ORDINANCES For Introduction: A. ORDINANCE NO. 583 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 8.40.050(A), (C-1), AND (C-2) OF THE PALM DESERT MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO RECREATIONAL VEHICLES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY (Continued from the Meetings of September 14 and September 28, 1989). Mr. Allen reviewed the staff report, noting that owners of corner lots felt the current ordinance was discriminatory In that it prohibited parking of recreational vehicles in driveways of corner lots while allowing owners of lots in the middle of the blocks to park their RV's in their driveways if they did not have room in the side or rear yards. 4 • MINUTES REGULAR PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • NOVEMBER 9, 1989 Mr. Allen also stated that the committee selected to address the issue of parking in driveways had recommended amending Section C-2 of the Municipal Code to require owners to obtain a written permit through the Architectural Review Commission in order to park their RV in a designated driveway or other City approved hard surface area in the front yard. He reviewed the recommended procedure as outlined in the staff report. MRS. MARGARET TOWNSEND, 73-150 Guadalupe, said that it had been little more than a year ago that everyone had worked together to come up with an ordinance that works well for the community as a whole. She said her RV was parked in her driveway and that It would cause a hardship for her if the ordinance were amended as recommended by staff because she had no way to screen hers. Councilman Crites asked whether the change meant that those owners allowed to park their RV's in their driveways under the current ordinance would no longer be allowed to do so unless they had a way to screen them, and Mr. Allen responded in the affirmative. Crites stated he felt in that case a public hearing should be held since this is something that takes away a right. Councilman Snyder stated that this came about because of many complaints received regarding recreational vehicles parked in driveways, some even jutting into the streets. He said the Committee members felt some attempt should be made to screen these vehicles. Councilman Kelly said he felt the intent of the ordinance was that the vehicles be screened if possible. However, . i —4t cannot be done, then the owner should go to the Architectural Review Commission for review and permit. Councilman Snyder disagreed and said the philosophy behind the change was that the recreational vehicles should not be parked In the front yards unless absolutely necessary, and If It was necessary, that they be screened. Mr. Altman suggested wording the ordinance in such a way that in the event screening of the vehicle Is not possible es determined by the Architectural Review Commission, the property owner may park the vehicle to the front yard if permission is granted from neighbors within a certain number of feet. Councilman Crites stated he understood what Mr. Altman was saying but found it hard to allow one neighbor to hold 5 MINUTES REGULAR PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 9, 1989 • a • • • • •• • • • • • • • • • • • •• •• • •• •• • a another neighbor hostage. He said he still felt this should be a public hearing. Mayor Wilson suggested continuing this matter to the next meeting in order to allow staff to provide copies of the existing ordinance as well as the changes recommended. Councilman Crites stated that the issue was whether to adopt an ordinance requiring five feet of landscaping 1-n_-order to park a recreational vehicle In the front yard. He moved to waive further reading and pass Ordinance No. All to second reading, amended to allow the Architectural Review Commission to grant exceptions in cases where planting of five feet of landscaping In existing driveways is not possible. Motion was seconded by Snyder and carried by unanimous vote of the Council. B. ORDINANCC NO. 594 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CiTY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 10.36.010 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATIVE TO ESTABLISHING NEW SPEED ZONES (MONTEREY AVENUE BETWEEN COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE AND THE CITY LIMITS). Mr. Joe Gaugush, Senior Engineer, reviewed the staff report, noting that the change should be to 50 miles per hour instead of 35 miles per hour as shown in the report. Mr. Gaugush reviewed the basis for staff's recommendation, and discussion followed relative to 50 mph vs. 55 mph on that portion of the street. Mayor Wilson said he felt 55 mph was a reasonable speed limit. Crites agreed. Councilman Kelly moved to waive further reading and pass Ordiance No. 594 to second reading, changing the speed limit to 50 mph. Motion was seconded by Benson and carried by a 3-2 vote, with Crites and Wilson voting NO. For Adoption: None IX.

Mr. Allen reviewed the staff report and recommendation, noting that the business was located at 74-478 Highway III, Space #2, and that a certificate of use was dented by the ACM/Director of Community Development because of inadequate parking and storage area for a taxicab use at that location. MR. BILL MEYERS, JR., A Valley Cabousine, stated that adequate parking and storage had been found that day at San Pascual and Alessandro. Upon question by Council, Mr. Phil Drell responded that the lot referred to by Mr. Meyers was on the other side of the Bucclno building and was an existing parking lot required by the Council when the Bucclno building was constructed. Councilman Crites stated he felt this was a different issue from that which was on the agenda, and he felt it should be continued to allow staff time to look into the situation to see If there are any problems and whether the request to use the parking lot next to the Bucclno building meets with the approval of the neighbors. Councilman Crites moved to continue this matter to the meeting of December 14, 1989, and to hold any eviction process until a decision is made by Council. Motion was seconded by Benson and carried by unanimous vote of the Council. B. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: 1. Presidents Plaza Parking Lot Reconstruction.
