, Inc. The building permit indicates that Rosalind Lewis was the contractor for the development; no architect is listed on the building permit application, nor has the applicant been able to document the designer of the complex. The property had been purchased from John Munholland, who owned a local real estate company; John's wife, " 02 City Council Staff Report April 1, 2015 Case HSPB-91/HD 4 Application for Historic District Page 3 of 10 Julia Munholland, had originally purchased the property in 1959. The developer defaulted on the construction loan in April 1965; the property reverted to the lender, Investors' Savings and Loan Association, in September 1965. Originally developed as apartments, the property was converted to condominiums with the filing of a condominium map in August 1969, and all nine units were sold by July 1970. A review of the building permit history indicates that no major construction has occurred on the site since its development in the 1960's, leaving the design of the buildings largely intact. No photos or documentation have been provided to identify the original paint color(s) or landscape scheme for the property. The property owners have indicated that some of the turf in the courtyard has been replaced with xeriscape plantings adjacent to the buildings, but much of the courtyard landscaping remains as originally designed. Minor improvements have occurred to the property, such as the replacement of windows and doors and repair of mechanical systems, but no significant alterations have been made. ANALYSIS Historic preservation activities in the City of Palm Springs are regulated under Municipal Code Section 8.05 ("Historic Preservation"). Section 8.05 identifies the definitions, criteria, and process for historic designations; a discussion of the merits of the application relative to code requirements is included below. Historic District Definition The Pompeii De Las Palmas complex is being considered for designation as an Historic District. Section 8.05.020(b) of the Municipal Code provides the definition of a historic district as follows: (b) Historic District. Any area of the city of Palm Springs containing a number of structures, natural features or sites having historic, architectural archaeological, cultural or aesthetic significance and designated as an historic district under the provisions of this chapter. The subject property is a condominium complex that consists of three principal buildings: The east building, containing six residential units; the northwest building, containing two residential units; and the southwest building, containing one residential unit. The site also includes covered carport areas and a pool cabana building. As there are multiple structures on the site, the complex may be considered for designation as an historic district. It has been the practice in the City of Palm Springs to designate condominium complexes as historic districts, rather than sites or buildings, as was done with the Royal Hawaiian Estates Condominiums (HSPB 73/HD2) and the Racquet Club Cottages West Condominiums (HSPB 88/HD3). Historic District Boundaries 03 City Council Staff Report April 1,2015 Case HSPB-91/HD 4 Application for Historic District Page 4 of 10 The boundaries of the Pompeii De Las Palmas Historic District are proposed to be coterminous with the condominium map and all associated sub-parcels, as identified below: ID Assessor Parcel Number Address 7 505-330-001 221 W. Stevens Road 6 505-330-002 223 W. Stevens Road 5 505-330-003 225 W. Stevens Road 4 505-330-004 227 W.

Stevens Road 10 505-330-010 Common Areas HOA PROPOSED HISTORIC DISTRICT BOUNDARIES Historic Site Designation Criteria The City Council is authorized to designate historic sites and districts upon a recommendation from the Historic Site Preservation Board. When the Historic Site Preservation Board determines that Class 1 historic designation of a certain site or district would further the purpose of the Historic Preservation Ordinance, the Board may initiate studies, surveys and investigations it deems necessary to adequately gather information in consideration of such a recommendation to the City Council. The seven criteria listed below, as specified in Section 8.05.020(a) of the Municipal Code, are used in determining suitability for historic designation: 04 City Council Staff Report April 1, 2015 Case HSPB-91/HD 4 Application for Historic District Page 5 of 10 1. That is associated with events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state or community; or 2. That is associated with lives of persons who made meaningful contribution to national, state or local history, or 3. That reflects or exemplifies a particular period of the national, state or local history; or 4. That embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction; or 5. That presents the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect whose individual genius influenced his age; or that possesses high artistic value; or 6. That represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or 7. That has yielded or may be likely to yield information important to national, state or local history or prehistory. In reviewing the submitted application, the property presents the strongest case for inclusion under Criteria #3 and #4, as discussed below: 3. That reflects or exemplifies a particular period of the national, state or local history; As identified in the application, the development is representative of the Modern Period in local history, and the complex is a fine example of modernist architecture for which Palm Springs is known. The complex possesses the characteristic features of the style, including the following: • Horizontal massing; • Simple geometric forms; • Flat roof structures with wide, overhanging eaves and cantilevered canopies; • Unadorned wall surfaces; and • Flush-mounted metal frame windows and doors. While the buildings are definitely rooted in the modern aesthetic, there is an additional layer of complexity to the form and configuration of the complex that warrants consideration. This is particularly manifest in the interior courtyard, where the irregular angles of the buildings and the semi- elliptical shapes of the patio roof structures help to define a series of sub- spaces within the larger courtyard boundaries. There is also a subtle layering of the planar roof forms, which is expressed at the north and south entries to the courtyard, as well as at certain unit entries. This additional level of detail takes the complex beyond its modernist roots, and is suggestive of architectural trends that would surface in the late 1970's with the post-modernist movement. 05 City Council Staff Report April 1, 2015 Case HSPB-91/HD 4 Application for Historic District Page 6 of 10 4. That embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction; The complex possesses distinctive characteristics of both the architectural period and local building typology. Relative to the architecture, the structures are strongly modernist in form and in most of the construction details as noted above, but include columns based on the Ionic order and classical decorative details. This variation of modernism that combined modern form with classical decoration was not uncommon in the early 1960's, and can still be seen locally in other structures and developments in Palm Springs, such as the Villa Roma condominiums and numerous single-family residential dwellings. This subcategory of modernism is referred to as "Roman Revival" in the application, and shares some features in common with the "Regency Revival" or "Hollywood Regency" style. The complex is also representative of a building typology common in Palm Springs, which is the small courtyard apartment complex. The typology is typically manifest by the following elements: Bay parking adjacent to the street, a gated courtyard with a swimming pool as the focus, and residential units clustered around the central courtyard area. While the layout of the Pompeii De Las Palmas complex is somewhat unique due to its unusual lot shape, it maintains the same basic relationship of elements that are common to the typology. The application lists a number of similar courtyard properties still in existence in the area, built between 1947 and 1965. The subject property is highly representative of the courtyard apartment complex typology as found in Palm Springs. Contributing, Non-Contributing, and Defining Historic Characteristics or Elements The physical character-defining features of this site include the following: 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. N 09 City Council Staff Report April 1, 2015 Case HSPB-91/HD 4 Application for Historic District Page 7 of 10 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. The contributing elements of the complex are recommended as follows: 1. 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. 2. The swimming pool and pool cabana structure are recommended for designation as Contributing Structures and treated as Class 1 historic structures. 3. The carport structures and complex entryways and doors are recommended to be designated as Contributing Structures and treated as Class 1 historic structures. The non-contributing elements are recommended as follows: 1. The driveways and service areas along the Stevens Road and Camino Norte frontages are recommended to be designated as non-contributing elements. 2. The xeriscape planting areas in the interior courtyard are not original to the design, and are recommended to be designated as non-contributing elements. 3. Any new or modified privacy walls are recommended to be designated as non-contributing elements. In conducting a site visit, staff noted that while entire complex remains remarkably unaltered, there are a number of minor elements or alterations that the applicant may wish to place on a long-term capital improvement list for possible restoration. While none of these elements seriously impairs the integrity of the complex, restoration will assist in the returning the complex to its original state. • 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. • 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. City Council Staff Report April 1,2015 Case HSPB-91/HD 4 Application for Historic District Page S of 10 • 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. • 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. • 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 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. • 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. • 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. • 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. • Original paint color: Consider scraping or other non-destructive method to determine the original paint color for the complex. • 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. • External gutters and downspouts: Replace existing 'colonial' profile gutters and downspouts with a design that is more appropriate to the architecture of the buildings. REQUIRED FINDINGS In considering a recommendation for Class 1 historic designation, pursuant to Municipal Code Section 8.05.160, the Board and the City Council shall find that the purposes of the Historic Preservation chapter are furthered by designation of such property as a historic site or district. The purpose of the Historic Preservation chapter of the Municipal Code is outlined in PSMC 8.05.010: This chapter is adopted pursuant to the authority of (California) Government Code Section 37361 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 03 City Council Staff Report April 1,2015 Case HSPB-91/HD 4 Application for Historic District Page 9 of 10 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. As identified in the nomination report and discussed in the analysis above, the Pompeii De Las Palmas complex strongly exemplifies the period of modernist design in the city of Palm Springs, and also embodies the distinctive local characteristics of the small courtyard apartment complexes. Its distinctive use of classical elements makes it a somewhat unique variation of the modern idiom, and the lack of modifications to the original structures has left the character of the complex largely intact. Staff finds that the application meets the criteria listed in Section 8.05.020(a), and that designation of the complex will further the purpose of the historic preservation ordinance. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Section 21084 of the California Public Resources Code requires Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The Guidelines are required to include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which are exempt from the provisions of CEQA. In response to that mandate, the Secretary for Resources identified classes of projects that do not have a significant effect on the environment, and are declared to be categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents. In accordance with Section 15331, "Historical Resources Restoration/Rehabilitation," the preservation of historic properties is considered categorically exempt from CEQA. NOTIFICATION Pursuant to section 8.05.140 of the Municipal Code of Palm Springs, all property owners within five hundred (500) feet of the subject property have been notified and notice was made in a newspaper of general circulation. As of the writing of this report, staff has not received any inquiries on this matter. a=;= F ` " Flinn Fagg, AICP Marcus L. Fuller, MPA, P.E., P.L.S.

WHEREAS, Chapter 8.05 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code (PSMC) allows for the designation of historic sites and districts; and WHEREAS, the Pompeii De Las Palmas Homeowners Association in conjunction with the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation (PSPF) filed an application with the City for Historic District designation of the Pompeii De Las Palmas condominium complex pursuant to PSMC Chapter 8.05; and WHEREAS, a historic resources report ("the Report") dated January 2015 was prepared and presented to the Historic Site Preservation Board (HSPB) pursuant to PSMC 8.05.135, along with the application for designation of the Pompeii De Las Palmas complex as a historic district; and WHEREAS, in March 2015, members of the HSPB conducted guided site inspections of the proposed historic district; and WHEREAS, seven of the nine unit owners within the Pompeii De Las Palmas condominium complex have submitted letters in support of the proposed historic district designation; and WHEREAS, on March 10, 2015, the HSPB conducted a public hearing in accordance with applicable law to consider designation of the Pompeii De Las Palmas complex as a historic district; and WHEREAS, at said hearing, the HSPB carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence in connection with the designation, including but not limited to the staff report, application and historical research, and all written and oral testimony presented and voted unanimously to recommend approval by the City Council of the Pompeii De Las Palmas complex as Historic District #4; and WHEREAS, notice of a public hearing of the City Council of the City of Palm Springs to consider designation of the Pompeii De Las Palmas complex was issued in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, on April 1, 2015, the City Council conducted a public hearing in accordance with applicable law to consider designation of the Pompeii De Las Palmas complex as a historic district; and � 1 Resolution No. Page 2 WHEREAS, the designation of the Pompeii De Las Palmas complex as a historic district will promote the sensitive preservation of said site; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed historic district designation has been determined to be exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents in accordance with California Public Resources Code Division 13, Section 15331, "Historical Resources Restoration/Rehabilitation," as the designation will result in the preservation of the resource; and 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, application and historical research, and all written and oral testimony presented. 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 12 Resolution No. Page 3 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 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 d6cor 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 13 Resolution No. Page 4 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. 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. 14 Resolution No. Page 5 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. 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. 15 Resolution No. Page 6 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 doors/windows: 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 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. Resolution No. Page 7 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.

(Ord. 1140 § 1, 1981) END OF CONDITIONS 3113H a31ll3SNI 39 Ol S31nNIW SdSH idviia RESOLUTION NO. 91 OF THE HISTORIC SITE PRESERVATION BOARD OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL DESIGNATE THE POMPEII DE LAS PALMAS CONDOMINIUM COMPLEX, LOCATED AT 221 — 231 W. STEVENS ROAD AND 200 — 206 CAMINO NORTE AS HISTORIC DISTRICT #4, CASE HSPB 91, (COMMON AREA APN #505-330- 010). WHEREAS, Chapter 8.05 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code allows for the designation of historic sites and districts; and WHEREAS, the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation (PSPF) and the Pompeii De Las Palmas Homeowners Association (PDLP) filed an application with the City for Historic District Designation of the Pompeii De Las Palmas condominium complex (PDLP) pursuant to PSMC Chapter 8.05; and WHEREAS, a historic resources report ("the Report") dated January 2015 was prepared and presented to the HSPB pursuant to PSMC 8.05.135, along with the application for designation of the Pompeii De Las Palmas complex as a historic district, and WHEREAS, in March 2015, members of the Historic Site Preservation Board (HSPB) conducted guided site inspections of the proposed historic district, and WHEREAS, a significant number of unit owners within the PDLP condominium association have submitted letters in support of the proposed historic district designation, and WHEREAS, notice of a public hearing of the Historic Site Preservation Board of the City of Palm Springs to consider designation of the Pompeii De Las Palmas complex was issued in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, on March 10, 2015, the HSPB conducted a public hearing in accordance with applicable law to consider designation of the Pompeii De Las Palmas complex as a historic district; and WHEREAS, the designation of the Pompeii De Las Palmas complex as a historic district will promote the sensitive preservation of said site; and WHEREAS, the Historic Site Preservation Board has carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence in connection with the designation, including but not limited to the staff report, application and historical research, and all written and oral testimony presented. THE HISTORIC SITE PRESERVATION BOARD HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS: 27 Section 1. 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 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 2. 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 HSPB 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 3. The complex, which began construction in 1964, reflects the mid-century modern architecture style for which Palm Springs has become internationally known. The complex Page 2 of 6 28 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. Section 4: 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 an easterly property line with the parcel identified as APN 505-185-029, and shares a westerly property line with the parcels identified as APN 505-182-004 and 505-182-010. Section 5: 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 sliding glass doors. 3. Columns based on the Ionic order. 4. Open light wells in the patio roofs. 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 and olive trees 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. Page 3 of 6 29 11.Washed river stones set in concrete at the Stevens Road entrance to the complex. Section 6: 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. 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 7: 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 8: 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. 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. 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 doors/windows: 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 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. Page 4 of 6 30 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. 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 9: Conditions of Approval Pursuant to the regulations of Municipal Code Section 8.05, including but not limited to the following: 1. (8.05.125) Contributing structures/sites shall be subject to Class 1 regulations until such time that they may be reclassified. 2.

Starting in 2008, PSPF has actively lobbied local governments throughout the Coachella Valley to support the creation of historic districts in accordance with their local ordinances. However, due to the foundation's limited resources, PSPF can only support efforts to create historic districts if there is strong homeowner interest and enthusiasm for such an undertaking. On March 24, 2014 PSPF was notified by a representative of the Pompeii de Las Palmas Homeowners Association that during their annual meeting (on March 1, 2014) the Pompeii de Las Palmas Homeowners Association had voted unanimously to pursue the historic district designation of their condominium complex. On May 22, 2014 PSPF was provided with various documents of owner support indicating that more than two-thirds of the Pompeii de Las Palmas owners supported pursuing historic district status. Copies of these documents (and the photographic survey of the PDLP complex) have been provided to the city's Director of Planning Services on a separate compact disk. HSPB 01.01.15 3 36 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SIGNIFICANCE: Pompeii de Las Palmas (PDLP), built in 1964, is a nine-unit property in the historic Old Las Palmas neighborhood. Originally constructed as apartments, the complex converted to condominiums in 1969. The complex is significant for two reasons: it is an intact example of a specific "building type' and it exhibits numerous stylistic markers that place it in Palm Springs' modern period. Regarding its significance as a specific building type, the PDLP complex is an excellent example of the "small" seasonal rental property or hotel/apartment. The construction of that particular building type was popular in Palm Springs from about 1920 until 1965. ("Small" is defined in this nomination as 25 units or less). In recent decades, many fine examples of this building type have been demolished. The PDLP is a highly-intact example of this historically important building type. Also, the PDLP complex is a fine example of the significant modernist architecture for which Palm Springs is internationally known and should be viewed as a component of the historic trends that define the city's image as a center of important midcentury architecture (i.e., an historic trend that exemplifies "a particular period of the national, state or local history"). DESIGNATION CRITERIA: The PDLP complex has not previously been evaluated for historic district eligibility. A brief summary of the evaluation contained in this nomination is as follows: 8.05.020 (a) paragraph 1 - Events: This criterion recognizes properties associated with events or "patterns of events" or historic trends. In this nomination, there are two patterns of events: the rise in popularity of a particular building type and the rise of Palm Springs' prominence in midcentury architectural excellence. The PDLP complex is an outstanding example of both a historic building type and the construction of buildings within the context of midcentury desert modernism. The PDLP complex is associated with both these patterns of events, and is associated as well with Criterion 3 for its ability to exemplify a particular period of the national, state or local history. Therefore, the complex qualifies for listing as a Historic District under Criterion 1. 8.05.020 (a) paragraphs 3 & 4 - Design/Construction: The PDLP complex is eligible both as a fine example of a historically important building type and is eligible under the theme of Modern architecture because it possesses numerous distinctive characteristics of the modernist style, including flat roofs, expansive amounts of glass, etc. For its distinctive characteristics and for its high artistic values, the PDLP complex qualifies as a Historic District under Criteria 3 & 4. SUMMARY: This evaluation finds the PDLP complex eligible for listing as a Palm Springs Historic District under 8.05.020 (a) paragraphs 1, 3 & 4 of the local ordinance's seven criteria (criteria 6 is deemed as inapplicable as the various buildings in the PDLP complex possess "individual distinction"). Additionally, the buildings in the district retain a high degree of architectural integrity.

Statement of Significance History The early history of the Pompeii de Las Palmas (PDLP) condominiums was both eventful and complex. The site of the complex (actually two separate parcels that would later be consolidated) was acquired by Julia T. Munholland (nee: Julia T. Kuhn) in 1959 and upon her death it became part of her estate. The executor of her estate was John G. Munholland (her husband); the attorney for the estate was James Munholland (assumed to be a relative). The estate's Los Angeles Superior Court probate petition (heard on November 12, 1963) referenced the parcels as a bequest of the deceased to John G. Munholland. (Note: At the time of these transactions, John G. Munholland was the principal of Munholland & Co., a real estate company located at 1059 North Palm Canyon. Interestingly, the 1965 telephone directory identifies John G. Munholland's home address as 322 Camino Norte (just a few houses west of the PDLP complex)). Established 1903 F 1059 N.PALM CANYOM •, _: QSPGs3b71 OR 5043 A MULTIPLE LISTING OFFICE Advertisement for Munholland&Co. Realtors in the 1956 Palm Springs area telephone directory Additional information concerning John G. Munholland is contained in Appendix V which excerpts portions of the 1964 issue of Palm Springs Personages. On February 24, 1964 John G. Munholland sold the parcels to Des-Pro, Inc., a California corporation. On May 12, 1964 Palm Springs city building permit #136849 was issued to Des-Pro, Inc. for the construction of "9 apartment units, Frame & Stucco, Compo[sition] roof." The complex, named "Pompeii de Las Palmas," comprises a total RSPB 01.01.15 9 42 of 10,600 square feet of living space and 990 square feet of carport space. The permit was issued as an owner-builder permit with the total value of the construction estimated at $185,000. The original permit lists "Rosalind Lewis, 190 E. Palm Canyon, Palm Springs Calif." as the contractor. (Note: Des-Pro, Inc. is shown as "Des Pro, Inc' in the white pages of the 1965 Palm Springs telephone directory oddly with no phone number but a home address of 200 Camino Norte, a unit within the PDLP complex. Additional information about Des-Pro, Inc. proved difficult to find and was deemed of marginal value to this nomination). On April 30, 1965 the developer Des-Pro, Inc. was first notified by the lender that it was in default on the construction loan and the property would be sold on the courthouse steps on September 22, 1965 if the developer did not cure the default. The amount due the lender at the time of the scheduled trustee's sale was $186,009.07. The developer did not cure the default and there were no buyers at the trustee's sale. As a result, the property reverted to the lender, "Investors Savings and Loan Association," on September 22, 1965. The title documents confirm Investors Savings and Loan still held the property when the Condominium Plan was filed on August 8, 1969 and they continued to own the property exclusively until the first four units (1, 2, 5, & 6)were sold on November 13, 1969. _,A^ Famed 134 Tre TS We Must Confess cis° That we believe that we have one of the three Iwo most truly elegant groups of one story villas in the clu City of Palm Springs. ve If you, your ra)atives, ar fh friends are accustomed in for unaccustomed) to al lavish surroundings, inu exquisite decor and deep roofed comfort, we're 1co 94 smug9ly rodent yauYl Ili be delighted with what Ithe you find. ice! 4 PC�MPEtI FE !

Local Construction History and Context. This nomination focuses on the area west of North Palm Canyon Drive and east of North Monte Vista Drive and bounded by West Alejo Road to the south and West Vista Chino to the north. Among other things, this neighborhood acts as a transition buffer from North Palm Canyon Drive to the larger homes and estates nestled further west against the mountains. While the construction of this building type (i.e., the "small" seasonal rental property or hotel/apartment) was popular in Palm Springs from about 1920 to about 1965, this building type did not become established in the PDLP neighborhood until after the end of WWII. This was caused largely because vacant land in the Tennis Club neighborhood (south of the Desert Inn), and the area immediately adjacent to the El Mirador Hotel, had become less available. Hence, the neighborhood in which PDLP was constructed became a viable building location that could address the continuing need for vacation rentals. At least 20 of these smaller rental properties or hotel/apartments were built in this area and many are still intact and in operation in some form or another. Appendix III lists some of these properties by address and provides an interesting historical context. The 1964 construction of the PDLP complex was one of the last of this once popular building type. With the opening of tribal land to long-term leases (a result of the passage of the Equalization Act of September 21, 1959) the scale of local building was quickly transformed. "Built as Condominiums" residential complexes grew in number starting in the early 1960's and included complexes in the south of Palm Springs, specifically Tribal Land Section #26 (the Canyon Country Club area), Section #30 (Seven Lakes Country Club area) and Section #24 (the Mesquite Country Club area). These larger development tracts attracted first-rate architects and developers and proved far more profitable and economically viable than the smaller hotel. More importantly, with larger floor plans and air-conditioning they offered the possibility of year-long occupancy. The construction of the Pompeii de Las Palmas complex was on the cusp of this economic and "lifestyle" shift. Though initially intended as seasonal rentals for visitors to Palm Springs the PDLP complex was soon converted to condominiums. This conversion is consistent with the 1960s trend that was occurring throughout the Palm Springs area, the state of California and the nation. E. National Context. The concept of a condominium (where the ownership of a building or property is a shared entity) is a relatively modern phenomenon, although communal living is not. The first "condominium" was built in the United States in 1960 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The concept quickly grew in popularity. F. Miscellany. The city of Palm Springs job record card for PDLP (which records the inspections approved during construction) originally specified "206 Camino Norte" as the job address. The typed address has been crossed off and "221 W Stevens" is handwritten next to it. HSPB 01.01.15 11 44 The Architecture The Pompeii de Las Palmas complex is designed in a "Roman Revival" style. That said, the Roman Revival styling is only an overlay superimposed over a skillfully articulated modernist building. Roman Revival architecture of the mid-1960s, though short-lived, was considered the pinnacle of "chic." The architectural style was seen as very forward-thinking and extended beyond the world of architecture into fashion and interior design as well. In 1963, the year before construction of the PDLP complex, the Roman Revival style was introduced to south Palm Springs with the construction of the 69-unit Villa Roma condominiums (located at Sierra Madre Drive and Avenida Granada). Villa Roma was "designed and planned" by James Schuler Associates of Garden Grove, California though, again, there is no indication this firm was involved with the PDLP complex. In chronicling the history of the Villa Roma complex, PSPF's journal The Architecture of Desert Leisure makes the following observation: The quirky design of Villa Roma...was no accident. The 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome were broadcast to the world on television and Italian films like Fellini's La Dolce Vita(1960) were being watched by the American middle-class. Suddenly Americans were enamored with all things Italian...[housing]developers quickly tapped into that fascination. Also in Palm Springs, in the adjacent Little Tuscany neighborhood, a home designed by architect James Naughton was underway. Naughton was a well-known designer of modernist homes using the Roman Revival motif (though designed in the same architectural style, there is no evidence that Naughton designed the PDLP complex). Nearby, in Los Angeles, the mid-1960s saw the construction of Mt. Olympus, a hillside subdivision in the Hollywood Hills area of the city. The 406 single-family residences of Mt. Olympus are designed in the Roman Revival style and feature Roman fountains, statuary, columns and Italian Cypress hedges. Similarly, Hollywood motion picture studios tried to capitalize on America's new fascination with Italy by casting Italian actors like Sophia Loren, Rossano Brazzi, Gina Lollobrigida, and Virna Lisi to star in American films. In 1964, the year that the PDLP complex broke ground, the films Marriage Italian Style and The Fall of the Roman Empire both received Oscar nominations. Just a few years earlier, Hollywood studios had success with films like Rome Adventure, Come September, and The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone which were shot primarily on location in Italy. The low slung stucco structures that make up the PDLP complex are modulated with horizontal "eyebrows' or overhangs. Eyebrows are logically placed over doorways and windows. These horizontal elements are pleasingly in contrast to the vertical lines of the exposed structural columns which are wrapped in an Ionic cladding. The Stevens Road facade (the main entry) is a deft exercise in minimalism. A concrete and pebble path leads the pedestrian to a pair of entry doors that act as the welcoming element on the street facade of the complex (see Appendix IV, figures 1 and 3). The entry doors are located in an open portico which is located asymmetrically within a wall of five street-facing carports. The roof over the entry is raised in emphasis of its purpose as a "welcoming" element and virtually floats over the lower carport roofs. The carport street roofline notches back at the Ionic columns to emphasize the vertical structural element HSPB 01.01.15 12 45 (see Appendix IV, figure 3). The floor of the entry path from the street is gray concrete seeded in black river rock, the carports are paved in gray concrete. The PDLP units are made up of seven 2-bedroom units and two 1-bedroom units. There are a total of five different floor plans. Eight-foot tall sliding glass doors allow in an abundance of natural light. Throughout the entirety of the PDLP complex the exterior facades are surprisingly intact with little or no compromise. The buildings and site of the PDLP complex retain a high degree of integrity (see detailed Integrity Analysis). (Note: The exterior facades of the PDLP complex display a level of design expertise that "possesses high artistic value" which could arguably qualify under criteria 8.05.020 (a) paragraph 5 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code. However, that assertion is not made in this nomination for two reasons. (1) because an architect for the complex cannot be identified it cannot be placed contextually within any architect or designer's professional oeuvre, and (2) the more enduring relevance of the PDLP complex is in its importance as a historic, but vanishing, building type.) Site Description Location. The Pompeii de Las Palmas complex is bounded by West Stevens Road to the north, Camino Norte to the south, a residential parcel to the west and a parcel containing an abandoned city water reservoir to the east. A listing of current mailing addresses and individual assessor parcel numbers is provided at Appendix II. i x e ems.: v x . r nee '. sm 4 ` Pompeii cle Las Palmas h kY ..r Pim Aerial view of Pompeii de Las Palmas complex(oriented north) HSPB 01.01.15 13 46 Reaching all the way back to 19th century British planner Ebenezer Howard's Garden City, architects (and skilled designers) have attempted to combine the best of city and rural life to create a utopian environment. The designer of the PDLP complex succeeds by creating an environment free from cars (a popular symbol of urban distress) by siting all vehicular roads and carports on the perimeter of the complex. As such, the PDLP units front onto a green Roman courtyard and pool free of the street and the automobile. Landscape Architecture The Roman Revival style continues throughout the PDLP complex in the design of the landscaping and a true oasis has been created within the courtyard. The lush and elegant courtyard gardens are of a formal design and include an oval pool, slender Italian cypress trees and covered loggia set in a lawn. Roman Revival statuary can be found throughout the complex. A covered outdoor space adjacent to the pool is an integrated element in the overall design of the PDLP complex. A meandering concrete sidewalk connects each unit and serves as the pedestrian street within the PDLP complex. See Appendix IV for Photographic Documentation of Buildings and Site. HISTORIC CONTEXT To qualify as a Palm Springs Historic District, the contributing structures must be significant; that is, they must represent a significant part of the history, architecture, or archeology of an area and they must have the characteristics that make them a good representative of properties associated with that aspect of the past. The significance of an historic district can be properly understood when it is evaluated within its historic context. Historic contexts are those patterns or trends in history by which a specific district is understood and its meaning (and ultimately its significance) within history is made clear. In order to decide whether a district's contributing properties are significant within their historic context, it must be determined which facet of history the district represents; the significance of that facet of history; whether the subject district has relevance in illustrating the historic context; how the district illustrates that history; and an analysis of the physical features the contributing properties in the district possess to determine if they convey the aspect or history with which they are associ- ated. If the subject district represents an important aspect of the area's history (under any of the seven criteria recognized by the Municipal Code) and possesses the requisite quality of integrity, then it qualifies as a historic district. BACKGROUND/ HISTORIC CONTEXT The relatively short history of Palm Springs can be organized into three more or less distinct periods that include Prehistory, the Settlement Period, and the Modern Period. It is within the context of the last period that this building will be evaluated. Modern Period (1925-1960s): This period can be considered to have begun with the construction of the area's first "modern" structure, Rudolph Schindler's Paul and Betty Popenoe Cabin in 1922. With this building the area's predominant architectural style, HSPB 01.01.15 14 47 which was based on well-established Mexican and Spanish Colonial motifs, began to change. Incorporation of the town of Palm Springs followed in 1938. During the post- WWII era, Palm Springs' economy prospered through tourism. Hollywood celebrities discovered the desert oasis and patronized its hotels, inns, nightclubs and restaurants; celebrity-seeking tourists soon followed, transforming Palm Springs from a sleepy village into an increasingly cosmopolitan environment that saw the construction of schools, hospitals, an airport and other important public works projects. The commercial core along Palm Canyon Drive (originally Main Street) flourished. In the 1950s the downtown core was expanded by the construction of the cross-axis of Tahquitz-McCallum Way that extended from the center of the original settlement to the airport, spurring new development along the way. Early private residential development also expanded into new sub-divisions composed of midcentury modern second homes in the flat lands surrounding the town's original core. Palm Springs' Hollywood associations certainly imparted an air of sophistication to the city. By 1964, the city had built a reputation for cutting edge architecture as a result of local architectural practitioners like John Porter Clark, Albert Frey, E. Stewart Williams, William F. Cody and Donald Wexler. EVALUATION: Criterion 1: Significant Event (Completed because Criterion i is marked above) To qualify for listing under this criterion, a property must be associated with one or more events important in the defined historic context. Criterion 1 recognizes properties associated with events or patterns of events or historic trends, such as the gradual rise of the city's prominence in architectural excellence in midcentury modern architecture that is an important pattern of events within this associated context. In this regard, there are two patterns of events: the rise in popularity of a particular building type and the rise of Palm Springs' prominence in midcentury architectural excellence. The PDLP complex is an outstanding example of a historic building type (specifically, the "small" seasonal rental property or hotel/apartment) which slowly gained prominence from about 1920 to 1965. Additionally, the PDLP complex is an outstanding example of multi-family residential design and construction of buildings within the context of midcentury desert Modernism. The PDLP complex is associated with this pattern of events for its ability to exemplify both the rise of a specific building type and the modern period of the national, state and local history. Therefore, the contributing properties within the district qualify for listing as a Historic District under Criterion 1. ARCHITECTURE (Criteria 3 —6) Criterion 3: (That reflects or exemplifies a particular ep riod of the national, state or local history.) The buildings of the PDLP historic district represent a specific building-type and exhibit stylistic markers which place them directly in the historic context of Palm Springs' Modern Period. Though one of the city's lesser-known condominium complexes, the HSPB 01.01.15 15 48 PDLP complex is a prime and largely intact example of a particular building-type and the significant modernist architecture for which Palm Springs is widely known. As such the contributing properties in the district may be viewed as an important component of the historic trends that have come to define Palm Springs' image as a vacation resort destination and the center of important midcentury architecture, i.e., an historic trend that exemplifies a particular period of the national, state or local history. The contributing properties within the district qualify for listing as a Historic District on the local registry under Criterion 3. Criterion 4: (That embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction; or) Type, Period, and Method of Construction: "Type, period, or method of construction" refers to the way certain properties are related to one another by cultural tradition or function, by dates of construction or style, or by choice or availability of materials and technology. To be eligible under this Criterion, a property must clearly illustrate, through "distinctive characteristics" a pattern of features common to a particular class of resources. "Distinctive characteristics" are the physical features or traits that commonly recur in individual types, periods, or methods of construction. To be eligible, a property must clearly contain enough of those characteristics to be considered a true representative of a particular type, period, or method of construction. Characteristics can be expressed in terms such as form, proportion, structure, plan, style, or materials. The contributing properties in the district are eligible under this criterion as they represent a fine example of a particular building-type (specifically, the "small" seasonal rental property or hotel/apartment) that slowly established itself in the resort community of Palm Springs from about 1920-1965. The PDLP complex's buildings also qualify under the theme of Modern architecture because they possess distinctive characteristics that make up the many qualities of the style, such as overall horizontality, expression of structure, flat roofs, expansive amounts of glass, use of inexpensive, machine produced materials, masonry, etc. The contributing properties in the district are eligible because, in total, they represent an important example of building practices in Palm Springs from 1920-1965 and at "midcentury." The contributing properties in the district qualify as a Historic District on the local registry under Criterion 4. Criterion 6: (That represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction). This Criterion was created to address the resources contained within a potential historic district. However, because the buildings in the proposed historic district do possess individual distinction and could qualify individually as Class 1 Historic Sites under the previous criteria, Criterion 6 does not apply. Hence. the PDLP complex does not qualify under Criterion 6. ARCHEOLOGY Criterion 7: (That has yielded or may be likely to yield information important to the national, state or local history or prehistory.) The PDLP complex does not qualify for listing on the local registry under Criterion 7. HSPB 01.01.15 16 49 7. Integrity Analysis (using U.S. Secretary of Interior Standards) INTEGRITY Integrity is the ability of a property to convey its significance. To be listed in the local registry, a property must not only be shown to be significant under the criteria, but it also must have integrity. The evaluation of integrity is sometimes a subjective judgment, but it must always be grounded in an understanding of a property's physical features and how they relate to its significance. Historic properties either retain integrity (that is, convey their significance) or they do not. The definition of integrity includes seven aspects or qualities. To retain historic integrity a property will always possess several, and usually most, of the aspects. The retention of specific aspects of integrity is paramount for a property to convey its significance. Determining which of these aspects are most important to a particular property requires knowing why, where, and when the property is significant. The following sections define the seven aspects and explain how they combine to produce integrity. LOCATION Location is the place where an historic property was constructed or the place where an historic event occurred. The relationship between the property and its location is often important to understanding why the property was created or why something happened. The actual location of a historic property, complemented by its setting, is particularly important in recapturing the sense of historic events and persons. Except in rare cases, the relationship between a property and its historic associations is destroyed if the property is moved. The PDLP complex remains in its original location and therefore fully meets this criterion. DESIGN Design is the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property. It results from conscious decisions made during the original conception and planning of a property and applies to activities as diverse as community planning, engineering, architecture, and landscape architecture. Design includes such elements as organization of space, proportion, scale, technology, ornamentation, and materials. A property's design reflects historic functions and technologies as well as aesthetics. It includes such considerations as the structural system; massing; arrangement of spaces; pattern of fenestration; textures and colors of surface materials; type, amount, and style of ornamental detailing. The essential characteristics of form, plan, space, structure, and style have survived intact in the PDLP complex. Similarly, the structural system; massing; arrangement of spaces; pattern of fenestration; and the type, amount, and style of detailing, have all survived intact. HSPB 01.01.15 17 90 SETTING Setting is the physical environment of a historic property. Whereas location refers to the specific place where a property was built or an event occurred, setting refers to the character of the place in which the property played its historical role. It involves how, not just where, the property is situated and its relationship to surrounding features and open space. Setting often reflects the basic physical conditions under which a property was built and the functions it was intended to serve. In addition, the way in which a property is positioned in its environment can reflect the designer's concept of nature and aesthetic preferences. The setting of the PDLP complex continues to reflect the architect or designer's original design relationship of site and structure. All original elements of the PDLP complex are intact and in place as originally designed. MATERIALS Materials are the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property. The choice and combination of materials reveals the preferences of those who created the property and indicate the availability of particular types of materials and technologies. The PDLP complex exhibits a high level of design in part due to the choice of materials and adornments. A sophisticated effect is accomplished within the cohesive and striking combination of materials. Although a few vinyl replacement windows have been installed in the PDLP complex, the review process that will accompany historic designation should curtail future unsympathetic changes and create a framework to reverse those that currently exist. WORKMANSHIP Workmanship is the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory. It is the evidence of artisans' labor and skill in constructing or altering a building, structure, object, or site. Workmanship can apply to the property as a whole or to its individual components. It can be expressed in vernacular methods of construction and plain finishes or in highly sophisticated configurations and ornamental detailing. It can be based on common traditions or innovative period techniques. Workmanship is important because it can furnish evidence of the technology of a craft, illustrate the aesthetic principles of a historic or prehistoric period, and reveal individual, local, regional, or national applications of both technological practices and aesthetic principles. Examples of workmanship in historic buildings include tooling, carving, painting, graining, turning, and joinery. The workmanship of the PDLP complex represents a high level of design expression. The PDLP complex also reaches a high level of construction standards that can be expected to be associated with an "upscale" seasonal resort facility. Therefore, the property continues to express a high degree of contemporary period workmanship. HSPB 01.01.15 18 511 FEELING Feeling is a property's expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time. It results from the presence of physical features that, taken together, convey the property's historic character. For example, a rural historic district retaining original design, materials, workmanship, and setting will relate the feeling of agricultural life in the 19th century. When constructed, the PDLP complex catered to the aspiring upper middle class. As such the "feeling" of the buildings necessarily had to exude urbanity albeit it in a more informal resort location. The mid-1960s were a sophisticated, forward-looking and optimistic time, a feeling still expressed in the design of the complex. Accordingly, the PDLP complex retains the integrity of feeling. ASSOCIATION Association is the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property. A property retains association if it is the place where the event or activity occurred and is sufficiently intact to convey that relationship to an observer. Like feeling, association requires the presence of physical features that convey a property's historic character. For example, a Revolutionary War battlefield whose natural and man-made elements have remained intact since the 181h century will retain its quality of association with the battle. Because feeling and association depend on individual perceptions, their retention alone is never sufficient to support eligibility of a property for the National Register. Despite being converted from rental units into a full-year residential development, the PDLP complex is an important example of a small, midcentury seasonal vacation rental in Palm Springs. Accordingly, it continues its association with a pattern of events that have made a meaningful contribution to the community. INTEGRITY SUMMARY: The PDLP complex appears to be in excellent condition partially due to the use of construction materials suitable for the harsh desert environment. This integrity analysis confirms that the buildings and site of the PDLP complex still possess all seven aspects of integrity. While the buildings have undergone very minor alterations since construction, all of the character-defining features survive as originally designed. The buildings and site retain a high degree of integrity sufficient to qualify them for designation as an historic district. 8.

HSPB 01.01.15 31 64 Appendix VI: Note from Mr. Ad Bass Regarding the PDLP Complex "[The PDLP]...complex holds a ton of lifelong memories for my mom, brother and me — which I'd like to articulate for you. My grandparents bought the [PDLP] unit around 1967. My mom used to take us frequently, and my grandparents took us as well. We used to keep sleds at the place so in the winter [so] we could go up to the Tram and play in the snow. We obviously witnessed the sad decline of the [Palm Springs] area and [PDLP] property as development expanded to Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert and La Quinta. We did talk about selling the place and trading [it] for a different PS location; however, we never gave up on the old school allure and sexiness of the Las Palmas area. I recently visited for the first time in about 5 years; I brought my mom, wife, and 3 girls. Truthfully, I got very emotional when I saw how great the complex looked. So many great memories rushed back into my mind — without the pool fence and with the new landscaping it looks terrific. The first time I was able to dive to the bottom of a pool was there; one of the first times I rode a bike without training wheels was on Camino Norte. We spent countless Thanksgivings, Passovers and Easters at Pompeii de Las Palmas; the complex provides a great place for an Easter Egg hunt. One of the truly special experiences of my recent, yet very brief, visit was walking as a family to breakfast and dinner on Palm Canyon. The last time I did that was well over THIRTY years ago — I am 44 now. We are thrilled the HOA is reviving the complex, just as the neighborhood is also being revived. Sincerely, Ari Bass Orange County (Note: Ari's mother, Dori, still owns a PDLP unit. She inherited it from her father who purchased the unit when it was first offered for sale). HSPB 01.01.15 32 65 May 22, 2014 Erik Rosenow, President Palm Springs Preservation Foundation RE: Class 1 Historic Designation, Pompeii de Las Palmas Dear Mr. Rosenow, Our complex is only nine units. Seven of the homeowners responded in writing, affirming their support for the nomination. One homeowner, Tony Gutierrez, gave me his verbal support but did not respond in writing (he works full time and has three children). One last homeowner has neither voiced support nor opposition to the nomination; it is unlikely she will do either. I want to thank PSPF for their willingness to assist us in this process. I have already explained to the homeowners that it could take up to a year to complete. In the interim, please let me know if there is anything you need. Sincerely, /R ert J.
