PUBLIC HEARINGS A. CASE NO. C/Z 06-76: City Council Initiated Prezoning of 121 Acres of Land Being Annexed to the City of Palm Desert, California, from R-1-12,000 (County) to 60 Acres of (UA) S.I., S.P. (Service Industrial) and 60 Acres of (UA) O.S. (Open Space). Mr. Paul Williams outlined the background and justification for the project. He stated that Section 25.39-6 of the Zoning Ordinance establishes two methods for zoning property about to be annexed by the City. In the first approach, the property is automatically placed in the 'S' (Study) Zone District on the date the annexation becomes effective. The Planning Commission then has not more than one year to recommend permanent zoning for the property to the City Council. The other method, which is being utilized in this case, calls for the City to pre -zone the subject site prior to its official annexation. The pre -zoning approach is considered by the staff to be appropriate in this case since the potential uses of the site are clearly defined by the General Plan. The implementation policies of the Land Use Element strongly support the continued development of Service Industrial in this area, with the only provision that the zoning of indus- trial areas match the absorption trends for industrial uses in the Coachella Valley, The staff believes there is more than enough demand at this time for additional S.I. development. The General Plan shows the Sand Dune Preserve west and north of the Light Industrial area. The subject property extends westernly halfway into the Sand Dune designation. The staff therefore is recommending that the east half of the property be zone (UA) S.I.,S.P. and the west half (UA) O.S. The pre -zoning designation - UA (Upon Annexation) is shown on the Zoning Map at this time. Once annexation is completed, the UA prefix is removed. Mr. Williams pointed out that the Planning Commission had considered this pre -zoning on November 4, 1976, and had recommended approval to the City Council by their Resolu- tion No. 190. Mr. Williams added that he had received a letter from Mr. Harry Schmidt of the City of Indian Wells had sent him a letter stating that Indian Wells had not been notified of this prezoning and requesting an extension of time so that they might be able to review it. It was noted that a letter had been sent to Mr. Schmidt but for some reason, he did not receive it. Mayor Brush declared the public hearing open. Mr. Charles Gibbs, 70673 Oroville Circle, Rancho Mirage, addressed Council expressing his strong support for this rezoning. He stated that this zoning was greatly needed in Palm Desert as there was no other land so zoned. His firm has a real need for storage space for numerous pieces of heavy equipment as well as for large tree storage. He clarified that this was not a nursery, but rather a place to keep the large trees until they were ready for planting in the various condominium developments being constructed. Mr. George Ritter, 73-889 Highway 111, Palm Desert, addressed Council opposing the rezoning in that he felt it was premature to rezone the entire acreage. He felt that only a portion of it being rezoned would be adequate. December 9, 1976 Page 3 Mr. Cliff Swanson, 45-529 Adams Street, Bermuda Dunes, addressed Council in support of Mr. Ritter's statements. He asked if it would not be more appropriate to issue a zoning variance for the amount of land required rather than rezone all of it. Mr. Harry Schmidtz, representing the City of Indian Wells, addressed Council stating that they had not received their letter advising them of this proposed prezoning. He there- fore requested that the City Council continue the matter until his Planning Commission and City Council had had an opportunity to do so. Councilman Seidler asked assuming that the Council were to approve the rezoning and assuming the applicant did ask for prezoning, what additional guidelines would he have to work under and is he fully aware of these? Paul Williams responded that the applicant must have a development plan including roads, undergrounding standards specified in the S.I. zone, etc. and all of that would have to occur before any develop- ment began. Councilman Seidler asked about the 24 hours of noise which would occur with such development, and Mr. Williams responded that those problems would be addressed as part of a development plan. Councilman Seidler asked if there was any other S.I. zoning within the City limits, and Mr. Williams advised that there was not. Mayor Brush declared the Public Hearing closed. Councilman McPherson emphasized that he would hope that in the spirit of cooperation between neighboring cities, that Council would accept Staff's recommendation to con- tinue the hearing. City Attorney, Dave Erwin, stated that if this were to be done, the Mayor should reopen the hearing. Mayor Brush declared the Public Hearing reopened. Councilman McPherson moved and Councilman Mullins seconded to continue the hearing to the meeting of January 13, 1976. Motion carried unanimously. VIII. RESOLUTIONS A. RESOLUTION NO. 76-142A- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, SETTING FORTH ITS FINDINGS AND AUTHORIZING THE DESTRUCTION OF FILES FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING & SAFETY THAT HAVE BEEN MICROFILMED. Mr. Bouman explained that this was a routine housekeeping resolution allowing the Building Department to destroy many of their bulky sets of papers that have now been microfilmed for record. Councilman McPherson moved and Councilman Seidler seconded to waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 76-142. Motion carried unanimously. B. RESOLUTION NO. 76-143 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING A REFUND OF AN OVERCHARGE OF A WEED ABATEMENT TAX LIEN AND AUTHORIZING A BUDGET TRANSFER THEREFOR. Mr. Bouman explained that this was a rather unusual situa- tion in that the citizen involved was out of the country and did not receive his notification of the need to abate the nuisance on his property. A substantial fee was involved, well in excess of $700. Under the circumstances, the Staff feels that the 25% administrative fees should be refunded. The amount involved is $138.63. Page 4 December 9, 1976 Councilman Newbrander moved and Councilman Mullins seconded to waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 76-143. Motion carried unanimously. C. RESOLUTION NO. 76-144 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, REJECTING THE BIDS FOR CONTRACT 1003, COMMUNITY PARK LIGHTING, RECEIVED ON NOVEMBER 22, 1976, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY CLERK TO READVERTISE. Mr. Bouman explained that three bids had been received for the Community Park Lighting Project in the amounts of $21,000, $16,000, and $13,000. All three bids were considerably in excess of the engineer's estimate and Staff thinks that the project should be readvertised. Mr. Cook added that in discussing this with potential bidders, they expressed the opinion that we could get lower bids. Councilman Mullins moved and Councilman McPherson seconded to waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 76-144. Motion carried unanimously. IX. ORDINANCES - For Introduction: A.

PETITION from Homeowners on Tamarisk Street, East of Desert Lily Drive Requesting Their Block Be Omitted from Any Forced Proceedings to Require Curbs and Gutters. Councilman Newbrander stated that she had requested this item be removed in that there seemed to be grave concern that citizens were being forced to put in curbs and gutters. She pointed out that this had been suggested as a voluntary solution to water problems and that at no time had the City made any announcement that it was to be manda- tory. Mr. Bouman stated that the City had also received a letter from the Palm Desert Property Owners Association requesting that the City not make the installation of curbs and gutters mandatory until a more comprehensive study could be made. He continued that one of the grants that the City had made applications for would, however, require $2,000,000 worth of curbs and gutters in various places in the City. These would not be at the property owners' expense, but people should realize that this type of installation is as much a protective measure as it is to control drainage. The protection is for the streets and the investment we have in them. People must understand that the City will find times when it is forced to put in curbs and gutters for this reason. G. LETTER from Mrs. L. W. Scannel, 73-610 Grapevine, Palm Desert, California, Protesting the Placing of Fill Dirt on the Lot Adjacent to Her Home. Mrs. L. W. Scannel addressed Council expressing strong concern over the fill dirt placed in the lot adjacent to her. She indicated that when she purchased her home, the lot next door was even with hers. Now it was at least 5 feet higher. Her concern was that with the next rain, she would have all of this dirt running through her home and yard again. Mr. Walter Curry, 73-706 Shadow Lane, Palm Desert, addressed Council supporting Mrs. Scannel's complaint. Mr. Ruston, 76-630 Grapevine, Palm Desert, addressed Council with the same concerns and supporting Mrs. Scannel. Mr. Bouman stated that the City now finds itself in some- what of a dilema in that mistakes were made in the past that we must now live with but that we must correct in the future. In many places in town, you can see where building December 9, 1976 Page 8 pads were not properly elevated, particularly on the north sides of the street, and serious drainage problems have occurred. The City is now attempting to correct this situation by requiring the elevation of building pads. However, no elevation is being required wherein a neigh- boring resident's property will be jeopardized by drainage problems. Mr. Jim Delaland, 73-702 Shadow Lane, Mr. Leo Scannel, 73-610 Grapevine, and Mr. Bill Hall, 73-335 Tamarisk, also spoke relative to the problem of elevating building pads. Mr. Bouman assured Mrs. Scannel that the City Staff would inves- tigate the situation at her home and felt that some of the Councilmembers would also take a look at the situation. XI. CONTINUING BUSINESS XII. NEW BUSINESS A. AGREEMENT WITH PALM DESERT POST for the Period of December 31, 1976, through December 31, 1977, to Act as Official Newspaper for all City Legal Advertising. Mr. Bouman reported that this was the same contract as entered into the year before with the same rates applying. He further pointed out that the Palm Desert Post was the only local newpaper. Councilman Newbrander moved and Councilman Mullins seconded to approve the Agreement and authorize the Mayor to sign. Motion carried unanimously. XIII. OLD BUSINESS A. REQUEST for Authorization for the Advertisement for Bids for Curb, Gutter, and Sidewalk Installation in the Commer- cial Area (Contract No. 1005). Mr. Bouman explained that this was a step forward in action already approved by Council wherein the curbs, gutters, and sidewalks would be installed with the property owners' cooperation. The City will have the work done and the property owners will reimburse the City. Councilman McPherson moved and Councilman Seidler seconded to adopt Resolution No. 76-146 approving the plans and specifications for Contract No. 1005 and establishing a date to receive bids. Motion carried unanimously. XIV. ORAL COMMUNICATION None XV. REPORTS AND REMARKS A. City Manager Mr. Bouman reported that a claim was hand delivered to Sacramento earlier in the week. It was filed under the Public Works Employment Act in the amount of $450,000.00 and is for reimbursement of expenditures for flood damage as well as additional monies for street improvements, etc. If the grant is approved, the City can expectiapproximately 75% of the money immediately, with the remaining 25% paid following an audit. We should know the status of the claim in 30-45 days. The $2 million curb and gutter grant application and the $5 million master drainage application are still pending but the City should be notified on the first application the week prior to Christmas.
