Alternative Energy/Alternative Transportation Industry Update. Mr. Shillcock reviewed the draft proposal distributed at the meeting (on file and of record in the City Clerk's Office). He noted the time line on page 4 and stated that the feasibility study was underway to compare various power sources for golf carts, with completion expected within the next 30 days.

Upon question by Mayor Wilson, he responded that the resolution adopted by the City Council relative to the alternative energy industry would be included as part of the packet being put together for Washington. He added that he would also like to have a letter from the Mayor reiterating in less legal terms the fact that the City is interested in promoting the industry. Council concurred. Councilmember Benson expressed concern with the first paragraph on page 2 relative to air pollution in the City, especially the statement "In the U.S. only the Los Angeles basin has worse smog." She asked if this was a true statement. Mr. Shillcock responded that it was a true statement and was something that needed to be in this report in order to sell the program in Washington. However, he said staff could reword it if Council wishes so it is not so strong. Mayor Wilson added that we do exceed Federal health standards, but most of the smog comes from the Los Angeles basin. Councilmember Benson suggested rewording the report to indicate that we are not creating the pollution but are importing it from Los Angeles. Mayor Wilson agreed and said it could be softened to show that it is due to the close proximity to the South Coast Air Basin, the combination of transport pollutants, etc. Mr. Shillcock stated that staff would reword it. 3. Update on Cook Street, Washington Street, and Monterey Avenue/I-10 Interchanges. Mr. Altman noted the report in the packets from Mr. Folkers. NOTE: The following item was listed on an Agenda Addendum and posted 72 hours prior to the City Council meeting. B. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF OUT-OF-STATE TRAVEL FOR PALM DESERT SISTER CITIES REPRESENTATIVES TO OSOYOOS. Mr. Altman noted the memorandum in the packets and offered to answer any questions.

He said Mr. Ortega had indicated an interest in attending as a staff member, and Mr. Doug Simmons would attend as a member of the Sister Cities Committee. He noted that the City of Osoyoos had requested that Palm Desert send a foursome. 5 MINUTES REGULAR PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING br x i tadBER 8, 1994 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Councilman Crites moved to, by Minute Motion: 1) Direct the Mayor to make the appropriate appointments of representatives to travel to Osoyoos; 2) approve out-of-state travel for Palm Desert Sister Cities representatives to Osoyoos. Motion was seconded by Benson and carried by unanimous vote. XI. CONTINUED BUSINESS A. CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FROM RESIDENTS OF BELMONTE ESTATES RELATIVE TO ADOPTION OF A RESIDENTIAL COMPATIBILITY ORDINANCE SIMILAR TO ONE ADOPTED BY THE CITY OF LA QUINTA (CONTINUED FROM THE MEETING OF AUGUST 25, 1994). Planner Steve Smith reviewed the staff report, noting that the recommendation was to direct staff to hold public hearings on the matter, with a draft ordinance to come back to the Council after it has gone through the Planning Commission process. He noted that it was expected that the Planning Commission hearing would occur in October. MR. RICK FARBER, 6 Belmonte Drive, stated he felt there should be an ordinance that would regulate development of vacant property within a single family development that has already gone through the review process, been approved by the City, and had conditions of approval set for it. He said he believed the new developer has the right to come in to the City and request variations from the original approval, but in a formal manner. Upon question by Mayor Wilson, he said he would support staffs recommendation. MR. ERNEST VINCENT, Vice President of Corporate Legal for Century Homes Communities addressed Council and said his organization would be closing a deal shortly to acquire the remaining lots in Belmonte Estates. He assured residents that Century Homes Communities was not a "fly by night" developer from out of the area that wished to take advantage of a nice neighborhood, make some money, and then leave. He said an ordinance of the type being considered must be drafted in such a way that it would not allow for homes 1 O % smaller nor 1O % larger than the existing residences. He suggested that staff be directed to consider a compatibility ordinance but not to make a decision on it until a task force of industry representatives is appointed to go over what might be done MR. DENNIS CUNNINGHAM, Director of Projects for Century Homes in the Desert Region, gave a brief history of the compatibility ordinance adopted by the City of La Quinta, which he said the City was considering modifying because of its subjectivity. With regard to Century's development in Palm Desert, he said they felt as a company that the City of La Quinta had set a precedent in its compatibility ordinance. He said although they felt some of the issues in the ordinance were not good, some of the areas in the ordinance were good formats, and they followed that format in the City of Palm Desert. He said they initially contacted Mr. Diaz in the Planning Department, showed him what they had in mind, and discussed the laws in the effect in the City of Palm Desert with respect to building. They also contacted the homeowners and had a meeting with them to show them what was being planned. Another meeting had then been held with the Mayor, Ray Diaz, and Attorney 6 MINUTES REGULAR PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING brr 'LAMER 8, 1994 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Wayne Guralnick. A subsequent meeting was held with Mr. Guralnick and several of the homeowners in August, and they were asked by Mr. Guralnick to not go before the City's Architectural Review Commission until an agreement is reached relative to what went on in the last meeting. He said they had agreed to everything that came up at that meeting; they felt at this time, with respect to Belmonte, that they were very close to an agreement with the homeowners and were prepared at this time to go before the Architectural Review Commission next week. He noted that the City of Palm Desert already had all the checks and balances in place with regard to compatibility, and he said this was evidenced by how far along they had gotten with Belmonte. He said he felt the Council should review the historical data up to this time before considering any kind of compatibility ordinance. He added that he did not think the Council wanted to consider a compatibility ordinance and open itself to more bureaucratic situations and possible backlashes from landowners. MS. MARGARET GIEGLING, resident of Belmonte Estates, stated she had purchased a "Betty Williams" home, and Century builds entry homes which do not have any type of style or anything. She said she felt this ordinance was needed badly. MS. MARILYN FARBER also spoke in favor of the ordinance. Councilman Crites stated that Mr. Ed Kibbey, Executive Director of the Building Industry Association, was not able to attend this meeting but had asked for the opportunity to comment before the ordinance process is started. He said that if the developer would agree to not pull permits until or unless they have an agreement with the people who live there, we could also at the same time allow a committee of people from business and industry to look at an ordinance before staff begins to process it. Councilmember Benson agreed and said she felt it was important to get input from as many people as possible before this is done. Councilman Snyder suggested looking at the possibility of imposing a moratorium and directing staff to begin the processing of an amendment to the zoning ordinance and allow people the opportunity to submit comments. Mr. Cunningham stated that this was similar to what happened in the City of La Quinta with their first project. The agreement they reached with the City of La Quinta was that they would continue in the processing but would not pull permits. He said another way to do it would be for them to come to an agreement with the homeowners as far as what is being built. He said they would like to go to the Architectural Review Commission to show they are compatible and would like to continue along and write up legal documents with the City. Councilman Crites asked if the developer would prefer to continue on with what they are doing and let the City begin advertising for public hearings for the ordinance, and Mr. Cunningham agreed and said they would like to process the development through the Architectural Review Commission. 7 MINUTES REGULAR PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING & r A za BER 8, 1994 ** * * * * s* * s s* * * s s * s*$ * * * * * s s s * * s * * s** s s s Mr. Erwin stated that this project was in plan check at this time and that due to the work load in the Building Department, it would be approximately four weeks before the plan check is completed. He said he had no problem with the developer continuing through the Architectural Review Commission as long as the building permit is held up. He said a progress report could be made at the next couple of meetings. He suggested that staff go ahead and process the amendment, and in that process meet with homeowners and the developer to get their input as well as Mr. Kibbey on the ordinance. Councilman Kelly stated he felt the Council should move ahead with this and that everyone would have an opportunity for input because of the public hearings. Councilman Snyder moved to, by Minute Motion, direct staff to process an amendment to the zoning ordinance through the Planning Commission before it comes back to the Council and during that time take into consideration all input from people who have an interest in this project. Motion was seconded by Kelly. Mr. Erwin stated he would like to have this matter placed on each of the next several City Council agendas until the matter is resolved. Mayor Wilson called for the vote. Motion carried by unanimous vote of the Council. B. REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION OF TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 27882, ROBERT L. MAYER TRUST, APPLICANT (CONTINUED FROM THE MEETING OF AUGUST 25, 1994). Mr. Altman noted the report in the packets. Councilman Crites moved to, by Minute Motion, refer Tentative Tract Map 27882 to the Planning Commission for final action. Motion was seconded by Benson and carried by unanimous vote. XII. OLD BUSINESS A. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF RESOLUTIONS DENYING A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND CHANGE OF ZONE FROM MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (PR-7) TO PC-2 (DISTRICT COMMERCIAL) ON 9.1 ACRES AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE AND MONTEREY AVENUE (Robert L. Mayer Trust, Applicant). Mr. Altman noted the memorandum in the packets and stated that this was the result of Council action at the last meeting. Councilman Crites moved to: 1) Waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 94-99, denying GPA 93-4; 2) waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 94-1Q0, denying C/Z 93-4. Motion was seconded by Benson and carried by unanimous vote. 8 MINUTES REGULAR PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING brr z riv1BER 8, 1994 s s* s s s s* s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s*** s s s s s s s s B. REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION ON THE "GAZEBO/COMMUNITY WALK" PROJECT FOR THE CIVIC CENTER SITE. Mr. Erwin stated that this was placed on the Agenda at his request for clarification as to whether Council's approval of the project included both the community walls and the gazebo and whether it is to be totally self -funded or whether a portion of the work is to be funded by the City and a portion self -funded. Ms. Sass stated that the recommendations of the Civic Arts Committee, Art -In -Public -Places Committee, and the Construction Committee were to go ahead with the gazebo as a separate project. She added that it would not be a self -funded project. She reviewed here report dated September 8, 1994. Councilman Crites moved to, by Minute Motion: 1) Authorize staff to proceed with drafting an agreement for the construction of the gazebo design by Howard and Kathleen Meehan for an amount not to exceed $53,000; and 2) appropriate $53,000 from unobligated park fund, Account #430-4661-433-4001. Motion was seconded by Kelly. Mrs. Gilligan stated that the brochure for the art walk would go through the Public Art Committee, and she asked Council's concurrence that staff does not need to bring it back to Council for approval. Councilmen Crites and Kelly agreed as the maker and seconder of the motion. Motion carried by unanimous vote. XIII. AWARDS, PRESENTATIONS, AND APPOINTMENTS A.
