DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT POLICIES Executive Director reviewed report of Redevelopment Director, dated February 21, 1979, and recommended approving policies regarding downtown redevelopment, establishing an Executive Committee of the Agency/City Council to work with Staff, and recommending that the Downtown Development Advisory Commission meet on an "on-call' basis. He stated that the intent of the proposed resolution is that the Agency desires to pro- ceed along these lines, and that details need to be developed leading to final decisions; that concerning; short range Palm Canyon Drive improvement, there was no definite recommendation from staff that one-half of the jutouts be eliminated, but that further work could be done and the matter brought 'back for derision; and that relative to the number of travel "lanes on Palm Canyon Drive, the DDAC felt that Palm Canyon Drive has a specific character which could be destroyed if made to be a more heavily (124 & traffic carrying street by installing four lanes, which 133) would depart from the idea it should be unique, pedestrian oriented and not just for carrying automobiles, and if the Agency desires, Section 7 of the proposed resolution could reflect the Agency understanding of the significance of Palm Canyon Drive to the character of the downtown area and that it will take that into consideration in making decisions relative to traffic circulation. In answer to questions by the Agency, Executive Director stated that the committee of the Agency/City Council could meet with the full DDAC, a portion of it, or the staff; that the operation of the Agency is different from that of the City Council, in that decisions are often needed to be made quickly, and it was felt that the process could be accelerated if some of the Agency/City Council members could be involved in earliest efforts, the results of which could be reported back to other members, and that when action is to be taken, it would be by the full Agency and City Council; that, as the City Council, no further action need be taken relative to committing the proceeds from the sale of the McCallum Civic Building, unless policy were to be changed; and that relative to the short-range improvement, details need to be worked out and brought back to the Agency/Council for action, but the project is contingent upon participation by the property owners. icy CRA Minutes 2-21-79 Pg. 2 1. DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT POLICIES (Continued) Mr. Doyle stated that the Agency/Council committee was not an effort to circumvent the power of the Agency or City Council, but only to get the Council more involved from the outset and speed up the process; that that the DDAC, relative to the long range plan, was looking for commitment from the Council that Palm Canyon Drive would not become a raceway and only a means of moving people from one end of town to the other; and that the language suggested by the Executive Director is acceptable. Chairman stated that the proposed policies bring the Agency back to,vwhere it was sometime ago in prior discussions, and those may have been lost sight of in dealing with Proposition 13, but the Agency legal counsel has made it clear that alLhoughL it may Lake longer to finance some projects, it is possible to (124 & do so and to have 's functioning CRA; that many 133) difficult decisions will have to be made in terms of traffic, which should "have been made a long time ago, and can no longer be delayed; that he did not like agreeing with something which was to be studied later, because generally the end product is something which fits whatever was agreed upon; and that he concurred with the language suggested by the Execu- tive Director. Resolution No. 91 was presented, entitled: t A JOINT RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND TIIE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING POLICIES REGARDING DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT, ESTABLISHING PRIORITY FOR EXPENDITURE OF FUTURE AGENCY FUNDS, ESTABLISHING AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE CITY COUNCIL/COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO WORK WITH STAFF, AND DIRECTING THAT DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION BE REVISED TO AN "ON CALL" BASIS.
