c) Miles Bates House at 73697 Santa Rosa Way (APN 627-102-024)
(Property No. 2b - LRPMP).
— Site originally purchased for affordable housing project;
although, there is a home on it that is historically significant
because of its architecture (unique patented roof feature design
by Architect Walter S. White). Great deal of interest from mid-
century modern aficionados and preservationists. To capitalize
thereon, City Council approved a $50,000 matching grant
incentive program to someone buying and restoring/preserving
the home. City has been working with its Cultural Resources
Preservation Committee, Historical Society of Palm Desert, and
Palm Springs Modernism on the project. City Historic
Designation has already been approved for the site. In
conjunction with this year's Palm Springs Modernism Week, the
Miles Bates house will be a feature, culminated with a live
auction at the University of California, Riverside - Palm Desert
Center, to get the best possible price for the property and
maximum return for the taxing entities.
