STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Waive further reading and pass Ordinance No.(s)966, 967, 968to second reading, approving Zoning Ordinances Amendments 00-5, 00-7, 00-8. B. BACKGROUND: At its meeting of August 15, 2000, the Planning Commission voted 2-1 , recommending approval to the City Council for the three proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments. Commissioner Finerty voted no and Commissioners Jonathan and Lopez were absent. Commissioner Finerty indicated that her only concern was with Ordinance No. 966, 967, 968 STAFF REPORT ZOA 00-5, 007, 008 SEPTEMBER 14, 2000 a portion of ZOA 00-7, "Stealth installations of communication towers and antennas". Specifically, Commissioner Finerty indicated that she would like to see communication towers and antennas prohibited in the Open Space Districts. Chairman Beaty stated that he felt the revision to the ordinance was drafted to allow with approval of a conditional use permit, towers and or antennas that would blend in with the existing natural environment (i.e. towers designed as artificial palm trees), including natural environments found in Open Spaces Districts. Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) 00-5, "Short term rentals in R-1 zones" and ZOA 00-8 "Garage and carport setbacks in the R-1 zone" were approved as recommended by the Zoning Ordinance Review Committee (ZORC). ZOA 00-7, as it relates to "Stealth installation of communication towers and antennas" was approved with two modifications. The modifications are identified in bold and italic text in Section C.2. Minutes from the August 15, 2000 Planning Commission meeting are also attached. C. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS: 1 . ZOA 00-5: Short Term Rental in the R-1 Zone. DISCUSSION: It has recently become popular to rent/lease for short periods of time single- family residences in the city. This has been done in the private country clubs for many years. In the private communities this is handled through a central office and is provided for in the CC&R's. In residences outside of private communities there is no central office and the neighbors only learn of the rentals through experience with different persons in the home each week or month. The current code is silent on the issue of short-term rentals of dwellings in the R-1 district. ANALYSIS: ZORC heard from several residents at its June meeting and concluded that short- term rentals (30 days or less) do not need to be prohibited outright but could be controlled through the conditional use permit process. The city attorney concurred with this approach. The amendment will allow for short-term rentals (less than 30 days) upon approval of a CUP by Planning Commission following a noticed public hearing. Staff has spoken to one person doing this activity and he has no 2 Ordinance No. 966, 967, 968 STAFFREPORT ZOA 00-5, 007, 008 SEPTEMBER 14, 2000 problem with going through the CUP process. Rentals of 31 days or more will continue to be unrestricted. Short Term Rentals in the R-1 Zone: Amend Section 25.16.030 by adding "J." 2. Rental or leasing of a single-family dwelling for periods of less than 30 days. 2. ZOA 00-7: Stealth Installation of Commercial Communication Towers and Antennas DISCUSSION: One of the goals of the City's Telecommunication Tower and Antenna Ordinance is to minimize visual impacts of commercial communication towers and antennas through use of innovative camouflaging techniques. For example, the use of communication towers designed as artificial palm trees has successfully been utilized throughout the City. With the use of other live palm trees, the stealth designed communication towers have blended in with their natural environments by creating a palm grove effect. If the communication tower or antenna is determined to blend in with their natural environment, the Planning Commission may waive the separation requirements from both single-family zones (300') and other towers (500' if under 50' high / 1000' if over 50' high). The maximum height for stealth installation of communication towers or antennas shall be limited to 65' from ground level to the top of the antennas. Materials such as palm fronds or other like materials may project 10 feet above the 65' foot height limit. ANALYSIS: The addition of Section 25.104.060 (Stealth Installations) will allow both the City's Architectural Review Commission and Planning Commission to determine which stealth installations are designed to blend in with their existing natural environment and warrant exceptions to the separation requirements from residential zoned properties and other similar stealth installations. This will allow for grouping of artificial palm trees and live palm trees creating cluster effects. 3 Ordinance No. 966, 967, 968 STAFFREPORT ZOA 00-5, 007, 008 SEPTEMBER 14, 2000 By limiting the height of stealth designed installations to 65', the City is accepting more stealth designed installations versus fewer communication towers at a maximum height of 85'. Although this amendment may result in greater numbers of stealth installations, they will be designed and camouflaged to blend in with their natural environment. The City's Zoning Ordinance Review Committee reviewed the addition of the new section on June 14, 2000 and voted unanimously to recommend approval to the Planning Commission and City Council. At the August 15, 2000 Planning Commission recommended approval of the amendment to the communication and antenna ordinance with two modifications to the Zoning Ordinance Review Commission's recommendation. Those two modifications are identified in bold and italics below. The modifications require creation of vegetation clusters through the use of artificial and natural vegetation. The second change limits the height of the artificial vegetation to 10' above the prescribed 65' antenna height. Amend Section to 25.104. by adding ".060" : A. Stealth installation of commercial communication towers and antennas are those determined by the Architectural Review Commission and the Planning Commission to be designed to blend in with their existing natural environment (i.e. monopoles designed as artificial palm trees), creating a cluster effect through the use a mix of artificial and natural vegetation. In addition to the aforementioned sections, stealth installations shall be subject to the following development standards: B. Height. No stealth commercial communication tower or antenna shall exceed 65 feet in height as measured from ground level to top of the antenna. Frond or artificial vegetation height shall not exceed more than 10 feet from the top of the antenna. C. Separation From Off-Site Uses and Other Commercial Communication Towers. 1 . The Planning Commission may waive the separation requirements from residential zoned properties and residential uses found in Section 25.104.040 (B) 2, if it is determined 4 Ordinance No. 966, 967, 968 STAFF REPORT ZOA 00-5, 007, 008 SEPTEMBER 14, 2000 that the tower or antenna utilizes an approved stealth design (i.e. artificial palm tree). 2. The Planning Commission may waive the separation requirements between Commercial Communication Towers found in Section 25.104.040 (C), if determined that the tower or antenna utilizes an approved stealth design (i.e. artificial palm tree). 3. ZOA 00-8: Garages & Carport Setbacks in R-1 Zone. DISCUSSION: Covered or shaded parking has been a long-term goal of the city. For new residences the code requires that two covered parking spaces be provided for all new single-family dwellings. This has been required since 1975. In areas of the town with dwellings built before 1975 and in areas built under County standards (i.e., recently annexed) it is not unusual for them to have only one covered parking space or none. In some cases garages have been converted to living space. Considering the extent of the problem (i.e., currently have 3 variance applications pending to allow carports in the setback) staff took the matter to ZORC at its July 12, 2000 meeting. ZORC concurred that we should be encouraging rehabilitation of older dwellings and to make them consistent with current code requirements. ZORC was careful to only recommend the reduced setback for open carport structures. ZORC recommended that open carports on older dwellings be permitted with a setback of 20 feet from curb and that side-in carports be permitted to within 16 feet of the curb. Many private communities have the property line immediately in back of the curb with the garages 20 feet from the property line. ANALYSIS: Staff and ZORC recommend that this amendment be recommended for approval to the city council. We have certain R-1 front yard setbacks of 15 feet. Elsewhere in the code garages are prescribed at 20 feet from property line with side-in garages 16 5 Ordinance No. 966, 967, 968 STAFF REPORT ZOA 00-5, 007, 008 SEPTEMBER 14, 2000 feet from property line. We are taking this opportunity to clarify this provision in the actual R-1 zone text. Zoning Ordinance Review Committee reviewed an earlier version of this proposed amendment and supported its implementation as follows: Amend Section 25.16.090 by adding the following to Section "A." Notwithstanding the preceding in the R-1 District, the required minimum front setback to a garage door shall be (20) feet measured from the property line and for a side entry garage (16) feet measured from the property line. Amend Section 25.16.090 by adding Section "C." In order to encourage rehabilitation of older dwelling units and to provide shaded parking for vehicles, the Architectural Review Commission may approve well designed carport structures with a minimum setback of (20) feet to be measured from the curb face to the front edge of the carport structure. Side-in carport structures may be approved to a minimum setback of (16) feet measured from the curb face to the nearest projection of the carport. In approving such setback, the Architectural Review Commission shall send a notice to property owners within 300 feet of the property and make a determination that the reduced setback will not have a detrimental impact on the neighborhood, taking into account the opinions of nearby property owners and any property owners associations. CEQA REVIEW: The proposed amendments are considered Class 5 categorical exemptions for purposes of CEQA and no further documentation is necessary. 6 Ordinance No. 966, 967, 968 STAFF REPORT ZOA 00-5, 007, 008 SEPTEMBER 14, 2000 Prepared by S eve Smith / Martin Al arez Ae Reviewed and Approved by Philip Drell Reviewed and Approved by Carlos Ortega, City Manager MEETING DATE Gf - I Li CY-) ❑ CONTINUED TO MfASSED TO 2ND READING 7 CIIY OF PP ' m � ESER1 73-5Io FRED WARING DRIVI, PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA 9236o-3578 TEL: 760 346-D6[I FAX: 760 341-7098 into@p.lm-desert.o,g CITY OF PALM DESERT LEGAL NOTICE CASE NO.

IL ZOA 00-7: Stealth Installation of Commercial Communication Towers and Antennas A. DISCUSSION: One of the goals of the City's Telecommunication Tower and Antenna Ordinance is to minimize visual impacts of commercial communication towers and antennas through use of innovative camouflaging techniques. For example, the use of communication towers designed as artificial palm trees has successfully been utilized throughout the City. With the use of other live palm trees, the stealth designed communication towers have blended in with their natural environments by creating a palm grove effect. If the communication tower or antenna is determined to blend in with their natural environment, the Planning Commission may waive the separation requirements from both single-family zones (300') and other towers (500' if under 50' high / 1000' if over 50' high). The maximum height for stealth installation of communication towers or antennas shall be limited to 65' from ground level to the top of the antennas. Materials such as palm fronds or other like materials may project above the 65' foot height limit. w to p, -, 40 I d ' -_�� 2 STAFF REPORT CASE NO. ZOA 00-05, 07, 08 AUGUST 15, 2000 B. ANALYSIS: The addition of Section 25.104.060 (Stealth Installations) will allow both the City's Architectural Review Commission and Planning Commission to determine which stealth installations are designed to blend in with their -existing natural environment and warrant exceptions to the separation �J N requirements from residential zoned properties and other similar stealth Q installations. This will allow for grouping of artificial palm trees and live .,� palm trees creating cluster effects. By limiting the height of stealth designed installations to 65', the City is accepting more stealth designed installations versus fewer communication towers at a maximum height of 85'. Although this amendment may result in greater numbers of stealth installations, they will be designed and camouflaged to blend in with their natural environment. The City's Zoning Ordinance Review Committee reviewed the addition of the new section on June 14, 2000 and voted unanimously to recommend approval to the Planning Commission and City Council as follows. Amend Section to 25.104. by adding ".060" : 25.104.060 Stealth Installation of Commercial Communication Towers and Antennas. A. Stealth installation of commercial communication towers and antennas are those determined by the Architectural Review Commission and the Planning Commission to be designed to blend in with their existing natural environment (i.e. monopoles designed as artificial palm trees). In addition to the aforementioned sections, stealth installations shall be subject to the following development standards: B. Height. No. stealth commercial communication tower or antenna shall exceed 65 feet in height as measured from ground level to top of the antenna. 3 STAFF REPORT CASE NO. ZOA 00-05, 07, 08 AUGUST 15, 2000 C. Separation From Off-Site Uses and Other Commercial Communication Towers. 1 . The Planning Commission may waive the separation requirements from residential zoned properties and residential uses found in Section 25.104.040 (B) 2, if it is determined that the tower or antenna utilizes an approved stealth design (i.e. artificial palm tree). 2. The Planning Commission may waive the separation requirements between Commercial Communication Towers found in Section 25.104.040 (C), if determined that the tower or antenna utilizes an approved stealth design (i.e. artificial palm tree). III. ZOA 00-8: Garages & Carport Setbacks in R-1 Zone. A. DISCUSSION: Covered or shaded parking has been a long-term goal of the city. For new residences the code requires that two covered parking spaces be provided for all new single-family dwellings. This has been required since 1975. In areas of the town with dwellings built before 1975 and in areas built under County standards (i.e., recently annexed) it is not unusual for them to have only one covered parking space or none. In some cases garages have been converted to living space. Considering the extent of the problem (i.e., currently have 3 variance applications pending to allow carports in the setback) staff took the matter to ZORC at its July 12, 2000 meeting. ZORC concurred that we should be encouraging rehabilitation of older dwellings and to make them consistent with current code requirements. ZORC was careful to only recommend the reduced setback for open carport structures. ZORC recommended that open carports on older dwellings be permitted with a setback of 20 feet from curb and that side-in carports be permitted to within 16 feet of the curb. 4 STAFF REPORT CASE NO. ZOA 00-05, 07, 08 AUGUST 15, 2000 Many private communities have the property line immediately in back of the curb with the garages 20 feet from the property line. B. ANALYSIS: Staff and ZORC recommend that this amendment be recommended for approval to the city council. We have certain R-1 front yard setbacks of 15 feet. Elsewhere in the code garages are prescribed at 20 feet from property line with side-in garages 16 feet from property line. We are taking this opportunity to clarify this provision in the actual R-1 zone text. Zoning Ordinance Review Committee reviewed an earlier version of this proposed amendment and supported its implementation as follows: Amend Section 25.16.090 by adding the following to Section "A." Notwithstanding the preceding in the R-1 District, the required minimum front setback to a garage door shall be (20) feet measured from the property line and for a side entry garage (16) feet measured from the property line. Amend Section 25.16.090 by adding Section "C." In order to encourage rehabilitation of older dwelling units and to provide shaded parking for vehicles, the Architectural Review Commission may approve well designed carport structures with a minimum setback of (20) feet to be measured from the curb face to the front edge of the carport structure. Side-in carport structures may be approved to a minimum setback of (16) feet measured from the curb face to the nearest projection of the carport. In approving such setback, the Architectural Review Commission shall send a notice to property owners within 300 feet of the property and make a determination that the reduced setback will not have a detrimental impact on the neighborhood, taking into account the opinions of nearby property owners and any property owners associations. 5 STAFF REPORT CASE NO.

APPLICANT: City of Palm Desert 73-510 Fred Waring Drive Palm Desert, CA 92260 I. ZOA 00-5: Short Term Rental in the R-1 Zone. A. DISCUSSION: It has recently become popular to rent/lease for short periods of time single-family residences in the city. This has been done in the private country clubs for many years. In the private communities this is handled through a central office and is provided for in the CC&R's. In residences outside of private communities there is no central office and the neighbors only learn of the rentals through experience with different persons in the home each week or month. The current code is silent on the issue of short-term rentals of dwellings in the R-1 district. B. ANALYSIS: ZORC heard from several residents at its June meeting and concluded that short- term rentals (30 days or less) do not need to be prohibited outright but could be controlled through the conditional use permit process. The city attorney concurred with this approach. STAFF REPORT CASE NO. ZOA 00-05, 07, 08 AUGUST 15, 2000 The amendment will allow for short-term rentals (less than 30 days) upon approval of a CUP by Planning Commission following a noticed public hearing. Staff has spoken to one person doing this activity and he has no problem with going through the CUP process. Rentals of 31 days or more will continue to be unrestricted. Short Term Rentals in the R-1 Zone: Amend Section 25.16.030 by adding "J." J. Rental or leasing of a single-family dwelling for periods of less than 30 days. II. ZOA 00-7: Stealth Installation of Commercial Communication Towers and Antennas A. DISCUSSION: One of the goals of the City's Telecommunication Tower and Antenna Ordinance is to minimize visual impacts of commercial communication towers and antennas through use of innovative camouflaging techniques. For example, the use of communication towers designed as artificial palm trees has successfully been utilized throughout the City. With the use of other live palm trees, the stealth designed communication towers have blended in with their natural environments by creating a palm grove effect. If the communication tower or antenna is determined to blend in with their natural environment, the Planning Commission may waive the separation requirements from both single-family zones (300') and other towers (500' if under 50' high / 1000' if over 50' high). The maximum height for stealth installation of communication towers or antennas shall be limited to 65' from ground level to the top of the antennas. Materials such as palm fronds or other like materials may project above the 65' foot height limit. 2 STAFF REPORT CASE NO. ZOA 00-05, 07, 08 AUGUST 15, 2000 B. ANALYSIS: The addition of Section 25.104.060 (Stealth Installations) will allow both the City's Architectural Review Commission and Planning Commission to determine which stealth installations are designed to blend in with their existing natural environment and warrant exceptions to the separation requirements from residential zoned properties and other similar stealth installations. This will allow for grouping of artificial palm trees and live palm trees creating cluster effects. By limiting the height of stealth designed installations to 65', the City is accepting more stealth designed installations versus fewer communication towers at a maximum height of 85'. Although this amendment may result in greater numbers of stealth installations, they will be designed and camouflaged to blend in with their natural environment. The City's Zoning Ordinance Review Committee reviewed the addition of the new section on June 14, 2000 and voted unanimously to recommend approval to the Planning Commission and City Council as follows. Amend Section to 25.104. by adding ".060" 25.104.060 Stealth Installation of Commercial Communication Towers and Antennas. A. Stealth installation of commercial communication towers and antennas are those determined by the Architectural Review Commission and the Planning Commission to be designed to blend in with their existing natural environment (i.e. monopoles designed as artificial palm trees). In addition to the aforementioned sections, stealth installations shall be subject to the following development standards: B. Height. No stealth commercial communication tower or antenna shall exceed 65 feet in height as measured from ground level to top of the antenna. 3 STAFF REPORT CASE NO. ZOA 00-05, 07, 08 AUGUST 15, 2000 C. Separation From Off-Site Uses and Other Commercial Communication Towers. 1 . The Planning Commission may waive the separation requirements from residential zoned properties and residential uses found in Section 25.104.040 (B) 2, if it is determined that the tower or antenna utilizes an approved stealth design (i.e. artificial palm tree). 2. The Planning Commission may waive the separation requirements between Commercial Communication Towers found in Section 25.104.040 (C), if determined that the tower or antenna utilizes an approved stealth design (i.e. artificial palm tree). III. ZOA 00-8: Garages & Carport Setbacks in R-1 Zone. A. DISCUSSION: Covered or shaded parking has been a long-term goal of the city. For new residences the code requires that two covered parking spaces be provided for all new single-family dwellings. This has been required since 1975. Iri areas of the town with dwellings built before 1975 and in areas built under County standards (i.e., recently annexed) it is not unusual for them to have only one covered parking space or none. In some cases garages have been converted to living space. Considering the extent of the problem (i.e., currently have 3 variance applications pending to allow carports in the setback) staff took the matter to ZORC at its July 12, 2000 meeting. ZORC concurred that we should be encouraging rehabilitation of older dwellings and to make them consistent with current code requirements. ZORC was careful to only recommend the reduced setback for open carport structures. ZORC recommended that open carports on older dwellings be permitted with a setback of 20 feet from curb and that side-in carports be permitted to within 16 feet of the curb. 4 STAFF REPORT CASE NO. ZOA 00-05, 07, 08 AUGUST 15, 2000 Many private communities have the property line immediately in back of the curb with the garages 20 feet from the property line. B. ANALYSIS: Staff and ZORC recommend that this amendment be recommended for approval to the city council. We have certain R-1 front yard setbacks of 15 feet. Elsewhere in the code garages are prescribed at 20 feet from property line with side-in garages 16 feet from property line. We are taking this opportunity to clarify this provision in the actual R-1 zone text. Zoning Ordinance Review Committee reviewed an earlier version of this proposed amendment and supported its implementation as follows: Amend Section 25.16.090 by adding the following to Section "A. Notwithstanding the preceding in the R-1 District, the required minimum front setback to a garage door shall be (20) feet measured from the property line and for a side entry garage (16) feet measured from the property line. Amend Section 25.16.090 by adding Section "C." In order to encourage rehabilitation of older dwelling units and to provide shaded parking for vehicles, the Architectural Review Commission may approve well designed carport structures with a minimum setback of (20) feet to be measured from the curb face to the front edge of the carport structure. Side-in carport structures may be approved to a minimum setback of (16) feet measured from the curb face to the nearest projection of the carport. In approving such setback, the Architectural Review Commission shall send a notice to property owners within 300 feet of the property and make a determination that the reduced setback will not have a detrimental impact on the neighborhood, taking into account the opinions of nearby property owners and any property owners associations. 5 STAFF REPORT CASE NO. ZOA 00-05, 07, 08 AUGUST 15, 2000 IV. CEQA REVIEW: The proposed amendments are considered Class 5 categorical exemptions for purposes of CEQA and no further documentation is necessary. V. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission recommend approval to the City Council of Zoning Ordinance Amendments 00-05, 00-07, and 00-08. VI. ATTACHMENTS: A. Draft resolution B.

As I assume you know there has been a controversy brewing for the past few weeks concerning my home at 73 015 Amber Street. First I would like to briefly introduce my wife and myself and then give you some further information regarding the accusations made by Suzanne McBride. Hopefully this will help you in evaluating this controversy and understanding just what is transpiring in our neighborhood. My wife Cindy and I had been looking for months throughout the desert for a second home that we could use during the rainy months in Seattle and eventually retire to. We fell in love with the Canyon Cove neighborhood and purchased our home in November of 1997. Having two children still in college we decided that until they finished schooling we would rent out our home to help defray some of our costs. By renting out our home on a seasonal basis we would still be able.to enjoy some time there ourselves. It seemed to us a perfect way to affect our grand plan of having the best of two great worlds. As our kids finished school we would be able to use our home more and more. To that end we began working with Micki Jeffries, who has a home in Silver Spur Ranch _ and has been handling vacation rental properties in the desert for several years. We liked the professional manner in which she conducted business and were especially pleased with the tight control she seemed to have with her properties. She has limited the number of properties she handles and this allows her to give more personal service to both the homeowners and the clients to whom she rents. We felt that all was going fairly well with this arrangement. We had talked with our immediate neighbors regarding our plans for our house and there was no opposition presented. Over the past two and a half years we did have a few specific complaints from our immediate neighbors. One concerned a pastor from Torrance who has six adopted children. They liked to play in the pool and made noise that bothered one of our neighbors. Micki contacted them and asked them to keep the kids quiet and limit their outside play to the daytime. This year when they wanted to rent our house again we deferred and they went elsewhere for their vacation. Our house was not rented during that period. The second complaint came concerning a dog that a couple had brought with them during their vacation. The dog barked one afternoon. Our neighbors contacted Micki and she immediately contacted the couple and they brought the dog inside and as far as I know there was no further noise from the dog. When Micki informed me about the problem I told her to not rent our home again to anyone who had pets with them. The final complaint that I was made aware of was with a group of women who had rented from us the previous year. Again they were enjoying the pool during the day and early evening and one of the neighbors was annoyed by the noise. They also had come at different times and therefore there were five cars parked at the house over the weekend. When contacted they were unaware that they were bothering anyone and promised to keep the noise down from that point on. The reason that I am going into such detail is to make the point that any and all complaints that we had were handled immediately. Both of our immediate neighbors were given Micki's 800-phone number and her beeper number so that if there was a problem it could be dealt with immediately. When I was made aware of the problems I took steps to make sure that the problems did not reoccur. My goat was to do all I could to insure that there was no impact on my neighbors and I felt that we were doing that. This all came to a head at the beginning of May when Suzanne McBride contacted Micki via email and informed her that she was contacting the Palm Desert planning and zoning departments concerning what she considered a violation of zoning statutes regarding the renting of our home. Micki followed up immediately and was informed that the matter was under consideration and would be dealt with by the city. Suzanne contacted her again via email a few weeks later advising her that she would formalize her complaint if she did not get a satisfactory answer from Micki. Micki replied via email and at that point I called Suzanne to try and clarify the situation. Suzanne seemed quite angry when I spoke with her. She insinuated that what we were doing with our house was operating like a hotel and that our actions were driving down the home values and ruining the neighborhood. She even suggested at one point that we really did not belong in the neighborhood and that we should sell our home and buy a condo since.it was obvious that we were really condo people. I wasn't quite sure how to take that.comment but it was obvious that she was very perturbed and intended to do something to change a situation that she didn't like. She was also upset with the fact that Micki did not have a real estate agent's license. That is a separate issue that is being dealt with and I don't think that it is necessary to go into that in this letter. If you want details on that I can provide them to you. What is important are the issues that Suzanne has raised regarding what we-are doing with our home and how it is affecting our neighborhood. I made a trip down to the desert in May to try and deal with some of these issues and hopefully defuse the situation. It has never been my or Cindy's intent to cause any controversy or turmoil. We want to be good neighbors and enjoy the community. I spoke with Jon McBride when I came down and explained where we're coming from and what our intentions were. He told me that they didn't like the idea of weekend rentals and he felt that that was bad for the neighborhood. In the two and a half years that we have had the house we have only had six long weekend rentals. I have included a schedule of rentals and also a brief profile of the people we have been renting to. I told Jon that I would not do any more weekend rentals other than a group of golfers who were coming for the following week, to whom I had already made a commitment. I told him that we would not do any rentals of less than 30 days until we heard from the city. He indicated that that was fine with him and I felt that we parted well. When I returned and spoke with Cindy we decided that we would not do any weekend rentals regardless of the city's decision, since this seemed to be the main problem that the McBrides had with our home. I then informed Micki of our decision to discontinue the long weekend rentals. The Monday after I left, Suzanne filed her formal complaint with the city and it is my understanding that she also began contacting the surrounding neighbors to enlist support for her cause. I did not see a petition and did not hear directly what was said about us but the inference was that it was not particularly complimentary. Not knowing exactly what was being said I find it a bit hard to defend ourselves and our actions but let me try to address a couple of issues. First and foremost is the suggestion that we have brought a nuisance to the neighborhood by having short-term rentals and that we are not responsive to our neighbors. The majority of our rentals have been for a month or more. I have enclosed the rules of the house that each guest is provided with. We take a substantial deposit from each guest and if there is a violation of the rules the deposit is forfeited. In the two and a half years we have been renting the house we have only had one instance where we had to take any action. The immediate neighbors have been provided with contact numbers so that if there is a complaint or problem they can call and get it corrected immediately. I,think I that we have been totally receptive whenever there has been a problem or complaint. The next contention is that having a vacation rental in our neighborhood is ruining I . property values. I contacted my realtor and inquired about the property valuations since we purchased our home. In reviewing the comps for our neighborhood it seems that home values have increased substantially over the past two years. When I asked.about the effect of having a vacation rental in the area he informed me that this would have little or no effect on the valuation of a property. If this were a-home that was being rented out for parties or college spring breaks it.would be a different story. I think that we have been very responsible in our use of our home and Suzanne's contention that we are operating a nuisance is far from the actuality. This type of activity is a part of life . throughout the Coachella Valley. There are hundreds of homes that are rented out to visitors who come to our community to vacation and enjoy all that the desert has to offer. Many are just like Cindy and me who visit the desert as tourists and decide to settle here and make a home. It would be wonderful to make the transition immediate but that is not always possible as in our case. We foresee spending more time in our home and renting it less over the next two years and hopefully will be in the position to not do any rentals in three or four years. Contrary to what you have heard we do not have any other vacation rentals in the desert and have no intention of making this a business. We love our home and want to enjoy it for our children and ourselves. In closing I want to thank you for taking the time to listen to our side of things. This whole thing has sneaked up on us and really thrown as for a loop. We truly want to be good neighbors and protect the community where we want to live and retire. If you have any questions or concerns that we can answer or clarify, please feel free to drop Micki Jeffries or us a note or give us a call.

Mr. Jim Ritchie, owner has forwarded you a copy of his letter sent to many of the surrounding neighbors to introduce himself and provide'them with accurate information of the short term rental of his home. He is also trying to arrange:his schedule so that he night attend the next meeting on July 12th. Because of the manner in which Ms. McBride handled her complaint, this issue has taken quite a toll on the Ritohie's, myself and my family and we'look forward to a decision from the Committee so that we might proceed with our lives and business. This past week I turned away a family of 2 adults and their 3 boys ages 4 to l l for the month of July. They were very interested in the Amber Street house, but I had to place them elsewhere as I'm confident the Burgeners will, as in the recent past, complain when they hear the family enjoying themselves in the back yard and pool. Once the Committee has made a ruling that ensures our tenants the same living privileges enjoyed by residents of the community, I will be more comfortable placing a family at the property, even for a month or longer- [ will touch base with your office early next week to verify the meeting. As tite sole proprietor of my business and responsibilities to my clients, I am personally unable to attend. However, Mr. Ritchie will make it a priority and he has the knowledge and experience to represent us in this matter. After reviewing all the materials Mr. Ritchie and 1 have sent you, should you require any further information or documentation, don't hesitate to phone or fax and I'll respond immediately.

Ms McBride contends that because the property is zoned R-1, that we are illegally permitting tenancy of less than 30 days. I understand this matter is now before the City Attorney and will be discussed at the upcoming City Council Meeting Thursday, May 25, 2000. I've been granted a Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)Permit as well as Business License by the City,, originally in 1996,copies enclosed, which require an updated list of applicable homes and condos.annually at renewal. Further, my business was audited by the City in . 1997 for 1996, and determined to be in full compliance. Palm Desert has continued to accept the month of February as a full month and exempt from TOT. Taxing those occupants who have visited for decades during the month,of February could result in their looking to other "sun cities" such as Palm Springs who have always set their tax structure at 28 days/month. Worse yet, they may go to Arizona or Florida! Since March, 1996, my sole-proprietor business with less than 28 homes and condos has paid the City of Palm Desert $13,197.12 thru April, 2000! Multiply that by the hundreds of agents in Palm Desert alone and consider the lost revenue should our private homes, whose rents begin at $1300/week, no longer be available for less than 30 days. My accounting records are enclosed for both Palm Desert and Palm Springs. I've just acquired a TOT permit for Indian Wells. My Rancho Mirage properties continue to rent for 30 days or longer because of CC&R requirements and I do not hold a TOT permit for that city. As a member of Palm Desert, Palm Springs and LaQuinta Chambers of Commerce, I've worked closely with other agents in the Desert Community over the years to be competitive in offering only the very best of homes and condos for short term rental, while maintaining the highest of standards in providing responsible tenants of integrity. Mr. Joy advised he would supply you with the list of TOT Permit holders in Palm Desert and I'm enclosing lists of the all Desert Chamber members and advertisers in the Desert Sun who offer both homes and condos for vacation rental. Agents not offering properties for less than 30 days have told me they don't do so because of the complications involving monthly reporting, tax payments and other required paperwork such as the enclosed Transient Occupancy Tax Exemption Form, which 1 must provide, signed by the tenant, for those stays over 30 days, exempting them from the tax obligation. The backbone and financial stability of our Desert is tourism. We build golf courses and tennis courts, country clubs, fine restaurants, theatre and entertainment for our visitors. The very people who live in the Desert now once came to us during their vacation and loved it so much they retired here. Every business has one sole purpose and that is to provide for our visitors. We have our own home in Silver Spur Ranch which is for that very purpose and we offer it for vacation rental until the day, not too far away, that we too can live there permanently. There are hundreds of private homes throughout the Desert offered for vacation rental and have been for decades. Of course, without strict guidelines, rules and regulations, there can be problems. For example, we provide full color fotosheets and absolutely do not show the property to anyone. Tenants do not even get the exact address until their security deposit and ID are received and are told they may not drive by. The last thing we want are people cruising the streets, truly bothering the neighbors. Some people will not rent without being shown and they are encouraged to look elsewhere. However, it would be arrogant to assume that those visiting us for less than 30 days are of a lower standard than people of age who can afford the time to vacation for a longer period. Our properties are occupied by families, corporate business, intimate getaways and others whose fives don't permit them away from home and business for more than a week or two. Do we command these guests, who can afford the enormous cost of a home or condo rental to stay at a hotel??? Do we assume that because they are staying for less than 30 days that the will not be responsible for the care of the property or be respectful of the neighbors? Substantial security deposits as well as current ID are collected and I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to . retain even a portion. Such behavior is not be acceptable to me or the owners and I would not conduct a business that would cause either of us such griefl I've never experienced a disgruntled neighbor until now. Those home owned by retirees who only spend high season in our desert are the ones that present the most problem. Even in the most desirable and even gated communities, vacant properties are often subject to home invasion, robberies and vandalism. We walk our dog thru our desert streets in the evenings and find so many homes, obviously vacant, with no lighting whatsoever. This is what a good neighbor should object to. I counsel all owners to have home and yard lights on sensors to give the appearance that someone is there. As our desert grows, the crime will be fast behind and we are already experiencing an alarming number of problems that are caused by the people moving into the valley, not those who are visiting. My experience with people who live on rent has not been good as they are the ones who neither respect the property or the community. Our visitors want to be welcomed back time and again. Enclosed find copies of the Rental Agreement, Liability Release and House Rules for the referenced property owned by Jim and Cindy Ritchie as well as fotosheet, property profile and rate structure. Also enclosed is a schedule of their rentals since we first began in November, 1997 and a copy of the CC&R's. While the majority of tenants at this property have been 30 days or longer, Ms. McBride and Carol Burgenan, whose home is directly behind the Ritchie's, and who have always had my toll-free number, have never brought any problems to my attention until last fall. Each and every complaint, reasonable or not, was immediately addressed. Although insulting to our tenants for the most part, they complied. Ms. Burgenan can be reached at 760-346-4581 should you have any questions of her. Ms. McBride's phone number is 760-779-0721, I'm available 24-7 to both tenants and neighbors in the event of problems. Even while on vacation, I can be paged. Before making your decision, I urge you to contact some of the major Realtors in the Desert for their experience with private home rentals. I have to believe that every home in a private community is zoned R-1 and no one would willingly operate in violation of City codes. Mike McLean of McLean's Rentals in Palm Springs has over 175 properties and has been the major rental agent in the Desert for years. His phone number is 760-322- 2500. The enclosed Desert Sun ads feature Fred Sands, Tarbell, Remax and many other major Realtors and independents. Prior to and during high season, the page is full! There are other advertisers as well who have no licenses or permits whatsoever, which:I will address in a separate enclosure. In conclusion, enforcing a law that forbids the rental of private homes for less than 30 days will cost the Desert Community millions of dollars in tax revenues and by its very existence, sends a message to these visitors, who are financially able and responsible, that they are not welcome. Impose whatever terms and conditions you wish to impose in order to control and regulate these rentals as the tenants will be more than happy to comply in order to enjoy the peace and privacy of our lovely homes. However, whatever :your decision, you can be assured that we will uphold and enforce its ruling.

Section 3.28. When I first obtained my permit in 1996, one of the first questions I had was about the 28/29 days of February. Franld confirmed to me that the month of February was excepted to the rile and that guests were not liable for T.O.T. providing they checked in on 2/1 and checked'out on 2/29, staying the entire month. I was audited my first year so I was sure to cover the ground for,subsequent years. Now I've received your letter and know that from 1997 - 1999, I have Rental Agreements in violation of the Municipal Codel As you know, most agents are sold out for the month of February by November of the " previous year. I trust your letter, a notice to begin collecting, means "as of the next contract": We currently have three (3) Rental Agreements in place for February, 2000,written and signed months ago. These agreements were written based on the confirmation I received from your office in 1996. 1 left a message for you on Thursday, 1/20/00, but did not hear back. This is an urgent matter to me and my clients and I hope to hear from you on Monday at your earliest opportunity. I also have a T.O.T. permit for Palm Springs and their Ordinance specifies Transients as 28 days or less,copy enclosed I've also cleared with Franld the matter about cleaning and other "fees" and that they are not subject to T.O.T. as you state in your letter. Cleaning fees, as charged by our housekeeping service, appear in our Rental Agreement and we "tolled" them. These fees are then paid in full to the housekeeping service as invoiced We were cleared in our 1996 audit of "charges" as they appear on the Rental Agreement as fees we "collect" and then pay to our vendors. I'm sure other agents operate in the same manner and this needs to be clarified. Your letter intimates we can no longer do this. Our tenants want to see all charges on their Rental Agreement so there are no surprises later so we itemize everything. I certainly hope the City will reconsider this issue and observe the 28day Transient Ruling as in the City of Palm Springs. I spent 15 years of my career in the hotel industry and the 28-day Transient Rule has always applied in this State and others. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

In 1997, 1 had the misfortune to provide tenants for private homes offered for rental by Village Realty in Indian Wells. Don Adlam, who presented himself to me as the Broker for Village Realty, provided a home for which I had five (5) separate tenants, each from 7 . to 14 days during January thru April, 1997. Each tenant had considerable problems and sent me a 1-3 page complaint after check-out. The 5th tenant refused to stay and had to be moved. On each occasion Don, and his wife, Sue made attempts to resolve the problems of cleanliness and amenities, but the: property was substandard. They had provided me with beautiful pictures and it was the last time I rented any'property that I didn't personally inspect. By the end of May, 1997, Betty Vokes, owner and Broker, of Village Realty discovered that her trust account was just about out of funds. In conversation with another local agent, she learned that I had worked with Don and Sue Adlam earlier in the year, obtained my phone number and called me. I met with Betty on Mother's Day and gave her copies of the Rental Agreements, canceled checks endorsed by Don or Sue Adlam and accounting records for the rentals I'd done with the Adlams. Her accountants compared the records, matching each of my checks to those written from the trust account and discovered that the Adlams kept some $32,000 of rents paid them by me as well as other agents and then paid the owners rents from the Village Realty trust account as though the funds were there. They even asked me for the TOT collected from the tenants but when they didn't know what a TOT permit was, I retained the monies and paid the taxes myself. It took over a year before a hearing was held at the Department of Real Estate which I attended and my records and those of the other agents involved were presented. The Adlams, of course, did not attend. After reviewing the evidence, the DRE Board ruled against the Adlams and their license, if they ever had one, was revoked. Mrs. Vokes was financially unable to prosecute the Adlams for the embezzlement so they did not go to prison. As you can see by the copy of a recent ad from the Desert Sun, the Adlams continue to do business in our Desert. I subscribe to the Desert Sun and from the first time I did business with them in early 1997 until this very day, they have run a ad under Vacation Rentals <a�- 103j ail -' uct 116AW 1 r 0 scar .1d^ 12,5K A� WW M01% ?

A!':TION HTIACHED DA T E RE r.JRt%tD CITY OF PALM DESERT DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT' MEMORANDUM TO: CARLOS ORTEGA, ACTING CITY MANAGER FROM: PHILIP DRELL, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DATE: JUNE 6, 2000 SUBJECT: FOLLOW-UP SHORT TERM VACATION RENTALS IN SINGLE FAMILY ZONES BACKGROUND: As a resort community, many of the second homes in Palm Desert are rented out on a short term basis to vacationers for periods ranging from a single weekend to several months. The vast majority of these vacation rentals are .in Planned Residential (PR) zoned gated. communities and country clubs and have never generated any complaints. A few are in R-1 single family zones. While hotels and motels are listed conditional uses in the R•3 and PR zones, they are not.listed uses in the R-1 zones. Unfortunately the Zoning Ordinance.does not specifically restrict the permitted occupancy length of a rental in the R-1: zone. The transient occupancy tax ordinance defines transient use as 31 days or less. Since TOT .is- . a taxing process, not a regulatory one, the city attorney does not believe its definitions are adequate to restrict land use. The McBrides and Burgeners are objecting to the use of the adjacent home in an R-1 zone as a weekend rental. They feel this is inconsistent within a stable full time residential single family neighborhood. Staff agrees. The city attorney does not believe that the current zoning ordinance language is sufficient to regulate length of home rental. We are therefore proposing zoning ordinance amendments to the Zoning Ordinance Review Committee June 14 which will ultimately proceed to Planning Commission and City Council. The McBrides have been invited to the ZORC meeting. PHILIP DRELL DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Am (Memventals.ddol i 73-035 Amber Street Tel: 760 779-0721 Palm Desert, CA 92260 Fax: 760 340-6616 May 22, 2000 Mayor Buford Crites City of Palm Desert - 73510 Fred Waring Drive Palm Desert, CA Re: RI Non-compliance 73-015 Amber St.,Palm Desert(Canyon Cove) Dear Mayor Crites: This letter formalizes my verbal complaint by phone call May 2, 2000, to Mr.Phil Joy, Planning Department. The issues are as follows: 1. Code non-compliance by the existence of a short-term vacation rental on the southeast corner of Alamo and Amber Streets,R1 zone above referenced. "All uses not specifically permitted within Sections 25.16.020 and 25.16.030 shall be strictly prohibited within the (RI)residential district."(Section 25.16.040) The only use close might be 25.16.030A, `Boarding houses and rooming houses" which are "subject to a conditional use permit"but they would be supervised. 2. The city's non-regulatory issuance of a business license to the supposed "Property Manager" and collection of transitory occupancy tax from her the same as for a motel or hotel,definitely businesses,which encourage and endorse non-compliance. "License" should imply some sort of competency and legitimacy on behalf of the applicant to do the stated type of business. If the city uTi merely is interested in collecting fees, kindly disclose and call it a"Business c,3 E- Tax." Your lax procedures allow a non-real estate broker to be a property lm W E o manager, prohibited under Section 10130 and 10131 b of the Business and > cL- cn Professions Code, for an out-of-state residential property owner and to conduct an v S ce unaccountable business from another county by soliciting through the web and W N J valley chambers. She represents herself as being"legal." Shouldn't the city have some responsibility to its citizens to see that such an applicant is legal with the state before issuing its business license? o v 0 Mr. Joy, whose courtesies I have appreciated, informed me by phone May 18, 2000, that pursuant to city attorney recommendation, issue number one is being Mr. Buford Crites -2- May 22, 2000 referred to the zoning ordinance review committee`to get some language put into the zoning ordinance such as perhaps allowing the questionable usage with a conditional use permit which notices neighbors within 300 feet, and the process could take three or more months. Please consider that a vacation rental is a different category than a home-based business, a school, religious institution, day-care home, fire station,etc., traditionally allowable in RI zones. We purchased in this pride-of-ownership-owner-occupied neighborhood eight years ago specifically because"It is the intent of the RI district to encourage the preservation of residential neighborhoods characterized by single-family buildings...."not multi-family vacation getaways. A different zone category should be considered as in other locals. When residential owners sell, they are required by state law to complete for Buyer approval the"Real Estate Transfer Disclosure Statement"(TDS 11)which asks specifically, "Are you(Seller) aware of any of the following... 10. Any:zoning violations,nonconforming uses... 11. Neighborhood noise problems or other nuisances" Based on my 20 years of experience as a real estate broker, truthful, affirmative answers to these two questions and a close proximity can loose a Buyer or dramatically discount the value of the property. Believe me, a Buyer has no difficulty defining a "nuisance." My husband and the other closest property owners joiwine as I speak for the protection of property rights, including quiet enjoyment and preservation of value; and . the advocacy for the easily intimidated ("I don't like it,but there's nothing you can do about it.") and against short-term vacation rentals in our neighborhood.

As I assume you know there has been a controversy brewing for the past few weeks concerning my home at 73 015 Amber Street. First I would like to briefly introduce my wife and myself and then give you some further information regarding the accusations made by Suzanne McBride. Hopefully this. will help you in evaluating this controversy and understanding just what is transpiring in our neighborhood. My wife Cindy and I had been looking for months throughout the desert for a second home that we could use during the rainy months in Seattle and eventually retire to. We fell in love with the Canyon Cove neighborhood and purchased our home in November of 1997. Having two children still in college we decided that until they finished schooling we would rent out our home to help defray some of our costs. By renting out our home on a seasonal basis we would still be able to enjoy some time there ourselves. It seemed to us a perfect way to affect our grand plan of having the best of two great worlds. As our kids finished school we would be able to use our home more and more. To that end we began working with Micki Jeffries, who has a home in Silver Spur Ranch and has been handling vacation rental properties in the desert for several years. We liked the professional manner in which she conducted business and were especially pleased with the tight control she seemed to have with her properties. She has limited the number of properties she handles and this allows her to give more personal service to both the homeowners and the clients to whom she rents. We felt that all was going fairly well with this arrangement. We had talked with our immediate neighbors regarding our plans for our house and there was no opposition presented. Over the past two and a half years we did have a few specific complaints from our immediate neighbors. One concerned a pastor from Torrance who has six adopted children. They liked to play in the pool and made noise that bothered one of our neighbors. Micki contacted them and asked them to keep the kids quiet and limit their outside play to the daytime. This year when they wanted to rent our house again we deferred and they went elsewhere for their vacation. Our house was not rented during that period. The second complaint came concerning a dog that a couple had brought with them during their vacation. The dog barked one afternoon. Our neighbors contacted Micki and she immediately contacted the couple and they brought the dog inside and as far as I know there was no further noise from the dog. When Micki informed me about the problem I told her to not rent our home again to anyone who had pets with them. The final complaint that I was made aware of was with a group of women who had rented from us the previous year. Again they were enjoying the pool during the day and early evening and one of the neighbors was annoyed by the noise. They also had come at different times and therefore there were five cars parked at the house over the weekend. When contacted they were unaware that they were bothering anyone and promised to keep the noise down from that point on. The reason that I am going into such detail is to make the point that any and all complaints that we had were handled immediately. Both of our immediate neighbors were given Micki's 800-phone number and her beeper number so that if there was a problem it could be dealt with immediately. When I was made aware of the problems I took steps to make sure that the problems did not reoccur. My goal was to do all I could to insure that there was no impact on my neighbors and I felt that we were doing that. This all came to a head at the beginning of May when Suzanne McBride contacted Micki via email and informed her that she was contacting the Palm Desert planning and zoning departments concerning what she considered a violation of zoning statutes regarding the renting of our home. Micki followed up immediately and was informed that the matter was under consideration and would be dealt with by the city. Suzanne contacted her again via email a few weeks later advising her that she would formalize her complaint if she did not get a satisfactory answer from Micki. Micki replied via email and at that point I called Suzanne to try and clarify the situation. Suzanne seemed quite angry when I spoke with her. She insinuated that what we were doing with our house was operating like a hotel and that our actions were driving down the home values and ruining the neighborhood. She even suggested at one point that we really did not belong in the neighborhood and that we should sell our home and buy a condo since it was obvious that we were really condo people. I wasn't quite sure how to take that comment but it was obvious that she was very perturbed and intended to do something to change a situation that she didn't like. She was also upset with the fact that Micki did not have a real estate agent's license. That is a separate issue that is being dealt with and I don't think that it is necessary to go into that in this letter. If you want details on that I can provide them to you. What is important are the issues that Suzanne has raised regarding what we are doing with our home and how it is affecting our neighborhood. I made a trip down to the desert in May to try and deal with some of these issues and hopefully defuse the situation. It has never been my or Cindy's intent to cause any controversy or turmoil. We want to be good neighbors and enjoy the community. I spoke with Jon McBride when I came down and explained where we're coming from and what our intentions were. He told me that they didn't like the idea of weekend rentals and he felt that that was bad for the neighborhood. In the two and a half years that we have had the house we have only had six long weekend rentals. I have included a schedule of rentals and also a brief profile of the people we have been renting to. I told Jon that I would not do any more weekend rentals other than a group of golfers who were coming for the following week, to whom I had already made a commitment. I told him that we would not do any rentals of less than 30 days until we heard from the city. He indicated that that was fine with him and I felt that we parted well. When I returned and spoke with Cindy we decided that we would not do any weekend rentals regardless of the city's decision, since this seemed to be the main problem that the McBrides had with our home. I then informed Micki of our decision to discontinue the long weekend rentals. The Monday after I left, Suzanne filed her formal complaint with the city and it is my understanding that she also began contacting the surrounding neighbors to enlist support for her cause. I did not see a petition and did not hear directly what was said about us but the inference was that it was not particularly complimentary. Not knowing exactly what was being said I find it a bit hard to defend ourselves and our actions but let me try to address a couple of issues. First and foremost is the suggestion that we have brought a nuisance to the neighborhood by having short-term rentals and that we are not responsive to our neighbors. The majority of our rentals have been for a month or more. I have enclosed the rules of the house that each guest is provided with. We take a substantial deposit from each.guest and if there is a violation of the rules the deposit is forfeited. In the two and a half years we have been renting the house we have only had one instance where we had to take any action. The immediate neighbors have been provided with contact numbers so that if there is a complaint or problem they can call and get it corrected immediately. I think that we have been totally receptive whenever there has been a problem or complaint. The next contention is that having a vacation rental in our neighborhood is ruining property values. I contacted my realtor and inquired about the property valuations since we purchased our home. In reviewing the comps for our neighborhood it seems that home values have increased substantially over the past two years. When I asked about the effect of having a vacation rental in the area he informed me that this would have little or no effect on the valuation of a property. If this were a home that was being rented out for parties or college spring breaks it would be a different story. I think that we have been very responsible in our use of our home and Suzanne's contention that we are operating a nuisance is far from the actuality. This type of activity is a part of life throughout the Coachella Valley. There are hundreds of homes that are rented out to visitors who come to our community to vacation and enjoy all that the desert has to offer. Many are just like Cindy and me who visit the desert as tourists and decide to settle here and make a home. It would be wonderful to make the transition immediate but that is not always possible as in our case. We foresee spending more time in our home and renting it less over the next two years and hopefully will be in the position to not do any rentals in three or four years. Contrary to what you have heard we do not have any other vacation rentals in the desert and have no intention of making this a business. We love our home and want to enjoy it for our children and ourselves. In closing I want to thank you for taking the time to listen to our side of things. This whole thing has sneaked up on us and really thrown us for a loop. We truly want to be good neighbors and protect the community where we want to live and retire. If you have any questions or concerns that we can answer or clarify, please feel free to drop Micki Jeffries or us a note or give us a call.

He would like to see an almost non-visible integration into the sites. As he walks around and has become much more perceptive as to what doesn't look good and when he sees the backs of cars. Mr. Smith replied that they will be architecturally integrated with the rest of the building which would take care of someone putting up just a metal frame structure. In the past,ARC"has required detailing ortrim in orderto the tie the architecture into the building. Member Benson stated that if the carports were planted on the end like the carports on Deep Canyon where you go in and then turn into the carport. There is a facade in front as well as a 2-3-foot berm. Mr. Smith stated that was what was being considered in terms of perimeter landscaping and should take care of a fair amount of the visibility issue. Mr. Smith had gone over this section with Member Foxx by phone who thought it was a good solution and would encourage carport inclusion. If there were a 100- space parking lot, the ordinance says there needs to be 33 trees. If thirty-three of these parking spaces are covered with carports, technically the shade coverage requirement is met, but there will still be perimeter landscaping. Member Benson stated that where carports would have looked good and not be that visible is behind the Foxx building off of Ocotillo. They wouldn't have been noticeable and would have looked good because that block is always full. This will be going back to the City Council next week. 2. Short-term rentals in R-1 Mr. Smith reminded the Committee that about a year ago they were working on allowing short-term rentals in the R-1 district. Last October/November, staff went through one over on Sun Corral with absolutely no problem. Planning Commission approved it and the neighborhood was either uninterested or they supported it. A second one came up a fewweeks ago on Amberwhere there was huge dissension. Member Benson asked if that wasn't the location where there had been large parties out side and lots of cars. After the hearing on that one, the Planning Commission directed staff to look into amending the ordinance to preclude it totally. 2 ZONING ORDINANCE REVIEW COMMITTEE FEBRUARY 2,2001 MINUTES That was an option that had been looked at a year ago and David Erwin wasn't comfortable with that. He suggested that we go the conditional use permit route. The basic problem was that while these people for the most part didn't say it was a parking problem or noise problem, it was a problem that this was not a use that should be permitted in a high-class R-1 district. However, the City does not distinguish between high-class R-1 and other districts. Short-term is defined as less than 30 days. Less than 30 days requires a conditional use permit. While these owners had just rented over weekends, as part of this application; they only asked for minimum of one-week increments and a maximum of 12 weeks a year. The Committee felt that if they were going to rent for a weekend they should register the place as lodging. Mr. Smith stated that they do and have been for four or five years. For instance, Monterey Country Club and various gated private communities have very active over-night rental programs. There are dozens and dozens of these going on in the City. This one came up because on a couple of occasions there has been noise, parties, and guests who were less than cooperative. The application was turned down by the Planning Commission based on the community input. Which is the way the process is supposed to work, ie, for people who have no problem, it will be approved; where there has been a problem, it probably won't be approved. Again, the direction from the Planning Commission was to look at re-amending that ordinance and precluding rentals for less than 30-days in R-1 out-right. While, it is easy to do, we have only had one bad situation and one where there was no concern at all. Member Benson felt it should be in there for less than a month and taken case by case if someone complains. The ones we don't know about haven't asked and they must be doing it well because there have been no complaints. Mr. Smith summarized stating that we haven't had enough exposure to know the situation, with just one bad incident. This may be a one-event situation. 3. Commercial building height limit amendment This amendment came before this Committee as an amendment to the OP district.

Phil Drell and later, Carlos Ortega were both provided with information about the rentals in question and the owners and I trusted it would be presented before the Board. I understand that four neighbors attended the meeting, and that each had been solicited by Ms McBride, the Complainant, to sign a petition to stop the rentals of less than 30 days at this property. It was unfortunate that Jim & Cindy Ritchie, the owners and I were not aware this meeting was taking place or that Mr. Ritchie has not had an opportunity to speak with these neighbors himself. He did relate a phone conversation with the neighbors directly across the street and learned exaggerations and non-truths had been told to him as well as the other neighbors. In all truthfulness, none of these other neighbors were aware of the rental situation until Ms McBride brought her issues to their attention and, therefore, none of them had previously been troubled by any of the tenants. Mr. Ritchie will be contacting his neighbors before the July 12th meeting and provide them with correct, accurate information about the rental of his property and the caliber of persons who have vacationed there. The complete schedule of rents as well as full documentation is enclosed. Would you please see that this information is made available to those attending the July 12th Zoning Ordinance Review Meeting so this issue does not remain one-sided? If you have any further questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact me at 800-797- 8428 or the Ritchies at 360-466-4635. Their mailing address is incorrect in your records as the area in which they reside has made some changes in the subdivision. Their address is: 14320 Channel Drive, La Conner, WA 98257.

Mr. Jim Ritchie, owner of the referenced property and I were both carbon-copied on the original letter. Upon return from my vacation, on May 20, 2000, in response to the McBrides direct complaint to the Planning Department of May 2, 2000, I forwarded a complete package to Phil Drell, Planning Director outlining the circumstances involved in the vacation rental of private homes. On May 19, 2000, Mr. Ritchie met with Jon McBride and assured him that, until the City arrived at a decision, that there would be no rental of his home for less than 30 days. As this issue is before City Council, who has our full cooperation, there was no need to belabor it further. Ms McBride has had my toll-free number since Mr. Ritchie made her aware of our relationship November, 1998, but she has never phoned me or the Ritchie's during any tenancy. Last Summer, 1999, while the Ritchie's were at the Amber Street house, Ms McBride told them of Ms. Carol Burgener's complaints that some of the tenants were noisy and disruptive to her (neighbor directly behind). Mr. Ritchie spoke with Carol and learned that, in particular, Rev Jay Riley and his family of 6 children (April, 1999) were loud in the pool during the evenings and then on a recent occasion, a party appeared to be going on. In checking the dates, we had no tenants over that weekend and it was confirmed by Russ Caster, our then Pool Service he found beer bottles and cigarette butts in the pool and around the yard. This was clearly a home invasion by youths and although there were no damages, had either Ms McBride or Ms Burgener phoned me, we could've had them arrested on the spot. I did have the Palm Desert Police provide extra patrol for the next couple weeks but there was no reoccurrence. I phoned both women, reconfirmed my toll free number with Ms McBride, gave the number to Ms. Burgener as well as giving them both my pager and again asked that I be advised immediately of any problems. There is no reason either should've subjected themselves to any inconvenience and a phone call to me would've stopped any disturbance at once. Since the pool service is provided with a schedule and number of persons, he was terminated for not reporting the incident to me upon discovery. Rev Riley, who vacations with us every year, was housed elsewhere this year to not further disrupt these neighbors as children tend to be noisy when they're having fun. Since Ms Burgener's had my phone number, she's complained about every tenant that's been there and I've handled her, complaints, reasonable or not, with each tenant. Until Ms McBride's email of 4/30/00, she has not personally contacted me to discuss any of these events or any of the tenants. Mr. Ritchie is currently obtaining bids to have a block wall fence constructed along the back of the lot to replace the wood fence which will reduce any noise heard in the rear property (Burgener). He also removed the outdoor speakers last Summer after his conversation with Ms McBride. It appears the Ritchies will also have to be quiet when they stay at their own house. I'm enclosing copy of my letter to Mr. Drell as well as record of the occupancy stats to date. As you can see weekly rentals total 87 days and weekend rentals total 20 days out of the entire 29 month period of 2/1/98 thru 5/31/00. The McBrides complaint is "noise", "nuisance" and "traffic" and their personal opinion that those persons staying for less than 30 days represent a "lower class" rather than the professionals, families, retirees and relocations for whom accommodations are provided for all periods. Our guests are willing to pay a very high premium and substantial security deposit for the privilege to enjoy the privacy and comforts of a residential home, respecting that property and its neighbors as their own regardless of the length of stay. They are also bound by strict conditions set forth by Rental Agreement and House Rules with attached CC&R's. Ms McBride may have 20 years experience as a Broker, now retired, but she has no experience in vacation rentals and is not in a position to judge the competency of anyone in its practice. Neither the Cities of Palm Desert nor Palm Springs or their respective Chambers of Commerce have ever received a complaint against me from the owners, neighbors or tenants of any of the homes or condos I've represented and I can count on one hand the number of tenants who have even remotely violated the terms of their Rental Agreement. Our visitors return time and time again and don't behave in a manner that would make them unwelcome in the future. I've provided Mr. Drell with recent Desert Sun ads of local Realtors and Independents representing vacation rentals, although at this time of year is very little compared to the pages of same from October thru April for high season. May I suggest that you check out the websites of the Palm Desert and Palm Springs Visitors Bureaus as well as all local rental websites simply by entering the key words Palm Desert or Palm Springs and then Rentals where you will find many of the hundreds of private homes offered for vacation rental throughout the Desert Community. Since they are all located in private communities, I trust they are all zoned R-1. This has been a common practice from Palm Springs to LaQuinta for decades, which is how I learned of it. The very existence of the Desert as a resort community depends solely on tourism and the revenues generated from those persons who visit. The tremendous growth of all Desert Cities is a direct result and continues more and more each year, as you well know. There is no way that the all the major Realtors and Independents in this valley would deliberately violate the law which is exactly what the McBrides' complaint infers. Phil Joy, of the Planning Department advised that, to his knowledge, no.complaints of zoning violations have ever been received in this respect_ While I'm appalled at the arrogance of the complaint, the Ritchies and I offer our complete cooperation in providing any and all information you might need to assist in City Councils' decision. However, this complaint goes beyond the Ritchies', their house and my small business. The Rental Division of every major Realtor and Independent in the valley should be made aware that the practice of short term rentals is being questioned and possibly jeopardized so they may have the opportunity to offer their input. I'm confident these huge companies will have something to contribute to enlighten us on how this practice has sustained for so many, many years. In the meantime, I will copy a few of the major agents and the Palm Desert, Palm Springs and LaQuinta Chambers of which I am a member and hopefully, they can offer their suggestions. Please don't hesitate to phone anytime 1 can be of assistance in this or any other related matter.

The issues are as follows: 1. Code non-compliance by the existence of a short-term vacation rental on the southeast corner of Alamo and Amber Streets,R1 zone above referenced. "All uses not specifically permitted within Sections 25.16.020 and 25.16.030 shall be strictly prohibited within the (R1) residential district." (Section 25.16.040) The only use close might be 25.16.030A, "Boarding houses and rooming houses" which are "subject to a conditional use permit" but they would be supervised. 2. The city's non-regulatory issuance of a business license to the supposed "Property Manager" and collection of transitory occupancy tax from her the same as for a motel or hotel, definitely businesses,which encourage and endorse non-compliance. "License" should imply some sort of competency and legitimacy on behalf of the applicant to do the stated type of business. If the city � � merely is interested in collecting fees, kindly disclose and call it a"Business c� L: Tax." Your lax procedures allow a non-real estate broker to be a property W E o manager, prohibited under Section 10130 and 10131b of the Business and > 0- cn Professions Code, for an out-of-state residential property owner and to conduct an T unaccountable business from another county by soliciting through the web and w N � valley chambers. She represents herself as being"legal." Shouldn't the city have Q�Z some responsibility to its citizens to see that such an applicant is legal with the E �_ state before issuing its business license? O U C Mr. Joy, whose courtesies I have appreciated, informed me by phone May 18, 2000, that pursuant to city attorney recommendation, issue number one is being Mr. Buford Crites -2- May 22, 2000 referred to the zoning ordinance review committee to get some language put into the zoning ordinance such as perhaps allowing the questionable usage with a conditional use permit which notices neighbors within 300 feet, and the process could take three or more months. Please consider that a vacation rental is a different category than a home-based business, a school, religious institution, day-care home, fire station, etc., traditionally allowable in RI zones. We•puichased in this pride-of-ownership-owner-occupied neighborhood eight years ago specifically because "It is the intent of the RI district to encourage the preservation of residential neighborhoods characterized by single-family buildings...." not multi-family vacation getaways. A different zone category should be considered as in other locals. When residential owners sell, they are required by state law to complete for Buyer approval the "Real Estate Transfer Disclosure Statement" (TDS 11)which asks specifically, "Are you (Seller) aware of any of the following... 10. Any zoning violations, nonconforming uses... 11. Neighborhood noise problems or other nuisances" Based on my 20 years of experience as a real estate broker,truthful, affirmative answers to these two questions and a close proximity can loose a Buyer or dramatically discount the value of the property. Believe me, a Buyer has no difficulty defining a"nuisance." My husband and the other closest property owners join me as I speak for the protection of property rights, including quiet enjoyment and preservation of value, and the advocacy for the easily intimidated ("I don't like it, but there's nothing you can do about it.") and against short-term vacation rentals in our neighborhood. Other signatures are available. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.

Ms McBride contends that because the property is zoned R-1, that we are illegally permitting tenancy of less than 30 days. I understand this matter is now before the City Attorney and will be discussed at the upcoming City Council Meeting Thursday, May 25, 2000. I've been granted a Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) Permit as well as Business License )y the City, originally in 1996,copies enclosed, which require an updated list of applical,le homes and condos annually at renewal. Further, my business was audited by the City in 1997 for 1996, and determined to be in full compliance. Palm Desert has continued to accept the month of February as a full month and exempt from TOT. Taxing those occupants who have visited for decades during the month of February could result in their looking to other "sun cities" such as Palm Springs who have always set their tax structure at 28 days/month. Worse yet, they may go to Arizona or Florida! Since March, 1996, my sole-proprietor business with less than 28 homes and condos has paid the City of Palm Desert $13,197.12 thru April, 2000! Multiply that by the hundreds of agents in Palm Desert alone and consider the lost revenue should our private homes, whose rents begin at $1300/week, no longer be available for less than 30 days. My accounting records are enclosed for both Palm Desert and Palm Springs. I've just acquired a TOT permit for Indian Wells. My Rancho Mirage properties continue to rent for 30 days or longer because of CC&R requirements and I do not hold a TOT permit for that city. As a member of Palm Desert, Palm Springs and LaQuinta Chambers of Commerce, I've worked closely with other agents in the Desert Community over the years to be competitive in offering only the very best of homes and condos for short term rental, while maintaining the highest of standards in providing responsible tenants of integrity. Mr. Joy advised he would supply you with the list of TOT Permit holders in Palm Desert and I'm enclosing lists of the all Desert Chamber members and advertisers in the Desert Sun who offer both homes and condos for vacation rental. Agents not offering properties for less than 30 days have told me they don't do so because of the complications involving monthly reporting, tax payments and other required paperwork such as the enclosed Transient Occupancy Tax Exemption Form, which I must provide, signed by the tenant, for those stays over 30 days, exempting them from the tax obligation. a 6 The backbone and financial stability of our Desert is louri.sm. We build golf courses and tennis courts, country clubs, fine restaurants, theatre and entertainment for our visitors. The very people who live in the Desert now once came to us during their vacation and loved it so much they retired here. Every business has one sole purpose and that is to provide for our visitors. We have our own home in Silver Spur Ranch which is for that very purpose and we offer it for vacation rental until the day, not too far away, that we too can live there permanently. There are hundreds of private homes throughout the Desert offered for vacation rental and have been for decades. Of course, without strict guidelines, rules and regulations, there can be problems. For example, we provide full color fotosheets and absolutely do not show the property to anyone. Tenants do not even get the exact address until their security deposit and ID are received and are told they may not drive by. The last thing we want are people cruising the streets, truly bothering the neighbors. Some people will not rent without being shown and they are encouraged to look elsewhere. However, it would be arrogant to assume that those visiting us for less than 30 days are of a lower standard than people of age who can afford the time to vacation for a longer period. Our properties are occupied by families, corporate business, intimate getaways and others whose lives don't permit them away from home and business for more than a week or two. Do we command these guests, who can afford the enormous cost of a home or condo rental to stay at a hotel??? Do we assume that because they are staying for less than 30 days that the will not be responsible for the care of the property or be respectful of the neighbors? Substantial security deposits as well as current 1D are collected and I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to retain even a portion. Such behavior is not be acceptable to me or the owners and I would not conduct a business that would cause either of us such griefl I've neYeLexperienced a disgruntled neighbor until now. Those home owned by retirees who only spend high season in our desert are the ones that present the most problem. Even in the most desirable and even gated communities, vacant properties are often subject to home invasion, robberies and vandalism. We walk our dog thru our desert streets in the evenings and find so many homes, obviously vacant, with no lighting whatsoever. This is what a good neighbor should object to. I counsel all owners to have home and yard lights on sensors to give the appearance that someone is there. As our desert grows, the crime will be fast behind and we are already experiencing an alarming number of problems that are caused by the people moving into the valley, not those who are visiting. My experience with people who live on rent has not been good as they are the ones who neither respect the property or the community. Our visitors want to be welcomed back time and again. Enclosed find copies of the Rental Agreement, Liability Release and House Rules for the referenced property owned by Jim and Cindy Ritchie as well as fotosheet, property profile and rate structure. Also enclosed is a schedule of their rentals since we first began in November, 1997 and a copy of the CC&R's. While the majority of tenants at this property have been 30 days or longer, Ms. McBride and Carol Burgenan, whose home is directly behind the Ritchie's, and who have always had my toll-free number, have never brought any problems to my attention until last fall. Each and every complaint, reasonable or not, was immediately addressed. Although insulting to our tenants for the most part, they complied. Ms. Burgenan can be reached at 760-346-4581 should you have any questions of her. Ms. McBride's phone number is 760-779-0721. I'm available 24-7 to both tenants and neighbors in the event of prob! ns. Even while on vacation, I can be paged. . s Before making your decision, I urge you to contact some of the major Realtors in the Desert for their experience with private home rentals. I have to believe that every home in a private community is zoned R-1 and no one would willingly operate in violation of City codes. Mike McLean of McLean's Rentals in Palm Springs has over 175 properties and has been the major rental agent in the Desert for years. His phone number is 760-322- 2500. The enclosed Desert Sun ads feature Fred Sands, Tarbell, Remax and many other major Realtors and independents. Prior to and during high season, the page is full! There are other advertisers as well who have no licenses or permits whatsoever, which I will address in a separate enclosure. In conclusion, enforcing a law that forbids the rental of private homes for less than 30 days will cost the Desert Community millions of dollars in tax revenues and by its very existence, sends a message to these visitors, who are financially able and responsible, that they are not welcome. Impose whatever terms and conditions you wish to impose in order to control and regulate these rentals as the tenants will be more than happy to comply in order to enjoy the peace and privacy of our lovely homes. However, whatever your decision, you can be assured that we will uphold and enforce its ruling.

Section 3.28. When I first obtained my permit in 1996, one of the first questions I had was about the 28/29 days of February. Franld confirmed to me that the month of February was excepted to the rule and that guests were not liable for T.O.T. providing they checked in on 2/1 and checked out on 2/29, staying the entire month. I was audited my first year so I was sure to cover the ground for subsequent years. Now I've received your letter and know that from 1997 - 1999, I have Rental Agreements in violation of the Municipal Code! As you know, most agents are sold out for the month of February by November of the previous year. I trust your letter, a notice to begin collecting, means "as of the next contract". We currently have three (3) Rental Agreements in place for February, 2000, written and signed months ago. These agreements were written based on the confirmation I received from your office in 1996. 1 left a message for you on Thursday, 1/20/00, but did not hear back. This is an urgent matter to me and my clients and I hope to hear from you on Monday at your earliest opportunity. I also have a T.O.T. permit for Palm Springs and their Ordinance specifies Transients as 28 days or less,copy enclosed. I've also cleared with Franld the matter about cleaning and other "fees" and that they are not subject to T.O.T. as you state in your letter. Cleaning fees, as charged by our housekeeping service, appear in our Rental Agreement and we "collect" them. These fees are then paid in full to the housekeeping service as invoiced. We were cleared in our 1996 audit of "charges" as they appear on the Rental Agreement as fees we "collect" and then pay to our vendors. I'm sure other agents operate in the same manner and this needs to be clarified. Your letter intimates we can no longer do this. Our tenants want to see all charges on their Rental Agreement so there are no surprises later so we itemize everything. I certainly hope the City will reconsider this issue and observe the 28-day Transient Ruling as in the City of Palm Springs. I spent 15 years of my career in the hotel industry and the 28-day Transient Rule has always applied in this State and others. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

PALM SPRINGS ROOM TAX ORDINANCE•' (Condensed from Transient Occupancy Tax Ordinance Ch. 3.24) Before engaging in business as an Operator of a Hotel renting to Transients, a Transient Occupancy Registration Permit must be obtained. Tl,e Permit Cee is $25.00. 2. The Room Tax rate is IOZ and applies to the Hotel room rental charges, including any extras for kitchen facilities, additional furnishings, appliances, etc. 3. The Tax must be charged to the guest and may not be absorbed by the Operator. However, if the Operator willfully or negligently fails to collect the Tax, he is responsible for payment to the City. 4. The Tax applies only to Transients. A Transient is a guest who stays 28 consecutive days or less. S. If a guest stays longer than 28 consecutive days, Ice is not a Transient and no Tax may be charged. If Tax was collected or charged for the first 28 clays, it must be credited to the guest's account or refunded. 6. At the time of registration, a guest is required to sign a register or a registration card which is to be retained on the premises and available for inspection by City authorities at all times. 7. Records should be maintained of all Room Rentals and Tax charges in such form and manner that Tax returns may be readily verified by the City Auditor. These records are to be retained on the premises for a period of three(3) years. B. Transients that are exempt from the Transient Occupancy Tax include: Federal Government employees on active assignment, Federal Credit Union members conducting official business and those persons holding Diplomatic Immunity. Please check with the City's Room Tax department before exempting anyone else. 3 . Reports of Total, Exempt and Taxable room revenue and Tax are required to be filed with the City monthly. Amounts claimed as Exempt are to be itemized and explained on the Tax Return or supporting schedule. Returns are Delinquent and subject to penalty and interest charges if Not received at City Hall on or before the last working day of the month as specified on the Room Tax form.Postmarked dates do NOT have any effect on whether or not a Tax return is delinquent. The Return must be signed by the Operator or his agent. A penalty of 10% of the Tax due, or $50.00, whichever is greater, and interest at 12 per month is charged on late returns. 10. The City must be notified at least 10 days prior to the sale of a Hotel or cessation of business. 11. The Operator is not responsible for payment to the City of the amount of Room Tax included in uncollectible accounts and worthless checks. 12. Business expenses(credit card discounts, travel agents fees, etc.) are not deductible from taxable room rentals in determining the Tax due. 13. The Operator of a Transient Hotel is the custodian of City Room Tax Trust Funds and is responsible for delivery of such funds to the City. Failure to comply with any provision of the Ordinance may result in the suspension or revocation of the Operator's Permit, closure of the Hotel and other penalties. Please contact ROOM TAX DIVISION at City Hall if you have any questions, (619)323-8226. y 73-5lu Par:11 WHINING DBIVIi PALM DIISl ICI', CALIH)l<NIA 9_�6o-2578 FAX: 760 idO—o6i057 i FAX: 7C>O j�0-0574 nlio.,palm—d......, ,4 January 12, 2000 JEFFRIES & ASSOCIATES MICHELLE JEFFRIES 21225 MARJORIE AVE TORRANCE, CA 90503 Dear Operator; This letter is to clarify some issues regarding the collection of Transient Occupancy Tax in accordance with City of Palm Desert Municipal Code, Section 3.28. JI i The City has received several inquiries regarding the application of Transient Occupancy n Tax to cleaning charges. After researching the matter, it has been determined that when a guest C , is separately invoiced for cleaning charges these separate charges are not subject to Transient V Occupancy Tax. If your company is currently charging for cleaning charges, please accept this letter as a notice to cease. The City has also received several inquiries regarding the collection of Tax on guests who stay for the month of February (i.e., checking in on February 1 and checking out on February ,I /^ 28). City of Palm Desert Municipal Code, Section 3.28. defines "transient"as any person who IN i exercises occupancy for 30 consecutive calendar days or less. Therefore a person occupying a rental from February 1 through February 28 is a transient and subject to Transient Occupancy Tax. If your company is currently not taxing guests staying 28 or 29 days in February, please accept this letter as a notice to begin collecting. to As always, if you have any questions please feel free to contact my office at (760) 346- `� 0611 ext. 320.
