RESOLUTION NO. 2020-70
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM
DESERT, CALIFORNIA, TEMPORARILY WAIVING FEES FOR
TEMPORARY USE PERMITS UNTIL THE END OF FISCAL YEAR
2020/2021
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on the
27th day of August 2020, consider a request by the CITY OF PALM DESERT for
approval to waive all fees related to Temporary Use Permits for the balance of Fiscal
Year 2020/2021; and
WHEREAS, said City Council did find the following facts and reasons to exist to
approve the said request:
1. As the easing of the COVID-19 Pandemic restrictions ensues, the City
Council desires to encourage the business community to reopen safely and
distanced in accordance with the Governor's Executive Order, which includes
the use of temporary dining areas, outdoor displays, or other temporary
measures that would aid in their success.
2. The temporary uses described above are typically approved by the issuance
of a Temporary Use Permit, pursuant to Palm Desert Municipal Code Section
25.34.080. City Council Resolution 2012-37 provides that the fee for the
issuance of a Temporary Use Permit is $87.
3. The benefit to the community of facilitating these uses under current
circumstances outweighs the minimal fee collected for Temporary Use
Permits for the above -referenced period of time.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Palm
Desert, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of
the City Council in this case.
2 That the fee for Temporary Use Permits is waived until June 30, 2021.
