Diaz, ACM/Director of Community Development DATE: January 23, 1992 SUBJECT: McCallum Carnival On January 22, 1992 at a meeting with representatives of the McCallum Theatre, Palm Desert Police Department and myself, the McCallum Theatre representatives were informed that as zoning administrator I would not approve a temporary use permit for a carnival. A great deal has been said concerning previous city commitments to this event. For the record some items require clarification. On ,7uly 9, 1991 a letter was sent to the city manager requesting a meeting to discuss a fund raising carnival for the McCallum Theatre. The city manager and myself inet with Ms. Nancy Trapnell on Wednesday, July 17 at 2:00 p.m. At that meeting the carnival was discussed. At that time the city was under the impression that we had no jurisdiction in the matter. Not knowing the size of event, or realizing that it would conflict totally with the dates of the National Date Festival, no opposition was expressed at that time except for not permitting carnival employees to park their trailers for ten days on Magnesia Falls Drive (this is prohibited) . We did ask that we be kept involved in the process. A subsequent letter was received dated July 19, 1991 where the city was thanked and told that it would be kept appraised of the event ' s progress. This was the last communication received on this matter until January 21, 1992, when the city contacted the McCallum representatives. Since July 1991 it has been determined that the city has jurisdiction over non-educational events at the College of the Desert. Further, the processing of the Street Fair application and its growth has necessitated specific conditions including on-street parking restrictions to accommodate the weekend traffic generated by this weekly event. The city became aware that the carnival was going to occur from an article in the Desert Sun' s January 20th edition. On January 21 a meeting was requested; in attendance were representatives of the McCallum Theatre, Police Department, City Manager and myself. At that meeting information relating to projected attendance was requested. After that meeting I received a call from Brad Hudson of Riverside County' s Administrative Office and informed for the first time, by anyone, of the county' s (National Date Festival ) concerns. I questioned • CITY MANAGER/CITY CO'"TCIL � MCCALLUM CARNIVAL *� ''+�' , JANUARY 23, 1992 if these concerns had been voiced to the McCallum and was informed that they were, and received copies of letters dated December 18, 1991 . On January 22, 19�2 at the meeting mentioned at the beginning of this report, I concluded that the carnival request could not be approved for the following reasons: 1 . Such events are only permitted for a maximum of seven consecutive days--Section 25. 64.040. 2. The presence of the street fair would generated intolerable volumes of traffic and parking problems both on the campus and in the area if both events occurred simultaneously. 3. The elimination of designated street fair parking areas for erection of the carnival facilities would violate the conditional use permit granted for that event. 4. The sheriff' s department would have undue difficulty in providing necessary manpower to secure the event because of its commitments to concurrent National Date Festival operations. 5. The potential conflicts with student parking and evening events at the McCallum could negatively impact city streets and neighborhoods. It is unfortunate that the city has been placed in the position of playing the "heavy. " However, there are serious concerns which prevent this department ' s authorization of this event. �� . `---_- MON A.

They also will hire as many uniformed security as needed to direct traffic, etc. The exact number needed will not be known, until the carnival is underway. The Carnival lot will be fenced and lighted. The McCallum Theatre is hiring additional parking lot/valet attendants during the Carnival event to assist with theatregoers and carnivalgoers. 3 . Games. . .There will be approximately 30 games at the Carnival. Mr. Davis will be happy to remove or change any games that the Sheriff ' s Department feels are not appropriate. They have planned to bring the games that are most family-oriented, since that is the theme of this carnival. 4 . Nature of the McCallum Theatre Carnival. . .a family-style carnival featuring 30 of the Carnival Time Show' s best rides from around the world. . . 18 main rides, 16 kiddie rides. . . featuring a one-of-a-kind million dollar ferris wheel made in Italy, a grand carousel that is a museum piece of famous carousel horses - both of these rides have been presented less than 5 times.
