Consent to certain deviations from CITY standards applicable to all of the PROJECT units as follows: (1) Total number of parking spaces: (2) Side yard setback of feet. (3) Building height of feet. (4) Private usable open space: square feet. (5) Common open space: square feet. (6) Recreation amenities shall be limited to: 3. As used herein, "Low Income" and "Moderate Income" shall refer to families or individuals whose gross annual income falls within ranges established from time-to-time by resolution of the City Council, based upon financial and demographic information received from the Department of Housing and Urban Development or its successor agency or any other appro- priate source. In the absence of a City Council resolution, the above-mentioned terms shall be as defined in the California Health and Safety Code. 4. DEVELOPER agrees to sell the AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS at the following prices: Said sale prices shall be adjustable and may be adjusted by DEVELOPER, after written consent by CITY , in February of each year until all of the AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS are initially sold in the calendar years following 1982 , by the amount by which the Cost of Living Index, All Urban Earners in the Los Angeles/ Long Beach area (1967=100) figure for December of each year starting in 1982, increases or decreases in relation to the December 1980 base year. 2. 5. Pri,.. to selling or entering into a contract to sell any AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS , the DEVELOPER shall furnish the CITY with such information pertaining to the prospective purchaser as may be reasonably required by the CITY to enable the CITY to qualify the prospective purchaser. The information shall include but not be limited to financial information in order that the CITY may confirm the Low or Moderate Income status of the prospective purchaser. For otherwise financially qualified prospective purchasers, the CITY may prefer residents of the CITY , those who work here, or former residents of the CITY who were forced to move because they could no longer afford to live here. The information submitted by the prospective purchaser shall be signed by him/her, who shall verify in writing to the CITY that the unit is being acquired for use as his/her principal place of residence. The DEVELOPER shall sell units designated as AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS only to persons who have been certified by the CITY. 6. The DEVELOPER agrees that before the time it conveys title to any AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNIT, it shall cause to be recorded a Deed Restriction controlling transfer of the unit. The Deed Restriction shall be recorded for each and every AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNIT and be in the form set forth in Exhibit B , which is attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference. The DEVELOPER shall take such measures as may be necessary to insure that each potential buyer of an AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNIT is made aware of the Deed Restriction before the buyer becomes obligated to purchase the unit, and to require the buyer to require an acknowledgement of the existence of the Deed Restriction from buyers or transferees from then on. The DEVELOPER and all buyers and transferees, initial and subsequent, shall provide written proof to the CITY of the acknowledgement of the existence of the Deed Restriction. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS shall be and remain for the term of this Agreement , affordable to Low and U4 3. 1 I ' Moderate Income persons and shall not be used, transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of in a manner which shall in any way undermine this intention. Further, it is the intention of the parties that upon the sale or transfer of the PREMISES , which is the last under the terms of that restriction and which is assumed would be at or near market value., the proceeds of the sale or transfer in excess of the amount at which the PREMISES could be sold to a person of Low or Moderate Income under this Agreement, and the restrictions , if they were to remain in effect, is to be paid to the CITY. The parties recognize that to permit the total proceeds to be paid to, and kept by, the seller, would result in a windfall to that person who was permitted to purchase the PREMISES at an affordable price and who should have had no expectation of realizing a return on his/her investment by virtue of reselling the unit free from the controls placed upon it by this Agreement and the Deed Restrictions. 7. The DEVELOPER shall not discriminate with respect to sales of any AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS on the basis of race, color, creed, sex, national origin, or age. The AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS shall be equipped in the same fashion as other units in the project. The exterior of the AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS shall be of substantially similar quality and desirability as other units in the PROJECT. The DEVELOPER shall not discri- minate between Low and Moderate Income occupants and any other occupant with respect to location and services provided or available. Depending upon the nature of the PROJECT , the AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS shall be reasonably dispersed throughout the PROJECT. The Low or Moderate Income status of any occupant shall be strictly confidential and the DEVELOPER and his successors and assigns shall not disclose to any person or entity such status or any other financial data without the prior written consent of the occupant or prospective purchaser; provided, however, the DEVELOPER or the CITY shall not be prevented from recording the appropriate documents so as to make them a part of the chain of title of the AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNIT. ,A . 11,1 1� 1\ b_.--_ z -O-I CD c O m -C' =y 3 �1 m m s D dd r r t A m '9Q n o w -+• po aw m cy3 Paz z3 > > w (D 0. 0. o �c a n v m ID M r o z c+ N y 3 � rD y l+ c* dd Cl z z IT n c(i y'1 1 1 N �• Z Z VOi z a j Z Z 1 opgfn --1 c o -s z (n 3zr 1 v O O O Z r r � fD 1n W N w Q' Z I+ -i � mm < X N (D N n O p N N 1� r• Ct w 3 ab 1 CD CD o -rdh� w Wi a p n l 0 N 3 m w ( d O CD N w 0 S � � 3 (D J+ In a) d 0 CD a ;al m c+ J m r*1 c al Q I I J I(- --+ j F aQ w qqdo A m O I j I o -4 OWD coo CDm =1 v r ➢ I, E a w mr Ln tO OD OI 4T j j [Jl 00 ACD OIa ID I A 4700 m rnJw (nm j -n m O 00 (XI N (An 4A '�OOOQf+ Arno MmN W TOO I ZO CD -Il Oi I A V A N O W IPNN 11 •+ NO W' '� I Y 01 U'I A F+ O L" In co CD O 00 O —1 CD ON'Ir+ O O D O V 1 Z r oJrn ID �o o, oo ( I 1-• v ovvowJ oow -o C� m L C O r r Cn V - N A 0 0.

Moved by Commissioner Kryder, seconded by Commissioner Downs, to adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 861, approving CUP 08-83 and VAR 02-83, subject to conditions; carried unanimously 5-0. D. Case Nos. GPA O1-83, OA 05-83, C/Z 02-83, and PP 07-83, ONE QUAIL PLACE, Applicant Request for approval of a general plan amendment, zoning ordinance amendments, change of zone, precise plan and Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact to allow the construction of 384 apartment units on approximately 17.85 acres located between Fred Waring Drive and Park View Drive, east of the Palm Valley Storm Channel. Mr. Drell in reviewing the staff report pointed out that this project would have a density of 21.5 units per acre. The applicant proposes to use tax exempt bond financing in order to reduce housing cost. This would require the applicant to provide 20% low income units as defined by the Riverside County Housing Authority. Mr. Drell stated that if a 22 unit per acre project were acceptable the proposed site plan represents an efficient design and the site is suitable. Mr. Drell concluded that if the concept as presented was an acceptable means to achieving the city's housing goals the application and associate amendments should be approved. Mr. Drell noted that a letter was received by the City of Rancho Mirage in opposition of this project because it was felt the density was too high and extreme traffic conjestion would result on, Parkview Avenue. Mr. Drell stated that both Parkview Avenue and Fred Waring Drive could accommodate any future traffic generated by development in the area. Chairman Wood opened the public hearing and, asked if the applicant wished to make a presentation. MR. DENNIS MARTIN, 73-725 El Paseo, explained that the high density would be the only way to meet the affordable housing needs together with tax exempt bond financing. He noted that if the bond financing were to become a problem he would like to work something out with the city. He requested a modification in the parking requirements; 25% to be compact spaces in order to have more green area. He requested to put a 6 foot chainlink fence with trees along the flood control channel rather than block wall. He also requested the elimination of the 3 foot high wall along Fred Waring Drive and Parkview Avenue. In addressing the City of Rancho Mirage concern for traffic on Parkview Avenue, Mr. Martin felt that once converted to four lanes the street would be able to handle the traffic generated by this project. Commissioner Crites felt that compact spaces would only create a parking problem; he was uncertain as to how they would be regulating the prohibition of large vehicles in these compact spaces. Commissioner Crites asked staff how they felt regarding the elimination of the 3 foot masonry wall along Fred Waring and Parkview. Mr. Diaz replied that the 3 foot wall would serve as a screen for parking areas from street view. Commissioner Richards asked if there would be a great difference in the monthly rent from the subsidized rents to the regular rents. Mr. Martin replied that the market rent would be lowered $11 to $13 less by the bond program. Chairman Wood asked Mr. Martin if the bond financing were not to work out what alternatives did he have. Mr. Martin stated he would finance on conventional loan. Chairman Wood asked if Mr. Martin can provide adequate regulation for the compact spaces. Mr. Martin replied affirmative. -4- MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 7, 1983 It was noted to add "or as approved by the architectural review commission" to Condition No. 7. Chairman Wood asked if anyone present wished to speak in FAVOR or OPPOSITION to the project. MR. JACK BENNETT, 2102 Areta St., Newport Beach, stated he was very much in favor of the project. Chairman Wood closed the public hearing and asked for the pleasure of the commission. Commissioner Richards was. concerned that bond financing would become a problem and noted that Mr. Martin stated in his presentation that if it did become a problem he would like to work something out with the city. He stated that it was a good project but that the free market should determine rents. He also felt that the definition for affordable housing was questionable and that this project should be binding with bond financing. Commissioner Kryder agreed with Commissioner Richards and added that it would be a serious mistake and it could not possibly be regulated in the proper manner. Commissioner Crites felt that this project would begin the process of the needed affordable housing provision. He noted that the state program already had approved the affordable housing program and felt that the definition could be properly defined. This was an opportunity for the city and/or community to provide the needs of those people who cannot otherwise afford the high cost of rent. Chairman Wood stated that the financing problem was not a planning commission matter and the commissioners should concentrate on the project itself. Commissioner Kryder felt that the project in general and the financing for it can not be separated. It was noted that Commissioners Richards and Kryder were only objectional to the bond financing but not the project as proposed. Moved by Commissioner Downs, seconded by Commissioner Crites, to adopt findings as recommended by staff; carried 3-2 (Commissioners Kryder and Richards voting NAY). Moved by Commissioner Downs, seconded by Commissioner Crites, to adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 862, recommending approval of GPA 01-83; Planning Commission Resolution No. 863, recommending approval of ZOA 05-83; Planning Commission Resolution No. 864, recommending approval of C/Z 02-83; and, Planning Commission Resolution No. 865, approving PP 07-83, subject to conditions; carried 3-2 (Commissioners Kryder and Richards voting NAY). VIII. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS Letter received from Richard H. Fromme requesting clarification on zoning requirements for car washes. Mr. Diaz informed the commission that a letter was received by Mr. Fromme stating that he had read in the paper that the Palm Desert Town Center was going to have a car wash in their facility. He was requesting a clarification on this matter being that he was told approximately five years ago that no more car would not allowed in the city. It was the consensus of the commission that a study was in order for planning commission determination.

The following corrections should -be made to Ordinance No . 341 : In the first Line of the title, the word "resolution" should be changed to "ordinance" and two-thirds of the way down the page where it says "NOW, THEREFORE", this sentence should read as follows: "NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Palm Desert, does hereby ordain as follows: " On Exhibit "B" , the Development Agreement, you should strike the last sentence in 25 . 37. 050.
