BACKGROUND
This action would approve a Disposition and Development Agreement with Re: Loft
Partners Palm Springs, LLC (the "Developer') for a 7.8+ acre parcel across Amado
Road from the Palm Springs Convention Center for the development of a 200-room
Mondrian Hotel, 50 condo-hotel units, and up to 150 condominiums. The Developer
owns an adjacent 2.7 acre parcel which is part of the overall project site. The City
entered an Exclusive Agreement to Negotiate with the Developer in February, 2006,
which was extended to December 31, 2007 in order to allow time for the project to reach
the entitlement stage, and for the Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA") to
be finalized.
The project completed entitlement approval through the Architectural Advisory
Committee and Planning Commission. The Preliminary Planned Development District
Application and Tentative Tract Map application were approved by the City Council on
July 18, 2007.
Staff has worked with the Developer since January, 2005 on the development of a First
Class Hotel near the Convention Center: first, on a site at Tahquitz and Hermosa;
second, at the Prairie Schooner site near the Convention Center; and, finally on the
current Convention Center North Parking Lot. The City and Agency have a significant
interest in the development of First Class Hotels near the Convention Center to support
the City's recent $38 million investment in the Center's expansion. Placing the project

December 19, 2007 -- Page 3
Re: Loft Partners Palm Springs, LLC Disposition and Development Agreement
at this site allowed the City and Agency to secure a second First Class Hotel, the Hard
Rock Hotel at the Prairie Schooner site.
The Developer originally considered Westin, W aloft, or a W Hotel for the Site.
However, the Developer ultimately chose to work with the Morgans Hotel Group and
bring a luxury Mondrian Hotel to Palm Springs.
Morgans Hotel Group is an elite group of distinctive handpicked hotels, most of them
independently branded, from the company's first hotel, the Morgans Hotel in Manhattan,
to The Shore Club in Miami Beach, to The Sanderson in London's West End, to the
Mondrian Hotels in Los Angeles and Scottsdale. The Sanderson in London has been
called "the hippest hotel in the world" by British GQ magazine. Morgans also acquired
the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas last year, The Mondrian Hotel is
expected to generate significantly higher per-room revenue than a Westin or a W Hotel,
at a much higher level of luxury and exclusiveness.
The approved project features 200 hotel rooms and 50 condo-hotel units, with up to 150
condominiums. The Developer has received Preliminary Planned Development District
approval, as well as approval of a Tentative Tract Map. The project will still come back
to the City through the final Planned Development District approval process, as well as
Final Map approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
The terms of the DDA will be that the Developer will pay fair market value for the
Agency's parcel, which was appraised at $4,675,000. One parcel, called the Condo
Parcel, of approximately 1.5 acres, will be conveyed to the Developer but will be paid for
at the end of construction of the Hotel project. That amount is approximately $932,000.
The project's value is estimated at more than $100 million, which will provide
considerable tax increment to Merged Project Area #2 of the Agency. In addition, the
project will generate significant transient occupancy and sales taxes. Most importantly,
the supply of First Class Hotel rooms in proximity and available to the Convention
Center will help ensure the success of that facility, which is critical to the overall tourism
economy of the City.

------------------
WHEREAS, the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Springs,
California ("Agency") is constituted under the Community Redevelopment Law
(California Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et. seq.) to carry out the
purpose as the redevelopment in the City of Palm Springs ("the City"); and
WHEREAS, the Re: Loft Partners Palm Springs, LLC ("Developer') has received
Planned Development District approval from the City of Palm Springs to develop
a First Class Hotel on a 7.8+ acre Agency-owned site under the terms of an
Exclusive Agreement to Negotiate; and
WHEREAS, expansion of the hotel inventory in proximity to the City's Convention
Center, especially in the First Class Hotel category, is an objective of the City
and Agency to increase the vitality of the downtown area, the Convention Center,
and the tourism industry; and
WHEREAS, Section 33430 of the Community Redevelopment Law allows that an
agency may, for purposes of redevelopment, sell, lease, exchange, subdivide,
transfer, assign, pledge, encumber by mortgage or deed of trust, or otherwise
dispose of any real or personal property or any interest in property; and
WHEREAS, the Agency has considered the staff report, and all the information,
testimony and evidence provided during the Agency public meeting on December
19, 2007.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Community Redevelopment
Agency of the City of Palm Springs as follows:
SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated
herein.
SECTION 2, Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), the Community Redevelopment Agency finds as
follows: In connection with the approval of the Planned
Development District application, a Mitigated Negative
Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA, the
State CEQA Guidelines and the City's CFQA procedures.
The Community Redevelopment Agency finds that there are
no changes in the effects of the proposed project or the
circumstances in which it is being carried out, which require
any modification of the Environmental Assessment/Mitigated
Negative Declaration and finds that it adequately discusses
the potential significant environmental effects of the
proposed project (land use, traffic/circulation, parking, air
quality, noise, aesthetics, geology/soils, water quality,
drainage, public utilities, public safety, archaeological/historic
resources and light and glare). The Community
Redevelopment Agency further finds that the Environmental
Assessment/Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects its
independent judgment.
a) The Developer proposes to construct a Mondrian
Hotel consisting of at least 200 hotel rooms and at
least 50 condo-hotel units, and no more than 150
condominiums on the Site. The Developer shall
construct all of the improvements at Developer's sole
cost.
b) The Developer shall pay to Agency the appraised
value for the Agency's parcels, the sum of Four
Million Six Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars
($4,675,000).
c) The Agency finds that the Developer's Project on the
Site is not a public work under the applicable
provisions of California Labor Code Sections 1720 et
seq.
SECTION 3. The Developer is required to make certain street
improvements in keeping with City codes. Such offsite
improvements are imperative to this project and include
reconstructing streets, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks along
Amado Road and Calle Alvarado; undergrounding utilities;
and providing drainage around the project. This project
improves a corner of Merged Project Area #2 and will
increase tax increment to the Agency.
SECTION 4. The Agency hereby finds and determines as follows,
a) The property is currently developed as the Convention
Center North Parking Lot. The Convention Center is
a major community tourism asset and was completed
and dedicated December 31, 1987 and contained
approximately 110,000 square feet. In 1992, the City
completed a 47,000 square foot expansion to the
facilities. The City expanded the Convention Center
once again in 2004-2005, adding another 100,000
square feet.
b) The DDA advances the purposes of the Community
Redevelopment Law by reversing or alleviating any
serious physical, social, and economic burden on the
Community which cannot reasonably be expected to
be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise acting
alone. The sale of the property will facilitate the
development and upgrade of the property, placing the
property in the hands of a first class hotel operator, in
order to develop new transient occupancy and sales
tax revenue, and attract additional commercial
development within the City, increasing the City's tax
base.
c) The DDA advances the purposes of the Community
Redevelopment Law by eliminating blight and
promoting the health, safety and general welfare of
the people of Palm Springs,
SECTION 5. The proposed project is consistent with the
Implementation Plan for Merged Redevelopment Project
Area #2, insofar as this project will increase tax increment
and increase the City's tourist business by developing a
destination resort and creating an architecturally inviting
project adjacent to a significant community tourism asset.
SECTION 6. Based on foregoing reasons, this DDA is hereby approved
and incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 7. The Executive Director of the Agency, or his designee, is
authorized to execute all necessary documents, in a form
approved by the Agency Counsel.

SUMMARY REPORT:
DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN
THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS
("AGENCY')
AND
RE: LOFT PARTNERS PALM SPRINGS, LLC,
A DELAWARE LIMITED LIABILITY CORPORATION
("DEVELOPER")
DECEMBER 2007
INTRODUCTION
Before real property acquired by a Community Redevelopment Agency with tax increment
proceeds may be sold or leased, the transaction must be approved by the Agency Board
in accordance with California Health and Safety Code Section 33433. This Section
requires a "Summary Report", which describes and specifies certain information in regard
to the proposed transaction, be available for public inspection.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED AGREEMENT
Site and Interests to be Conveyed
The Site consists of three (3) parcels of land of approximately 7.8 acres. The Site is
located at northeast corner of Calle Alvarado and Amado Road in the City of Palm
Springs, and is commonly known as the former Convention Center North Parking Lot, and
the Agency has acquired said property by a Grant Deed from the City of Palm Springs.
The Developer owns an adjacent parcel not conveyed by the Agency of approximately 2.7
acres. Collectively, the Agency parcels and the Developer Parcel are referred to as the
Project Site.
Proposed Development
The Developer proposes to construct a First Class Mondrian Hotel and meeting "space
with parking and related uses, including at least two hundred (200) hotel rooms, 50
condominium-hotel units, ten thousand (10,000) square feet of "under-roof' meeting
space, and no more than one hundred fifty (150) condominium units. These activities
will result in the renovation of a portion of the City of Palm Springs and will help expand
and diversify the City's economic base.
CONFORMANCE WITH THE AB 1290 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
The sale of the Agency Property to the Developer is in conformance with the Agency's
Five Year Implementation Plan, as amended.
COST OF AGREEMENT TO THE AGENCY
Financing
The Developer shall pay to Agency the appraised value for the Agency's parcels, the
sum of Four Million Six Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($4,675,000). The
Agency is not providing financial assistance to the Project.
Agency Responsibilities
Besides receiving the purchase price, the Agency will incur other administrative, appraisal,
report and legal casts, in carrying out the Agreement. Most of these costs have been
reimbursed by the Developer through a deposit required as part of the Exclusive
Agreement to Negotiate.
Developer Responsibilities
This Agreement excludes any and all attorneys' fees and costs incurred by Developers in
connection with the drafting, negotiation and implementation of this Agreement.
Agency's other standard terms and conditions, including non-discrimination and
maintenance covenants, and other terms and conditions remain in Disposition and
Development Agreement for Developer.
ELIMINATION OF BLIGHT
The Site is in the Merged Redevelopment Project Area #2. The properly is currently
developed as the Convention Center North Parking Lot. The Convention Center is a
major community tourism asset and was completed and dedicated December 31, 1987
and contained approximately 110,000 square feet. In 1992, the City completed a
47,000 square foot expansion to the facilities. The City expanded the Convention
Center once again in 2004-2005, adding another 100,000 square feet. The City has
made a considerable financial investment in the construction and expansion of the
Convention Center, but recent studies have shown that the Convention Center's ability
to reach its full room-night-generating potential is limited by the quantity of First Class
rooms within a well-lit, walkable radius of the Facility.
Increased transient occupancy taxes can be used for community promotion, thereby
increasing the City's hotel occupancy rates and convention center bookings. This
increase in Convention Center activity will benefit the project areas by drawing
additional hotel and service related development in and around the Facility. It will assist
in eliminating blighting conditions caused by inadequate parking in and around the
Facility and the increased convention and tourism activity will provide additional
opportunities to redevelop underperforming commercial development in the central
areas of the City.

Riverside County, California,
(2) Failure to Maintain Improvements. If Grantee does not
maintain the private and public improvements on the Site to the curbline(s) in the manner
set forth herein and in accordance with the Maintenance Standards, Grantor shall have the
right to maintain such private and/or public improvements, or to contract for the
correction of such deficiencies, after written notice to Grantee. However, prior to taking
any such action, Grantor agrees to notify Grantee in writing if the condition of said
improvements does not conform to the Maintenance Standards and to specify the
deficiencies and the actions required to be taken by Grantee to cure the deficiencies-
Upon notification of any maintenance deficiency, Grantee shall have thirty (30) days
within which to commence to correct, remedy or cure the deficiency and thereafter
diligently and continuously complete correction, remedy or cure of the deficiency. If the
written notification states that the problem is urgent and relates to the public health and
safety, then Grantee shall have forty-eight (48) hours to rectify the problem_
In the event Grantee fails to correct, remedy, or cure or has not
commenced correcting, remedying or curing such maintenance deficiency after
notification and after expiration of any applicable cure period, then Grantor shall have the
right to maintain such improvements. Grantee agrees to pay Grantor such charges and
costs upon demand. Until so paid, the Grantor shall have a lien on the Site for the
amount of such charges or costs, which lien shall be perfected by the recordation of a
"Notice of Claim of Tien" against the Site. Any lien in favor of the Grantor created or
claimed hereunder is expressly made subject and subordinate to any mortgage or deed of
trust made in good faith and for value, recorded as of the date of the recordation of the

the obligation or priority of any such mortgage or deed of trust, unless the mortgagee or
beneficiary thereunder expressly subordinates his interest, of record, to such lien. No lien
in favor of the Grantor created or claimed hereunder shall in any way defeat, invalidate,
or impair the obligation or priority of any lease, sublease or easement unless such
instrument is expressly subordinated to such lien. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that

DDA, sell, transfer, convey, assign or lease the whole or any part of the Site without the
prior written approval of the Grantor. This prohibition shall not apply subsequent to the
issuance of the Certificate of Completion with respect to the improvements upon the
Hotel Parcel. This prohibition shall not be deemed to prevent the granting of easements
or permits to facilitate the development of the Site or to prohibit or restrict the leasing of
any part or parts of a building or structure when said improvements are completed.

conveyed and all improvements subsequently constructed thereon, if prior to the issuance
of a Certificate of Completion pursuant to Section 323 of the DDA, Grantee shall:
a. Fail to commence construction of approved improvements on the

to the common and ordinary meaning of those terns and without
limiting their generality, transfers made to subsidiary or affiliated
entities, and any 'change in ownership" as that term is used from
time to time in California real property taxation law, irrespective of
the fact that the Site may be exempt from such transaction during
the period when owned by Grantor.
This option shall be subordinate and subject to and be limited by and shall
not defeat, render invalid or limit:
a. Any mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument permitted
by the DDA; or
b. Any rights or interests provided in the DDA for the protection of
the bolder of such mortgages, deeds of trust or other security

Site or the improvements thereon; and less

5. The Grantor shall have the additional right, at its option, to terminate the
estate conveyed to the Grantee, to reenter and take possession of the Site with all
improvements thereon and to revest in the Grantor the estate theretofore conveyed to the
Grantee, if after conveyance of title to the Site and prior to issuance of the Certificate of
Completion for the Hotel Parcel, the Grantee shall:
a. Fail to commence construction of approved improvements on the
Site within the time established therefor in the DDA, for any reason
whatsoever. For purposes of this provision, the Grantee shall be
deemed to "continence construction" when and only when the

9 G G 9 7 1
Grantee has received City approval of the final plans and

and construction of improvements provided herein pursuant to
permits issued by the City for the construction of such
improvements; or
b- Once construction has been commenced in accordance with

portion of or any interest in the Site, except for any sale or transfer
that is expressly permitted by the terms of the DDA. For the
purpose of this paragraph, the temps "sell" and "transfer" shall
include, in addition to the common and ordinary meaning of those
terms and without limiting their generality, transfers made to
subsidiary or affiliated entities, and any "change in ownership" as
that term is used fx-oan time to time in California real property
taxation law, irrespective of the fact that the Site may be exempt
from such transaction during the period when owned by Grantor.
The interest created pursuant to this paragraph 5 shall be a "power of
termination" as defined in California Civil Code Section 885-010, and shall be separate
and distinct from Agency's option to repurchase the Site under the same or similar
conditions specified in paragraph 4 above- The Grantor's power of termination shall be
subordinate and subject to and be limited by and shall not defeat, render invalid or limit:
a. Any mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument permitted
by the DDA; or
b. Any rights or interest provided in the DDA for the protection of the
bolder of such mortgages, deeds of trust or other security
instruments.

provided in this paragraph 5, the Grantor shall use its best efforts to resell the Site or part
9456230 35983/0003 Attacbment No.5,Page 6 007 2
thereof as soon and in such manner as the Grantor shall find feasible to a qualified and
responsible party or parties (as determined by the Grantor) who will assame the
obligation of making or completing the improvements, or such other improvements in
their stead, as sball be satisfactory to the Grantor and in accordance with the uses
specified for the Site or part thereof in the Redevelopment Plan. Upon such resale of the
Site, the proceeds thereof shall be applied:
a. First, to reimburse the Grantor for all costs and expenses incurred
by the Grantor, including, but not limited to, salaries to persormel in
connection with the recapture, management and resale of the Site or
part thereof(but less any income derived by the Grantor from the
Site or part thereof in connection with such management); all taxes,
assessments and water and sewer charges with respect to the Site or
part thereof (or, in the event the Site is exempt from taxation or
assessment or such charges during the period of ownership, then
such taxes, assessments or charges as detennined by the County
assessing official as would have been payable if the Site were not
so exempt); any payments made or necessary to be made to
discharge or prevent from attaching or being made any subsequent
encumbrances or liens due to obligations, defaults or acts of the
Grantee; any expenditures made or obligations incurred with
respect to the making or completion of the improvements or any
part thereof on the Site or part thereof; and any amounts otherwise
owing the Grantor by the Grantee; and
b. Second, to reimburse the Grantee the sum of the following: (i) the
cash purchase price for the Site paid by the Grantee; plus (ii) any
cash payments previously made by the Grantee for the development
of the Site and for the improvements existing on the Site at the time
of the reentry and repossession, exclusive of amounts financed; less
(iii) any gains or income withdrawn or made by the Grantee from
the Site or the improvements thereon; and less (iv) the amount of
any unpaid assessments against the Site.
Any balance remaining after such reimbursements shall be retained by the
Grantor as its property.
As set forth above, this section is intended to create and reserve in the
Grantor a "power of termination" under California law, and not a forfeiture. The
terms and provisions of this Section shall be construed in light of the fact that the
Grantor will convey the Site to the Grantee for development pursuant to the
Redevelopment Plan, and not for speculation in undeveloped land.
