HomeMy WebLinkAbout5/1/2002 - STAFF REPORTS (13) Date: May 1, 2002 To: City Council From: Director of Planning & Building CASE 5.0901-PD-275 - AN APPLICATION BY THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS FOR A GENERAL PLAN POLICYAMENDMENTADDING SPECIAL STREETSECTIONS IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT, ADOPTING A SPECIAL STREET SECTION FOR THE PROJECT VICINITY, AND A PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (PD NO. 275) FOR A FOUR- LEVEL, UP TO 390 PARKING SPACE, PUBLIC PARKING STRUCTURE, LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF INDIAN CANYON DRIVE AND BARISTO ROAD, C-B-D ZONE, SECTION 15. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve revisions to General Plan Policy 7.1.5 to adopt a special street section in the Central Business District, and a Preliminary and Final Planned Development District for a site plan and downtown parking structure, located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Indian Canyon Drive and Baristo Road, subject to the conditions outlined in the attached Resolution. SUMMARY The Planning Commission recommends approval of the proposed General Plan Amendments and Planned Development District for the construction of a downtown parking structure. As proposed, the parking structure will have up to 390 parking spaces, located within a 3 and 4 story parking structure. The project meets General Plan policies to create public and private partnerships to create parking facilities within the C-B-D. The Planning Commission, at its April 24, 2002 meeting, by a 6-0-1 vote, recommended approval of the filing of a Negative Declaration and adoption of the Resolutions for the General Plan Amendment and Planned Development District. The only concern that was raised during the hearing was in regards to the storm drain. Beyond the storm drain issue, there was no opposition to the project. BACKGROUND The City of Palm Springs is proposing to design,construct,operate,and maintain a four-level,up to 390 parking space, public parking structure ("structure") on approximately 1.04 acres. The structure is proposed to be developed on 6 parcels. The project site is located west of Indian Canyon Drive, immediately northwest of the intersection of Indian Canyon Drive and Baristo Road (reference Attachments 1 and 2 of the Environmental Assessment). The project objective for the structure is to fulfill policy 3.14.1.7 of the General Plan, which states, "Downtown merchants and property owners, and the City, are encouraged to coordinate: acquisition, construction and/or maintenance of public parking facilities". Additionally,General Plan policy 3.14.2(a) states, "Downtown merchants, property owners, and the City, are encouraged to coordinate revenue raising for: the acquisition, construction, or maintenance of parking facilities."The City, merchants and property owners,with one exception, have developed a strong partnership to facilitate land acquisition, I1 parking structure plans, and a long term commitment to utilize the parking structure. The proposed parking structure is intended to address a shared concern regarding inadequate parking in the C-B-D. The City contracted with Walker Parking Consultants to conduct a study of potential sites and locations for parking structures of 3-4 levels before deciding on the current site. In addition, a study conducted by Downtown Development Director Jerry Ogburn showed that there is a 400-space parking deficit in the Central Business District. A survey of all existing parking lots in the downtown area is attached. The proposed parking structure seeks to maximize the number of parking spaces and achieve General Plan goals, which call for public/private partnerships in coordinating downtown parking. Due to site configuration, lot width, lot depth, parking structure fixed-design requirements, and overall parking needs in this area, this public parking structure has been designed to maximize the number of parking spaces. The Planned Development District application proposes to reduce certain property development standards including, but not limited to, building setbacks, open space requirements,floor area ratio, building height for a limited portion of the structure, and parking area improvements. The proposed 123,994 square foot parking structure will be approximately 25 feet in height above the sidewalk elevation, and approximately 35 feet in height at the highest portion of the west elevation. Shade canopies will be located on the upper deck on the Indian Canyon Drive and Baristo Road frontages. These amenities will be 10 feet in height. It is anticipated that the ground level will be reserved parking for the existing commercial operations that are providing land for the structure. The second level will be used for general parking and the third and fourth levels will be controlled access areas utilized for employee parking. Handicapped parking will be provided on the ground level. Please refer to Environmental Assessment Attachments 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 for proposed preliminary improvement plans. Final plans will be presented at the City Council meeting. In order to minimize disruption to existing businesses and complete the project on time, construction will be scheduled during the summer months, with expanded construction hours. Concrete pours will need to commence at 2:00 a.m., one to two days per week, to ensure structural integrity. All work will stop in the evenings and no holiday or weekend work is anticipated. Please refer to the Environmental Assessment for additional information. The structure will be operational 24-hours a day, with peak demand anticipated during the PM peak hours (6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.). Employees parking in the structure are anticipated to arrive and depart in two distinct shifts. The day shift will be from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and the night shift will be from 5:00 p.m. to 12:00 midnight. Primary vehicular and pedestrian access to the structure will be from Baristo Road, which will consist of one ingress and one egress. A secondary exit will be available off of Indian Canyon Drive,which will consist of an exit only (one lane). A secondary entry will be located at the northwest end of the structure(one lane). The structure is designed so that entry and exit kiosks can be added in the future. The sidewalk, curb and gutter along Indian Canyon Road will be relocated approximately 8-feet to the east, into an area where there is currently on-street parking. Existing palm trees will be relocated. The structure will be built on parcels previously owned by five different property owners. The City is in the process of acquiring all five parcels. There are 53 existing parking spaces on the project site. Implementation of this project will result in the loss of two apartment rental units. The residents will be provided relocation assistance from the City as part of this project. I )w4rt6 A sign program is incorporated into the proposed parking structure which will identify the parking structure and provide signage for the businesses which previously had signs located on Indian Canyon Drive. These businesses, a former bank, and three restaurants will have sign space facing Indian Canyon Drive. This space has been designed into the parking structure. Additionally, there will be several display panels, which will allow additional community and public information displays facing Indian Canyon Drive.

This amendment will allow the road section on Indian Canyon Drive to be constructed with the following modifications: loss of parking lane; maintain current number of travel lanes. A copy of the proposed street section is provided as Attachment 8 of the Environmental Assessment and the text of the proposed General Plan Amendment is provided as Attachment 9. ANALYSIS The proposed project is a permitted use within the C-B-D zone. The structure is consistent with existing uses in the vicinity,which include various commercial and professional businesses and a parking area. The subject property is limited in size, but its location is ideally suited for a parking structure to serve existing uses which do not have sufficient parking.

Because the structure does not exceed 35 feet in height, it is not considered a high-rise building as defined in section 94.04.00 of the zoning ordinance. The structure will be constructed with reinforced concrete to be painted in earth tones to blend with the surrounding mountains. Displayareas forthe adjacent businesses will be provided on the east elevation and a main entry feature is proposed at the south entrance. This feature will be constructed of steel and will be painted"Palm Springs Green"to match existing streetlight colors. Other trim on the structure will also be painted green. Cantilevered shade structures, approximately 17'x17' in dimension will be located on the third level along Indian Canyon Drive and Baristo Road. These shade structures are proposed to be constructed of canvas and will add architectural variety to the structure. The structure will also have an electrical room, stairways, storage rooms, and 3 elevators. While the structure has been designed to be consistent with the City of Palm Springs design requirements, it does not comply with the zoning ordinance in the areas of setbacks, open space, parking dimensions, and lighting. The proposed setbacks will be 1 foot on Indian Canyon Drive, zero lot line on Baristo Road, 22 feet on the north side, and 5 feet on the south side. Open space requirements and parking dimensions will require some flexibility due to the nature of parking structures requiring a large number of spaces to fit into a confined environment. The proposed lighting is intended to enhance the interior space of the parking structure and follows photometric levels equal to those used at similar structures. Two lighting alternatives are being evaluated. If the canvas shade structures are included in the final development plans,the lighting shall be directed upward into the canvas to produce indirect lighting of the roof area. Additional high pressure sodium pole fixtures could be used if the roof lighting needs to be enhanced. The second alternative is a proposal to use light fixtures, approximately 25' in height, in the middle portion of the structure. These light fixtures will not be visible within 'I 50'of the site and would be visible from greater distances. In all cases, lighting fixtures shall be glare free high quality lighting products that produce even ( 164 illumination, reduce hot spots, and shield the lamp source from direct view. The lighting plans are not finalized at this time and were not specifically approved by the Planning Commission. The difficulty in complying with the zoning requirements is due to the attempt to construct a parking structure following design modules on a narrow, rectangular-shaped site area enveloped by existing structures and streets. The proposed location for the parking structure has a width of approximately 146 feet and a length of approximately 310 feet for an area of 1.04 acres. The location was chosen because of the capability to handle the traffic generated by the parking structure. Walker Parking Consultants was asked to study other potential sites, but the alternatives proved to have major disadvantages,namely, site acquisition and insufficient number of parking spaces. With the proposed site, the City was able to negotiate satisfactory agreements with private landowners, except one, and maximize the number of parking spaces with the design. Maximizing the number of parking spaces has resulted in the design not complying with some sections of the zoning ordinance. However, the justification is that the benefits will far outweigh the costs in terms of resolving the parking situation in the downtown. A larger parking structure should be able to make a greater impact in alleviating the downtown parking problem instead of piecemeal improvements to current City-owned parking lots. The structure was also designed to preserve views, hence, the 3 story elevation on the Baristo and Indian Canyon frontages. Only a small portion of the floor area will be dedicated for the &I deck. To achieve the preservation of views, it was necessary to build the structure as close to the property lines as possible. If the structure were built entirely to the specifications in the zoning ordinance,the building height would be much higher in order to fit up to 390 parking spaces. The proposed design works as a more efficient structure in terms of vehicle movement and energy consumption (in comparison with the current uses). To address concerns regarding traffic queuing during peak hours, an analysis by Walker Parking Consultants of the peak hour arrival/departure traffic volume, and ingress/egress capacity for the proposed structured was performed. The study showed that the design of the parking structure entrances and exits provide adequate traffic capacity for the anticipated peak hour traffic volume with little or no queuing either inside the garage or on the adjacent streets. The revision to General Plan Policy 7.1.5. is intended to accommodate the proposed special street section required for the parking structure. The amendment would add the ability for Planning Commission and/or City Council to modify cross-section standards within the downtown to facilitate traffic calming and public parking facilities, with right-of-way widths to be noted on the circulation plan. Even with the revision to General Plan policy, the proposed structure has no potential to conflict with either the General Plan land uses or permitted uses in the Zoning Ordinance. II ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND NOTIFICATION An Initial Study was prepared by staff for the parking structure. In completing the Environmental Checklist, staff found that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because of the mitigation measures described in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. All property owners within four hundred (400) feet of the subject site have been notified. As of the writing of this report, staff has not received any correspondence from adjacent property owners or the general public. Director af Planning and Building City Manager ATTACHMENTS: 1.

CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND BUILDING INITIAL STUDY Application No(s): Case No 5.0901-PDD 275, City of Palm Springs proposes to construct a Downtown Parking Structure and related General Plan amendments Date of Completed Application: Draft design plans completed at City direction, 2/19/02 Name of Applicant: City of Palm Springs Project Description and Location: The City of Palm Springs is proposing to design, construct and maintain a four-level, 390 parking space, public parking structure ("structure") on approximately 1.36 acres. The project title is"Palm Springs, CA, Parking Structure Block 28, Palm Springs Town Site." The structure is proposed to be developed on 7 parcels, 3 of which are portions of parcels. The project site is located west of Indian Canyon Drive, immediately northwest of the intersection of Indian Canyon Drive and Baristo Road (reference Attachment 1 Site Location and Attachment 2 Site Plan). This Planned Development District application is for a proposed parking structure to serve the parking needs of the C-B-D Zone. Due to site configuration, lot width, lot depth, parking structure fixed-design requirements, and overall parking needs in this area, this public parking structure has been designed to maximize the number of parking spaces. The Planned Development District request includes a request to reduce certain C-B-D property development standard including, but not limited to, building setbacks, open space,floor area ratio,building height(limited portion of the structure),and certain parking area improvements. The subject property is limited in :size, but its location is ideally suited for a parking structure which provides parking to existing uses which do not have sufficient parking. The project objective for this parking structure is to fulfill policy 3.14.1.7 of the General Plan, which states "Acquisition, construction and/or maintenance of public parking facilities". Additionally, policy 3.14.2(a) 'Downtown merchants, property owners, and the City, are encouraged to coordinate revenue raising for: the acquisition, construction, or maintenance of parking facilities;" The City, merchants and property owners, with one exception, have developed a strong public partnership to facilitate land acquisition, parking structure plans, and a long term commitment to utilize the parking structure. The proposed parking structure is intended to meet a public/private partnership to address inadequate parking space in the C-B-D. The proposed 123,994 square foot parking structure will be approximately 25 feet in height above the sidewalk elevation, and approximately 35 feet in height at the highest portion of the west elevation. It is anticipated that the ground level will be reserved parking for the existing commercial operations that are providing land for the structure. The second level will be used for general parking and the third and fourth levels will be utilized for employee parking, which will be a controlled access parking area. Handicapped parking will be provided on the ground level. Please refer to Attachments 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 for proposed improvement plans. Primary vehicular and pedestrian access to the structure will be from Baristo Road,which will consist of one ingress, one egress and one reversible lane. A secondary exit will be available off of Indian Canyon Drive, which will consist of an exit only (one lane). A secondary entry will be located at the north end of the structure (one lane). The sidewalk, curb and gutter -1- i I Abo along Indian Canyon Road will be relocated approximately 8-feet to the east, into an area where there is currently on-street parking. Existing palm trees will be relocated. The structure will be constructed of reinforced concrete that will be painted in earth tones to blend with the surrounding mountains. Display areas/showcasesforthe adjacent businesses will be provided on the east elevation. A main entry feature is proposed at the south entrance. This feature will be constructed of steel and will be painted"Palm Springs Green" to match existing streetlight colors. Other trim on the structure will also be painted green. Cantilevered shade structures, approximately 17'xl Tin dimension will be located on the third level along Indian Canyon Drive and Baristo Road. These shade structures are proposed to be constructed of canvas and will add architectural variety to the structure. The structure has been designed to be consistent with the City of Palm Springs design requirements. The structure will be built on parcels previously owned by five different property owners. The City is in the process of acquiring all five parcels. There is a potential that condemnation procedures may be required on two of the parcels (parcel Al and D). If acquisition of property (the vacant bank parking lot, the saloon, and two apartments) through condemnation is required,this action will be encompassed in the impact evaluation presented in this document. Any tenants in the apartments will be provided relocation assistance by the City as part of this project. The structure will be operational 24-hours a day, with peak demand anticipated during the PM peak hours (6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.). Employees parking in the structure are anticipated to arrive and depart in two distinct shifts. The day shift will be from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and the night shift will be from 5:00 p.m. to 12:00 midnight. The project objective for this structure is simple and straight-forward,to provide additional parking in an area that currently has a shortage of parking space. The structure will also have an electrical room, stairways, storage rooms, and 3 elevators. In order to accommodate the proposed special street section required for the parking structure on Indian Canyon Drive, a minor revision of the General Plan Policy text for Policy 7.1.5, regarding street cross-section standards, will be considered in conjunction with City review and decision regarding the proposed parking structure. This amendment will allow the road section on Indian Canyon Drive to be constructed with the following modifications: loss of parking lane; maintain current number of travel lanes. A copy of the proposed street section is provided as Attachment 8 to this document. The text of the proposed General Plan Amendment is provided at Attachment 9 to this document. Several surface parking lots and existing buildings (a bar, office and 3 apartments) currently exist on the project site. There are 53 existing parking spaces on the project site. The parking lot, parking lot landscaping (including several mature trees), and the buildings will be removed to prepare the site for construction. In addition, some access vaults, sewer lines and grease traps will need to be relocated on-site. The sewer line will be relocated under the service drive, which is proposed to be between 22 and 24 feet in width or relocated to the service driveway on the west side of the site. All utilities will be relocated so that service disruption, if any, will be minimized. Demolition of the structures will take approximately two weeks once any hazardous materials are removed (if any), Demolition materials will removed from the project site and either disposed of at a licensed landfill or recycled where feasible. Implementation of this project will result in the loss of two apartment rental units. As noted above, the residents will be provided relocation assistance from the City. Grading activities are anticipated to last up to 6 weeks in duration. The site is expected to yield a net balance of cut and fill. Over excavation will occur in the areas where the building's structure is constructed. Grading activities will be performed in accordance with City of Palm Springs standards and according to recommendations contained within the Geotechnical Investigation prepared for the project. Noise will be generated by the project during the short-term construction phase, as well as the long-term, operational phase of the project. -2- 1145 Potential staging areas include a parking area to the south of the project site, south of Baristo Road, a vacant lot to the east, on the east side of Indian Canyon Road, or within Baristo Road between South Palm Canyon Drive and Indian Canyon Drive. A partial street closure is being considered, which would keep on east bound lane open to serve businesses on the southwest corner of Indian and Baristo. A traffic control plan for adjacent roads will be required for all phases of the development. During project construction, the existing onsite parking spaces will be displaced. Project construction is proposed for summer and fall when parking demands are lower. The construction schedule for the project is expected to be from June 01, 2002 to November 2002. This schedule is required to construct the structure during summer months when disruption to existing business will be minimized. To complete the project on time, the contractor will need to have extended construction hours. During certain stages of construction, the hours of construction will be from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The proposed concrete structure will require that concrete pours will need to commence as early as 2:00 a.m. on one to two clays per week. During hot summer months, the volume of concrete which must be poured and the need to adequately work the concrete cannot be completed during regular work hours without substantial risk that concrete will set prior to proper placement. Weekend and holiday work is not anticipated. All work will cease during evenings. As a result of the need to complete the project schedule and avoid serious concrete problems, the City's Ordinances regarding construction hours (Section 11.74.041 and Chapter 8.04.200) will be suspended for this project. Construction activities are anticipated to take up to six months. Construction activities will be in accordance with City of Palm Springs standards, as well as the applicable portions of the latest adopted edition of the California Building Standards, including, but not limited to the California Plumbing Code and the California Fire Code.

LAND USE PLANNING Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Would the proposal: a) Conflict with general plan designation or zoning? ❑ ❑ ❑ b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans ❑ ❑ ❑ or policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project? c) Be incompatible with existing land use in ❑ ❑ ❑ the vicinity? d) Affect agricultural resources or operations ❑ ❑ ❑ (e.g. impacts to soils or farmlands, or impacts from incompatible land uses)? e) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of ❑ ❑ ❑ an established community(including low-income or minority community)? 1.a NO IMPACT. The proposed parking structure is a permitted use within the CBD land use district and is being proposed to provide adequate parking to support the commercial activities within downtown commercial area. The proposed parking structure has no potential to conflict with either the general plan orzoning designations,so no adverse conflicts can occurfrom implementing the proposed project. General Plan policies encourage private-public partnerships to acquire sites and construct and operate parking structures. All but two parcels have been cooperatively acquired by the City in exchange for use of parking spaces in the structure. The structure is located within an impacted block of the CBD. 1.b NO IMPACT. The installation and operation of the proposed parking structure is a redevelopment, i.e. reuse, project within an already highly urbanized portion of the City of Palm Springs. No sensitive natural resources can exist at the site location, so no potential conflicts can occur for environmental plans for such resources. For water quality issues, the project site must implement erosion control measures and meet the City's requirements for storm water discharges. From an air quality standpoint the parking structure enhances parking in the downtown commercial area which will reduce trip miles and searching for parking spaces in this highly congested area. Thus, this project can reduce air emissions within the City and will be compatible with regional air quality management programs. 1.c LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT Parking is an activity that is consistent with and inherently compatible with commercial uses because it is an essential support use for commercial activity. The Downtown Central Business District has a shortage of parking for employees and customers. Therefore, the installation of a parking structure that will substantially enhance available parking capacity in the project area is a compatible use for the project area. Construction of the parking structure at the proposed location will remove existing structures, including two apartment units, an office and a bar. The loss of these structures and uses is considered a less than significant impact to the existing land uses based on the availability of sufficient rental units within the City and other buildings to absorb the office and restaurant uses, if the owners desire to continue these uses. Relocation assistance is part of this project and, therefore, is not required to be implemented as a mitigation measure. Based on the analysis of incompatibility presented above, the proposed project is not forecast to cause significant adverse incompatibility with the existing land uses onsite and in the project area. Note that the parking structure is separated from the Las Brisas Hotel, located east of the project site, by Indian Canyon Drive. An evaluation of the height of the parking structure was conducted by the City Planning Department and it was determined that the views to the mountains west of the site are maintained. Therefore,no significant incompatibility will occur between the proposed structure and the hotel. 1.d NO IMPACT. The project site is currently occupied by a mix of urban uses and structures. There are not agricultural resources on the property and the soils are not suitable for such uses. No adverse impact is forecast to occur from implementation of the proposed project l 1.e NO IMPACT. The project site occupies the northwest corner of Baristo Road and Indian Canyon Drive. The whole block,and surrounding project area, contain urban development, primarily commercial and office businesses. This structure is too small to disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established community. Pedestrian access is provided on all street frontages and adjacent to the service driveway. It is an essential infrastructure facility that will enhance the Downtown Central Business District ability to function and fulfill its role as the commercial hub of the City,including support parking for employees, local customers and tourists that utilize this District. No potential for significant disruption or division of the City's physical arrangement can be caused by implementing the proposed parking structure. Potentially Potentially Sign(flcant Less Than Item Slgnifcenl Unless Mdigalion Significant No 2. POPULATION AND HOUSING Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Would the proposal: a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local ❑ ❑ ❑ population projections? b) Induce substantial growth in an area either ❑ ❑ Cl directly or indirectly (e.g. through projects in an undeveloped area or extension or major infrastructure)? c) Displace existing housing, especially ❑ ❑ ❑ affordable housing? 2.a-b NO IMPACT. The proposed parking structure will not create housing and has no potential to directly or indirectly contribute to an exceedance of regional or local population projections. The proposed structure would be located in downtown Palm Springs and will not require the extension of major infrastructure which could contribute to growth inducing impact. The proposed project is designed to accommodate the existing unmet parking needs of existing downtown offices and businesses. No adverse impact can be identified and no mitigation is required. c. The proposed parking structure would be located on parcels owned by five different property owners. Implementation of this project will result in the loss of three apartment rental units. The residents will be relocated with assistance from the City of Palm Springs. According to Table III-2 of the General Plan, there were more than 18,000 multi-family residential units in the City in 1988. The loss of three rental units is not considered significant under CEQA. Relocation assistance from the City is considered adequate mitigation to reduce impacts to effected residences to less than significant level. As noted above, since the relocation assistance is being implemented as part of the proposed project, it does not require a mitigation measure to ensure its implementation.

The project site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone and no known fault occurs on the project site. As the region's faults have been well delineated according to the project Geotechnical Report, the site has been surveyed for faults and fault rupture is most likely to occur along existing fault lines,fault rupture is unlikely to occur on the site. No mitigation is required. 3.b LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT. The project site is located within a seismically active area of Southern California subject to significant ground shaking. If approved, the project will be required to comply with the California Building Code which includes requirements for seismic safety construction. This is a mandatory and no mitigation is required. 3.c NO IMPACT. The project site is not within a Riverside County or City of Palm Springs liquefaction study zone. Geotechnical investigation of the site did not encounter free groundwater and concluded that the groundwater level at the site is probably below 200 feet. Liquefaction generally occurs on sites with groundwater levels at 50 feet or shallower beneath the surface. Therefore, the site has low potential for liquefaction to occur and exposure to this and related seismic hazards is not forecast to significant and adverse for this project. No mitigation is required. 3.d NO IMPACT. Due to the project area's distance from the ocean and the site elevation, there is no potential for a tsunami. The project area is not located near a large surface water body and there is no potential for inundation by seiche. No known active volcanos occur near the project area. Neither the City's General Plan nor the Geotechnical Report indication any threat to the project area from volcanic activity. No mitigation is required. 3.e NO IMPACT. The project site is generally flat and thus, the Geotechnical Report concluded that potential for landslides or mudflows to impact the site is very low. No mitigation is required. 3.f POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT UNLESS MITIGATION INCORPORATED. According to the Geotechnical Report, there is potential for wind erosion, as the site lies within a recognized blow sand hazard area. Mitigation measures required in Section 5.Air Quality are considered sufficient to reduce potential impacts from wind erosion to a less than significant level. The consolidation test conducted as part of the site geotechnical evaluation indicates the potential for soils on the site to collapse upon wetting is slight. The following mitigation measure is recommended to reduce potentially significant impacts from soil collapse. -8- 1141 If Site preparation will include recornpaction of a zone beneath the building pads in accordance with recommendations of the Geotechniical Report. Implementation of this measure will ensure that soils on the site will not collapse due to wetting. 3.g NO IMPACT. The soil and sediment underlying project site has been compacted in support of previous development and the project does not propose any activities that would cause subsidence at the project site. No mitigation is required. 3.h NO IMPACT. According to the Geotechnical Report, the soils on the site are considered to have very low potential for expansion. No mitigation is required. 3.1 NO IMPACT. No unique geologic or physical features have been identified on the site. No mitigation is required. 3 J NO IMPACT.

The subject site for which the parking structure is contemplated is currently developed with structures, paving and landscaping. Thus, the project site already has a high percentage of impervious cover. The installation of the parking structure may cause a slight reduction in the site's absorption rate, but this change is minor and effectively unmeasurable when compared with the existing condition. The surface runoff from the property is conveyed to the adjacent street section and drainage system and this drainage pattern will remain unchanged from implementation of the proposed project. Due to the size of the project, and the fact that the existing impervious cover is high, it is not anticipated that the amount of surface runoff will be measurably 104 / 7 increased or cause a negative impact upon surrounding roadways and properties. Therefore, with compliance with usual City drainage requirements, impacts resulting from changes in surface runoff is forecast to be less than significant. 4.b NO IMPACT. Based on a review of the FEMA panels and Figure 5.19 of the General Plan EIR, the project site is not exposed to significant flood hazards. No mitigation is required. 4.c POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT UNLESS MITIGATION INCORPORATED. The project site is developed and currently generates runoff that can carry non-point source urban water pollutants, particularly petroleum related substances. The proposed parking structure will not alter the potential for the project site to continue to generate such discharges of urban pollutants. However, with more vehicles concentrated in a smaller area, runoff from the parking structure could contain greater amounts of petroleum products related to vehicle operations and accidents.The following mitigation measure shall be implemented to control this potential adverse operations water quality impact: 4.c.1 The City shall equip the parkingg structure with a treatment system forwater runoff that will reduce the petroleum hydrocarbon pollutants by90%prior to release to the storm runoff system. Also, during construction some grease traps and sewer facilities are proposed to be removed. Accidental release of these materials could degrade surface water quality. The following mitigation measure shall be implemented to control this potential adverse construction water quality impact. 4.c.2 The City shall implements storm water pollution prevention plan(SWPPP)thatwill include an accidental release response program thatwill accomplish the following:should an accidental spill occur,the spilled material and any contaminatedsoil,sediment or other material shall be collected and removed from the site;this material shall be disposed of at an appropriately licensed disposal or recycling facility forthe spilled material;the contaminated area shall be cleaned to background conditions for the spilled material,or to regulatory thresholds for the spilled material in place at the time of the spill. 4.d NO IMPACT. As described underissue4.c,the proposed projectis notforecastito increase the volume of runoff from the project site by a measurable amount. Therefore, no significant changes in the amount of surface water can occur from implementing the proposed project. No mitigation is required. 4.e NO IMPACT. The project will not alter storm runoff flows or the direction of such flows. All stormwater will continue to be delivered to the adjacent street sections and City drainage system for the project area. No mitigation is required. 4.f NO IMPACT. The project will not intercept the groundwater which is estimated to be 200 feet deep at the project site, and it does not have any activities that would directly pump or utilize the groundwater table beneath the project site. Indirect groundwater utilization by the project will be reduced compared to the existing uses because no direct consumption (apartments, restaurants, etc.) will occur and landscaping will be comparable to the existing landscape plantings with occur on the project site. No mitigation is required. 4.g NO IMPACT. Since the project will not directly intercept the groundwater table and will reduce overall water consumption at the site, no potential exists to alter the rate or direction of groundwater flow. No mitigation is required. 4.h LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT. The only potential activity with potential to degrade groundwater quality is the discharge of surface runoff during rainfall events. Since mitigation is required to control the concentration of pollutants in the surface water discharge, no potential exists for such discharges to cause groundwater quality impact. No mitigation is required. 41 NO IMPACT. The proposed project is not forecast to have any direct or indirect effect on groundwater for the reasons outlined above. Overall site consumption of water will be reduced by implementing the proposed project. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project cannot cause a substantial reduction in the amount of groundwater available for public water supplies. No mitigation is required. 4.j NO IMPACT.

As a result, the project will also be consistent with the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Air Quality Management Plan for the Coachella Valley. At the present time,the Coachella Valley is designated as a non-attainment area for the federal ozone and PMtg(particulates with a diameter of less than ten microns) national ambient air quality standards. The project has three potential sources of air emissions: demolition of existing structures; grading and construction of new structures; and operational emissions. Demolition of the existing structures will involve the apartment, restaurant and office which comprise less than 40,000 square feet of structure, and approximately 400.000 cubic feet of space at a maximum. This amount of structure is below the quarterly threshold of significance for demolition given in Table 6-3 of the SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Handbook(1993), which is 23.214,000 cubic feet. The daily demolition activity will be approximately 40,000 cubic feet, based on a ten day demolition schedule. This cubic footage of demolition is substantially less than the daily demolition threshold of significance, which is 357,138 cubic feet. The SCAQMD Handbook threshold for grading is 177 acres per quarter, or about five acres per day. The proposed project grading is less than two acres; which is below the threshold of significance for this activity. The parking structure will not induce additional trips once it is in operation. It will accommodate the same traffic as presently occurs on the local road system. This project should reduce the amount of driving around to find a parking place and the result is a reduction in vehicle miles traveled and a reduction of emissions from the present conditions during operations. Mitigation will be required to control adverse fugitive dust impacts on adjacent occupied structures and people on the street. The following measures will be implemented to reduce potential local fugitive dust emissions: 5.a.1 The contractor shall be required to submit a Fugitive Dust Mitigation Plan,prepared in accordance with Chapter 8.50 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code regarding Fugitive Dust and Erosion Control,which shall be submitted for review and approval by the Building Official prior to the issuance of a grading permit. 5.a..2 Construction equipment shall be properlymaintained and seNced to minimize exhaust emissions. 5.a.3 Construction operations affecting off-site roadways should be scheduled for off-peak traffic hours and shall minimize obstruction of through-traffic lanes. 5.a.4 The project proponentshall complywith all applicable SCAQMD Rules and Regulations.In particular,SCAQMD Rule 403 shall be adhered to,insuring the clean up of construction-related dirt on approach routes to the site. Rule 403 prohibitsthe release of fugitive dustemissionsfrom any active operation,open storage pile,or disturbed surface area beyond the property li ne of the emission source.Particulate matter deposits on public roadways are also prohibited. 5.a.5 A suitable dust control deposit vill be required and made prior to grading permit issuance. 5.a.6 Adequate watering techniques shall be employed to partially mitigatethe impact of construction-generated dust particulates.Portions of the project site that are undergoing earth moving operations shall be watered such that a crust will be formed on the ground surface and then catered again at the end of the day 5.a.7 Grading operations shall be suspended during first and second stage ozone episodes or when winds exceed 25 mph, per the PM10 SIP. -11- 11611 5.c-d NO IMPACT. The parking structure is too small to cause any significant alteration in air movement, moisture, temperature or any measurable change in local climate. Further, the activities associated with the proposed project will not generate any odors that could adversely impact adjacent land uses. Existing restaurant grease traps,which will be affected by the proposed project,will be relocated to the service driveway will allow adequate ventilation. There may be some odor in the service driveway which is located between existing buildings to the north of the proposed parking structure. Odor could migrate into the parking structure. Proper cleaning and maintenance of required grease trap lids can reduce this potential odor source to an acceptable, i.e., nonsignificant, level of impact. Since maintenance of the grease traps is required by City Code requirements, no mitigation is required.

Based on discussions with the City Public Works Director, the proposed project is not forecast to generate additional trips in the CBD. The trips to the Downtown Central Business District already occur, and the proposed project is being implemented to mitigate an existing deficit of parking spaces, both for area employees and customers/tourists that visit downtown Palm Springs. No mitigation is required. 6.b LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT. Although no increase in trip generation is forecast to occur, implementation of the proposed project is expected to modify the local flow of traffic as individuals seeking parking spaces will utilize the project,rather than seeking parking on the street. Two entrances to the parking structure have been provided, as shown on Attachment 3. The main entrance to the parking structure is off of Baristo and the other entrance is located at the north end of the structure, adjacent to the service driveway. Based on input from the Public Works Department,the peak demand for the facility will be in the evening hours (6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.), outside of the traditional peak hour traffic flow. During the peak hours,the parking consultant,has estimated that 130 trips will occur during the morning peak hour and 130 trips during the evening peak hour, primarily related to employees of local businesses arriving and departing work. For a more detailed analysis,see Attachment 10. Again, it is important to realize that these are not new trips; they represent the same trips being redistributed within the CBD. As such,implementation of the proposed parking structure is not forecast to contribute to significant traffic congestion within the project area. No mitigation is required. 6.c LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT. The entrances and exits from the parking structure are located a sufficient distance from the Baristo and Indian Canyon intersections so as not to pose any traffic safety hazards. Further,adequate signing will be installed to clearly direct parking patrons to entrances and exits to the adjacent streets. As summarized in the project description, a General Plan Amendment is required for this project in order to eliminate the existing parking lane and make other road section modifications. All current travel lanes on Indian Canyon will be maintained under the -12- ltxo)6 proposed project implementation. The exit onto Indian Canyon may cause slowing due to the parking structure turning movements,but no significant impact is forecast to occur. In fact,slowing down traffic at this location may serve as a project benefit since the area is in the CBD and slower speeds would be consistent with improved pedestrian activity in this area. No potential to create significant traffic hazards has been identified for the proposed project. No mitigation is required. 6.d NO IMPACT. Adequate emergency access has been provided for the proposed project and is being maintained for adjacent uses, as shown on Attachment 3. No mitigation is required. 6.e NO IMPACT. The proposed project is being implemented to offset an existing deficit of parking in the Downtown Central Business Area. Therefore, the proposed project has a beneficial impact on the issue. Special attention to pedestrian movement has bee incorporated into the design by incorporating new sidewalks and several pedestrian entries into the structure. No mitigation is required. 6.f NO IMPACT. The proposed project will not cause any hazards or barriers to pedestrian or bicyclists as shown on Attachment 3 and 4. No mitigation is required. 6.g NO IMPACT. Implementation of the proposed project has no potential conflicts with adopted policies supporting alternative transportation.

The City has designated the native fan palm(Washintonia filifera)as its primary street tree. Existing palm trees on the project site will be relocated as part of the project. No endangered, threatened or rare species or their habitats can occur on this fully developed site. The loss of the few mature trees on the site will be offset by the proposed landscape plan for the parking structure.

The potential for an accidental spill exists during construction and afterthe parking structure is in use. Mitigation has been identified (measures 4.0 and 4.c.2) to ensure that accidental spills are controlled and appropriately remediated if they occur. No additional mitigation is required. 9.b LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT. The project site is located outside of the roadway alignment and any potential to interfere with an emergency response plan or evacuation plan would be short term when construction is underway. This potential for interference is considered to be minor since almost all construction activities will be contained within the project site and adjacent staging areas. The City requires that a construction traffic management plan be prepared and implemented when construction activities enter into traffic lanes. Since this is a requirement, no additional mitigation is required. 9 c POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT UNLESS MITIGATION INCORPORATED. The two potential sources of potential health hazards associated with the proposed project are accidental spills and the discovery of existing sources of hazardous contamination at the site. Potential accidental spills were previously addressed,and adequate mitigation has been identified to handle anyaccidental releases of hazardous materials during construction. Regarding existing site contamination,both Phase I and II investigations have been performed at the site. The Phase II investigation was carried out because the site was thought to have contained underground storage tanks. No residual contamination has been identified at the site. Another source of contamination may be revealed during demolition of the existing 14 11 / structures. These structures may contain either or both asbestos and lead based paints. Special precautions for managing both materials have been established by the SCAQMD and the Department of Toxic Substances Control, respectively, that are mandatory when demolition occurs. No additional mitigation is necessary for removal of hazardous materials as part of the building demolition process since these regulatory programs are in place. The following measure is identified to ensure that people are not exposed to significant concentrations of hazardous substances during demolition and site preparation. 9.c.1 As part of the site SWPPP,the contractor shall incorporate a contingency plan to respond to the discovery of any hazardous contamination. The contingency procedure shall meet the following performance standards:the spilled material and any contaminated soil,demolition debris or other material shall be collected and remo%ed from the site withoutexposingemployees or other persons to concentrations of the substancethat exceed public health risk levels of significance for the substance as established by law or regulation;this material shall be disposed of at an appropriately licensed disposal or recycling facility for the spilled material;the contaminated area shall be cleaned to background conditionsfor the spilled material,or to regulato'rythresholds forthe spilled material in place at the time of the spill. Implementation of this measure will ensure that the project does not expose the environment or humans to significant potential health hazards. 9.d POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT UNLESS MITIGATION INCORPORATED. Please refer to the discussion under 9.c. The project site has been evaluated as part of Phase I and Phase II investigations for hazardous substances contamination. The Phase II survey detected two small metallic anomalies in the parking lot, a few feet northwest and a few feet southwest of the eastern landscape island in the parking lot. A large L-shaped anomaly was also detected along the eastern perimeter near the southeast corner. The ground penetrating radar signature looked like a small underground storage tank(UST)may be present at the northwestern anomaly,possible a waste oil tank. The southwestern anomaly did not appear to be a UST, but could be a wastewater disposal feature, such as a dry well. The L-shaped area appeared to contain a reinforced concrete slab consistent with this being the dispenser island area. The area in the southern portion of the site did not contain metallic objects, but the geology appeared to have been disturbed. This area is believed to have been the former location of the fuel USTs,now removed. Historical aerial photographs indicate the likely location of past USTs to be near the southern boundary of the site west of the southeast corner. On boring was located adjacent to each of the identified anomalies,and two borings were drilled in the probable former UST area. Site soils were observed to generally consist of fine to medium grained sands with some silt and gravels. Large cobbles and boulders prevented drilling deeper than 24 feet. Evidence of contamination such as odors or staining was not observed in any of the borings. No evidence of existing USTs was observed in any of the borings. This investigation was conducted to evaluate whether the site had been adversely affected by its prior use as a gas station. The data obtained during this investigation are consistent with the prior use of the site as a gas station, with fuel USTs located in the southern portion of the investigation area and a dispenser island located along the eastern perimeter of the site. Fuel USTs were not identified at the site. The soil in the fuel UST area was disturbed, including the presence of asphalt fragments and plastic sheeting. The presence of the plastic sheeting suggests that soil was removed when the USTs were removed, possible due to the presence of contamination However, a gravel layer was encountered at 23 feet in each boring, indicating that the excavation activities did not extend beyond that point. Indications of the current presence of significant contamination were not identified in the area of the fuel dispenser islands or the former fuel UST area. One UST may still be present at the site. If present, this UST is relatively small (probably a waste oil UST), and should be removed under the supervision of the Riverside County Department of Environmental Health Services. Contamination was not identified in association with this feature. The object at boring B-1 is suspected to be a waste disposal feature, such as a dry well. Laboratory testing in this area did not detect VOCs, and no staining or odors were noted. The interior of the dry well may contain non-volatile contaminants, such as metals (depending on the amount of automobile repair that was performed at this facility), but VOCs, odors and staining would likely also be present if that were the case. Therefore, we believe the likelihood of contamination to be present in association with this feature is low. This feature should be removed during redevelopment of the site for soil engineering purposes. Laboratory testing of the soils did not identify significant concentrations of contaminants. Therefore, the former use of the site as a gas station does not appear to have adversely affected the environmental condition of the site. Further investigations for the presence of contaminations do not appear warranted, unless the possible presence of non-volatile contamination -15- �05 11 � in association with the suspected dry well is of concern. The following measure will ensure that no adverse exposure to existing health hazards will occur. 9.d Priorto constructing the parking structure(this does not includedemolitionand grading),the City shall verify that the underground storage tanks have been properly removed and that, if any residual contamination remains,it is remediated to current health protection thresholds established bypegulatory standards. 9.e NO IMPACT. The project site is located in an urban area with no wildland fire hazard loads on the site or on the adjacent property. With no potential hazards, no adverse impact can occur.

Although periodic noise levels have a potential to be higher during periods of construction, this will be temporary in nature and all vehicles will be required to have adequate muffling devices to insure compliance with the City's Noise Ordinance. In particular, the Las Brisas Hotel is located across the street from the proposed parking structure and noise attenuation during construction will be reduced to the extent feasible to prevent conflicts with the hotel's operations. As described in the project description, the project schedule will require early work permits. The key issue is the amount of concrete work which needs to be done at night to avoid serious problems with concrete pours and structural strength. Concrete cures very quickly during hot summer conditions. Feedback from downtown business owners indicates a strong need to complete the project in the June to November time frame. Early work starting at 5:00 a.m. on most days may cause some disruption to the Las Brisas Hotel which is the only lodging and/or residential land use in the project vicinity. Concrete pours need to commence as early as 2:00 a.m. no more than two times per week. No concrete pours on weekends are proposed. This short-term construction impact is necessary and desirable to complete the project on-time and to ensure that concrete sets and cures per engineering and structural standards. The community benefits of constructing the parking schedule, both on time and to structural standards, outweigh this short-term construction impact. During operations vehicle operations will remain the same, and existing noise levels should be comparable to the existing uses at the site based on commercial,residential and office uses. No mitigation is proposed for operating activities, but the following measures are proposed for construction activities. 10.a.1 Hours of construction will occur from 5:00a.m.to 8:00 p.m.,Monday through Friday. Holiday and weekend work is not anticipated,but,if necessary will be performed as approved by the local building department.Concrete pours will commence as earlyas 2:00 a.m. No more than tvo concrete pours per week are anticipated. 10.a.2 All construction vehicles or equipment fixed or mobile operaterlshall be equipped with properly operating and maintained muffler 10.a.3 The City shall establish a noise complaint response program for this project during construction.The City shall establish a noise complaint phone number and it shall be advertised in signs on the four sides of the project. If noise complaints are received,the City shall immediately meet with the complainantand identify actions that will reduce the noise to acceptable le%els,either through adjusting hours of the actiity or installing portable noise barriers that reduce such noise. Implementation of these measures can ensure control of construction noise activities at a sufficient level to reduce impacts to a level of insignificance. 10.c The project is located outside the limits of the noise impact combining zone, as identified by the City of Palm Springs General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance, and therefore will not be subject to the provisions of the Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study.

The project site is located in downtown Palm Springs and will not increase the population or require the extension of new public services into a new area. If approved, the project will be constructed of concrete which has a very low fire hazard. However, a fire hazard is associated with possible car fires, and the project incorporates an automatic fire sprinkler system, stand pipes, and fire extinguishers in the project design with can control this hazard to a nonsignificant level of impact. Similarly, the need for police protection is forecast to remain essentially the same after operations being since no new uses will be generated at the project site. The proposed project is within the City's five minute response time for fire service as it located about 1 mile from Fire Station No.1. No demand for school capacity is forecast to occur. The sidewalk, curb and gutter along Indian Canyon Road will be relocated as part of the project approximately 8-feet to the east, into an area where there is currently on- street parking. As the parking structurewill provide increased numberof parking spaces,the loss of the on-street parking spaces in not considered significant. The proposed facility will require ongoing maintenance by the City, which will be funded as part of the City's parking program. Based on the type of facility,the proposed project will not cause significant public service impacts. No mitigation is required.

The proposed project will not generate any demand for wastewater management. Overall demand for power, communications, water, solid waste at project site is forecast to be reduced compared to the existing commercial, residential and office uses on the project site. Due to the nature and relatively small size of this proposal on a regional scale, there should be no significant impact to utilities and service systems as a result of the project. Note that during construction existing water lines and sewer lines may need to be rerouted as part of the proposed project. Aside from a very short-term outage for these lines during construction, no significant adverse impact is forecast to occur from these utility system modifications. No mitigation is required.

AESTHETICS Would the proposal: a) Affect a scenic vista or scenic highway? ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ b) Have a demonstrated negative aesthetic effect? ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ c) Create light or glare? ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ 13.a LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The project site is currently developed with commercial and residential structures consistentwith the surrounding urban Central Business District setting along this portion of Indian Canyon Drive. This being said, the critical aesthetic issue for this project is whether the proposed structure Is either out of scale for the project area or too tall, with a consequent adverse effect on the scenic vistas, particularly the San Jacinto Mountain front immediately west of the City. The downtown district contains a number of structures that range from three to five stories in height, which is comparable to the proposed parking structure, which will be 25 feet in height adjacent to streets and will incorporate a 35'high element on the west, adjacent to existing buildings. Further, the existing buildings along Indian Canyon Drive create visual barriers to the scenicvista of the San Jacinto Mountains to the west. The City has prepared a computer simulation which shows that the mountain views from the east side of Indian Canyon Drive will be maintained. Views from the Las Brisas Hotel will be maintained, but the majority of the hotel's rooms face south and the pool area also faces south, not west. Thus, the proposed project will not create a significant new visual barrier to the mountains because the existing structures along Indian Canyon already create such a barrier. The east-west scenic views along Baristo will be maintained by the proposed project. Based on the existing visual setting and the proposed modification the site by installing the parking structure, the project is not forecast to cause a significant adverse effect on a scenic vista. Further, Indian Canyon is not identified as a scenic highway, so the proposed project cannot have an adverse effect on such resources. No mitigation is required. l 13.b LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT Typical parking structures can appear monolithic and drab, with the consequence being a negative aesthetic effect on the environment. However, the design of the proposed parking structure, as shown on Sheet A-4 of the architectural drawings, contains a variety of features to break up the structure and integrate the project into the traditional downtown Palm Springs visual setting. Although the structure will be located close to the street, the parking structure design has been upgraded to create interest and to blend in with the surrounding CBD setting. These upgraded features include:The structure will be constructed of reinforced concrete that will be painted in earth tones to blend with the surrounding mountains. Display areas/showcases for the adjacent businesses will be provided on the east elevation. A main entry feature is proposed at the south entrance. This feature will be constructed of steel and will be painted"Palm Springs Green"to match existing streetlight colors. Other trim on the structure will also be painted green. Cantilevered shade structures, approximately 17'x17' in dimension will be located on the third level along Indian Canyon Drive and Baristo Road. These shade structures will be constructed of canvas and will add architectural variety to the structure. In addition palm trees will be planted adjacent to the structure to soften the setback and height characteristics of the proposed parking structure. The structure has been designed to be consistent with the City of Palm Springs design requirements. Based on the project design which integrates design elements from the City's General Plan and surrounding visual setting, the proposed parking structure is not forecast to create a significant negative aesthetic effect. No mitigation beyond the proposed design is required. 13.c LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The proposed project site is part of the urban visual setting of downtown Palm Springs which encompasses street lighting and business signing. The proposed project will replace existing structures and street lighting with new lighting equipment that must meet the City's stringent lighting requirements, particularly for safety. The project's interior and outdoor lighting is proposed to consist of high pressure sodium lighting products to complement the quality of the structure. These lighting fixtures are considered to be glare free and include shields that minimize exposure of the lamp source from direct view. Lighting on the roof would be directed upward into the canvas structures to provide an indirect lighting environment that would result in positive night lighting forthis facility. As an alternative, light fixtures approximately 25'in height will be provided in the middle portion of the structure. These light fixtures will not be visible within 150'of the site and would be visible from greater distances. All lighting forthe parking structure will be in compliance with the City's lighting ordinance. Based on the type of lighting and the light fixture designs for the parking structure, no significant adverse light or glare impacts are forecast to occur and no mitigation is required.

CULTURAL RESOURCES Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Would the proposal: a) Disturb paleontological resources? ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ b) Disturb archeological resources? ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ c) Affect historic resources? ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ d) Have the potential to cause a physical change ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ which would affect unique ethnic cultural values? e) Restrict existing religious or sacred uses ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ within the potential impact areas? 14.a-b NO IMPACT. According to the General Plan, the subject site is not located within an Archeological Resources Area such that no evidence of paleontological or archeological significance has been identified on site. Therefore,no impacts to paleontological or archeological resources should occur as a result of this project. Note that the project site has been historically disturbed for development and any subsurface resources will have had their integrity destroyed by previous development activities. No mitigation is required. 14.c NO IMPACT. A review of the building permits for the existing structures on the site indicates that they were constructed less than 50 years ago and none of the existing structures were associated with persons of historic significance. Therefore,the demolition of these structures is not forecast to cause any significant adverse effect on any historic resources. No mitigation is required. 14.d-e NO IMPACT. The project site has been in use for commercial business and residential uses for more than 50 years. The site has no known unique ethnic cultural values that could be adversely impacted by the proposed project, nor would the implementation of the parking structure restrict any known existing religious or sacred uses. No mitigation is required. Potentially Polenlially Significant Less Than Item Significant Unless Mitigation Significant No 15. RECREATION Impact Incoryorated Impact Impact Would the proposal: a) Increase the demand for neighborhood or ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ regional parks or other recreational facilities? b) Affect existing recreational opportunities? ❑ ❑ ❑ 15.a- b NO IMPACT. The construction of a parking structure will not increase the demand for recreation facilities as the project will not directly or indirectly induce population growth. The project site is not currently used for recreation uses. Thus,the project will not impact existing recreational opportunities. No impact can be identified and no mitigation is required.

PUBLIC CONTROVERSY a) Is the proposed project or action environmentally ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ controversial in nature or can it reasonably be expected to become controversial upon disclosure to the public? 16.a LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT. The proposal is consistent with the General Plan and being processed consistent with the City's objective of providing additional downtown parking and constructive reuse/redevelopment of the Downtown Central Business District. There have been property owner objections or opposition to the acquisition of property and redevelopment of the project area for parking structure use. However, the voters approved Measure "D" at the November 2001 election. By approving this measure the voters supported a funding program to construct a downtown parking structure. During the election process and during preliminary planning efforts for this project, several members of the public have stated objections to development of parking structures in the downtown and on this site. Conversely, during these same meetings, there has been strong support for the proposed project.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE a) Does the project have the potential to degrade ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the history or prehistory? b) Does the project have the potential to achieve ❑ ■ ❑ ❑ short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? c) Does the project have impacts that are individually ❑ ■ ❑ ❑ limited, but cumulatively considered ("Cumulatively considerable' means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the efforts of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and effects of probable future projects)? d) Does the project have environmental effects which ❑ ■ ❑ ❑ cause substantial adverse effects on human beings? 17.a NO IMPACT. There are no native biological resources located on the project site, so no adverse impact can occur to such resources from implementing the proposed project. 17.b POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT UNLESS MITIGATION INCORPORATED. The proposed projectwould be located on sediment that has a potential to experience collapse when wetted and a potential exists that accidental release of petroleum products from underground storage tanks may occur. Mitigation (measures 3.f and 9.d)will be implemented to reduce these short-term potential impacts to a level of nonsignificance. Also, short-term construction air quality impacts, primarily from fugitive dust, can cause local exposure of sensitive receptors to adverse impacts. Mitigation measures 5.a.1 through 5.a.7 will be implemented by the City to reduce this potential short-term impact to a nonsignificant level of impact. 17.c POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT UNLESS MITIGATION INCORPORATED. The air quality impact referenced under 17.b and the potential water quality degradation associated with construction and operation of the parking structure are considered cumulative adverse effects. Air quality mitigation measures have been identified above,and the water quality mitigation measures(measures 4.c.1 and 4.c.2)are sufficient to ensure that the project will not contribute to significant cumulative adverse impact to these two resources. 17.d All of the potential significant adverse impacts for which mitigation has been identified (geotechnical, waterquality, air quality, and hazards)have a potential.to cause substantial adverse effects on human beings. The mitigation identified in this Initial Study to control or eliminate these potential adverse impacts are also considered sufficient to eliminate any significant adverse effects on human beings. Based on the findings in this Initial Study,the City of Palm Springs concludes that sufficient data are available to demonstrate that the installation and operation of the proposed parking structure can be implemented without causing significant adverse impacts,with implementation of the recommended mitigation measures. Therefore,the City finds that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is the appropriate environmental determination for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. The City will issue a Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration and will consider adopting this determination aftercompletion of the requisite public review of proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration and this Initial Study. -21- I 1 6 18.

The proposed parking structure will have a capacity of approximately 390 parking spaces. Approximately 125 spaces will be reserved for employee parkins on the uppermost portion of the parking structure, and the remaining stalls on the lower levels will be available for downtown shoppers and visitors, The employee parking spaces will be controlled by key-card access parking equipment located on an upper floor at the access to the designated employee parking spacos. Those spaces will 6e available for lease on a monthly fee basis from the City of Palm Springs. Free parking on a time limit basis will be provided for shoppers and visitors on the Inwer parking levels. The entry/exit configuration consists of an entrance lane and an exit lane at the ernrth end of the parking structure at Baristo Road. An exit lane only Is provided at the north end of the east side of the parking structure at Indian Canyon Drive. An entrance lane is not provided at that location, as the direction of one-way traffic on Indian Canyon Drive would result in emssdraffic conflicts between the entering and exiting traffic at that location, Entering traffic that bypasses the Baristo Road entrance can continue north on Indian Canyon and circulate through the City parking lot at the south side of Arenas Street and access the NW corner of the parking structure from the alley. Therefore, the parking structure will have a total of two entrance lanes and two exit lanes, The parking structure will serve the employees and visitors of the retail, hotel and restaurant businesses in the downtown, There are sayeral resiauiuws Iacaled an the some block as the parking structure. Therefore, many of the employee parking spaces will be leased by restaurant employees, The restaurant employee; typically work two shiffc. Tho First ohift is from approximately 10:00am to 6:00pm with a second shift from 6:00pm to midnight•2:00am.

Based upon Walker's experience with traffic counts at parking structures in downtown business districts,we anticipate that the peak hour morning arrivals will be on the order of approximately 25% of the visitor/shopput parking capacity, and 50% of the employee parking capacily. The departures will likely be less than the peak hour arrivals, as the end of the work shift will stagger Moro than the start of the work shih•, Therofore, we recommend a peak hour depuriure volume equivalent to the peak hour arrival volume. For 125 employee parking spaces and 265 visitor parking spaces, we caiculaw a peak hour arrival and departure volume of approximately 130 vehicles per hour. In accordance with Table 3-1 1 of PARKING STRUCTURESi,ELANNING, DESIGN, MAINTENANCE & REPAIR, Third Edition, by Chrest, et al, the tidal flow capacity of a 901degree parking, two-way traffic system is at least 700 vehicles per hour. The free flow service rate in and out of the parking structure is at least 800 vehicles per hour per lane. The design of the parking structure includes two inbound lanes and two outbound lanes. The entering and exiting service rate of the parking structure is then of least 1600 vehicles per hour. The peak hour arrival/dupurture traffic volume Is less than 10% of this service rate. Therefore, no queuing or stacking at the entrances and exits Is anticipated. In the future, the operation of the parking structure may change to a fee-based system with all hourly porkers. The peak hour arrival/departure rate will not chongo significantly(will actually decrease somewhat). However, the service rate will change significantly for gate-controlled access with ticket dispensers at the entrances and cashier booths at the exit lanes. The ticket dispensers have a service rate of 400 vehicles per hour. The volume to capacity ratio for the peak hour arrivals is then ,325 (32,5%of capacity). The maximum queue at a 90%probability of satisfactory operation is only one vehicle. the service rate for a cashiered operation is only 150 vehicles per hour. Therefore, two cashiered exit lanes are recommended. The volume to capacity ratio Is then 0.433 143.3%of capacity) for this mode of operation. The maximum queue is then two vehicles per exit Tana with this mode of operation. These vehicles will stock momentarily inside the garage, The present design will allow for the future addition of u cushier booth at each exit lane, The above analysis does not consider the traffic characteristics for-special events such as the "Follies" on Thursday nights. However, the mode of operation for special events is typically pay oirenfer with free flow exit. The exit Inns of the south entry/exit on Soristo Road could be reversible to allow a total of three entry lanes (two lanes at the south entrance and one lane of the NW entrance) for special event parking in order to provide adequate entry capacity for that mode of operation. In summary, the design of the parking structure entrances and exits provides adequate traffic capacity for the anticipated peak hour traffic volume with little or no queuing either inside the garage or on the adjacent streets. 037.7296-00pvfm springs\eporh\inges gcusfudy,&c I 2 04/01/2802 13:19 3036946667 WALKER PARKING DENVR PAGE 03/03 WALKIM April 1, 2002 nvWacoNOZAMs Doug Evans PcaOA 3 of 3 If we may be of further assistance, pleaso contact us.

After this process, PSEDC has determined that the parking structure is important to the continued economic success and future development needs of the community. Therefore,we believe this project merits the approvals being sought. While downtown Palm Springs merchants have enjoyed a significant level of economic growth over the past several years, the inventory of parking spaces has not kept pace with that growth. As a community we must address this need if we are to continue to attract large numbers of people(residents and visitors alike)to the downtown area. Having adequate, safe and free(or low cost)parking is necessary for continued and increasing prosperity. PSEDC therefore urges Planning Commission approval of the parking structure. We are aware that the Commission will review the project on April 24, 2002. PSEDC representatives will be there to express our support. We also are available to meet with you and/or city staff to discuss the project prior to that meeting if so desired.

The proposed project consists of the construction and maintenance of a four-level, 390 parking space,public parking structure on approximately 1.36 acres. The General Plan amendment will be a minor revision of text that will allow the road section on Indian Canyon Drive to be constructed with the loss of a parking lane and the preservation of the current number of travel lanes. The proposed project is generally bounded by Palm Canyon Drive to the west, Indian Canyon Drive to the east, Baristo Road to the south, and Arenas Road to the north in the city of Palm Springs. The Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District) has the following comments/concerns: 1. The proposed project area is located within the District's Master Drainage Plan (MDP) for the Palm Springs area, When fully implemented, these MDP facilities will provide flood protection to relieve those areas within the plan of the most serious flooding problems and will provide adequate drainage outlets. To obtain further information on the MDP and the proposed District facilities, contact Jason Uhley of the District's Planning Section at 909.955.1345. 2. The District's existing Baristo Channel is within the project area and may be impacted. Any work that involves District right of way, easements or facilities will require an encroachment permit from the District. To obtain further information an encroachment permits or existing facilities, contact Ed Lotz of the District's Encroachment Permit Section at 909.955.1266. 3. The proposed project may contribute to increases in urban pollutant runoff. The Colorado River Basin Regional Drainage Area Management Plan (CR-DAMP) describes the overall stormwater management strategies planned by Riverside County. The CR-DAMP has been prepared to meet the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Permit issued by the Santa Ana River Basin Regional Water Quality Control Board to the municipalities in the Santa Ana River basin of Riverside County. The District and the NPDES Co-Penmitees also prepared Supplement "A" entitled "New Development Guidelines" and the attachment to Supplement "A" entitled "Selection and Design of Stormwater Quality Control". These documents complement the DAMP by providing ltql 76205.1 Mr. Alex P.Meyerhoff -2- April 15, 2002 Re: Initial Study for Downtown Parking Structure and Related General Plan Amendment additional guidance in the selection and implementation of best management practices (BMPs). The above documents should be used during the evaluation of potential stormwater quality impacts and appropriate mitigation measures that may be needed to address such impacts. Any, questions regarding the above documents of the District's NPDES program should be directed to Steve Stump of the District's NPDES Section at 909.955.1273. Thank you for the opportunity to review the IS. Please forward any subsequent environmental documents regarding the project to my attention at this office. Any further questions concerning this letter may be referred to me at 909.955.1233 or Marc Mintz at 909.955.4643.

He reviewed exhibits for the Planning Commission and stated that there will be no parking lane on Indian Canyon Drive, landscaping will be at the curb to buffer traffic from the walkway, the trash and service courtyard will serve the adjacent businesses and the garage, and that there will be three elevators(more than code requires). He confirmed that the Sign Program will be brought to the Planning Commission for approval. Mr. Cioffi also reviewed exhibits for the Planning Commission and pointed out the changes (as suggested by Design Review)since the last time the Planning Commission reviewed them at Study Session. He state that he will have a 3D model of the structure for review soon. He stated that there is no landscape architect on the project at this time, but took comments and suggestions from Planning Commission members for future consideration which include concerns regarding the site distance on Indian Canyon Drive between palm trees and the trees and landscaping on Baristo Road. /14 W Page 13 of 14 Planning Commission Conformed Agenda February 27 2002 Commissioner Shoenberger stated emphatically that he believes the Downtown Parking Structure should be built larger to accommodate more parking and that now is the opportunity to do that. He stated that he does not believe building height is an issue. Mr. Cioffi stated that, with the entrance treatment, elevators, and stairs to the Chophouse, a few parking spaces were lost and that there are now 379 spaces. He agreed that the structure (columns and footings) should be designed to accommodate a fourth level of parking. Chairman Klatchko concurred and asked that an alternate design be submitted which includes this possibility. Chairman Klatchko stated that he felt priority should be given to this suggestion over aesthetic considerations such as stamped decorative concrete paving. Sign Program — Application by City of Palm Springs / Palm Springs Follies for an Architectural Approval to allow a showcase sign located at the Plaza Theater, 125 South Palm Canyon Drive, CBD Zone, Section 15. Director stated that there have been many alternatives reviewed by the Planning Commission and staff and that the issue includes the proper location of the sign. He summarized that, at the Planning Commission Study Session, the Planning Commission was uncomfortable with the proposed design at that time and asked the applicant to redesign the side. He reported that the applicant redesigned the sign perthe Planning Commission direction and had it reviewed by Design Review which rejected the design due to the massing on the sidewalk. He reviewed photographs of existing signage at La Plaza and suggested that, although the existing signs may be too tall, using the same general architecture and design would tie La Plaza together. Chairman Klatchko commented that he liked the La Plaza signage but felt that it would obstruct pedestrian traffic is placed in the proposed location. He suggested that the shape is good and would be best if smaller. Commissioner Jurasky asked that the sign match La Plaza signage as much as is possible and that some of the same materials be utilized. M/S/C (Raya/Shoenberger 4-1, Jurasky dissenting, 1 absent) to approve subject to the pedestal being architecturally tied to the building and to the approval of the Director of Planning and Building.

OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA,AMENDING GENERAL PLAN POLICY 7.1.5ADDING A SPECIAL STREET SECTION IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT,APPROVING A SPECIAL STREET SECTION FOR THE PROJECT VICINITY AND FINDING THAT VACATING A PORTION OF THE INDIAN CANYON DRIVE RIGHT-OF-WAY IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE GENERAL PLAN, LOCATED ATTHE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF INDIAN CANYON DRIVE AND BARISTO ROAD, C-B-D ZONE, SECTION 15. WHEREAS, the City of Palm Springs, (the "applicant') has filed a request to amend General Plan Policy 7.1.5 and adopt a special street section; and WHEREAS, notice of a public hearing of the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Springs to consider a request to amend General Plan Policy 7.1.5 and adopt a special street section was issued in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, on April 24, 2002 a public hearing on the request to amend General Plan Policy 7.1.5, adopt a special street section, and vacate a portion of Indian Canyon Drive was held by the Planning Commission in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, on April 24, 2002, after holding a public hearing and considering all of the evidence presented in connection with the hearing on the project, including but not limited to the staff report, all written and oral testimony presented, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the project; and WHEREAS, notice of public hearing of the City Council of the City of Palm Springs to consider a request to amend General Plan Policy 7.1.5 and adopt a special street section was issued in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, on May 1, 2002 a public hearing on the request to amend General Plan Policy 7.1.5 and adopt a special street section was held by the City Council in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, the City Council has carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence presented in connection with the hearing on the project, including but not limited to the staff report, all written and oral testimony presented. THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: Pursuant to CEQA, the City Council finds that with the incorporation of proposed mitigation measures, potentially significant environmental impacts resulting from this project will be reduced to a level of insignificance and therefore recommends adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project. The project is located on a currently developed site and will have de minimus impact on fish 11D and wildlife. Section 2: This proposed revision of the General Plan to allow special street sections within the Central Business District to facilitate traffic calming and public parking facilities will allow the General Plan to remain internally consistent. General Plan Policy 3.16.1 states, "Palm Canyon and Indian Canyon Drive shall be designed to provide an environment which is more suited to slower traffic and more frequent pedestrian crossing." The right-of-way of Indian Canyon Drive will be reduced to 88 feet in width, narrower than what currently exists. While all current travel lanes will be maintained, the narrower half street on the west side and the exit from the parking structure onto Indian Canyon side should serve to slow down traffic and contribute to a more pedestrian friendly environment. Section 3: The special street section for the project vicinity is necessary and appropriate for the project to work. As the parking structure will provide an increased number of parking spaces, the loss of the on-street parking on the west side of Indian Canyon Drive is not significant. Section 4: That vacating a portion of Indian Canyon Drive adjacent to Case No. 5.0901-PD- 275 is consistent with the General Plan as amended herein. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the City Council hereby approves the amendment to General Plan Policy 7.1.5 as shown on Exhibit A and the special street section as shown in Exhibit B.

WHEREAS, The City of Palm Springs (the "Applicant")filed an application pursuant to section 94.03.00 of the Zoning Ordinance for a Planned Development District to construct a four-level, 390 parking space, public parking structure for the property located at the northwest corner of Indian Canyon Drive and Baristo Road, C-B-D Zone, Section 15; and WHEREAS, notice of a public hearing of the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Springs to consider an application for Case No. 5.0901-PD-275 was issued in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, on April 24, 2002 a public hearing on the application for Case No. 5.0901-PD-275 was held by the Planning Commission in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, on April 24, 2002, after holding a public hearing and considering all of the evidence presented in connection with the hearing on the project, including but not limited to the staff report, all written and oral testimony presented, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the project; and WHEREAS, notice of public hearing of the City Council of the City of Palm Springs to consider an application for Case No. 5.0901-PD-275 was issued in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, on May 1, 2002 a public hearing on the application for Case No. 5.0901-PD-275 was held by the City Council in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, the City Council has carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence presented in connection with the hearing on the project, including but not limited to the staff report, all written and oral testimony presented. THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: Pursuant to CEQA, the City Council finds that, with the incorporation of proposed mitigation measures, potentially significant environmental impacts resulting from this project will be reduced to a level of insignificance and therefore recommends adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project. The project is located on a currently developed site and will have a de minimus impact on fish and wildlife. Section 2: Pursuant to Zoning Ordinance Section 9402.00, the City Council finds that: a. The use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one for which a Planned Development District is authorized by the City's zoning ordinance. 11E Pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance, a proposed parking structure is allowed by right of zone in the C-B-D zone. There is an immediate need to provide parking in the downtown area and the proposed structure is intended to provide customer and employee parking. The City contracted Walker Parking Consultants to conduct a study of potential sites and locations for parking structures of 3-4 levels before deciding on the current site. The intersection of Baristo road and Indian Canyon Drive has been shown to be an appropriate area to handle the anticipated traffic levels created by the parking structure. The location of entrances off Indian Canyon Drive and Baristo Road is also consistent with General Plan Policy 3.16.10 which states, "...Primary vehicular access shall be from Indian Canyon Drive..." b. The said use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, and is in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the General Plan, and is not detrimental to the existing or future uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located. The proposed project is desirable in that it will improve the downtown parking situation and will enhance the area in which the project is proposed. The project is consistent with the objectives of General Plan Policies 3.14.1 and 3.14.2 which state that, "Downtown merchants and property owners, and the City, are encouraged to coordinate the acquisition, construction, and maintenance of public parking facilities." In addition, the General Plan encourages common parking facilities over the provisions of on-site parking and to provide sufficient parking to meet the needs of employee and visitor parking needs. The proposed uses and improvements are necessary and desirable for the development of the community and will provide services for travelers to and residents within the City. Public input during the site selection process was generally favourable for the proposed location. C. The site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, including yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping and other features required in order to adjust said use to those existing or permitted future uses of land in the neighborhood. The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed parking structure. The proposed development and uses will not conflict with existing or future uses either adjacent to the property or in the vicinity. While the structure has been designed to be consistent with the City of Palm Springs design requirements, it does not comply with the zoning ordinance in the areas of setbacks, open space, parking dimensions, and lighting. The proposed setbacks will be 1 foot on Indian Canyon Drive, zero lot line on Baristo Road, 22 feet on the north side, and 5 feet on the south side. Open space requirements and parking dimensions will require some flexibility due to the nature of parking structures requiring a large number of spaces to fit into a confined environment. The difficulty in complying with the zoning requirernents is due to the attempt to construct a parking structure following current design modules on a narrow, rectangular-shaped site area enveloped by existing structures and streets. The proposed location for the parking structure has a width of approximately 146 feet and a length of approximately 310 feet for an area of 1.04 acres. d. The site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways properly designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be generated by the proposed use. Indian Canyon Drive is a major thoroughfare and Baristo Road is a secondary thoroughfare. Both roads are able to adequately accommodate vehicular trips generated by the project. JtF2W The road section of Indian Canyon Drive will be constructed with the loss of one parking lane while maintaining the current number of travel lanes. Mitigation measures related to traffic have been included in the project's conditions of approval. e. The conditions to be imposed are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare, of the existing neighborhood in which this project is situated. The proposed development and uses are located within the C-B-D (Central Business District)Zone which allows automobile parking lots and structures as a main use by right of zone. The proposal will include all improvements necessary to protect public health, safety, and welfare including adequate driveways, sidewalks, interior and exterior lighting, fire suppression, elevators, handicapped parking, and signage. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the City Council approves the filing of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and hereby approves Case No. 5.0901-PD-275 subject to the conditions set forth in the attached Exhibit A, which are to be satisfied prior to the issuance of building permits unless otherwise specified.
