My/our condo complex, Center Court, abuts the property, yet no one in our complex was notified of the meeting, and from talking with neighbors at surrounding complexes, many of them have not, either. This was confirmed through a review of the mailing list used. Our address is 355 N Avenida Caballeros. We would like ample opportunity to review the new plans, any view and sun/shade studies, and provide input to the developer regarding potential enhancements to this project that may not adversely impact the neighborhood or the neighbors as the current proposal does. This development, even with the new plan, will GREATLY impact our complex in views that are virtually eliminated, as well as increased noise and traffic that will occur. Most of our units will be surrounded by 55 foot high walls of hotel, as well as tall condos and parking structure. A project was approved by the City Council on July 18, 2007. Although I do not have information prior to that date, since 2007 there has been no proactive outreach by the developer or the city to understand the project, any changes, and discuss and provide feedback on its impacts. Any meetings held by the Planning Commission or City Council were not noticed, nor was anyone, at least not in the most impacted complex, notified of any meeting to discuss the project. Any information was obtained after these meetings and only through The Desert Sun. I am unsure of which, if any, council members or commissioners have been to our complex on the outside or the inside, to understand the potential negative impacts this development will have on us. I invite you to come out and walk our complex to get an idea of the impacts. Further, our HOA has organized a community meeting on Monday, September 30th at 7pm in our clubhouse at 355 N Avenida Caballeros. Entry is on the street. We have invited the developer to present the plan, and we are awaiting their response. We would also like to invite any or all of you to attend to understand the position of us and the neighbors. Margo Wheeler of the City of Palm Springs has said she will be attending. Attached are numerous communications, specifically: • Meeting notice to Neighbors for the 9/30/13 Community Meeting; Letter distributed to the Planning Commission at the 9/25/13 meeting during Public Comment. Also, hand -delivered to the City Clerk's office for distribution to the City Council, and hand -delivered to others noted. n , I f�[al t flOrwl t1a4crix t 1%/,3 Cindy Berardi From: David Powell <dbpowellwc@gmail.com> Sent: 200113 i' G : ': �fil lsday, September26, 20131:34 PM To: Steve Pougnet; Ginny Foat; Chris Mills; Paul Lewin; Rick Hutcheson Cc: CityClerk; Lauri Kibby; Skip Descant PS; Margo Wheeler, Edward Robertson Subject: Fwd: Dolce Hotel Project -- Community Meeting -- September 30, 2013, at 7 pm Attachments: AveCab Neighborhhod Mtg 9-30-13.pdf; Dolce City Letter.pdf; PC Testimony 9-25-13.pdf Honorable Mayor and City Council - I am asking to postpone the City Council public hearing scheduled for October 2, 2013, to discuss the Dolce Hotel development at Amado and Avenida Caballeros.

Also, as I mentioned on the phone, there will be a community meeting in our clubhouse on Monday, September 30th at 7pm. We have distributed notices to the surrounding developments on Tuesday, September 24th. We would like to invite you, as the developer, to present the project plans and any other information to the neighbors so that everyone can better understand what is proposed. I believe that having the full-size project plan, as well as having an overhead presentation, would be very valuable to the community. Unfortunately, we do not have either a projector or screen available. I'm sure we could get a blank wall and a white sheet to project on to if you bring your laptop and projector.

Also there were two of our other residents, Steve Harris and Aamer Mumtaz. FYI - Aamer was also with us when we met on 9/16 in the parking lot. After leaving yesterday's meeting, we discussed potential options that could be considered by the developer and the city for this project to lessen the impacts on the neighbors. One option we request be considered is to move the entire development toward the West, abutting Alvarado, and move the pool area to the East side of the hotel. This might lessen some of the amenities on the West side when the building is shifted East. This will be raised at the Monday night neighbors meeting, so I would hope your architect or planner can look at the potential of this change.

To all Homeowners and Residents in the area of the Planned Development on Amado Road between Avenida Caballeros and Alejo: As you may know, a Dolce Hotel and Conference Center is proposed on the current Convention Center parking lot on Amado Road, extending from Avenida Caballeros to Calle Alvarado and Alejo Road. The ten -acre property will include condominiums, high -end luxury villas, and a hotel, in the shape of a half -circle, reaching 52 to 57 feet in height. This project will greatly impact our neighborhood and particularly our properties — both in value and aesthetic benefits. The following is information you should know: • The hotel at the height of 54-57 feet will impede, and for many, totally block, mountain views on the South, West, and Southwest sides of adjacent properties. • The planned condo building to the East of the hotel, extending to the comer of Amado and Avenida Caballeros, will also impact views from the adjacent property. • The development plan includes a number of high -end villas that may impede the views of other complexes on Avenida Caballeros that extend to Alejo Road. • The hotel and the condo buildings will block sunlight for a significant portion of adjacent properties during a majority of the day, particularly in the Winter season when the maximum number of residents spend time in the area specifically to enjoy the sunlight. • Many residents of adjacent properties will experience an earlier sunset as the sun goes behind the high development sooner than behind the mountains. In addition to the previous concerns, there are also a number of other issues: • The original study in 2007 could not have anticipated all the new construction that has happened, and continues to happen, within the immediate area. This includes the Sol Development on the NE comer of Amado and Avenida Caballeros, as well as the development of The Morrison project. As such, we are unaware of any new EIR study or study of impacts on the surrounding areas. Each of these added projects would affect potential traffic, noise and other environmental issues. The planning department is still working off of a draft "Mitigated Negative Declaration" that stats that a full EIR is not required under CEQA and that any issues are minimal and can be mitigated by the developer and/or the city. • Since this complex is being built on top of the current convention center parking lot, parking for events must be redirected to either another site not yet disclosed, or on the surrounding streets, which also will impact both residents and through -traffic. This is a definite environmental impact. Continued on back URGENT NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING REGARDING NEIGHBORING DEVELOPMENT MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30TH AT 7 pm.

This is a definite environmental impact. Continued on back The Palm Springs Planning Department stated that neighborhood notifications were sent numerous times to all residents/homeowners in the surrounding area notifying us of the development and public hearings that were held by the Planning Commission and the City Council. No owners or residents of Center Court received such notification of the projects or any meetings by the Planning Commission or the City Council. Upon questioning the city, it appears that if notifications were sent, the addresses for many of the recipients in the surrounding area may be incorrect. Further, the mailing list obtained listed NONE of the Center Court homeowners or residents, the most adjacent and most impacted of all units. The last impact study for this project was done in 2007 under another project name, with approval to proceed with plans received by the city council in 2007. Since then, to our knowledge, no residents were notified of project status or any changes. There has been significant turnover in home ownership in this area since 2007, and the developers have done a poor job of communicating the project's scope and impact to local residents having had no proactive community meetings or outreach. THE ABOVE LISTED ISSUES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE VALUES OF OUR HOMES. As such, it is important for us to review the project's scope and to voice our concerns and questions to the city and the developers. There is a City Council meeting on October 2, 2013, at 6 pm at Palm Springs City Hall for the council to give the project a final green light to proceed. Since most, if not all, residents most impacted by this project were not informed of any public hearings or meetings regarding this project in the past 6 years, it is crucial that our voices be heard, and that we develop a strategy to provide comment to the City, as well as better understand the potential impacts this project will have on our neighborhood. We have approached the City Council and the Planning Department to postpone the Public Hearing scheduled for October 2"a, but it is not assured to happen. Thus, we must all attend the Council meeting on October 2°d To prepare for this meeting, we will have a residents' meeting on Monday, September 30th at 7pm at the Center Court Clubhouse, 355 N Avenida Caballeros. We welcome and encourage your attendance and participation at this meeting so that we can summarize and consolidate all perspectives. Further, your presence at the City Council meeting on October 2.^ would show that the neighborhood is concerned about potential development and impacts in our area. Don't let the Dolce Hotel, or any other development, impact our area without an opportunity to be heard. We hope to see you on Monday, September 30th at 7pm at the Center Court Clubhouse. Please contact either of us if you have any questions.

Your Neighbors, Steve Harris Dave Powell - Center Court HOA 760-399-0580 760-322-3205 Public Comment PS Planning Commission Meeting September 25, 2013 Good afternoon. Thank you Mr. Chair and Commissioners. My name is David Powell. I live at 355 N Avenida Caballeros, on the corner of Amado. In front of you is a letter that I directed to the City Council, the commissions and other persons in the city, to request to postpone the public hearing that is occurring at the City Council on October 2nd and/or any action on the proposed development of the Dolce Hotel on the site of the parking lot of the Convention Center until neighbors can see updated plans, studies, and understand the potential environmental impacts to the neighborhood, and particularly on our development which abuts the property. There has been no proactive communications by the developer on this project since approval in 2007, and definitely none since September 2010 when I bought my premises here. Nor have neighbors been provided notice of any public hearings or other meetings of this project, including the City Council meeting next week There will be great impacts to both the view and sound levels created by this development. It will completely block any view as the 55 foot building will be approximately 40 feet from our front door. No current views studies have been taken since 2007, nor any other environmental impact studies after the addition of the Palomino, Alejo Vista, Sol, and The Morrison developments. The developers explain the project is scaled down and the impacts will be less than before. At the June 12th Planning Commission meeting, which is noted in the Council proclamation as a public hearing, two commissioners, Hudson and Roberts, asked to understand the impacts of the view, and for sun/shade studies on the neighbors immediately adjacent, which is us at Center Court. Fourteen (14) weeks later, the developer says that view studies are being completed and will be presented at the council meeting. Sun and shade studies are not done as it will be better than it was before with the drop of height. Obviously, if these are presented at council meeting, we wont have opportunity to review it prior and provide comment. Finally, I have been told twice by the developer that the initial project has been approved and that tomorrow they could start building from that original plan, where impacts were even greater. The neighbors want an opportunity to have a voice. If, as it states outside, The People Are The City, then these people would like an opportunity to be heard and hopefully have positive impact on the process. Thank you.

The amendment proposes a significant change to the site plan configuration, elevations and the overall mass compared to the original entitlement. The project will have the same components consisting of the hotel which will now be called the "Dolce Palm Springs"; an urban resort hotel with indoor, outdoor and event spaces. The new proposal will also include high -end residential use located at the north and easterly sections of the property. ANALYSIS: Planned Development District 333 was approved under the provisions of Section 94.02.00.13 of the Palm Springs Zoning Code. The original project design and development standards contained in PDD 333 will remain in effect. The applicant is not seeking for any new deviations from the previously established development standards. Overall, the proposed amendment varies to some degree from the original entitlement; 1E City Council Staff Report July 3, 2013 Case 5 1132-PD 333 Page 5 of 7 the new site plan, the project massing, the architecture and the residential component have changed substantially. There has been a reduction in the number of high density structures, the orientation and location of the main hotel structure on the property, a reduction of hotel height, spatial use at the corner of Amado Road and Calle Alvarado have all changed. However, the project is still in keeping with the intent of the original PDD and requirements of Section 14 Specific Plan. The Hotel Component: The proposed amendment includes the rebranding of the hotel from "The Mondrian Hotel' to the `Dolce Palm Springs". The Dolce hotel offers the same number of hotel rooms; two hundred (200), five stories with a maximum height of fifty-six (56) feet. The current design makes a significant departure from the approved design; the number of buildings that comprise the hotel has been reduced from three to one. The one structure is now an arced building, with the principal volume sitting 283 feet from the southwest corner of Amado and Alvarado. This corner now has denser landscaping allowing for the creation of an urban resort environment. Additionally, because of the curved shape of the hotel structure, the setback from the rear inside corner of the property to the principal building mass is increased to 77 feet creating more separation between the taller elements of the hotel and the neighboring residents behind. Residential Component: There will be a total of fifty (50) residential units situated in three different locations on the site. Thirteen (13) two-story villas on approximately three (3) acres are located to the north, each of these units have their own two -car garages. To the west are five (5) single story villas located around a private garden with direct access to the hotel; parking for these units will be provided by the hotel valet and surface parking of the private access. To the east of the site, on a podium above the parking garage, is a four story condominium structure consisting of thirty-two (32) luxury residential units with a private common pool, podium garden and a fitness center. The villas will consist of two buildings; the front structure will contain twelve (12) units on two levels; there will be three elevators available to four units each. The rear building will contain twenty (20) residential units and will have two elevators. Tentative Parcel Map: The applicant has also submitted an application to amend Tentative Parcel Map 35236 (Condominium Map) which was previously approved along with PDD 333. That map subdivided the property into five (5) lots. The applicant is now proposing to modify the parcel map into four (4) lots. Three lots will contain residential units and parking structure; one lot will contain the hotel, meeting spaces and other relevant uses. Parcel maps in such a development are usually for financial purposes. Plannina Commission & AAC Review: As stated earlier, the AAC and Planning Commission reviewed the project with favorable recommendations and action. In response to the comments and recommendations from the AAC and Planning Commission, the applicant has incorporated additional walkways and points of access to the project. Specifically, a winding walkway from the corner of 05 City Council Staff Report July 3, 2013 Case 5.1132-PD 333 Page 6 of 7 Amado and Alvarado was added; another walkway leading to the front lobby was also added. Additionally, a restaurant pad was created on the corner of Amado Road and Alvarado. Finally, a secondary Valet station, car and Limousine stacking area during peak operation hours have been added to the project design. PDD Amendment., Section 94.03.00(G) of the Zoning Ordinance allows the Planning Commission to modify Final Development Plans of Planned Developments. According to the Ordinance, the Commission may approve minor architectural or site changes that do not affect the intent of the PD. In this case, staff believes that the proposed amendment is consistent with the above -referenced requirements of the Ordinance, but given the history, size, scope, and the proximity of the project location to the Convention Center, a City Council action on a change to the original approval is appropriate. Public Benefits: Planned Development District projects may be subject to the provision of a "public benefit", as recognized by the Palm Springs General Plan., In this case, the proposed project includes a parking structure with 65 spaces more than required by Code which will provide for Convention Center parking. This will improve parking conditions for that facility. Public Benefits shall be at bast one of the following: Conforms? What the Applicant Is proposing: 1 The project itself In 2007, the City Council determined that the proposed (Fulfilling GP objectives, economic development, community parking structure which will be beautification, added parking, improved circulation, blight opened to the public was a benefit. removal, etc). 2 Key project features: Organic Garden (Through streets, interior parks, community opens space, community meeting rooms, entry features, preservation of important buildings or natural features, daycare facility, etc.) 3 Sustainable Features: None (Features that measurably achieve the City's sustalnability goals including water, energy or other resource conservation, (e.g. LEED certification) active and/or passive solar features, California Green Building Code features, etc.) 4 Off -site Improvements: None (Off -site dedications, such as widened thoroughfares with meandering bikeways, public park lands, hiking trails, recreational facilities, decorative medians or other public improvements located off the project site). ' "Traditionally, planned development districts have been used to provide flexibility that enable developers to increase buildable area and height, and alter other standard development regulations, above that permitted by zoning, conditioned on analyses and mitigation of impacts and contribution of speck "benefits" to the City (e.g. additional parking, community open space and meeting rooms, funds for community beautification, housing day care facilities and other similar amenities). All Planned Development Districts shall be consistent with the General Plan. (Palm Springs General Plan, Page 1-81) o City Council Staff Report Case 5 1132-PD 333 Page 7 of 7 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: July 3, 2013 The Planning Department has reviewed this proposed project under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and determined that the overall project had the potential for significant impacts, but that the impacts would not be significant in this case because project modifications and mitigation measures incorporated into the Initial Study reduce impacts to less than significant levels. Pursuant to Section 15162 of the California Environmental Act (CEQA), the preparation of further environmental assessment for the proposed amendment is not necessary since the circumstances of the project have not changed or intensified. The present amendment could not therefore, result in any new environmental impacts beyond those already assessed in the adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND No. 200700845). NOTIFICATION: A public hearing notice was advertised and was mailed to all property owners within 400 feet radius of the subject property. As of the writing of this report, staff has received phone calls and visits from property owners to express concerns and thoughts regarding the project.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) has been previously completed for this proposed project under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A determination was made that the overall project had the potential for significant impacts, but that the impacts would not be significant in this case because project modifications and mitigation measures incorporated into the Initial Study reduce impacts to less than significant levels. Pursuant to Section 15162 of the California Environmental Act (CEQA), the preparation of further environmental assessment for the proposed amendment is not necessary since the circumstances of the project have not changed or intensified. The present amendment could not therefore, result in any new environmental impacts beyond those already assessed in the adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND No. 200700845). Section 2: Pursuant to Section 94.03.00 of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, the City Council makes the following findings: a. The proposed planned development amendment is consistent and in conformity with the general plan pursuant to Sections 94.07.00 (A)(1) and 94.02.00 (A)(4) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code. The proposed amendment to Planned Development District 333 is consistent with the General Plan, which includes policies specifically relating to the expansion of the City's tourism base. The project is also consistent with the Section 14 Master Plan, as amended, which represents the General Plan and Zoning for the property on which the project is located. b. The subject property is suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed planned development district, in terms of access, size of parcel, relationship to similar or related uses, and other relevant considerations. 10 Resolution No. 5.1132-PD 333 AMND Page 3 October 2, 2013 The project, as planned, designed and conditioned, is consistent with the Section 14 Master Plan and the City of Palm Springs vision of the area for the future. The site is physically suitable and appropriate for the proposed project given its close proximity to the Convention Center and the downtown area. The location provides sufficient access points for all uses proposed. C. The proposed establishment of the planned development district is necessary and proper, and is not likely to be detrimental to adjacent property or residents. The Amended Planned Development District modifies development of the project while maintaining the original development envisioned for the site; upon completion of the project, the development will still reflect a manner that is conducive with the urban development sought for in the area. The project adds to the Section 14 Master Plan facilities which are complementary to the Convention Center and the nearby downtown area. Section 3: The City Council approves the proposed amendment to Planned Development District 333 and modified Tentative Parcel Map 35236, for the development of a 200-room hotel, 50 high -end residential units and a parking structure on an approximately 10.47 acres of vacant lands located at the northwest corner of Avenida Caballeros and Amado Road subject to the Conditions of Approval attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Thank You for your consideration. Randy Bernardi 43 September 25, 2013 CITY OF PALM SPRINGS Honorable Mayor and City Council Planning Commission City Clerk Director of Planning Services Director of Community and Economic Development Re: Dolce Palm Springs/Praetor Investments Cases 5.1132, Planned Development District 333 and Tentative Tract Map 35236 Dear City Officials, A planned development to include the Dolce Hotel and Conference Center, 50 residential units and a parking structure is proposed for the current Convention Center parking lot on Amado Road, extending from Avenida Caballeros to Calle Alvarado and Alejo Road. The hotel is to reach 52 to 55 feet in height. We would like to request the City Council POSTPONE their public hearing and any further decisions on this matter until further studies can be performed and presented in a study session. Past studies were completed in 2007 when the original plan was submitted and apparently approved by City Council. Much has changed since 2007, including much development in the surrounding area, which could have environmental impacts when combined with any proposed project at this site. We, as neighbors immediately adjacent to the project site, would like an opportunity to view plans, talk with the developer, and provide meaningful input as to the projects design and the potential impacts it will have on views, daylight and traffic. Further, sufficient notification of this public hearing, nor earlier public hearings since 2007, has been provided to the neighbors — and definitely not to the residents of Center Court Club, which abuts the project. Impacts to Adiacent Properties and Neiehborhood: This project will greatly impact our neighborhood and particularly our property — both in value and aesthetic benefits. Following are some of our items of concern: The hotel at the height of 52-55 feet will impede, and for many, totally block, mountain views on the South, West, and Southwest sides of adjacent properties. The planned condo building to the East of the hotel, extending to the corner of Amado and Avenida Caballeros, will also greatly impact views from the adjacent property. In talking to the developer representative, Lauri Kibbe, there have not been current view studies submitted prior to the council or the planning commission. The hotel and the condo buildings will presumably block sunlight for a significant portion of adjacent properties during a majority of the day, particularly in the Winter season when the maximum number of residents spend time in the area specifically to enjoy the sunlight. Many residents of adjacent properties will experience an earlier sunset as the sun goes behind the high development sooner than behind the mountains. Again, we have not seen prior or current sun and shade studies to determine potential impacts. These were requested by the Planning Commission at their June 12, 2013, meeting. Iof2 44 In addition, there are a number of environmental impacts that, to our knowledge, have not been studied since 2007: The original study in 2007 could not have anticipated all the new construction that has happened, and continues to happen, within the immediate area. This includes the Sol Development on the NE corner of Amado and Avenida Caballeros, as well as the development of The Morrison project. As such, we are unaware of any new EIR study or study of impacts on the surrounding areas. Each of these added projects would affect potential traffic, noise and other environmental issues. Since this complex is being built on top of the current convention center parking lot, parking for events must be redirected to either another site not yet disclosed, or on the surrounding streets, which also will impact both residents and through -traffic. This is a definite environmental impact. Notifications to Neighbors: The Palm Springs Planning Department stated that letters were sent numerous times to all residents/homeowners in the surrounding area notifying us of the development and public hearings that were held by the Planning Commission and the City Council. No owners or residents of Center Court received such notification of the projects or any meetings by the Planning Commission or the City Council. Upon questioning the city, it appears that if notifications were sent, the addresses for many of the recipients in the surrounding area may be incorrect. Further, the mailing list obtained from the most recent mailing for the October 2, 2013, Council Public Hearing listed NONE of the Center Court homeowners or residents, the most adjacent and most impacted of all complexes. Impact Studies: The last impact study for this project was done in 2007 under another project name, with approval to proceed with plans received by the city council in 2007. Since then, to our knowledge, no residents were notified of project status or any changes. There has been significant turnover in home ownership in this area since 2007, and the developers have done a poor job of proactively communicating the project's scope and impact to local residents having had no community meetings or outreach — during this most recent project proposal, nor any changes within my ownership of the past three years. The above listed issues have the potential to significantly affect the enjoyment of our residences, as well as potentially the value of our properties. As such, it is important for us to review the project's scope and to voice our concerns and questions to the city and the developers. To prepare for this meeting, we will have a residents' meeting on Monday, September 30th at 7pm at the Center Court Clubhouse, 355 N Avenida Caballeros. We welcome and encourage your attendance at this meeting to understand concerns of the neighbors. Thank you for your attention, and please contact me if you have any questions or concerns Sincerely, David Powell 355 N Avenida Caballeros, #14 Palm Springs, CA 92262 dboowellwcra�email.com 760-322-3205 cc: Lauri Kibbe via email Desert Sun and various other media 2of2 45
