REQUEST F6R OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS CITY COUNCIL BY MICHALE KWAIT RELATIVE TO THE COLLEGE OF THE DESERT STREET FAIR. MR. MICHAEL KWAIT addressed the Council relative to the street fair at College of the Desert. He read a prepared statement relative to the court case ruling that a college swap meet in the City of Santa Ana was illegal (attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "B"). He said he felt the College of the Desert Swap Meet was illegal and violated the zoning codes of the City of Palm Desert, specifically Section 25.28.140which prohibited outdoor selling in Palm Desert. He asked why, if the City had no jurisdiction over the College and the Swap Meet, the vendors were required to obtain a City of Palm Desert business license. Mayor Snyder stated that this was something that had drawn considerable attention for some time and that the City Attorney would be asked to prepare a report on the entire matter. He asked the President of College of the Desert for his input. DR. DAVID GEORGE, President of College of the Desert, home address 73-230 Calliandra, Palm Desert, stated he was not prepared to address the correctness of statements raised; however, he noted that the attorney representing College of the Desert also represented the college referred to by Mr. Kwait. He said the street fair had been running for eight years without any charges being raised, and he felt there was some element of longevity and precedence in this matter. He added that the street fair provided a substantial margin of financial flexibility and supplemented income received from the State. He said if a lawsuit is filed and succeeds in the court system, loss of that revenue source would substantially damage the ability of the College to perform at the level that most of the citizens in the Valley desire. Legal considerations aside, he said he felt the swap meet was a boom to the overall retail strength of the area. 5 MINUTES REGULAR PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 14, 1991 . . * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * NOTE: THIS ITEM WAS DISCUSSED AGAIN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 7:00 P.M. PORTION OF THE AGENDA UNDER ORAL COMMUNICATIONS. B. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: 1. Palmer CableVision Update. Mr. Ortega stated that staff would have a full report to Council at the next meeting. 2. Update on Tri-Cities Sports Facility. Mr. Diaz reported that he had met that day with a top outdoor lighting expert, Musco Lighting, and was impressed with the suggestions for mitigating some of the concerns. With regard to materials to do a demonstration for adjacent property owners, he said the firm had indicated it could have something ready in two to three weeks. As far as design of the fields, he said the consultant had made some changes to help resolve concerns about glare from the lights, and he said he would have drawings and a report for the Council at the next meeting. He noted that the Parks & Recreation Commission had expressed concern with the fact that the dates for baseball season had been moved up from what they used to be and that staff would be looking into this matter. 3. Hovley Lane Ordinance 416 Improvements. Mr. Folkers noted there was a memorandum in the packets and stated that as of this date the contractor was working on the site to eliminate the conflicts with the existing water lines and sewer lines that are being put in. Upon question by Councilman Snyder, Mr. Folkers responded that staff was hopeful that the entire project would be completed by the middle of April. 4. Status of Cahuilla Hills Park. Mr. Ortega noted the memorandum in the packets and stated that Administrative Assistant Ray Janes was working on this issue. Councilman Crites suggested looking at different types of shade structures and expressed concern with the use of soft pine because of the possibility of people carving on the wood. He said the structures they had seen in Arizona were made of concrete, which would be more permanent than the wood. 6 MINUTES REGULAR PALM DESERT .__ITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 14, 1991 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Councilman Wilson stated that a letter had been received from Mr. Del Gagnon relative to the name of the park. He felt this should be looked into before any new signs are made up. 5. Art -In -Public Places Fee. Mr. Altman stated that he had asked Mr. Diaz to prepare the memorandum in the packets covering the history of this fee. With regard to the first paragraph of the memorandum, Councilman Wilson asked who had raised questions concerning the fee. Councilman Crites responded that members of the Public Art Committee had asked him questions, and he had asked Mr. Diaz to look into what other cities were doing. He said one of the issues was whether the fee should be tied to the CPI increase. Another question came from a developer who had a very small project and was required to pay $50,000; even if his project was ten times larger, the same fee would apply, and the developer wanted to know why the limit was set the way it was. He said that in reading the report, it may be that a project the size of the Palm Desert Town Center or Ahmanson should be subject to a different fee. Councilman Kelly addressed the CPI issue. He said the Art -in -Public -Places fee was based on the value of the project; as the CPI goes up, the cost of the project goes up, and the AIPP fee goes up accordingly. He added that he could see no reason to change this item. With regard to the other issue raised, he felt perhaps it should be changed so that a project under a certain size would contribute a reduced amount. He stated he felt the current system was excellent and that he would be reluctant to tamper with it. Mr. Altman stated that no action was necessary unless Council wished to direct staff to take some action. Councilman Wilson agreed that the system should not be tampered with and felt it should be kept the way it is and monitored for the next several years to see if change is warranted. Council concurred. XI. CONTINUED BUSINESS None 7 MINUTES REGULAR PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 14, 1991 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * XII.

Councilman Kelly reported that Tuesday morning he had attended a County Board of Supervisors meeting and accepted a resolution on behalf of the City Council commending the City of Palm Desert for its work in recycling, specifically the Ahmanson project where over 80% of the demolition was recycled. 2. Councilman Wilson commended staff for the quick action taken to open up Cook Street, which had been washed out by the recent storm. 3. Councilman Wilson stated that a report had been given at the RCTC meeting regarding the study being done on the rail system to link the Coachella Valley with the Los Angeles area. He said four sites had been picked for stations, and he asked that staff look into the possibility of including access for a rail station when moving forward with interchange improvements at Cook Street, Monterey, and Washington. He felt it would benefit the residents to have the train stopping in Palm Desert. 8 MINUTES REGULAR PALM DESERT TTY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 14, 1991 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 4.

PUBLIC HEARINGS A. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A PLAN OF DESIGN FOR THE IRONWOOD PARK AND CERTIFYING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. Mr. Diaz reviewed the staff report, noting that the Planning Commission and Parks & Recreation Commission had reviewed the plan for the design of the Ironwood Park and recommended it be implemented. He stated that one of the issues discussed was restroom facilities, and it was decided that a restroom should be placed in this park. With regard to parking, it was felt the parking on the site should be placed in such a manner as to discourage people from parking on adjacent streets and encourage them to park on the site. He reviewed the issues dealing with noise, access, privacy, and impact from outsiders, noting that this would be a passive park with no organized sports activities. He said it would be an open area for picnics and family gatherings. He added that staff recommended approval of the plan and adoption of the resolution. Mayor Snyder declared the public hearing open and invited testimony in FAVOR of this plan. The following people spoke: MR. RANDALL WHITE, 73-186 Somera Road, commended staff and the Planning 'Commission for their work on this park. He said although there were still some people against the park, he felt the majority of residents were in favor of having the park built as soon as possible. MS. DONNA PEAT, 73-185 Somera Road. MS. BETSY WHITE, 73-186 Somera Road. MS. DANIELLE BIXBY, 47-825 Sun Corral Trail. MRS. HARRY NUDD, 73-409 Little Bend Trail, said she was in favor of this park but was concerned that closing off the street would cause UPS and trash trucks to use her circular driveway to turn around. Mayor Snyder responded that Mr. Folkers would look into this matter. Mayor Snyder invited testimony in OPPOSITION to this request. MR. NEIL NEUMANN, 73-280 Buckboard Trail, said he was in favor of the park but felt the actual design should be tabled until issues of electricity, water, sewer, etc. are resolved. He felt if the park were built as planned, various service trucks, such as Southern California Edison, would not be able to get in and out of the area. Mr. Altman responded that the detailed plans would include utility placement, sewers, etc. He said this request was to approve the general concept of the park; the next step 11 MINUTES REGULAR PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 14, 1991 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * is to get the engineers to do formal plans, and he said Mr. Neumann's input would be most welcome. Mr. Diaz added that the City had a very good working relationship with all the utility companies. He said this park would be designed like all the other parks, using the most economical and cost effective methods to develop it and bring in the necessary utilities. He said the water, sewer, and electricity were available for the facility. He added that a state of the art irrigation system would be used to ensure a minimum of water usage in terms of the turf area. Mayor Snyder declared the public hearing closed, Councilman Crites moved to, by Minute Motion, affirm the recommendation of the Planning Commission and waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 91-37, adopting the Ironwood Park Plan and certifying a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact therefore, noting that the issues raised by Mr. Newmann were the types of issues that will be addressed by the site plan. Motion was seconded by Wilson and carried by unanimous vote of the Council. XIX. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - D None XX.

Since this ordinance deals only with tanks, it is recommended that we pass this ordinance intact. The issue of containers, that being quantities less than 60 gallons, shall be addressed in a separate ordinance soon to follow. Your existing use of such individual containers in quantities less than 60 gallons each within the city will be permissible under the old existing ordinance, and also the new ordinance dealing with tanks. A second ordinance would clarify the minimum requirements of the Uniform Fire Code for dispensing out of containers as is being presently done at the Shadow Mountain Resort.

Stanfill (1988) 205 Cal.App.3d 1089,1096.)This rule applies to actions between the same parties involving pie causes of action that seek different forma of reU4 (do v. Kendall de Vally O. Co., Ltd. (1934) 220 Cal. 742, 745- 746; Gambol v. Ashe (1958) 158 Cal.App.2d 517, 522-823 (overruled on an unrelated point in Taylor v. Superior Court (1979) 24 Cs1.34 890, 900); Wilgus v. Wilson (1950) 96 Cal.App.2d 589, 596.) In the present case no final judgment has yet been en- tered. The August 10,1989, order from which Clty appealed Involved only the third and fourth causes of action dealing with CEQA. In that ruling. the lower court expressly de- clined to decide the validity of College's resolution. The July 13,1990, order decided only the resolution's msr.ite. Nonetheless, the present cue is similar to Gumbos v. Asks, supra, 158 Cal.App.2d 517. Titers, plaintiff* sued de• fendant alleging three causes of action. The trial court aus- tained a demurrer to the third count without leave to amend and a judgment of dismissal was entered. P)aintifs took an appeal from it While the appeal was pending, tries was held on the first and second causes of action resulting in a verdict for plaintiffs. SubspuenUy, a judgment was entered on those two causes of action but no appeal was taken from it Defendant moved to dismiss plaintiffs' ap- peal. The Court ofAppeal denied the motion, amended the judgment on the first and second causes of action to add a paragraph dismissing the third cause of action and. under California Rules of Court. rule 2(c). treated the appeal as timely. (Id. at pp. 523-625.) We conclude this approach is appropriate here as well The mere fact the appeal presents Issues that were not tided until July 13,1990, does not preclude use of the G boa approach since Clty challenges the merits of 1 . r court's August 10,1969, order. Accordingly, we shall a red the July13ruling toadd aparagraph grantingjudgn t for the defendants on the third and fburth causes of actlo and treat City's notice of appeal as filed Immediately ant en- try of theJuly 13 judgment (Cal. Rules otCourt. rule 2(c II "*" Section 53004 permits a school district to declare a city zoning ordinance inappl icable to a proposed use of district -. . property, unless the proposed use is for "nonclaasroom fa- cilities." The statute defines this phrase in broad terms. but does not expressly state whetherthe'use eta school dis- trict parking lot for a commercial swap meet by a third patty is a nonclauroom facility. . • •. The Legislative history of section 53094 and the scope of the "nonclauroom facilities" exception were recently considered in Clty °[Santa Cruz v. Santa Cruz Schools Bd. of Education (1989) 210 Cal.App.3d 1. There, the Court of Appeal for the Sixth District held the replacement of light- ing fixtures on a high school's athletic field could be ex- empted from a city's zoning ordinance. In so ruling, the Santa Crns court concluded the Legis- lature enacted section 53094 to "(strike] a balance ... be- tween state educational and local regulatory interests and control." (Id. at p. i<) The court explained the "nonctassroom facitiUes" exception as foUows: "Although the current law concerning which ageacls have to follow what local regulations is a tangle of prohibitions and ex- ceptions. lacking a single. arttculabls organising prtnctpte, the amendments to section 63004 do suggest a IsglslaUve conclusion that the relationship between school boards and their'nonclauroons facilities' Is not significantly dif- ferent from the relationship between other state agencies and their property, which.1n fact. could also be character- ized as'nonclassroom thc111U "end therefore.state-edu-' csUonal policy does not reasonably or logically justiticoi* tinned permlulof for school boards. to .exempt their 'nonclasuoom facilities'• from local control...As to what • 'nonclusroom facilities' are, the legislative genealogy of section 53004 Anther suggests that 'nonclassroom facili- ties' are those that are not bytbetrnature so dlrecUy orsuf- ficiently related to a school board's valve . ftanction as to distinguish it from any other local agency. •' • A 'The statute Itself confirms and helps clarity this sug- gestion by enumerating Instructive examples of 'nonclauroom facilities.' The statute lists 'warehouses, ad- ministrative buildings, (andj automotive storage and re- pair buildings(.]' These !settines have nothing directly to do with classroom activities. Rather, they are devoted com- pletely to ancillary, nonlnstructional filncUons. Thus, we perceive in section 53004 an Intention to dtatingutah be- tween instructional and support nullities. Accordtngty, we consider it reasonable and consistent with Use legislative history and purpose of settler • " t094 to Interpret 'nonclauroom faclllUes' to mean sip. Directly used for or related t- student Instructio.,. [Citation.] Moreover, this Interpretation preserves the balance In section 53004 between the state's strong interest (In) public education and the value aloes zoning controls. (Fn. omitted.]" (It at rp.74) Santa Cruz correctly resolves the tension between the Ws Interest in edueaUon and the local entity's Interest In zoning control.

In general, emphasis will reflect more of a homegrown perspective, emphasizing such things as handcrafted items, farmers' market type goods, antiques, and garage sale articles. Entertainment activities will be increased in order to promote an improved "Street Fair" atmosphere. In keeping with this shift, the following categories of merchandise will be dropped from the approved merchandise list, except as they are modified below: 1. PURSES AND LUGGAGE - dropped. (Except for those items that are handcrafted or decorated.) 2. WATCHES - dropped. Watch repair and/or sale of antique watches would be permitted. 3. JEWELRY - dropped. Jewelry repair, antique jewelry, or handmade jewelry would be permitted. 4. SUNGLASSES/READING GLASSES - dropped. USED or original decorated glasses only. 5. SILK PLANTS/TREES - dropped. Handmade silk flower baskets and centerpiece flower arrangements would be permitted. 6. ART PRINTS/PHOTOS - dropped. Original artwork and lithographs of original art by the artist and original photos would be permitted. 7. SHOES - dropped. Used shoes are permitted. 8. FURNITURE/PATIO FURNITURE - dropped. Handmade furniture and patio furniture would be permitted. 9. LUCITE ITEMS - dropped. Only USED items permitted. 10. FURS - dropped. Only used or handmade fur items will be permitted. All other groups of merchandise will be allowed (without restriction) subject only to the approval of the Alumni Association. The Alumni Association also retains the prerogative of reviewing the'merchandise mix periodically and making adjustments as may be deemed in the best interest of the Street Fair. The nature of this understanding is to produce a mutually supportable environment in .which the College of the Desert's Alumni Association is allowed to provide important financial reserves to the College of the Desert while at the same time minimizing interference with the retail interests of the central Coachella Valley. It is anticipated that this modified Street Fair, especially with its new "Fair" look, will continue to attract buyers and sellers alike. • an ordinance that bans'all outdoor meets in the city.
