SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein. '
SECTION 2. The Developer proposes to construct a new high-end hotel on the 36,900
s.f. parcel at the southwest corner of Cahuilla Road and Tahquitz Canyon
Way, and seeks accommodation through the code to transfer some of the
development rights from the adjacent Winter property, which the Agency
has foregone a legal opportunity to purchase.
SECTION 3. The Agency proposes,through this Owner Participation Agreement,to help
the Owner facilitate the development of a 48-rom room hotel in style and
quality similar to a "W" hotel. The project still needs to go through the
Planning approval process. The Owner, in turn, shall commit to a
development schedule, as well as a maximum development "envelope".
Other requirements shall be placed on the project by the City in the
entitlement process, including, but not limited to, a parking covenant to run
with the land on the Owner's property at the Desert Fashion Plaza. The
Agency shall obtain a consent and release of the maximum development
envelope from the neighboring property owners, Casa Cody. The
agreement shall have a schedule of three (3) years.
SECTION 4. The Agency does hereby find and determine as follows:
(a) The Owner's property was originally developed in the 1920's
or 1930's and by the early 1980's was razed and has
remained vacant for over 20 years; the Winter property was
purchased by the Winter family in the 1930's and has been
in family ownerships for nearly 70 years; the Winter family
desires to see the home preserved and has opted to place
a preservation covenant on the property,severely restricting
what a buyer may do with the property, which has caused
the Owner and Agency to seek other avenues for the
development of a hotel.
(b) The OPA effectuates the purposes of the Community
Redevelopment Law by reversing or alleviating any serious
physical, social, and economic burden of the Community
which cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or
alleviated by private enterprise acting alone, in that the OPA
will facilitate the redevelopment of the hotel site by causing
the reconstruction and upgrade of the property and locating
at the property a first class hotel, in order to increase
transient occupancy tax revenue and attract additional high-
end hotel and retail development within the City and
increase the City's tax base.
(c) The OPA effectuates the purposes of the Community '
Redevelopment Law as it is intended to eliminate blight and
promote the health,safety and general welfare of the people
of Palm Springs.
C
Resolution 1253
Page 3
SECTION S. The proposed project is consistent with the Amended and Restated
Redevelopment Plan for Merged Area#1, insofar as this project will
increase tax increment and will expand hotel opportunities and
transient occupancy tax. It will increase the City's commercial
sector by locating a high-end boutique hotel at the boundary of the
City's downtown and Tennis Club area, in order to capture ever
more affluent visitors to the downtown and create additional retail
demand in Palm Springs.
SECTION 6. Based on foregoing reasons, this OPA is hereby approved and
incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 7. The Chairman of the Agency is authorized to execute all necessary
documents, in a form approved by the Agency Counsel.

financing from the State MHP program, HOME funds, and the
Agency. The project has been pre-bid and the developer is finalizing
easements, title exceptions, and rights-of-way. Additionally, the
Agency committed an additional $350,000 to cover the additional cost
of escalating lumber prices. The project begins construction in late
calendar year 2004. The goal was to have started construction in the
2003-04 year.
• Single Family Rehab Program. Staff closed out the final home repairs
in this program, which expended approximately $900,000 over three
fiscal years. The goal was to finish the program in 2003-04.
' • Santiago Sunrise Mobile Home Park. The Agency approved a
Disposition and Development Agreement with a non-profit purchaser
of the park, contributing the underlying fee interest in the land at a
value of $392,000. In addition, the City approved a conduit Mortgage
Revenue Bond on behalf of the non-profit to purchase and upgrade
the park. The goal was to approve the DDA and bond issue in 2003-
04.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City

SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein.
R1263
Page 2 '
SECTION 2. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the
Community Redevelopment Agency finds as follows:
a) In connection with the approval of the OPA, a Mitigated
Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with
CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines and the City's CEQA
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.
SECTION 3. This project improves a blighted site in Merged Project Area #1 (the
Central Business District Redevelopment Project Area) and will increase
tax increment to the Agency and the City.
SECTION 6. The Agency does hereby find and determine as follows:
(a) The property was originally developed in the 1930's as an
automobile service station but declined in economic value,
and was demolished in the 1980's. It has been vacant for
the past two decades. The Agency acquired the parcel for
development purposes and entered an exchange
agreement with Pirozzi to place the developable portion in
private hands and to develop public parking on Belardo
Road.
(b) The OPA effectuates the purposes of the Community
Redevelopment Law by reversing or alleviating any serious
physical, social, and economic burden of the Community
which cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or
alleviated by private enterprise acting alone, in that the
assistance will facilitate the redevelopment and operation
retail buildings by causing the construction and upgrade of
the property, placing the property in the hands of a first
class operator, in order to maintain existing sales tax
revenue and attract additional commercial development
within the City and increase the City's tax base. '
R1263
Page 3
(c) The OPA effectuates the purposes of the Community
Redevelopment Law as it is intended to eliminate blight
and promote the health, safety and general welfare of the
people of Palm Springs.
SECTION 8. The proposed project is consistent with the Implementation Plan
for this area, insofar as this project will increase tax increment and
will expand commercial opportunities in a block that has seen
significantly less private investment than other areas of the
downtown. It will increase the City's tourist business by expanding
unique dining opportunities and creating an architecturally inviting
project on a previously blighted property on the City's main
thoroughfare.
SECTION 9. Based on foregoing reasons, this OPA is hereby approved and
incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 10. The Chairman of the Agency, and/or his designee, is authorized to
execute all necessary documents, in a form approved by the
Agency Counsel.

COMMERCIAL PROJECT IN THE 300 BLOCK OF
NORTH PALM CANYON DRIVE IN MERGED
PROJECT AREA#1. A0487C
---------------------
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 Agency entered an exchange agreement on June 12, 1997 with Vincent J.

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.

R1263
Page 2 '
SECTION 2. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the
Community Redevelopment Agency finds as follows:
a) In connection with the approval of the OPA, a Mitigated
Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with
CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines and the City's CEQA
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.
SECTION 3. This project improves a blighted site in Merged Project Area #1 (the
Central Business District Redevelopment Project Area) and will increase '
tax increment to the Agency and the City.
SECTION 6. The Agency does hereby find and determine as follows:
(a) The property was originally developed in the 1930's as an
automobile service station but declined in economic value,
and was demolished in the 1980's. It has been vacant for
the past two decades. The Agency acquired the parcel for
development purposes and entered an exchange
agreement with Piroai to place the developable portion in
private hands and to develop public parking on Belardo
Road.
(b) The OPA effectuates the purposes of the Community
Redevelopment Law by reversing or alleviating any serious
physical, social, and eccnomic burden of the Community
which cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or
alleviated by private enterprise acting alone, in that the
assistance will facilitate the redevelopment and operation
retail buildings by causing the construction and upgrade of
the property, placing the property in the hands of a first
class operator, in order to maintain existing sales tax
revenue and attract additional commercial development
within the City and increase the City's tax base. '
R1263
' Page 3
(c) The OPA effectuates the purposes of the Community
Redevelopment Law as it is intended to eliminate blight
and promote the health, safety and general welfare of the
people of Palm Springs.
SECTION 8. The proposed project is consistent with the Implementation Plan
for this area, insofar as this project will increase tax increment and
will expand commercial opportunities in a block that has seen
significantly less private investment than other areas of the
downtown. It will increase the City's tourist business by expanding
unique dining opportunities and creating an architecturally inviting
project on a previously blighted property on the City's main
thoroughfare.
SECTION 9. Based on foregoing reasons, this OPA is hereby approved and
incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 10. The Chairman of the Agency, and/or his designee, is authorized to
execute all necessary documents, in a form approved by the
Agency Counsel.

(24) months ("Grace Period"). The ineligible tenant shall pay rent equal
to 30% of his gross income during the Grace Period. If the ineligible
