Housing Commission
Minutes April 11, 2001
V. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
A. COMMISSION REPORTS
R. Dash reported that the General Plan Committee members were invited on a tour of the
city. He shared some of the highlights during the tour.
R. Dash said that serious thought is being given to the area north of the freeway in terms
of annexation. One major problem which exists is a reserve for the preservation of the
fringe -toed lizard.
The committee members visited Desert Rose. They mentioned what a gem the project was
both in terms of the purchase and development. Afterwards, the members were taken to
Big Horn and the Regional Park.
The General Plan Committee will next be discussing water resources, air quality and
energy.
B. RPM MONTHLY STATUS REPORT (TERRY ERICKSON)
The RPM Monthly Status Report was reviewed by the Commission.
C. McLeod asked why some apartments were being rented at $675 and others at $695.
T. Erickson said that because the base rent for a one bedroom, upstairs apartment, is $675.
A higher premium of $695 is charged for a downstairs apartment because the downstairs
apartments include a patio.
R. Dash asked what relocation meant. T. Erickson said that it meant tenants that were
relocated onto the property at a reduced rate due to the Fred Waring Widening project.
Terre advised that since the Agency owns rental units, it can accommodate displaced
tenants in lieu of having to find housing elsewhere.

The commission was provided with copies of the newsletter for review.
F. HOUSING AUTHORITY PROPERTIES - FOLLOW-UP ITEMS
(TERRY ERICKSON)
A list of follow-up items was provided to the Commission for their review. T. Erickson said
that the report included items for the properties for the last 30 days. Since the typing of the
report, a schedule for the delivery of the screen doors for both Las Serenas and Catalina
has been set as May 7. Screen Mobile was contacted. They discussed the bedroom
windows. They have a screening material which cuts out between 80% to 90% of the sun's
rays. Their price to manufacture and install the screens is $72.50 per screen.
L. Ward said that the way it is set up at Las Serenas, some tenants have screening on
some of the windows while some windows have no screening. She asked why the living
room windows weren't going to have screens as the overhangs provide no protection.
T. Erickson said that they are also looking at the addition of some type of a patio which
would accommodate the livingroom.
T. Erickson said that at the last meeting there were questions asked by the subcommittee
with regard to Taos Palms regarding the installation of screen doors. She contacted
Phantom Screens. They provided her with a sample of a vanishing screen. The screen is
3
Housing Commission
Minutes April 11, 2001
an invisible screen which is the only thing compatible with french doors. Home Depot
provided the lowest bid of $525 per unit to install. The Screen Mobile was $575 per unit
plus tax and Phantom Screens was $598 per unit plus tax. The obvious concern with the
screens is the replacement cost of $600/screen if a screen is damaged. L. Sullivan asked
if one of the french doors could be converted into a stationary door with a sliding screen
door in front of the door. Charlene said that the screens could be modified. However, by
the time the doors are converted, the cost will be almost the same. L. Saindon asked if the
screens are absolutely necessary.
Discussion followed on the possible negatives of installing the screens.
Terre said that she would let the Housing Authority know that the Commission expressed
concern of the replacement cost and the safety issues involved.

Action: Motion was made by L. Sullivan and seconded by L. Saindon to forward
recommendation to the Redevelopment Agency to approve proposed Multi -
Family Improvement Program
Bryce said that the funding for the Multi -Family Improvement Program is to be obtained
from the 20% set aside funds without the use of any general funds. The program is
designed for apartment complexes that provide affordable rental housing. It will help
smaller apartment complexes (2-20 units). The amount available is $5,000 per unit up
to a maximum of $50,000. The Multi -Family Improvement Program loans will be issued
to 50% and 20% rental affordable housing units. The main emphasis of the program
is to address health and safety repairs, exterior improvements primarily consisting of
landscaping, fences and block walls, concrete driveway, re -paving parking surfaces,
and building parking structures. Secondarily, items such as new roofs and hooking up
to sewer system will be done as well. The program is designed to try to address the
needs brought up by the Code Compliance Department and by Council.
C. ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES CONTRACT - 40 ACRE SITE DEVELOPMENT
Rec: By Minute Motion:
Forward recommendation to Housing Authority to award contract to Interactive Design
Corporation for Architectural services for the 40-acre parcel

VII. CONTINUED BUSINESS
A. HOVLEY GARDENS APARTMENTS - PRESENTATION
(DAN HORN, PALM DESERT DEVELOPMENT)
Terre introduced Jean Le Duc who was representing Dan Horn of Palm Desert
Development Company who introduced the proposed 12-acre Hovley Gardens Apartments.
Terre said that staff and the developer have been working extensively to develop a site plan
based on the original concept presented to the Commission and the subcommittee. Ms.
Le Duc said that they have hit the critical phase of the project which is trying to get the
project moving through the entitlement process in order for the developer to apply for the
tax credit which is going to be the primary source of funding for the proposed affordable
multi -family rental project. She explained some of the changes which were made to the site
plan presented previously and gave a detailed discussion about the project to be known as
"Hovley Gardens". She talked about property management and the expected tenant mix.
She provided the commission with the project description.
She said that the 40-acre site is comprised of 3 elements: 1) a multi -family component
called the "Hovley Gardens"; 2) a single family component; 3) approximately 3 acres
dedicated for an expansion of the City's industrial yard. This creates some opportunities
and constraints in terms of the design.
The developer has tried to integrate the unique surrounding uses such as an industrial yard
sensitivity to single family proposed uses to the west and south as well as single family
further to the south. The reasons why the developer feels this is a good site for this
development are that it is located near: 1) an elementary school, 2) recreational facilities
3) high school. In addition, the Agency has requested that energy conservation
applications be incorporated in to the project to create a project which exemplifies energy -
efficiency. The new site plan has a north -south orientation. The previous site plan was not
oriented in an energy -conscious manner. They feel it meets the City's objectives and
provides a better layout. In terms of numbers, the project has 12 multi -family buildings
which will consist of 2 and 3 bedroom units. The perimeter units will be town homes to
interface with the single family components of the balance of the 40-acre site. All of this
component will be rental housing which will serve very low and low income families. The
C
Housing Commission
Minutes April 11, 2001
total mix will be 162: (72) 2- bedrooms, (72) 3-bedrooms and (18) 4-bedrooms. The project
is going through the City's entitlement amendment and will go before Architectural Review
Committee on April 24, 2001.
There are different concepts for single-family versus town home single-family units. The
main entrance will be off of Avenue 42. There is plenty of open space which they believe
would be an important component of the project. The project kind of evolved out of how do
you create an acceptable interface with single-family lots. The idea is why not try to create
multi -family town homes which take on an appearance of single-family housing. Some of
the elevations are being refined and they will continue to look at how to make the town
homes uniquely distinct to create a nice transition between the single family and the multi-
family units. Tot lots will be located throughout.
The developer is exploring the use of new energy -efficient technologies to exceed Title 24
requirements. Awnings and roof overhangs will be used to create shading. The developer
is looking at how to meet the City's objective while at the same time build something that
people will be able to live in. There has been some discussion about perhaps, further
down the line, providing some on -site fuel cell generation.
Palm Desert Development is a for -profit, locally -based developer of affordable housing
projects with extensive experience in the development of affordable housing. The project
will be managed by CBM. Rents on the units will vary. In terms of anticipated number of
people, if they were to apply the maximum occupancy standards, there will be 860 people
(2 per bedroom). Terre said a discussion needs to take place to encourage the developer
to use a 2 per bedroom or 2 per bedroom plus one in the living room making it 9 people for
a 4 bedroom unit. The 4 bedroom units will be the town houses. There will be one
bedroom downstairs and three bedrooms upstairs.
The developer will provide units as follows: 73 units at 45%, 81 units at 50% and 8 at 60%.
They have accommodated so that there are units targeting 45% of the median in the four
bedrooms as well as the twos and threes. The rents will range from 2 bedrooms, $443 to
$611. three bedrooms $506 to $680, four bedrooms $554 to $771. HUD has recently
released the updated income figures and the rents will be revised accordingly. J. Le Duc
showed the building elevations and pointed out the unique architecture features (curved
balconies and elements that add character). They believe that there is some type of
continuity which is achieved by the arches, the doorways, the gables on the roof, etc. They
want to create some transition between private and public space, trying to encourage
intermediary space especially to provide for the safety of children.
Housing Commission
Minutes April 11, 2001
C. McLeod inquired if any thought was given to adding a second pool. Terre said that it is
a matter of cost to the developer. Someone will have to bear the cost for the additional
pool. If not enough tax credits are obtained, the City would have to cover the cost if it is a
requirement of the development. The developer will consider adding a second pool if the
City requires them to do so. Terre said that there are children's play areas as well which
will provide more activities for the children.
Terre said that one of the other things that she wanted the commission to think about when
thinking of amenities is that the Agency has directed staff to make this project an "Energy -
efficient, award -winning project." The cost to place state-of-the-art, energy -efficient
equipment needs to be taken into consideration as it is a priority for the Council. Her guess
is that it will take several hundred thousands of dollars in order to create that type of a
project. Staff will have to balance what the Agency wants and what the cost is to make it
happen. Staff is looking at going beyond Title 24 requirements which is double -paned
windows, additional installation, natural gas and various materials which can be used.
R. Dash asked what the timeline is for the development. J. Le Duc said that the timeline
is that the project precise plan and change of zone are being presented to the Architectural
Review Committee on April 24, then it will be presented to the Planning Commission on
May 15 and the City Council on June 12. The application to the California Tax Allocation
Committee (CTA) is due on June 15 in Sacramento. L. Sullivan asked what day, after the
upcoming June date, was the next California Tax Allocation Committee's meeting going
to be held. J. Le Duc said that it has not yet been announced, but generally they meet 1-2
times a year. The tax credit process is a very competitive program based on total project
points scored by the development.
L. Sullivan asked if there is someone on staff checking with Planning to make sure that the
project does not encounter any delays. Terre said that she was handling that aspect of the
process. R. Dash inquired if staff anticipates any problems and what can be done to
remedy the problems. Terre said that the developer will set up community meetings with
adjacent homeowners to provide information and answer questions to attempt to alleviate
any neighborhood concerns. Phil Drell, the Planning Director is working closely with staff
on this project. He will be spear -heading the project through his commissions. Staff is
making every effort to meet the CTA tax deadline of June 15.

VIII. REPORTS
A. PALM VILLAGE APARTMENTS UPDATE (CHARLENE)
Request for qualifications has been sent to four architectural firms. Staff met with the
architectural firms on April 6 to discuss the project. An architectural firm has been selected
and a contract will be negotiated. Once the terms of the contract have been set, staff will
bring the contract to the Housing Commission and will request approval to proceed.
Robbins, Jorgensen, Christopher Architects is the firm that has been selected. The
architectural firm will perform architectural and engineering services. Charlene has checked
their references. L. Sullivan asked what were the deciding factors. Charlene said that the
firm was selected on a scoring system, on overall package presentation, employees on
staff, and experience in affordable housing taking into consideration the City's needs.
Charlene said that she believed that the Commission would be happy with the firm's
qualifications, however, Terre has suggested that a couple of Commission members take
a tour of the properties that the firm has designed in San Diego. L. Ward said that she
would be happy to go on the tour. L. Saindon said that once a date is set to call him to see
if he is available.
B. HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM UPDATE (BRYCE)
An update on the Home Improvement Program was distributed to the Commission. The
number of applicants has been growing and there are a fair amount of contractors which
staff is working with right now.

C. HABITAT FOR HUMANITY UPDATE
Bryce said that the work has been progressing steadily and satisfactorily over the past two
months.
D. HOUSING AUTHORITY PROPERTIES
1. ONE QUAIL LANDSCAPE RETROFIT
Terre said that the first pre -construction meeting was held with Willdan and
Associates who will be implementing the contract for the Authority. Staff also met
with Tony's Landscape Service and Kim Moon of One Quail to start to coordinate
the work and how it is going to proceed. The project is slated to be completed
in three months. The contractor feels that he can get the work done in three
months with the exception of the streams and ponds. He is asking for
consideration for an extension of the contract should it be necessary. The
project manager will coordinate closely with Kim Moon to make sure that the
residents are notified at all times of what will transpire and dates to keep the
disruptions to a minimum. Staff is waiting for bid and performance documents
from Tony's Landscaping before issuing the notice to proceed.
Staff was very impressed with Willdan and Associates' handling of the pre -
construction meeting.
2. CATALINA LANDSCAPE RETROFIT
Charlene said that Staff has presented the work to the Landscape Review
Committee and they have made some changes. The changes were made by the
Landscape Architect and staff is now ready to go out to bid. Bid opening for this
project along with the parking lot project is scheduled for May 14, 2001.

AFFORDABLE PROGRAM (TERRY ERICKSON)
The Commission reviewed and discussed the report.
E. DESERT ROSE UPDATE (TERRE)
The resales are slowing down considerably, only two are available.
RHNA
The new Census population numbers have been released. From 1990 to 2000 the city has
grown from 22,000 to 41,000. This may have an impact on the Regional Housing Needs
Assessment. This will dictate how many units are deficient in a jurisdiction and its new
construction need. Terre recently became aware, through CVAG, that CVAG and SCAG
have filed lawsuits against the Department of Housing and Community Development
challenging the RHNA production allocation. Unfortunately, one of the challenges in the
lawsuit is that they are using the 1990 Census numbers. With the new numbers our
production numbers may go up.
Discussion followed on the reason for the Stipulation and the settlement with the Western
Center.
L. Sullivan inquired about the sale of the Palm Desert Apartments. Terre said that the City
made two offers which were rejected. Consequently, the property was sold to someone
else. Terre said that she has contacted the owner of another property in the same vicinity
for purchase. She believes that they are four-plexes. L. Sullivan said that the City should
look into what the current sales market atmosphere is to make sure that the offers made
by the City are close to the market rate.
C. McLeod asked how many market renters are turned away weekly due to unavailable
units. T. Erickson said that physical traffic, probably 15-20; phone calls, approximately 100
to 150 in a week. Terre said that apartments are becoming scarce. For this reason, large
properties should be considered for purchase when possible.

COUNCIL
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
OF REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD
FROM: TERESA L. LA ROCCA, HOUSING MANAGER
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE SALE OF 42-740 REBECCA ROAD AT
FAIR MARKET VALUE
Recommendation:
1. That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 00- authorizing the Palm Desert
Redevelopment Agency to sell 42-740 Rebecca Road at Fair Market Value.
2 That the Redevelopment Agency adopt Resolution No. making a finding
that the sale price for 42-740 Rebecca Road is not less than fair market value in
accordance with highest and best use under the Redevelopment Plan for Project
Area No. 1, Amended.
Executive Summary
The Agency purchased 42-740 Rebecca Road in 1998, a dilapidated run down rental
property, for the purpose of rehabilitating and offering the property for sale at fair
market value to a lower income family.
Background:
Health and Safety Code Section 33433 requires that before any property of the Agency
is sold or leased, the conveyance must first be approved by the Redevelopment
Agency by resolution at a public hearing. The purpose of the public hearing is to
receive public testimony as prescribed by law. Notice of the time and place of public
hearing must be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the community for at
least two weeks prior to the public hearing.
G.\RDA.Diana Leal, WPDOCS,TL'STAFF. RPPRcbecca Rd`sebecca. 740. wpd
A
Fair market value has been established for the property based on either comparable
sales in the neighborhood or by certified appraisal.
On February 24, 2000, the Agency authorized a resales price of $115,000 based on
appraised value and on October 11, 2000 increased the amount of the silent second
trust deed to an amount not- to -exceed $30,000 to a qualified lower income buyer,
thereby making the home affordable to a family of below 80% of the County median
income. In exchange for the second trust deed, the buyer will execute a 30-year
affordability covenant against the property in favor of the Agency.
A family of five with an income at 77% of the County median has been identified and
qualified. The family will require the full $30,000 second trust deed in order to purchase
the home. Staff recommends approval of the sale and authorization of the $30,000
second trust deed, and authorize the Executive Director to execute all necessary
documents on the subject sale.
Funds are available in the Housing Set -aside Fund balance for second trust deed on
the sale.
Report required by Health and Safety Code Section 33433 (a) is attached hereto for
your review and information and has been available to the general public as required by
law.

with improving their properties. A specific concern was to improve the landscaping and overall
exterior appearance of multi -family properties.
Code compliance staff has identified over twenty properties that can benefit from these type of
improvements. This is the basis for staffs recommendation to implement and fund a Multi -Family

TO: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD
FROM: TERESA LA ROCCA, HOUSING MANAGER
SUBJECT: ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES CONTRACT - 40-ACRE PARCEL
RECOMMENDATION
That the Redevelopment Agency, by minute motion, approve an agreement by and
between the Agency and Interactive Design Corporation in an amount not to exceed
$37,000 for the preparation of a master site plan of the 40-acre site located between Merle
and 42Ild Street to the west of the City's Corporation Yard.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Award of a contract is necessary to provide for the creation of a master site plan for the 40-
acre site described above to include roads, single family lots, and layout of the multi -family
site proposed development. The master plan will incorporate energy design principles on
the overall 40-acre site.
Further, award of a contract will allow staff to proceed in a timely manner to move forward
in an attempt to meet deadlines for submittal of the project to the Tax Credit Allocation
Committee.
f
BACKGROUND
For approximately 2 years staff has been working with Palm Desert Development on the
creation of a 145 unit multi -family rental project on 12 of the 40-acre site to be available to
families at approximately 48% of the County median income. In order for the developer
to submit his application to the California Tax Allocation Committee for consideration of tax
credits, it is necessary to develop a site plan for the property. It is staffs recommendation
that a site plan be developed for the entire 40-acre site showing the currently proposed 12-
acre multi -family project, and a proposed site plan for the single family component that may
be considered at some time in the future.

ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES CONTRACT - 40-ACRE PARCEL
Page 2
Interactive Design Corporation is well known in the affordable housing arena as they have
designed and been a part of the construction of numerous multi -family affordable housing
projects throughout Riverside County and San Diego County. Interactive Design
Corporation will be part of a team currently working on the planning and entitlement
process for the 40-acre site in preparation for submittal of an application for general plan
amendment, change of zone and tentative parcel map to position the 12 acre site for
entitlement. Palm Desert Development along with their architects will work in conjunction
with the 40-acre team to develop an overall master site plan that will address all needs and
concerns of the City and the surrounding neighborhood.
Given Interactive Design Corporation's strength and reputation with the involvement and
creation of affordable housing units with local non-profit organizations, staff felt that they
were the most qualified to work on this project and therefore, recommend approval.
The Housing Commission will review and discuss this request at the next regularly
scheduled meeting of April 11, 2001 and their recommendation will be presented at the
Redevelopment Agency Board meeting.

First I want to express how excited I am to be working on this project. In
general we really enjoy housing, but with the added challenge of energy -
conscious design principles makes it a great experience. I think our best work
is in a collaborative effort, and I have appreciated the perspectives brought by
you, Dan Horn, Frank Gonzales, Phil Drell and Pat Conlon. I realize it must
be frustrating for you to go through the two -steps -forward -one -step -back
process. I am used to it — that's sort of the way designers work through
conflicting requirements or understandings.
In any event, I think we have made really good progress, and have a good
chance at doing something really special.
I have revised our Proposal based upon your letter to me of 26FEB01, and
our last team meeting. I would like to clarify my understanding of the services
we will provide:
I. Master Planning: As a result of the design meeting we had on
Monday, f believe we will be responsible for the overall master plan.
This will initially be prepared as a hand -drafted document at 1" = 100'
showing the roads, single family lots and layout of the multifamily site.
We would like to circulate that document for initial reactions and
comments, and if possible have a meeting. Perhaps the Gonzales
team could be connected by conference call so they do not need to
spend a whole day.
If the general scheme is acceptable, we will have the plan
xerographically enlarged to 1" = 40.' This will allow us to really
evaluate the plan in terms of dimensions of parking, streets and
buildings. At the smaller scale (1"=100') there is just too much that
cannot be evaluated accurately. During that review, we will find

areas that do not work well when looked at a larger scale, and we will
incorporate comments from the review by you, the developer, Marvin
Roos and the Gonzales team.
After we have refined the plan as best we can, we would like another
meeting with you, the developer, Marvin and Frank Gonzales to
critique it. That review can be more in depth because the plan will be
at a large enough scale that there will be few fuzzy areas.
At that point we will commit the hand -drafted document to a digitized
version and begin to construct a CADD base plan. It will be at this
stage that meetings with the housing committee, and planning
commission would take place.
This document would be prepared in collaboration with Mainiero
Smith, since they will be doing the Civil Engineering. We will be
responsible for setting the exact location of buildings and parking.
However, I believe Mainiero Smith will modify the streets some to
make them more "engineer -friendly."
2. Architectural design — single family: The emphasis at this time will be
the architectural character and elevations of the homes that might go
on the single family lots.
3. Architectural design — multi -family: I am very willing to assist with the
multi -family stuff, and can make suggestions as we go along. Of
course, the actual drawings and presentation stuff still needs to be by
Gonzales.
On the matter of the clause about the reuse of drawings at no additional cost —
I would liKe to know your concern. As it is stated, it is too general for me to feel
comfortable with.
Please review the proposal, and let me know if you have questions.

MEMORANDUM
TO: HOUSING COMMISSION
FROM: CHARLENE SUMPTER, SENIOR REHAB CONSTRUCTION SPECIALIST
DATE: APRIL 11, 2001
SUBJECT: STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS FOR ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES - 20
UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX (FORMERLY PALM VILLAGE APARTMENTS)
On April 6, 2001, a committee met to review the four Statement of Qualifications (SOQ)
received and to select the architectural and engineering firm that will design a new 20-unit
apartment complex at 73-610, 73-626 and 73-642 Santa Rosa Way (formerly the Palm Village
Apartments).
Of the four SOQs submitted, staff, through a scoring selection process, chose the Robbins
Jorgensen Christopher Architects. The committee's decision was based on the qualifications of
the firm's in-house staff and their experience in designing affordable housing apartment
complexes.
Staff is preparing a Request for Proposal to get a further understanding of the cost involved for
the designing and engineering of the 20-unit apartment complex. Additionally, staff is
requesting that a committee be formed consisting of Housing Commissioners and staff to tour
some of the apartment complexes that the firm has listed as references to determine the use of
space, design, and layout of projects that would best relate to the Palm Village Apartments.
Once a date has been established, staff will contact the members who have volunteered and
inform them of the date and time. The properties are located in the San Diego area and will
probably take up most of the day to view.

SPECIALIST
DATE: APRIL 10, 2001
SUBJECT: REQUEST APPROVAL FOR JOE PUTRINO TO INSTALL CARPORTS
AT DESERT POINTE
As part of the Housing Authority's request for follow-up items, it was noted that we
needed to get quotes on covering the four additional handicap parking spaces. I have
contacted four different companies. Two were non -responsive, and the other company
could not guarantee matching the existing carport structures. I am requesting
authorization to have Joe Putrino install the four carports and necessary lighting in the
amount of $7,635.00, since he was the contractor who originally installed the carports at
Desert Pointe.
Attached are Joe Putrino's estimate and the phone quotes I received.

BACKGROUND
The City Council expressed to staff that the City has no mechanism to assist apartment owners
with improving their properties. A specific concern was to improve the landscaping and overall
exterior appearance of multi -family properties.
Code compliance staff has identified over twenty properties that can benefit from these type of
improvements (Attached). This is the basis for staff's recommendation to implement and fund a
Multi -Family Improvement Program.

Hovley Gardens
Housing Commission Meeting
Project Description
Hovley Gardens is a 162-unit affordable housing development located between Avenue 42 and Merle Drive in Palm
Desert that will serve very low- and low-income families. The development combines "townhouse -style" four -
bedroom units with conventional multi -family buildings. The unit mix is as follows: 18 four -bedroom townhouses; 72
three -bedroom; and 72 two -bedroom units. All of the two- and three -bedroom units are provided in 12-unit buildings.
A separate manager's unit will be located over the community building at the site's entrance.
The site is approximately 12.6 acres and is located in a mixed industrial, recreational and residential area. The
development is part of a larger 40-acre Master Plan that includes single-family lots for future development. A total of
116 single-family lots are proposed; 99 for conventional single-family housing; and 17 for single-family, rental
townhomes.
In designing Hovley Gardens, special attention was given to the sensitivity of the surrounding area. The townhouse
concept was developed to create a transition from the single-family lots to the site's west and south, and the
conventional multi -family buildings. The concept also serves a functional purpose; they will accommodate the largest
families where the need for space and privacy is perhaps greatest.
Hovley Gardens' design is compatible with the desert environment. The materials and colors will include muted
desert tones and tile roofing with bold color accents on stairways and awnings. The unique balcony lay -outs,
landings and stair configurations are designed to create transitions between public and private spaces. In addition,
details such as windows, "chimneys", arches, awnings and curved balconies create an aesthetically -pleasing and
interesting design. Various design elements are incorporated into the prototype single-family house and townhomes
to bring compatibility and continuity to the multi- family and single-family components of the Master Planned area,
while also allowing for variation and tailoring for functional and aesthetic purposes.
As noted above, the units are intended to accommodate families as reflected in sizing and floorplans. The units are
sized as follows:
Four -bedroom town -houses -1350 sf
Three -bedroom units -1077 sf
Two -bedroom units - 955 sf
The units come with a range of amenities. Standard features include large, fully -equipped kitchens (refrigerator,
range/oven, microwave, dishwasher and garbage disposal), two full bathrooms, and central heating/cooling. Each of
the two- and three -bedroom units will be assigned covered parking. A garage is included in the townhouse units. A
total of 324 spaces are required on -site and the development will provide in excess of this requirement with
approximately 338 to 350 spaces.
The development is amenity -rich; providing much -needed affordable housing to Palm Desert residents in a quality,
community setting. A community building is located at the entrance and will include manager's office, laundry and
common purpose room, including kitchen and meeting room. Adjacent to the building is a pool, and active and
recreational uses, including tot lots, are located throughout the site.
