PALM',PRIN65 VCOERN COMMITTEE 14 January,2014 The Honorable Steve Pougnet,Mayor of Palm Springs City of Palm Springs 3200 East Taquitz Canyon Way Palm Springs,CA 92262 Dear Mayor Pougnet, I am writing you today to heartily endorse item 4A on the council Agenda for January 15th. We at the Palm Springs Modem Committee realize that there are many important and architecturally significant buildings that were designed and constructed after 1960. In as much as a significant contributor to the city's tourist revenue is derived from architecture and design driven visitors and given that it is an important goal of ours to protect and pass on our cultural heritage via our special architecture,the Palm Springs Modem Committee recommends that you adopt this time extension to afford the same degree of protection and review to buildings done between 1960 and 1969 as those created between 1945 and 1960. Also on the agenda is item 1D,which would establish an exemption for class one historic sites with respect to parking requirements for new uses. The board of the Palm Springs Modem Committee also heartily endorses this important item. Class One Historic structures are,by their nature and age,challenged to meet today's codes. We strongly believe that relief from the parking requirement for these important buildings will help make them more attractive to developers and owners by helping to overcome some of the difficulties that these structures can present when being renovated and repurposed for todays use.

Tahquitz Canyon Way Palm Springs, CA 92262 RE: PSMC Chapter 8.05 Dear Mayor Pougnet The Board of Directors of Modernism Week has voted to support The City of Palm Springs Historic Site Preservation Board's recommendation to amend and update PSMC Chapter 8.05. As an organization that celebrates the architectural heritage of Palm Springs, Modernism Week agrees that the additional oversight for architecturally significant mid-century buildings is important. Modernism Week 2014 is poised to break attendance records again, with enthusiasts from all around the world coming to see and celebrate the important treasury of architecture we are so fortunate to have. The economic benefit to the City from Modernism Week continues to grow and this amendment is critical to the continued success of Modernism Week and the City of Palm Springs. Please vote in favor of this amendment.

FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager BY: Margo Wheeler, AICP, Director of Planning Services SUMMARY At its meeting of December 4, 2013, the City Council requested a discussion item be placed on a meeting agenda and requested additional information from staff which is included herein. RECOMMENDATION: Review and give staff direction. PREVIOUS ACTIONS: RebW Relavanf Acdons 11-12-13 The Historic Site Preservation Board (HSPB) voted unanimously to support the proposed text amendment. 11-13-13 The Planning Commission & Historic Site Preservation Board, at a joint study session reviewed the proposed text amendment and expressed their support for the proposed text amendment. 12-4-13 A member of the City Council requested staff place this item for discussion. STAFF ANALYSIS: As explained at the December 4, 2013 City Council meeting, the proposed text amendment to Chapter 8.05.125 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code (PSMC) would change the definition of Class 3 historic sites from buildings built prior to 1945 to buildings built prior to 1969, in recognition of the importance of the collection of mid- century buildings that still exist, for which Palm Springs is becoming increasingly known. ITEM NO. City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 3 Case 5.1311 Municipal Code Text Amendment Section 8.05 Class 3 historic sites January 15, 2014 The council asked for clarification of the status of the 200 properties listed in the 2004 Citywide Historic Resources Survey, commissioned by Architectural Resources Group, Inc (ARG) and clarification on what constitutes a demolition action that would trigger HSPB review of Class 3 sites. The 2004 Historic Resources Survey. As noted in the attached October 20, 2004 City Council staff report, the 2004 ARG survey was intended to be the foundation of a citywide database of historic resources in Palm Springs and "...is used for informational purposes only."' Two hundred buildings were identified, although many more historically significant sites exist in the City 2. For example, recently almost ninety (90) buildings designed by architect Hugh Kaptur were discovered in the Desert Park Estates neighborhood alone. The Planning Department also has historic resource data from previous surveys conducted in 1983, 1987 and 2001 that are being consolidated into one comprehensive historic resource database as time permits. Currently the City's Comprehensive Historic Resource Database includes over 700 properties. The buildings listed in the 2004 ARG survey and the City's Comprehensive Historic Resource Database have no special status and are not subject to HSPB review prior to approval of demolition requests3. Currently, demolition requests on any building built after 1945 are ministerial actions approved at staff level. Staff has no legal authority to apply formal consideration to a historic building's significance or importance. Conducting additional formal citywide historic resource reconnaissance surveys could be commissioned by seeking proposals from professional services consultants. Such action would increase the City's awareness of its stock of historic buildings; however, this action alone will not prevent demolition or loss of historically significant buildings or sites from the mid-century period. Considerable time and cost would need to be outlaid in order to contract for such a task. Demolition actions subject to HSPB review. The Council also questioned what constitutes "demolition" with respect to this code section. Currently the Historic Preservation Ordinance does not provide a definition of "demolition" subject to HSPB review for Class 3 structures. Since the Historic Preservation ordinance generally limits HSPB actions and review on private structures to "exterior features only', staff believes it is appropriate to clarify "demolition of Class 3 sites" using the Building & Safety Departments' definition of "Building Envelope" as defined in the 2013 California Energy Code, that is "the ensemble of exterior and demising partitions of a building that enclose conditioned space". Therefore only those The survey was commissioned as a condition of approval for Case 5.0827, "The Plaza at Sunrise', a shopping center development at the northwest corner of Ramon Road and Sunrise Way that caused the demolition of a shopping center designed by architect Albert Frey in the 1950's. 2 The survey was capped at 200 buildings because that was the number of sites that could be surveyed and recorded within the ARG contract allowance of$50,000. The only exceptions are buildings listed in the survey built prior to 1945, the current cut-off date for Class 3 sites, which DO require HSPB review before issuance of a demolition permit). 02 City Council Staff Report Page 3 of 3 Case 5.1311 Municipal Code Text Amendment Section 8.05 Class 3 historic sites January 15, 2014 applications that entail demolition of the entire building envelope would be subject to HSPB review. All interior changes, additions and other modifications to pre-1969 structures would be unaffected by this proposal. Staff and the HSPB need to act promptly when such cases come before them for consideration. Therefore, upon receipt of a demolition application on a Class 3 site, staff will immediately conduct preliminary research and if the need arises, will call a special meeting of the HSPB. The HSPB also discussed a possible standing subcommittee to expedite the review of demolition applications on Class 3 sites. The Building & Safety Department processes on average five (5) demolition permits annually4. Thus the potential increase in workload for staff and HSPB imposed by this proposed amendment would be negligible. Cultural and Architectural Tourism continues to be an increasing segment of the tourist market for Palm Springs. In recent years, international awareness of the "Palm Springs Brand" has increasingly been built upon the City's unique concentration of "mid-century modern" architecture (generally defined as the period from 1945 to 1969). This economic driver is most easily measured in attendance at "Modernism Week", which has enjoyed over a fourfold increase since 2009.5 The proposed text amendment will not prevent the buildings from this period from being demolished, but it will at least allow a more deliberate review of such requests. Staff to return with a draft ordinance incorporating the proposed amendment for City Council consideration up n direction. M. kgrgo Wheeler, AICP David H.

Anecdotal information from a local restaurateur was that the increase in business during Modernism Week is comparable to that which occurs during the week of the Palm Springs International Film Festival. It is likely that this increase also translates into additional hotel stays and added revenue from Transient Occupancy Tax. 03 City Council Staff Report Page 4 of 4 Case 5.1311 Municipal Code Text Amendment Section 8.05 Class 3 historic sites January 15, 2014 2.

CITY OF PALM SPRINGS ) 1, JAMES THOMPSON, City Clerk, City of Palm Springs, California, hereby certify, that the preceding is an excerpt of the minute action of the Palm Springs City Council at its regular meeting held on the 4th day of December, 2013. ES THOMPSON, CITY CLERK City of Palm Springs, California 05 DATE: October 20. 2004 TO: City Council FROM: Director of Strategic Planning APPROVAL OF CITYWIDE HISTORIC RESOURCES SURVEY. RECOMMENDATION That the City Council approve by Minute Order the attached Citywide Historic Resources Survey presented to the Historic Site Preservation Board (HSPB) at their regular meeting on October 12, 2004. SUMMARY The attached Citywide Historic Resources Survey represents the first formal survey of 200 historic resources in the city and will assist staff and community in understanding the geographic dispersion of resources and aid in future planning and historic preservation efforts for the City. The HSPB, at its July 13, 2004 meeting, by a 6-0-1 vote, approved the survey. At their October 12, 2004 meeting, Lhe HSPB further recommended that the survey be approved by the City Council and that it be formally submitted to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). The survey was a cooperative effort between Architectural Resources Group, HSPB, staff, the community, and interested parties. The survey is intended to be a database of historical resources in the city and will be used for informational purposes only. tall will continue to work with the Historic Site Preservation Board in developing recommendations from the survey results. Recommendations may include a work program and public information program. The City already maintains a local register of designated Class 1 and Class 2 Historic Sites. According to SHPO, 20% of California cities have prepared local historic surveys. BACKGROUND The scope of work for the survey was developed by staff with Input from the Palm Springs Modern Committee and the Historic Site Preservation Board (HSPB) with subsequent approval by City Council. City Council approved the Request For Proposals (RFP) on November 6, 2002 and awarded the contract to Architectural Resources Group on July 16, 2003_ A subsequent contract amendment was approved by City Council on February 4, 2004, in the amount of $7,040 for a second reconnaissance survey of obscured properties. The survey will serve as a long range planning tool in terms of identifying historic resources for potential listing on local, State, and National Registers and the possible establishment of historic districts, if warranted. The survey meets the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Preservation Planning, Identification, Evaluation, and Registration. The survey was conducted using California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) Farm 523A (Primary Record) and 523B (Building, Structure, Object Record). kb 06 The Primary Record lists basic information about a historic property including a description of the resource and its major elements including design, materials, condition, and alterations. The Building, Structure, and Object (BSO) Record is more detailed and includes items such as other related features, a construction history, and a statement of significance to analyze the integrity of the resource. The properties surveyed did not include those sites already locally designated as Class 1 or Class 2 Historic Sites. Staff has contacted SHPO regarding the impacts on private property rights should the survey be submitted to the state. An update will be available at the meeting. Upon adoption of the survey, it will be submitted to the Eastern Information Center at UC-Riverside so that it can be entered into the California Historical Resources File System, i tw Director of trategic Planning 7 City Manager ATTACHMENTS 1.

HISTORIC RESOURCES SURVEY. RECOMMENDATION That the City Council approve the attached Request for Proposal (RFP) for a city-wide historic resources survey. SUMMARY The RFP was last reviewed and approved by the Historic Site Preservation Board at their September 10, 2002 meeting. Prior to the meeting, the RFP was reviewed by the City Attorney, Director of Procurement, Palm Springs Modern Committee, and a representative from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). BACKGROUND _city-wide historic resources survey is a condition of approval for Case 5.0827 an application undm Developm-end ompany or a commercial develo ment at the northwest corner of Ramon Road and Sunrise Way. Lundin evelopment ompany is required o eposit , 01dr the purposes of preparing the survey at the time of building permit issuance. As part of the condition, the RFP shall include input from the Palm Springs Modern Committee and the Historic Site Preservation Board and subsequently be approved by the City Council. The RFP calls for proposals from architectural historians who meet or exceed the Secretary of the Interior's minimum qualifications and all work shall conform to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Preservation Planning, Identifications, Evaluation, and Registration. The survey will be conducted using SHPO Forms 523A (Primary Record) and 523B (Building, Structure, Object Record). The Primary Record allows the consultant to collect basic information about a historic property including a description of the resource and its major elements including design, materials, condition, and alterations. The Building, Structure, and Object Record goes into more detail and includes items such as other related features, a construction history, and a statement of significance to analyze the integrity of the resource. A survey of 200 properties will be performed using Form A with a further 50 properties surveyed with greater detail using Form B. Depending on budget constraints, the consultant may propose to survey more properties using Form B if needed. Properties surveyed using Form B could potentially be available for listing on the California or National Register. 15 The total project budget shall not exceed $50.000 and staff proposes a payment schedule based upon presentation of deliverables. The final historic resources survey report will be presented to Council for approval and also submitted to the State Historic Preservation Office.

Minute Order 16 PALM SPRINGS PRESERVATION 1 JFOUNDATION December 2, 2013 The Honorable Steve Pougnet, Mayor of Palm Springs City of Palm Springs 3200 East Tahquitz Canyon Way Palm Springs, CA 92262 Dear Mayor Pougnet, Subject: Historic Site Preservation Board (HSPB) Recommendation (Item 2H) Regarding item 2H on the city council's December 4, 2013 agenda, we strongly and enthusiastically support the HSPB's recommendation to update PSMC Chapter 8.05 to expand the definition of Class 3 sites to include those built before 1969. This change will allow the HSPB, and the community, to be more fully informed of any proposed building demolitions. We fully concur with the city staff's assessment that"Many of the City's signature mid- century buildings were built between 1945 and 1968." Just last year a 1962 Palm Springs residence (Steel Development House#2) was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Hence, we would encourage the city council to make the logical, and forward- leaning, decision to expand the definition of Class 3 sites to include those built before 1969. Sincerely, - Erik Rosenow President Cc: Councilmembers Foat, Mills, Hutcheson and Lewin 1775 East Palm Canyon Dnvq Suite 110-195,Palm Springs,CA 92264 (760)837-7117 • info@pspresefvationfoundation.org a w .pspreservationfoundarion.org 17
