Public Hearing for President's Plaza Property and Business Improvement District
Page 2 of 3
Background Analysis
The President's Plaza Property and Business Improvement District ("PBID") was
originally formed in fiscal year 1998/1999 for a five-year term. A majority of property
owners subsequently voted to renew PBID for three additional five-year terms, the current
one being from fiscal years 2015/2016 to 2019/2020. PBID is in the final year of that
term. Formation (re-establishment) is requested for an additional two-year term for fiscal
years 2020/2021 and 2021 /2022.
PBID includes properties that are located on the south side of Highway 111, and on the
north side of El Paseo, between Portola and Larkspur Lane. The street boundaries of
PBID are shown on a map on page A 2 of the Management District Plan and
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 202012021 to 202112022.
The City of Palm Desert ("City") collects annual assessments from PBID property owners
to pay for landscape maintenance, street sweeping, and parking lot lighting within the
common parking lot areas.
The only modification to the PBID budget will be a three percent (3%) cost -of -living
adjustment for each year of the two-year plan which a majority of the property owners
must approve.
The attached resolutions will: (1) declare the results of a property owner protest
proceeding and approve certain related actions; (2) approve the formation (re-
establishment) of PBID and the levy and collection of assessments within that district;
and (3) approve and adopt the Management District Plan and Engineer's Report; and (4)
appoint an owner's association, for fiscal year 2020/2021.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following ballot procedures for PBID:
(1) open a public hearing for testimony; (2) close the public hearing after testimony
concludes; (3) continue this item to the end of the regular City Council meeting; (4) direct
staff to count the ballots and inform the City Council of the result; and (5) inform Council
of the "Yes" and "No" votes (in assessed dollars), which side prevailed, and the winning
difference in votes.
Fiscal Analysis
The assessment and collection of the levy will finance both ongoing maintenance of the
PBID and the associated staff cost, relieving the City of a portion of the financial burden.
Staff created this draft PBID for a two-year term anticipating the need to increase the
budget commensurate with the parking area improvement project. Staff's
recommendation includes a directive to begin the process now as it will take some time
to work through the increased budgets with individual property owners.

Debris removal (parking lot sweeping) and refuse collection are essential and necessary
activities for all properties —particularly commercial properties. These activities and
services are proposed to be funded through the assessments solely for the special
benefit of properties within the District_ The benefits associated with these services are,
1. Enhanced aesthetic appeal of the parking areas and the properties that are
associated with the parking areas,
2. Improved dust control;
. A positive representation of the businesses within the District, and
4. A centralized location of refuse collection facilities and availability of the service
that would otherwise require individual facilities that could be cost prohibitive and
physically restrictive.
Parking lot maintenance is an essential and necessary activity for all properties, and in
particular, for commercial properties. This improvement is funded through the
assessments solely for the special benefit of properties within the District. The benefits
associated with this service are.
1. Increased safety to automobile, truck and pedestdan traffic within the parking
areas and to the properties that are associated with the parking areas;
. 1rnproved traffic circulation within the parking areas;
3. Enhanced aesthetic appeal of the parking areas and the properties that are
associated with the parkiing areas;
4. Improved dust control;
5. The special economic enhancement to the properties and their ability to attract
and sustain lousiness and commercial activity as a result of the benefits identified
above.
The on -going operation and maintenance of the landscaping, lighting, sweeping and
refuse collection services, and parking lot areas provide no measurable general benefit
to other properties outside the boundaries of the District, or to the public at large.
Therefore, these EMpravemerlts and the corresponding -assessments have been
identified as providing 100% special benefiit to parcels within the District,

Method of Apportionment
Method of Apportionment Rationale
The costs of the District improvements have each been apportioned by a formula, and
method which fairly distributes the net amount to be assessed among all assessed
parcels in proportion to the estimated speciai beriefils to be receivers by each parcel
from the improvements.
Parking Lot Improvements and Services
Assessed parcels within President's Plaza are adjacent to centralized parking facilities
(lots) that provide access, parking, and delivery areas for the businesses and parcels
within the District, Each parcel derives special benefit from the parking lot improvements
and the services and activities necessary to maintain the parking lot. The improvements
and activities include maintenance of several landscaped islands and medians,
maintenance and operation of lighting facilities, parking lot maintenance, and sweeping
services_ Each assessed parcel within the District receives a direct and special benefit
from these improvements and will share proportionately in the cost of maintaining the
parking lots. The parking areas consists of the three parcels that are entirely parking lot
area and portions of many of the assessed parcels within the District. The three parcels
that are entirely parking lot area parcels (6 2 7-212-016, 6 2 7-221-011; and 627-222-043),
and one easement1walkway panel (27-222-04) receive no special benefit from the
improvements and will not be assessed,
In determining the method of apportionment for these improvements, each parcel's
benefit is based on the parking area adjacent to, and associated with, each parcel.
Therefore, it has been determined that a fair and reasonable reflection, of each parcel's
benefit for the parking lot improvements shall be based on the approximate front
footage adjacent to the parking areas. Most parcels within the District front the parking
lots on only one side. Ta ensure a reasonable and equitable apportionment of special
benefit, parcels that front the parking lot on more than one side (corner properties), are
only assessed for their front footage aiong the side of their property adjacent to the
parking lot.
Solid Waste (Refuse) Connection Services
Establishing separate refuse receptacles for each parcel or business within President's
Plaza, and thereby allowing for separate charges and agreements for this service, is not
practical due to limited space and accessibility. Therefore, several common refuse
containers have been placed within the parking lot area for use by all the properties and
businesses, and }patrons of these businesses, within the District. Historically, all
developed properties withir President's Plaza have shared propartionately in the costs
associated with refuse collection based on the building square footage of the structures
on each parcel.
In determining the method of apportionment for refuse collection services, the possibility
of factoring in business types as well as building square footage was considered.
However, the inclusion of business types in the calculation of an annual assessment
202012021 Pmildant 9 Pluo Pmperty aprl sin s Wnpmvemfint Oistrirr page, 7
V/WILLDAN
poses several problems. First, many of the panels assessed include multiple business
types, which could require a complex calculation to identify potential use of the service.
Second, businesses often change From year to year or even month to month, making
specific business related assessments difficult to track and time-consuming and
expensive to administer_ Third, estabN Shing a method of apportionment that is business -
specific rattler than parcel -specific would likely result in annual changes for each
parcels assessment even if the cost of the service was unchanged. Finally, the level of
service (number of pick-ups and receptacles) has changed very little over the last
several gears. Although many of the businesses and business types have changed
within the District, the total cost of providing this service has remained fairly constant_
In contrast to the total cost, it is not reasonable to assume that all developed parcels
utilize or require the same level of refuse service —typically the larger the building, the
greater amount of refuse that is generated. Therefore, it has been determined that a fair
and reasonable estimate of each panel's benefit for refuse collection is the building
square footage determined for each parcel,
As rioted previously, due to limited space and accessibility, it is not practical for each
parcel or business within President's .Plaza to have separate containers or agreements
with the waste hauler. However, it is recognized that the baseline level of service (i.e.,
number of bins, size of the bins and frequency of service) established for the District
may not be adequate or appropriately reflect the reeds of changing business within the
District. Therefore, the following considerations and criteria shall be followed when the
level of service provided requires modifications:
1. If the level of service is reduced. the incremental cost savings (if any) will be
reviewer} and applied as follows -
a. Reserve Fund Account — The City staff and the owners' association will evaluate
the existing availebte Reserve Funds to ensure an acceptable amount of money is
being retained for normal annual operation of the District. Based on this evaluation,
the owners' association will modify the annual plan (recommendation to the City
Council) to apply all or a portion of the cost savings to the Reserve Account. A fuller
funded Reserve is an amount equal to approximately one half of all annual operating
expenses. HOWeVerr most operating reserves are typically less than 50%. but
greater than 5% of all annual operating expenses.
b. Reduced Assessments — After reviewing the Reserve Account, any cost savings
not applied to the Reserve Account (Deserve Fund Collection) will be passed on to
each parcel within the District by reducing their annual assessment for the next fiscal
year. in proportion to their estimated benefit (from the method of apportionment).
2. If the level of service is increased, the incnamental cost Increase (if airy) will be
reviewed and applied as follows:
a_ Increased service District -wide — When the current District was renewed/formed,
an assessment range formula was approved_ This formula provided f0f- anticipated
cost of living increaSeSr but also allowed some flexibility for increased casts clue to
202012021 Pr keen! 5 P1wo Pmpwky apil in s Wnpmmm€in! ChOdd Page 8
ply W I LLDAN
increased levels of service. If an increased level of service is required for the entire
District, the increase is reflected in the annuat budget. This budget increase will
typically cause a proportional increase of the annual assessment. If the increased
cost results in are assessment rate that exceeds the maximum assessment allowed,
then reserve funds will be used to reduce the annual assessment to the maximum
assessment allowed. If the reserve fund is not sufficient to cover the cast increase,
the City Council may provide a temporary loan to the District or conduct a property
owner ballot proceeding for an assessment increase.
b, increased service for one part l — When the current District was
renewed/formed a baseline assessment rate and level of service was established
for all properties within the District. As businesses within the District change or
continue to grow, these businesses may generate a need for an increased level of
service, but it is not fair or equitable to spread the cost of this increased service to
other properties within the District. Therefore, if a business requires an increased
level of service, that particular business owner or the owner of the property on which
the business is located, must pay the resulting cast increase as a surcharge. Either
the City or the property owner may initiate the need for an -increased service level.
The City Council shall make the final determination as to the appropriate mechanism
by which the increased level of service will be provided. The increased level of
service may be accomplished b.
• Increasing the number of pick-ups on the specific bin(s) used by the property or
business.
• Increasing the size of the Specific bin(s) used by the property or business if
space permits.
* Providing separate bin(s) for the property or business if space and accessibility
permits.
• Any combination of the above_
The costs associated with the increased level of service shall be the obligation of the
business and/or property owner which is provided with the additional service. Payment
for the increased level of service shall be reviewed by the owner's association, which
will make a recornmetidatlon to the City Council for approval. The additional cost of
providing the increased level of service may be added to the annual assessment for the
property as a surcharge (in addition to their annual assessment), upon wlitten petition of
the property owner and approval by the City Council (This may require a signed
agreement between the property owner and the City of Palm Desert). However, before
any action is taken to add a surcharge to the property tax roll as part of the property's
annual assessment, the property ownerlbuslness shall work with City staff and the
owner's association to establish the necessary level of additional service and arrange
for direct payment for the service to the waste hauler or the City if at all possible,

Method of Apportionment Calculations
The apportionment of benefit within the District utilizes a weighting factor Known as an
Equivalent Benefit Knit (EBU). Each parcel's EBU represents a percentage of the total
EBU applied for the entire District. Depending on the improvement or activity provided,
the EBU assigned to each parcel is based on either the parcel's development
(approximate building square footage) or the parcel's area of improvement (front
footage to the parking lots). The cost of refuse collection services is apportioned based
on each parcel's approximate building square footage. All othar irnprovemants and
services funded through the District are associated with the parking lots. The total cost
of the parking lot improvements and services is apportioned to each parcel based on
their front footage to the parking lots.
The sum of each parcel's proportionate share of refuse costs and parking lot costs
represents the parcel's Total Direct Cost- In addition to a parcel's Total Direct Cost,
each parcel is assessed for administration expenses and a reserve fund collection
(Indirect Costs). The Indirect Costs for each parcel have been apportioned by a
percentage of the parceI's Direct Costs, not to exceed fifteen percent (15%). Therefore.
each parcel's Total Annual Assessment is the sum of its proportionate share of the Total
Direct Cost and Total Indirect Costs, Although each parcel's proportional berreft and
assessment for each improvement is calculated individually, each parcel's maximum
assessment is based on the parcel's combined assessment for all uosts and services -
The rate applied to any one improvement or service may exceed the maximum rate
originally established. provided the parcel's combined assessment does not exceed the
combined maximum assessment established for the property (excluding changes in
land use or development) -
The County requires that all annual assessments levied and submitted for collection on
tax bills be rounded to the nearest even penny, thus allowing the total assessment to be
split into two installments. In order to comply with the ounty's requirements, the
calculation of each assessment component (i.e., refuse costs, parking lot costs and
indirect costs) is rounded to the nearest even penny and then added together for the
parcel's Total Annual Assessment.
The following describes the general method used to arrive at each parcel's proposed
assessment.
Apportionment of Direct Costs
Refuse Collection Assessment
The Total Refuse Cost estimated for refuse services is based on the ity's contract with
a waste hauler for service to President's Plaza. This Total Refuse Cost divided by the
estimated Total Building Square Footage establishes a Rate per building square foot.
This Rate is multiplied by each parcel's estimated building square footage to calculate
the parcel's proportionate share of the refuse service cost-

There are currently forty-two (42) developed commercial properties within the District
that are assessed for refuse collection services based on approximate build[ng square
footage_ (Refer to the Assessment Roll for individual parcel Refuse assessments).
Parking Lot Assessment
The Total Lot Cost estimated for parking lot improvements and services (maintenance)
is based on the estimated annual costs to maintain the landscaping, lighting, and
parking lot improvements, as well as provide mechanical sweeping of the parking lot,
within President's Plaza_ This Total Lot Cost divided by the applied parking lot Total
Front Footage, establishes a Fate per front foot. This Bate is multiplied by each parcel's
applied front footage to calculate the parcel's proportionate share of the parking lot
maintenance costs.
Total Lot Cost/ Total Front Footage = Rate per Front Foot
Bate per Front Foot x Parcel Front Footage = Parking Lot Assessmenf

All parcels within the District receive direct and special benefits frorn the parking lot
improvements and services. Each of these parcels is assessed proportionately based
on their front footage adjacent to the parking lot.
Apportionment of Indirect Costs
To ensure the improvements, activities, and services provided and funded through the
District are continued, each parcel will be assessed for its proportional share of
administrative and reserve costs (Indirect Costs). These Indirect Costs include all
expenses related to the administration of the District as well as the collection of money
toward a Reserve Fund_ The annual assessment for Indirect Costs has been
established at fifteen percent (1 %) of the Total Direct Costs assessed to each parcel_
The sure of each parcel's proportionate share of refuse costs and parking lot costs
represents the parcel's Direct Cost. This Direct Cost multiplied by fifteen percent (15%)
represents each parcel's proportionate share of the Indirect Costs.

District Budget
The District Budget shown on the following page (Table d) lists the estimated
costs of providing the various improvements and services_ The costs and the
resulting rate for each Fiscal Year Is based on the estimated costs to provide the
improvements and services that year. The projected annual costs anticipated
over the two-year duration of the District assessments have been calculated
based on an annual inflationary factor of three percent {3%) from the first fiscal
year. However, this inflation factor does not mean the assessments will increase
annually by three percent (3%). The owners' association appointed by the City
Council, will annually review the District costs and make re mmendations for
any changes or adjustments to the budget. Changes to the budget, could result
in changes to the annual assessment, but the resulting total assessment may not
exceed the maximum rates established in the original Engineer's Report without
first obtaining property owner approvaf through assessment ballots.
