Recommendation
That the City Council allow the Palm Desert Chamber of Commerce to apply for
a Temporary Use Permit to hold a valley -wide resident garage sale at Entrada
del Paseo and authorize the City Manager to sign as authorized representative.
Background
The Palm Desert Chamber of Commerce is seeking approval to hold a garage sale at
the Entrada del Paseo parking lot on November 19, 2011. Under Chapter 25.64.030,
permitted temporary uses require an application made by the property owner; the City of
Palm Desert, as property owner, must authorize an application for the event. The event
would be held for Coachella Valley residents to have a safe, approved place to sell their
used household goods. Many communities and HOA's do not allow garage sales within
their development. The Chamber is proposing this outreach to provide a valuable,
needed community service. No vendors, professionals or businesses will be allowed to
participate in this event and a maximum of 100 people will sell their household goods in
the garage sale. More people will be present on -site as people walk through and browse
the items for sale.

Set-up of the event will occur on November 19 from 4:00 a.m. to 6:30 a.m., the event
will take place from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and clean-up will occur from 1:00 p.m. to
3:00 p.m. Participants will be unloading, then parking along Painters Path, so the on -site
parking spaces can be utilized for wares. This event is a nominal- fee event raising a
small amount of money for the Palm Desert Chamber of Commerce as non -dues
revenue and covering the cost of the event. A site plan is attached identifying event
location.
Staff recommends that the City Council grant the applicant's request, and that the
following conditions be imposed on the Temporary Use Permit:
• Applicant must set up a voluntary collection site where residents can place
unsold items at the end of the day for delivery to a local charity thrift store rather
than throwing unsold items in the trash
• Applicant must inform the owners or owners' representatives of Cuistot, La
Spiga, and the Palm Springs Art Museum of their plans at least one week in
advance and provide a site plan identifying event location so other on -site
business owners can make appropriate parking arrangements the day of the
event
