RESOLUTION NO. 85-66 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE 1984-85 BUDGET TO PROVIDE APPROPRIATIONS FOR TRANSFERS TO CAPITAL PROJECT RESERVE FUNDS.

RESOLUTION NO. 85-68 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE 1984-85 BUDGET TO PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS TO CERTAIN ACCOUNTS. Mr. Altman stated that Resolutions 85-66, 67, and 68 implemented actions taken when Council adopted the budget. He recommended adoption of all three. Upon motion by Jackson, second by Benson, Resolution Nos. 85-66, 85-67, and 85-68 were adopted by unanimous vote of the Councilmembers present. D. RESOLUTION NO. 85-69 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, DENYING AN AMENDMENT TO PERMIT A 1,500 SQUARE FOOT EXPANSION AND DELETION OF A NET 11 PARKING SPACES TO THE FORMER TULLIO'S RESTAURANT. CASE NO. CUP 03-82 AMENDMENT. Mr. Diaz reported that the staff concerns with this CUP application had been indicated in the reports to the Planning Commission and City Council. The Council was aware of potential impacts on the commercial community as well as the feeling of that community when the action was taken to deny the application. When staff made its recommendation, a balance between what will be and what exists was considered. He noted that an alternative to denying the request might be to allow the applicant, as per his suggestion, to enter into an agreement to partake in any parking assessment district created in the future. However, he felt the problem in that would be that one -5- MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 27, 1985 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * individual cannot create a district and carry the whole load if other property owners refuse to partake. He suggested a second alternative as a condition of approval that would stipulate that if parking became a problem as a result of the approval of this application, the applicant would agree to limit his hours of operation to evening hours only or 5 p.m. on. That way, the City would be in a position to correct the problem. He noted that the people who would identify that a problem did exist would be the other merchants in the area. Mayor Snyder stated that he had called this item up for consideration because he felt an obligation to search for proper alternatives. He said he had not backed away from his original position of concern about the overall parking situation in the City. He noted that the Galleria on El Paseo was required to buy extra property to provide required parking when it was approved and that the proposed Don Drysdale restaurant had been refused because of inadequate parking. Fairness to all had to be considered. MR. LYMAN MARTIN, 15C Sandpiper, spoke as the applicant. He said there were currently enough parking spaces and no more studies were needed. He urged Council's approval without condition as he stated he would not agree to evening hours only inasmuch as his prices were already established and based on being open for lunch and dinner. He said the building was over 30 years old and that he was putting $500,000 into it in improvements. He was asking for 5.8% of the spaces to be deleted or 35 of 606 that were not utilized now. He felt people would park a block away, shop along El Paseo, and walk to his restaurant. In conclusion, he presented letters from Tuverson & Co, Signatures, Carl Martin's Desert Shop for Men, Troutman Imports, Jeanne Hansen Jewelry, and Mr. Music, all businesses on El Paseo and in support of the request (attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "B"). MR. GEORGE BERKEY, 73-625 Joshua Street, Palm Desert, read a letter of support of the request from the Palm Desert Chamber of Commerce (attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "B"). Councilmember Jackson stated she did not feel a parking problem existed and that it would be some time before one would. Ample time was available to work out solutions. She noted that better than 80% of the merchants in that area were in favor of this new business as a way to attract business to them. Councilman Wilson concurred with Ms. Jackson relative to the existing status but concerned about future parking. He asked the City Attorney if there was any way to get the property owners to sign agreement for a district now. Mr. Erwin responded that there was that potential but he would be unsure about how many would sign one without knowing more about the district and how much cost they would be agreeing to. MR. OOP WILLARD, 73-847 Highway 111, spoke as an adjacent property owner, Palm Desert Florists, stating that parking was not a problem now nor would it ever be. A representative of Neil's Apparel spoke in favor and stating his business had been there for 15 years and there had never been a parking problem. Councilmember Jackson stated she felt that approval, with the condition that lunch hours be restricted if a problem surfaces, was a good one. Councilmember Benson agreed. Councilman Wilson agreed stating that if the applicant didn't agree, he did not have to proceed with his project. If he did agree, he could move ahead. Councilman Wilson moved to reconsider the City Council's action at its last meeting denying the amendment to the Conditional Use Permit. Councilmember Benson seconded the motion. Motion carried by unanimous vote of the Councilmembers present. Councilman Wilson moved to direct staff to prepare a resolution of approval of the Conditional Use Permit with the condition that hours be cut back to evening only at such time it is determined that adequate parking is not available as well as all previous -6- MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING 1UNE 27, 1985 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * conditions set forth in the Planning Commission's approval. Councilmember Jackson seconded the motion, and the motion carried by unanimous vote of the Councilmembers present. X. ORDINANCES For Introduction: None For Adoption: A. ORDINANCE NO. 422 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT, MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 25.68. CASE NO. ZOA 84-3.

CONTINUED BUSINESS None XIV. OLD BUSINESS A. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH WESTERN COMMUNITY DEVELOPERS FOR MORTGAGE REVENUE BOND PROGRAM. Mr. Altman reported that Council had been briefed on this in Study Session and that he would answer any questions. Councilmember Jackson moved to waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 85-70 and to approve the Agreement and authorize the Mayor to execute same. Councilman Wilson seconded the motion, and it carried by unanimous vote of the Councilmembers present. XV. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - 8 XVI. MR. ED CAPLAN, Palm Springs, requested Council's consideration of an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to allow for recreation vehicle parks in the City. Mayor Snyder, upon question to staff, advised that this item was scheduled for the July 1lth agenda, and it might be improper to discuss it now. REPORTS AND REMARKS A.

Not only is it important that each day counts, but we need to understand what went on before us. Americans do this by visiting historical shrines located throughout the country. I feel that these shrines are a very important part of our lives. They remind us of why we are here and how we got here. If the patriots hadn't fought for our freedom, I would not be able to write this essay, nor be able to enjoy life as I know it. We have so much to be thankful for. Recently, I had the oppertunity to visit the new Freedom Shrine in the Palm Desert City Hall. It's a very comprehensive display of important events of our history. One of the documents I saw was Andrew Jackson's Letter Describing the Battle of New Orleans. I believe war at any time is a senseless loss of life but after reading this document, I now have a little better understanding of what people before us went through to secure our freedom. Although I found this particular document placed rather low on the wall, the documents in general are presented in an attractive setting. The Shrine is located in the City Council Chamber andconsists of approximately 21 documents. I hope that many people have the oppertunity to visit City Hall and the new Freedom Shrine. JENNIFER L.

We are happy to see that you have, indeed, initiated a Parking Study Committee and we do, at this time, reiterate our willingness to aid and abet your efforts. Recently, we were handed a copy of a Parking Study concluded by the Staff of the Redevelopment Agency of our City. It indicates that our current parking space supply is consistant with the City's present standard. In most areas the supply is actually shown to be considerably greater than the demand, thus our concern is largely looking to the future. We do not wish to impede desireable development and we do believe that current should be considered in the light of current, available information. Sincerely, George Berkey, Vice P'resident Civic A fairs -16- C�
