V. NEW BUSINESS
A. MILLENNIUM VILLAGE MASTER PLAN: PROPOSED LAND
EXCHANGE
Ryan Stendell provided a brief update regarding acres near Portola and
110. Mr. Stendell stated that a development team had returned 3 of the 37
acres that would go towards the Portola and 110 interchange, and
entertain a land swap of the acres. It will have connectivity to the Mid
Valley Parkway. Staff explained that the land swap would benefit the city
by trading valuable commercial lands for interior park space, which would
be a more appropriate location for a park.
Mr. Kalman inquired in regards to what the projection time was for the
overpass. Mr. Stendell stated that it would be about 5 years.
Commissioner Dawson inquired about the mid valley bike path, and what
the projection on that is. It was made clear that, that was an
undetermined projection on that project, because of the partial railroad,
partial private property, and partial city owned land. Randy Guyer,
expressed his concern in regards to the value on the acres, Vice Chair
Deborah Hall, asked if there are funds for this project and if this project
will in fact be up within the 5 year projection that was stated to Mr.
Kalman. Chairman Rodriguez asked if there was any sense, visually, and
what this will project to the 110 corridor. Chairman Rodriguez also asked if
there is some sort of invitation to this project for Palm Desert, or will it be
hidden from the interstate. Commissioner Kelly feels that a park would be
more valuable in the land swap. In terms of access to this proposed park,
Commissioner Housken questioned the accessibility. Would there be two
parking situations, she senses that if it's a regional park, there should be
an easy visual access to it. Commissioner Housken also inquired on how
much the city is giving up for that long strip of land along the railroad.

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
APPROVED MINUTES November 4, 2014
It was noted that the appraisal for this project would be available within a
total of five weeks. Chairman Rodriguez would like more information on
this project, with a bit more of an analysis that shows how retail will be
good for this project, before the Commission can begin to approve it.
Upon a motion from Vice Chair Deborah Hall, second by Chairman Rodriguez
and 6-0 vote of the Commission, the item was continued.
VI. CONTINUED BUSINESS
A. SPONSORSHIP / NAMING POLICY
Ryan Stendell stated that there were some proposed changes in regards
to endowments, and short term policies. As Commissioner Housken
stated in the last meeting, there will be a morality clause to that affect.
However, Commissioner Housken did not agree with the issue on
accepting a donation and changing the naming policy.
Upon a motion from Vice Chair Deborah Hall, second by Chairman
Rodriguez and 5-1 vote of the Commission, with Commissioner Housken opposing, the
item was approved as presented.

VIII. PRESENTATIONS AND UPDATES
A. Y BE FIT CHALLENGE
The YMCA hosted the event with over 750 people who turned out for the
challenge. The event had great press and publication; it made the
newspaper and our local news, overall it was a great success. Rob
Ballew was content that the city partnered with the YMCA for this event.
The event was well organized from all aspects.

C. PALM DESERT AQUATIC CENTER
Karen Creasy stated that the Aquatic Center did great with the Y Be Fit
Challenge. The Aquatic Center has also added some aerobic classes,
and also added an MS class. Randy Guyer asked how the Aquatic
Center can host programs at night, in relations to the MS program that
was newly added. The numbers are doing great and are up for the
Aquatic Center. Karen also mentioned that Xavier High School won the
DVL Water Polo division. On that note, Karen went on a pool tour in
Pasadena, La Mirada which is at a 110 percent return, and to Irvine; she
also got to see a great competition at the Irvine location. She feels that
going to and seeing all those locations was great because they all had
components like the PDAC has to offer. Karen mentioned that the CTS is
up and running and is being used. Karen also mentioned that there will
be three new colleges coming to the PDAC, two of which will be from
Canada and Idaho.
D. FAMILY YMCA OF THE DESERT
Rob Ballew stated that the Golf Cart Parade's 50th Anniversary had a
remarkable turn out, with a total of 113 floats this year. He did mention
that it was difficult to know the exact number of people that attended the
event. However, he would like for some time in the future to be able to
get the exact number of people attending the Golf Cart Parade.
Commissioner Jutovsky mentioned she liked that people were already
lining up at 6:30 AM to set up for the parade.
E. DESERT RECREATION DISTRICT
Kevin Kalman stated that the recruitment for the First Tee has seen a lot
of strong candidates. January 31, 2015 will be the grand reopening,
followed by a big celebration. Kevin also mentioned that the Springs
Club has generated $240,000. The Springs Club Education Center
classrooms will be named as well as another private family foundation
which will be donating and will be acknowledged in the naming process.
Brenda Nutcher, provided the Commission with the Library Cooking
Series handout. There will be a first annual, Coachella Valley Get
Moving Day event with the American Heart Association on Wednesday,
November 5th, 2014 at the Desert Recreation District in Palm Desert. The

back, or wine reception area.

PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION REPORT
SUBJECT: Freedom Park Skate/Bike Area
SUBMITTED BY: Ryan Stendell, Senior Management Analyst
DATE: January 13, 2015
Staff has recently received a safety claim (relating to summer time heat) regarding the
equipment located at Freedom Park that was installed during the construction of the
park. In reviewing the equipment (photos below) many staff indicates that this area is
underutilized. The original design of Freedom Park created a blank slate for this area
and installed some modular equipment which could be changed over time. The size of
the area is somewhat limited which may be part of the problem as well.
Staff thought this could be a good opportunity to discuss possible changes to the use of
this area. Staff will have additional large format pictures at the meeting for discussion.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION REPORT
SUBJECT: Follow-up: Millennium Village Master Plan
SUBMITTED BY: Ryan Stendell, Senior Management Analyst
DATE: January 13, 2015
At the November 2014 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, staff presented a
proposed master planned community between Portola Avenue and Cook Street bound
by Gerald Ford and Interstate 10. Staff has attached a memo from the City's Community
Development Department (Planning) which outlines the results of the appraisal, as well
as the information provided at the November meeting for reference.
Since the November meeting, the Finance Department and staff have analyzed the
potential impacts of the land exchange with the following results.
Retail @ Portola & 1-10: Staff has reviewed examples of retail developments
within the City and estimates gross sales on this site at approximately
$1,500,000 per acre. The City's share of sales tax is 1% of the total annual sales
on the property. The proposed Master Plan indicates 16.6 acres at the Portola/I-
10 interchange, which could generate approximately $25,000,000 annually. This
would generate approximately $250,000 to the City's General Fund annually.
Actual amounts may vary, center-to-center, based upon the amount of restaurant
space and strength of anchor tenants.
Park Space: The park site will remain an expense whether it is located at the
corner of Portola Avenue & 1-10, or the interior location shown on the site map of
the proposed master planned project. One of the goals of this park is to
incorporate revenue generating features, however, staff has never anticipated a
significant cost recovery. Expenses for the future park are broken into several
categories: contract maintenance, contracted operations, and utilities. The
estimated annual expenses of this facility would be roughly $200,000.00.
Staff is supportive of the proposed Master Plan due to the centrally placed park
contiguous with newly created residential units, as well as the benefit of creating
freeway adjacent retail zoning. The City of Palm Desert thrives on its Sales Tax (37%)
and Transient Occupancy Tax (19%) collections as its major source of revenue. Park
maintenance is paid for by the General Fund and we believe bolstering sales tax
collections is likely the best way to ensure adequate funding to all essential services.

t`..... ��' MEMORANDUM
y,N 973
To: Ryan Stendell, Senior Management Analyst
From: Eric Ceja, Associate Planner
Date: January 6, 2015
Subject: The Millennium Master Plan — Land Appraisals
The Community Development Department (CDD) is processing a Master Plan
document for the development of 152 acres north of Gerald Ford Drive, between
Technology Drive and Portola Avenue. Part of the proposal involves a lands swap with
the developer for 37 acres of City own property at the northeast corner of Portola
Avenue and Dinah Shore Drive for 37 acres of developer owned property at the
northeast corner of Gerald Ford Drive and Dinah Shore Drive and 3 acres for the future
Portola Avenue interchange. To initiate the land swap process the CDD obtained an
appraisal for both properties.
The appraisal, which was completed on December 11, 2014, by Lidgard and
Associates, appraised the City owned parcels and the developer owned parcels at
equal values ($2,825,000). Lidgard used a methodology consistent with industry
standards, and looked at each property's highest and best use under current zoning.
Currently, both properties are zoned as Planned Community Development (PCD) and
have a Business Park designation in the City's General Plan. Having similar values,
staff remains supportive of the proposed land swap as the City will receive additional
benefits such as an increase in sales tax. This property is ideally situated with freeway
frontage and visibility and is proposed to be rezoned for commercial development.
If you have any questions, please contact me at extension 384.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION REPORT
SUBJECT: Millennium Village Master Plan: Proposed Land Exchange
SUBMITTED BY: Ryan Stendell, Senior Management Analyst
DATE: November 4, 2014
BACKGROUND
Staff has been working for several months with a development team who has
purchased all privately owned lands between Portola Avenue and Cook Street, north of
Gerald Ford Drive (see attached maps). The City owns approximately 37 acres in this
area which has been planned for a 27-acre regional park and 10-acre affordable
housing project. The development team approached the City several months ago with a
master plan for this area which could include residential, commercial, potential hotel,
and business park uses.
The development team inquired if the City would be willing to entertain a potential land
exchange to locate the park/housing project to the center of the planning area and
closer to residential uses. This would also allow for a freeway oriented commercial
center to be located near the eventual Portola/I-10 Interchange. Staff met internally
many times to discuss this concept and all support the land exchange for a number of
reasons.
We've indicated to the development team that City staff would recommend a land
exchange under several conditions which are included in the development agreement
for the project. Below are the deal points related to the park site:
1. City would only exchange if the city receives net 37-acres of park/housing
space. Lands dedicated to the 1-10 interchange would come from the
developer's gross acreage not the City's (approx. 3.5-acres).
2. Although the proposed land use map shows a layout for Planning Areas 9 &
10, the City reserves the right to alter later if we so desire. This is important
as we master plan the future park and adjoining residential housing
development.
3. City agrees to place CVWD well site on the park lands, which is standard and
was anticipated.
4. City has agreed to allow the park to assist with regional drainage, which
should only impact the park during a major storm. This would be similar to the
Freedom Park Soccer Field or Soccer Park which both operate as regional
retention/drainage systems.
Millennium Village Master Plan
November 4, 2014
Page 2 of 2
Staff does believe that this proposed master plan and land exchange is beneficial to the
City. In reviewing land uses, it is important to consider impacts to the City's General
Fund. In this case, adding a freeway commercial corridor along Portola Avenue to offset
expenses created by new residential units is a benefit. At the same time, locating the
park nearest to the newly created residential zones seemingly is also a benefit. Staff
has had the proposed master plan reviewed by a financial consultant and will not have a
negative effect on the City's General Fund.
Staff is recommending that the Commission approve a recommendation of approval to
the City Council of the potential land exchange.
