CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: MAY 18, 2011 LEGISLATIVE
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE EXTENDING THE DEFERRAL
OF PAYMENT OF CERTAIN DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES BY
ORDINANCE NO. 1757
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: James Thompson, City Clerk
SUMMARY
The City Council will consider introducing an ordinance that would extend the provisions
of Ordinance No. 1757 deferring the payment of Quimby Park Fees (In Lieu of
Dedication) and Public Art Fees, to be payable upon the earlier of final inspection or
certificate of occupancy.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Waive reading of the full text of the Ordinance and introduce by title only.
2. Introduce for first reading Ordinance No. , "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, PROVIDING FOR THE DEFERRAL OF
PAYMENT OF CERTAIN DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES AND EXTENDING
ORDINANCE NO. 1757."
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Due to the condition of the economy in 2009, the City Council requested staff prepare
an ordinance that provided for the deferral of Quimby Park Fees and Public Art Fees.
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1757 which expired on July 1, 2010, and the
City Council requested staff prepare an Ordinance extending the deferral for an
additional year. The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1775 extending the deferral to
July 1, 2011.
Normally, these two fees would be payable to the City upon the issuance of a permit.
The extension would provide for the continued deferral of Quimby Park Fees and Public
Art Fees to be payable upon the earlier of final inspection or certificate of occupancy.

Extend Deferral of Fees
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council could take no action to extend the deferral of fees; and July 1, 2011,
the fees would be payable pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Palm Springs
Municipal Code.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact, the proposed ordinance does not waive fees, merely defers the
payment of the fees; and requires a security instrument be provided by the applicant to
secure the City's interest in the final collection of the fees.
