VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. CASE GPA 01-79 , CITY OF PALM DESERT, APPLICANT: CONSIDERATION
OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE PALM DESERT GENERAL PLAN TO INCORPORATE
A SPECIFIC PLAN FOR THE PALM VALLEY STORMWATER CHANNEL AREA
(CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING FROM MEETING OF MARCH 22, 1979) .
Mr. Williams reported that at the previous Council meeting,
Staff had presented changes to the draft plan that had been
forwarded to Council by the Planning Commission. Staff has
prepared Resolution No. 79-36 which would adapt the Plan
as recommended with changes discussed at the last meeting .
He pointed out that since the last meeting, Council had
received a letter from Rancho Mirage indicating their favor
of the amendment with one concern dealing with density in
the range of slopes exceeding 20%. Our Plan speaks of 35%.
Theri in Study Session, Council had received a series of
letters from Mr. Fox who asked that Council exclude his
property from this Plan to allow them to move forward with
their Master Plan for his property. In review of his plans ,
Staff felt it would be appropriate that Council not grant
his request and incorporate his property because his con-
cept, in its present state, could be developed to the City' s
standards .. The zoning adjustments recommended by this Plan
will not be presented to the Council for at least 3 months
which will leave Mr. Fox with sufficient time to submit his
plans .
In Mr . Fox' s second letter, he asks that overhead utility
lines be allowed initially and buried later . This is also
in accordance with Mrs . Cree' s request. In his third letter,
Mr. Fox suggests that any fees for bridges , etc. be collected
from the commercial area. However, these fees can only be
required on property which will benefit from improvements,
and Staff can find no justification for imposing such fees
on commercial development as they would not be direct bene-
factors .
In conclusion, Mr. Williams stated that it was Staff ' s
recommendation that Council adopt Resolution No . 79-36
with the suggested revisions .
Mayor Mullins invited input in FAVOR of the amendment .
MRS. DORIE CREE, 500 Devon Street, Long Beach, addressed
Council as a property owner in the area being discussed
and expressing her favor of the amendment . However, she
indicated that they were very interested in building their
home in the near future and asked if she were to file for
a building permit next month, could she get it or would
she have to wait until the Plan and related zoning are all
in effect.
Mr. Williams responded that Mrs . Cree would have to apply
for a Conditional Use Permit which would be processed
through the Planning Commission. If approved, she could
' then be issued a building permit .

Mayor Mullins invited input in OPPOSITION to the Plan, and non
was offered. He declared the Public Hearing closed.
Mayor Mullins pointed out that a lot of work had gone into
this Plan, and Paul Williams and his staff were to be con-
gratulated on it. Councilman Newbrander added that it was
a beautiful study which had been very well presented.
Councilman Newbrander moved and Councilman Brush seconded to
waive further reading and adopt Resolution No . 79-36, amending the
Palm Desert General Plan to incorporate the Palm Valley Stormwater
Channel Area Specific Plan. Motion carried unanimously.
VIII. RESOLUTIONS
A. RESOLUTION NO. 79-37 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING THE ACCEPTANCE
OF CERTAIN DEEDS FOR PROPERTY PURCHASED BY THE CITY IN ACCOR-
DANCE WITH THE C . O.D. SPECIFIC PLAN AND DIRECTING THE CITY
CLERK TO RECORD SAID DEEDS .
Mr. Ortega stated that this was another in the series of
resolutions presented to Council for purchase of land
within the C. O.D. Specific Plan area for the purpose of
widening Monterey Avenue. We have been successful in
purchasing 2 more lots for this widening, said lots being
located about in the middle of Monterey Avenue. A total
of 28 lots are to be purchased, and thus far, the City
has acquired about 14.
Councilman McPherson moved and Councilman Newbrander seconded to
waive further reading and adopt Resolution No . 79-37 . Motion carried
unanimously.
B. RESOLUTION NO. 79-38 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A POLICY FOR
REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES FOR CONFERENCE ATTENDANCE BY CITY
REPRESENTATIVES .
Mr. Ortega advised that the City had not had a formal policy
relative to these reimbursements . From time to time, both
Council and Staff must attend educational seminars or work
shops . This resolution sets forth guidelines related to
attendance by City representatives .
Councilman Wilson stated that nothing in the Policy addressed
itself to out-of-state travel . With the cost of gas and air
fare, he thought Council should take a closer look at it ,
and he would like to see a statement relative to City Council
approval before attendance is approved. Each case should be
reviewed individually. Councilman Brush pointed out that
each trip is specified in the budget, and approval is given
at that time. Councilman Wilson stated that this was done
on a departmental basis, and he would like to see a report
on out-of-state travel by all departments combined, a figure
he found to be frighteningly high. Councilman Brush suggested
the item be taken off the Agenda for further discussion in
a Study Session.
Councilman Wilson also pointed out that under the section
entitled "General" , the term "social expenses" was weak
and wide open. Who defines what is social? Mr. Ortega
responded that all expenses , including social expenses ,
were approved not only by the Department Head involved
but also by the Director of Finance, and any questionable
social expense could be denied. Councilman Wilson asked
that this be more specifically defined in the resolution.
Councilman Wilson moved and Councilman Newbrander seconded to
continue the matter of Resolution No . 79-38 to the meeting of April 26,
1979, to allow time for further discussion with Staff in Study Session.
Motion carried unanimously.
