So

H
Last
I
checked
there
were
16
emails
and
letters
in
support
of
the
project
submitted
to
this
city.
Two
of
the
letters
are
attached
to
your
staff
report.
One
of
them
is
from
the
htcno
Incorporated,
which
is
the
neighborhood
organization,
and
the
other
is
from
the
saint
baristos
Association
and
those
are
both
in
support
of
the
project.
Then
there's
14
others
that
I
saw
on
the
clerk's
website
they're
also
in
support.
The
internet
has
been
down
in
the
tennis
club,
neighborhood
I.
H
I
Hi
I'm
here
on
3C
also
my
name
is
Danny
parody.
My
wife
is
lynnae.
Folks,
she's
spoken
to
a
few
of
you
before
I'm,
also
very
much
in
favor
of
I
live
in
the
The
Villas
of
old
Palm
Springs
I've
been
a
resident
for
Palm
Springs
for
22
years
I'm.
Also
very
much
in
favor
of
the
Orca
tree.
Burge
I've
stayed
in
one
they're
fabulous.
It's
going
to
be
a
great
great
addition
to
Palm
Springs
and
the
way
it
was
run
was
incredible.
I
J
K
E
K
To
the
words
of
Mike,
where
I
I
just
want
to
reinforce
that
I
mean
this
project
has
been,
or
this
property
has
been
an
eyesore
in
the
city
for
many
years,
I
believe
based
on
the
activity.
That's
taken
place
there
with
respect
to
cleaning
it
up
that
Mr
Weintraub
is
serious
about
doing
something
that
is
right
for
the
neighborhood
and
I
think
that
this
project
will
be
a
win-win
for
the
name
for
the
neighborhood,
as
well
as
the
city,
so
I
urge
you
to
to
to
accept
his
proposal.
Thank
you.
L
L
L
I
am
disabled,
I
have
Parkinson's
and
I'm
sorry.
This
is
a
little
difficult
for
me
to
to
speak
on,
but
I
have
Parkinson's
and
through
the
covid
I,
it's
not
a
fun
time
to
have
an
autoimmune
disease.
I
had
a
stroke
which
left
me
almost
I
needed
to
sell
my
home
for
financial
reasons,
because
of
this,
and
but
I
wasn't
able
to
thanks
to
my
health
situation
and
then
so
I
finally
was
able
to
list
it.
L
I
forced
myself
to
list
it
in
November
and
a
week
later,
the
vacation,
rental
ordinance
passed
and
so
I've
had
this
beautiful
home
that
all
these
Realtors
were
fighting
to
get
to
list,
and
all
this
and
I,
literally
in
four
months,
have
had
maybe
10
showings
and
the
problem.
For
this
is
the
fact
that
I
can't
get
or
afford
medical
help
at
this
point,
it's
impossible
for
me
to
get
medical
help.
I
have
neighbors
across
the
street
who
are
also
older
and
they
have
a
similar
situation.
L
They
need
to
list
their
home
for
things
like
that
and
they
can't
and
I
know
I'm
going
to
go
over
so
I
guess:
I'm
I'm,
just
appealing
to
sort
of
your
compassion
and
to
maybe
look
at
a
different
side
to
the
story
of
what's
happening
with
the
vacation,
rentals,
the
being
sort
of
Trapped
in
a
neighborhood
where
you
cannot
sell
your
home,
like
everyone
loves
my
home.
No
one
wants
to
buy
it
because
it
can't
be
vacation
rental.
Thank.
M
Good
evening,
honorable
mayor
Garner,
honorable
Pro,
tem,
Mayor,
Jeffrey,
verstein,
council,
member
de
heart,
holstage
and
Middleton
I
think
I
got
them
all
anyway.
My
name
is
Kate
castle
and
I'm,
a
full-time
resident
of
Palm
Springs
and
a
homeowner
I'm
speaking
tonight
on
agenda
item
3B
as
a
representative
of
the
board
of
directors
for
1ps,
as
well
as
being
the
co-chair
of
governmental,
Affairs
and
Relations
Committee
for
1ps.
M
The
board
of
directors
for
1ps
met
Monday
February
6
to
review
the
upcoming
agenda
item
3B
governing
vacation
rentals
in
Palm
Springs
the
as
there
are
three
options
being
presented
by
the
city
staff.
Our
board
discussed
the
pros
and
the
cons
of
each
and
determined
by
unanimous
vote
to
make
our
strong
position
of
support
for
option
number
two.
M
Where,
for
the
purpose
for
this
resolution
identifies
just
one
group,
the
board
took
this
position
for
many
reasons,
including
avoiding
creating
14
neighborhoods
without
regard
to
the
ordinance
authorizing
the
creation
of
the
current
52
recognized
neighborhoods
in
Palm
Springs.
To
elaborate
further,
we
felt
option
number
one.
Creating
14
new
neighborhoods
by
the
city
rather
than
organically
by
the
residents
themselves,
would
create
enforcement
issues
that
could
be
better
addressed
in
option
number.
M
Two:
we've
not
had
any
residents
seek
to
join
nearby
existing
neighborhoods,
as
suggested
in
operation
number
three
to
expand
a
neighborhood
by
a
city
decree
rather
than
from
residents
themselves,
to
remove
the
sense
of
community
that
was
developed
and
the
establishment
of
a
neighborhood
through
a
petition
with
signatures
of
support
from
the
residents
themselves.
Therefore,
we
respectfully
ask
option
number
two
be
adopted
for
the
purpose
of
this
resolution
governing
replication
rentals
and
thank
you
for
your
consideration.
N
Honorary
mayor
and
City
Council
Members,
thank
you
for
letting
me
speak
this
evening.
My
name
is
Mark
Davis
I'm,
a
preservationist
but
more
importantly,
I'm.
A
business
owner
I
have
been
in
Palm
Springs
for
20
years,
I
own
a
couple
of
businesses
here
we're
on
the
south
end.
So
we
do
have
issues
with
the
homeless
around
our
business
and
I'm
speaking
tonight
on
agenda,
see
r3c
I
should
say
the
Orca
Tree
Hotel
project,
I'm
familiar
with
a
developer.
He's
done
amazing
things
in
other
communities.

and
B
military
law
enforcement
tactics
of
snitches
informants,
entrapment
private
investigators,
paid
actors.
No
one
would
survive
such
civil
rights
violations.
Chief
Mills
operation,
Relentless
son
claims,
many
unhoused
are
convicts
insane
and
drug
addicts
in
need
of
secure
detention.
After
disaster,
an
entire
Community
comes
together.
Fema
and
Military
set
up
tents
for
victims
and
those
experiencing
internally
displacement.
O
They
have
end
goals
and
with
follow-up
goals
achieved
now,
law
enforcement,
referrals
to
social
service
agencies,
who
then
give
referrals
to
referrals
to
more
referrals
that
go
nowhere,
Merry-Go-Round
with
no
follow-through
or
any
end
goal
current
service
providers
grants
do
not
cover
much
of
what
unhoused
need
for
accomplishing
basic
survival
goals.
I
ask
U.S
California
at
Riverside,
County
Indian
nations
and
Palm
Springs
to
create
a
pilot
emergency
Grant,
a
refuge
Community
run
by
military
that
can
be
emulated
all
across
America
in
every
city.
O
Pilot
Grant,
designed
after
Maslow's
theory
of
needs,
a
pyramid
showing
that
basic
physical
and
safety
needs
food.
Water,
warmth
rest
must
be
met
before
higher
level.
What
psychological
love
esteem
self-fulfillment
can
be
satisfied.
Case
managers
create
an
individualized
client-focused
service
plan
by
a
follow-up.
Achievable
goals.
O
Follow
up
until
goals
are
attained,
shelters
need
an
overnight
percentage
of
bed
availability,
no
one
being
turned
away
just
because
they
did
not
know
policy
HIPAA,
compliant
phone
bank,
HIPAA,
compliant
Zoom
rooms,
appointments
for
case
management,
no
first
come
first
serve
disabled,
are
unable
to
comply
with
unreasonable
policy
and
compete
with
the
Department
of
Corrections
prison,
gang
modding
mentality.
These
individuals
block
first
come
first
serve
stop
deflecting
responsibility
onto
other
cities.
Case
management
need
to
pass
an
accountability,
score
of
quality
assurance
tied
to
their
grant
case.
O
P
P
F
P
He's
also
asked
for
additional
concessions
on
on
for
tax
abatement
and
filing
fees.
That's
not
an
issue
for
our
neighborhood,
except
to
say
that
at
this
point
we
don't
want
to
see
the
project
killed.
It's
it's
too
late
for
that
we'd
like
to
see
the
thing
go
forward
now
we
understand
that
an
apartment
building
is
being
proposed
for
that
location
and
the
event
that
the
hotel
project
fails
to
materialize.
P
C
P
R
Good
evening,
I'm
speaking
on
item
3A
I've
spent
a
great
deal
of
time
working
on
homeless
issues
from
co-founding
the
cvac
committee
on
homelessness
in
2007
and
the
city's
task
force.
Today,
where
I
am
a
member
of
the
citizens
committee
that
is
Consulting
on
the
resource
center,
one
of
the
most
important
parts
of
the
center
and
I
complement
the
city
on
this
Forward
Thinking
is
that
it
will
allow
unhoused
individuals
to
bring
their
pets
with
them.
R
As
many
of
these
pets
are
their
only
family,
Royce
did
not
allow
pets,
so
consequently,
many
unhoused
individuals
that
would
have
sought
help
did
not
because
they
would
not
leave
their
family
member
behind
both
the
federal
and
state
government
and
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Development
recognize
the
importance
of
this
and
fund
Services
related
to
pets
of
the
unhoused.
The
city
owns
one
of
the
most
successful
well-run
and
award-winning
no-kill
shelters,
The
Operators
of
the
shelter
have
long
anticipated,
providing
their
excellent
services
to
the
resource
center.
R
Their
involvement
is
not
just
to
make
sure
the
pets
of
the
homeless
have
a
place
to
say,
but
is
critical
in
so
many
other
ways,
animals
can
carry
communicable
diseases
that
can
be
passed
on
to
other
dogs,
rabies
and
other
life-threatening
diseases
are
appearing
much
more
frequently
in
older
dogs
and
puppies
with
low
immune
systems.
Unaltered
dogs
can
create
serious
dangerous
situations
and
or
create
situations
that
result
in
puppies
evaluations
of
pets
on
intake
is
almost
as
important
to
the
safety,
well-being
and
success
of
the
resource
center
as
client
intake.
R
What
Arrangements
have
been
made
for
doggy
day
care
as
residents
attend
employment
or
Health
appointments
off
campus?
There
is
nothing
on
this
plan
that
allocates
room
for
any
of
this,
there's
also
an
issue
with
approach
to
children's
play
area
being
right
next
to
the
dog
run.
Although
I
have
brought
this
up
on
many
occasions,
and
it's
not
changed
we're
asking
that
the
design
team
meet
with
experts
on
Animal
Welfare
from
the
friends
of
the
Palm
Springs
animal
shelter
and
build
in
some
spaces
for
their
services,
they
will
be
funding
available.
R
D
S
Thank
you.
So,
after
a
long
long
time,
we're
gonna
apparently
have
a
conversation
tonight
about
how
to
move
forward
with
the
Auberge
hotel
and
in
advance.
I
want
to
thank
the
council,
people
and
the
mayor
for
their
consideration
this
evening.
The
offer
that
I
made
of
a
significant
financial
penalty
for
non-performance.
S
Is
part
of
the
whole
package
and
that's
really
important
not
to,
in
my
opinion,
to
be
line
itemed
out.
I
also
wanted
to
speak
to
the
idea
of
the
tot
that
I'm
not
asking
the
city
for
any
additional
tot
and
the
staff
reporting
that
that's
probably
lying
on
on
my
fault,
because
the
staff's
done
a
fantastic
job
is
implying
that
we're
asking
for
an
additional
amount
of
tot.
S
Second
thing
is
the
amount
of
money
that
we've
asked
for
for
the
deferral
on
the
fees
applications
Etc,
which
we
did
in
another
city
successfully
before
we
are
willing
to
that's
a
very
important
because
it's
a
significant
number,
but
we're
willing
to
put
that
as
a
super
priority
as
well
to
the
city
for
year
three
and
ensure
through
the
city
attorney
and
my
attorney,
that
there
can
be
no
distributions
to
ownership
before
the
city
gets
those
monies.
So
the
city
will
be
in
a
priority
ahead
of
myself.
T
A
U
A
U
E
Mayor
members
of
Council
in
reviewing
the
ordinance
with
council
members
prior
to
this
evening's
meetings,
it
was
pointed
out
that
there
are
a
number
of
Corrections
that
need
to
be
made
and
in
reviewing
the
tape.
I
would
agree
with
those
Corrections.
What
I'm,
proposing
and
I'll
read
these
out
just
one
by
one
is
first
on
page,
seven
of
the
staff
report
under
Section
5.77.010
is
to
reinstate
the
language
that
has
been
stricken
relative
to
the
definition
of
an
adult
sex
venue
stating
that
it's
not
primarily
dedicated
to
providing
overnight
lodging.
E
We
would
reinstate
that
language
and
again,
that
was
my
error
in
Crossing
that
out.
Secondly,
in
section
5.77.010
relative
to
the
definition
of
specified
anatomical
Parts,
what
we're
proposing
is
to
eliminate
subsection
two
based
on
your
discussion
at
the
previous
meeting
and
then
finally,
the
last
proposed
correction
or
change
is
in
section
5.77.025.
E
This
is
under
subsection
20
relative
to
adult
entertainment
venues
to
eliminate
the
six
foot
distance
requirement,
and
so
those
are
the
three
Corrections
or
changes
that
I
would
propose
to
you
this
evening.
Based
on
the
scope
of
these
changes,
the
City
attorney
is
recommending
that
we
do
this
as
first
reading
this
evening
and
then
coming
back
at
second
reading
on
February
the
21st
in
your
staff
report
for
February.
The
21st
all
clearly
outline
those
proposed
Corrections
and
with
that
Mr
City
attorney.

Currently,
a
union
bank
branch,
this
property
was
formerly
known
as
the
Security
First
National
Bank
and
was
completed
in
1959..
This
one-story
commercial
building
was
completed
in
the
post-world
War
II
context
and
marks
the
change
and
vitality
that
was
brought
to
the
southern
part
of
downtown.
As
a
small
Financial
District
began
to
emerge,

the
right
shows
the
building
after
completion.
W
Additionally,
the
resource
must
be
evaluated
for
its
Integrity.
There
are
seven
topics
for
evaluating
Integrity
which
are
listed
here
and
while
there
have
been
some
minor
changes
to
the
property
over
the
years,
the
site
today
retains
historic
Integrity
in
all
seven
of
these
areas
and
finally,
staff
undertake
an
analysis
of
character,
defining
features
that
support
the
historic
significance
of
the
subject,
property
and-
and
that
is
sorry
summarized
here-
this
includes
characteristics
of
the
building,
as
well
as
the
site
and
the
Landscaping.
W
The
owners
of
the
property
who
I
believe
are
on
the
phone
to
speak
today,
do
not
support
the
proposed
request
for
historic,
designation,
but
based
on
the
analysis
of
the
property
staff
and
the
hspb
find
the
property
does
Merit
the
the
designation,
and
we
are
recommending
that
the
city
council
designate
the
site
in
accordance
with
the
resolution
that
is
in
your
package.
That
concludes
my
presentation.
We
are
here
for
any
questions.
W
A
U
Chris,
as
you've
noted
the
owner
is
opposed.
Can
you
give
us
some
description
as
to
why
they
are
opposed,
but
I'm
sure
we'll
have
an
opportunity
here
directly
from
them?
So
my
second
and
more
important
question
for
you
is
what
is
our
precedence
in
the
past
where
there
has
been
owner
opposition
and
under
what
circumstances?
W
Thank
you
for
the
question
and
they
are
here
and
they
will
certainly
speak
to
their
concerns
in
more
detail
than
I
can,
but,
as
I
understand
them.
I
think
that
they
are
concerned
about
the
restrictions
that
the
designation
may
put
on
their
property
in
terms
of
making
changes
to
the
property
or
you
know
if
they
were
to
pursue
a
new
tenant.
How
that
may
attract
or
or
detract
a
potential
future
tenant
from
from
taking
the
space.
W
Our
staff,
Sarah
and
Ken
Lyons
here
did
hold
several
conversations
with
them
to
walk
them
through
the
process
and
just
to
sort
of
try
to
calm
some
of
those
fears.
We
don't
see
this
as
necessarily
you
know,
being
something
that
prohibits
you
from
making
changes
to
the
building
or
or
you
know,
Finding
ways
to
utilize
it
in
the
way
that
you
want,
but
rather
just
making
sure
that
you
work
through
the
process
with
us
to
make
sure
that
the
changes
aren't
chipping
away
at
the
Integrity
or
the
historical
significance
of
the
building.
W
So
it
really
is
just
an
added
level
of
oversight
to
make
sure
that
we're
protecting
that
important
resource.
In
terms
of
precedent,
I
understand
we
have
done
this
in
the
past.
I
have
three
examples
here.
Well,
the
first
is
the
Town
and
Country
site,
so
Town
and
Country
Center.
So
we
we
did
designate
that
building
over
the
objections
of
the
property
owner.
In
that
case,
we've
also
designated
the
Cody
gas
station
talk
with
Plaza
and
La
Serena
Villas.
W
D
W
I'm
not
sure
about
precedent,
for
that
I
mean
I,
think
that
that
was
more
of
a
description.
So
originally
it
had
been
defined
as
Lush,
landscape
and
I
think
that
there
was
direction
from
the
Historic
Site
preservation
board
that
felt
that
wasn't
an
accurate
capture
of
the
original
landscaping
and
the
landscaping
that's
there
today,
which
is
really
more
native.
It's
more
desert
and
drought
resistant.
It's
it's
got
Boulders
and
rocks.
W
W
X
Good
evening,
Ken
Lyon
with
the
planning
department,
if
there's
an
applicant
who
owns
historic
building
of
the
sort
and
there's
changes
that
they
want
to
make
whether
to
the
building
or
to
the
landscape.
If
the
Landscaping
is
designed,
excuse
me
designated
as
a
contributing
feature.
The
hspb
would
evaluate
the
possible
changes
in
this
particular
case
when
the
architect
designed
the
building,
the
Landscaping
was
an
integral
part
of
the
way
that
he
put
the
design
together,
and
so
we
would
work
with
the
applicant,
obviously
we're
in
a
drought
condition.
X
D
X
D
X
D
X
V
W
The
2020
report,
as
I
understand
it,
was
the
one
that
was
undertaken
by
the
Palm
Springs
preservation
foundation
in
support
of
making
the
request
to
the
historic
preservation
board
to
initiate,
as
part
of
their
work
plan,
the
designation
of
the
property.
We
then
commissioned
once
the
hspb
determined
that
they
did
want
to
pursue
the
designation
of
it.
W
We
then
commissioned
a
second
report
to
make
sure
that
it
was
sort
of
a
neutral
city-sponsored
report
to
confirm
or-
or
you
know,
evaluate,
the
findings
that
were
in
that
third
party
report,
which
we
completed
I
believe
at
some
point
in
2022,
which
was
then
the
basis
of
moving
forward
with
the
designation
of
the
hspb.
So.
W
W
We
as
soon
as
as
it
was
requested
to
be
put
on
to
the
hspb's
work
program
in
2021
there
were
staff
did
have
a
conversation
with
the
property
owners
to
say
that
this
was
coming
before
hspb
to
explain
that
the
request
had
been
made
and
that
it
was
going
to
be
on
the
hspb
hspb's
agenda
to
pursue
designation
that
was
prior
to
June
of
2021.
yeah.
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Y
Holstage.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
staff
report
in
the
report
now.
I
just
have
a
few
questions.
So,
along
that
line,
was
there
a
precipitating
factor
that
caused
this
to
be
submitted
or
that
hspb
then
took
it
up
because
of
the
application?
Was
it
the
sale
of
the
property
or
was
there
some
other
factor
that
led
it
to
be
submitted?
I
know
it
was
submitted
by
the
preservation
Foundation,
but
then
hsbb
considered
it
I.
W
Don't
know
that
there
was
any
specific
factor.
I
do
know
that
you
know
there.
There
is
a
lot
of
interest
in
identifying
and
evaluating
these
properties
across
the
city
by
pspf
and
I
believe
this
was
one
of
them.
I,
don't
know
if
it
was
precipitated
by
the
sale.
I
do
know.
Somebody
from
the
foundation
is
going
to
be
speaking
in
public
hearing,
so
they
may
be
able
to
to
speak
to
that.
Y
So
the
staff
report
states
that
it
meets
Criterion
too,
because
it's
the
report
says
It's
associated
with
the
artist
of
the
panels,
Lawrence
Tenney
Stevens,
and
then
it
also
uses
that
same
fact
to
meet
Criterion
five,
usually
when
I've
sat
up
here
for
five
years
and
we've
considered
Criterion
two
it's
if
it's
someone's
home
or
it's
more
associated
with
their
life
in
a
different
way
than
just
the
artist
or
the
Builder.
Usually
we
use
different
criterions,
for
that.
So
could
you
just
describe?
Y
X
That
was
significant
and,
in
this
case,
the
bringing
in
of
a
internationally
known
artist
to
do
those
Mass
relief
panels
became
a
an
incident
or
a
factor
that
allowed
this
person
to
meet
that
criteria
of
persons
of
significance.
The
criteria
number
five
regarding
artistic,
artistic
High,
artistic
value
or
a
person
who
is
an
architect
or
other
whose
influences
his
peers
is
looking
at
the
criteria
under
different
circumstances.
This
is
more
around
the
creative
ability
of
that
particular
person
and
the
ability
of
his
work
to
actually
influence
others
in
his
profession.
Y
Thank
you,
so
you
think
it's
enough
to
meet
Criterion
too.
Yes,
okay,
thank
you
and
then
I
just
have
one
other
question.
There
was
opposition
in
public
comment,
so
we've
received
a
letter.
I
know
there
were
a
few
received
by
this
city,
but
this
one
stating
we've
received
it
on
February,
2nd,
describing
opposition
because
of
problems
and
flight
in
that
area,
and
the
problem
with
the
Tenon
and
the
potential
the
tenant
leaves
and
then
concerns
about
basically
Redevelopment
and
blight.
W
Sure
I
think
I
would
reiterate
that
our
position
is
not
that
the
that
this
designation
is
meant
to
be
an
impediment
to
the
use
or
development
of
the
site
and
so
I
think
again
we
would
work
whether
with
the
current
property
owner
or
tenant
or
a
future
tenant
to
you
know,
work
through
the
process
as
effectively
as
possible
to
make
sure
they
can
get
into
the
space
and
the
space
is
occupied.
The
designation
is
certainly
not
intended
to
preclude
the
site
from
being
used.
W
If
you
know,
I
think
we
in
fact
want
to
preserve
the
site
to
make
sure
that
it
continues
to
be
used
in
the
way
that
it
was
intended
to
and
originally
constructed,
and
then
it
contributes
to
our
local
history
and
historic
resources.
So
certainly
appreciate
that
there
are
ongoing
issues
regarding
that
across
the
city.
I
don't
see
this
as
as
necessarily
encouraging
or
exacerbating
those
issues,
but
rather
we're
hoping
that
it,
you
know,
allows
the
site
to
be
used
for
years
to
come.
Y
Y
W
A
Q
Good
evening
I'm
Barbara
Marshall
with
the
Palm
Springs
preservation
Foundation.
Why
should
the
Security
First
National
Bank
building
be
designated
a
Class
1
historic
resource
here
are
10
good
reasons,
one
the
building
was
at
the
top
of
the
hspb's
work
plan.
Two
the
building
was
evaluated
by
an
architect
who
meets
the
department
of
Interiors
education
and
experience
requirements
under
title
36,
CFR
part
61..
Q
Three,
the
building
was
likewise
found
to
qualify
for
designation
by
Northwind
resource
Consulting.
An
independent,
firm
hired
by
the
city
for
the
hspb
recommends
the
building
for
designation
five
City
staff
recommends
the
building
for
designation
six.
It's
the
city's
only
building
by
renowned
Asian,
American,
modernist,
architect,
Joseph
Wong
seven,
although
only
one
criteria
is
required.
The
building
meets
three
of
the
city's
criteria
for
historic,
designation.
Q
and
finally
reason:
10
the
building
is
still
60
years
later
wonderfully
intact.
It's
Curious
that
the
current
out
of
town
owners
do
not
support
this
nomination
when,
in
addition
to
repurposing
opportunities,
the
Mills
act
benefits
could
be
significant.
Oddly
at
the
hspb
meeting,
they
offered
to
donate
the
sculpture,
while
they
might
think
that
a
gesture
of
Goodwill,
because
the
sculpture
is
integral
to
the
building,
it's
a
giant
red
flag.
Q
Z
You
good
evening,
mayor
city,
council
and
staff.
My
name
is
Gary
Johns
and
I'm
here
tonight
to
read
a
letter
from
Susan
sakoi
Jensen
into
the
record
dear
mayor
Garner
and
members
of
the
council.
I'm
writing
in
support
of
the
class
1
designation
for
the
Security
First
National
Bank
building
I
am
the
original
author
of
the
report.
Z
Research
revealed
the
building
as
a
very
substantive
part
of
the
history
of
Palm
Springs
part
of
the
research
includes
finding
the
family
members
of
the
original
bank
manager,
Herbert
Sampson,
his
daughter,
Ruth
Sampson
Schroeder
and
her
husband,
Don
recall
a
great
deal
about
the
project
and
they
currently
still
reside
in
Palm
Springs.
This
story
is
part
of
their
legacy,
as
well
as
the
legacy
of
Palm
Springs
During
the
period
during
the
properties
period
of
significance.
Z
I
understand
the
changing
demographics
of
the
banking
environment
and
the
challenge
to
lease
this
building
to
new
tenants
if
necessary,
I
am
an
architect
and
the
owner
of
multiple
properties,
including
those
listed
on
the
national
register
of
historic
places.
I
speak
as
a
landlord
as
well.
Historic
designation
has
added
a
value
to
our
properties
and
the
tenants
are
proud
to
be
a
part
of
the
local
history.
Z
This
building
is
a
prime
candidate
for
adaptive
reuse,
which
can
be
enhanced
by
historic,
designation
class.
1
designation
does
not
limit
the
possibilities
on
the
on
the
contrary,
it
excuse
me
enhances
them,
and
this
is
signed
sincerely
Susan
sakoi,
Jensen
and
I'd
like
to
enter
that
into
the
record.
Thank.
Z
AA
AA
Okay,
great
yeah
hi,
my
name
is
Chris
Jairus
and
I'm.
A
full-time
resident
I
live
actually
across
the
street
from
the
bank,
so
I
know
it
well,
and
you
know
contrary
to
the
prior
comment,
you
know:
I
I
do
oppose
this,
and
and
I'm
not
an
out
of
town
person.
I
I,
actually
live
across
the
street
and,
and
the
reason
I
do
is-
is
pretty
simple.
It's
it's
really
I'm
worried
about
the
blight
of
of
what
happens
if
this
thing
goes
empty
and
this
is
not
an
Envy
situation.
AA
That
the
city
pointed
out
is
that
the
Robinson's
building
the
old
alley-
and
that
was
re-let-
that's
true
and
now
they're
they're
opening
a
restaurant,
but
how
long
did
that
take
to
get
done?
I
have
a
feeling.
It
was
a
long
time
and
what's
happened
to
the
the
homeless,
people
that
were
living
on
the
porch
there
they've
just
moved
them
out
into
the
street,
and
now
that
activation
is,
is
kind
of
helping
bring
some
Vitality
to
that
corner,
and
we
need
more
of
that
on
the
street,
not
less.
AA
So
my
my
whole
point
is:
we
need
to
do
what
we
can
to
to
get
these
places
leased
and
keep
them
leased
and
keep
them
occupied
and
and
be
vigilant
and
not
have
more
problems
like
we've
had
anyway.
That's
that's
my
comment
and
I
appreciate
you
listening
to
me
and
I
hope
we
can
have
a
good
discussion
on
this.
AB
Thank
you
for
one
of
the
owners,
one
of
the
three
families
that
owned
this
property.
As
you
guys
know,
it's
a
union
bank
right
now,
Union
Bank
just
got
purchased
by
U.S
bank,
which
means
there's
a
very
good
chance.
This
attendant
will
be
vacating.
Our
goal
is
to
do
change
nothing.
We
bought
the
building.
AB
We
would
like
it
to
stay
how
it
is,
but
we
obviously
have
a
great
concern
that,
in
a
very
short
period
of
time
that
it
will
become
vacant
and
what
we
want
to
have
is
a
high
quality
tenant
that
belongs
here.
That
is
a
good
addition
to
the
community.
Our
concern
is
like
for
us.
We
wouldn't
have
bought
the
building
if
it
was
already
designated
as
this,
because
it
limits
some
of
the
possibilities
we're
not
trying
to
change
it
dramatically.
AB
It's
an
important
investment
for
us
and
we
really
want
to
to
use
it
for
the
best
that
we
can
for
the
ability.
Once
we
got
past
what
the
building
is
during
the
last
meeting,
it
definitely
felt
like
it
was
an
extension
of
all
the
time.
That
said,
hey
it's
going
to
be
into
the
parking
lot,
and
now
it's
the
Landscaping.
It
seems
like
just
an
overreach
as
it
kept
getting
further
and
further.
AB
So
we're
just
trying
to
figure
out
a
way
to
make
this,
so
we
get
a
high
quality
tenant
there
and
because,
if
it's
not
we're
gonna
get
a
b
or
a
c
tenant,
the
neighbors
are
not
going
to
be
happy
with
the
what's
going
to
happen
to
them.
When
that
happens,
so
we're
going
to
do
the
best
we
can
with
whatever
it
has
been.
So
we
look
forward
to
you
guys
if
you
want
more
of
a
communication,
a
conversation,
but
we've
been
against
this
from
the
start.
We
were
not
involved
in
any
of
the
process.
AB
A
D
X
Yes,
what
you're,
looking
at
the
distinction
that
you're
talking
about
is
the
difference
between
what
are
character
defining
and
what
are
not
when
a
designation
of
historic
nature
is
made,
it's
made
on
the
parcel
itself,
so
the
eligibility
for
a
Mills
act
contract,
for
example,
is
related
to
the
parcel
which,
on
which
the
tax
number
is
based.
So
what
the
council
chooses
to
do
to
do
with
this?
If
it
does
choose
to
designate
this
parcel,
as
you
identify
the
portions
or
the
things
on
that
parcel
that
are
the
historically
significant
things.
X
U
Thank
you,
I'm
really
struggling
with
this.
One
I
absolutely
want
to
save
this
building,
and
we
have
precedent
that
we
are
at
times
willing
to
designate
a
structure
as
a
class
1
structure
when
the
owner
does
not
want
that
to
happen.
And,
frankly,
some
of
those
precedents
have
demonstrated
that
that
has
been
successful.
U
If
one
need
only
to
look
at
the
talk,
what's
Plaza,
for
which
I'm
very
familiar,
that
the
decisions
of
Planning,
Commission
and
city
council
to
preserve
those
buildings
made
them
actually
better
buildings
for
the
owners
and
certainly
for
the
community.
That
said
a
criteria
that
just
simply
says
once
you
meet
the
criteria.
U
The
desires
of
the
owner
of
the
building
are
essentially
immaterial
is
something
that
I'm
not
comfortable
with
I.
Think
we
need
to
have
a
further
criteria
when
there
is
opposition
and
I
do
not
think
the
owners
in
our
city
get
to
veto
that
that
will
never
happen.
So
what
I
heard
from
the
owner
was
a
desire
for
further
conversation,
and
it
would
certainly
be
my
recommendation
that
Council
be
absolutely
clear.
U
We
are
going
to
save
this
building
we're
going
to
save
most,
particularly
the
relief
that's
attached
to
the
building
as
it
is
now,
but
that
we
give
the
owners
and
staff
and
the
preservation
Community
a
chance
to
to
continue
a
conversation
to
see
if
we
can
come
up
with
something
that
would
be
a
designation
that
everyone
is
comfortable
with.
The
last
thing
we
need
is
another
blighted
building
in
Palm
Springs.
D
So
so,
first
of
all,
I
just
want
to
say:
I
I
am
a
big
advocate
for
preservation
of
historic
buildings
in
this
in
this
city
and
I.
Think
it's
it's
not
just
or
architectural
importance,
but
it's
also
important
to
our
brand
and,
as
we
do
head
into
modernism
week
with
a
hundred
thousand
plus
attendees,
you
see
how
important
it
is
to
our
economy
as
well
and
I've
luck.
I've
walked
this
building.
It
is
a
beautiful
building.
My
comments
about
the
landscape
were
not
so
much
the
Landscaping
isn't
integral.
D
I
can
see
that
it's
just
whether
there's
strict
controls
on
the
plants,
which
right
now
are
actually
a
little
bit
hodgepodge
in
from
what
I've
seen
there's
Bougainvillea
and
palm
trees,
and
also
real
native
plants,
but
I
also
in
full
disclosure
I
was
the
tenant
in
the
Town
and
Country.
At
the
time
it
was
made
class
one
historic
over
the
landlord's
objections,
so
I
have
some
experience
with
this,
and
I
did
feel
like
I
contributed
to
proof
that
adaptive
reuse
does
work,
but
I
will
say
it's
not
always
easy.
D
Union
Bank
is
not
only
being
sold
to
U.S
Bank,
but
the
number
of
Bank
branches
are
dwindling,
so
it
seems
unlikely
that
there
would
be
another
bank
just
waiting
to
go
in,
although
that
could
certainly
happen
and
that
the
the
most
important
way
to
ensure
preservation
of
the
commercial
building
is
to
make
sure
that
it's
commercially
viable
and
so,
while
I
support
very
much
the
preservation.
Historic
designation
of
this
building
I
would
strongly
urge
the
staff
and
preservation
Community
to
work
with
the
owner
and
any
other
future
attendance.
D
To
assure
that
somebody
can
occupy
this
and
be
able
to
make
it
work
and
Thrive
and
prove
that
adaptive
reuse
continue
to
approve,
as
we
have
done
in
other
than
men,
Capital
Plaza,
as
none
of
many
others
that
it
can
work
so
I,
just
I
think
the
work
of
the
preservation
Community
has
started
with
this,
but
it
should
continue
while,
while
we
have
when
the
building,
if
the
building
is
sold
or
if
there's
a
new
tenant
that
moves
in
to
help
help
do
what
they
can
to
make
it
viable.
So
those
are
my
comments.
V
I
agree
with
certainly
with
Pro
tem,
Bernstein
and
council
member
Middleton
have
said
and
I
just
I
want
to
emphasize.
You
know
if
we
don't
save
the
buildings,
then
they're
just
not
going
to
be
here
and
we're
going
to
lose
all
the
character
of
Palm
Springs
and
that's
that's
not
an
issue,
that's
not
what
we're
debating
and
if
any
building
that
we're
going
to
save
and-
and
this
certainly
would
fall
into
that
category.
U
The
motion
is
to
defer
action
on
this
proposal
and
to
direct
staff
to
sit
down
with
the
owners
with
the
preservation
Community.
Hopefully
all
three
groups
sitting
together
and
to
do
their
very
best
to
work
through
a
resolution
that
preserves
the
building
as
intact
and
but
also
makes
the
best
effort
possible
to
ensure
that
the
property
is
a
viable
property
to
be
reused.
Y
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
I,
agree
with
everything
that's
been
said.
Thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
saying
that
so
well,
and
thank
you
to
staff.
You
know
this
is
an
important
building
in
the
city
of
Palm,
Springs
I
agree.
We
want
to
preserve
it,
especially
the
panels
are
just
really
incredible,
but
absolutely
want
to
see
a
way
where
this
works
for
everyone
so
to
staff.
Is
that
do
you
procedurally
need
anything
in
the
motion?
W
D
A
Sure,
thank
you
for
that
clarification
before
we
take
a
vote.
I
agree
with
my
colleagues
in
terms
of
the
importance
of
saving
the
building,
but
also
have
the
same
concerns
about
making
sure
the
owner
is
a
part
of
the
process
and
I
do
want
to
just
make
one
comment
regarding
the
Robinsons
building.
I
do
know
a
little
bit
about
the
history
of
those
current
tenants
and
the
project
was
delayed
because
of
the
pandemic,
and
it
was
not
because
there
was
not
a
desire
to
open
up
that
restaurant.
A
F
A
AC
And
good
morning,
good
evening,
mayor
mayor,
pretending,
council
members,
the
item
before
you
this
evening
is
a
request
to
adopt
a
fee
for
the
vacation
rental
Junior
permit
in
November
28th.
This
year
past
year,
Council
adopted
ordinance
2075,
which
amended
the
vacation
rental
Palm
Springs
Vista
code,
section
5.25,
the
ordinance
created
a
junior
vacation
registration
certificate.
This
is
a
new
certificate.
It
is
limited
to
six
contracts
per
year.
Those
are
the
amount
of
times
that
you
may
rent
the
home
and
it
is
not
subject
to
the
neighborhood
cap
restriction.
AC
So
for
those
neighborhoods
that
have
exceeded
the
20
percent
saturation
limit,
they
would
be
eligible
to
apply
for
this
permit
in
re
viewing
the
current
number
of
permits,
which
is
at
2613
and
reviewing
the
increase
that
we
have
received
for
the
junior
registration
permit.
We
are
proposing
that
we
calculated
the
number
utilizing
1
306,
which
is
one
half
of
the
current
permit.
Currently
the
fee
for
a
regular
vacation
rental
permit
is
one
thousand
and
nine
dollars
the
permit
fees
do
reflect
the
amount
that
it
costs
to
process
these
permits.
AC
We
do
not
generate
income,
so
we
only
collect
fees
to
pay
for
the
staff
time
for
the
issuance
for
the
enforcement
and
for
the
program
of
the
vacation
rental
program.
We
did
in
2020,
engage
with
capital
accounting
Partners
to
conduct
a
thorough
review
of
the
costs
associated
with
the
vacation
roller
program.
They
conducted
numerous
staff
interviews
and
reviewed
processes
and
they
were
able
to
calculate
the
cost
to
generate
vacation
rental
permits.
We
utilize
those
figures
updated,
of
course,
the
current
salaries
of
positions
in
determining
what
the
fee
would
be
for
this
junior
permit.
AC
This
is
a
copy
of
the
table
that
is
in
your
staff
report.
It
lists
all
the
positions
in
the
department.
It
has
our
rate
of
pay
the
amount
of
hours
it
takes
to
generate
the
permits
in
calculating
in
the
current
permit.
We
divided
all
staff
time
about
one
half,
with
the
exception
of
one
account
clerk
position
because
they
do
the
entire
paper
processing
of
the
permit,
so
theirs
would
still
remain
at
a
hundred
percent.
AC
Here
you
will
see
the
totals.
There
is
also
Finance
positions,
support
from
code
and
PD
as
well,
when
they
have
to
respond
to
Vacation
Rental
calls
for
the
total
amount
of
Labor
dollars
that
was
divided
by
the
number
of
projected
permits
that
we
anticipate,
which
came
to
the
total
of
642
and
53
cents,
which
is
why
we
are
recommending
the
cost
of
642
dollars.
We
will
also
be
monitoring
the
processing
to
determine
if
that
amount
is
correct.
This
is
a
new
permit
class,
so
we
do
not
know
how
it
will
impact
code.
AC
We
do
not
know
how
Impact
Staff
as
well.
There
will
be
different
monitoring
necessary
as
opposed
to
regular
permits
due
to
the
contract
limit
restrictions,
and,
additionally,
we
are
in
the
process
of
implementing
new
software
to
assist
with
permitting
so
that
will
also
Impact
Staff
time.
So
we
do
want
Council
to
know
that
we
will
be
monitoring
this
and
bringing
it
back
to
council
should
we
need
to
for
additional
review
and
Analysis.
AC
D
U
Thank
you,
and
thanks
for
all
of
the
work
that's
gone
into,
this
I
do
have
some
concerns
regarding
Staffing
and
as
to
whether
or
not
there's
adequate
Staffing
here
I'm
willing
to
go
forward
with
this,
and
let's
take
it
step
by
step
and
determine
what
the
needs
are,
since
we
are
really
embarking
on
to
some
new
territory
here,
but
I'm
going
to
place
it
down
immediately.
That
Staffing
looks
to
be
very
lean
to
me,
and
this
is
an
area
whenever
our
staffing
has
been
lean.
U
The
temptation
to
exceed
the
six
permits
that
is
allowed
is
going
to
be
very
strong
for
many
of
those,
and
that
is
going
to
require
additional
enforcement
activities
to
make
sure
our
contract
limits
are
not
exceeded
there.
So
that's
probably
more
common
than
question,
but
it
comes
back
to
the
simple
question:
are
you
certain?
You
have
the
staff
you
need
to
do
this.
AC
I
am
extremely
proud
of
the
staff
that
our
department
has.
They
are
very
hard
working.
We
have
discussed
this
internally
in
preparation
for
this
report.
One
of
the
items
that,
as
I
stated
is
we
do
have
new
software
that
will
be
implemented.
That
is
going
to
help
tremendously
with
the
paper
processing,
essentially
eliminating
the
majority
of
it,
which
will
allow
staff
to
focus
on
the
enforcement
of
this
program.
A
A
V
Yeah
I
think
I
fully
plan
on
supporting
the
proposal
for
the
junior
permit.
I'm
really
concerned,
though,
about
the
bandwidth
that
we
think
our
current
staff
has
and
we're
not
building
into
our
total
cost.
The
Staffing
costs
that
may
exist
so
I'm
looking
at
10
hours,
processing
for
each
application
that
comes
in
for
1306
applications
and
that
were
assuming
two
staff
members
are
going
to
take
on
the
full
load
of
processing
those
applications.
D
AC
Yes,
it
could
go
down
so
we'd
like
I,
say
that
we
have
a
new
software
program
given
about
us
which
will
be
implemented
and
we
are
looking
at
March
and
that's
going
to
help
tremendously
with
the
paper
processing.
So
that
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
didn't
propose
these
staff
at
this
time.
We
don't
know
how
that
software
is
going
to
Impact
Staff,
but
we
believe
it
will
be
all
positive.
D
Okay
and
I
agree
with
councilmember
Middleton.
We
want
to
I
I
think
there
will
be
a
good
demand
for
this
and
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
they
aren't
getting
around
our
current
ordinance.
This
was
a.
This
was
a
good
opportunity
for
people
to
have
limited
rentals
and
especially
at
Key
times.
So.
Thank
you.
A
Great,
thank
you
all
so
much
I
am
also
concerned
about
Staffing
and
I
know.
I
was
recently
at
a
conference
and
there's
a
company
that
monitors
vacation,
rentals
and
make
sure
and
notifies
the
city
about
whether
or
not
there
are
illegal
rentals
and
does
all
of
that
work
for
us
and
I
know
that
many
other
cities
in
the
valley
use
that
so
I.
AC
A
Fantastic
and
I
think
Veronica
probably
had
another
meeting
at
some
point,
would
could
get
an
update
about
how
that
software
is
working
and
if
there's
any
additional
Staffing
or
needs
that
you,
your
department,
has
I
think
as
you're
you're
hearing.
We
clearly
want
to
support
your
efforts.
Do
we
have
a
motion
on
from
anyone
go
ahead.
U
A
Great
thank
you
very
much.
The
next
item
item
2C,
which
is
an
application
for
the
Villa
Via
Roma
homeowners
association,
is
going
to
be
moved
to
our
next
meeting
on
February
21st
2023..
So
now
we
are
now
moving
on
to
item
3A,
I.
Think
council,
member
holstich
is
on
her
way,
so
I'll
just
introduce
the
item.
Item
3A
is
to
appropriate
three
million
dollars
for
the
Palm
Springs
navigation.
Center
approve
a
resolution
adopting
a
non-discrimination
policy
for
a
home
key
funded
projects
and
receive
an
update
on
the
navigation
Center
project.
AD
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
mayor
Pro,
tem,
council
members.
This
item
involves
various
requests
for
ongoing
implementation
of
the
navigation
Center.
That
includes
appropriating
additional
funds
for
the
project,
adopting
a
non-discrimination
policy
for
home
key
funded
programs
and
to
provide
an
update
on
the
navigation
Center
project
and
to
provide
you
with
an
update
on
the
project.
AD
Design
is
our
project
architect
Lauren
wrath
who
is
with
jfak
Linda
Barack
is
also
available
to
answer
questions
you
may
have
on
the
operational
aspect
of
the
project
and
Greg
Rodriguez
with
the
County
of
Riverside,
who
we
are
partnering
with
on
this
project
is
also
available
and
staff
will
be
available
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
Why
don't
I
have
Greg
come
on
up
to
provide
some
comments
from
the
counting
perspective
and.
AE
Good
evening,
mayor
nice
to
be
able
to
call
you
mayor
and
council
members
and
again,
congratulations
mayor,
Pro,
Tim,
Bernstein
and
Mr
darhart
I'm
not
going
to
spend
a
lot
of
time.
I
know
that
even
the
new
members
of
council
have
followed
this
development
very
closely,
and
but
we
as
a
county,
continue
to
partner.
We
actually
were
able
I.
Think
most
of
you
know
be
able
to
allocate
another
5.5
million
dollars
for
the
project
from
our
partnership
with
Inland
Empire
Health
Plan
through
some
Cal
lame
dollars.
AE
AD
AF
AF
Okay,
all
right
so
we're
checking
back
in
with
an
update
on
the
Palm
Springs
navigation.
Center,
we'll
talk
through
this
first
of
all
kind
of
review,
the
site,
design
we'll
show
some
floor
plans
for
buildings,
8
and
24,
which
are
the
service
buildings
on
the
project
and
then
we'll
show
some
floor
plans
for
the
modular
units,
the
80
units
of
housing
that
this
project
will
be
providing.
AF
AF
This
is
the
site
plan
kind
of
diagramming
out
a
lot
of
the
thinking
of
the
northmost
building.
Eight.
There
is
the
primary
kind
of
the
it's
a
day-to-day
Building
open
during
regular
daytime
hours,
where
there's
staff,
who
can
wear
initial
intake
for
people
who
come
to
live
in
the
navigation,
Center
housing
would
meet
with
case
managers
and
whatnot
Building
24.
AF
We'll
look
at
the
plan
for
that
shortly,
but
it
provides
more
around
the
clock,
Staffing
and
services
to
the
people
who
would
live
in
the
housing
and
here's
the
housing
units
at
the
southwest
side
of
the
site,
they're
arranged
in
these
rows
and
along
a
central
Promenade
that
connects
between
the
two
service
buildings,
eight
and
24,
at
the
Northeast,
all
the
way
to
the
southwest
corner,
where
there
will
be
a
Children's
Place
structure
and
a
fenced
dog
run
for
residents
that
have
their
pets
with
them.
To
get
some
exercise.
AF
The
units
are
connected
kind
of
facing
each
other
to
create
little
kind
of
sub
communities
within
this
neighborhood,
and
you
can
see
the
units
that
are
in
the
darker
blue
those
mean
it's
stacked,
two
stories
high.
So
in
order
to
get
all
the
housing
units
onto
the
site,
we
did
have
to
stack
some
of
them.
AF
The
southeast
corner
of
the
site
is
some
parking
areas.
We
also
have
the
Green
Arrow.
The
Green
Arrow
here
is
showing
where
Vehicles
like
service
trucks
would
come
if
they're
having
deliveries
for
the
kitchen
there's
also
like
a
trash
compactor
room
in
this
area
as
well,
so
we'll
I
think
move
on
to
the
floor
plans.
Next
we're
going
to
look
at
building
eight,
the
north
most
building
first
and
then
building
24.
AF
This
is
the
floor
plan
for
building
eight.
This
is
where
someone
is
coming
to
live
in
the
modular
housing.
They'd,
initially
come
off
of
McCarthy
Road.
Through
these
this.
These
stores
they
check
in
with
reception
and
then
there's
a
series
of
intake
staff
case
managers
that
would
help
them
get
situated
and
make
a
plan
for
or
help
them
make
arrangements
in
the
housing.
This
building
also
includes
conference
room,
there's
Employment
Services
computers
for
people
living
in
the
housing
to
use,
as
well
as
old
work,
job
workshops,
get
additional
training
and
job
seeking
activities.
AF
There's
a
multi-purpose
room
here
which
could
be
used
for
different
uses
by
the
community,
as
well
as
staff
and
residents
of
the
navigation,
Center
Building
24.
So
that's
to
the
south
of
building.
Eight
is
primarily
you.
It
is
not
used
by
people
coming
off
the
street.
You
know
the
public.
This
is
only
really
used
by
residents
of
the
modular
unit
housing,
so
they
their
housing,
is
to
the
the
west
of
here.
AF
They
would
come
from
their
units
in
through
these
doors,
there's
a
security
office
here
which
has
sight
lines
out
onto
the
site
as
well
as
they'll,
have
connection
to
security
cameras,
monitoring
the
site
and
some
people
who
live
in
the
housing
would
come
in
through
this
through
those
stores
they
can
check
in
with
security
office,
but
they
have
access
here
to
a
community,
dining
room
and
multi-purpose
room.
They
can
enjoy
meals
here
or
and
as
well
as
this
larger
Community
Corridor,
which
they
can
have
gatherings
in
there's.
AF
The
purple
area
here
is
a
commercial
kitchen
that
can
be
used
to
prepare
meals
and
then
there's
also
other
services
in
this
building
for
residents
laundry
facilities
and
there's
a
Health
and
Wellness
Center.
That
may
include
some
recuperative
care
services
for
people
who
are
recovering
from
an
illness
and
we're
discharged
from
the
hospital
there's.
Also
you
can
see
in
the
gray
at
the
South,
that's
the
location
of
the
loading
dock
and
trash
room
and
from
there
we're
going
to
look
back
at
the
modular
units.
AF
This
is
an
aerial
view,
we're
looking
from
up
high
at
the
West
part
of
the
site.
This
gray
in
the
front
is
that
building
C,
which
we're
not
developing
as
part
of
the
site.
When
you
see
in
the
back
view,
there
is
that's
Building
24,
so
the
modular
units
are
arranged
you
can
see.
Some
of
them
are
stacked
too
high,
we're
still
finalizing
kind
of
colors
and
designs.
So
none
of
this
is
is
decided
or
finalized.
AF
Quite
yet,
but
you
can,
you
can
see
how
they're
arranged
and
how
that
masking
Works,
how
the
trees
sort
of
help
shield
and
shelter
and
make
it
more
Pleasant
area.
This
back
corner
here
is
where
the
dog
run
in
the
children's
play
area
will
be
and
here's
some
plans
for
those
modular
units,
so
there's
going
to
be
80
units
total
of
housing
provided
the
typical
we're
using
these
prefab
modular
units
because
they
can
get
built
faster,
there's
a
lot
of
efficiency
that
provides
and
the
typical
unit
is
10
feet
by
40
feet
long.
AF
This
is
what
we
call
the
standard
studio
type
that
actually
includes
three
living
units
within
it
Studio
units
and
each
of
those
will
have
a
bed
with
under
bed
storage.
Each
unit
has
its
own
individual,
shower,
toilet
and
sink,
and
then
there's
space
for
a
microwave
under
counter
refrigerator,
a
hot
plate,
so
people
can
prepare
their
own
meals,
there's
heating
and
air
conditioning
and
windows
for
natural
light.
There's
some
variations
on
this.
This
is
what
we
call
a
large
studio
type.
So
there's
two
of
the
units
per
module.
AF
This
module
is
only
32
feet,
long
a
little
bit
smaller,
but
it
provides
a
kitchenette
that,
in
that
also
includes
an
oven,
range,
microwave
and
refrigerator
and
there's
a
version.
We
call
the
extra
large
studio.
This
is
a
handicapped
accessible
unit,
so
the
bathroom
is
larger.
For
someone
who
uses
a
wheelchair,
we
have
a
little
bit
larger
beds
in
here
to
accommodate
different
types
of
people
as
well
and
there's
also
a
family
unit
type,
which
is
a
two
bedroom.
AF
So
you
only
get
one
living
unit
within
the
10
foot
by
40
foot
module
that
has
two
separate
bedrooms.
Those
actually
have
beds
that
have
a
pull
out
trundle
underneath,
so
you
could
have
family
there
and
more
people
living
there.
This
also
includes
the
kitchenette
and
the
full
bathroom
and
that
that's
it.
AD
That's
pretty
much
it
mayor,
I
would
just
add
in
terms
of
the
budget
and
adding
the
request
to
add
additional
funds,
as
mentioned
in
the
staff
report,
this
Project's
being
impacted
by
cost
increases
such
as
labor
and
materials.
Like
many
other
projects,
the
revised
project
budget
we
received
from
our
contractor
was
31
million.
We
do
have
approximately
28
million
now
with
all
the
funds
at
the
brown
that
the
county
brought
to
the
table.
The
the
home
key
2
Funds
that
we
received.
F
AD
A
D
AF
In
theory,
you
could
we
would
have
to
revisit
that
through
the
permitting
process,
of
course,
and
ensure
that
we're
meeting
all
codes,
but
they
are
designed
for
a
lot
of
the
life
safety
exiting
that
you
would
need
if
they
were
two
stories
high.
So
in
theory,
that's
something
we
could
you'd
be
able
to
proceed
with
in
the
future.
AF
AF
AF
AG
D
AG
D
D
AD
Think
it
was
a
combination
of
factors.
Just
the
initial
budget
was
very
very
preliminary.
It
was
roughly
a
per
square
foot
per
unit
calculation
that
got
us
through
the
application
process
with
the
home
key.
So
that's
what
we
had
in
our
application
at
the
lower
number,
but
you
know,
as
we
listened
to
the
community-
listen
to
various
other
other
organizations
and
groups
through
the
resident
advisory
working
group.
AD
AD
You
know
it's
it's
really
hard
to
say,
because,
even
if
you
add
additional
items,
those
costs
go
up
too.
We
actually
have
a
few
items
on
the
sidelines
now
that
we'd
still
like
to
see
incorporated
into
the
project,
but
they
total
like
an
additional
1.6
million.
So
some
of
those
factors
I
believe
they
had
to
do
with
some
improvements
to
the
roof.
Skylights
things
like
that
that
you
know
we
may
have
to
hold
off
on
until
a
future
phase
or
or
maybe
it
just
doesn't
get
done
as
part
of
the
project
and.
D
AD
D
AD
Yeah,
that's
you
know.
Unfortunately,
we
had
to
grab
some
of
the
funds
that
were
planned
for
building
C,
so
it
is
kind
of
up
in
the
air,
but
the
benefit
is
it
does
not
have
the
limitations,
at
least
right
now
that
the
home
key
2
Funds
have
so
we
could
plan
for
any
number
of
different
uses
in
Building
C
and
that's
probably
a
future
discussion
with
yourselves
and
the
community.
Okay.
Y
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
thank
you
Jay
and
Greg,
and
everyone
on
the
team
of
Linda
and
Lauren
for
all
of
your
work,
really
incredible
work,
I
love
the
presentation
and
the
staff
report.
This
has
been
a
long
time
coming.
Lauren
I
really
liked
the
photos
you
used
at
Palm
Springs,
showing
the
Saguaro
and
some
of
our
really
cool
elements
of
design.
So
I
love
that
thank
you
so
much
for
that
excellent
work.
I
just
have
a
few
questions,
also
going
on
Building,
C
and
and
some
other
elements.
Y
Y
AD
It's
usable
now
to
be
frank:
it's
a
big
storage
facility
that
you
we
could
put
beds
in.
We
could
use
a
storage.
It
has
office
space,
that's
usable,
so
it
is
usable
now,
but
we
were
thinking
of
doing
more
improvements
to
perhaps
make
it
a
better
living
space
so
that
it's
not
you,
know
cold
and
damp
for
anybody
who
has
to
stay
there.
But
the
the
funds
that
we
had
moved
over
were
from
the
the
Inland
Empire
Health
Plan
funds,
Molina,
which,
which
is
really
great,
that
you
know.
AD
Timing
worked
out
having
those
funds
come
to
the
county
and
be
available
but
planning-wise
for
building
C.
You
know
we
kind
of
ended
with
the
possibility
of
it
being
used
as
additional
shelter
space
and
that's
what
we
were
hoping
the
IEHP
funds
could
have
helped
provide.
Now.
That
being
said,
we
are
actively
planning
and
looking
at
additional
funds,
encampment
resolution
funds
is
an
application
we're
working
on
to
apply,
for.
AD
We
are
working
potentially
with
New
Market
tax
credit
providers
to
get
additional
funds
to
bring
into
the
for
the
whole
facility
different
aspects
of
that,
and
so
you
know
we're
we're.
Keeping
a
close
eye
on
the
funds
being
made
available
by
the
state
and
federal
government
for
uses
like
this
thanks.
Y
So
I
was
going
to
ask:
are
there
state
budget,
ass
or
other
requests
that
we
should
make
for
building
C,
because
I'm
concerned
about
building
C
I've
been
in
it
a
few
times?
I,
don't
think
it's
highly
functional
and
usable
right?
It
needs
work
and
so
I
would
be
concerned
about
the
dangers
of
having
it
there
and
not
fully
functional
or
creating
a
problem,
or
something
like
that
right.
So
I'd
love
to
get
Building
C
moving
forward.
However,
we
can
is
Building.
Y
Y
So
potentially
could
be
used
accessed
by
the
public
or
others
from
the
street
in
the
future.
Yes
right
that
was
our
plan.
Okay
and
then
for.
Could
you
just
detail
the
money
again?
The
number
one
question
we
get
is
where
the
city's
10
million
dollars
went
and
I
think
it's
a
little
bit
unclear
just
because
it
shows
the
city
funds
for
the
capital
as
only
a
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
dollars.
P
AD
Right,
you
know
the
operation
side
of
this
is
going
to
be
very
intensive
security,
Staffing
I
think
the
ratio
was
one
staff
person
for
every
eight
residents,
which
is
a
very
low
ratio
and
I'll
Linda
I'm.
Looking
at
you,
if
that's
not
accurate,
but
so
we
do
need
to
reserve
a
fair
amount
of
the
resources
for
operations,
and
that
is
where
we
are
planning
to
utilize
that
10
million
dollars,
not
the
entire
10
million
dollars
in
you
know.
AD
What
you
may
not
know
is
that
a
good
amount
of
the
10
million
has
already
been
spent
on
Vista
Sunrise
2,
which
will
provide
permanent
Supportive
Housing
units.
So
there's
that
there's
an
allocation
for
the
aloe
Palm
Canyon
project
and
combined-
that's
four
million
of
the
10
million
and
5.3
million
is
being
planned
for
the
operations
at
the
navigation
Center.
The
remaining
700
000,
we're
using
for
administrative
costs
and.
Y
AF
Yes,
so
there'll
be
a
play
structure,
it
will
have
like
a
slide
and
kind
of
a
climbing
area
that
area
immediately
around
that
is
intended
to
be
like
a
fibrous
mulch
material.
So
it's
soft
for
kids
to
play
in
and
there'll
be
trees
and
Landscape
around
for
shading
and
and
there's
enough
space
to
run
around
and
play
and
nearby
they'll
be
kind
of
a
some
like
seating
area,
like
concrete
benches,
for
people
to
sit
on
and
kind
of
enjoy
the
park
like
area
and
yeah.
Y
AF
Yes,
the
existing
site
has
like
a
the
orange
heavy
line.
If
you,
if
you
have
that
drawing
in
front
of
you,
is
existing
CMU
perimeter
wall
around
this,
like
concrete
masonry
unit,
so
it
does
have
a
very
solid,
secure
kind
of
fence
around
the
outside,
and
then
we
are
doing
some
additional
fencing
inside
the
site
to
separate
the
parking
area
from
the
housing
units.
Y
Are
there
any
elements
from
the
resident
Advisory
Group
that
you
didn't
include
or
that
we
should
be
aware
of
to
discuss
tonight
and
thank
you
to
Mayor
Pro
tem
Bernstein
for
asking
the
question
about
which
increased
the
cost
I
think
that's
a
really
important
point
that
I
was
interested
in
as
well.
So
do
you
have
any
notes
about
what
was
requested
and,
if
anything
didn't
get
included
or
what
that
primarily
included.
AD
Y
AD
Sorry
Lauren,
why
don't
I
rattle
off
a
few
of
these
and
and
you
can
respond,
we
have
a
fair
amount
of
rooms
in
the
facility
as
Flex
spaces
and
the
Rog
indicated
it'd
be
great.
If
we
had
some
calming
rooms,
areas
where
individuals
could
go
and
say
de-escalate
any
anxieties
that
they
might
be
going
through.
AD
They
also
mentioned
having
security
booths
for
people
to
check
in
and
out
of
the
facility
at
more
plants,
a
mediation
area
or
quiet
Zone
again
to
have
a
little
more
peace
and
enjoyment
on
the
site
and
I
think
there
were
recommendations
for
staggering
doors
to
give
people
more
privacy,
and
it's
difficult
to
do
with
the
modular
shape
that
we're
working
with,
though
I
think,
we've
accomplished
some
of
that
and
shade
structures.
I,
don't
know
where
we
left
off
with
that.
AF
AF
U
AD
A
U
J,
that's
not
good
enough
and
I
don't
mean
that
personally,
but
we
need
a
timeline
that
is
going
to
work
and
there
is
no
higher
priority
in
the
city
than
getting
this
open
and,
as
I
have
listened
to
the
presentation
this
evening,
I
am
thrilled
with
the
attention
that's
being
given,
but
I
am
very
fearful
that
we
are
planning
this
thing
to
death
and
we
will
not
get
it
open.
There
is
no
higher
priority
in
the
city
than
getting
this
facility
open
and
whatever
resources
are
needed
to
get
it
open.
D
Yeah
I
just
want
to
add
to
that.
If
there
are
things
and
there's
a
lot
of
great
things
in
here
and
actually
I
have
to
say,
the
the
plans
look
better
than
than
I
thought
they
would.
But
if
there
are
things
which
can
be
done
without
delaying
you
know
and
happen
after
it
opens
getting
this
open
as
soon
as
possible
is
is
more
important
than
some
of
these
additions.
I
mean
they
should
happen,
but
I
don't
want
to
delay
it
to
have
it
perfect
and
I.
D
I
also
want
to
just
to
and
I'll
bring
this
up
at
the
end.
But
my
comment
about
having
a
refundable,
a
renewable
source
for
our
housing
from
potentially
the
real
portion
of
vacation
rental
taxes,
especially
since
we
just
approved
the
fees
for
additional
permits,
we're
going
to
start
seeing
a
lot
of
Revenue.
If
we
can
make
sure
that
comes
to
council
sooner
rather
than
later,
we
know
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
money
left
out
of
the
10
million
and
we're
going
to
need
to
have
sources
for
that
going
forward.
Y
Thank
you,
I
just
want
to
clarify
for
the
record
and
for
the
public
and
the
News
who
might
be
listening.
So
we
actually
have
deadlines
about
getting
the
money
deployed
and
getting
this
open
right.
So
it
isn't
correct
to
say
we
don't
know
when
it
will
open.
Can
we
just
get
more
clarification
for
the
public,
who
heard
that
we
didn't
have
a
good
answer,
but
actually
there
are
tight
turnarounds
that
we're
moving
forward
and
we
have
to
meet
to
get
the
dollars
right.
That.
AD
AE
We
hear
from
Greg
yeah
just
a
couple
points
on
this.
Believe
me
there's
nobody
in
the
city
that
wants
US
Open
faster,
but
keep
in
mind.
This
is
not
like
popping
up
the
The
Shelter
Systems,
that's
on
the
I-10
and
banning
this
is
a
permanent
well-built
structure.
There
have
been
severe
supply
chain
delays,
even
just
SCE
who's
been
great
Partners
to
work
with.
AE
So
we
are
at
a
point
now,
though,
that
things
are
moving
much
quicker,
so
you
will
see
I
agree
that
if
there
is
the
possibility
to
at
least
get
the
units
open
sooner
rather
than
later,
without
the
full
wraparound
services
that
will
strive
to
do
the
other
thing
on
the
timeline
stuff,
we
are
not
the
only
project
pushing
the
timelines
back.
I
just
want
to
make
that
clear
to
the
public.
It's
happening
to
project
home
key
operations
throughout
the
state,
and
so
the
state
again
is
being
very
flexible.
They
want
it
built
quickly.
AE
But
again,
this
is
happening
across
the
state.
I
want
to
address
the
operations
questions
because
it's
a
very
good
question,
in
addition
to
ideas
that
you
have
as
council
members
in
some
permanent
Revenue
sources,
Linda
this
operator
in
Mars.
This
is
amazing
at
the
philanthropic
side
that
I
think
we
can
expand
on
within
the
city
and
then
additionally
and
Linda's
very
good
at
this,
as
well
at
Martha's.
Already
with
her
respite
care
program,
there
are
a
lot
of
opportunities
within
Cal
aim,
which
is
the
new
program
under
Medi-Cal
for
billing.
AE
I
was
actually
just
at
a
conference
last
week
with
the
Department
of
Health
Care
Services
director,
and
they
are
looking
to
actually
expand
more
of
their
reimbursables
under,
what's
known
as
community
supports
under
calaim,
and
many
of
those
will
be
around
temporary
housing,
transitional
housing
and
even
permanent
housing.
So
a
lot
of
the
operations
I
drew
believe
will
be
able
to
be
funded
through
Cal
label
as
well.
Y
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that
additional
information.
Thank
you.
Adam
Mayer
I
agree
with
council
member
Middleton.
That
urgency
is
key.
We
want
to
get
something
that
up
as
quickly
as
possible
and
it's
urgent.
So
thank
you
for
your
work.
Building
a
beautiful,
well
thought
out
project
with
that
urgency
in
mind.
Am.
AF
I
able
to
add
a
comment
to
this
I
just
would
like
to
give
an
update
that
so
the
the
project
is,
in
the
plan,
check
approval
process.
Right
now
we
have
been
developing
the
construction
drawings,
so
it
is
moving
through
that
permitting
process
and
the
contractor
the
general
contractor
is
executing
their
contract
with
the
they
they
bid
out
the
award
of
the
fabricator
for
the
modular
units,
so
they're
being
signed
on,
so
things
are
moving
ahead
and
the
with
the
schedule,
the
biggest
kind
of
up
in
the
air
issue.
AF
We're
trying
to
solve
and
expedite
is
with
Southern
California
Edison.
The
electrical
service,
adding
80
units
of
housing
does
require
the
electrical
service
to
the
site
to
be
upgraded
and
their
equipment.
Edison's
equipment
takes
a
long
time
to
get
and
they
have
a
lengthy
service
planning
process.
We
have
to
work
through
with
them
to
get
them
to
sign
off
on
the
engineers
proposed
new
electrical
equipment.
A
You
all
very
much
I
Echo
the
comments
made
by
my
fellow
council
members
that
this
is
that
the
utmost
priority
and
I
and
I
know
that
Jay
and
Greg,
and
everyone
in
the
community
knows
that
as
well.
So
we
really
appreciate
all
of
your
efforts
on
this
and
to
Lauren
and
Linda
as
well.
Thank
you
very
much.
Do
we
have
a
oh
council
member
to
heart?
Go
ahead.
V
Hey
Jay,
you
know
we're
commonly
hearing
the
question
about
how
how
are
we
going
to
ensure
Palm
Springs
on
house
start?
First,
first,
access
is
and
the
worry
and
concern
that
people
are
going
to
come
from
down
Valley
and
fill
our
80
80
units
before
we
have
a
chance
to
accommodate
folks
right
here
in
town.
AD
AE
So
it's
a
great
question
and
it
comes
up
with
all
of
these
type
of
meetings.
The
facts
and
data
actually
show
that
Homeless
individuals
actually
don't
aren't
that
transient
and
that's
been
the
issue
with
Palm
Springs
is
that
we
don't
have
and
when
I
say
transits
I
mean
it's
not
they're
moving
somewhere
for
a
shelter
aspect.
That's
the
issue
we
have
here
in
the
west.
Part
of
the
valley
is,
we
don't
have
a
Sheltering
facility,
and
so
the
individuals
who
are
on
the
street
do
not
want
to
go
down
Valley.
AE
That
would
be
much
the
same
case
and
you
see
that
in
the
data
that's
there
as
well,
we
you
know
due
to
fair
housing
laws,
there's
issues,
even
though
this
is
Transitional
units
but
I.
Think
it's
the
goal
and
I
don't
want
to
put
words
in
Linda's
mouth
but
I
know
it's
my
goal
on
us
as
a
county
and
I
believe
Linda's
as
well,
that
the
whole
purpose
of
putting
this
in
Palm
Springs
is
to
address
the
unhoused
problem
here
in
Palm
Springs
in
the
west
part
of
the
valley.
B
AE
Okay,
thank
you.
I
can't
guarantee
you
that
I
mean
I
can't
guarantee
that
you
will
not
get
an
individual
from
desert
hot
springs
or
Cathedral
City,
but
you
won't
get
an
influx
of
people
say
from
Riverside
the
past
area
anywhere
outside
the
valley
and
I.
Don't
even
anticipate
East
part
from
the
eastern
part
of
the
valley.
AE
Yeah,
and
just
a
couple
other
Notes
too,
is
I,
am
in
conversations
with
other
cities
in
the
valley,
specifically
like
desert
hot
springs
and
Cathedral
City
that
are
looking
at
how
they
address
some
of
the
issues
with
them,
so
whether
that's
an
Access
Center,
probably
potentially,
shelter,
system
or
navigation
Center
down
the
road
as
well.
So.
F
V
Excellent,
the
the
other
thing
Jay.
We
we
heard
earlier
about
the
concern
for
our
our
animal,
our
pets
and
their
well
care
I
I
think
I
would
rather
see
the
conversations
with
that
kind
of
a
partnership
happening
on
the
front
end.
Instead
of
waiting
till
we
get
too
far
down
the
road
where
it's
too
late
to
make
accommodation
so
I,
my
recommendation
would
be
that
that
we
get
with
the
Palm
Springs
Animal
Shelter
soon
and
make
sure
that
we're
doing
the
right
thing.
AD
V
AG
Are
you
looking
at
me?
Yes,
it
will
vary
if
you
really,
when
you
think
about
it.
Excluding
kids.
You've
got
80
people
and
we
call
it
building
eight
and
we
keep
talking
about
it
being
like
Monday
through
Friday,
but
we
do
Flex
our
case
managers
and
employment
people,
but
they're
normally
there
during
normal
operation,
but
also
can
stay
over
or
extended.
AG
We
can
stagger
schedules
so
that
we
can
meet
all
the
needs
of
the
clients,
so
I
would
say:
you'd
probably
have
30
40
a
day,
but
if
we're
really
successful,
then
we've
got
them
employed
and
moving
them
now
through
their
Housing
search.
So
as
you
load
it
up
in
the
beginning
and
as
people
access,
because
you
know,
Martha's
has
a
placement
rate
of
80
percent
of
those
that
they
serve
even
now,
when
we're
hearing
that
there's
no
available
housing,
we
just
kind
of
make
it
happen.
AG
So
that
would
be
my
estimate
at
this
time
that
that's
what
we
would
we
would
see,
because
in
the
beginning
they
work
with
a
case
manager
more
and
as
they're
stabilized
and
tasked
and
moving
forward.
They
will
see
their
case
manager,
possibly
less,
but
then
you
as
they
leave
more
people
come
in
and
then
the
cycle
just
continues.
AD
AG
AD
AE
AE
No
because
it's
not
it's
not
the
type
of
Center
where
you
go
in,
it's
not
like
the
access
center,
where
anybody
can
walk
in
and
get
Services.
It's
specifically
mostly
referral
from
law
enforcement
and
other
Service
Partners
Hospital
discharge
Etc,
but
it's
specifically
for
the
residents
on
campus.
We
did
that
on
purpose
because
of
what
we
had
heard
from
the
residents
that
we
didn't
want.
You
know
want
that
access,
plus
this
model
works
better
than
those
kind
of
dropping
dropouts,
not
that
not
that
the
access
center
doesn't
work
landed.
So
it's
no
slime.
A
A
A
We're
going
to
get
back
into
the
meeting.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
item
3B,
to
adopt
a
resolution
determining
and
recognizing
areas
in
the
city
not
located
in
a
city,
recognized
neighborhood
for
the
purpose
of
Palm
Springs
Municipal
Code
chapter
5.25
on
vacation
rentals
I'd,
just
like
to
note
for
the
record
that
councilmember
holstage
is
recused
from
this
item
due
to
potential
business
interest
and
she
will
return
after
this.
This
item
staff
report,
please
Community.
AH
Good
evening,
thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
mayor,
Pro,
tem,
council
members.
As
Veronica
said,
my
name
is
Patrick
with
the
Department
of
special
program.
Compliance
before
you
this
evening
is
a
staff
report
regarding
recognizing
areas
that
are
not
located
in
a
second
City
recognized
neighborhood
for
purposes
of
the
vacation
rental
chapter
only.
AH
Back
on
November
28
2022
city
council
adopted
ordinance
2075..
What
this
did
was
it
put
and
established
a
vacation
rental
cap
in
organized
neighborhoods
up
to
20
percent.
So
how
does
our
department
administers
this?
Is
we
use
the
boundaries
of
a
city,
official,
recognized,
neighborhood
and
appropriately
administer?
How
many
vacation
rentals
are
in
a
city
recognized
neighborhood
compared
to
that?
AH
AH
Staff
has
identified
three
options
based
off
of
the
ordinance
that
was
adopted
where
it
said
that
Council
can,
by
resolution,
determine
how
City
staff
will
administer
the
vacation
rental
ordinance
in
areas
that
are
not
defined
as
a
neighborhood.
Pursuant
to
the
chapter
option,
one
would
be
to
identify
each
of
those
residential
areas
or
Ras
as
their
own
respective
residential
area,
and
then
we
would
administer
our
vacation
rental
ordinance.
AH
AH
So
option
one
identifying
each
area
has
their
own
respective
residential
area.
It
would
be
simply
what
you
see
here
on
the
chart.
We
would
for
purposes
of
the
vacation.
Rental
chapter
only
look
at
each
area
and
if
an
application
came
in
for
a
vacation
rental
certificate,
we
would
then
reference
the
residential
area
identified
and
see
if
it's.
If
the
vacation
rental
certificate
can
be
issued
based
off
the
percentage
in
that
residential
area.
AH
Option
two
combining
all
the
areas
14
residential
areas
into
one
neighborhood.
We
would
do
the
same
approach
if
an
application
came
into
our
department
instead
of
looking
at
it
and
looking
at
it
as
14
individual
areas.
We
would
then
thus
refer
it
to
as
one
area
which,
as
of
today,
if
if
an
application
came
in
that
percentage
cap
is
that
was
of
January
26
1.46
percent,
which
is
a
lot
way
under
our
20
threshold,
which
then
we
would
administer
a
vacation
rental
permit
in
that
sense
option
three.
AH
If
we
do
Annex
one
of
the
ra
areas
into
a
neighboring,
neighborhood
staff
would
have
to
determine
what
direction
from
Council.
You
know
which
neighborhoods
an
RA
would
go
into.
You
know.
Potential
impacts
that
we
can
see
would
be
increasing
vacation
rentals
in
an
organized
neighborhood
that
might
be
close
to
that
percentage
thresholds
currently,
for
example,
Lawrence
Crossley
and
ra
11.
AH
AH
A
Thank
you,
Patrick
I,
just
I
want
to
just
quickly
start
with
one
question
in
terms
of
option
three:
can
you
make
sure
that
we're
that
I'm
clear
on
this,
we
would
only
be
annexing
those
sections
into
near
nearby
neighborhoods
for
purposes
of
this
vacation
rental
ordinance
not
to
require
them
to
be
a
part
of
the
neighborhood
group.
Is
that
correct?
That's.
A
D
J
AH
Trying
to
think
I
believe
we
also
provided
that's
also
in
the
staff
report,
a
map
of
the
areas
that
are
highlighted
in
Gray
in
the
map
that
was
provided.
It
doesn't
show
they're
kind
of
outlined
in
red
as
well,
so
we
can
have
a
similar
effect,
for
example
with
ra
6
and
Twin
Palms.
It
might
be
a
similar
impact
with
that,
depending
on,
if
ra6
has
any
vacation
rentals,
but
we
also
will
then
include
residential
housings
and
Twin
Palms,
so
we
can
kind
of
see
maybe
a
similar
effect
in
Twin
Palms.
AH
No
great
questions
so
definitively
I,
don't
know
which
areas
would
say
yes
or
no.
But
if
we
look
back
on
the
table,
that's
providing
the
staff
report
to
the
areas
that
don't
have
any
vacation.
Rentals
currently
I
mean
it'd,
probably
be
a
safe
bet
that
they
don't
allow
vacation
rentals
right
now,
because
there
would
be
some
at
least
one
or
two,
at
least
in
that
area,
if
they
did
permit
vacation
rentals.
So
it's
a
good.
D
AH
You
know
if
we,
if
we
take
option
one
compared
to
option
two,
it's
not
going
to
be
an
administratively
cost
difference
at
all.
Really
it's
just
a
reference
check
for
our
departments
is
once
we
get
an
application
in
see
if
it's
in
an
area
that
allows
it
or
if
it's
over
the
percentage
cap
to
process
the
application
going
further.
So
whether
that's
one
group
as
one
neighborhood
or
14,
it's
not
going
to
make
a
difference
as
far
as
staff
processing,
okay,.
B
D
U
The
mayor,
Pro
Tim,
it
does
a
really
good
job
of
asking
all
my
questions,
so
we
don't
have
well.
Let
me
start
here
the
last
time
that
we
met
on
this
subject.
One
of
the
directions
that
was
given
to
staff
and
it's
going
to
an
extremely
difficult
one
I
know-
is
to
take
and
go
through
and
look
at
all
of
the
residential
units
in
every
neighborhood
and
all
of
those
that
are
not
in
a
defined
neighborhood
and
actually
map
out
what
home.
U
What
residences
are
eligible
to
be
vacation
rentals
because
they
are
not
in
an
HOA
that
does
not
prove
or
that
does
not
allow
vacation,
rentals
or
they're,
not
in
an
apartment
where
the
city
has
taken
and
done
that.
How
far
along?
Are
you
with
that
process
of
assessing
all
of
the
neighborhoods
yeah.
AH
Thank
you.
We
do
have
preliminary
numbers
back
from
our
GIS
team
that
has
broken
down
by
neighborhood
how
many
single-family
homes
found
in
many
Condominiums,
how
many
apartments
and
I
believe
also
mobile
homes
too.
So
that
would
allow
us
staff
to
compare
areas
where,
if
it's
a
single
family
compared
to
single
family,
what
that
will
do
to
the
percentage
caps?
If
we
choose
to
go
that
route
relating
to
the
condos,
it
doesn't
Define
go
into
detail
that
which
air,
which
condos
allow
vacation
rentals
compared
to
which
condoms
do.
AH
U
U
Only
51
of
those
are
not
in
a
neighborhood
I
think
it
would
be
a
mistake
to
move
to
option
three
that
would
profoundly
impact
many
neighborhoods
in
terms
of
what
their
percentage
numbers
are
going
to
be.
While
we
are
in
the
process
of
assessing,
what's
the
accuracy
for
each
one
of
those
neighborhoods
of
how
many
homes
in
that
neighborhood
are
eligible.
Once
we
have
all
of
that
data,
we
would
be
in
a
much
better
position
to
assess
whether
or
not
something
like
option
three
is
viable.
U
If
staff
was
to
argue
that
either
option
one
or
two
administratively
was
easier
to
administer
than
I
would
feel
very
comfortable
in
going
in
with
either
one
or
two.
If
what
I'm
hearing
is,
they
are
from
an
administrative
standpoint,
relatively
even
I
I'm
tending
to
defer
to
my
colleagues
between
those
two
options,
but
I
would
be
very
strongly
opposed
to
option
three.
V
So
I
think
with
that
being
said,
I
think
it
would
be
better
to
go
with
with
number
one
to
identify
them
individually,
but
I
I
could
see
us
going
with
either
one
or
two
and
I
appreciate
one
PS
their
their
time
and
their
work
to
look
into
this,
but
I
I
think
I
would
rather
see
the
20
spread
out
in
14
neighborhoods
than
Mass
together
in
four
or
five
neighborhoods.
So
that
would
lend
me
to
number
one
I
think.
A
AH
A
So
then,
we
wouldn't
have
have
an
over
concentration
in
just
several
of
those
districts
be
in
those
Ras,
because
we,
as
we
see,
there's
zeros
in
many
of
them,
and
we
do
know
that
those
many
of
those
are
condo
complexes
which
probably
don't
allow
them,
but
that
would
still
count
towards
the
the
percentage
right.
So
we
would.
A
Wouldn't,
or
would
we
sorry
I'm
getting
it
I'm
mixing
it
up
if
we,
if
we
have
the
RAS
separated
out
one
by
one,
then
are
we
going
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
where
we're
going
to
have
the
largest
number
of
increase
in
vacation
rentals
if
we
separate
them
out
one
by
one
or
if
we
have
them
combined
into
one,
and
that
really
depends
do
you
have
an
answer?
Thank
you.
That's
what
I
want
to.
D
D
D
AH
A
A
V
A
I
am
curious.
What
that
number
is
and
I
know,
that's
what
you're
you're.
What
councilmember
Middleton
was
asking
about
was
what
are?
What
are
those
demographics
for
the
the
city?
What
does
it
look
like,
but
I
think
that,
when
we're
hearing
complaints
about
vacation
rentals,
we
are
hearing
about
them
in
certain
neighborhoods
and
it's
and
other
neighborhoods
were
not
hearing
it
and
I
think
it
has
a
lot
to
do
with
the
characters
of
each
of
those
neighborhoods
and
whether
or
not
they're,
single
family
or
or
not
I.
A
V
A
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
making
me
less
confused.
The
last
item
on
the
agenda
is
item
3C,
a
discussion
of
proposed
amendments
to
the
operations
Covenant
transient,
occupancy
tax
share
and
site
plan
revisions
for
the
Orchid
Tree
Hotel
development
located
at
222
South,
kawea
Road.
Let's
just
give
council
member
hulsa
a
second
to
get
back
in
and
then
we
will
proceed.
A
E
E
They
did
not
meet
some
of
those
milestones
and
the
owner
has
invoked
a
Force
Major
provision
in
the
agreement
and,
as
part
of
that
has
submitted
a
market
report
relative
to
being
able
to
finance
the
project.
So
the
proposed
modifications
that
the
owner
is
presenting
to
you
is
offered
as
a
resolution
to
keep
the
project
moving
forward.
One
of
the
things
I
do
want
to
point
out,
though,
is
that
this
is
a
discussion
this
evening.
This
would
not
be
final
action.
E
There
are
other
steps
that
we
would
need
to
go
through
and
so
again
we're
trying
to
get
your
input
on
the
request
that
the
owner
is
making
relative
to
their
operations.
Covenant
with
that,
let
me
go
through
some
of
the
points
that
the
owner
is
requesting,
starting
first
with
the
performance
schedule.
E
The
next
thing
that
they
are
requesting
is
to
make
revisions
to
the
approved
site
plan
in
doing
a
analysis
and
getting
a
bid
for
construction
of
the
project
as
it
is
currently
approved.
It
would
be
approximately
67
million,
which
poses
some
difficulty
in
financing
the
project,
and
so
the
owner
has
investigated
modifications
to
the
site
plan
that
would
assist
in
reducing
the
overall
cost
of
the
project,
while
still
retaining
the
amenities
and
the
overall
level
of
quality.
E
The
revised
concept
plan
would
keep
the
number
of
units
the
same.
The
parking
the
same.
The
amenities
that
are
offered
to
the
guest
would
be
the
same,
but
again
by
being
a
little
bit
more
strategic
in
terms
of
how
this
is
developed,
it
would
result
in
significant
cost
savings.
One
of
the
questions
that
we've
had
in
discussion
with
the
owner
and
also
questions
that
we've
had
from
Council
is,
would
albarish
resorts
still
participate
even
with
this
revised
site
plan.
E
What
you'll
see
is
here
in
the
center,
there
are
a
number
of
new
hotel
buildings
that
are
proposed,
a
central
pool
area
as
well
as
another
hotel
building
here
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen,
and
then
the
there
are
multi-family
buildings
here
on
this
end
of
the
project
that
under
the
approved
plan,
would
have
been
demolished
and
new
hotel
units
built
there
in
comparison.
Looking
at
the
proposed
plan,
what
it
would
do
is
still
retain
the
church
structure
here,
The
Bungalow
Court.
E
E
That's
a
summary
of
the
changes
to
the
site
plan
that
would
reduce
a
lot
of
the
site
work
and
would
simplify
the
construction
plan
and
reduce
costs.
I
just
need
to
note
that
staff
has
not
reviewed
this
for
conformance
to
development
standards.
We
would
need
to
do
that
at
a
later
point
in
time,
looking
at
more
detailed
plans
in
order
to
do
that
with
the
changes
to
the
site
plan.
However,
it
would
require
going
back
before
the
Historic
Site
preservation
board,
the
Planning
Commission
and
the
Architectural
Review
Committee,
as
I
had
mentioned
earlier.
E
If
we
were
to
proceed
with
changes
to
the
transient
occupancy
tax
allocation,
we
would
also
need
to
do
a
development
agreement
which
would
need
to
go
before
the
Planning
Commission
and
then
be
approved
by
the
city
council.
One
of
the
things
the
owner
has
suggested
in
order
to
streamline
this
process
so
that
they
could
begin
construction
as
quickly
as
possible
is
that
we
hold
joint
meetings
of
these
groups
in
order
to
facilitate
the
approval
of
those
changes
to
the
site
plan.
E
E
I,
don't
have
a
number
of
what
those
are,
and
perhaps
the
owner
could
answer
that
question
for
us
and
then
another
thing
that
they
are
requesting
is
approval
of
condominium
Hotel
units
that
is
permissible
as
part
of
a
hotel
project.
It
does
require
a
conditional
use
permit
and
then
there
are
requirements
in
our
zoning
code
in
terms
of
it
operating
just
like
a
hotel
would,
and
so
that's
something
that
would
be
permissible
under
the
zoning
code,
but
does
require
a
conditional
use
permit.
E
In
summary,
the
requests
are
as
follows:
number
one
is
a
modification
to
the
performance
schedule
with
the
developer,
offering
the
payment
of
a
1
million
security
fee
for
not
proceeding
with
construction
by
the
specified
date.
They
are
requesting
a
modification
to
their
tot
allocation
for
a
period
of
10
years,
requesting
revisions
to
the
site,
plan,
deferral
of
permit
and
entitlement
fees,
assistance
with
undergrounding
of
utilities
and
then
deal
points
would
be
memorialized
through
a
development
agreement.
E
So
that
concludes
my
presentation
to
you
in
terms
of
what
the
developer
is
asking
staff
is
looking
for
your
input
on
these
deal
points.
The
developer
is
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
relative
to
those
deal
points.
We
also
have
Mr
verrada
in
attendance
to
respond
to
any
questions
about
the
tot
allocation,
as
well
as
our
City
attorney
Jeffrey
Ballinger,
to
discuss
procedures
third
process
with
you.
So
with
that
I'll
turn
it
back
to
you,
madam
mayor,
and
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank.
A
D
E
D
E
D
E
D
F
D
E
Yes,
and
no,
as
we've
discussed
with
other
projects
in
times
it
has
been
effective
for
certain
projects,
others
it
has
not.
We
can
name
another
project
on
the
north
end
of
town
who
has
not
met
their
Milestones
either,
and
so
we
are
in
discussions
with
them.
We
also
have
another
hotel
project
which
has
not
met
its
milestones,
and
so
there
are
cases
where
it
has
been
effective,
but
there
are
also
cases
where
it
hasn't.
E
There
are
ways
one
of
the
things
that
the
owner
is
offering
is
security
for
not
meeting
the
construction
deadline
that
they
are
proposing.
That's
certainly
one
of
the
ways,
and
the
other
thing
that
we
can
do
is
be
a
little
bit
more
proactive
on
the
part
of
the
city
in
terms
of
following
up
with
the
developer,
when
they
don't
eat,
Milestones,
revoking
entitlements.
Things
like
that
that
may
be
possible
for
us
to
do.
Okay,.
D
E
You're
right
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
our
boards
and
commissions
have
adequate
time
to
evaluate
the
project
and
to
recommend
improvements
or
modifications,
as
may
be
necessary
per
our
code
requirements.
One
of
the
things
we
can
do
and
I
might
ask
attorney
Ballinger
to
step
in
here-
is
that
in
looking
at
the
project
Milestones,
what
we
might
do
is
establish
them
based
on
X
number
of
days
following
approval
of
the
entitlements
or
something
to
that
effect.
U
U
U
E
U
Okay,
it's
my
understanding
and
please
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
that
when
it
comes
to
deferral
of
payments
of
fees,
we
have
one
other
example
of
that,
and
that
was
the
Serena
Park
project
that
unfortunately
I
don't
know.
If
this
is
a
comparison
or
not
that's
a
project
that
Stan
stalled
and
does
not
appear
to
be
moving
forward.
U
We
have
and
I
was
reminded
earlier
today.
This
proposal
started
in
2014.
about
the
time
that
Flynn
came
to
work
for
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
and
about
the
time
that
I
was
appointed
to
the
Planning
Commission.
So
nine
years
later,
we're
still
here
we're
still
trying
to
make
this
project
work.
I,
don't
know
what
more
good
faith
we
as
a
council
or
as
a
city,
can
exhibit
within
nine
years
of
trying
to
make
this
work.
U
I'm
very
gratified
by
the
work
that
Mr
Weintraub
and
his
team
has
taken
with
the
neighborhood
in
the
last
many
months.
That
is
that
this
many
folks
from
the
historic
Tennis
Club
came
out
is
a
testament
to
the
effectiveness
of
that
Outreach
and
I.
Thank
each
member
of
the
community
that
came
forward.
I
want
to
see
this
hotel
get
built
to,
but
I
do
have
concerns
if
we
provide
an
agreement
to
someone
that
is
that
breaks
the
Precedence
of
agreements
that
we
have
reached
with
every
other
Hotel
entity.
That's
come
forward
to
us.
V
E
S
S
What
I
tried
to
do
was
create
a
program
based
on
the
fact
that
we've
even
heard
it
tonight
with
the
affordable
housing
project
with
the
Plaza
theater,
with
the
College
of
the
Desert
that
we
and
mayor
Pro
tem
Bernstein's
comments
about
the
inflation
increases
over
the
last
several
years:
supply
chain
interest
rates,
doubling
that
were
in
really
unprecedented,
unprecedented
times
from
a
state
that
was
90
billion
Surplus
to
a
state,
that's
massively
in
deficit.
One
year
later,
so
I
came
up
with
a
project
of
redesigning
of
maintaining
the
top
brand
in
the
entire
Coachella
Valley.
S
There's
nothing,
there's
not
a
single
five-star
brand
in
the
Coachella
Valley
and
then,
and
that
includes
the
Ritz
Carlton
and
Rancho
Mirage.
That's
not
a
real
five-star
hotel.
There
are
some
luxury
small
hotels
in
the
valley,
but
nothing
like
Auberge,
and
these
plans
and
I
think
there's
a
question
asked:
did
we
submit
our
plans?
We
submitted
our
plans,
I
would
say
they're
complete.
In
fact,
we
got
a
lot
of
feedback
from
the
city
that
they
were
extraordinary.
They
cost
millions
of
dollars
that
I
paid
for
myself
out
of
my
pocket.
S
So
this
is
still
a
project
of
passion
and
something
I
am
very
committed
towards
I
think
we
did
everything
right,
but
we
couldn't
predict
the
massive
change
in
everything
doubling
and
interest
rates.
Doubling
so
I
came
up
with
a
redesign
along
with
Auberge
and
with
my
architecture
and
design
team
for
something
that
we
can
afford
that
we
believe
can
get
built
in
the
time
frames
that
we've
proposed
and
to
get
the
lenders
comfortable
and
Etc.
We
came
up
with
an
idea
of
not
asking
the
city
for
another
additional
dollar,
but
it's
a
time.
S
It's
a
timing
issue
because
to
build
the
highest
brand
highest
cost
per
key.
That's
ever
been
built
at
the
Coachella
Valley
and
I
apologize
for
the
amount
of
time
it's
taken,
but
sometimes
things
are
worth
the
wait
and
I
think.
This
is
definitely
that
we
came
up
with
a
package
that
I
thought
was
Equitable
and
I
said
well.
S
How
do
I
put
my
money
where
my
mouth
is
say
that
this
is
it
if
we
don't
get
started
on
the
church
and
the
Bungalows,
which
are
the
class
one
historic
structures
and
I'm
very
familiar
with
historic
renovation,
and
we
have
already
cleared
it
with
our
environmental
consultant
that
having
the
roof
open
on
the
church
is
something
that
would
be.
That
should
be
by
the
Secretary
of
interior
standards.
Something
that's
very
acceptable,
but
we
will
have
to
wait
and
see
so.
S
We
were
able
to
do
something
extremely
difficult,
which
was
to
get
a
entire
Association,
the
saint
Barista
and
everyone
not
only
to
support
it,
which
is
unusual
for
them,
but
to
actually
write
letters
and
come
to
a
meeting,
and
all
of
you
know
how
difficult
that
is,
for
people
to
support
things.
It's
very
easy
to
get
people
to
come
out
against
things
so
in
reality,
I'm
not
really
asking
the
council
for
any
money,
I'm
asking
for
a
timing
issue.
S
As
far
as
the
Precedence
goes,
I,
don't
think
there
are
any
other
projects
right
now
that
exist
that
have
not
been
built
that
are
subject
to
receiving
the
tot
rebate.
I,
don't
think
any
of
them
involve
four
and
a
half
acre
assemblage
in
an
area
like
this
that
we're
dealing
with
the
rebuilding
of
significant
class,
one
historical
structures.
S
What
happened
last
time
when
we
submit
our
plans-
and
there
were
delays
acknowledged
by
the
planning
department,
Etc
was
because
of
lack
of
Staffing
and
just
took
longer
to
turn
things
around.
That's
fine
things
happen.
It's
just
we're
all
human
I
understand
councilmember
Middleton's
concerned
that
that
not
be
used
as
an
excuse
and
I.
Think
attorney
about
Ballinger
came
up
with
the
idea
of
making
sure
that
that
doesn't
happen
by
using
the
start
date
from
when
things
are
approved
to
measure
when
we
actually
have
to
get
started.
S
But
if
it's
because
you
feel
it's
precedent,
setting
for
a
Tut
program
that
no
longer
exists,
I,
don't
think
that's
a
reason
to
to
turn
this
down.
If
it's
because
the
fees
are
deferred
because
some
other
project
I'm
not
even
for
familiar
with,
hasn't,
moved
along
or
got
stalled,
I
can't
speak
to
that.
But
I
can't
speak
to
my
successful
projects
that
were
built
during
covid
that
are
open
and
doing
extremely
well.
Sportsman's
Lodge
in
Studio,
City,
Cambria
Hotel
in
Calabasas
and
a
whole
slew
of
other
things.
S
I
and
what
I'm
trying
to
say
is
that
the
devils
and
the
details-
and
there
are
some
tweaks
but
I'm-
trying
to
operate
from
a
logic
point
of
view.
So,
yes,
this
is
what
we
need.
This
is
what
I
feel
we
need.
This
is
what
my
lender
feels.
They
need
to
get
comfortable
to
move
forward
for
me
to
spend
now
the
additional
seven
figures
on
the
plans
in
good
faith
that
this
is
going
to
you
know,
get
approved
yeah.
V
V
I
think
the
neighborhood
is
clear
that
they
want
to
see
this
project
happen.
I
certainly
want
to
see
the
project
happen,
but
that's
not
the
question
for
us
tonight.
The
question
for
us
tonight
is
how
we're
going
to
give
guidance
to
staff
on,
on
the
one
two
three
four
five
bullet
points
that
were
presented
so
I
think
I'm
I'm
prepared
to
share
some
instruction
to
staff.
Y

Another
type
of
security
is
a
surety
bond.
A
third
kind
is
a
an
irrevocable
standby
letter
of
credit,
and
that
is
a
a
an
instrument
that's
held
in
the
name
of
a
bank,
and
the
bank
is
basically
holding
that
those
dollars
on
behalf
of
the
protected
party,
in
this
case
the
city
and
if
there's
a
default
in
terms
of
the
timeline,
the
city
can
call
on
the
bank
to
turn
over
the
dollars
without
having
to
go
to
court
or
fight
with
a
surety.
G
Y
Y
S
S
G
S
A
A
Y
To
follow
up
I
know
you
can't
answer.
I
also,
probably
wouldn't
hold
the
money
in
a
government
agency
and
expect
them
to
determine
to
default,
but
I
think
staff
clarified
three
different
ways
it
could
be
held
and
what
we
hear
from
actually,
when
I
campaigned
in
2017,
our
residents
were
asking
us
for
more
security
from
developers
so
that
these
projects
don't
sit
there
stalled.
So
that's
just
the
question
is:
are
you
willing
to
consider
and
work
with
our
staff
a
way
to
hold
that
security
that
might
work
for
both
parties?
I.

D
S
Well,
the
Sportsman's
Lodge
project
was
started
in
two
purchase.
The
land
was
purchase
in
2007..
We
opened
last
year,
100
leased
leases
at
200
to
300
percent
of
what
other
people
are
paying
in
the
area.
Equinox,
arawan,
sugar,
fish,
very
Freight,
Siegel
very
successful
because
we
created
a
critical
mass
Calabasas
property
was
purchased
20
years
ago.
It
opened
up
December
of
last
year.
Sometimes
things
just
take.
D
S
Very
much
so,
and
today
we
met
again
with
Ken
Lyon.
We
meet
monthly
with
the
neighbors.
This
morning's
meeting,
the
question
of
the
head
of
the
neighborhood
said
there
was
absolutely
no
complaints
and
they
were
very
happy
and
had
no
security
concerns.
The
same
thing
was
said
in
the
prior
month
and
a
similar
thing
was
said
in
the
prior
month
before
that.
D
F
A
D
I
you
know,
I
am
I,
would
very
much
like
to
see
in
Auberge,
hotel
and
I
would
very
much
like
to
see
I
know
the
residents
want
to
see
it
I
think
it
would
be
nice.
I
I
wanted
to
see
it
several
years
ago
when
it
was
first
whenever
it
was
first
brought
up,
but
I
think
this
has
gone
on
a
very
long
time
and
I
think
to
come
back
and
ask
for
more
concessions
from
the
city
that
may
not.
D
You
know
that
maybe
it's
just
delays
and
payments
is,
is
difficult
to
do.
Considering
these
delays,
I
I
think
we've
already
missed
certain
Milestones,
so
it's
basic
as
I
understand
it
from
the
staff
that
there's
a
Milestones
that
have
been
missed,
which
I'd
be
willing
to
say.
Okay,
if
we
still
have
a
March,
20,
20,
2024
groundbreaking,
but
I
think
that
would
mean
you'd
have
to
move
basically
100
miles
an
hour
now
without
additional
concessions
from
the
city.
D
S
D
B
Y
Thank
you
thank
you
to
staff
and
for
everyone's
work
on
this
I
share
the
concerns
that
some
of
my
colleagues
have
raised.
You
know
I
think
we
want
the
same
thing.
I
very
much
want
to
see
and
Au
Bears
really
want.
You
I
believe
that
this
is
your
dream
project
and
that
you're
committed
to
it
and
I
want
to
see
that
successful.
I
agree
that
the
devils
and
the
details
with
what
you're
requesting
from
Council
so
I
very
much
would
like
staff
to
negotiate
what
a
security
amount
would
look
like.
Y
I
share
the
concerns
of
council
member
de
hard
and
others
it's
hard
to
get
a
full
package
deal.
Take
it
or
leave
it
is.
You
know,
I
would
like
more
information
about,
what's
actually
needed
by
you
and
some
I
read
all
of
the
attached
documentation,
but
exactly
what
you
need
to
get
this
project
done.
The
city
has
given
a
number
of
concessions
and
Milestones
and
extensions
and
I
understand
these
projects
are
complicated.
You
know
it's.
Y
But
I
would
like
to
see
a
staff
go
back
and
negotiate
a
real
security,
because
we
know
it's
too
difficult
to
pursue
an
individual
for
a
million
dollar
agreement
and
then
really
get
to
the
bottom
of
exactly
what's
needed
here
and
here
from
Council
of
what
we're
willing
to
do
and
what
we're
not.
That
would
be
helpful,
I
think
and
just
give
direction
to
staff
to
to
have
those
further
discussions.
Unless
that's
not
where
council
is
today,
I'm.
D
Happy
for
staff
I,
just
don't
I,
don't
like
the
All
or
nothing
and
I
do
want
to
see
this.
You
know
I
do
want
to
see
this
belt
and
I
want
I
realize
it
is
hard
for
developer
and
we
want
to
be
a
town
that
welcomes
development
and
encourages
it
and
I
know
we
need
hotel
rooms,
so
I
I
don't
want
to
be
seen
as
not
encouraging
it
I.
A
A
This
city
has
made
many
concessions
already
for
this
project
and
we're
asking
for
the
applicant
to
show
good
faith
and
we're
asking
you
to
do
what
you
said.
You
were
going
to
do
we're
happy
to
look
at
revised
plans.
That's
fine
for
me
would
love
to
have
an
overage,
but
would
also
really
appreciate
having
some
respect
of
this
Council
as
well
councilmember
Middleton.
Did
you
also
have
some
comments.
U
I
was
going
to
try
to
look
at
the
five
bullet
points
and
as
presented
to
us
and
I'm
listening
intently
to
my
colleagues,
they're.
Clearly
not
three
votes
to
accept
these
five
bullet
points
as
presented
I,
don't
think,
there's
one
including
myself
when
it
comes
to
the
security
deposit,
I've
heard
conversation
that
could
possibly
get
us
to
an
agreement
on
that
and
I
don't
want
to
try
to
Define
what
that
agreement
is
I'd
like
to
see
staff
sit
down
with
the
developer,
I.
U
The
deferral
of
payment
is
something
we
have
precedent
on
one
other
occasion
for
and
personally
I'm
open
to
a
conversation
on
that,
but
I
think
this.
The
city
would
need
to
be
made
whole
in
some
fashion
at
some
time
in
order
to
Garner
support
on
that
area.
Other
minor
amendments
to
the
construction
project
I
think
most
of
council
is
ready
to
defer
to
staff's
evaluation
when
it
comes
to
those
areas,
so
I
I,
hope
I've,
accurately
captured
where
council
is
and
I
I
would
make
clear
to
everyone.
U
A
Thank
you
so
much.
We
will
now
move
to
public
comment.
This
time
has
been
set
aside
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
the
city
council
on
items
of
general
interest
within
the
subject
matter:
jurisdiction
of
the
city.
Although
the
city
council
values
your
comments
pursuant
to
the
brown
act,
we
cannot
take
action
on
items
that
are
not
listed
on
the
agenda.
Two
minutes
will
be
assigned
to
each
speaker,
Madam
clerk.
Do
we
have
any
public
comment
tonight?
Yes,.

It's
ironic
because
I've
been
coming
to
Council
meetings
since
about
2014
and
honestly
I
think
I've
heard
more
time
spent
on
the
Auberge
project
from
various
councils.
So
it's
not
just
about
one
Council
that
I
have
heard
about.
How
are
we
as
a
city
going
to
stimulate
the
building
of
large-scale
rental
housing
that
will
service
our
low
and
middle
income
and
upper
middle
income
residents?
AI
Whatever
it
takes
to
figure
out,
is
it
the
tax
incentives?
Is
it
the?
Is
it
the
zoning
laws?
Is
it
the
financing?
Is
it
the
you
know
the
process
of
getting
plans
approved?
What
is
it
that
is
holding
back
developers
from
coming
here
and
developing
large
numbers
of
rental
units?
It's
my
understanding
that
a
large-scale
rental
unit
building
has
not
been
built
here
in
over
20
years.

Temporary

For
our
city
recruitments,
our

department
has
been
working
on
a
multi-faceted
promotional
campaign
involving
social
media,
radio,
job
boards
and
a
career
fair
to
fill
our
current
vacancies.
J
The
recruitment
has
gone
live
today
on
the
city's
website,
so
applicants
can
begin
applying
now
for
the
city
recruitments,
the
permanent
positions
and
screenings
are
scheduled
for
March
7th,
with
a
swim
test
and
interview
for
these
positions
and
lastly,
our
Parks
and
Recreation
Department
has
been
analyzing.
The
overall
staffing
needs
at
the
Swim
Center,
so
we
can
better
support
our
community
needs
and
operations,
and
we
plan
to
bring
back
a
request
for
council
at
the
first
meeting
in
March
to
look
at
additional
positions
for
the
facility.
J
So
thank
you
and
I
think
now
we
have
on
our
screen
the
tentative
upcoming
meeting
schedule.
So
our
next
meeting
is
scheduled
for
Tuesday
February
21st
and
we
have
a
a
full
agenda.
We
have
three
public
hearings
with
the
historic
designation
of
the
Via
Roma,
the
downtown
Block
B
entitlement
extension
and
the
hotel
incentive
program
Covenant
for
Descanso
Resort.
We
have
a
discussion,
business
legislative
items.
We
have
five
of
them
with
the
library
design,
RFQ
we'll
be
bringing
forward
the
rescission
of
the
local
emergency
order.
J
Moving
to
the
first
meeting
in
March,
we'll
have
two
right
now.
What
we
have
slated
is
two
public
hearings
and
three
additional
business
and
legislative
items
that
may
grow
as
as
we
move
forward.
But
this
is
what
we
have
moving
forward:
our
Rios
project,
Zone
Amendment,
a
tephra
hearing
for
Sunnyview
Apartments,
the
sidewalk
vending
ordinance,
an
environmentally
preferable
purchasing
policy,
and
then
our
audit
reports
moving
into
the
second
meeting
of
March
we're
looking
at
the
Dream
Hotel
development
agreement,
Amendment.
Y
You
I'm
just
wondering
if
either
to
this
we
can
add,
it
looks
like
it
was
taken
off,
but
we
did
have
the
bullet
pointed
list
of
what
council
had
also
requested.
So
we
know
it
was
just
hanging
out
there.
So
I
would
love
to
see
that
on
this,
so
that
I
can
know
if
I
need
to
request
something
again
or
what
the
council
has
given
authority
of.
What's
coming
up.
That
would
also
help
us
temper
our
requests.
Y
So
that
would
be
helpful
for
me
and
then
I
just
have
a
request.
If
I
can
I,
don't
think
it
has
to
be
a
separate
agenda
item,
although
it
could,
but
in
the
issue
of
Staffing
The
Swim
Center,
it
came
to
our
attention
and
we
saved
a
lot
of
public
comment
about
the
wage
rate
being
16
an
hour
and
though
that
might
be
the
going
rate
or
Market
a
lot
of
concerns
about
the
living
wage
of
16.
Y
An
hour
and
I
got
a
number
of
public
comments
about
how
many
City
positions
are
paying
less
than
twenty
dollars
an
hour
or
twenty
five
dollars
an
hour
which
is
more
like
the
starting
wage.
For
a
lot
of
jobs,
even
in
fast
food
and
other
places,
so
I'd
love
to
know,
I
know
the
council.
Past
councils
have
discussed
in
depth
how
much
some
of
our
vendors
are
making.
Sometimes
we
I
know
we
had
talked
about
the
airport,
for
example
like
the
parking
attendance
and
how
much
those
contractors
are
actually
paying
their
workers
so
I
love.
Y
Maybe
it
might
make
sense
in
the
budget
process
to
consider
how
many
of
those
positions
are
in
the
city
are
making
less
than
twenty
dollars
an
hour
or
some
amount
that
the
city
council
is
interested
in.
That
would
maybe
help
us
get
money
into
our
resident's
pocket
and
get
those
good
paying
jobs
to
folks.
So
if
there's
Council
interest
in
that
or
we
could
bring
a
separate
discussion
about
the
living
wage
ordinance
or
something
like
that
for
the
city
workers,
if
there's
interest
in
that,
thank.
A
Y
D
Yeah
so
I
just
I
guess
according
to
this,
and
also
my
agenda,
request
I'm
going
to
ask
again
if,
on
the
mid-year
budget,
update
on
February
21st,
we
can
include
a
discussion
of
allocating
a
percentage
of
vacation
rental
tax
to
a
housing
fund,
because
if
we
could
do
that
sooner
rather
than
later,
we
could
get
in
the
high
amount
that
we'll
have
in
the
next
few
months,
which
it
looks
like
we're,
probably
going
to
need
to
have
sooner
rather
than
later.
So.

You
know
we
got
a
letter
from
a
volunteer
in
the
community
that
is
in
part
of
the
letter.
It
was.
They
pointed
out
the
great
work
one
of
our
employees
was
doing,
and
I
just
want
to
recognize,
pat
on
the
back
to
Janice
Lopez,
who,
according
to
the
this
other
volunteer
who
was
there
Rick
Ming
mignnault
mcnult.
V
That
Janice
was
in
the
pool
for
more
than
six
hours
from
6
a.m,
starting
at
6
a.m.
Vacuuming
up
leaves
to
get
the
pool
ready
for
a
hundred
and
75
swimmers
that
were
going
to
arrive
from
37
clubs
around
the
U.S
for
a
nationally
sanctioned
swim
meet
so
hats
off
to
to
Janice
for
the
work
that
she
is
doing
on
behalf
of
the
city
and
trying
to
make
trying
to
make
things
work
for
those
who
are
using.
The
pool
and
I
also
went
to

Okay,
thank
you,
hello.
My
name
is
Dorian
Whitney
I
understand
that
the
navigation
Center
is
coming,
but
it
is
a
shame
how
you
guys
have
been
treating
homeless
people
lately.
You
guys
have
used
the
police
when
progressives
continue
to
say
that
it's
not
the
answer.
You
guys
have
continued
to
push
them
away
to
other
areas
and
are
doing
encampment
sweeps
to
the
same
people
who
are
ineligible
for
services
and
some
just
because
they
have
a
dog.
AJ
AJ
Many
of
our
snobby
residents
and
business
owners
seem
to
think
so
because
it
burns
their
eyes
or
something,
and
you
just
keep
doing
what
they
ask
if
they
are
in
a
public
sidewalk,
they
should
ignore
it.
Besides,
a
lot
of
the
homeless
issues
are
count
are
caused
by
these
same
business
owners
that
don't
pay
a
livable
wage.
AJ
AJ
AJ
A
You
that
was
the
two
minute
time
limit.
Yes,
all
right
do
we
have
other
council
member
comments
at
this
time?
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
I
think
I
was
going
to
have
comments,
but
I
think
I'm
done.
We
thank
you.
We
the
meeting.
We
are
adjourning
the
meeting
at
9
13
pm
and
we
will
adjourn
until
February
21st
at
5
30..
Thank
you
all
very
much.
