Palm Canyon, Unit 309 Contributor in Historic District 05/23/2024 25210 267 Twin Palms Drive Contributor in Historic District 02/03/2010 22657 Pursuant to California Government Code Sections 50280 – 50290, upon the application of an owner of any qualified historic property, the legislative body of a city may contract with the owner or agent to restrict the use of the property to carry out the purposes and goals of historic preservation of the property. Such a contract is commonly referred to as a “Mills Act Agreement” and it provides for possible alternative property tax rate calculations in exchange for the ongoing preservation and maintenance of the property, specifically its historically significant elements and characteristics.

California Government Code Section 50280.1 denotes that properties are eligible for a Mills Act contract if listed in a state, city, or county official register of historic sites. Both properties were locally designated and listed on the local inventory of historic places and qualify to apply for a Mills Act Contract. The draft Historic Property Preservation Agreements for each property are included as Attachment D to this report and specify details regarding restoration and/or maintenance of the four historic properties.

Aerial maps showing the location and context of each property and photographs of the exterior elevation are included below.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, DESIGNATING THE

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS RESOLVES:

SECTION 1: FINDINGS RELATIVE TO THE CRITERIA FOR THE DESIGNATION OF HISTORIC DISTRICTS.

Evaluation of the Application. Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 8.05.090 (C, 1 ), the Item 1K - Page 9
Resolution No. 2521 O
Page2 of9
City Council shall evaluate the application and make findings in conformance with the following criteria:

1. Criteria and Findings for Designation of Historic Districts. The proposed district and contributing resources located therein exhibit exceptional historic significance and meet one or more of the criteria listed below:

The report identifies the exterior of Ocotillo Lodge as a largely intact example of a MidCentury Modern hotel, which has since been converted to a condominium complex.

Designed by Palmer and Krise!, the complex exhibits character-defining features of the Modern Movement through the use of site planning, building form and material selection, but it also visualizes the development trends of Palm Springs during that period. The report also references the landscape architect Garrett Eckbo and his contributions to the project.
(Criterion a) Is associated with events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state, or community;
No information was provided indicating any significant event was directly associated with this site. The site does not qualify under Criterion a.

I
(Criterion b) Is associated with the lives of persons who made a meaningful 1 contribution to national, state, or local history; The report does not call out any individuals associated with the property who made any meaningful contribution to national, state, or local history. The site does not qualify under Criterion b.
(Criterion c) Reflects or exemplifies a particular period of national, state, or local history;
During the post-World War II period in Palm Springs, there was a growing demand for single-family residential homes and housing for seasonal residents. Local developers like the Alexander Construction Company developed residential tracts to meet this need, and the Ocotillo Lodge was constructed, in part, to house potential homebuyers while the homes were being built. The different unit types designed for the Ocotillo Lodge showcase the modern aesthetic that would mirror significant features in the homes that would be constructed in the Twin Palms tract. The units at the Ocotillo Lodge also catered to differing privacy and livability needs for both short and long-term visitors to the area. Staff finds the site qualifies as a historic resource under Criterion c by reflecting the local history of development and design shift in architectural style. (Criterion d) Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction; I
Item 1K - Page 10

Resolution No. 25210

Page 3 of 9 ends

Unlike the National Register criterion concerning construction, the Palm Springs evaluation of construction addresses the type (of construction), the period (of construction) and the method (of construction). Conventional construction methods and materials were used to develop this complex. The HRR goes into detail regarding the use of steel I-beams for the lobby building (identified as Building 1A) to create the expansive wall of concave windows. While the use of the steel beams allowed the glass in the south elevation to be configured in a unique way and what was known as the "Candlewood Room" to slightly cantilever over the area containing the swimming pool, the invention and use of the steel I-beam for structural framing date further back than the 1950s. Staff finds the method and techniques used were not new to the period; therefore, contrary to the report, staff does not find the project qualifies for this.criterion. (Criterion e) Presents the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect whose individual genius influenced his age, or that possesses high artistic value; Architects Palmer and Krisel are credited for designing the Ocotillo Lodge and the prolific developers Alexander Construction built the complex. It was also noted in the report that the influential landscape architect Garrett Eckbo designed the original landscape features and that certain signature elements were considered physical representations of his theories. Each of the individuals that came together to design and develop this property have a level of influence in their respective fields, especially in the local context of Palm Springs. Their works are celebrated and continue to highly influence the field today.

Ocotillo Lodge is a rare example where these three highly regarded masters collaborated on a single project, thus staff finds the project qualifies under Criterion e. (Criterion f) Represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction, as used in evaluating applications for designation of historic districts, for parcels on which more than one entity exists; or
The structures and features within the proposed boundaries of the district may not independently possess historic distinction, however, as a collective the proposed district embodies the development history of Palm Springs and how existing structures were adapted for the population growth of full-time residents and the architectural trends that appealed to the people during that time. Thus, the proposed district also qualifies under Criterion f.
(Criterion g) Has yielded or may be likely to yield information important to national, state or local history or prehistory.

No information has been provided on any pre-historic significance of the site.

SECTION 2: PART "C" ANALYSIS OF HISTORIC INTEGRITY.

Analysis oflntegrity. (PSMC 8.05.090 (C,2). The site, structure, Item 1K - Page 11
Resolution No. 25210
Page4 of9
building, or object retains one or more of the following aspects of integrity, as established in the Secretary of the Interiors Standards: integrity of design, materials, workmanship, location, setting, feeling, or association.

Beginning on page 49 of the report is an evaluation of the site relative to the seven aspects or qualities of historic integrity, as recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. The seven aspects or qualities include location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. The report concludes that the site retains a high degree of integrity and is further analyzed below:

1. Location:

The buildings, the configuration of parking, and open community spaces remain in their historic location, therefore, the proposed district retains its integrity of location.

2. Design:

The one and two-story structures are arranged on the site creating a hierarchy of buildings which seem to respond to the adjacent street conditions: the two-story building facing East Palm Canyon Drive and the clusters of one-story units face the neighborhood roads.

Vehicular circulation, including parking, is concentrated to the periphery of the site and the internal circulation consists of concrete pathways encouraging pedestrian use.

I
The one-story units were arranged in two different clusters around the central open space I containing the keyhole-shaped pool. The report identifies the one-story clusters as "villa bungalows" and "courtyard bungalows". The "villa bungalows" comprise of 25 units and are arranged in a grid pattern, while the "courtyard bungalows" consist of 56 units that are clustered in a checkered pattern. The layout of the buildings allows for each unit to have their own private patio space and access to walkways that ultimately connect back to the central community space. The buildings all utilize a similar architectural language that exhibit modernism principles by using simple geometric forms, flat roots, exposed wooden beams, square concrete block walls, large expanses of glass walls, ribbon and/or clerestory windows, and simple line details with no ornamentation.

No original landscape files were found but the report confirms Garrett Eckbo's involvement in the project and credits the landscaping features around the main pool and the geometry of curves and angles found in the paving to him based on an interview with the architect. Other examples of his work help support this claim.

The building forms, the use of simple details and largely the site design are critical components of the design that largely remain; therefore, staff finds the design integrity is intact.

3. Setting:

According to the historic resources report, the property was constructed with an intent to I Item 1K - Page 12

house potential buyers of single-family homes that were being built in the adjacent Twin Palms tract just north of the property. As seen in the historic aerial images from 1965 and 1972 (Attachment B of the HRR), the lots directly east and west of the property along E.

Palm Canyon Drive were vacant. Currently those areas are zoned with differing degrees of residential and commercial uses but the original setting between Ocotillo Lodge and the Twin Palms subdivision remains intact.

4. Materials:

The building materials consist of smo_oth plaster or stucco finished walls, T1-11 siding, masonry block walls, extruded wooden beams and fascia details, aluminum-framed windows and doors, and concrete pathways. It appears that some original exterior material was replaced and there are areas of deterioration that need to be addressed but a majority of the original material remains. The overall integrity of materials is intact.

5. Workmanship:

Conventional construction methods and building materials were used for this development. Readily available materials such as concrete blocks were used to reinforce clean lines and the extrusion of blocks on the screen walls created a decorative pattern to highlight certain areas. Various repairs and changes have been made to individual units over time, however, the overall aesthetic was respected and changes that are less sympathetic appear reversable. The use of concrete square blocks down to the fascia details demonstrates a level of attention to detail and workmanship by the original designers. Staff finds enough integrity of workmanship remains on site.

6. Feeling:

The original design focused on the pedestrian experience by leaving the vehicles behind and immersing the visitors/residents into a network of walkable concreate paths. Each unit retains private courtyard spaces, and the main swimming pool retains its focal presence on the site ·as a space for community gathering. The feeling of leisure desert retreat remains on the site because all the private and communal spaces remain in their original configuration; therefore, staff finds the integrity of feeling remains intact.

7. Association:

The existing condition of the property maintains a physically recognizable association with the post World War II development in Palm Springs and the major design components of the site design and individual buildings are closely associated with the architects Palmer, Krisel and Eckbo. The integrity of association remains intact.

SECTION 3: DEFINING HISTORIC CHARACTERISTICS
In considering a recommendation for historic resource designation it is important to distinguish those physical elements that are original or from the period of significance that Item 1K - Page 13
Resolution No. 25210
Page6 of9
contribute to the resource's historic significance from alterations, additions or features that were added at a later time that may be sympathetic to the original character, but I which may create a false sense of historicity. Distinguishing original character-defining features from non-origir:ial elements aids the HSPB when it is tasked with evaluating future alterations to the historic resource.

The following is a list of character-defining features identified by the City Council:

Character-defining features listed below and more clearly referenced in Exhibit A:
• Site design and building cluster configurations on the lot around the central focal point of the main swimming pool shaped like a keyhole
• Internal network of concrete pathways including the curved and angular geometry of the pavement credited to Garrett Eckbo
• Parking and vehicular circulation configuration around the perimeter of the property.
• One and two-story horizontal massing and simple geometric forms • Grid-like layout or clustered units arranged around the swimming pool and articulated by four-unit bungalows
• Keyhole-shaped pool within the open community space south of the lobby building
• Painted masonry block screen walls with articulation on the north (front) and south (rear) elevations of the lobby building (identified as Building 1A in the HRR) • Distinctive semi-circular plan and concave windows in the "Candlewood Room" (identified as the south portion of Building 1A in the HRR) • Monumental porte cochere entry with restored Ocotillo Lodge signage (excluding the square notched archway in the porte cochere)
• Flat roofs that have wide overhanging eaves and cantilevered canopies • Fascia details that hide the electrical conduit
• Expressed post-and-beam construction using wood and steel members • Interior/exterior connections expressed through glass walls, the continuation of exposed beams and tongue-and-groove ceiling details to the exterior • Integration of private patios and semi-private decks for each unit • Unadorned smooth plaster or stucco-finished wall surfaces • Square concrete block walls in a stack bond pattern
• Flush-mounted aluminum-framed ribbon windows, clerestory windows, and glass sliding doors that span from floor to ceiling
• "Sun flap" of suspended concrete panels shading concave curtain wall • T1-11 wood siding on storage spaces and patio dividers for second floor units • Exposed pebble aggregate concrete stair treads in steel pipe column stairwells leading to the second floor units
• Glass walls incorporating sliding glass doors
• Glass walls with double glass doors at porte cochere wall of lobby • Landscape design features around the main pool by Garrett Eckbo and tall Washingtonia palms throughoutthe complex
• Curved cabana and restroom structure with trellis south of the keyhole-shaped I

pool designed by Garrett Eckbo (removed)
Non-contributing elements:
• Pool fencing installed around the keyhole-shaped swimming pool • Metal security gates at various entry points to the site • Metal screen security doors in front of entry doors on the units facing East Twin Palms Drive
• Metal mesh screening on stair railings
• Metal fence along the curved strip of grass where the original curved cabana/trellis was located south of the keyhole-shaped pool

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, DESIGNATING THE

ROYAL HAWAIIAN ESTATES CONDOMINIUM LOCATED
AT 1774 S. PALM CANYON DRIVE AS A HISTORIC
DISTRICT.

WHEREAS, Chapter 8.05 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code allows for the establishment of historic districts; and
WHEREAS, on August 25, 2009, the representative of the Royal Hawaiian Estates Condominium Homeowners Association, Bill Lewallen, filed an application requesting a historic district be established for the condominium development; and WHEREAS, notice of a public hearing of the Historic Site Preservation Board of the City of Palm Springs to consider designation of the subject property as a Class 1 historic site was issued in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, on November 10, 2009, Board voted 5 to 2 (Grattan and Strahl opposed) to recommend that the City Council establish a historic district for the condominium development; and
WHEREAS, on February 3, 2010, the City Council conducted a public hearing, following notification in the manner prescribed by law, at which hearing the Council received a staff report, associated exhibits and historical research, and written and oral testimony; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed and considered all of the evidence in connection with the proposed district, including but not limited to the staff report, application and historical research, and all written and oral testimony presented.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. That the proposed historic district is Categorically Exempt from environmental review, in accordance with Section 15331 (Historical Resources Restoration/Rehabilitation) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as the proposed historic district meets the conditions outlined for preservation of a historic resource.

SECTION 2. That the proposed Royal Hawaiian Estates Condominium Historic District conforms to the definition of a historic district, as contained in Section

8.05.020.b of the Palm Springs Municipal Code, because the proposed district meets the following findings of Section 8.05.020.a:

Item 1K - Page 19
Resolution No. 22657

Page 2 ends

1. The properties reflect and exemplify a particular period of the national, state or local history, because the Royal Hawaiian Estates' unique architectural detailing is an excellent example of its type, period, and method of construction. The complex completed in two phases in 1961 and 1962, as designed by architects Wexler and Harrison reflects one of the Desert Modern styles, as applied to multi-family development in Palm Springs in the early 1960's. The architects' successful and unique interpretation of Polynesian architectural forms in an International Style, along with their use of bold color and geometric shapes and forms adds to the importance of these buildings. Defining historic characteristics of the buildings include:
a. Exaggerated gables over the ends of the buildings.
b. Projecting slanted ridge beams.
c. Elaborately detailed wooden Tiki-Style elements.
d. Triangular clerestory windows and vaulted ceilings.
e. Large stylized "Outrigger", "Flying Sevens".
f. Orange painted cement plaster triangle as part of "outriggers". g. Wood diagonal siding.
h. Natural rock building walls.
i. Concrete block screen at pool painted orange.
j. Tiki-Style statues and stone carvings.

2. The properties embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction, because the Royal Hawaiian Estates condominium complex was built over a two year period and remains largely intact: All twelve buildings and the surrounding site retain the look of their original design and construction. The Desert Polynesia time period which took root in the early sixties was one of several modern design themes that advanced the idea of indoor/ outdoor living possibilities in Palm Springs. The Desert Polynesian style was short-lived, but resulted in the unique architectural elements of the Royal Hawaiian Estates.

3. The properties present the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect whose individual genius influenced his age; or that possesses high artistic value, because the Royal Hawaiian Estates present the work of one of Palm Springs' (and the Coachella Valley's) most prolific and accomplished architectural team of Donald Wexler and Rick Harrison. Wexler and Harrison's skills as architects in the early 1960's are clearly reflected in the condominium development which is a good example of contemporary Polynesian- influenced design concepts. The complex is one of the few remaining Tiki-Style buildings in Palm Springs and is of importance as an example of this architectural style as designed by a master architect and builder.

SECTION 4. That the Royal Hawaiian Estates Condominium, including twelve multi-unit residential buildings and all associated landscaping and grounds are hereby established as the Royal Hawaiian Estates Historic District, subject to the following conditions:

Item 1K - Page 20
Resolution No. 22657

Page 3 ends

1. The property owner shall permit the City to place at 177 4 S. Palm Canyon Drive a historic marker of the City's choosing. The marker shall be placed in a location visible from the public right-of-way. The owner shall maintain the marker in the location installed and pay for the replacement cost if the plaque is lost, stolen, or otherwise removed from the property.

2. That the City Clerk shall submit the Council Resolution to the County recorder for recordation within 90 days of the effective date of this resolution.

3. Any alterations or modifications to the exterior approved prior to the designation of this site by the City Council shall be deemed acceptable.

SECTION 5. That all structures and site landscaping of the Royal Hawaiian Estates Condominiums site are hereby designated "contributing structures" of the Royal Hawaiian Estates Historic District, and are therefore subject to the following conditions.

4. All future modifications to all contributing structures and site features, including but not limited to building, landscaping, lighting, walls, and fences shall require Architectural Approval pursuant to Section 94.04.00 of the Palm Springs Zoning Ordinance and HSPB review pursuant Municipal Code Ordinance 8.05.180.

5. No permit shall be issued for the alteration of the landscaping or building exterior, including any and all of the defining elements and characteristics without prior approval by the Historic Site Preservation Board.

Dear Ms. Yoon,
We are requesting your consideration of our property at 267 E Twin Palms Drive, part of the historic Royal Hawaiian Estates, for Mills Act approval. We have taken great care in restoring both the interior and exterior of the property and wish to continue making improvements.

The interior renovations we’ve made were featured in the November 2020 design issue of Palm Springs Life magazine. Nearly every surface of the interior has been thoughtfully refinished to reflect the vibrant and historically significant design of the property. All of the original flooring has been exposed and polished, and thematic and period-specific wallpapers were installed in almost every room. As much as we would have wished to restore the original fixtures in the kitchen and bathrooms, those areas had been redone by previous owners, so we took care to make modern updates that better reflect the unique design intent of the original Wexler-Harrison architects.

In 2021, we undertook a comprehensive renovation and restoration of the exterior spaces of the unit. The work included a complete re-cutting and pouring of both the public-facing and private concrete patios and walkways to bring them closer to the original design. New landscaping was designed and installed to align with the community’s historic plant and materials palette.

We’ve been happy to invest in the restoration of our property and hope that with the tax incentives provided through the Mills Act, we can continue by restoring the distinctive “teeth” and “outrigger” architectural details to the street-facing roofline of our unit, which, along with the “Flying Sevens,” create the distinctive and architecturally significant look of our historic community.

The Royal Hawaiian Estates community was designated as a Class 1 historic site by the Palm Springs City Council in 2010. With the tax incentives provided by the Mills Act, we intend to continue investing in what makes our community a special part of the city’s unique architectural heritage.

Thank you for your consideration of our application. All required documents are enclosed as PDFs. Please reach out if you have any questions.

Respectfully,

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: OCTOBER 22, 2025 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: A REQUEST BY HTOI, LLC, FOR A RESOLUTION OF PUBLIC

CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY (PCN) TO SELL BEER AND WINE FOR OFF-SITE CONSUMPTION (TYPE 20 – OFF-SALE BEER & WINE) AT A

NEW GROCERY STORE, PALM ASIA, WHICH WILL BE LOCATED AT
127 EAST AMADO ROAD (APN: 513-091-017), ZONE CBD, SECTION 15 (CASE PCN-2025-0002)
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Department of Planning Services
SUMMARY:

The applicant has initiated the application process for a California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) liquor license for a new grocery store, Palm Asia. The project site is located within a Census tract which is identified by the ABC as an area of undue concentration of liquor licenses. The applicant is therefore requesting that the City Council make a determination of public convenience or necessity for the sale of beer and wine for off-site consumption purposes at the site.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. _____, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, DETERMINING THAT PUBLIC! CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY WOULD BE SERVED BY THE ISSUANCE! OF A TYPE 20 (OFF-SALE BEER & WINE) ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL! LICENSE AT A NEW GROCERY STORE, PALM ASIA, WHICH WILL BE! LOCATED AT 127 EAST AMADO ROAD WITHIN CENSUS TRACT NO.! 446.06.”
BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:

Public Integrity Disclosure Forms are attached to this staff report (Attachment C).

Item 1L - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
October 22, 2025 -- Page 2
Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity - PCN-2025-0002 BACKGROUND:

The applicant is requesting a determination of public convenience or necessity for a Type 20 liquor license for the sale of beer and wine at a proposed grocery store, Palm Asia.

As provided in the Justification Letter (Attachment F), the size of the grocery store is 1,900 SF. According to the applicant, the business’ main product will be prepackaged food items such as ready-made sushi, and alcoholic beverages will make up approximately 30% of the business’ product inventory. The floor plan (Attachment G) indicates that alcoholic beverages will be stored in a designated cooler which will be located in the rear area of the store, and the business also plans to secure alcoholic beverages with a retail gate or locked cabinets/display cases as stated in the Justification Letter.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) requires a Type 20 (OffSale Beer & Wine) liquor license for the proposed beer and wine sales for off-site consumption purposes at the proposed grocery store, as well as the determination of Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN) due to undue concentration of liquor licenses within the Census tract in which the site is located. The ABC identifies the Type 20 liquor license as follows:
“Issued to retail stores. Authorizes the sale of beer and wine for consumption off the premises where sold. Minors are allowed on the premises.”
The second paragraph of Section 23958 of the State of California Business and Professions Code states that the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) is required to “…deny an application for a license if issuance of that license would tend to create a law enforcement problem, or if issuance would result in or add to an undue concentration of licenses, except as provided in Section 23958.4.” Section 23958.4(a)(3) of the Code defines undue concentration as follows:
“As to off-sale retail license applications, the ratio of off-sale retail licenses to population in the census tract or census division in which the applicant premises are located exceeds the ratio of off-sale retail licenses to population in the county in which the applicant premises are located.” The Section further states that a license may nevertheless be issued in an area of undue concentration when “…the local governing body of the area in which the applicant premises are located, or its designated subordinate officer or body, determines within 90 days of notification of a completed application that public convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance.” (State of California Business and Professions Code, Section 23958.4(b)(2).

Item 1L - Page 2
City Council Staff Report
October 22, 2025 -- Page 3
Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity - PCN-2025-0002 The project site is located within Census Tract No. 446.06, which is generally identified as the area between the west side of Indian Canyon Drive and the east side of Via Monte Vista between East Ramon Road and Tramway Road. A majority of the tract is located outside the City boundary (Attachment E). According to the ABC liquor license application (Attachment D), only one (1) Type 20 liquor license would be allowed in this particular tract; given its location in the City’s downtown core, 10 licenses have been issued. Hence, the applicant is requesting a determination of public convenience or necessity from the City Council to allow ABC to issue a liquor license for the sale of beer and wine in conjunction with the operation of the grocery store, notwithstanding the undue concentration in the Census tract.

The Justification Letter (Attachment F) states that the grocery store is a “specialty mini snack market” which will be offering a variety of products such as ready-made sushi, Asian snacks, fresh produce and dairy, sundries, household items, in addition to alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The Justification Letter further states that the business will be “…offering both convenience and cultural diversity to meet the needs of residents, office workers, and visitors who seek quick meal options along with the ability to purchase beverages for home consumption…” Additionally, the business’ ability to sell beer and wine will “…reduce the need for customers to make additional trips to other locations, saving time and promoting safe, local shopping.” (Attachment F).

Palm Asia is a grocery store. Auxiliary sale of alcoholic beverages in connection with the operation of a grocery store for off-site consumption purposes is reasonable considering the nature of the primary business. Due to its location in the Downtown district, the business will be serving a wide range of patrons such as nearby residents, office workers, and visitors, and it is vital for the business to offer a variety of products to serve the needs of different populations for its success. Allowing the alcoholic beverage sales will contribute to strengthening the area’s commercial activities, and the business will offer the convenience of “one stop shopping” to its patrons. For the reasons stated above, staff has determined that the project would serve the public convenience and necessity.

ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN:

Approval of this resolution furthers the goal of Economic Development.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

WHEREAS, Htoi, LLC has initiated the application process for a California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) license to sell beer and wine at a new grocery store, Palm Asia, which will be located at 127 East Amado Road, Census Tract No. 446.06, Zone CBD, APN: 13-091-017; and WHEREAS, The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has determined that there are ten (10) existing Type 20 licenses within Census Tract No. 446.06, while only one (1) alcohol license would be allowed based on off-sale retail licenses to population in the County in which the applicant’s premise is located; and WHEREAS, The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has determined that is the addition of the requested license would cause an “undue concentration” of alcohol-related licenses in the Census Tract No. 446.06; and WHEREAS, Pursuant to Section 23958.4(b)(2) of the State of California Business and Professions Code, the City Council may determine the public convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance of the requested license within an area of undue concentration; and
WHEREAS, Palm Asia is a grocery store. Auxiliary sale of alcoholic beverages in connection with the operation of a grocery store for off-site consumption purposes is reasonable considering the nature of the primary business. Due to its location in the Downtown district, the business will be serving a wide range of patrons such as nearby residents, office workers, and visitors, and it is vital for the business to offer a variety of products to serve the needs of different populations for its success. Allowing alcoholic beverage sales will contribute to strengthening the area’s commercial activities, and the business will offer the convenience of “one stop shopping” to its patrons.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. That the foregoing Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 2. That the public convenience and necessity would be served by the issuance of a Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) alcoholic beverage license for the sale of Item 1L - Page 8

To whom may concern,
I am requesting an ABC License Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) in connection with my business, which will offer sushi grab-and-go items and a variety of popular Asian snacks. The issuance of this license would serve the public convenience and necessity by providing the local community with a one-stop shop for fresh, highquality food and a carefully selected assortment of beer and wine.

Currently, there are few—if any—establishments in the area that combine authentic grab-and-go sushi, unique Asian snacks, and responsibly sold alcoholic beverages. Our store will fill this gap, offering both convenience and cultural variety to meet the needs of local residents, office workers, and visitors who seek quick meal options along with the ability to purchase beverages for home consumption.

By offering beer and wine in a responsible, well-managed setting, we will reduce the need for customers to make additional trips to other locations, saving time and promoting safe, local shopping. We are committed to full compliance with ABC regulations, including employee training, ID checks, and responsible alcohol sales practices.

Our business will enhance consumer choice, contribute to the local economy, and meet a clear demand not currently being met in the immediate area. For these reasons, I respectfully request that the Department approve this application in the interest of public convenience and necessity.

Warm regards,

HKAWN HTOI

Company Overview
Htoi LLC, DBA Palm Asia
Palm Asia is a specialty mini snack market that will be stocked with a variety of goods, including a sushi grab-and-go case, soda, juice, water, cigarettes, beer, wine, and sake. We plan to purchase as much of our inventory as possible from local and state businesses, supporting the Palm Springs, Coachella Valley, and California small business community and local economy.

Palm Asia will be located at 127 Amado Road, Palm Springs, CA 92262, a high-traffic area with potential for success. We will be operating in a space that is approximately t'fOOsquare feet.

PSBS is in the process of obtaining a Type
20 liquor license with plans to sell beer, wine, and sake, and other low alcohol content beverages allowed under this type of license. The approximate breakdown of inventory is as follows:
• 30% beer, wine, sake, and other low-alcohol beverages • 30% commercially packaged foods such as soda, juice, water, and cigarettes • 20% locally prepared/packaged food, e.g., pre-made sushi from the grab-and-go case
• 5% groceries such as dairy, fresh produce, and non-perishable items • 5% sundries including sunscreen, toothpaste and brushes, condoms, shampoo/conditioner, soap, etc.
• 5% paper goods such as magazines, journals/diaries, books, greeting cards • 5% housewares, picnic supplies, barware, etc.

Palm Asia will be a permanent business (not a pop-up, temporary business) and we have signed a year lease for the location.

In addition, Palm Asia plans to do the following:

• Potentially serve as a pickup point for CSA farm boxes and other local, pre-ordered goods.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: OCTOBER 22, 2025 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT NO. A9272 WITH GREATER PALM SPRINGS PRIDE, INC. AND SPONSORSHIP

RELATED TO THE ANNUAL PALM SPRINGS PRIDE FESTIVAL,

PARADE AND BLOCK PARTY
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Nicholas S. Gonzalez, Director of Parks & Recreation SUMMARY:

Approval of this action will allow the City to enter into an amendment to Agreement No.

A9272, regarding sponsorship to the Annual Palm Springs Pride Festival, Parade and Block Party with Greater Palm Springs Pride, Inc.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. Approve First Amendment to Agreement No. A9272 with Greater Palm Springs Pride, Inc., subject to final City Manager and City Attorney approval, increasing the City’s sponsorship funding to $350,000 annually for the remainder of the contract term, and reaffirming the City’s status as Presenting Sponsor.

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.

BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:

According to the Public Integrity Disclosure Form (Attachment B) Greater Palm Springs Pride, Inc., is a California nonprofit corporation and registered in the state of California.

BACKGROUND:

Since 1999, Greater Palm Springs Pride, Inc. (“Pride”), has organized, managed, and produced the annual Palm Springs Pride Festival, Parade and Block Party each November. In 2014, the event relocated from the Palm Springs Stadium area to Palm Canyon Drive, transforming into a citywide celebration that now attracts approximately 65-75% of attendees from outside the Coachella Valley. Pride week events have become one of the largest and most impactful special events in Palm Springs, drawing tens of Item 1M - Page 1
thousands of visitors and generating significant economic impact and cultural visibility for the City.

In 2022, the City Council approved a five-year agreement with Pride, committing annual sponsorship support of $125,000 through in-kind services per year through June 30, 2027.

The proposed First Amendment increases the City’s annual sponsorship amount to $350,000 annually, reflecting rising costs for public safety, maintenance, and other event services, and expands the City’s role as Presenting Sponsor with enhanced visibility and branding opportunities through the Pride Festival, Parade and Block Party.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

In 2022, the City entered into a five-year agreement with Greater Palm Springs Pride to provide in-kind support totaling $125,000 per year through City services needed to produce the Pride Week Events. Since that time, the scale, production, and associated public safety costs of the event have significantly increased.

As one of the largest events produced and hosted in Palm Springs, it is important that this event remains a safe, fun and free event for the community and visitors to enjoy. The Pride Week Events attract tourists from drive markets, day visitors, locals, national and international visitors through regional and national marketing efforts. Economic impact data shows that Pride Week tourists spend an average of $365.39 per day in Palm Springs on hotels, shopping, and dining. With an estimated 200,000 attendees, this translates to a significant economic impact of approximately $38 million for area hotels, shops, restaurants, and other local Palm Springs businesses.

Under the current agreement, the City is responsible for covering costs associated with permits, police and fire services, barricade rentals, street closure signage, portable restrooms, AMR services, and private security services, up to $125,000. In recent years, national safety concerns have led the City to implement enhanced security measures for the Pride Week Events. As a result of these additional security services, the associated costs have significantly increased.

The proposed First Amendment increases the sponsorship amount from the City to $350,000 per year, which also provides additional benefits to the City:

1. The City shall have dedicated and exclusive event recognition throughout the events, multiple event stages, and logo inclusion on sponsor signage throughout the week.

2. Speaking Opportunity: Designated City representative to speak at the Event and Supporting Events.

Item 1M - Page 2

3. Exclusive Branding: The City of Palm Springs Children's Garden.

4. Pride VIP Opening Reception: Sponsor of the annual VIP Reception, welcome by a designated City representative, and City branding stating “City of Palm Springs VIP Reception”.

It is also important to note that Pride works toward a future without discrimination, where all people have equal rights under the law. They do this by producing LGBTQ+ Pride Programs that inspire, educate, commemorate, and celebrate our community’s diversity.

The proposed First Amendment to the Agreement with Greater Palm Springs Pride is a vital step in ensuring that the Pride Week Events continue to thrive, providing economic benefits to the community and a safe, inclusive celebration for all attendees. By increasing the City’s sponsorship, the City will not only support the logistical needs of this significant event but also foster a partnership that enhances the visibility and recognition of the City of Palm Springs.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

The requested City Council action is not a “Project” as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to Section 15378(a), a “Project” means the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. According to Section 15378(b), a Project does not include: (5) Organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:

This item aligns with City Council’s Strategic Plan Broad Goals of Public Safety and Community Services, and Economic Development.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No additional general fund appropriations are being requested at this time. The City’s General Fund Budget already includes $125,000 in appropriations in the Department of Parks and Recreation. The Department of Economic Development will sponsor the event at $100,000 to help support the costs. The remaining $125,000 will be allocated from the City’s funding from PS Resorts.

Palm Springs, CA 92262
Subject: Request for Additional Funding for Greater Palm Springs Pride Festival, Block Party, and Parade
Dear Mr. Stiles,
On behalf of Greater Palm Springs Pride, we respectfully request an enhanced financial partnership from the City of Palm Springs to help offset the rapidly increasing operational costs associated with producing the annual Palm Springs Pride Festival, Block Party, and Parade.

We urge the City to view the annual Greater Palm Springs Pride event not as a cost center, but as a premier, highly profitable investment. Our events, which have become synonymous with Palm Springs, generate a $35 million direct economic impact for local businesses and critically needed sales tax revenue for the city.

Consider the data:
● Pride attracts over 200,000 visitors annually, making it the city's largest annual event and guaranteeing a significant surge in business for local hotels, restaurants, and bars. ● Pride provides unparalleled global exposure for the City of Palm Springs, reaching a worldwide audience and reinforcing the powerful message that Palm Springs is an affirming, welcoming, and inclusive destination. During this economic downturn, reaching a domestic audience the way Pride does will be a significant benefit to the City.

We strongly suggest adopting the funding model currently applied to the Palm Springs International Film Festival: providing direct cash funding and covering all in-kind city expenses.

This approach recognizes the equivalent, if not superior, economic and visibility benefits Pride brings to the city.

The contrast is stark when comparing this proven ROI to other city investments. For example, the City heavily invests in events like the recent Mongols gathering, which delivers no significant public relations, verifiable economic return, or resident benefits in exchange for the substantial municipal expenditure. Pride is a generational investment that delivers immediate and demonstrable dividends.

Item 1M - Page 46
In recent years, we have experienced a significant and ongoing increase in production fees, while city services are rising, primarily driven by heightened safety concerns and the necessary resources required to manage an event of this scale. We last met with you and Councilmember Bernstein in August of 2024 to raise these funding concerns, and the attached letter outlines the specifics of the increase. These escalating operational expenses place a considerable and unsustainable burden on our non-profit organization's ability to deliver the high-quality, impactful cultural tourism event that both residents and visitors expect.

The requested additional funding would directly contribute to covering these rising costs, ensuring we can maintain the integrity, scope, and safety of our events without compromising accessibility for our community.

We are confident that with your enhanced financial support, Greater Palm Springs Pride will continue to be a vital economic engine and anchor for Palm Springs' cultural landscape. We welcome the opportunity to discuss this request further.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Jasmine Sullivan-Waits

Palm Springs, CA 92262
RE: Request for enhanced funding to secure a vibrant future and free admission for the Palm Springs Pride Festival. The organization is losing millions by supporting a free-admission festival model.

Dear Members of the Palm Springs City Council:

The Palm Springs Pride Festival, a vibrant cornerstone of our city's LGBTQ+ community and a major tourist draw, faces a critical challenge due to rising costs. Without your support, the free admission model we cherish may be at risk. The known and trusted Greater Palm Springs Pride organization, which has organized, managed, and produced the annual Palm Springs Pride community arts, culture, and human rights event since 1986, seeks financial support of three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) to sustain and enhance Southern California’s largest free LGBTQ+ Pride event.

The City of Palm Springs has been a valued partner, providing crucial inkind support. However, with industry-wide cost increases, additional cash sponsorship is essential. This investment aligns perfectly with the City Council's goals of promoting cultural events and economic vitality.

Operating costs are 20% to 50% higher over the last several years. The City of Palm Springs has provided non-cash sponsorship in the form of in-kind services at an average annual amount of $80,000 from 2014 to 2021. In 2022, the City established a five-year non-cash in-kind sponsorship agreement for $125,000 annually. We need help. Costs are increasing at a pace that exceeds our ability to sustain a free-admission festival business model. Costs for public safety alone are 60% higher.

Insurance is doubled. Staging, sound, and lighting costs are all up 30% to 50%

We understand the city funds some programs purely to benefit the community. Council has said they don’t just fund programs because they bring in revenue or because they fill hotel rooms. We also understand that the Council believes not everything has to be tied to hard costs.

The Pride organization is losing over $2 million in revenue by providing FREE admission to residents and visitors. This request to help sustain the Free admission business model impacts residents and tourists and provides equitable access to arts and cultural tourism programming that not everyone can access.

We are grateful that the City Council provides funding assistance to eligible organizations that provide cultural and promotional events or activities that benefit the community. Our residents value and appreciate that the City Council recognizes the intrinsic value of cultural events and the role they play in enhancing and expanding the economic vitality and image of the City.

The in-kind support is meaningful. Additional cash sponsorship funding will help us better align with the immense cost of sustaining Southern California’s largest Free Pride Festival. Palm Springs Pride has proven its success in providing an accessible way for the community to connect with the city’s largest civic event, engage with social service organizations, and enjoy multiple stages of live performances while reinforcing the city's reputation of cherishing the value and dignity of all people.

The loss of admission revenue is taking a toll on this volunteer-driven organization. We don’t have a staff of one hundred or a multi-million dollar budget. We are a respected grassroots community enhancement organization that pounds the pavement for every dollar required to host the city’s annual Pride events. We are at a critical point.

By strengthening our partnership with the City of Palm Springs, we aim to solidify our longstanding relationship and be acknowledged equitably for the significant role we serve. We strive to make Palm Springs known as a diverse and welcoming community. We sincerely believe that by adjusting for industry-wide cost increases and investing in this $35 million economic revenue generator, the City of Palm Springs will benefit greatly and contribute to our community's cultural vibrancy and 2 Item 1M - Page 49

enrichment. The funding will sustain our efforts to provide accessible, engaging, diverse, and inclusive arts and culture tourism experiences for all residents and visitors.

Our vibrant LGBTQ community, allies, and visitors from around the world relish the inclusivity of Pride Week in Palm Springs.

The Palm Springs Pride Festival, a cornerstone of our city's vibrant LGBTQ+ community and a major tourist draw, faces a critical moment.

Without immediate action, free admission to the festival could be jeopardized.

Here's why this sponsorship matters:
• Preserves Free Admission: Free entry fosters inclusivity and allows everyone to experience the joy of Pride.
• Boosts Tourism: The festival attracts thousands of visitors, generating a significant economic impact for our city.
• Celebrates Diversity: Pride strengthens Palm Springs' welcoming image and celebrates the LGBTQ+ community.

Join us in securing a successful Pride celebration for all! Following the recent council meeting's precedent, a similar allocation can ensure this beloved event remains free and open to all.

Let's work together to make Pride a resounding success! Warmly,

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: OCTOBER 22, 2025 PUBLIC HEARING
SUBJECT: AN APPLICATION BY SUNRISE LANAI COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION FOR HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGNATION OF THE “DESERT LANAI I” LOCATED AT 1701-1749 EAST TACHEVAH DRIVE, HSPB #164 / HD-12 FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Department of Planning Services
SUMMARY:

Desert Lanai I was the first phase of a multi-family residential development completed in 1961. The Sunrise Lanai Community Association is requesting historic district designation of the six detached structures, containing a total of 22 individual units, designed by architect Charles Du Bois. The period of significance for this proposed district is identified as 1960-1961. This request for district designation was initiated by the Sunrise Lanai Community Association with the support of 82% of property owners. If designated as a historic district, the property would be subject to the regulations outlined in Section 8.05 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code (PSMC).

The Historic Site Preservation Board (HSPB) and staff have evaluated the request in accordance with the historic designation ordinance and applicable state/federal regulations, and determined this property qualifies as a Historic District.

RECOMMENDATION:
1) Open the public hearing and receive public testimony. 2) Close the public hearing and adopt Resolution No. _____, “A RESOLUTION OF

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, DESIGNATING THE “DESERT LANAI I” LOCATED AT 1701-1749 EAST TACHEVAH DRIVE, AS A HISTORIC DISTRICT (HSPB #164 / HD-12), SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS (APN 507-310-001 to 007, 507-310-0031 to 0038, 507-310- 0040 to 0047).”

September 2, 2025 HSPB considered the case at a public hearing and voted 6-0 to recommend Historic District designation.

The proposed district boundaries follow the existing property lines for the development which include six detached structures, the open central courtyard, a uniquely shaped swimming pool and a detached carport structure. The porte-cochere and three other structures architecturally demonstrate a Polynesian / “Tiki” style that became a trademark for the architect Charles Du Bois. This site was identified as the only known multi-family development completed in this architectural style by this architect in Palm Springs.

ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS:

The analysis of the application relative to the criteria for the designation is detailed in the attached HSPB resolution and staff report dated September 2, 2025. In order to be designated a historic district, a property must exhibit exceptional historic significance and meet one or more of the criteria listed in PSMC Section 8.05.090 (C.1). The Board made findings supporting historic district designation based on the following criteria:

PSMC 8.05.090, (C,1). The proposed district and the contributing resources located therein exhibit exceptional historic significance and meet one or more of the criteria listed below:
(Criterion c) Reflects or exemplifies a particular period of national, state or local history;
(Criterion e) Presents the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or Item 2A - Page 2
City Council Staff Report
October 22, 2025 – Page 3
Historic Designation – Desert Lanai I
architect whose individual genius influenced his age, or that possesses high artistic value;
(Criterion f) Represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction, as used in evaluating applications for designation of historic districts, for parcels on which more than one entity exists.

The Board also made findings pursuant to PSMC 8.05.090 (C,2), “Historic Integrity”, that the Desert Lanai I possesses sufficient historic integrity to qualify the property as a historic district.

During the September 2, 2025 HSPB meeting, the Board supported the request for a historic district designation finding it met all of the necessary criteria. The members of the board discussed the overall high level of integrity observed during the site visit, along with a suggestion for restoring some of the wooden features that were replaced over time.

CONCLUSION:

The Desert Lanai I site meets the definition of a historic district based on Criterion (c), (e), and (f) of the Palm Springs Historic Preservation Ordinance. The property possesses sufficient historic integrity to qualify the property as a historic district. The HSPB recommendation to the City Council reflects these findings which are outlined in the attached draft City Council resolution.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The proposed historic resource designation is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical changes to the environment, directly or indirectly.

NOTIFICATION
Pursuant to Section 94.09.00 (Public Hearing) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, notice has been mailed to all property owners and residents within five hundred (500) feet of the subject property and notice was published in a newspaper of general circulation.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS RESOLVES:

SECTION 1: FINDINGS RELATIVE TO THE CRITERIA FOR THE DESIGNATION OF HISTORIC DISTRICTS.

Evaluation of the Application. Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 8.05.090 (C,1), the City Council shall evaluate the application and make findings in conformance with the following criteria:

Item 2A - Page 8
Resolution No.____

Page 2 of 8 ends

October 22, 2025
The report determines that the site conveys exceptional historic significance and maintains enough integrity to be re-classified from its Class 3 status as a potentially eligible site to a historic district as defined in the PSMC 8.05.020. The site is considered an early example of condominium living using a distinctive style of architecture proliferated by Architect Charles Du Bois during the post-war period in Palm Springs.
(Criterion a) Is associated with events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state, or community;
No information was provided indicating any significant event was directly associated with this site. The site does not qualify under Criterion a.
(Criterion b) Is associated with the lives of persons who made a meaningful contribution to national, state, or local history;
Based on the research conducted in the report, no individuals associated with this site were identified as having made significant contributions to national, state, or local history. Criterion b is not met.

(Criterion c) Reflects or exemplifies a particular period of national, state, or local history; Completed during the post-World War II period, this multi-family residential development was not only an indicator of a rising middle class, but it also confirms Palm Springs as a desirable tourist destination for individuals seeking a seasonal destination. Identified in the report as one of the earliest condominium properties in Palm Springs, Desert Lanai I was an innovative residential typology for seasonal tourists. Architecturally, Desert Lanai I combined mid-century Modern design elements like the horizontal massing, flat roofs and deep overhangs with tropical design influences from the Pacific that was gaining popularity. The Polynesian /“Tiki” style of design became a trademark style for Charles Du Bois, and this site retains many design characteristics that reflect his style. City Council finds the site qualifies as a historic resource under Criterion c by reflecting the local history of residential development and architectural styles of the period. (Criterion d) Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction;
Unlike the National Register criterion concerning construction, the Palm Springs evaluation of construction addresses the type (of construction), the period (of construction) and the method (of construction). Conventional post and beam construction methods were used to construct this development; therefore, City Council does not find the project qualifies for this criterion.
(Criterion e) Presents the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect whose individual genius influenced his age, or that possesses high artistic value; According to the research, developer Joseph Dunas and renowned architect Charels Du Bois worked together to complete this first phase of development. Du Bois was Item 2A - Page 9
Resolution No.____

Page 3 of 8 ends

October 22, 2025
particularly influential in defining Polynesian/ “Tiki” architecture as an aesthetic for residential projects with his signature A-frame gable feature. His work is seen throughout the Coachella Valley from the 1950s-1970s and range from single-family homes to multifamily residential projects. Desert Lanai I was a celebrated project after its completion and identified in the report as the only known multi-family project in Palm Springs by Charles Du Bois, giving it additional significance. Based on these findings, City Council finds the property meets criterion e.
(Criterion f) Represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction, as used in evaluating applications for designation of historic districts, for parcels on which more than one entity exists; or The site consists of seven distinct structures sited around a central courtyard and a detached cover parking structure for residents. While some of the buildings, like the pool house and the porte-cochere demonstrate Polynesian/ “Tiki” inspired design qualities, these structures do not independently possess sufficient distinction to merit individual recognition. The site as a whole exemplifies the use of architectural design to promote an experimental residential pattern that is best understood as a collection. The proposed district reflects distinct quality of Palm Springs’ post-war period. Thus, the proposed district qualifies under Criterion f.
(Criterion g) Has yielded or may be likely to yield information important to national, state or local history or prehistory.

No information has been provided on any pre-historic significance of the site.

SECTION 2: PART “C” ANALYSIS OF HISTORIC INTEGRITY.

Analysis of Integrity. (PSMC 8.05.090 (C,2). The site, structure, building, or object retains one or more of the following aspects of integrity, as established in the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards: integrity of design, materials, workmanship, location, setting, feeling, or association.

Beginning on page 55 of the report is an evaluation of the site relative to the seven aspects or qualities of historic integrity, as recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. The seven aspects or qualities include location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. The report concludes that the site retains a high degree of integrity and is further analyzed below:

1. Location:

Desert Lanai I occupies the corner where E. Tachevah Dr. and N. Sunrise Way meet. Since its completion, none of the original structures were moved and the project continues to occupy the site in the same manner as when it was first constructed. The proposed district retains its integrity of location.

Item 2A - Page 10
Resolution No.____

Page 4 of 8 ends

October 22, 2025

2. Design:

The Polynesian/ “Tiki” style A-frame buildings create an architectural identity starting at the main entrance to the complex. The rooflines of the development are mostly flat apart from the two structures on the north and south side of the lot. These two buildings contain three residential units each, but the form of the buildings has a larger presence on the site because of its scale and the A-frame roofline integrated into the center units. The “Tiki” style roof was also used for the pool house structure. The architectural detailing for each unit includes post-and-beam construction, deep overhangs with exposed wood beams, and private patio spaces. Rock and masonry walls and planters are used throughout the site. These features help create privacy for patios and entrances, as well as provide material diversity for visual interest. Many of the wooden details have either been modified or removed over time due to deterioration.

The common courtyard is mostly lawn with various planting material concentrated along the edges of the lawn. The plants help soften the boundary lines between private spaces versus public areas. The report did not identify an official landscape design, but the layout of the building clusters creates small pockets of space at each corner where olive trees were planted. The lawn and plantings on the site are extremely well-maintained and complement the existing layout of the structures. Vehicular access and parking is located along the periphery of the site and the pedestrian access points are all gated.

The building forms and the site design are critical components of the design that largely remain; therefore, City Council finds the design integrity is intact.

3. Setting:

When the development was completed in 1961, a vast majority of the surrounding areas were undeveloped. The only area that remains undeveloped is the lot directly south of the site, adjacent to the covered residential parking. The configuration of the individual structures on the site and the common area in the center remains intact but the setting of the site as it relates to its larger setting has changed.

4. Materials:

The building materials consist of stucco walls, rock and block walls, post-and-beam construction and aluminum or steel framed fenestration. The original concrete walkways have smooth exposed aggregate detailing and the use of wood on doors, vertical screening and extended beams is seen throughout the site. The original wood shake shingles, narrow vertical siding, and the horizontal facia covers have been removed or replaced with contemporary materials due to deterioration. The loss of the wood detailing is unfortunate, but a majority of the units appear to have the original fenestration and masonry details intact. The overall integrity of materials remains extant.

5. Workmanship:

Conventional construction methods and building materials were used to build this development but there is a level of detail in features like the A-frame structures and the masonry walls that Item 2A - Page 11
Resolution No.____

Page 5 of 8 ends

October 22, 2025
require a higher level of skill to execute. The site retains many of its original features, and City Council finds the integrity of workmanship remains intact.

6. Feeling:

The design focuses on promoting resort-style living and leisure. The common courtyard space with the swimming pool and the well-maintained open space supports this intent. Additionally, each individual unit offers a balance between private and communal space. With the design, materials, and location remaining largely intact, the site retains its integrity of feeling.

7. Association:

Although some original architectural detailing has been modified, the property retains a recognizable association with post-World War II development of Palm Springs. The Polynesian/ “Tiki” design as an aesthetic is closely tied to the work of architect Charles Du Bois and the site’s integrity of association remains largely intact to both the period and the architect.

SECTION 3: DEFINING HISTORIC CHARACTERISTICS
In considering a recommendation for historic resource designation it is important to distinguish those physical elements that are original or from the period of significance that contribute to the resource’s historic significance from alterations, additions or features that were added at a later time that may be sympathetic to the original character, but which may create a false sense of historicity. Distinguishing original character-defining features from non-original elements aids the HSPB when it is tasked with evaluating future alterations to the historic resource.

The following is a list of character-defining features identified by the City Council:

Character-defining features:
• Site design and building cluster configurations on the lot around common courtyard area and communal swimming pool.
• Internal network of pedestrian pathways, including concrete and exposed stone aggregate pedestrian walkways
• Location and uniquely shaped swimming pool
• Semi-circular driveway through the porte-cochere off N. Sunrise Way • “Sunrise Lanai I” sign at the northwest corner of the complex and its orientation • Parking and vehicular circulation regulated to the perimeter of the property, including a circular drive situated on the property’s west, two parking lots on its north, and covered residential parking on the south
• Pedestrian entries limited to six symmetrical pathways located on all sides of the complex • A-frame design of entry porte-cochere with extended eaves and wood post-and-beam construction
• All eight structures on the site are contributors to the district:
• Buildings 6 and 3 (as identified on page 5 of the historic resources report), is a oneand-a-half story building with rectangular footprint that has a tall A-frame front gable roofline in the center with deep eaves on the gable ends. Flat roofline areas have Item 2A - Page 12
Resolution No.____

Page 6 of 8 ends

October 22, 2025
broad overhanging eaves and exposed beams.
• Buildings 1, 2, 5 and 4 (as identified on page 5 of the historic resources report), are one-story structures with an irregular, slightly U-shaped footprint and a flat roofline with broad overhanging eaves and exposed beams.
• Pool house structure with an intersecting gabled A-frame roofline and asymmetrical eave heights where the northernmost portion extends into the ground. • Covered residential parking structure: flat roof structure with eleven bays and a total of 22 spaces. Each bay is divided with equal areas of enclosed storage space. • Unadorned, smooth stucco finish on exterior walls
• Private patios for each residential unit, enclosed with masonry walls • Intermittent use of shadow blocks as a decorative element for units with walls on the west side of the property
• A series of cylindrical steel posts and vertically slatted wood walls that create decorative privacy screening
• Wood front doors for each unit
• Flush mounted aluminum or steel sash fenestration
• Fieldstone walls at courtyard facing entrances
• Masonry planters
• Decorative metal handrails
Non-contributing elements:
• Metal security gates at various entry points to the site • Replacement cementitious roofing material
• Flood lights attached to the covered parking structure • Metal security doors on individual units
• Replacement patio pavers
SECTION 4: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The proposed historic resource designation is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical changes to the environment, directly or indirectly.

SECTION 5: CONDITIONS THAT APPLY TO HISTORIC SITES:

According to Section 8.05 of the Municipal Code, the following General Conditions shall apply to Historic Districts:

1. It shall meet the definition of a historic district as outlined in Municipal Code Section

8.05.020.

2. An archival file on the property shall be maintained by the City.

3. It may be qualified as ‘historic’ at the federal, state, and/or county level.

Desert Lanai 1 Historic District, Historic Resources Report January 29, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL RESOURCES GROUP 1

1. Introduction
At the request of the Sunrise Lanai Community Association, Architectural Resources Group (ARG) has prepared this Historic District Nomination Report for Desert Lanai 1, a cooperative condominium community comprising 22 units in six detached buildings located at the southeast corner of Sunrise Way and Tachevah Drive in the City of Palm Springs, California.1 The 22 units assessed in this report
are addressed as follows: 1701, 1703, 1705, 1707, 1709, 1711, 1715, 1717, 1719, 1721, 1723, 1725, 1727, 1729, 1731, 1733, 1735, 1737, 1739, 1741, 1745, and 1749 E. Tachevah Drive, Palm Springs, CA, 92262. The Desert Lanai 1 condominium complex was originally developed in 1960 and completed in 1961.2
Three additional Desert Lanai condominium developments are situated to the east of the Desert Lanai 1 building grouping: Desert Lanai 2, Desert Lanai 3, and Desert Lanai 4, respectively. The scope of work for this Historic District Nomination includes only the original 22 units that comprise the first phase of construction at Desert Lanai 1.

Completion of this assessment involved a site visit and visual inspection of the Desert Lanai 1 complex on Tuesday, October 3, 2023; compilation and review of historic building permits and project documents obtained from the Palm Springs Department of Planning Services and Riverside County Office of the Assessor/County Clerk; primary and secondary source research conducted through various local and online repositories, including the Palm Springs Historical Society’s Welwood Murray Memorial Research Library, Palm Springs Public Library, and personal materials submitted by Sunrise Lanai Community Association members and local historians that contribute to the historic research of the property; development of applicable historic contexts and themes (expanding on those in the City’s Historic Context Statement); evaluation of the Desert Lanai 1 grouping for eligibility under City of Palm Springs historic district criteria; and evaluation of historic integrity. This report was prepared by Katie E. Horak, Principal, and Brannon Smithwick, Architectural Historian/Preservation Planner, both of whom meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for Architectural History.3
In summary, ARG finds that the Desert Lanai 1 grouping of 22 properties at 1701‐1749 E. Tachevah Drive collectively meets the City of Palm Springs Historic District Criteria c, e, and f. All of the properties contribute to the district’s significance and retain sufficient integrity to convey its significance under Article III, Section 8.05.090 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code. The following report provides a contextual basis for analysis and a detailed discussion of how these decisions were made.
1 Historical research indicates that the subject property is sometimes referred to as “Sunrise Lanai,” although this name encompasses the entirety of the Desert Lanai developments 1‐4. For the purposes of this report, ARG refers to the property by its historic name, “Desert Lanai 1.” Desert Sun and various other sources accessed through Palm Springs’ Accessing the Past: A Digital History Collaborative, various dates.
2 City of Palm Springs Building Permit No. 2227, 5/26/60; ads from various 1961 Desert Sun issues advertising sales for “recently completed” 22‐unit Desert Lanai condominium complex by November 1961. 3 Katie E. Horak is a Principal and Architectural Historian in ARG’s Los Angeles office, with 20 years of experience in the field.

She is a graduate of the Master of Historic Preservation (now Heritage Conservation) program at the University of Southern California. Brannon Smithwick is an Architectural Historian/Preservation Planner in ARG’s Los Angeles office and is also a graduate of USC’s Master of Heritage Conservation program, as well as USC’s Master of Urban Planning program.

Google 2023.

2.1 Site and Setting
Desert Lanai 1 is located in the Oasis del Sol neighborhood, which is northeast of Downtown Palm Springs and approximately half a mile west of Palm Springs International Airport. Desert Lanai 1 is the first of four Desert Lanai developments, collectively known as “Sunrise Lanai,” all of which were constructed between 1961‐1965. Together, the four developments are situated between E. Tachevah Drive on the north and a private paved driveway lined with detached carports for Desert Lanai residents on the south. They are bounded by N. Cerritos Road on the east and N. Sunrise Way on the west. The condominium developments are situated in groupings of two with N. Briska Road, which runs north‐to‐south, bisecting Desert Lanai 1 and 2 from Desert Lanai 3 and 4. All four of the building groupings are similar in plan and have uniform setbacks with an additional parking lot along E.

Tachevah Dr. on the north. The surroundings comprise predominantly very low density single‐ and multi‐family residential development, apart from the industrial airport zone on the east. The topography of the immediate area is flat, and the streets adhere primarily to a regular grid oriented to the cardinal directions, although some semi‐private and tertiary streets culminate in a cul‐de‐sac. All the surrounding streets have asphalt paving and concrete sidewalks with curb cuts.

The subject properties of this assessment, 1701, 1703, 1705, 1707, 1709, 1711, 1715, 1717, 1719, 1721, 1723, 1725, 1727, 1729, 1731, 1733, 1735, 1737, 1739, 1741, 1745, and 1749 E. Tachevah Drive, collectively known as Desert Lanai 1, were completed in 1961 and comprise the westernmost Desert Lanai development. The grouping of buildings is located at the southeast corner of the intersection located at E. Tachevah Dr. and N. Sunrise Way. The 22‐unit development is composed of six Item 2A - Page 20
Desert Lanai 1 Historic District, Historic Resources Report January 29, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL RESOURCES GROUP 3
symmetrical one‐story buildings of horizontal massing, each containing three or four residential units, and a central courtyard which includes a lawn, a pool, and an ancillary pool house structure.

The primary entrance to Desert Lanai 1 is located at N. Sunrise Way, along the west side of the complex, and is accessed by a semi‐circular brick paver driveway. An A‐frame roofline porte‐cochere at the main driveway connects two of the development’s six buildings by a pedestrian walkway leading to the central courtyard of the development. The dramatic roofline of the porte‐cochere, which extends from gable peak to the ground, is indicative of the Polynesian/“Tiki” architectural styles that were proliferated by architect Charles Du Bois in Palm Springs at the time of its construction.4 Along E. Tachevah Drive on the north of the development sits two adjacent rectilinear eight‐car parking lots separated by landscaping. At the northeast corner of the development, immediately to the east of the parking lots, is a semi‐circular pedestrian sidewalk entrance fronted by a decorative curved white concrete bris soleil half‐wall which leads to a pedestrian walkway separating Desert Lanai 1 from Desert Lanai 2, situated to its east. Eleven adjacent detached carports line the private driveway at the south of the development, with a white concrete block retaining wall at the property’s southernmost parcel line. The overall landscaping of the Desert Lanai 1 development consists of gravel and rock features with indigenous desert plantings including various species of cacti, flowers, shrubs, and hedges. Several species of tropical palm trees and olive trees are located around and within the property as well.

Because the architect’s name is spelled “Du Bois” on official government records and in his AIA application, ARG will refer to him as such. Du Bois’ life and work is expanded upon in Section 4.5 of this report.

2.2 Buildings
The Desert Lanai 1 buildings are symmetrical on both their east/west and north/south axes, and thus the buildings are mirror images of each other. Buildings 3 and 6 are identical, and Buildings 1, 2, 4, and 5 are nearly identical. Buildings 1, 2, 4, and 5 are one story in height; Buildings 3 and 6 include a mezzanine loft within the A‐frame roofline, creating an additional half story. The complex reflects a vernacular Mid‐Century Modern idiom with elements of Polynesian/“Tiki” style architecture. Each building is described individually below.

3. Alterations and Chronology of Occupancy
Upon review of historical building permits, newspaper sources, photographs, and city directories, ARG created the following chronology of alterations and occupancy for Desert Lanai 1. All notations of residents come from Palm Springs city directories, phone books, and building permits, unless otherwise noted.5
This chronology provides a summary of each property’s known occupants as well as a summary of all documented alterations.6
Research indicates that the buildings of Desert Lanai 1 have been only minimally altered over time.7
As reflected in the construction dates below, all of the buildings and structures in the Desert Lanai 1 development were constructed at the same time under the same building permit, issued in 1960. 8 Construction lasted from 1960‐1961.

Additionally, because the Desert Lanai 1 development embodies a Homeowners’ Association (HOA) ownership structure, some historic building permits list the “Desert Lanai HOA,” “Sunrise Lanai HOA,” the “Sunrise Lanai Community Association,” or specific members acting on behalf of the HOA as unit owners, rather than their actual owners. This suggests that some alterations were likely completed for the entire building envelope or potentially the entire Desert Lanai 1 development, rather than individual units, despite the individual addresses listed on the permit. 7 Historic building permits suggest that there have been some interior alterations to various Desert Lanai 1 units; however, as the City of Palm Springs does not regulate historic interiors these alterations have been omitted from this report unless indicating a change in ownership.
8 City of Palm Springs Building Permit No. 2227, 5/26/60. 9 A full list of alterations observed by ARG that were not documented in building permits is located at the end of this section (Section 3).

In addition to the aforementioned alterations, ARG noted additional alterations to the exterior of the building that are not documented in building permits or other source materials. These additional alterations were identified by visual inspection of the building conducted by ARG staff on October 3, 2023. In the absence of building permits, ARG was not able to determine when these alterations occurred. Below is a list of the additional exterior alterations noted by ARG during visual inspection of the commercial property:
 The original wood thatched Polynesian/“Tiki” style shingles have been replaced with cementitious shingles on all of the A‐framed front‐gabled rooflines present throughout the property, including on the porte‐cochere connecting Buildings 1 and 2, on Building 3, on Building 6, and on the ancillary pool house structure.
 A gable ridge board extending beyond the roofline of the A‐frame porte‐cochere at the property’s entrance has been replaced. The board now sits flush with the roofline.  A wood spider leg detail has been removed from the north façade of the ancillary pool house structure.
 Historic wood fencing throughout the property has been replaced over time with cinder block concrete walls and modern iron fencing.
 Vertical wood siding and horizontal slatted wood fascia details near courtyard facing rear entrances have been removed from several building units.  Some exterior aluminum or steel windows and sliding glass doors have been replaced with conforming materials across the property’s units.
 On some exterior patios on both the primary and rear building façades, the original patterned cement and stone aggregate tile flooring has been replaced with various modern flooring materials (1723, 1733, 1749, and possibly other units not visible from the street and pool areas).
 Some door hardware has been replaced with modern hardware throughout the property, notably the hardware on doors leading to the interior space of the ancillary pool house structure.
 Some original tropical landscaping features have been replaced with more drought‐tolerant species throughout the complex.

4. Historic Contexts

4.1 Post-World War II Multi-Family Residential Development of Palm Springs
Prior to World War II, Palm Springs was predominately a destination for wealthy vacationers and seasonal homeowners. After the war, the city attracted new groups of middle and upper‐middle income tourists and homeowners who benefited from postwar economic prosperity and optimism, a combination that encouraged investment and spending. Many were veterans or citizens who participated in the war effort, and thus were eligible for additional income subsidized by the U.S. government as payment for their participation, which created more opportunities for homeownership. Coupled with the proliferation of an automobile‐centric suburban lifestyle in Southern California after the war and greater connection to Palm Springs from Los Angeles with the interstate freeway system, these factors led to a population explosion in Palm Springs in the decades following. Between 1940‐1960, the population of Palm Springs rose 292 percent, from 3,434 to 13,468 permanent residents. Even more astounding was the increase in seasonal residents, from an estimated 100,000 in 1940 to about 500,000 persons per year by 1960. Institutional growth and an expanded commercial tourism industry followed this dramatic population increase, which led to an immediate need for residential property development in Palm Springs. While emphasis was placed on developing tracts of single‐family homes for permanent and second‐home seasonal homeowners, apartment and condominium style multi‐family residential developments with varied ownership options were constructed during the postwar years as well. 72 Most examples of early multi‐family residential housing constructed after World War II were located on Palm Canyon Drive, Indian Canyon Drive, Arenas Road, and Tamarisk Road in Palm Springs. Some significant architects and designers associated with multi‐family residential development during this period included John Porter Clark, Albert Frey, A. Quincy Jones, Donald Wexler, Richard Harrison, William Krisel, and H.W. Burns, among others. Developers included George and Robert “Bob” Alexander, Phillip Short and Associates, Joseph C. Dunas, William Bone, and Jack and Richard Weiss.

Several forms of multi‐family housing typologies were implemented at the time, including garden apartments, stacked terrace apartments, split‐level attached townhomes, attached and semi‐attached residences in small clusters, and large low‐rise multi‐building condominium communities. As was consistent with greater residential development patterns in postwar Palm Springs, a pool (or several pools depending on the scale of the development) was the central, unifying focus of almost all multi‐ family housing typology configurations. Other amenities that promoted indoor‐outdoor resort living at an affordable price were included as well, such as recreational facilities and outdoor dining patios.

Most multi‐family housing developers and architects working in Palm Springs at the time chose to capitalize on the growing popularity of the Mid‐Century Modernism architectural style. Developments included character defining features of the style, such as post and beam construction, allowing for deep roof overhangs and walls of glass; exterior circulation; private or semi‐private exterior balconies 72 City of Palm Springs, Citywide Historic Context Statement and Survey Findings (prepared by Historic Resources Group for the City of Palm Springs, 2016), 176‐77, 246.

and patios; and use of corrugated metal, concrete block or stone walls, and vertical posts for decoration. Some developers and architects, including developer Joseph “Joe” C. Dunas and his collaborator architect Charles Du Bois, as well as duo Wexler & Harrison, chose to implement elements of Polynesian/“Tiki” style architecture into their designs as interest in Hawaiian culture and lifestyle grew during the late 1950s.

By 1960, cooperative ownership condominiums were becoming the most popular multi‐family residential development typology. Although the City of Palm Springs did not implement zoning changes to allow for greater density until 1965, a move which significantly increased multi‐family development in later years, the condominium homeownership structure began to take root as early as 1955 when the Los Angeles Home Show featured an exhibit advertising the “own‐your own” apartment model in Palm Springs. Condominium style living was advertised to buyers as an opportunity to take advantage of the city’s valuable real estate market for either full time living or to be used as a vacation residence for lease to earn additional income when not in use.73 A 1958 community planning survey found that the median age of Palm Springs was currently 46.3, with almost 2/5 of the population already retired and that number trending toward growth as postwar settlers aged, a statistic which “underlines the resort nature of Palm Springs.”74 When asked what amenities residents would like to see developed in town, respondents overwhelmingly favored the construction of more outdoor recreational facilities including swimming pools, golf courses, tennis courses, and public parks.75 Speculative developers in Palm Springs recognized this need to cater multi‐family housing typologies with wraparound amenities not only to single individuals and couples, but especially to an aging population of empty nesters and retirees that were helping to cement Palm Springs as a second home/vacation paradise.

From June to November 1960, six new cooperative “apartment” condominium style developments were constructed in Palm Springs, with more in development outside of the city limits as well.76 Because of the growing demand, the City of Palm Springs was one of the first resort communities in the nation to legalize condominiums for use as vacation homes. They differed from the traditional cooperative apartment typology, “in that residences were not technically owned collectively: each unit was owned individually but common areas were subject to collective ownership.”77 Each condominium development typically established a homeowners’ association that collected monthly ownership dues to maintenance common areas and plan social events and gatherings. Timeshare arrangements also became popular, allowing for multiple owners of one unit at an even lower cost.78 Some early examples of multi‐family apartment and condominium developments in Palm Springs include Bel Vista (1945‐47, Clark & Frey), Villa Hermosa (1945, Clark & Frey), Town & Desert Apartments (1948, Herbert W. Burns), Desert Skies Apartment Hotel (1956, Claude A. Powell), The Royal Air Condominiums (1958, Wexler & Harrison), Racquet Club Cottages West (1959‐60, William F. 73 Historic Resources Group, 246‐257.

4.2 Development of Desert Lanai 1
Desert Lanai 1 was a condominium subdivision developed in 1960 by local speculative real estate developer Joseph “Joe” C. Dunas. A frequent partner of the prolific Alexander Construction Company in Palm Springs, Dunas also developed and constructed several projects independently, including the multi‐family Desert Lanai 1 complex.80 Prior to development, the land on which Desert Lanai 1 sits was as a reservation belonging to the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians who originally inhabited the area prior to European colonization.81 Throughout the 1950s, speculative developers and the City of Palm Springs began purchasing plots of land from the Agua Caliente tribe for residential, commercial, and institutional development to meet the demands of the city’s increasing population after World War II. By 1959, the city had adopted the Equalization Bill (Public Law 105‐308) and the Land Lease Act (Public Law 86‐327) to support land transactions, both of which were signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Working in tandem, the two laws permitted the lease and development of open parcels owned by the Agua Caliente Tribe and allowed tribe members to lease land to developers on 99‐year lease terms, which created new opportunities on previously restricted land in Palm Springs.82 An article in the August 5, 1961 issue of The Desert Sun boasts the new legislation, stating that “Palm Springs phenomenal growth is being eyed around the world, and with the freeing of Agua Caliente Indian Lands for development millions of dollars more will cascade through banking and investment institutions to skyrocket desert area assessed evaluations into the hundreds of millions.”83 Although it is unknown when Dunas first took option on the land in Section 12, the initial parcels and roads for his new condominium complex had been planned and developed by 1957, suggesting that Dunas likely purchased the land either from the Agua Caliente Tribe or from another speculative developer (such as the Alexanders) who purchased it from the Tribe sometime during the 1950s.84 Hoping to capitalize on the burgeoning resort‐style condominium housing boom that was marketed toward middle‐aged GIs and aging retirees for convenient living, Dunas planned the Sunrise Lanai co‐ op project in four phases: Desert Lanai 1 (completed 1961), Desert Lanai 2 (completed 1962), Desert Lanai 3 (completed 1963), and Desert Lanai 4 (completed 1965). Each grouping of six buildings would contain 22 units, for a total of 88 units developed on “virgin Indian land” off E. Tachevah Drive, with 79 Historic Resources Group, 246‐257.
80 Much of the existing literature credits the Sunrise Lanai development, of which Desert Lanai 1 is the first phase, to Joe Dunas as a partner within the Alexander Construction Company. However, building permits, deeds for later phases of Sunrise Lanai, and archived primary sources (i.e., construction drawings) indicate that the Alexanders were not involved with the Sunrise Lanai development, but rather it was a project headed by Dunas operating under the J.C. Dunas Company. 81 1957 Topographic Map, United States Geological Survey, National Geologic Map Database (NGMBD). 82 Historic Resources Group, 181, 233; Renee Brown, “History of equalization of property rights by members of Agua Caliente Band of the Cahuilla Indians,” Desert Sun, April 30, 2023. 83 Desert Sun, “Resort Area Enters Fabulous Growth Period,” August 5, 1961. 84 1957 Topographic Map, United States Geological Survey.

the building permit for Desert Lanai 1 valued at a total of $223,000.85 The building permit for the first phase of the condominium complex was issued on May 26, 1960, and by August of 1961 the project was well under construction.86 Units were “clustered in six buildings, arranged in a rectangle to encompass an Olympic‐size swimming pool and other recreational facilities.”87 On the interior, units were designed in two‐bedroom/two deluxe bathroom and one‐bedroom‐plus‐den floorplan configurations. Once Desert Lanai 1 was completed, the model apartment was located at 1707 E.

Architecturally, Desert Lanai 1 and its subsequent developments embodied a Mid‐Century Modern style with Polynesian/“Tiki” style influences, which Dunas and Charles Du Bois had found to be popular in previous collaborations, including the first phase of the Vista Las Palmas (1956) neighborhood.89 Dunas worked with Du Bois to incorporate the architect’s signature A‐frame sloping roofline sometimes referred to as the “Swiss‐Miss,” as well as tropical landscaping features and details within the overall Mid‐Century Modern design of each building comprising Desert Lanai 1.90 Construction materials included liquid treated lumber framing and redwood exterior trim, diagonal steel frame braces, lath and acoustic plaster walls, and top‐suspended horizontal sliding aluminum and stainless steel windows. Buildings were complete with dampered duct air conditioning systems, thermal insulation, and nylon weather‐stripping to account for the drastic weather changes from season‐to‐season in Palm Springs to allow for year‐round living. 91 Located just one mile from Downtown Palm Springs, Desert Lanai 1 was heavily marketed in The Desert Sun, The Los Angeles Times, and in pamphlets published by Dunas’ office for distribution to potential buyers in 1961.92 The developer’s approach was two‐pronged, promoting the luxury of resort‐style living as well as the financial incentives and “income appreciation potential” available to cooperative condominium homeowners (i.e., pro‐rata tax deductions and mortgage savings), thus urging buyers to take advantage of rising real estate values in Palm Springs. One pamphlet claimed that Desert Lanai 1 was the “most deluxe cooperative apartment‐home community” in Palm Springs, “designed with your peace of mind” to include recreational amenities such as a communal swimming pool, shuffleboard and ping pong tables, and volleyball courts, as well as easy access to neighboring golf courses, tennis clubs, and horseback riding stables to promote the health benefits of indoor‐ outdoor living.93 For the “sun worshiper,” bedrooms were equipped with private exterior sun‐den patios (“lanais”) for outdoor lounging and dining, and “from every window you [could] see the rolling 85 Desert Sun, “Resort Area,” 1961; Desert Sun, “Dunas Announces New Cooperative,” February 24, 1961. 86 Desert Sun, “Resort Area,” 1961; City of Palm Springs Building Permit No. 2227, 5/26/60. 87 Desert Lanai ad pamphlet, J.C.

By the end of 1961, Desert Lanai 1 was complete. While advertising the second phase of Sunrise Lanai that was already underway in the April 13th, 1962 issue of The Desert Sun, Dunas proclaimed that the Desert Lanai 1 phase was such a success “…almost entirely due to the fact that owner‐tenants enjoy the benefits of homeownership without the problems of maintenance and ownership responsibilities.”98 Desert Lanai 1 remained largely out of the papers in the following decades as advertisement focus shifted to later phases of the Sunrise Lanai development, although occasional pool parties and community social gatherings were reported.99 On August 4, 1977, residents of the Desert Lanai Community Association filed a lawsuit against the Sunrise Racquet Club developers who were constructing a new subdivision on the north of the Desert Lanai properties. The lawsuit claimed that the developers were in violation of Palm Springs building code, citing sand blow accumulation on the properties of Desert Lanai residents, “many of whom [were] retired,” causing property destruction, health issues, and other inconveniences. The lawsuit was settled in 1980 with $189,175 in damages rewarded to Desert Lanai residents.100

4.3 Mid-Century Modernism
Desert Lanai 1 embodies the characteristics of Mid‐Century Modernism, in particular the Polynesian/”Tiki” variant that was popular in the late 1950s/early 1960s . “Mid‐Century Modern” is a broad term that is used to describe the various derivatives of Modern architecture that flourished in the post‐World War II period. These include postwar adaptations of the International Style, post‐and‐ beam construction, and more organic and expressive interpretations of the Modern architectural movement. Mid‐Century Modernism was popular between the mid‐1940s and early 1970s.101 It proved to be a remarkably adaptable and versatile idiom that was expressed through an array of property types ranging large‐scale housing tracts, to commercial buildings, to civic and institutional properties. Its aesthetic was incorporated into both high‐style buildings and the local vernacular and was employed by architects and developer‐builders alike.

Mid‐Century Modernism is rooted in various experiments in Modern architecture that were introduced in the early 20th century. The International Style, which came out of Europe in the 1920s, introduced a cogent approach to design that was characterized by simple geometric forms, smooth wall surfaces, the honest expression of structure and materials, and the absence of superfluous ornament.102 At about the same time, a small group of maverick American architects including Frank 98 “Co‐op Apartments Near Completion,” Desert Sun, April 13, 1962. 99 “Canadians at Desert Lanai,” Desert Sun, March 6, 1962; “They Will Attend the President’s Dinner,” Desert Sun, September 3, 1970.

Lloyd Wright and Irving Gill were also dabbling in experimental new forms, methods, and materials in their quest to develop an original style of American architecture.103 Mid‐Century Modernism draws upon these earlier paradigms and is emblematic of how the principles of Modernism were adapted to the conditions of post‐World War II life. Over time, architects took the basic tenets of the International Style and similar experiments in domestic Modernism, augmented them, and developed dialects of Modernism that were both rational and sensitive to their respective physical and cultural contexts. In Southern California, this was manifest in an architectural vocabulary defined by a clear expression of structure and materials, wide expanses of plate glass, and open interior plans.104 Some architects like Lloyd Wright and John Lautner, captivated by the movement’s emphasis on freedom of form and structural innovation, incorporated sweeping volumes and expressionistic elements into Mid‐Century Modern design, devising a sub‐set of the style that was organic and sculptural in appearance.

Due in large part to Palm Springs population explosion and economic prosperity in the post‐World War II period, Palm Springs has a notable and diverse concentration of Mid‐Century Modern architecture. In Palm Springs, variants of the style were implemented by distinguished local architects including William Cody, Albert Frey, John Porter Clark, Donald Wexler, and E. Stewart Williams, as well as Los Angeles‐based architects Dan Palmer, William Krisel, and Charles Du Bois who also frequently worked in the desert. These postwar architects developed what became known as “Desert Modernism,” and collectively they made up the Palm Springs School of Architecture “that was born from international Modernism but matured into a fundamentally regional style, fostered in part by Art and Architecture magazine’s pivotal Case Study Program (1945‐1966), along with specific local conditions.”105 The style gained popularity among speculative real estate developers, contractors, and architects “because its use of standardized, prefabricated materials permitted quick and economical construction. It became the predominant architectural style in Palm Springs in the postwar years and is represented in almost every property type, from single‐family residences to commercial buildings to gas stations.”106
Character‐defining features of the Mid‐Century Modern style include the following:
 Simple, geometric building forms of one‐ or two‐story configuration with horizontal massing  Wood post‐and‐beam or steel construction; concrete, glass, and steel are often used in non‐ residential buildings
 Direct expression of the structural system
 Flat roofs, with or without eaves; sometimes low‐pitched gable roof with cantilevered canopies
 Stucco and/or wood, brick, steel, concrete, or stone exterior cladding and accents 103 Shivers, “Architecture: A New Creative Medium,” 124. 104 City of Los Angeles, “SurveyLA Los Angeles Citywide Historic Context Statement, Context: Architecture and Engineering, Sub‐Context: L.A.

 Flush‐mounted metal frame and clerestory windows, often incorporated into building façades  Minimal surface ornament and decorative details
 Integrated landscapes, often in the form of courtyards or plazas  Organic sub‐type: bold, geometric building forms and motifs that abstractly reference nature (i.e., butterfly, A‐frame, folded plate, or barrel vault roofs)107 Polynesian/“Tiki” Variant of Mid-Century Modernism
An interest in Hawaiian culture first appeared in Southern California as early as the Hawaiian music craze during the 1920s and proliferated in the 1940s and ‘50s with Hawaiian‐themed bars such as Clifton’s Cafeteria, Cocoanut Grove, Trader Vic’s Lounge, Tonga Hut, and Don the Beachcomber emerging in the Los Angeles area. Heightened by the United States’ involvement in the Pacific theater during World War II and increased opportunities for air travel during the 1950s, interest in Hawaiian culture amongst Southern Californians soared and began to infiltrate local architectural styles by the late 1950s.108
As a destination marketed toward luxury and leisure, Palm Springs architects were able to easily integrate Hawaiian‐influenced architectural features into their designs to support the desert community’s ethos of resort‐style living. This new thematic style became known as Polynesian/”Tiki” or “Tiki” architecture locally, and was used by architects Richard Harrison, Donald Wexler, and Charles Du Bois to complement and diversify the overarching Mid‐Century Modernism style of their residential work. Some examples of Polynesian/“Tiki” architecture in Palm Springs include homes designed by Du Bois in the Vista Las Palmas (1956) and adjacent Las Palmas Summit (1962) neighborhoods, Du Bois’ Desert Lanai 1 multi‐family development (1960‐1961), the Wexler & Harrison designed Royal Hawaiian Estates (1960), and later Greenway Estates, designed by Wexler and completed in 1965.109
Character‐defining features of the Polynesian/“Tiki” style include the following:
 Dramatic A‐frame roofs, often extending to the ground  Often includes front door or front gate on A‐frame facade  Application of wood or thatch on exteriors
 Steeply pitched roofs with forward‐slanting, front‐facing gables  Exposed rafter and roof beams, outriggers with sweeping or curved lines South‐Pacific inspired imagery i.e., tiki heads, canoes, torches, birds, etc.  Tropical landscaping i.e., lagoons, waterfalls, palm trees, and other plants110 107 ARG, “City of La Cañada Flintridge Historic Resources Inventory Update – Survey Report,” 43‐44. 108 Survey LA, Los Angeles Citywide Historic Context Statement, Context: Architecture and Engineering, Los Angeles Department of City Planning, Office of Historic Resources, 2015, 29‐33. 109Desert Sun, various dates; Historic Resources Group, 216‐17, 229, 250; Ryan Harris interview, 2023. 110 Survey LA, Context: Architecture and Engineering, 33.

4.4 Developer/Builder Joseph “Joe” C. Dunas
Joseph “Joe” C. Dunas (b. 1900, Chicago, IL) was a prominent single‐ and multi‐family real estate developer and builder in Southern California throughout the twentieth century. After dropping out of the University of Chicago where he studied music publishing in the 1920s, Dunas partnered with his brother‐in‐law to establish the Cole and Dunas Music Company, which imported, manufactured, and distributed musical instruments. In 1927, he wrote a book titled New Slow Method Strokes for Ukelele.

When the Depression hit, the business was sold in 1931 and Dunas relocated with his family to Los Angeles, California where he began a career in real estate.111 He soon founded J.C. Dunas & Company, a real estate brokerage located at 646 S. La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles, and began purchasing, exchanging, and selling apartments complexes and small tracts of vacant land for multi‐family residential development throughout various Los Angeles neighborhoods.112 By 1943, Dunas had relocated the business to his home address at 626 S. Highland Avenue and began exploring bigger development opportunities in neighboring cities around Los Angeles and in the San Fernando Valley. Dunas took advantage of automobile centric suburbanization as his business expanded, catering larger tract single‐family developments and home sales to buyers who had relocated to Southern California as part of the war effort or to work in the emerging aerospace industry. It was around this time that Dunas met accountant George Alexander, and the two became close friends. Dunas helped convince Alexander to transition into a career into the burgeoning field of real estate development, and the two became longtime partners and collaborators after Alexander established the George Alexander Construction Company (later Alexander Construction Company), in Los Angeles. When the war ended in 1945, veteran families began settling in Southern California in droves, creating even more opportunities for Dunas to develop modern, well‐designed suburban neighborhoods and apartment complexes throughout the region, including Orange and Riverside counties. By this point, the company had expanded to include Dunas’ son Ron and sons‐in‐law Stuart Swindler and Morton Greene, all of whom helped manage projects as the business grew.113 After the war, Dunas continued his working relationship with George Alexander, who by then had expanded the George Alexander Construction Company to include his son Robert “Bob” who had recently returned from combat and was interested in real estate development. Dunas also established relationships with Dave L. and Sheldon Appel of the Pacific Construction Finance Company and local architect and set designer Charles Du Bois. He began working with each of these collaborators extensively on various projects across Southern California, ranging from small apartment complexes to large housing tracts comprising over one thousand single‐family homes. Unlike many postwar Southern California developers/designers who focused their work solely on emerging modernist styles, early 1940s‐1950s collaborations between Dunas, the Alexanders (still under the leadership of George Alexander at the time), the Appels, and Du Bois instead preferred to focus on pragmatism rather than progressivism in design, and thus their collaborations varied drastically in architectural 111 Merilee Colton, “Purple Hills Estates: South Palm Desert Housing Development in the early 1960’s,” Historical Society of Palm Desert, The Hourglass, Winter 2017, 6; “Versatile Dunas now a writer” Los Angeles Evening Citizen News, September 24, 1966.

style. Some early examples of these collaborations were dingbat apartments built by Dunas/Alexanders for returning GIs throughout Los Angeles and in the San Fernando Valley and tract housing that ranged from various period revival styles to traditional ranch homes.114 However, Dunas did explore the Mid‐Century Modernism style in the 1950s as well, predominately through his work with the Alexanders in the San Fernando Valley. Like their fathers, the younger Ron Dunas and Bob Alexander were social acquaintances as well as business associates, and both were interested in shifting their fathers’ businesses to capitalize on the emerging modernist styles. By 1953, the two younger partners were given the opportunity to develop small tracts of parcels in Woodland Hills, which proved to be so successful that more land was subdivided for a total of 300‐parcels co‐ developed by J.C. Dunas & Company and the George Alexander Construction Company in their first collaboration with architects Dan Palmer and William Krisel. This became the Corbin Palms subdivision, which later included a thirty‐six‐parcel addition named Eastwood Estates, which was completed two years later in 1955 (Palmer & Krisel).115 When George and Bob Alexander moved their business to Palm Springs in 1955 to focus on prefabricated Mid‐Century Modern tract housing, Dunas saw an opportunity to expand his business to the desert as well. Palm Springs was experiencing a residential housing boom driven by postwar economic growth and the subsequent demand for resort style living, which allowed Dunas to take advantage of large tracts of undeveloped land the city had begun acquiring from the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians to develop both single and multi‐family homes. That same year, Bob Alexander took over day‐to‐day management of the newly renamed Alexander Construction Company from his father. The younger Alexander brought in Dunas as a managing partner to help execute larger development projects in town, many of which continued their partnership with Los Angeles based designers Palmer & Krisel. Among these early collaborations included Vista Las Palmas (1956‐59, partially designed by architect Charles Du Bois), Twin Palms Estates (1957‐58), Enchanted Homes (1957), Ramon Rise (1957‐59), and the Ocotillo Lodge (1957‐58).116 The partnership between Alexander and Dunas became so prolific in Palm Springs that a 1958 LA Times article announcing the opening of the Ocotillo Lodge deemed the duo the “boy wonder builders from Los Angeles.”117 114 The Hourglass, Winter 2017, 7‐8; The Hourglass, Fall 2017, 2; Ryan Harris interview, 2023. 115 SurveyLA, Canoga Park‐Winnetka‐Woodland Hills‐West Hills Historic Districts, Planning Districts and Multi‐Property Resources, Los Angeles Department of City Planning, Office of Historic Resources, 2013. 23, 152; The Hourglass, Winter 2017, 7‐9.

As business continued to expand in the desert, Dunas purchased his own second home in Purple Hills Estates, a subdivision comprising of both mid‐century modern and traditional ranch style homes that Dunas developed himself in nearby Palm Desert. Around this time, he renamed the business Jaycee Investment Company (sometimes spelled Jay‐Cee) and began developing properties independent of the Alexanders in the greater Coachella Valley region, including Palm Springs.118 By 1960, Dunas had already begun plans to develop Sunrise Lanai on the northeast side of Palm Springs. The development was planned in four phases, each phase comprising of groupings of six condominium style apartment buildings with a centralized communal yard and pool. To design the property, the developer brought in Los Angeles architect, former collaborator, and friend Charles Du Bois. The two had previously worked together with the Alexanders to design and build several homes in the Vista Las Palmas neighborhood of Palm Springs, but Sunrise Lanai was likely their first collaboration in the desert independent of the Alexander Construction Company. Du Bois was a proponent of Polynesian/“Tiki” style architecture, which he incorporated into his designs for Sunrise Lanai. The condominium development proved to be a huge success for the developer‐designer duo as cooperative style living 118 The Hourglass, Winter 2017, 7‐9; The Hourglass, Summer 2017, 1‐2.

took off in Palm Springs at the time (Sunrise Lanai, which includes Desert Lanai 1, 1960‐1965, Charles Du Bois). In 1962, the two worked together again to develop and design a twenty‐parcel single‐family home extension to Vista Las Palmas called Las Palmas Summit, which was located west of Vista Las Palmas on Los Robles Drive, parallel to Tachevah Canyon.119 Dunas and Du Bois continued to collaborate with each other in Southern California over the course of their careers, including on the Farrell Canyon Estates (1963, resumed 1971‐73) development in Palm Springs.120 In the mid‐1960s, Dunas took a step back from property development to reconnect with his creative and spiritual roots. In 1966 he published a philosophical self‐help book titled Joy for Daily Living, which contained “…an abundance of anecdotes, poetry, and aphorisms drawn from wits, philosophers, and religious writings…”121 He formed the Dunas Foundation to distribute the profits of his book and successes in real estate to various charitable causes. In later decades, Dunas continued to develop and sell real estate in the Los Angeles area until his death in 1987.122

4.5 Architect Charles E. Du Bois
Architect Charles Du Bois was born in Rochester, NY in 1903.123 After living with his step‐grandparents on their farm in Mexico, New York, for most of his childhood, Du Bois had relocated to Glendale, California, by 1920 where he finished school at Glendale High School in 1921. The budding designer attended UCLA for one year before transferring to MIT where he worked toward a degree intermittently between 1922‐1930. Du Bois married wife Marjory Gunyon in 1924 while he was still a student.124 During this time, he traveled between coasts and worked as a draftsman for several notable Los Angeles area architecture firms, including Walker & Eisen (1923‐1931), Gogerty & Weyl (1926‐1929), and Horatio W. Bishop (1929). Working for these firms at a time when architectural eclecticism gave rise to period revival styles meant that Du Bois was exposed to a range of thematic architecture, including the Art Deco, Moderne Storybook, Spanish Baroque, Spanish Colonial, Mediterranean Revival, and Tudor Revival styles, in addition to the more traditional Ranch and Craftsmen styles that were popular in Southern California at the time.125 Du Bois passed the national architecture exams sometime in the 1930s and opened his own firm located at 5143 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood by 1938.126 When World War II broke out and housing construction slowed, the young architect sidestepped into set design for the film industry and quickly became a Senior Set Designer for MGM where he was rumored to have drafted plans for The Wizard 119 Historic Resources Group, 216‐217; Harlan, The Alexanders, 34; Ryan Harris interview, 2023. 120 Historic Resources Group, 229‐230; “Palm Springs Architects & Developers,” Visit Palm Springs, August 29, 2020.

of Oz (1939) and Wuthering Heights (1939).127 Once the war ended, Du Bois refocused his career on architecture after joining the American Institute of Architects (AIA) California chapter in 1946.128 He soon relocated with his family to Encino and began working with several developers who were beginning to take advantage of the postwar housing boom in Southern California. Among them was Joseph Dunas, with whom Du Bois first became socially acquainted and then frequent collaborators shortly thereafter. The two worked together to complete several development projects throughout Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley during the 1950s.129 By then Du Bois had mastered a range of architectural styles influenced by his early exposure to both traditional and period revival architecture, as well as the emerging Mid‐Century Modern style. The designer’s ability to work across styles exemplified his versatility, and he became sought after by developers and builders hoping to capitalize on the postwar residential development boom in the greater Los Angeles area with diverse yet well‐designed tract housing. Some examples of Du Bois’ work from this period include La Cañada Oaks (1951, La Cañada Flintridge) Overland Estates (Culver City, 1951), Sunkist Park (Culver City, 1951), Bellwood Estates (Los Angeles, 1952), Telfair Square (Van Nuys, 1952), Hollywood Riviera Estates (Redondo Beach, 1955), Riviera Beach Estates (Torrance/Palos Verdes, 1955), Compton Estates (1954, Compton), Santa Anita Estates (East Pasadena, 1955), and the now Woodside Historic District in Woodland Hills (1959).130 Du Bois was also one of the few notable architects of his time to design tract housing for African Americans in Southern California as they faced mechanisms of housing discrimination and segregation (such as restricted covenants) that dictated where they could and could not live. Of note was the Du Bois designed San‐Fern Manor tract in Pacoima, a 100‐parcel neighborhood developed in 1952 and advertised as “a new neighborhood of charm, dignity and individuality” for Black Angelinos looking for access to homeownership opportunities that widely unavailable in the San Fernando Valley.131 Although it is unclear exactly how and when Du Bois began designing projects in Palm Springs, it’s possible that his early work as a draftsman led him to the desert. For example, the young designer may have worked on designs in the desert when employed by other architecture firms, for instance the El Mirador Hotel in Palm Springs (Walker & Eisen, 1927‐28), or perhaps on the Desert Air Airpark and Hotel) in what is now Racho Mirage (early designs date to 1930s, Gogerty & Weyl).132 But by the 1950s Du Bois had built a substantial network of fellow designers, developers, and builders throughout the Los Angeles area on his own accord, so it is more likely that one of his collaborators brought him to Palm Springs when the postwar housing market naturally expanded out of Los Angeles and into the Coachella Valley as upwardly‐mobile Angelenos searched for resort‐style living via second 127 The Hourglass, Fall 2017, 3; Ryan Harris interview, 2023. 128 “Charles E.

home‐ownership in desert communities. The first‐known Du Bois designed subdivision in Palm Springs was Mountain View Estates located in the Las Palmas area (1956‐58, developer David M. Benjamin).133 But his longstanding partnership with father‐son development duo George and Robert “Bob” Alexander is what cemented Du Bois’ presence in Palm Springs. Du Bois had met the Alexanders around the same time as he met Joe Dunas, and the three parties became frequent collaborators throughout the Los Angeles area. When the Alexanders moved their business to the resort community of Palm Springs in 1955 for the sake of George’s declining health, the newly rebranded Alexander Construction Company immediately began investing in undeveloped land on the northwest side of Palm Springs that largely been owned by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians in years prior.134 This included the Vista Las Palmas tract, developed by the Alexanders with fellow builder Joe Dunas in three phases and targeted toward an upscale clientele for year‐round living. The development comprised a total of 325 single‐family housing units in the Mid‐Century Modern style, most of which were designed by architects Dan Palmer and William Krisel from 1956‐1959.135 However, the Alexanders and Dunas recognized the need to diversify their floorplans for Vista Las Palmas as early as the first phase of development in 1956, and so they brought in Du Bois to design homes for several lots in the northern portion of the tract, which spanned from the north side of Via Las Palmas to the south side of Camino del Sur.136 Du Bois’ single‐family homes in Vista Las Palmas featured “…floorplans with the living rooms angled at forty‐five degrees and complementary stone walls likewise extended at that angle,” thus embodying Du Bois’ signature steeply pitched A‐framed rooflines that were known to “soar unexpectedly above the surrounding rooftops” of other homes in Vista Las Palmas.137 Collectively, these homes became known as Du Bois’ “Swiss‐Miss” houses, although they were not at all influenced by the Swiss Chalet/Alpine style, but rather by the designer’s interest in Polynesian/“Tiki” architecture resulting from his frequent travels to the Islands to visit son Charles Robert “Bobby” Du Bois who settled in Hawaii after the serving in the Korean War.138 The reference to Hawaiian culture even permeated the home buying process—when buyers closed on their new Du Bois designed homes in Vista Las Palmas, they were given their keys by broker “Aloha Bob” Paine in a lei ceremony.139 Accordingly to family members, Du Bois even went so far as to decorate his own home in Encino in the Polynesian/“Tiki” style. It was later during the 1970s that the A‐framed homes were rebranded as Du Bois’ “Swiss‐Misses” to promote the Alpine/Swiss Chalet style once the Polynesian/“Tiki” style fell out of fashion.140 133 Historic Resources Group, 180; Mountain View Estates display ad, Desert Sun, May 24, 1958. 134 1957 Topographic Map, United States Geological Survey. 135 Harlan, The Alexanders, 29‐34. 136 Historic Resources Group, 216. 137 Historic Resources Group, 217; Harlan, The Alexanders, 34. 138 Ryan Harris interview, 2023. 139 Vista Las Palmas ad display depicts lei ceremony for new homeowners, Desert Sun, November 28, 1963. 140 Ryan Harris interview, 2023.

Nonetheless, Du Bois floorplans in Vista Las Palmas were so successful that Joe Dunas hired the architect to translate his Polynesian/“Tiki” features into designs for a multi‐family condominium housing development he was planning called “Sunrise Lanai.” Desert Lanai 1, the first of the four‐ phase planned development, was completed in 1961 and likely was the first collaboration in Palm Springs between Dunas and Du Bois independent of the Alexander Construction Company. Du Bois was again contracted by Dunas in 1962 for his Polynesian/“Tiki” influenced style, this time to design single‐family homes with Du Bois’ signature A‐frame gabled roofline in Las Palmas Summit, a twenty‐ parcel extension of Vista Las Palmas situated on N. Rose Avenue. Advertisements for Las Palmas Summit promoted pop culture’s increasing interest in Hawaiian culture through Du Bois’ designs, proclaiming that “Hawaiian hospitality” awaits you in the neighborhood “where island living meets desert living, the ‘all seasons’ home designed for year‐round living.”141 Du Bois was later credited for designing several homes in Palm Springs’ Canyon View Estates around 1964 for notable local developer Roy Fey, and completed preliminary designs for homes what was likely to be an extension of the Racquet Club Estates (1960) development for the Alexanders before the project was cut short after a tragic plane crash killed both George and Bob Alexander in 1965.142 Another notable Du Bois‐designed single‐family development in the Coachella Valley was Purple Hills Estates in Palm Desert, which was developed by Joe Dunas and completed between 1963‐1965.143 Homes in Purple Hills Estates comprised a blend of the Mid‐Century Modern style, some of which included Du Bois Polynesian/“Tiki” inspired extended A‐frame rooflines, along with traditional Ranch style homes with which the architect had experience designing throughout Southern California as 141 Vista Las Palmas ad display, Desert Sun, June 19, 1963; Historic Resources Group, 229; Harlan, The Alexanders, 34. 142 Ryan Harris interview, 2023. 143 Ad displays for Purple Hills Estates, Desert Sun, various dates.

well.  Once completed, Joe Dunas purchased a second home in the Purple Hills Estates tract where he lived while working in the desert.144
Other projects credited to Du Bois’ later career in the Los Angeles area include: Fairwood Estates (Granada Hills, 1964), Woodland West (Woodland Hills, 1964), the now Kingswood Historic District extension of Woodland West (1961‐1965), portions of Clark Gable Estates (Encino, 1973‐1977), and Eddie Van Halen’s house in Malibu which he co‐designed with his son Bobby who was a talented draftsman. Du Bois is also reported to have designed several commercial projects as well, including the Surfrider Hotel in Malibu, the Marina del Rey Beach Club, and several hospitals throughout Los Angeles. He died in 1996 at the age of ninety‐three while living with his daughter in Santa Cruz and was recently deemed one of the “big seven” modernist architects in Palm Springs, despite having been largely underrecognized throughout the course of his career.145 Du Bois with daughter Christine in front of a home              Charles Du Bois in Hawaii, ca. 1990s.

5. Criteria for Evaluation
The City of Palm Springs administers a local designation program in which individual properties and concentrations of properties can be designated as historic resources and historic districts. The designation of significant properties is governed by Title 8, Chapter 8.05 (Historic Preservation) of the Palm Springs Municipal Code (as amended in 2019 and 2020 ordinances) – referred to hereafter as “the Ordinance.”
The Ordinance establishes and authorizes a seven‐member Palm Springs Historic Site Preservation Board (HSPB) to issue decisions regarding applications to alter or demolish designated or potentially eligible resources and for new construction in historic districts; make recommendations to City Council regarding designation of historic resources; advise the City Council and/or Planning Commission in all matters concerning historic preservation; and educate and inform the community on historic preservation matters.146 To facilitate this process, the Ordinance establishes requirements that a property or properties must meet in order to qualify for designation as a historic resource or historic district.147 Per the scope of this report, ARG has evaluated Desert Lanai 1 for nomination as a historic district in the City of Palm Springs.

5.1 City of Palm Springs Historic District Eligibility Criteria The Ordinance defines a historic district as:

Historic district. Any delineated geographic area of the city of Palm Springs excluding Tribal Trust or Allotted Trust Land, containing a number of buildings, structures, natural features or sites having historic, architectural, archaeological, cultural or aesthetic significance and designated by the City Council as a historic district under the provisions of this chapter.

Article III of the Ordinance (Procedures for Designation of Historic Resources and Historic Districts) defines the following criteria for designating Historic Districts in the city148:

Historic Districts. A district may be designated provided the following findings are met:

1. The proposed district and the contributing resources located therein exhibit exceptional historic significance and meet one or more of the criteria listed below:
a. Is associated with events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state or community; or
b. Is associated with the lives of persons who made a meaningful contribution to national, state or local history; or
146 City of Palm Springs Municipal Code, 8.05.030. 147 The City of Palm Springs is also a designated Certified Local Government (CLG), which is a preservation partnership between the National Park Service (NPS), the State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs), and local communities with a goal to create local commitments to historic preservation.
148 City of Palm Springs Municipal Code, 8.05.090. The Ordinance also contains specific historic district designation requirements pertaining to owner notification/consent. As these are pertinent to actual designation but not to evaluation of historical significance and physical integrity as appropriate to the scope of an HRR, these requirements are not addressed herein.

Item 2A - Page 64
Desert Lanai 1 Historic District, Historic Resources Report January 29, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL RESOURCES GROUP 47
c. Reflects or exemplifies a particular period of national, state or local history; or d. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction; or
e. Presents the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect whose individual genius influenced his or her age, or that possesses high artistic value; or f. Represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction, as used in evaluated applications for designation of historic districts, for parcels on which more than one entity exists; or g. Has yielded or may be likely to yield information important to national, state or local history or prehistory.

2. The contributing resources within the proposed district shall be evaluated for integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association according to the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service’s National Register Bulletin titled: “How to apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation” as revised from time to time.

3. The proposed district:
a. Contains contributing resources on a majority of the sites within the proposed district which individually meet the above criteria, as well as other structures, buildings, or archaeological sites which contribute generally to the overall distinctive character of the area and are related historically or visually by plan or physical development; b. Identifies non‐contributing properties or vacant parcels only to the extent necessary to establish appropriate, logical or convenient boundaries.

6. Evaluation of Significance

6.1 Previous Surveys and Evaluations
The properties at 1701‐1749 E. Tachevah Drive, collectively known as Desert Lanai 1, have not been formally designated at the local, state, or federal level. However, in its City of Palm Springs Citywide Historic Context Statement and Survey Findings report drafted 2015‐2016, Historic Resources Group (HRG) found the cluster of buildings eligible for designation as a historic resource in the City of Palm Springs per the Ordinance. Desert Lanai 1 was found to be significant as a multi‐family residential development, and as a good example of Mid‐Century Modern multi‐family residential architecture, because it “exhibits quality of design and distinctive features including its clusters of residential units grouped around a central rectangular garden court and pool; pronounced horizontal massing; and prominent A‐frame porte‐cochere.”149 Due to this survey finding, Desert Lanai is considered a Class 3 resource in Palm Springs.

Since the Desert Lanai 1 complex comprises detached buildings, none of which appear to be independently significant as an individual Class 1 or Class 2 historic resource per the Ordinance, ARG has evaluated the grouping of buildings as a collective historic district based on the City’s requirements. The interior features of Desert Lanai 1 were not evaluated as part of this survey because The City of Palm Springs does not regulate interiors under its Ordinance, and thus they fall outside the scope of this project.

6.2 Statement and Evaluation of Significance
Desert Lanai 1 meets City of Palm Springs Historic District designation Criteria c, e, and f, and retains sufficient integrity to convey its original historic and architectural character. As a result, it is eligible for local designation. Its period of significance is 1960‐1961, reflecting the district’s development period.

Desert Lanai 1’s eligibility under each of the city’s seven criteria is discussed below and is followed by an integrity assessment using the National Register’s seven aspects of integrity as defined by the National Park Service.150
Criterion a: It is associated with events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state or community.
149 City of Palm Springs, Citywide Historic Context Statement and Survey, Appendix C: Eligible Resource List Findings (prepared by Historic Resources Group for the City of Palm Springs, 2016, revised 2023), 113; Historic Resources Group, 257. 150 United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, National Register Bulletin 15: How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation (Washington D.C., U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, 1990, rev. 1997).

Note: A discrepancy currently exists between the criteria applicability groupings as noted in the 2018 HCS and as used by the City. Per email communication from the City Department of Planning Services with ARG on August 23, 2024, the current City interpretation for Criteria c and d is that an architectural style is considered a trend or pattern of development and is evaluated using Criterion c. Criterion d is evaluated under the topic of architecture looking specifically at construction type, period and methods.

Item 2A - Page 66
Desert Lanai 1 Historic District, Historic Resources Report January 29, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL RESOURCES GROUP 49
Desert Lanai 1 is not associated with a singular event that has made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state, or community. Research did not indicate that any significant singular events occurred here. Therefore, ARG does not find the grouping eligible as a historic district under City of Palm Springs Criterion a.

Criterion b: It is associated with lives of persons who made meaningful contributions to national, state or local history.

The district is documented as a planned development by Joseph “Joe” C. Dunas, a significant individual whose projects influenced local building idioms and helped to shape Southern California’s built environment during its post‐World War II period of development. However, to be eligible under this Criterion, the property would need to be directly associated with Dunas’ productive life, which according to National Park Service guidelines, is typically his place of work or residence. ARG also investigated the lives of early residents of Desert Lanai 1, and although several notable local residents and businesspeople were owners there, none appears to the level of having made “meaningful contributions to national, state, or local history.” As a result, ARG finds the subject property is not eligible as a historic district under City of Palm Springs Criterion b.

Criterion c: It reflects or exemplifies a particular period of the national, state or local history.

Constructed between 1960 and 1961, Desert Lanai 1 reflects post‐World War II multi‐family residential development patterns across Southern California and in Palm Springs in particular that resulted from postwar economic growth, automobile suburbanization, and an emerging middle class of new home buyers. Per the Citywide Historic Context Statement, 1945‐1969 was a crucial period of growth in the development of Palm Springs as a resort community, reflecting investment in the city by new seasonal part‐time and full‐time residents attracted by its climate and recreational amenities.

Desert Lanai 1 was one of the earliest condominium properties in Palm Springs and reflects not only the latest architectural styles of the time, but the growing ability of middle‐class owners, especially aging GIs who were becoming retirees, to purchase second homes in the cooperative style ownership model, which were typically equipped with communal amenities (such as a central pool) funded by a homeowner’s association.

Desert Lanai 1 also embodies the distinctive characteristics of the Mid‐Century Modern style that was popularized in Palm Springs during the postwar period, including one‐story floor plan configurations with horizontal massing, flat roofs with broad overhanging eaves, flush‐mounted aluminum/steel windows, decorative support posts, and the addition of private exterior patios and a communal pool and lawn area indicative of Mid‐Century Modern multi‐family complexes built during the mid‐ twentieth century that were used to highlight resort‐style living in Palm Springs. The grouping is also a very rare example of an intact historic district that embodies the distinctive characteristics of Polynesian/“Tiki” architecture in Palm Springs. It includes signature design motifs employed by Du Bois that are emblematic of the style, including a dramatic A‐frame roofline porte‐cochere entrance at the primary (west façade), steeply pitched A‐frame front gabled rooflines on two of the buildings (Buildings 3 and 6), and tropical landscape features like various species of palm trees planted Item 2A - Page 67
Desert Lanai 1 Historic District, Historic Resources Report January 29, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL RESOURCES GROUP 50
throughout the property. As a result, the Desert Lanai 1 grouping appears eligible as a historic district under City of Palm Springs Criterion c.

Criterion d: It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction.

Although Desert Lanai 1 is an excellent example of the Mid‐Century Modern and Polynesian/“Tiki” styles of residential architecture dating to the postwar period as discussed above, it does not embody a distinctive or significant method of construction. Its wood post‐and‐beam framing with stucco cladding are characteristic of the Mid‐Century Modern style, but this construction method is common to buildings of this period. As a result, the grouping does not appear eligible as a historic district under City of Palm Springs Criterion d.

Criterion e: It represents the work of a master builder, designer artist, or architect whose individual genius influenced his age; or it possesses high artistic value.

The subject grouping of properties was developed and built by prominent local developer Joseph “Joe” C. Dunas and master Southern California architect Charles Du Bois. Dunas is primarily recognized in Palm Springs for his collaborations with George and Robert “Bob” Alexander of the Alexander Construction Company, but was prolific in his own work as a single‐ and multi‐family developer and builder as well, operating under the name Jaycee Construction Company (sometimes Jay‐Cee) throughout the Coachella Valley throughout the 1950s‐1970s. Du Bois’ works completed during this time, which include single‐family residences in the Vista Las Palmas and Las Palmas Summit in addition to Desert Lanai 1, have been celebrated for their innovated design. His signature steeply pitched A‐ frame front‐gabled roofline was influenced by the designer’s travels to Hawaii after World War II but were later coined the “Swiss‐Misses” in the 1970s when the Polynesian/“Tiki” style fell out of fashion.

Desert Lanai 1 is the only known multi‐family property comprehensively designed by Charles Du Bois in the City of Palm Springs, and the only known residential development entirely constructed by Dunas and Du Bois in sole partnership with one another (the two worked on other developments together in Palm Springs with the Alexanders and other developers later as well). The grouping clearly conveys the vision of the builder and designer and evokes the ideals of postwar Palm Springs. As a result, ARG finds the subject property eligible as a historic district under City of Palm Springs Criterion e.

Criterion f: It represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction.

Desert Lanai 1 is a distinct and unique collection of architecturally cohesive Mid‐Century Modern condominium buildings related to each other in terms of geography as well as architecture. Sited as a cluster of symmetrical, courtyard style buildings that comprise the first of four phases in the Sunrise Lanai development, the district is easily recognizable as a single entity. Any one of its components, when viewed independently of the rest of the complex, would lack individual distinction. As a result, ARG finds that Desert Lanai 1 eligible as a historic district under the City of Palm Springs Criterion f.

Item 2A - Page 68
Desert Lanai 1 Historic District, Historic Resources Report January 29, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL RESOURCES GROUP 51
Criterion g: It has yielded or may be likely to yield information important to national, state or local history or prehistory.

The land on which the Desert Lanai 1 development is sited existed as sacred reservation land for the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians until as recently as 1960 and may likely yield information important to history or prehistory. However, an archaeological assessment was not conducted as part of this study, therefore the grouping is left unevaluated under Criterion g.

6.3 Character-Defining Features
Contributors and Non-Contributors
All 22 units comprising six total buildings in the Desert Lanai 1 are contributing properties. Therefore, the district is entirely composed of contributing resources. They include 1701, 1703, 1705, 1707, 1709, 1711, 1715, 1717, 1719, 1721, 1723, 1725, 1727, 1729, 1731, 1733, 1735, 1737, 1739, 1741, 1745, and 1749 E. Tachevah Drive, as well as the detached pool house structure and carport.

All buildings present on site of the Desert Lanai 1 complex are contributing historic features, outlined in orange.

Character-Defining Features
Character‐defining features are those physical elements of a resource that define its historic character and help to convey its significance. In instances of future change to a historic resource, character‐ defining features should be retained to the greatest extent possible to ensure the resource continues to be able to physically represent its historical period. ARG developed the following inventory of character‐defining features for the Desert Lanai 1 site, buildings, and landscape features based on visual inspection of the building and evaluation of existing conditions.

Following is a list of character‐defining features of the Desert Lanai 1:

6.4 Integrity Analysis
As noted in above Section 5.1, in order for a grouping of properties to qualify as a City of Palm Springs Historic District, the contributing resources within the proposed district must not only be significant under one or more of the above evaluative criteria but also retain integrity, which the National Park Service defines as “the ability of a property to convey its significance.”151 The National Register has identified seven aspects of integrity as follows; to convey historic integrity, a property will possess several, if not most, of these aspects:152

1. Location: the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred.

2. Design: the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property.

3. Setting: the physical environment of a historic property.

4. Materials: the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property.

5. Workmanship: the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory.

6. Feeling: a property’s expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time.

7. Association: the direct link between an important historic event or person and A historic property.

Desert Lanai 1 retains sufficient integrity to convey historical significance, as detailed in the following evaluation under each of the seven aspects of integrity. All of its buildings contribute to its significance, making for a high degree of overall integrity.

Location: The place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred.

Desert Lanai 1 remains in its original location and therefore retains this aspect of integrity.

Design: The combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property.

152 National Park Service, National Register Bulletin #15, 44.

Item 2A - Page 73
Desert Lanai 1 Historic District, Historic Resources Report January 29, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL RESOURCES GROUP 56
The overall form, plan, and configuration of buildings and site features of Desert Lanai 1 remain intact, as does the unifying architectural features of each of its buildings. All buildings retain their defining characteristics, including their post and beam construction, flat roof forms and A‐frame gables, stucco cladding, fieldstone and cinderblock walls, and wood and steel post privacy screens. Alterations over time have been relatively minor and reversible, including modern tile flooring on exterior street‐facing and communal lawn‐facing patios on some units, reroofing of original Polynesian/“Tiki” style wood thatched shingles with modern cementitious shingles on the steeply gabled A‐frame rooflines, and the removal of some wood features that likely deteriorated over time in the extreme desert climate: the extended gable ridge board at A‐frame gables, horizontal slatted wood fascia, and areas of vertical wood siding. Where observed, window and door replacements at primary building façades utilize existing openings without modifications to openings and with conforming materials, retaining the fenestration pattern and overall rhythm of design. As the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of the district remains intact, Desert Lanai 1 retains integrity of design.

Setting: The physical environment of a historic property.

Desert Lanai 1 was the first of four planned phases constructed as part of the greater Sunrise Lanai condominium development, which was one of the first subdivisions to be constructed in the Section 12 area of the City of Palm Springs, east of Downtown. When Desert Lanai was constructed, it was surrounded by vast, undeveloped desert to the north, east, and south. Today, the area where the subject property is located comprises both multi‐family developments as well as one‐ and two‐story single‐family dwellings, with Palm Springs International Airport sited about half a mile to the district’s east. The setting of Desert Lanai 1 has changed significantly from its period of significance, and thus it no longer retains integrity of setting.

Materials: The physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property.

Desert Lanai 1 retains the majority of its original materials, including wood framing and trim, smooth stucco cladding, fieldstone walls, concrete cinderblock patio walls and planter walls, wood doors, and aluminum/steel‐cased windows and glass sliding doors. Removal of wood details such as vertical wood siding and horizontal slatted wood fascia, as well as replacement of original wood thatched roofing materials, original wood fencing, and some exterior patio floorings are the most visible alterations to the district. Some tropical landscape plantings have also been replaced with indigenous desert plantings over time. All of these alterations are minor and reversible, and do not cumulatively result in loss of integrity of materials. As a result, Desert Lanai 1 retains integrity of materials.

Workmanship: The physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory… [expressed through] both technological practices and aesthetic principles.

The original workmanship of Desert Lanai 1 provides evidence of the crafts and design mentality of its early 1960s period of development and is evident through its intact exterior features, particularly the primary (west) façade’s A‐framed porte‐cochere with eaves extending to the ground and the two Item 2A - Page 74
Desert Lanai 1 Historic District, Historic Resources Report January 29, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL RESOURCES GROUP 57
steeply pitched A‐frame front‐gabled rooflines on Buildings 3 and 6. Thus, the district retains integrity of workmanship.

Feeling: A property’s expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time.

Desert Lanai 1 clearly expresses the aesthetic intent and historic sense of a planned multi‐family residential development, specifically the resort‐style cooperative condominium typology that became popular in Palm Springs in the 1960s. Furthermore, the district’s location, design, materials, and workmanship remain intact and therefore the grouping retains integrity of feeling.

Association: The direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property type.

Desert Lanai 1 retains its modern design and feeling as a Mid‐Century Modern condominium development with Polynesian/“Tiki” style architectural influences. Since construction, the building grouping has maintained its historic association with the greater Sunrise Lanai phased condominium development (as conveyed by period signage). As the district clearly conveys its connection to patterns of multi‐family residential development in Palm Springs during this time, as well as the architectural techniques used by master architect Charles Du Bois, it retains integrity of association.

6.5 Summary of Eligibility
In summary, the Desert Lanai 1 condominium complex appears eligible for listing as a Palm Springs Historic District per Article III of the Ordinance. Its period of significance is 1960‐1961, reflecting the period during which the grouping was constructed. It retains six of seven aspects of integrity, lacking only integrity of setting, which is not essential to conveying its significance.

All of its buildings and structures contribute to its significance, as listed below:

7. Conclusion
Documentary and archival research, site analysis, the development of historic contexts, and evaluations against local eligibility criteria indicate that the properties at 1701‐1749 E. Tachevah Drive, collectively known as Desert Lanai 1 and currently a Class 3 historic resource, meet City of Palm Springs Historic District designation Criteria c, e, and f. All of the properties contribute to the district’s significance. As these properties also retain a high level of integrity to convey their significance, they are eligible for listing a historic district under Article III of the City of Palm Springs Historic Preservation Ordinance.
