On November 30, 2023 the City of Desert Hot Springs released a Request for Interest (RFI) for Veterinary Services to identify a suitable partner to provide high-quality and affordable veterinary services for the community and city's Animal Care and Control Division.
On March 19, 2024 the City Council authorized the City Manager to negotiate and execute all agreements, consistent with the conditions set forth in the staff report, with Animal Samaritans for the transfer of ownership and operations of the Animal Hospital.
In August of 2024 the City Manager notified the City Council that the city had been unsuccessful in reaching agreeable terms with the prospective operator and would need to release another RFI for Veterinary Services for operations of the Animal Hospital.
In September of 2024 the City released another RFI for Veterinary Services to identify a suitable partner to provide high-quality and affordable veterinary services for the community and City's Animal Care and Control Division.

Following the release of the RFI the City engaged with Friends of the Palm Springs Animal Shelter to discuss the City's goals and needs for the successful operations of the Animal Hospital. They expressed a strong desire to proceed with negotiations to provide full-service, affordable Veterinary Services which would included but not be limited to pet wellness exams, dental cleanings and care, spay/neuter services, vaccines and micro-chipping. They also plan to provide community trap, neuter, return services of stray unsocialized cats. These services will include financial aid availability to reduce the cost of veterinary care for qualifying low-income residents of Desert Hot Springs and surrounding communities.
On October 15, 2024, the City Council authorized the City Manager to negotiate an Agreement with the Friends of the Palm Springs Animal Shelter for these purposes.
DISCUSSION:
The negotiations have produced the following for consideration by the City Council;
1. Transfer of Ownership of the Animal Hospital property located at 13700 Palm Drive from the City of Desert Hot Springs to the Friends of the Palm Springs Animal Shelter, DBA Greater Palm Springs Animal Allies.
2. As part of the initial acquisition of the property, the City incurred costs totaling $100,361.31 to cover delinquent property taxes owed by the previous owner. The proposed Purchase and Sale Agreement stipulates the purchase price at $100,361.31, plus discounted veterinary services for animals in the care of Animal Care and Control in an amount of $300,000, totaling $400,361.31. to be paid via discounted veterinary services for animals in the care of Animal Care and Control as specified in the Promissory Note.
3. Should the Friends of the Palm Springs Animal Shelter, DBA Greater Palm Springs Animal Allies wish at any point in the future to dispose of the property the City of Desert Hot Springs would have First Right of Offer to acquire the property, at its original purchase price.
4. The City will receive discounted veterinary services at 25% of advertised pricing during the term of this agreement and discounted veterinary services following the successful satisfaction of the note as specified in the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
5. As the Animal Hospital is a charitable asset, the California AG/DOJ will need time to review and approve the Charitable Asset transfer. During this time the City intends to lease the building to Friends of the Palm Springs Animal Shelter, DBA Greater Palm Springs Animal Allies to allow for immediate access to the facility to prepare for operations.
If these terms are satisfactory to the City Council staff will proceed immediately to effectuate the Purchase and Sale of the property to Friends of the Palm Springs Animal Shelter, DBA Greater Palm Springs Animal Allies.

Interest shall accrue upon all sums evidenced hereby (including, without limitation, any delinquency charge or interest or other charge not paid when due) and all other sums required to be paid by Borrower under any Loan Document at a rate per annum of ___ percent (__.000%).

4.1. first, to the payment of delinquency or late charges and other expenses payable to Lender on this Note; and
4.2. second, to accrued and unpaid interest then due and owing (including, without limitation any interest set forth in Section 5 below); and then, to reduction of principal; provided, however, that Lender shall at anytime and from time to time have the right, in its sole discretion, to apply payments by Borrower in any other manner Lender may designate, including, without limitation, to the foregoing obligations in any other order, to any other obligations of Borrower hereunder, to any other obligations under any other of the Loan Documents, or to any other obligations of Borrower to Lender.
4.3. Borrower shall keep, for no less than four years, full and accurate records, and books of account of all particulars necessary for calculating the aggregate amounts of spay/neuter veterinary discounts given by Borrower and which are to be applied against the outstanding principal balance of this Note as set forth above.
4.4 Upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Borrower, Lender shall have the right to appoint a qualified, licensed auditor, reasonably acceptable to Borrower, to examine the business records of Borrower, no more than once per year, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the total aggregate amount of spay/neuter veterinary discounts given by Borrower to residents of the City as set forth above in this Note (which amount is applied against the outstanding principal balance of this Note. Such auditor shall enter into a confidentiality agreement with Borrower and such examination shall be conducted during Borrower's regular business hours.

Borrower agrees that any such delinquency or late charge shall not be deemed to be additional interest or a penalty but shall be deemed to be liquidated damages because of the difficulty in computing the actual amount of damages in advance and that such charges are the reasonable estimate of Lender and Borrower of the fair average compensation for the loss that may be Item Number: 4.

sustained in such event by Lender. Until any and all such delinquency charges are paid in full, the amount thereof shall be added to the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust.

remedy given this Note, or the other Loan Documents or by law or equity in case of one or more subsequent Events of Default.
B. Continuing Waiver. The written waiver by Lender of any Event of Default by Borrower hereunder, or of any default or Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, shall not constitute a continuing waiver or a waiver of any other defaults or Events of Default or of the same default or Event of Default on any future occasion.
C. Course of Dealing. No course of dealing between Borrower and Lender and no delay on the part of Lender in exercising its rights under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents, shall operate as a waiver of the rights of Lender.
D. Failure to Accelerate Debt. Unless Lender has agreed in writing, no failure to accelerate the debt evidenced hereby by reason of the occurrence of any default or Event of Default hereunder, or acceptance of a past due installment to principal or interest, or any indulgence granted from time to time, shall be construed to be a waiver of the right to insist upon prompt payment thereafter or the right to impose delinquency or other charges retroactively or prospectively as a novation of the Note, as a reinstatement of the debt evidenced hereby (except as expressly provided by law), or as a waiver of any right of acceleration or any other right which the Lender may have, whether by the laws of the state governing this Note, by agreement, or otherwise; and Borrower and each endorser or guarantor hereby expressly waives the benefit of any result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing.

Any waiver, which may be given by the Lender, shall be subject to satisfaction of conditions stated therein. Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Lender may have under Sections 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b), or any other provision of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended from time to time (the "Bankruptcy Code"), to file a claim for the full amount of debt owing to Lender by Borrower or to require that all Collateral shall continue to secure all of the indebtedness owing to Lender in accordance with the Deed of Trust and other Loan Documents.

(a) To secure to Lender, the repayment of the Indebtedness, and all renewals, extensions and modifications thereof, and the performance of the covenants and agreements of Borrower contained in the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges, assigns, and grants to Lender a continuing security interest in the UCC Collateral. This Security Instrument constitutes a security agreement and a financing statement under the UCC. This Security Instrument also constitutes a financing statement pursuant to the terms of the UCC with respect to any part of the Mortgaged Property that is or may become a Fixture under applicable law, and will be recorded as a “fixture filing” in accordance with the UCC. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file financing statements, continuation statements and financing statement amendments in such form as Lender may require to perfect or continue the perfection of this security interest without the signature of Borrower. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the remedies of a secured party under the UCC or otherwise provided at law or in equity, in addition to all remedies provided by this Security Instrument and in any Loan Document.
Lender may exercise any or all of its remedies against the UCC Collateral separately or together, and in any order, without in any way affecting the availability or validity of Lender’s other remedies. For purposes of the UCC, the debtor is Borrower and the secured party is Lender.
The name and address of the debtor and secured party are set forth after Borrower’s signature below which are the addresses from which information on the security interest may be obtained.

(c) All property of every kind acquired by Borrower after the date of this Security Instrument which by the terms of this Security Instrument shall be subject to the lien and the security interest created hereby, shall immediately upon the acquisition thereof by Borrower and without further conveyance or assignment become subject to the lien and security interest created Item Number: 4.

(d) Borrower shall keep, for no less than four (4) years, full and accurate records, and books of account of all particulars necessary for calculating the aggregate amounts of spay/neuter veterinary discounts given by Borrower and which are to be applied against the outstanding principal balance of the Note.
(e) Upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Borrower, Lender shall have the right to appoint a qualified, licensed auditor, reasonably acceptable to Borrower, to examine the business records of Borrower, no more than once per year, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the total aggregate amount of spay/neuter veterinary discounts given by Borrower to residents of the City as set forth in the Note (which amount is applied against the outstanding principal balance of the Note). Such auditor shall enter into a confidentiality agreement with Borrower and such examination shall be conducted during Borrower's regular business hours. All expenses of such examination shall be borne by Lender; provided, however, that, if any such examination determines that amounts to be applied against the outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Note are overstated by ten percent (10%) or more, then Borrower shall pay the full cost of the examination. The parties will meet within ten (10) days after completion of the examination to discuss how best to respond to any areas of concern identified by the examination.
3. Assignment of Leases and Rents; Appointment of Receiver; Lender in Possession. (a) As part of the consideration for the Indebtedness, Borrower absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all Leases and Rents. It is the intention of Borrower to establish present, absolute and irrevocable transfers and assignments to Lender of all Leases and Rents and to authorize and empower Lender to collect and receive all Rents without the necessity of further action on the part of Borrower. Borrower and Lender intend the assignments of Leases and Rents to be effective immediately and to constitute absolute present assignments, and not assignments for additional security only. Only for purposes of giving effect to these absolute assignments of Leases and Rents, and for no other purpose, the Leases and Rents shall not be deemed to be a part of the Mortgaged Property. However, if these present, absolute and unconditional assignments of Leases and Rents are not enforceable by their terms under the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, then each of the Leases and Rents shall be included as part of the Mortgaged Property, and it is the intention of Borrower, in such circumstance, that this Security Instrument create and perfect a lien on each of the Leases and Rents in favor of Lender, which liens shall be effective as of the date of this Security Instrument. (b) Until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but subject to the limitations set forth in the Loan Documents, Borrower shall have a revocable license to exercise all rights, power and authority granted to Borrower under the Leases (including the right, power and authority to modify the terms of any Lease, extend or terminate any Lease, or enter into new Leases, subject to the limitations set forth in the Loan Documents), and to collect and receive all Item Number: 4.
8 Rents, to hold all Rents in trust for the benefit of Lender, and to apply all Rents to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payments and the other amounts then due and payable under the other Loan Documents, including Imposition Deposits, and to pay the current costs and expenses of managing, operating and maintaining the Mortgaged Property, including utilities and Impositions (to the extent not included in Imposition Deposits), tenant improvements and other capital expenditures. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and no event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), the Rents remaining after application pursuant to the preceding sentence may be retained and distributed by Borrower free and clear of, and released from, Lender’s rights with respect to Rents under this Security Instrument. (c) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without the necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining control of the Mortgaged Property directly, by a receiver, or by any other manner or proceeding permitted by the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, the revocable license granted to Borrower pursuant to Section 3(b) shall automatically terminate, and Lender shall immediately have all rights, powers and authority granted to Borrower under any Lease (including the right, power and authority to modify the terms of any such Lease, or extend or terminate any such Lease) and, without notice, Lender shall be entitled to all Rents as they become due and payable, including Rents then due and unpaid. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower authorizes Lender to collect, sue for and compromise Rents and directs each tenant of the Mortgaged Property to pay all Rents to, or as directed by, Lender, and Borrower shall, upon Borrower’s receipt of any Rents from any sources, pay the total amount of such receipts to Lender. Although the foregoing rights of Lender are self-effecting, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may make demand for all Rents, and Lender may give, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to give, notice to all tenants of the Mortgaged Property instructing them to pay all Rents to Lender. No tenant shall be obligated to inquire further as to the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, and no tenant shall be obligated to pay to Borrower any amounts that are actually paid to Lender in response to such a notice. Any such notice by Lender shall be delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or by delivering such demand to each rental unit. (d) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may, regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security or the solvency of Borrower, and even in the absence of waste, enter upon, take and maintain full control of the Mortgaged Property, and may exclude Borrower and its agents and employees therefrom, in order to perform all acts that Lender, in its discretion, determines to be necessary or desirable for the operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, including the execution, cancellation or modification of Leases, the collection of all Rents (including through use of a lockbox, at Lender’s election), the making of repairs to the Mortgaged Property and the execution or termination of contracts providing for the management, operation or maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, for the purposes of enforcing this assignment of Rents, protecting the Mortgaged Property or the security of this Security Instrument and the Mortgage Loan, or for such other purposes as Lender in its discretion may deem necessary or desirable.
Item Number: 4.
9 (e) Notwithstanding any other right provided Lender under this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security or Borrower’s solvency, and without the necessity of giving prior notice (oral or written) to Borrower, Lender may apply to any court having jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property to take any or all of the actions set forth in Section 3. If Lender elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower, by its execution of this Security Instrument, expressly consents to the appointment of such receiver, including the appointment of a receiver ex parte, if permitted by applicable law.
Borrower consents to shortened time consideration of a motion to appoint a receiver. Lender or the receiver, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for managing the Mortgaged Property and such fee shall become an additional part of the Indebtedness.
Immediately upon appointment of a receiver or Lender’s entry upon and taking possession and control of the Mortgaged Property, possession of the Mortgaged Property and all documents, records (including records on electronic or magnetic media), accounts, surveys, plans, and specifications relating to the Mortgaged Property, and all security deposits and prepaid Rents, shall be surrendered to Lender or the receiver, as applicable. If Lender or receiver takes possession and control of the Mortgaged Property, Lender or receiver may exclude Borrower and its representatives from the Mortgaged Property.
(f) The acceptance by Lender of the assignments of the Leases and Rents pursuant to this Section 3 shall not at any time or in any event obligate Lender to take any action under any Loan Document or to expend any money or to incur any expense. Lender shall not be liable in any way for any injury or damage to person or property sustained by any Person in, on or about the Mortgaged Property. Prior to Lender’s actual entry upon and taking possession and control of the Land and Improvements, Lender shall not be:
(1) obligated to perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in any Lease (or otherwise have any obligation with respect to any Lease); (2) obligated to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to any Lease or the Mortgaged Property; or
(3) responsible for the operation, control, care, management or repair of the Mortgaged Property or any portion of the Mortgaged Property.
The execution of this Security Instrument shall constitute conclusive evidence that all responsibility for the operation, control, care, management and repair of the Mortgaged Property is and shall be that of Borrower, prior to such actual entry and taking possession and control by Lender of the Land and Improvements.
(g) Lender shall be liable to account only to Borrower and only for Rents actually received by Lender. Lender shall not be liable to Borrower, anyone claiming under or through Borrower or anyone having an interest in the Mortgaged Property by reason of any act or omission of Lender under this Section 3, and Borrower hereby releases and discharges Lender Item Number: 4.
10 from any such liability to the fullest extent permitted by law, provided that Lender shall not be released from liability that occurs as a result of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final, non-appealable court order. If the Rents are not sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property and collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Lender for such purposes shall be added to, and become a part of, the principal balance of the Indebtedness, be immediately due and payable, and bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of disbursement until fully paid. Any entering upon and taking control of the Mortgaged Property by Lender or the receiver, and any application of Rents as provided in this Security Instrument, shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or invalidate any other right or remedy of Lender under applicable law or provided for in this Security Instrument or any Loan Document.
4. Protection of Lender’s Security.
If Borrower fails to perform any of its obligations under this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, or any action or proceeding is commenced that purports to affect the Mortgaged Property, Lender’s security, rights or interests under this Security Instrument or any Loan Document (including eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, civil or criminal forfeiture, enforcement of environmental laws, fraudulent conveyance or reorganizations or proceedings involving a debtor or decedent), Lender may, at its option, make such appearances, disburse or pay such sums and take such actions, whether before or after an Event of Default or whether directly or to any receiver for the Mortgaged Property, as Lender reasonably deems necessary to perform such obligations of Borrower and to protect the Mortgaged Property or Lender’s security, rights or interests in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgage Loan, including:
(a) paying fees and out-of-pocket expenses of attorneys, accountants, inspectors and consultants;
(b) entering upon the Mortgaged Property to make repairs or secure the Mortgaged Property;
(c) obtaining (or force-placing) the insurance required by the Loan Documents; and (d) paying any amounts required under any of the Loan Documents that Borrower has failed to pay.
Any amounts so disbursed or paid by Lender shall be added to, and become part of, the principal balance of the Indebtedness, be immediately due and payable and bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of disbursement until fully paid. The provisions of this Section 4 shall not be deemed to obligate or require Lender to incur any expense or take any action.
5. Default; Acceleration; Remedies.
(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender, at its option, may declare the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable without further demand, and may either with or without entry or taking possession as herein provided or otherwise, proceed by suit Item Number: 4.
11 or suits at law or in equity or any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (1) to enforce payment of the Mortgage Loan; (2) to foreclose this Security Instrument judicially or non-judicially by the power of sale granted herein; (3) to enforce or exercise any right under any Loan Document; and (4) to pursue any one (1) or more other remedies provided in this Security Instrument or in any other Loan Document or otherwise afforded by applicable law.

(b) Borrower acknowledges that the power of sale granted in this Security Instrument may be exercised or directed by Lender without prior judicial hearing. In the event Lender invokes the power of sale:
(1) Lender shall send to Borrower, and any other Persons required to receive such notice, written notice of Lender’s election to cause the Mortgaged Property to be sold. In connection therewith, Borrower hereby authorizes and empowers Trustee to take possession of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and hereby grants to Trustee a power of sale and authorizes and empowers Trustee to sell (or, in the case of the default of any purchaser, to resell) the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, in compliance with applicable law, including compliance with any and all notice and timing requirements for such sale;
(2) Trustee shall have the authority to determine the terms of the sale, subject to applicable law. In connection with any such sale, the whole of the Mortgaged Property may be sold in one (1) parcel as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels at the same or different times. Lender shall have the right to become the purchaser at any such sale.
Trustee shall be entitled to receive fees and expenses from such sale not to exceed the amount permitted by applicable law;
(3) Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property a deed or such other appropriate conveyance document conveying the Mortgaged Property so sold without any express or implied covenant or warranty. The recitals in such deed or document shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of the statements made in those recitals; and
(4) the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and the other Indebtedness, if not previously due, shall be and become immediately due and payable without demand or notice of any kind. If the Mortgaged Property is sold for an amount less than the amount outstanding under the Indebtedness, the deficiency shall be determined by the purchase price at the sale or sales.
(c) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the proceeds of any sale shall be applied as determined by Lender unless otherwise required by applicable law.

All expenditures and expenses of the nature mentioned in this Section 5, and such other expenses and fees as may be incurred in the protection of the Mortgaged Property and rents and income therefrom and the maintenance of the lien of this Security Instrument, including the fees of any attorney employed by Lender in any litigation or proceedings affecting this Security Instrument, the Note, the other Loan Documents, or the Mortgaged Property, including bankruptcy proceedings, any Foreclosure Event, or in preparation of the commencement or defense of any proceedings or threatened suit or proceeding, or otherwise in dealing specifically therewith, shall be so much additional Indebtedness and shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower, with interest thereon at the Default Rate until paid. (e) Any action taken by Trustee or Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5 shall comply with the laws of the Property Jurisdiction. Such applicable laws shall take precedence over the provisions of this Section 5, but shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of any Loan Document that can be construed in a manner consistent with any applicable law. If any provision of this Security Instrument shall grant to Lender (including Lender acting as a mortgagee-in-possession), Trustee or a receiver appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Security Instrument any powers, rights or remedies prior to, upon, during the continuance of or following an Event of Default that are more limited than the powers, rights, or remedies that would otherwise be vested in such party under any applicable law in the absence of said provision, such party shall be vested with the powers, rights, and remedies granted in such applicable law to the full extent permitted by law.

Without limiting the foregoing:
(1) Borrower for itself and all Persons who may claim by, through, or under Borrower, hereby expressly waives any so-called “Moratorium Law” and any and all rights of reinstatement and redemption, if any, under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Security Instrument, it being the intent hereof that any and all such “Moratorium Laws,” and all rights of reinstatement and redemption of Borrower and of all other Persons claiming by, through, or under Borrower are and shall be deemed to be hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; (2) Borrower shall not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay or impede the execution of any right, power remedy herein or otherwise granted or delegated to Lender but will suffer and permit the execution of every such right, power and remedy as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted; and (3) if Borrower is a trust, Borrower represents that the provisions of this Section 7 (including the waiver of reinstatement and redemption rights) were made at the express direction of Borrower’s beneficiaries and the persons having the power of direction over Borrower, and are made on behalf of the trust estate of Borrower and all beneficiaries of Borrower, as well as all other persons mentioned above. (b) Lender shall have the right to foreclose subject to the rights of any tenant or tenants of the Mortgaged Property having an interest in the Mortgaged Property prior to that of Lender. The failure to join any such tenant or tenants of the Mortgaged Property as party defendant or defendants in any such civil action or the failure of any decree of foreclosure and sale to foreclose their rights shall not be asserted by Borrower as a defense in any civil action instituted to collect the Indebtedness, or any part thereof or any deficiency remaining unpaid Item Number: 4.
14 after foreclosure and sale of the Mortgaged Property, any statute or rule of law at any time existing to the contrary notwithstanding.

City of Desert Hot Springs
City Council
AGENDA ITEM REPORT
To: City Council
Date: March 18, 2025
Department: City Manager
Prepared by: Christina Newsom, Acting Deputy City Manager Subject: Camping Restrictions Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Adopt (by 4/5 vote of the City Council) and read by title only: "An URGENCY Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Desert Hot Springs, California, amending Chapter 12.04 "Camping Restrictions" of the Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code ("DHSMC");" AND 2) Introduce for First Reading and read by title only: "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Desert Hot Springs, California, amending Chapter 12.04 "Camping Restrictions" of the Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code ("DHSMC").
BACKGROUND:
The United States Supreme Court issued a landmark judgment in Grants Pass v. Johnson on June 28, 2024. This ruling, among other things, established that the Eighth Amendment does not prevent cities from enforcing laws regulating camping on public property, a decision of significant importance to our community.
In response to the Grants Pass decision, Governor Newsom issued an executive order that directed state agencies and departments to establish explicit policies that urgently addressed encampments.
The order also encouraged local agencies to take proactive measures to remove the encampments.
The City expects more encampments to form due to the Governor's Executive Order, which requires state authorities to eradicate unsafe encampments quickly. Closures are forcing encampments to move from nearby cities and places. For instance, Caltrans has begun cleaning encampments on the freeway's on/off approaches, expanding City encampments. The State has encouraged local agencies to remove unsafe encampments and pledged to hold them accountable. The State's tightening and enforcement of local jurisdictions' fair share of housing planning obligations and conditional state financing on rigorous reporting and verifiable performance indicators indicate this commitment.
In encampments, unhoused individuals are subjected to unsanitary conditions, inclement weather, predatory and criminal behavior, and widespread substance use. The cleanliness and usability of parks and other public resources and the safety and viability of local enterprises and neighborhoods are also at risk. These encampments have harmed the environment and city facilities. These encampments and other accommodations are unsanitary for residents and visitors due to public feces, urination, and other unclean conditions.
Item Number: 5.
SR-24-232
In 2023, the City established an Unhoused Access Center known as "The HUB" to accommodate individuals living in hazardous encampments. However, the process of relocating individuals from the public right of ways and public spaces to the HUB has remained challenging. The City has observed increased criminality associated with encampments, and the number of individuals residing in encampments and public spaces remains high. Additionally, the risk of vacant structure fires and public safety concerns increase if individuals live in encampments rather than accept services at The HUB.
PROCEDURE:
This item has two similar ordinances: 1) an Urgency Ordinance Amending Chapter 12.04 "Camping Restrictions" of the Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code, and 2) a Non-Urgency Ordinance Amending Chapter 12.04 "Camping Restrictions" of the Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code. This Urgency Ordinance needs a 4/5 vote of the Council, needs to be supported by findings(which are included in the Urgency Ordinance), and takes effect immediately. That said, the non-urgency ordinance is like any other ordinance, which requires a majority vote and takes effect 30 days after its second reading.
This two-pronged approach is commonly practiced as a belts and suspenders approach.
DISCUSSION:
Implementing measures to establish procedures that regulate these encampments is essential to guarantee the public's safety, health, welfare, and harmony.
If adopted, the ordinance would establish the following regulations:
Defining specific terms related to homelessness, camping, and encampments. Instituting regulations for:
o Unauthorized encampments and sleeping on public property. o The abatement of encampments.
o The protection of waterways
o Enforcement and penalties for violations
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
In accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), this project is Categorically Exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section No. 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of this Ordinance in question may have a significant effect on the environment.
ATTACHMENTS:
1) URGENCY Anti-Camping Ordinance
2) NON-URGENCY Anti-Camping Ordinance

ORDINANCE NO. ___
AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DESERT HOT SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA AMENDING CHAPTER 12.04 “CAMPING RESTRICTIONS” OF THE DESERT HOT SPRINGS MUNICIPAL CODE (“DHSMC”)
WHEREAS, the City of Desert Hot Springs (“City”) is a charter city organized pursuant to Article XI of the California Constitution; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority granted the City by Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, the City has the police power to regulate the use of land and property within the City in a manner designed to promote public convenience and general prosperity, as well as public health, welfare and safety; and
WHEREAS, on June 28, 2024, the United States Supreme Court issued its ruling in Grants Pass v. Johnson, which, among other things, held that the Eighth Amendment does not prohibit cities from enforcing laws regulating camping on public property; and WHEREAS, following the Grants Pass decision, Governor Newsom issued an executive order directing state agencies and departments to adopt clear policies that urgently address encampments, and encouraging local agencies to take proactive steps to remove the same; and
WHEREAS, The City expects an increase in the number of encampments that will be established in the City as a result of the Governor's Executive Order, which mandates that state agencies promptly begin the process of clearing dangerous encampments. This is due to the fact that encampments are being relocated from neighboring cities and areas as a result of closures. For instance, Caltrans has initiated the process of clearing encampments on the on/off approaches of the freeway, which has already resulted in the expansion and/or expansion of encampments within the City. The State has not only urged local agencies to take proactive steps to remove such dangerous encampments but has also confirmed its commitment to holding local jurisdictions accountable for reducing encampments. This commitment is demonstrated by the State's strengthening and enforcement of requirements that local jurisdictions plan for their fair share of housing and by conditioning state funding on rigorous reporting and measurable performance metrics.
WHEREAS, In accordance with the provisions of California Government Code section 36937, subdivision (b), the City Council has determined that the provisions provided herein are essential for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, or peace within the City. The health, safety, and well-being of unhoused individuals residing in encampments are adversely affected by unsanitary conditions, extreme weather, predatory and criminal activity, and widespread substance use, among other things. Additionally, the safety and viability of nearby businesses and neighborhoods are jeopardized, and the cleanliness and usability of parks and other public resources are undermined. The City of Desert Hot Springs has been particularly affected by flooding as a result of the presence of encampments in flood zones and other flood-sensitive areas. These encampments have Item Number: 5.
already caused damage to the environment and city facilities. Additionally, the presence of public defecation and public urination, as well as other unhygienic conditions at these encampments and other facilities, results in unsanitary conditions for both the occupants and visitors.
WHEREAS, in 2023, the City established an emergency overnight shelter, “the HUB” to offer accommodations to individuals residing in hazardous encampments. Nevertheless, the process of relocating individuals from public right of ways and public spaces to the HUB has continued to be difficult. The City has observed a rise in the number of individuals residing in encampments and public spaces, which has resulted in a rise in crime associated with encampments. Furthermore, the risk of vacant structure fires and public safety increases as the winter months approach, if individuals continue to reside in encampments rather than the HUB.
WHEREAS, It is imperative to take immediate action in order to establish procedures that regulate these encampments and to ensure the public's safety, health, welfare, and harmony.
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that it is essential to act with urgency to address dangerous encampments. These encampments subject individuals living in them to unsanitary conditions, extreme weather, predatory and criminal activity, and widespread substance use, among other things, thereby harming their health, safety, and well-being.
Additionally, these encampments threaten the safety and viability of nearby businesses and neighborhoods and undermine the cleanliness and usability of parks and other public resources; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that this Ordinance should be adopted on an urgency basis pursuant to the authority in Government Code section 36937(b) which provides that an ordinance passed by the City Council takes effect "immediately" if it is passed by a four-fifths vote of the City Council "for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health or safety" and contains "a declaration of facts constituting the urgency."; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Desert Hot Springs as follows:

ORDINANCE NO. ___
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DESERT HOT SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA AMENDING CHAPTER 12.04 “CAMPING RESTRICTIONS” OF THE DESERT HOT SPRINGS MUNICIPAL CODE (“DHSMC”)
WHEREAS, the City of Desert Hot Springs (“City”) is a charter city organized pursuant to Article XI of the California Constitution; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority granted the City by Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, the City has the police power to regulate the use of land and property within the City in a manner designed to promote public convenience and general prosperity, as well as public health, welfare and safety; and
WHEREAS, on June 28, 2024, the United States Supreme Court issued its ruling in Grants Pass v. Johnson, which, among other things, held that the Eighth Amendment does not prohibit cities from enforcing laws regulating camping on public property; and WHEREAS, following the Grants Pass decision, Governor Newsom issued an executive order directing state agencies and departments to adopt clear policies that urgently address encampments, and encouraging local agencies to take proactive steps to remove the same; and
WHEREAS, The City expects an increase in the number of encampments that will be established in the City as a result of the Governor's Executive Order, which mandates that state agencies promptly begin the process of clearing dangerous encampments. This is due to the fact that encampments are being relocated from neighboring cities and areas as a result of closures. For instance, Caltrans has initiated the process of clearing encampments on the on/off approaches of the freeway, which has already resulted in the expansion and/or expansion of encampments within the City. The State has not only urged local agencies to take proactive steps to remove such dangerous encampments but has also confirmed its commitment to holding local jurisdictions accountable for reducing encampments. This commitment is demonstrated by the State's strengthening and enforcement of requirements that local jurisdictions plan for their fair share of housing and by conditioning state funding on rigorous reporting and measurable performance metrics.
WHEREAS, In accordance with the provisions of California Government Code section 36937, subdivision (b), the City Council has determined that the provisions provided herein are essential for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, or peace within the City. The health, safety, and well-being of unhoused individuals residing in encampments are adversely affected by unsanitary conditions, extreme weather, predatory and criminal activity, and widespread substance use, among other things. Additionally, the safety and viability of nearby businesses and neighborhoods are jeopardized, and the cleanliness and usability of parks and other public resources are undermined. The City of Desert Hot Springs has been particularly affected by flooding as a result of the presence of encampments in flood zones and other flood-sensitive areas. These encampments have Item Number: 5.
already caused damage to the environment and city facilities. Additionally, the presence of public defecation and public urination, as well as other unhygienic conditions at these encampments and other facilities, results in unsanitary conditions for both the occupants and visitors.
WHEREAS, in 2023, the City established an emergency overnight shelter, “the HUB” to offer accommodations to individuals residing in hazardous encampments. Nevertheless, the process of relocating individuals from public right of ways and public spaces to the HUB has continued to be difficult. The City has observed a rise in the number of individuals residing in encampments and public spaces, which has resulted in a rise in crime associated with encampments. Furthermore, the risk of vacant structure fires and public safety increases as the winter months approach, if individuals continue to reside in encampments rather than the HUB.
WHEREAS, It is imperative to take immediate action in order to establish procedures that regulate these encampments and to ensure the public's safety, health, welfare, and harmony.
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that it is essential to act with urgency to address dangerous encampments. These encampments subject individuals living in them to unsanitary conditions, extreme weather, predatory and criminal activity, and widespread substance use, among other things, thereby harming their health, safety, and well-being.
Additionally, these encampments threaten the safety and viability of nearby businesses and neighborhoods and undermine the cleanliness and usability of parks and other public resources; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that this Ordinance should be adopted on an urgency basis pursuant to the authority in Government Code section 36937(b) which provides that an ordinance passed by the City Council takes effect "immediately" if it is passed by a four-fifths vote of the City Council "for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health or safety" and contains "a declaration of facts constituting the urgency."; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Desert Hot Springs as follows:

City Council
AGENDA ITEM REPORT
To: City Council
Date: March 18, 2025
Department: City Council
Prepared by: Travis Clark, Community Development Director Subject: 2024 Housing Element Annual Progress Report
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Adopt a Resolution of the City Council adopting the Housing Element Annual Progress Report, which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”, incorporated herein; AND 2) Authorize staff to submit the APR to the California Office of Planning and Research and to Housing and Community Development.
BACKGROUND:
State law requires cities to update their General Plan Housing Element on an eight (8) year cycle.
City Council adopted the Housing Element in November, 2022. It was then sent to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for their review and certification. On January 12th, 2023, the City received approval from HCD for the adopted Housing Element, finding it in full compliance with State Housing Element Law (Article 10.6 of the Gov. Code). The current planning cycle (6th Cycle) for the Housing Element runs from 2021 through 2029.
Per Government Code Section 65400(b), the City is required to provide an annual report to HCD and to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) regarding the implementation of the General Plan’s Housing Element and how the City is meeting the housing needs for the community.
The Housing Element Annual Progress Report (HE APR) is a tool used by HCD and OPR to track and monitor the City’s progress in addressing the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). This report includes the number of housing units permitted by type and income level, the status of the permits, the status of programs in the Housing Element, and efforts to remove governmental constraints and barriers to provide more housing. Attached is the 2024 Housing Element Annual Progress Report covering the 2024 calendar year.
DISCUSSION:
In the APR, the City is required to report on all housing unit development activity in calendar year 2024 using the spreadsheet provided by HCD (attached). Data is reported on how many applications were made (entitled), permits issued after plan review, and units completed i.e. passed final inspection by the Building Division.

Completed 122 158 91
The City entitled fewer housing units in 2024 than 2023, permitted about the same number, and completed fewer. In addition to infill housing, construction continued on these four (4) Planning Commission approved projects:
Rancho Descanso - 76 homes
Aventura Palms I - 34 homes
Skyborne, Village 3 - 286 homes
Eagle Point - 10 homes
62 units of the 136 permitted units are identified as infill housing in 2024. This is a good percentage of the total housing units permitted and represents strength in the market for infill housing. Infill housing helps to improve the City's older neighborhoods by eliminating vacant lots which can attract blight..

The State defines affordable housing as a housing unit with a restriction in place to ensure the housing unit is occupied by a lower-income household. The city received two (2) applications for affordable housing developments in 2024. The Crossings at Camino Campanero with 64 units and the Park Lane Homes with 167 units. These projects are going through planning review and are expected to be presented to the Planning Commission in the spring of 2025 for entitlement approval.
Once approved, they would count towards the RHNA goals in the 2025 APR and improve the City's number of affordable housing units entitled in the current cycle.
The City teamed with Riverside County Housing and Workforce Solutions on the First Time Homebuyer Program, the Down Payment Assistance Program, and the Home Enhancement Program. City staff also participated in the selection of the developer for the Riverside County affordable housing site behind the library.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The state has determined that CEQA does not apply to the approval of ministerial projects. CEQA does not apply to the subject matter of the proposed Housing Element APR since it is not considered a project.
