THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT
HEREHY FINDS, DETERMINES, RESOLVES AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Pursuant to provisions of the Community
Redevelopment Law (California Health and Safety Code Section 33000,
et seq.), and in particular Section 33445 thereof, the Palm Desert
Redevelopment Agency proposes to pay all or a part of the cost of
the installation of landscaping in the Country Club Drive median
between Cook Street to the east and Oasis Club Drive to the west.
The subject median is located partially in Project Area No. 2 of
the Agency. The installation of the landscaping will provide
beautification, thereby enhancing the desirability of the
surroundings. The installation of the landscaping will also
improve water conservation by replacing the existinq landscaping
with drought tolerant landscaping and improve aesthetics by
providing for landscaping which is consistent with the City's
landscaping design theme. The installation of the landscaping will
also correct a hazardous condition; the existinq sprinkler system
causes wet street pavement which creates a traffic hazard and
contributes to pavement deterioration. The installation of the
landscapinq will improve the aesthetics of the area, conserve
water, prevent deterioration and correct a hazardous condition, all
for the benefit of the health, safety and welfare of the residents
and taxpayers of Project Area No. 2 and the immediate neighborhood.
Section 2. The Coachella Valley Water District proposes
to contribute approximately 20 percent of the cost of installing
the landscaping. The budget constraints of the City prevent the
City �from financing the remaining cost of such installation by any
means. Traditional methods of Financing such improvements such as
general obliqation bonds are not available as a practical matter
because of the extraordinary voter approval requirement. Special
assessment or special tax financing could overburden benefitting
properties with assessments or taxes which would be added to
existing taxes and assessments.
Section 3. The City Council hereby finds and determines
that, based upon the foregoing and other information presented to
the City Council: (i) the landscaping described in Section I,
above, is of benefit to Project Area No. 2 of the Aqency and to the
immediate neighborhood in which the Pro ject is located; and ( ii ) no
other reasonable means of financing such landscaping is available
to the City.

Section 4. The City Council hereby approves payment of
all or part of the cost of the installation of the landscaping from
any funds of the Agency lawfully available therefor.
