Approve Palm Desert Century Bike Ride; 2. Approve Road Closure at University Dr. from College Dr. east to west; 3. Approve waiver of Section 11.01.140 —Amplified Sound; and 4. Approve waiver of Section 11.01.180 — Prohibited Conduct Generally in City Parks, Item Q — Vendor Sales Discussion: Staff has met with representatives Jim Knight and Larry Gitman of Shadow Tour, LLC in regards to the first annual Palm Desert Century Bike Ride. The event is proposed as taking place in the University Park off of Cook Street on Saturday, November 12, 2011. The event will start setup around 5:00 a.m. with cleanup around 6:00 p.m. The plan is to have a DJ start making announcements and alternating music sets at about 6:00 a.m. Then at 11:00 a.m., there will be a small band for entertainment — music is more for background entertainment and announcements. Therefore, staff is requesting a waiver of Palm Desert Municipal Code (PDMC) Section 11.01.140 Amplified Sound. In addition, the organizers are proposing to have booths for sponsors and exhibitors with 10'x10' pop-up canopies to sell products. As such, staff is recommending a waiver of PDMC Section 11.01.180, Item Q Prohibit Conduct Generally in City Parks — Sell or offer for sale any merchandise (Vendor Sales). Originally, the event sponsor requested that the event be approved for the Civic Center Park; however, staff thought that the event would be better located at the University Park as it would 1) generate business for the local merchants in this area; 2) have less of an impact to the surrounding communities; and 3) provide a safer ride for the participants and drivers in that area versus Fred Waring and/or Highway 111. This STAFF REPORT RE: APPROVE WAIVER TO SECTION 11.01.140 AMPLIFIED SOUND AND SECTION 11.01.080 PROHIBITED CONDUCT GENERALLY IN CITY PARKS — VENDOR SALES JUNE 9, 2011 PAGE 2 event is not a race, but rather, a recreational ride where riders are required to obey the "Rules of the Road." The closest occupied residential units are located in the southeast quadrant of University Dr. and College Dr., which is approximately 400 feet from the park. Also, there is a hotel directly adjacent to the park. Event sponsors have negotiated with Homewood Suites (hotel adjacent to the park) to become the Host Hotel and Hampton Inn as the Event Hotel. Agreements with both hotels have been formalized. In addition, the sponsor has been in touch with local businesses in the area and the businesses appear to be in favor of the event. Staff has worked with other City departments, the Palm Desert Police Department, and the Fire Department to address the route and relative issues such as street and/or lane closures, barricades, etc. Since the actual ride only encompasses approximately 4.3 miles one-way (8.6 miles roundtrip) within Palm Desert, the majority of the ride will go through other communities and proceed to the County area towards Box Canyon Road. The ride will have 25, 50, and 100 mile segments with the complete route proceeding to Chiriaco Summit where riders will turn around and follow the same route back to University Park. They are anticipating anywhere from 500 to 1,000 riders the first year. Following is 1) the proposed section of the route that is within Palm Desert; and 2) street/road conditions: Palm Desert Route: • Riders will proceed south on College Dr. toward Frank Sinatra Dr. • Turn left heading east on Frank Sinatra Dr. and proceed passed Cook St. • Continuing onto Tamarisk Row Dr. • Turn left heading east on Country Club Dr. past Washington Street until riders reach Jefferson. Street/Road Closures and/or Other Safety Requirements: • No major road closures proposed except at University Dr. from College Dr. east to west. On -street parking will be allowed along this section of University Dr. • Palm Desert Police officers will be stationed at the following four (4) intersections for the start of the ride: College Dr./Frank Sinatra Dr., Frank Sinatra Dr./Cook St., Tamarisk Row Dr./Country Club Dr., and Country Club Dr./Washington St. Traffic will be stopped at these intersections to allow riders to move through quickly and safely until they are out of City limits. (Police will also utilize the Palm Desert Citizen on Patrol (COPS) members to assist with traffic control at various intersections.) • On the return, riders should be significantly spread out, as a result, the same conditions will not exist as in the start of the event; therefore, officers will only need to be stationed at the intersections of Country Club Dr./Washington St. and Frank Sinatra Dr./Cook St. If riders appear in large numbers, traffic will be STAFF REPORT RE: APPROVE WAIVER TO SECTION 11.01.140 AMPLIFIED SOUND AND SECTION 11.01.080 PROHIBITED CONDUCT GENERALLY IN CITY PARKS — VENDOR SALES JUNE 9, 2011 PAGE 3 stopped to allow riders through; however, if not, they will be there to monitor and ensure that riders are obeying the "Rules of the Road." In addition, staff conducted a meeting with the event planners of each city that would be impacted by this ride including the County. To date, all of the communities have expressed interest in the event and are working out specific details relative to their jurisdiction with the event sponsor. This ride does have a charitable aspect and staff recommended that they consider a local charity. The sponsor has been in touch with Aurora Wilson with the Coachella Valley Association of Governments' (CVAG) to designate Roy's Desert Resource Center as the sponsored charity for this event. Staff has worked to mitigate traffic and other issues relative to this event and will work with sponsors to notify residents and business in the immediate area of the park/event. In addition, staff believes that this event will generate commerce in the area for local businesses and hotels. Therefore, staff recommends that City Council approve the above event and ordinance waivers for the Palm Desert Century Bike Ride. Fiscal Analysis: There will be no fiscal impact to the City of Palm Desert associated with this request. Sponsor has been informed that the City will not consider any monetary compensation for the event. Submitted By: f Fr kie Ric011e Direc r of Special Programs i M.
