PRIOR ACTIONS On July 19, 2012, the applicant submitted a Minor Architectural Application to install a recycling bin enclosure at the northerly side of the property located at 1235 South Gene Autry Trail. ITEM NO. City Council Staff Report January 2,2013—Page 2 3.0452 MAA Appeal—Desert Scapes Welding,Inc. On August 1, 2012, the applicant submitted another Minor Architectural Application to allow the relocated driveway gates at the properties located at 1235 and 1233 South Gene Autry Trail. On August 2, 2012, the Planning Director approved the request to install a recycling enclosure at 1235 S. Gene Autry Trail, and denied the request to relocate the driveway gates at 1235 & 1233 S. Gene Autry Trail. On August 13, 2012, the applicant / appellant filed an appeal of the Planning Director's denial decision to the Planning Commission. On September 12, 2012, the Planning Commission voted 5-0 to deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Director's denial decision. On September 24, 2012, the applicant / appellant filed an appeal of the Planning Commission's denial decision. BACKGROUND AND SETTING: The subject properties (1235 & 1233 S. Gene Autry Trail) are part of a planned industrial park consisting of eleven attached and detached buildings on eleven parcels. The complex has shared access driveways and parking throughout the site. Raw, vacant land surrounds the 4.7 acre industrial park. I.: SUBJECT PROPETIES 02 City Council Staff Report January 2,2013—Page 3 3.0452 MAA Appeal—Desert Scapes Welding,Inc. Table 1: Surrounding General Plan Designations, Zones and Land Uses General Plan Zone Land Use North Industrial M-1 Service / Manufacturing) Vacant South Industrial M-1 Service / Manufacturing) Vacant East Industrial M-1 Service / Manufacturing) Desert Water Agency West Open Space— O (Open Land) Vacant Parks/Rec. STAFF ANALYSIS: When the Planning Commission approved the planned industrial park in 1989, only a portion of the off-street parking areas were approved for restricted access. At 1235 S. Gene Autry Trail, restricted access to parking was approved for six of the thirteen parking spaces on site; the relocated gate now restricts all but three spaces. At 1233 S. Gene Autry Trail, restricted access was approved for six of the fifteen parking spaces; the relocated gate now restricts all but five spaces. The most recent appeal letter submitted by the applicant provides no reasons for overturning the Planning Commission's decision. The initial appeal letter to the Planning Commission included two reasons for overturning the Planning Director's decision. Staff listed both reasons and responded below: 1. These parking areas are used for employee parking only and the gates are located to allow company vehicles to be secured against theft at night. Theft and break-ins on company vehicles is a continuing problem. 2. Neither Desert Scapes Welding, nor the majority of the other business owners are retail businesses. So they don't bring in the general public. There is plenty of parking in the front of the building for visitors and that has not been a problem. The site plan approved by the Planning Commission ,in 1989 allowed a limited number of parking spaces with restricted access for each property. Unrestricted parking included a certain number of spaces for joint use on each property. The Planning Commission agreed that further restriction of parking would impede the joint use of available parking within the industrial complex beyond that which was granted in 1989. The Planning Commission also acknowledged the concern that further restriction of parking areas can be a continual enforcement issue as the restricted parking areas become storage yards. In conclusion, staff and the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council reject the appeal and uphold the decision to deny the relocation of the driveway gates at the subject properties. 03 City Council Staff Report January 2,2013—Page 4 3.0452 MAA Appeal—Desert Scapes Welding,Inc.

Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 2.05.030, and the appellant's stated grounds for the appeal includes the following: 06 City Council Resolution Page 2 1. "These parking areas are used for employee parking only and the gates are located to allow company vehicles to be secured against theft at night.

In your letter dated 6/02/12 Desert Scapes Welding Inc. (DSWI) is responding with the following request for an approval for outdoor storage and driveway gates relocation. The property has nine property owners and an HOA format. The initial approval of the project provided for gates in a similar location to those constructed on site. So the need for such a separation was known from the start of the project. However,the amount of area required inside the gated area was not adequate for the needs of the property owners. The driveway gates at 1233 and 1235 were constructed approximately 8 years ago and a permit was not obtained at that time, The gates were built from the idea of Joe Dennis 1237 for the reason of the theft and unauthorized persons walking into the shop working area,and to block the view of the work area and work trucks. These parking areas are used for employee parking only and the gates are located to allow company vehicles to be secured against theft at night. Theft and break-ins on company vehicles is a continuing problem. Neither Desert Scapes Welding,nor the majority of the other business owners are retail businesses. So they don't bring in the general public. There is plenty of parking in the front of the building for visitors and that has not been a problem. The 1233 location that shares the gate system is a wholesale service and has their gate open during business hours then closed and locked with their service vehicles within. Desert Scapes asks for the gates to remain in position and the City to approve them to remain in the current location. Further, it is the desire of the other property owners that they have approval to be able to install similar gates adjacent to their businesses.

Gene Autry Trail Palm Springs,CA 92264 September 12, 2012 Palm Springs Planning Board RE: 1235 Gene Autry Trail Dear Board, As a building owner in Gene Autry Business Park I have been witness to the events leading up to the decisions about the fencing at 1235/1233 Gene Autry Trail. The codes are the codes. I have to disagreement here. I want to bring to your attention that when I moved in toward the end of 2003. 1 experienced several break-ins.Researching this 1 found out that to a degree,the park was under siege. Historically all the buildings were broken into and this was constant. The police were notified and reports have been made.There was even a police officer that used to sit across the street on his own time to try and catch the thief(s) at night.At one point the police had undercover officers stationed on a roof to with radios and cars waiting for break-ins.At times it was pretty bad. I myself on several occasions saw suspicious persons and called the police.I am at the front of the park. I stood in the drive lane watching to see if anyone left and waited for the police. When they came, no one was found.This happened on several occasions.The police believed that they left the park through the outer wall at 1233/1235. Many actions by all the owners have been done to improve security. I know for myself that the gate/fence between 1233/1235 has greatly assisted in the security of this park.Since 2004/2005 break-ins have been greatly reduced.This is date coincident with the gates going in If you go to the other side of the fence (The police showed me this),you can see areas where the thief s used to"hang out"?They would dash across to Mesquite.There were tracks. I hope this helps ALL gain more understanding regarding this gate issue. I aermoan 16 J BARBER DEVEL(jI3112E;dp;, 1.1_ - -. c It om Wail -i 9 i 32 '- . .

The appellant is seeking that the Commission overturn the denial and allow the relocation of the driveway gates. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission uphold the decision of the Planning Director denying the request to relocate the driveway gates. BACKGROUND: On July 19, 2012, the applicant submitted a Minor Architectural Application to install a recycling bin enclosure at the northerly side of the property located at 1235 South Gene Autry Trail_ On August 1, 2012, the applicant submitted another Minor Architectural Application to allow the relocated driveway gates at the properties located at 1235 and 1233 South Gene Autry Trail 21 Case 3.0452 MAA-Appeal September 12, 2012 1235&1233 S. Gene Autry Trail Page 2 of 4 On August 2, 2012, the Planning Director approved the request to install a recycling enclosure at 1235 S. Gene Autry Trail, and denied the request to relocate the driveway gates at 1235 & 1233 S. Gene Autry Trail. On August 13, 2012, the applicant / appellant filed a request to appeal the Director's decision to the Planning Commission (see attached letter). SETTING: The subject properties (1235 & 1233 S. Gene Autry Trail) are part of a planned industrial park consisting of eleven attached and detached buildings on eleven parcels. The complex has shared access driveways and parking throughout. Raw, vacant land surrounds the 4.7 acre industrial park. Surrounding land uses, Zoning, and General Plan designations are detailed below: Table 1: Surrounding General Plan Designations, Zones and Land Uses General Plan Zone Land Use North Industrial M-1 Service/ Manufacturing Vacant South Industrial M-1 Service/ Manufacturing) Vacant East Industrial M-1 Service/ Manufacturing) Desert Water Agency West Open Space— O (Open Land) Vacant Parks/Rea A SUBJECT PROPETIES 22 Case 3.0452 MAA-Appeal September 12, 2012 1235&1233 S. Gene Autry Trail Page 3 of 4 APPEAL When the Planning Commission approved the planned industrial park in 1989, only a portion of the off-street parking areas were approved for restricted access. At 1235 S. Gene Autry Trail, restricted access to parking was approved for six of the thirteen parking spaces on site; the relocated gate now restricts all but three spaces. At 1233 S. Gene Autry Trail, restricted access was approved for six of the fifteen parking spaces; the relocated gate now restricts all but five spaces. Staff reviewed the applicant's appeal letter and notes two reasons for overturning the Planning Director's decision. Staff listed both reasons and responded below: 1. These parking areas are used for employee parking only and the gates are located to allow company vehicles to be secured against theft at night. Theft and break-ins on company vehicles is a continuing problem. 2. Neither Desert Scapes Welding, nor the majority of the other business owners are retail businesses. So they don't bring in the general public. There is plenty of parking in the front of the building for visitors and that has not been a problem. The site plan approved by the Planning Commission allowed a limited number of parking spaces with restricted access for each property. Unrestricted parking included a certain number of spaces for joint use on each property. The further restriction of parking would impede the joint use of available parking within the industrial complex beyond that which was granted by the Planning Commission in 1989. Additionally, staff notes that restricted off-street parking areas can, inadvertently or advertently change to outdoor storage areas, which is not the intended use. CONCLUSION: That the Planning Commission uphold the decision of the Planning Director, denying the request to allow relocated driveway entry gates at the properties located at 1235 & 1233 'S.

Dennis III Subject: Gene Autry Trail Business Park Re: Appeal of Planning Commission Decision on Case No. 3.0452 MMA Code Enforcement and Planning has allowed outside storage in parking areas for the past eight(8)months(see attached pictures). They say "as long as they are trying to change things they can break the law as long as it is not life treating". Since when do we break laws while we are in the process of tying to change them? I have recited the City Code and the Minutes from the Planning Commission regarding "outside storage" not being allowed. Last month I moved my twenty(20)year Palm Springs business at 1237 S. Gene Autry Trail to Temecula Queen City Glass Co. employ's fifteen(15)people. The income from our ten(10)million dollar a year business is being spent and taxed in the City of Temecula.
