Ready, City Manager BY: Department of Planning Services SUMMARY At the Study Session, staff will be presenting land use scenarios to evaluate the 1-10 corridor to allow for greater future development opportunities. The Council will have an opportunity to direct staff and the consultant on follow-up General Plan studies. Related information regarding an update to the city's Sphere of Influence will also be presented and direction to proceed will also be sought from Council on that topic. RECOMMENDATION: That Council receive the information presented and provide Staff direction on how to proceed with the General Plan Update Land Use designations for the area presented and related spheres of influence update reports to LAFCO. STAFF ANALYSIS: BACKGROUND: At the City Council Study Session of February 22, 2006 The Proposed Land Use Designations for the General Plan Update were presented. The purpose of this review was to inform Council of the direction that had been taken with regard to assignment of land use designations and hear any concerns prior to moving forward with other General Plan Elements that are dependent on the Land Use Element (for example: Traffic and Circulation). Council requested a re-study of the proposed land uses along the 1-10 corridor -- specifically that area of the city north of the rail road tracks -- in order to maximize development opportunities, subject to physical and other constraints that exist in that area. Item No. c c n C n . City Council Staff Report (insert meeting date) -- Page 2 (insert brief title) PRESENTATION: A Powerpoint presentation will be made at the study session of April lfh showing the maximum developable land use for this area. A series of natural and manmade conditions will be 'overlaid' to inform the Council of constraints that it may wish to take into consideration in determining whether all, or a part, of this area should be included in the "developable land use designation". (List of constraints attached). The developable land use designation mentioned above has been given its own name: "Regional Business Use". This was done to accommodate a number of land uses in this area that may be desired and appropriate adjacent to the freeway. These anticipated land uses already in exist in the General Plan (such as Light Industrial, Office, Regional Commercial). This new land use designation is recommended in order to take into account that the 1-10 corridor development might require a different set of guidelines than what might be desired in any one of the other land use designations already in place elsewhere in the city. It is intended to offer flexibility in this unique land area without compromising desired development guidelines already in place elsewhere in the city. Once Council provides direction, staff will work with consultants to analyze traffic, circulation and other inter-related aspects of the General Plan Update and will advise Council if the desired land use causes unreasonable or unmitigable conditions in other aspects in the General Plan. SPHERE OF INFLUENCE. BACKGROUND: The General Plan Update is required to include those areas that are within the city's "Sphere of Influence"; those areas outside the City's corporate boundaries that are anticipated for future annexation. Coincident with the ongoing General Plan Update, LAFCO (the Local Agency Formation Commission) has initiated its five year cyclical process of updates to the spheres of influence and municipal service reviews (MSR's) for the western cities in the Coachella Valley. A map showing the current City of Palm Springs' Sphere of Influence as well as that of the adjacent cities of Desert Hot Springs and Cathedral City is attached. Staff will seek direction from Council on whether or not to pursue a proposal to LAFCO to add territory to its sphere of influence, specifically north of the 1-10 corridor from the Indian Avenue interchange to areas adjacent to the Gene Autry interchange. Alternatively, the city may submit the LAFCO Municipal Service Review Updates with the existing sphere of influence "as is". FISCAL IMPACT: IFinance Director Review: e d City Council Staff Report (insert meeting date) -- Page 3 (insert brief title) The fiscal impact of the recommended revisions to the proposed General Plan Update Land Use Map would be to afford future economic benefit from taxes on businesses that might locate and develop in the area adjacent to the 1-10 freeway. There would be costs to the city (unknown at this time) for providing infrastructure (roads, utilities, etc.) and services to these areas and future businesses. Related to the contract for the General Plan Update, there may be additional professional services costs required for additional traffic modeling and restudy of the subject areas. (Exact costs are being evaluated at this time; estimated to be less than $10,000). The fiscal impact of expanding the city's sphere of influence would be to afford future economic benefit from taxes on businesses that develop in the territory within the expanded sphere of influence should those areas be annexed into the city. There would be costs to the city (unknown at this time) for providing infrastructure (roads, utilities, etc.) and services to these added sphere of influence areas, regardless of whether annexation occurs in the future or not. Related to the cost for the General Plan Update, there may be professional services costs required for amending the General Plan to include new sphere of influence areas. (Professional services for this effort have not been solicited or estimated). rig . E p in; ni)nServlces , iP Thomas J. Wils Direr-of PI Assistant City Manager, Development Svcs David H.

Map showing Existing Sphere of Influence City Council Staff Report (insert meeting date) -- Page 4 (insert brief title) General Plan Update — Land Use Plan — 1-10 Corridor Restudy CONSTRAINTS WHICH MAY LIMIT INTENSIFIED LAND USE Constraint Priority #1: Seismic Faults and Zones. Geographic records show faults known to exist in the area including those with recorded movement and activity and those with no recorded activity. It is recommended that areas with active fault zones be excluded from the Regional Business Land Use. Constraint Priority #2: 100 year Flood Plain Zone. Army Corps of Engineer records show those areas which lie within the flood plain. In some areas, water flow can be controlled and diverted via capital investment in channels and pipelines. Areas where the water volume or topography makes such investment impractical are recommended to be excluded from the Regional Business Land Use. Constraint Priority #3: Federally Listed Endangered Species and Related Habitat Existing federally listed environmental protection of species and habitat is considered by staff to be of greater consequence than those which may be under study or in draft form for municipal or governmental review or future action. The likelihood of objection, opposing public sentiment and/or real litigious challenge to designating such areas as "developable" is a greater in these areas. It is recommended these areas be excluded from the Regional Business Land Use. Constraint Priority #4: The Multi Species Habitat Conservation Plan. These areas include habitat and species identified as deserving of protection and preservation. Actions by the City of Palm Springs will be important in influencing the outcome of this recommended protection ordinance. Its pending currency in public debate and opinion as well as possible future litigious activity make it a constraint worth considering. Constraint Priority #5: Accessibility Existing roadways, freeway interchanges, access points, and topography make some areas under study more accessible than others. The lengthy process and capital costs involved in the approval, engineering and construction of access roads, bridges, and major freeway interchanges make a compelling argument that those areas with accessibility infrastructure already in place be encouraged to be built out before others that would necessitate major up front governmental capital investment. A "Phasing Plan" is recommended. Constraint Priority 96: Wind Energy Generation Overlay The Wind Energy Generation Overlay applies a constraint to those areas within it in terms of the intensity and type of development allowed therein. Constraint Priority #7: Mineral Resources Although the area is unstudied in terms of specific identification of mineral resources, known sand and gravel deposits in these areas represent natural resources that may be of interest to the city. Development via the Regional Business Land Use may make these resources unavailable for extraction.
